I would be fine with less found, provided the stream line the requirements for things like fishing or cooking. Then adjust the system for burning off food and becoming hunger once again. I mean how many of you can sit down and eat almost an entire pig in real life and then be hungry an hour later?!? I am all for a more realistic system but that doesn't just mean less cans of food.

Well considering we all know how to hunt, clean and prepare wild game. We can not only operate but maintain every weapon in the world, have great first add skills (how many of you can stitch up a knife wound, let alone remove a bullet or set a broken leg). So yeah, a few years into a zombie apocalypse I would imagine those still around are there because they aren't ordinary citizens.

Third Person View should be Over-the-Shoulder, NOT a bird's eye view.
Briljin replied to Rags!'s topic in General Discussion
That is my one and only concern with them trying to "fix" wall peaking. A change of this size would require a lot of testing and this couldn't be released as so bug ridden feature. If done correctly it would be a nice improvement (as I really dislike 1pp and wall peaking) but it has to be pretty damn perfect or a large percentage of the player base will be pissed off that you ruined their game experience to deal with something they don't see as an issue. -
Third Person View should be Over-the-Shoulder, NOT a bird's eye view.
Briljin replied to Rags!'s topic in General Discussion
Not surprising, the polls show that 3pp is still very popular with only about 20% completely against it. So about 30% still like it but think some changes could be made, not really a surprise. -
I would be fine, provided they actually fix the issues that lead to needing a wipe in the first place. This problem was reported several times during the testing and yet, here we are.
-
Are you crazy, that is almost instant death! Oh wait, your talking RL and not Dayz... I am all for more realistic game mechanics, once they actually fix the current movement system to be more realistic.
-
I am willing to give BE the benefit of the doubt that they are only looking for cheat related activity (lets be clear, we can only take them at their word unless we are allowed to decompile the code to see for ourselves) but I sure hope they have this code secured and it is heavily monitored to ensure it is not compromised. There are a lot of complaints about cheating, so they are taking a rather large step to try and root it out. Hopefully it works.
-
Yes, it should. This is not just some small annoyance we are talking about. I am fine with small bugs flying under the radar while they work upon more important stuff but when going above the first floor in a building can randomly result in your death, that isn't a small thing.
-
This has fooled me more than once in that large field and the worst part if you are the one that triggered the re-explosion on yourself. So in essence you just trolled yourself :)
-
One of my biggest gripes about the game at this point is the horrible jumping system. I was blocked in a barracks room this weekend by a dead zed and player, after spending a few minutes trying to escape I finally gave up and logged out to avoid someone investigating the gun shots and shooting me like a fish in a barrel. Honestly, how did "vault" survive this long? I heard the movement is something they are working upon but it can not come fast enough. Thanks for the tip Ricp!

how has the dry wells affected your gameplay
Briljin replied to kermo50's topic in General Discussion
As I tend to play in the same regions most the time, I know where all the wells where on my trip and I would use them frequently enough that I never even bothered to carry and canteen/water bottle or any drinks. Now I carry 2 canteens and I have learned where the ponds/streams are in the same area and for the most part nothing really changed. It would be nice if filling a canteen with rain water didn't require so much micro management. It really should work just like filling up from a well (if fixed obviously) or ponds. That and can we finally fix the "drink all" option.. -
I would accept it, if it was accompanied by actually working persistence and item respawn. Otherwise no, not everyone filled themselves these loot orgies and there is no reason to punish everyone because they didn't fix a bug that was reported several times on the EXP forums during .50 testing.
-
I just wish they would make up their minds already. Wearing the same gear I had in .49 would kill me from over heating. I know, it's "alpha" but this system really needs to be worked up.
-
I found an AK74U for a friend the other day and since then we have spent several hours searching and have not seen a single mag for it.
-
When will real ballistics and penetration be implemented ?
Briljin replied to anotherdeadhero's topic in General Discussion
This! We don't need a fiery ball of death to destroy a vehicle, taking out it's engine or other critical components would result in the same thing. It's not like we have access to full functional garages and an endless supply of parts. -
Not really, they will just use that back pack full of guns and ammo to kill people who's back packs are filled with just food because they couldn't find a gun :) The game needed to be made more difficult but .50 took it a step too far. Well honestly we really can't tell because loot respawn is, well saying it is broken would actually be an insult to "broken" features...

Will persistence be on by default after wednesday's stable patch
Briljin replied to theirongiant's topic in General Discussion
I hope not because it clearly still not working correctly. -
They are insanely rare when compared to the AKM mags. Hell in the last couple of days I have replaced the 5 AKM mags I was carrying with 2 drums. I have yet to see a 101 mag. Sucks because I want to switch to a 101 I have stashed but I just can not find mags (loads of 5.56 ammo).

fire adveture is stop before finish
Briljin replied to Shrub Rocketeer ™'s topic in General Discussion
God yes, right now the bloody thing is nearly worthless as it stands. It would also be really nice if you could see the server information from in game as well. -
That would required the Exp servers to actually be working first :(
-
Yeah, if you want PvP you should be hitting up the major cities but just expect to encounter hackers. I was watching a twitch stream the other night of some PvP in Electro and they encountered a hacker who could force them to "shoulder" their weapons if inside a certain range. Plus he had the ESP hack as he was telling them were his team mate was at, without having to look for him.
-
Well technically neither does the "spinal" damage either, because it depends upon you actually being hit in a certain way. Which could be completely avoidable by staying away from zeds or other players to deal with. As I said, unless you are living the life of a hermit we already have enough ways to die without this one.
-
Talk about a horrible excuse of a broken game mechanic? Anyone actively playing this game and not living as a complete hermit off in some distant corner of the map on a single digit population server understands that their demise could be around the very next corner. If not from the a bug, the environment, a zed then you have to contend with your fellow players. We don't know a poorly implemented game mechanic to ensure our demise is coming...

Is This A Mechanic Or A Bug? Bone Condition Death...
Briljin replied to jacobahalls's topic in General Discussion
In a world where one can completely heal broken bones instantly with a simple splint or recover from near death in 20 minutes of being fully healed and hydrated, this mechanic makes no sense and should be removed. Hopefully it was just something left over that fell through code reviews and not an intended "feature".. -
Persistence Enabled vs Persistence Disabled [OPTING IN/OUT]
Briljin replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I am fine with loot being more scarce than in the past but the current system is bunkers. The military outpost and AFs should be a clearing defined region strictly segregated from surrounding regions. No one is going to spend hours loot nearby cities in the hopes they can game they system into spawning loot at a military output. Hell by that logic these towns should be spawning military loot, after all they are apparently impacting such areas. Yes it's "alpha" and they are "working" upon it but clearly the current system needs a lot more work.
