i like the idea as an option at least, less groups conspiring against someone they are pretending to be friendly with. and more authentic maybe have more than 1 channel so you could have a whisper channel that has low audible range, and a loud channel which has more audible range than normal

depends what streamers/youtubers you watch and as mentioned above, it will do good to ween out all the nooby players who complain that survival is too hard

i find zombies die even with one shot from the pistol no matter where it hits

sometimes a better spawn is just wanting to meet up with your friends. in which case if i spawned a 30 minute walk from a friend who had also just spawned, id prefer to have a quick and easy option so we could meet up in deans early access trailer he showed a woman killing herself with a pistol, it looked very cool. plus like OP mentioned you would have to find something to kill yourself with at least. Also in extreme situations some people would choose the easy way out, i think it would add an interesting narrative to a dead body you find, especially if combined with a handwritten note...

could possibly work, maybe if only applied to fall damage but people should be allowed to suicide to some extent, as spawning halfway across the map from a friend is never great but at the same time, i dont want my limited play time being even more limited because i spawned in the same bad spot mulitple times

1080i is integrated HD, which is slightly less than 1080p search the likes of ebay, id say someone would sell one for cheap not realising its value?

you are asking for a fix to server hopping, and yet you do it yourself?

i played on a 127 player server on the day after launch, seemed to run ok, but there was no loot, probably from people looting it. ran into about 5 fresh spawns in the same area i spawned, that was fun

i have tried abit, but cant really adjust i prefer the mouse movement of course, but i dont like the keyboard for walking etc

not really a debate on which is better... but until dayz i have always been a console player, so yeah im used to a controller, and it works well for me

im not exactly sure what the problem is...but try looking up a program called xpadder it makes your computer think your control pad is a keyboard and mouse. i used it on the mod and now on the sa, and it works fine. can even use the controller on gear menus and stuff, which i found wasnt possible with just the game

i found that last time i was playing, when raising the melee weapon, it would miss almost always (raised as in where the character holds it out like he is present a tropy - looks dumb) but if you lower the weapon and then swing, it works so so much better. so maybe try lowering your weapon? as crazy as that sounds....alpher!

so i was playing today and was running around with my m4 raised, being cautious, then when having to deal with zombies i would switch to the fire axe. But when attacking none of my hits were connecting, but the zombies' punches were. this happened a few times, til i think i have it figured out. if you have your melee weapon raised (kinda like you are holding it out and presenting it to someone) you can attack, but the attacks dont work. I lowered my hands and could 1 hit kill zombies easily. anyone else had this problem?

picked up a pristine copy of alice in wonderland, might give it a read but i was wondering, is there anyway to bookmark your page, or skip to a certain page? dont think i could read the book in one go without being shot or starving to death

a question i have, how long does it take to place the cuffs on someone? because i tried on a suicidal fresh spawn but he resisted. so how do you handcuff someone without them seeing the text and just moving away?

a smart player would log out, a fair player would stick it out, maybe try to get the upper hand on their captor and some people will want to see what happens

merry christmas dayz people! i think everyone should be alot more friendly this time of year...

im all for this feature, more so it would stop one guy coming up and saying he is friendly, while he is telling his friends to flank round and shoot me. which in a normal situation wouldnt happen because you could hear everything someone is saying as they stand in front of you and if the game clearly states your voice is broadcasted at all times, then its not really an "invasion" its a feature/gameplay element and if people are really that private, they probably shouldnt be playing a game with other people...

never watched his videos, but since he hosted the dayz pre-alpha live streams with rocket, i would assume what he said at the time was what he believed to be true based on what he was told but since rocket and BI are taking a break over christmas, i would assume there was too much work needed in the patch for it to be ready on time, unless they worked up until and over christmas. also good to bear in mind that people like rocket and matt lightfoot arnt from the czech republic and needed time to travel home for the holidays

yeah theres nothing better than talking in chat, and then typing HELLO IM FRIENDLY :lol:

i have managed to use the portable gas lamp fine. it didnt work in my hands, but i set it down then switched it on, and it worked, lit up the top 2 floors of the fire station tower, perhaps more. naturally i turned it on and ran away lol

didnt get soldier class when i spawned in, must kill myself over and over, get right class, have unnecessary advantages against other classes and one class will always end up being more OP compared to the rest sorry but not an idea that could work fairly in dayz

they are like elves, work all year to make christmas great, then get to rest during christmas lol although il miss having some updates to the mod....cant believe i just wrote mod....i mean game!!! I think rocket and the rest of the guys deserve a break before coming back to the constant demands of making dayz better

haven't tried making a fire yet. but sickness can be cured by keeping well fed and hydrated over a long period of time. and blood bags...kinda suck now, its all about the saline now lol

when i started on the mod i had the default device problem, the sounds card had its own program controlling sound, and it was registered as a device. So i could use skype and teamspeak, but not speak in game. I did the above steps and it fixed it for me and 1 or 2 other people. So definitely worth checking if you think you can't be heard in game
