Side chat is good, expect to die more often if you remove it. It serves as a useful tool also, why not ask your players what they think? That way you'll get satisfaction by offering what players want!

What he said^^^^^^^

Can't u trace who got the kill shot? I've seen in many servers the " jim was shot by John with a tin opener"

I have mixed luck depending on how long the server has been running for, sometimes a reset will start the Loot spawn mechanic again. I have been on lots of servers where only tins, flares and axes spawn regularly.

Chernarus is fine the way it was, I only hope they haven't taken the "look" away!

because

A lack of imagination springs to mind, What you mention are the scratches on the surface. There is so much more to the setting and environment of the game. If after all the maps released and sever choice available you still haven't found a continually enjoyable way to play then all I would suggest (and do if it was me) would be to put DayZ on the shelf and find something else to play. Try that Game where they stack shit as high as they can in a vain attempt, I think it's called WarZ. How people don't get their hearts racing all the time (Not just confrontations) is beyond me. This game must have given you a reason to buy it in the first place? what was it?

I was seriously liking the map at first because it was a dangerous place to play, Then it became where everyone was just running around, all clueless and in need of help / co-operation. It changed a lot of players as I have never known players to be as approachable since month after mod popularity. You will always get the killers and bandits, I figure they are the ones who don't use chat.

Next time your in proximity to someone in game shout " I'm not friendly" and watch what happens. For some reason people find it funny and lower,their guard! It's far more satisfying than shouting Friendly!

Hetsteak meetings are legendary I hear!

You sure about this? More vehicles especially ones for a specific purposes will be signifying a direction of play! Ambulances for medics, public transport for survivors, and an ice cream van for me!

Reload it.

Graveyard

You see with chat enabled I find more people willing to be friendly. Only today a player was freezing to death and needed some heat pads, I obliged and met him near south base! He lived and he kindly gave me his car, which I promptly tried to fill up and crashed, and the zombies ate me slowly. Not ten mins later I was with another stranger giving him blood and he in turn sorted me out and off we went. Even had a kid on voice help me out, I typed he spoke, was a surprise to meet a 14 year old who didn't open up with his weapon. We played a while and had a laugh! I gave him blood Nd he logged out. I find Namalsk a friendly place because the environment requires you help each other!

Where is it? Most forums I have joined have a shout box, a live message box. This would benefit this forum as I know a lot of people spend a lot of time here! Don't mention the lag!

Are you new to this game? I used to run into the water to slow the zeds down when I first started playing out of fear. Don't get me started on the climbing zeds

Troll!

No, not a fan. Player lives are many, most players who have killed me have hidden the body if you have the hide body option then you don't need any more body search / info options. Chances are if you kill them u know what they died of. Now if it's voyeurism you want, let's petition for diaries, that way you'll learn a lot more about dead players!

I was thinking, when SA comes out how long will it take before your bored of the map? Take into account now we have a lot of maps available for many different types of gameplay. I am not being negative just wondering what the plan is for continuous improvements? Or is this top secret info so the "other game" cant steal ideas? Is rocket going to use the new chernaurus plus map only and release new additions and patches over time? This is just like the mod now but with nothing on the horizon. Or is the team looking into new maps and mods? I would say interest in the mod would have waned had there not have been a community behind it. But as the platform has changed then due to coding and lack of maps this will limit the community for the time being! It seems the MOD will still have a purpose! and those waiting solely for the SA will be limited because they don't have ARMA 2 CO. I'll have both for more choice and experience. As said I'm not being negative, when the SA is released there will be a blank hole from waiting and this I fear will be filled with impatient moaning posts again like before the announcement of the SA. TLDR? In short without giving too much away, what plans you got (or would like) for a prolonged experience with the SA?

hmm yes i would have to agree from the troll point of view, DayZ trolls are like Slayer fans, Obsessed! Shame though.............

I suppose more maps would open the game up as it did for the MOD. I do play for long amounts of hours, but that's the beauty of the game for me, the immersion. so it can become a bit boring quicker for me.

I'd prefer a mod called "IED my dog"

Achievement unlocked Fearless You have spent a night at Green Mountain and lived. Achievement unlocked God Take down a chopper with a Makarov bullet. Achievement unlocked Friendly You have been shot for asking friendly.

If the "dogs" issue is anything to go by then we will be waiting a long time for any major inclusions to the SA. Seems to me we are going to be in a situation where if something changes and goes wrong, just like the mod patches and updates. People are going to get bored of the SA just like they did with the MOD! This remember is one reasons why a lot of players stopped playing because of late fixes, take for example combat logging, only just been worked and still has issues to iron out! Patience is advised. I can wait but some cannot.
