DayZ Standalone idea

[maninthewall 470]

Please let's all be mature

When you press any numbers you get that " Status, Reply " option which is not used for dayz, my suggestion is that we make it a default speaking menu with words like "Hello" "Do you need help?" "I'm friendly" "Yes / No" "Goodbye" "Follow me" "Stop" etc.. And no google translate voice, let's have the voice you chose in character customization

I thought this might be good for the guys who don't have a mic/who wants to use quick answers

Thoughts?

I want to say I like this idea but I think anything that encourages people to play DayZ without a microphone is inherantly bad, lol.

Agreed, but there are WAY too many people don't use mics in DayZ. They either don't have mics or they don't speak english. I think this idea is good either way

I think it's a good idea, because it gives everyone a "microphone" so you don't have to hear all the feedback and crap all the time. I would even go so far as to disable VON and VOIP and have this feature instead, acting as VON and VOIP. It makes it so also no one can be like, "Yeah, the guy who just killed me is..." "There's a sniper at...." "Camp at..." "ZOMG fra fra fool la loop I'ma kid playin' DayZ listen to Gangnam Style guize it sounds so coolz.... pro!" "[insert cursewords here]" "[insert your mom jokes here]" "[insert stupid ragekid or otherwise insignificant argument here]" "[insert annoying sexual innuendos here]" See what I'm getting at?

It's true. I can never be arsed to use my mic when I play L4D with random people and the voice commands are useful.

I don't like that it would encourage people to not use a mic though.

DayZ is supposed to be about human interaction, removing VOIP completely would kill the game IMO. The standalone probably won't have a side or global channel though.

Not really, just shoot them if they are being annoying over VOIP.

I don't mind the idea, I wouldn't use them personally though since I use a mic. Hopefully the the keys are reconfigurable so I can use them for something else (they aren't in ArmA/DayZ mod)

I would make the things the OP is talking about in the language the game is set to. So people who don't speak english can understand themselves, and people who do when encountering those who don't will get:

ManInTheWall is the OP. xD

I generally don't pay attention to user names unless they are in cyan.

Edit: I feel like it makes my posts less biased but also encounters some problems with how I can respond to a post. It all comes down to that it's just how I do things.

Well it would be realy the same thing as those buttons are used for, arma 2 players will know that they are used fore voice communicating through radio, giving orders etc.

This idea, I think, would be perfect, also it shouldn't need a llot of work to do, just some messing around with scripts and arma 2 engine.

I made a suggestion like this earlier. It will help the 'non-mic' users.
