The person does not have a mic? People have such high end desktops but yet can't afford a 10 buck mic? Replying is just that; a person is trying to interact with you and you respond. Then both part separate ways. Not trying to be hostile in any way, just wanted to clarify that. Thank you for stopping by :)

Greetings fellow survivors Yesterday I came across what I believe is a beautiful idea that would add depth to player interaction. It consists of a handshake gesture that could end in a physical handshake if two players do it facing each other. Are you familiar with the "high five" taunt in TF2? One player initiates the animation and it's up to the opposing player to complete the action, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYlo3OGRU3I Some situations this could come in handy would be: player A states he is friendly to player B, both agree to holster their weapons and player A proceeds to say "Hi, my name is John", and initiates the handshake gesture. Then player B replies with his name and completes the action, resulting in a much more rich experience. Since you currently don't have ANY way to physically touch and connect with the other player, rather than improvising high fives with the "F1" animation, what do you guys think?

Long range scopes are extremely rare and I've only found them in the ATC tower and hangars.

I agree, but what if you just exchanged food or something and you want to thank the other player with more than just a hand wave?

I'll let him know via twitter since he's been more active there. Thank you!

Deathtax, sending bambis to hell. One by one.

DayZ is all about meeting people and surviving together. It is so attractive because it has that human element similar to real life; there are a-holes as well as friendly players. Though I agree that if all survivors were friendly then people would stop playing it, it is important to have a balance between these two classes that I just mentioned. People that just kill because of sport are noobs to me, because that means they don't know how to play the game in any other way. I've met bandits that fulfill the role of... well... bandits. They make you surrender, handcuff you and take what they need. They'll let you go afterwards. The problem is some players kill on sight because f*ck you.

Chernarus, the soviet country where we have m4 and american tactical shirts. My body is ready for an AK.

The thing is if i'd want a deathmatch i'll go play other games. Since DayZ is popular for the human element, killing everything on sight is missing 70% of the game, IMHO.

Thank you :) I've yet to encounter these people. I usually judge survivors by their voice tone, helps a ton. A backstabbing a-hole will mostly keep silent and won't interact much. I was at the NWAF. We were 4 in the server, and upon looting the jail next to the fire station my spidey senses tell me to check the door; they were right. There was a guy prone, aiming at the door. As I was in a safe distance, I yelled "hey man, i am friendly"... no response. "Dude, if you don't talk i'll just assume you are a bandit". Still nothing. Then he reloaded his M4, and I peeked over the corner and headshotted him. Some people can't be fixed.

I am not stating it is bullet-proof. I agree most users are a-holes, but they are easy to spot in-game. They react to your voice with their gun ready to shoot and have similar attitudes. They also leave awkward silences between replies. If you keep a safe distance when you announce your intentions, I assure you 90% will react friendly.

My point is announce that you are friendly but keep a safe distance. If you are still insecure, watch how they interact and/or react to your voice.

Corpses disappear 30 secs after the guy disconnects.

Thought i'd let you all know, especially to the devs, I had a 15 fps boost. Don't know what you guys did, but it payed off. Big time.

I'm with you man, there are tons of important stuff that have higher priority than a filthy AK. But as they are adding the SKS and the kruger, they might as well stop with the semi automatic rifles and add the AK :P

I absolutely love the pace you are working at, i'll raise my beans to that. However, when can we expect the Ak-47? I mean, from what I understand Chernarus is a post Soviet-Czech country and there are M4 rifles instead of the signature kalashnikov.
