Captain America (DayZ)

Okay, if you played ACE mod, you know that your talking it set to work with ts3 so it's like direct chat in dayz. But when I tried to play DayZ my mic won't work at all. I have tried uninstalling the game and re-installing arma 2, and deleting the folders, but it's still the same thing. Does anybody have skype that can help me out with this? It's getting really annoying.

Yes I have, maybe you could give me your skype and we could see what is wrong?

I select Direct Communications. Then, I get the mic icon and I try to talk. But that doesn't work, my lips move but no sound. Caps Lock is set to the push to talk thing.

I have, I use control to talk in ace and acre with ts3 though.

I just noticed that there aren't nearly as many bandits as there used to be. Anybody else concur? There seem to be a lot more friendlies now then there used to be.

Well, I play mainly in private hives now, so the hacking isn't as much of a problem. KOSing seems to have died a bit and Banditry really is robbing or killing for loot. It hasn't happened as much in my opinion.

As the Forum Team person said, I need to get my mic working ingame for dayz because ACE and ACRE made it so you use your mic in ts3 and it sounds like direct chat in this game. Where it's proximity, but it doesn't work in dayz and I get that. But I'd still like to use my mic in DayZ in direct communication. Since I played ACE and ACRE I can't talk, only type.

Hey guys, I just want to find a private hive that I can go to. I have some preferences but they're small and don't HAVE to be met except one. Preferences: Side chat = off (This MUST be met. It's impossible to play and be immersed for me with this thing on) Rather high player count (like 20 and up) Cross hairs = off That's it, anybody got this or know one? It can also be an rp server. Doesn't matter.

Are there any other private hives that I can go to as well?

Thanks, I'll l Thanks, I'll look into it.

Um, the tents are not saving correctly and the new bandit skin is screwing up. XD People are complaining for Rocket not bringing the whole thing back.

Very fun group of people, you'll learn quick if you're not too experienced. A lot of people there are willing to help you out. ~shawshanks~

No, just... no... I'm an 11th member and we're pretty much yelled at for not coming back and trying again. Sorry dude, you got shit. ~shawshank~

Well, I just got shot with two other people with me at a heli crash site. This isn't a QQ thread. In fact, before then I shot two people from far away while one of them was running. My friends and I found a heli-crash site and we bolted for it. We hadn't thought it through and got shot while taking out the zombies. The sniper killed us. We know full well that they are just killing for kills. Never looting. I was wondering why people do this? I know it seems shitty to kill two people but there were gunshots so I put em down with headshots. They never disconnected, I'd like to thank them. But why do people kill others at these sites with a sniper to not even actually loot.

