captain_finnish 134 Posted May 12, 2014 Am I the only one who is listening podcasts while playing DayZ? It gets really boring sometimes when you just run from coast to NWAF, so I usually play something in the background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCreeper (DayZ) 3565 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I would advise against it, back on the MustyGaming Server, I ran across some one, proned out with a Mk. 48, laying in a bush watching a truck, I came up behind him, told him to drop the weapon and ID himself, he just laid there, I repeted myself twice more then hosed him after no reply, his buddy heard the gun shots and came over, ended up having to kill him too, after I saw the names, I realised I just hosed two buddies of mine, when I dropped TS channels to find out why he didn't ID himself, " oh sorry man, I was listening to Dub Step, didn't hear you ", but still it's how you want to play the game, its the risk you take.

Good man, still, its the one thing you miss that may prove fatal, I've been saved by hearing footsteps near by, though I have been known to play some clasic rock while flying a chopper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One disadvantage too is that if I see/hear someone nearby, I need to Alt+Tab to stop what ever I am listening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xalienax 621 Posted May 12, 2014 lol my clan-mates often accuse me of "Sound whoring" because i set effetcs all the way up and use i surround headset. more often then not its the sound of an angry zombie, distant gunshot or foot steps that alert me that were not alone long beofre anyone else calls it out. maintaining that 100% situationa awareness at all times is a live or die thing for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MetapoliC 263 Posted May 12, 2014 I was playing music for the people in Berezino once. Nobody killed me in the 40 minutes I was there. Everybody seem to like Bob Marley. Some of the guys even came to me and started to dance. I got shot in the back by someone, couldn't walk anymore but they didn't killed me :D Music was playing... and playing... and playing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Snake in Your Shorts 3 Posted May 13, 2014 I'll throw something on my TV while I play, more as white noise than anything else. I'll have headphones in one ear and the show will be playing. Usually something I won't watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
