Kaboshi (DayZ)

Ok, I understand a lot more now. Thank you guys. Also, id prefer to use the direct channel even in organized groups. creates a better atmosphere to the game. :)

yeah, we got pinned down in a farm house and because of how much space there was he accidentally shot me, he tried to pull me away so he could heal me before the zombies got closer but I got stuck on the wall haha.

Okay, I apologize for making a new thread, but i did use the search feature and didn't find what I was looking for thus I made a new thread unfortunately. but thank you anyways.

I thought it be interesting to have a thread on how you became a friend or acquaintance with someone. I apologize if someone already made a thread. I made a new steam friend on the first day I decided to play the game. Scenario: I saw a stranger running in the open field, asked who it was in the chat and he stopped moving immediately. It was also getting dark, and I wasn't looking forward to being by myself in the darkness so I stayed truthful and told him. he obviously was suspicious of me as he really took his time to answer me. So I also mentioned that if he didn't want to he could walk away and Id move on. we ended up becoming buddies after killing a town full of zombies. I mean I don't have advice but thats how something went down for me. I think its a lot easier to make friends away from the cities imo.

Alright, so I am fairly new to the Arma 2 Universe. I have been playing arma 2 free until I found out about Day Z. I just got a couple questions about voice chatting in servers. I understand that theres multiple voice/chat channels: global side direct etcc... I noticed when someone talked in one of the channels that everyone can hear, they got a text full saying to not do it cause it lags the server. I'm wondering, cuz i don't like finding out things the hard way... can you voice chat in the direct channel? the direct channel only broadcasts to people around me right? I also know about A.C.R.E and Teamspeak, just wondering if thats being used at all. could someone give me the run down? Much appreciated.
