About group in dayz

[Helionix 0]

Hi all, after a very bad experience this evening, i would ask for something in a next update, if it's possible by the way.

1/ Could you add a function ingame, who can let player create à group ( and keep friendly fire of course )

2/ After a group creation, a graphic change on client side, example a color near your mates, or a nickname visibility when you target a mate ?

The problem: When we are 6 to 10 mates, it's hard to regognize who is who. Hard to regognize a non member of the group, and then, it's dangerous.

It's a little thing, but could be a very good point.

Thanks for reading

You gotta coordinate better, get your formations down pat and such. Rocket is indeed planning on adding a group functionality.

USE YOUR SEARCH BUTTON BRO

I strongly support this idea! But keep it simple.

I'm not really 100% in support of this idea, as it takes away from the coordination required behind running a group successfully. Constantly reporting locations and have caution is necessary for all members. It brings to mind the issue regarding the hover-names when you aim at people, though. On certain servers, this is disabled completely, and on others it's on completely. Would be nice to have it on, but just with a smaller distance, or you can 'Name' players, and they won't appear unless you've manually tagged them in your mind.

I think I saw a post like this somewhere, though...

Technically this already exists.

The Squad.XML that comes with Arma 2, you have a profile which displays information about your group if you are in one and also shows a 256x256 (Adjustable) graphic along with the information. This graphic also appears on some vehicles, and if I am right on your arm as well. I could be wrong about it appearing on your arm.

However armbands are coming in the future.

And how's this possible without the help of 3rd party chat programs, maybe thats what he meant when asking to add a group function.

1/ Possible to create a squad / group

2/ Possible to see on client side, my group with a color with transparency on their skin

+1 agree, also like the manually tagging
