Diemaco (DayZ) 0 Posted June 11, 2012 What's the deal with direct communication? It seems to randomly work for me. Yesterday I was playing on a Dallas ## server and I was chatting with this guy with my mic using direct communication.Today I was on a, probably different, Dallas server, and I couldn't get it to work with 3 different guys I met.Has this something to do with server settings, or is it just buggy? Cause it works in Arma all the time.Anyway, I think this should be top priority. I think a lot of the current 'Day Z is turning into CoD and everyone just shoots eachother' issue can be solved if you could shout to people not to shoot you, or 'friendly? friendly?'. The other day I spawned on the beach and not long after I saw a guy with an enfield. He didn't see me so I thought, what the hell, I want that Enfield. I crept close and opened fire but he start yelling 'don't shoot, don't shoot, Im fucking friendly!!'. And I felt really bad for shooting this guy. Because he responded with emotion, so I in turn felt emotion for shooting him. It ended up with us teaming up and going to Balota airstrip. Where we admittedly killed like 4 guys, but we were working together as a team, through direct comms.I remember reading somewhere that rocket has fixing direct comms is his highest priority. Is this still the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
