The point of an Alpha is to test a game and report bugs, not bitch and cry like a little spoiled prat because it isn't up to par with a release game. Complaining about something during an Alpha is pointless when it is constructive criticism that is needed. You would do well to understand this before making more posts telling people what to do.

Zombies cannot run as fast as you. Learn to run.

Yeah...I have heard some downright strange conversations...one of them was practically porn...no joke.

ArmA 2 is not DayZ. It's ArmA 2. A different game by the same company. You may have purchased ArmA 2 with the sole intent of playing the DayZ mod but unfortunately there is no way for them to tell who bought it for that purpose and who didn't. Either way...it's a different game and they deserve the money to fund the game and improve it. DayZ is well worth the $30. ArmA 2 by itself is also more than worth anything you paid for it and you can still play the mod in ArmA 2 which you will likely do when you tire of the bugs in DayZ SA.

FANTASTIC! Thank you very much for the reply and confirmation on that. It will be great to play this weekend without the "excess commentary" in the game!

Does it actually work like that? I didn't have a chance to test it but I turned VOIP all the way down. My problem is if this turns off direct comms then it's a real problem. If direct comms still works with the VOIP bar all the way down then it's no big deal.

I have had to have the can opener or whatever I am using to open the can in my hand for it to work as well...

I am just going to come out and say that this is by far the biggest bug in the game for me. I cannot describe how annoying it really is to hear some mouth-breather constantly eating his microphone or some random buy babbling about one stupid thing or another or even the constant screaming and yelling from immature morons when you are trying to listen to what is going on around you. It happens in every server and usually goes away after a time. Muting every player on the server doesn't fix the issue so it is obviously bigger than that. The reason I make this post is because I feel that this should be made a high priority fix and addressed immediately. Hopefully it already is. Does anybody agree? After that, zombies pushing you through walls only to get you stuck inside a building...

Would it make you feel better if I told you that it was me shooting you with a Mosin? Seriously...you got shot.

I like the idea of missions in the map that would encourage PVP encounters but this idea wouldn't work for many obvious reasons. First and foremost being, why in the hell would I want a supply drop from a plane instead of a rescue?

Good point. I didn't even think of that.

Will there be an animation or a reaction to licking the battery or will it just be a text notification?

I see your point. Can you walk while having your hands up in the surrender action? My original thought was to be able to have the item in hand and as you press "F" to bring it up like you would your weapon you could instead hold it over your head while you walk towards someone.

Man has a point. Really can't argue with that logic.

TL:DR version... OP says game is too hard and want's easy mode.
