No Respawn, why would I support offical release?
drmantistoboggan (DayZ) replied to skizzylskzl's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Ever been teleported to wilderness by a hacker? The "fix" to this, which is supposedly in the latest patch, does not work. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting a half dozen times and I still respawned in the wilderness. My options were to either run for half an hour back to the mainland, or wait until I died of starvation. It's nice to see Rocket tests his patches so dilligently. -
Bring back global chat

Only in the mind of a neckbeard is the line between fun/function and COD razor-thin. Keep the mod unforgiving and inaccessible. The track record of unforiging and inaccessible mods is promising. -

Never mind that there's no centralized match-making service for DayZ. I'm not talking about spawning together or having a "group" feature: if you want to play with an impromptu group, you can't because there's not even a means to communicate with other players while actually in the game. Instead, you're expected to hang out on the DayZ message boards all day and hope to coordinate a match, rather than just ask "anyone want to team up?" while in a server? If this game wants to have any sort of new player or casual player appeal then accomodations need to be made. I'll gladly piss off a few hundred neckbeards to gain or retain a few thousand new or casual players. -
It existed before 1.7.2.4, it just wasn't as bad.

Bring back global chat

Exactly. If the community truly doesn't want it then server administrators will disable the global chat variable. Or, if a player just doesn't want to see all of the chat then he can toggle "disable chat." -

It's realy offputting when you help a stranger by killing zombies that are chasing him, you stop and type "friendly?" because you're within the ridiculously small radius-of-communication, and you get blasted in the face while you're still typing. It's even more offputting when you're a noob and crawling through a city looking for a gun or supplies and you get sniped from someone camping in a tower or on a hill because, again, you can't communicate when you're outside of that 40 meter radius. -

Exactly why I'm proposing a server variable and not a server constant. -

I should wait to shoot and risk dying in every server I play on because you don't want a server variable that enables global chat? -

Yes, removing global chat and alienating new players by forcing PvP out of sheer nervousness is clearly the best update to DayZ yet. Let's just get it over with and relegate the game to basement dwellers, because this is clearly the direction in which the mod is headed.