Hello, I just thought I could suggest things on skins. Maybe extra or perhaps tweaking. Anyway, let's begin. A lot of people complain of being incapable of distinguishing friend from foe. It used to be that you got a Bandit skin after a certain amount of humanity was lost. This was taken out because they became shoot on site and everybody else could just walk around without any problem. Now it has created tension between everybody that doesn't know the other. Which results in a firefight to end the other persons life. Though the tension is good, however, it isn't good to just have people killing each other because we don't know if the other is friendly. Really, with the zombies becoming even more dangerous because they can make you bleed and break your leg in one hit, and they re-spawn ever so quickly, people will then run away from each other. I have a proposition to fix this problem. I don't want to bring back the Bandit skin unless it would be some form of pick up skin. Which is actually what a lot of people seem to want. However, I'm talking about distinguishing right now. What I was thinking, and feel free to reject the notion, but perhaps with every person you kill a slight tear in the clothing or some blood will appear on the person's skin. Very subtle, very small, so you have to actually study the person. Rather than having a whole skin dedicated for this, you can just mess with the clothing a little bit with every murder you acquire. After a certain amount, blood stops appearing or tears or whatever you would decide to put on there would stop appearing because we're going for subtle, not all out "I'M A BANDIT KILL MEEEEEE!" sort of thing. What do you guys think of this? I think it's pretty good. Regarding new skins, perhaps bringing the bandit skin back as a pick up skin would be kind of cool. It looks amazing in the first place and it would be sad to see it go completely. This is a suggestion and I would still play the game even without it as a pick up skin. Really, it doesn't really matter because the game is already amazing. I'm just suggesting to not let the skin you guys worked on for I don't really know how long to not got waste. Another skin you could have is a soldier skin. Not everybody who is in an apocalypse is a civilian. Perhaps the choice of having a soldier skin, even if it's something like boot-camp wear. I believe it would be kind of cool to look like a new soldier who just found himself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and now must scavenge to survive. Of course, they have to start out on the coast like everybody else. No advantage, but more just for role-play reasons or just for the hell of it. One last idea would be the idea of customizing the skins. To change the colors as we see fit and stick with those until we find a different skin. We can't customize those obviously. But at the beginning when creating a character we can choose a gender then customize our civilian clothing. Different color, whether or not we want a hat, what kind of hat, if we want gloves. What color those are, and so on. Finally, the backpacks. I'm not here to ask for another backpack. I'm here to suggest we start with the Czech pack. The little six inventory slot one, because it really is the worst. It pretty much goes to waste when it comes to finding a new backpack. I mean, if you want it to be useful, then you could make backpacks appear on people with gillie suits so they would have to give up their huge backpacks for the small camouflage one that barely shows up. All I'm suggesting here is to make us start with the Czech pack, because it really is useless with less slots than the starter backpack. Thanks for reading.

I never said shooting each other was bad. I just was wondering why sit at a helicopter crash site? There really is no adrenaline when you sit there from like 800 meters away and shoot somebody standing still and never loot them because they don't have good enough gear. There's a difference from killing for loot/self defense, and just being an asshole. I guess that just comes with the whole "Me or him, but I'm not even gonna try to survive, I'll just be a dick and kill for fun". I agree with "me or him" but not with sitting for twenty minutes for one unlucky guy who's just trying to make it out there.

Hey man, I just thought it would be kind of cool if you could distinguish a little bit by just seeing a small amount of blood on a guys collar or something. Another thing, what if there were masks? Just for like, no reason other than to have a mask. Like gas masks or bandanna masks? Some pretty damn cool stuff, if you ask me. Please do find the source, I'd actually like to see what he has in mind.

Actually, they might be able to edit a part of the map to create a jungle/mighty forest. But it's really necessary. Though it would be cool.

The side chat kind of had to go, because griefers could just sit there and read where they were going. What would be cool to see if you could get a radio and go into a radio chat and speak to people. But only if they have a radio.

This was last night. I had an FN FAL and the other guy had an M16. I already said that we acknowledged our mistakes. Read the posts instead of not knowing what you're talking about. All I asked was everybody's take on the mentality, not somebody who obviously hasn't read the actual posts and just decided at one sentence that they believed to be QQ to post.

End game implies that you are almost done or done with the game and are near the end. What you are talking about is high level'd gear that this guy obviously found because he's got more experience. I admit he had the drop on us. But to just say that all there really is to do is kill people is lazy and really, you can't defend that. Shooting people for no reason but to kill them is not dependable, it's simply somebody who was bored with the idea. Instead of continuing to survive and going around finding better stuff, they just sit there and ruin people's days. I know you ruin somebody's day when killing them but when you are doing it because it's of self defense or for the loot it's more defensible than just killing to kill. I know we hadn't scouted it out, all I wanted to know is why do people do this? You don't need to be jerk about it and say it's QQ when I just want to know.

Because the shot was so far you barely heard it. I'm not QQing, I'm just wondering why? Sniping isn't exactly a challenge when people are just sitting there shooting things down or when lying down looting. It's easy to just measure the distance then put the crosshairs in the right place and shoot.

He disconnected due to lag and zombies swarming him. We got shot at after he disconnected.

Well yeah, but it ruins the game for pretty much everybody who comes withing any range of you. The idea was to survive

Actually, he was alone. There was nobody else. I scouted it out and nobody was in the field or going to it. The guy was hidden and shooting for fun for sure.
