I never knew the importance of a mic

[J-B 5]

Hey all!

I finally got my mic working again for Day Z and now understand why it is such a good thing to have. For 2 months i have been playing through text and while i was able to communicate, it was slow, and dangerous (say if we were in a firefight). When talking to newly met people lots of things can get lost in translation through text. I feel that the mic is such an important part to Day Z. The first game i played with an active mic i gained 2 group members in 10 minutes. we healed and dealed (damage :P) to Zeds. It was such a great experience using a mic and i think anyone that plays this game NEEDS to use it.

common sense is a great thing to add to the forums. Good job. I actually just met someone named Jack in Cherno today, had he not had a mic, his brains would have been painting the Church walls.

Open communications, friendly negotiation is what it's all about.

Mostly what happens is you meet another player and try to ask him if he's friendly and he leaves his weapon pointed at you and starts writing text. That's when you shoot. Mic is an essential part of the game and adds to the immersion that keyboard typing can easily break.

Playing with a headset is also a huge advantage, you can hear things you normally wouldnt through your speakers, and also pin point where shots etc are coming from.
