Survivor-Kyle 148 Posted July 8, 2012 There has been a recent influx of players who are posting up that they are looking for someone to play with. I've goin threads in just about every forum. Can a new subforum for this topic be created? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Survivor-Kyle 148 Posted July 8, 2012 I personally think they belong nowhere, because people form groups outside of the game, where they feel safe, and then make no effort to contact others ingame. And if it's your first moments in game, you miss out on the isolation and fear that comes with it. That said, something has to be done about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not trying to discuss game mechanics here, just suggesting that the forum could use a "looking to group up" area. We have the nemo thread, but I think a sub forum would be more effective, as people could post details in the thread titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillionGunman 0 Posted July 9, 2012 I too think that players should try to team up in-game rather than on the forum or in chat rooms. Admittedly, I've only managed to team up with three or four survivors since I started playing DayZ, and none of those partnerships lasted very long, due to zombies and hostile players, but I think this is something that will become easier over time, especially if rocket makes more buildings accessible and allows us to use them as bases and trading posts.

WhiteTigerShiro 25 Posted July 9, 2012 http://dayzmod.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=12People should try actually looking around the forums before suggesting a board that already exists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Survivor-Kyle 148 Posted July 9, 2012 http://dayzmod.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=12People should try actually looking around the forums before suggesting a board that already exists.Survivor HQ is:1) Not specifically a "I'm looking to team up" forum2) Obviously not effective at limiting such threads to that single area3) Contains the "Finding Nemo" thread, that I mentioned in my posts, but that thread is obviously NOT working as a "I want to team up" thread. A subforum would be much more obvious to new players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
