No he's not. You're mistaking thinking you're smart with being an angry, angry man.

That would be a good idea, since it allows people such as I to continue playing how we do while warning others who want to allie with players to stay away.

And if others enjoy scavenging that's fine too, but You, others, and I enjoy hunting. Why hate?

No no, not validation. Discussion, and Understanding instead. So much hate is flung at those who choose to kill others, I only wish to point out that it shouldn't be considered wrong. This is in hopes of removing that negative feeling, or atleast creating discussion that would have others understand the opposite side's opinion.

You put it quite well. There are obviously a variety of goals players could find in this game, but to me the most defined are Surviving and Hunting. I see so many people get angry at others who choose Hunting, and I was really posting to see if I could get others to understand that it's just a playstyle and they shouldn't be so hostile to people who do choose to do it. Were there other more defined goals, such as rebuilding, that also gave me a challenge and enjoyment in completetion I would glady participate in them as well.

It is, to me, the most fun goal in the game. I don't see why I can't choose to follow the goal I find most fun in pursuing that the game lets me choose.

I see so much flak agaisnt people who kill unarmed players/people who KoS, and I think it's unfair to assume the game shouldn't ever be played that way. I just started playing DayZ over a week ago and to me the game pretty much from the start was about two things: 1. Getting good loot (Weapons/Camo/Medical Supplies) 2. Killing as many players as possible with said loot. For me, that's what the goal is of the game, living as long as possible while killing as many other players as I possibly can. Some people prefer to play as a survivor instead, finding guns as only a means of protection and otherwise just amassing food/drink/medical supplies to survive... That's fine, feel free to play that way. I'm not going to badmouth your playstyle. Just don't get upset when you get shot sprinting into Elektro expecting easy supplies/messages of friendship.

To be completely honest, if I was in his shoes I would have done the same. I've been looking for that damn sniper rifle for so long.

I KoS all the time. To me, the real fun of the game is just seeing how much loot I can get, and how high I can rack up the kill counter. I didn't even know KoSing was considered an 'issue' going into the game, I just assumed thats what everyone would do.

I assumed that Six launcher would launch the game in some other method, but apparently not. I followed step 1 and my mic works now. Thanks for the help!

The only solution I haven't tried yet is Solution 1, which I'm unsure of on how to do. I launch DayZ through the Six Launcher, what should I do then?

Bumping

Was able to test it today, and still nothing. No one can hear me, even in the slightest.

Ah, yes it's checked off. I'll uncheck it and attempt later when atleast one of my friends is online.

Picked up DayZ recently and today my friend figured out that Capslocks is the key to talk via mic on DayZ. For some reason, both of them could hear eachother while talking in Direct Chat, but neither could hear me. We were all standing together, I was sure I was in Direct Chat, I had the button pressed down (Also tried Double-Tapping it), but neither could hear me. I know my Mic was working since we were talking in skype at the time. Does anyone know what issue I'm having here? My headset is a Rocketfish Universal Wired Gaming Headset.
