Yeah. I kind of knew he was bullshitting me, because we had pretty good eyes on the entire town, so I knew where I had to focus on.

I think I actually fired both barrels at once. :D

Glad you liked it! Only after going over the footage a few times did I realize the guy in the fire station was working with the two guys from the train depot.. They tried rushing the fire station at the same time he came down. He must have told them when to move in through a VOIP.. Glad I had backup!

When someone signs up for the forums and their first post is bitching about shit that has been covered and/or answered in 100 other threads, THEY ARE IGNORANT.. Lurk and use the search function, or sign up for a bug tracker account and post your BUGS there, if you have legit criticism for the game. Signing up for an account just to say "ZOMG HACKERS AND KOSERS" is nothing new, and contributes nothing to the progression of this game or community.

You still haven't explained how people who use TS have a huge advantage...Anyone can download TS, anyone can make friends and cooperate with them. It's not "unfair". An M4 with 60 round mag gives bandits a huge advantage over fresh spawns.. I guess we should take that out of the game, too..

So, you're saying Dean should implement a "feature" in the game that would be an inconvenience for most people to circumvent and they would feel the need to circumvent it because it's totally bullshit, and that's a GOOD thing? Are you stoned?

Oh I'm fully aware.. I made several comments 'bout it.. I knew what was coming and decided against it.

Impossible. . I can connect my Microphone to a separate sound device, then DayZ can't control it... So what would that do? Make everyone who uses out-of-game VOIP cheaters? I'm sorry, but that's completely ridiculous.

1. What the hell are you talking about? 2. Why would you want to curb out-of-game communications? People can still use in-game VOIP... Having teamspeak doesn't discourage people to use in-game VOIP. And yes, in all honesty, it would be a big deal because as I said, if you force my mic to stay opened at all times it would be a complete cluster-fuck and I would just disable in-game voip and still use teamspeak.. so your plan would backfire.

1. Not everyone has that option.. And if someone doesn't have a mic that means they can speak without being heard.. Obviously this is an advantage in a tense situation.. Where as the person who has a hot mic and has background noise would be automatically giving their position away by something that's happening outside of the game. 2. I'm speaking to people out of the game about things in the game.. There's really no way you can control that.. I could simply assign a different sound device or disable DayZ VOIP all together, then I could still talk in teamspeak to my friends. There's no fucking way you can stop that, and EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO IT, SO THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE. It's not my fault if you do not have friends or do not use teamspeak to talk with your friends. If you have a bad PC, it's YOUR problem, not mine.. If you have no mic, it's YOUR problem, not mine. If you choose not to use TS/Vent/Mumble, it's YOUR problem, not mine. Furthermore, there are a lot of disadvantages to having a VOIP program running while you're playing the game, as disorganized/undisciplined players are going to be more distracted by it than they are going to gain any advantage/valuable info.

1. A dog generally barks louder than a person talks in their normal speaking voice. Mic static can't be controlled by sensitivity.. And, not everyone has/uses a mic.. So that blows your point out of the water. Any other arguments to the contrary? I'd love to hear you rationalize these away. 2. How do I have an advantage over other players, exactly? Please explain to me how free VOIP programs which ANYONE can download, give me a "huge advantage"? Furthermore, wouldn't it be a huge advantage for other people if they simply disconnected their mic in your scenario? By your logic, since I have a I5 processor, I am at a huge disadvantage versus someone with an I7 processor.. because they have hardware which isn't included in the game in order to give them an advantage in the game.. Better force everyone to play at 15 FPS, just to make it fair for everyone, right? Do you even think about some of the things you suggest? Do you ever challenge your own beliefs, or do you just latch on to some unrealistic idea and ride that bitch right into the absurd?

Lower FOV = Better for most circumstances in DayZ... By default, on 3rd person perspective, I set my bar to about half-way through the word "field" in "field of view". In 1st person servers, I increase it slightly. For sniping, I turn it all the way down. So, pro's and con's.. Low FOV = Better for spotting other players, and objects.. Better for sniping.. Better for general running around and across fields, as you are not likely to have any close range engagements. Better for long range engagements in general. High FOV = Better for close quarters.. Like running around inside of buildings and around towns like Elektro, assuming you aren't worried about snipers.

What if a cat is meowing or a dog barking in the background? What if a kid has a fan blowing on his mic? What if his mom comes slamming on his door? What if there's a party going on in the background? What if someone just has a really bad microphone and it causes constant static? What if someone just doesn't have a mic? As to "why should you be able to communicate with friends in game talking tactics while remaining silent in game" Because it's a fucking game, for chrissakes.. I want to play with friends and use teamwork to accomplish goals. If you're so hard up for a real life survival experience, go purchase a fire-arm and take a trip to Montana and hunt a fucking mountain cat.

This should never happen. Ever. Worst idea.

Maybe.. but I haven't played a lot of zombie games, tbh.

Welcome to Alpha... Yes, the zombies suck. They'll get better.

As I've said already in this thread... My comment was not directed to people like yourself. It was directed to people who come here JUST TO COMPLAIN. You've made a mountain out of a mole hill in your mind.

1. Too much background noise.. can hear every click of your mouse/keyboard. 2. Wrong aspect ratio.. 3. Where's the commentary? 4. Would help if you set up the scene/history with some commentary or scrolling text .. otherwise, good job.

Yeah, it was.. I was implying that the majority of the time when a thread like this is posted, criticizing the game out of ignorance, it's from a member who has a very low post count.

Yup. Kossuth and I met on a server when I was low blood in Zeleno from zeds. Asked for help in side chat and he showed up on a quad and bloodbagged me. We ran into one another a few more times and ended up teaming up. A month or two later we met Hoff under similar circumstances.. That was almost a year ago now. We all ended up being heroes in the mod and kept paying the kindness forward. We've saved each others asses more times than I can count and been through a lot. :)

If the post didn't apply to you, then don't bother responding to it.. People who have 1 post and come to the forums to declare the sky is falling are usually 1 post noobs who come to the forums JUST TO BITCH. If this doesn't apply to you, then why does my post bother you?

Learn to read. I never said high post count equals knowledge. I was pointing out that A LOT of the people who are posting stupid bullshit threads that have been rehashed 100 times over have like ... 1 post.. or 8 posts.. or 20 posts.. Hence: LURK MORE.

Yeah.. He said it with such conviction I questioned my own education. Had to ask a fellow linguist and check the dictionary.

I'm not a murderer or bandit, and I completely agree. I tend to play a little more friendly.. was a hero in the mod. I try to hunt down bandits and help new players... that said, killing is a part of the game and without it the game would be fucking boring.

You're using it wrong. It's "Due to the majority."
