Free Roam Observing Mode?

Haha, I'm fine with that. I've gotten pretty decent on my own, but it's impossible to go any further by yourself at a certain point. I'm very interested in a grouping option too. Doesn't mean friendly fire will be turned off of course. Gotta keep that fear, real!

If you know the basics then I don't think you'd learn much from watching random players that you wouldn't learn from just playing the game. Just use your head and you should be fine. :)

By grouping do you mean playing with friends? Can't you just join the same server? Lol.

I'm sorry to have to tell you, but this is a very bad idea. It's just too difficult and impractical to implement without risk of breaking the game.

Modus operandi per now is: Choose server > Log into lobby > Log into game. Having a random server pop up just wouldn't work for DayZ - not currently, at least.

Even though the server was random, obtaining the IP would be relatively easy for hackers. And then griefers could just inform of camps, campers and player locations to other griefers over VOIP. It would ruin the game.

Edit: However I do like the idea of a helmet cam, but until they get radios to work in-game, that certainly won't work either.

Thank You! You're probably the only person who posted how easy it is for some kid to get the ip of the server :D
