See your location on your Map question

Then why dont you just play the game the way you like and stop mocking people who play differently? It's really getting annoying and its childish behaviour which is why I replied on your level ;) , not just you though...

 

BTW I dont see myself as a casual player, I also prefer 1PP servers and would prefer to use an ingame map over DayZDB if it would give me more information (see my thread in suggestions concerning maps). And I also like the idea of radios to communicate in game, but the VOIP just isnt good enough (no voice activation, bad audio quality, no dynamic range etc).

Yeah, I refuse to be told not to discuss and debate on a general discussion forum. Is criticism okay as long as it isn't directed at you, or the way you play, or how the way you play affects the game? The constant, *throws hands over ears* "La La La! Not listening! Not listening!" from certain people on these forums is getting ridiculous.

 

You don't have to agree and you can vehemently provide counterpoints but trying to stifle the opposing view's observations is quite possibly the worst thing you can do for these forums as well as this game.

I am all for as much realism and immersion as possible in DayZ. I myself use the in game map ONLY. I'm all for FPP servers.

I even hate the fact that you can just stick a weapon to your back without finding a strap or something to hold it first.

We should be forced to stick to one weapon (unless its a sidearm like a pistol that fits in your pocket) and have to keep it in your hands until we find a strap first.

Maybe we could fashion something out of a rope that works but your weapon falls off every now and then.

Anyways, getting side tracked here.

 

As for TS, I use it with my clan because it would be near impossible to find 6 other people without some form of outside communication.

I would prefer it if the hand radios worked so if someone else finds one and switches to your frequency, they would be able to listen in and try to find your position.

I've always thought the in game voice chat should be mandatory somehow so you could hear groups talking and sneak up on them, but that's not going to happen for obvious reasons.

Thers just now way that I'm going to not play with friends because it's not realistic.

I love playing lone wolf and using VOIP, but to play with a group, it's next to impossible to do without an outside form of communication.

 

How do you play with your friends?

I would love to know how you meet up with your buddies while keeping it withing the games limits.

I also appreciate realism but some people need to learn that you cannot make a game 100% realistic. There will and must always be a compromise between realism and playability. I really wouldnt want to have to drop my gun every time I want to pick up an item or eat something or even my gun falling off my back, thats just annoying and doesnt contribute to the gameplay.

 

And maybe Sidewinder needs to learn the difference between mocking people and discussing...

While I agree that a game can't be 100% realistic, but if your gun is falling off your back, then you obviously would have a ruined piece of gear making that happen, so it would be up to you to fix the problem, or better yet watch yourself and never even let it happen. I would like to see mechanics like that implemented into dayz.
