comunicating with players

[[email protected] 0]

hey all,

been playing for a while now and the one problem i always seems to have is comunicating with other players.

for instance in my last game i meet a survivor and we decided to go north together. we got to a camp and got heaps of weapons and lot. i then went and killed some zombies but got knocked out and lost lots of blood. we have been comunicating via direct channel voice for a while but then his Mic stayed on or something and i could not talk over him to him. so i need blood badly, i had a blood bag. i couldn't tell him to give me some as he couldn't hear me. i tried typing, but he wasn't reading it or something. i tried putting the blood bag ont he ground but he took it but didn't realize i needed it.

so i was wondering, what are the best ways to comunicate with someone who you just meet. any tricks? and what happens when there Mic is always on and you can't see to speak to them.

The best thing would be if you got skype and just add the player on there. :)

Any time I meet someone who I want to team up with, I ask them if they have some voice communication service such as Teamspeak, Mumble, Ventrilo, or Skype.

I remember the first guy that I met and played with for a while in DayZ via direct com. His name was Chris. We meet in the streets of Cherno, under heavy fire and zombies who were longing for flesh.

We went everywhere on the map. We even found a white skoda...looted the NWAF, Starry...everything.

And then the server crashed.

It didn't come back up for three days. I was really sad that I didn't get his Skype sooner.

But then later on in my DayZ life I met up with three other guys and I play with them everyday.

Morale of the story: Get his/her Skype/teamspeak/whatever.

we where speaking for a while before i couldn't speak to him anymore.

is that the case? if someone is speaking i can't soeak over them? as his mic was on all the time when i stopped being able to talk to him. funny thing is i could hear his conversation he was having with his brother about me.

and with the typing. can anyone read that who is near when on the direct channel?

Yes, typing works the same way as voice in game. They can see it when they are close to you.

Skype is a horrid VOIP software. I would strongly recommend teamspeak, mumble, or ventrillo over skype.
