Playing with friends/groups

[ggxjimmy 0]

I'll keep it as short as I can.

 

Not all of us have time to play all night and every night. So when I do get the chance to play, I try to make the most of it with my friends. So far, aside from all the Alpha release bugs which are to be expected I've noticed there is a total lack of support for playing in groups (2 or more).

 

-The only simple way to join a server is through steam friends (join game feature).

-Spawns are random, even though we are friends and joined on each other.

-Server details do not give many details away. like time of day. (I simply cannot play night time..I get headaches, lucky me!)

-Looting is very scarce. 20+ people on a server leaves common loot sites bare. leaving us starving and spending all our time looking for food.

-Sharing loot via the backpack option is gone. 

 

Good luck with the development of this game, it truly has potential!

 For food. You must go north, on an unpopulated server. Stop sticking to the coast! Unpopulated Northern villages hold food and water

You need to find your friend. Spawning In-On-Friend would allow clans to rape everyone. All UK Servers are night I believe. GB Servers are always day for me

1 - You can use the friends tab on the server list.

2- As king of kong already said it would allow clans to rape everyone and it shouldnt be that hard to make a rendevous point and work your way towards there

3- If its night in the area the server says its hosted in, then it will be night in dayz.

4-Get out of Electro,Cherno, etc.

5- I agree it would be helpful to add this back in.
