Zed's Dead

My apologies. I guess I know nothing about this stuff.

I also disagree. In economics it is agreed upon that there is a top level of skilled people in their field. That is why NFL players or top musicians can make obscene pay. Because their skills are scarce. Somewhere in korea, japan, uk, etc...there are people brighter or faster than me that can solve problems quicker. So it is possible to take part of the millions in Dayz sales and recruit the brightest talent who could fast track the game. But they have every right not to seek out and pay them.

We are running 25 mph? I dont think so. And we want bikes because 1. They wont need parts like a car, and 2. It may be easier to make for the alpha so we can get it before 2015.

Sorry I didnt explain that you take money and buy more help with it. I will try to be more specific next time.

To our horror, more maps probably means more desync.

Thanks. I will find an attachment for my akm and find out.

I heard you can add bipod to AKM. Which attachment is needed because my AKM will not accept a bipod? Thanks in advance and love the community. Appreciate the good discussions even though we may not always agree.

Sorry, i didnt realize the link to wiki.

OK, thanks. any name of that by chance?

Ah, OK. And the current bipod setup with AKM or M4 still has the total new sway I assume?

That sounds more correct, thanks Gibonez. I have to expect that in the final version of the game, they will make being prone with bipod zero sway. I'm willing to wait for them to fix it. Earlier, I was just wondering if there was a connection to adding more sway, and then deleting the bipod for the mosin because they didn't have time to make the bipod stop the new sway. I could still be right about that and they just simply forgot to delete the bipod from working on the M4 and AKM. So now, it appears the bipod is broken on M4 and AKM, (assuming you still sway even with it deployed and prone). they should either fix the bipod, or delete it. It's causing a lot of confusion.

Well, shit, that is annoying that the bipod never visually reduced sway. I never noticed that before. Are you sure about that because I don't remember sway when I sniped using the mosin with bipod before. So not only are silencers broken, but bipods never eliminated sway even if you are prone? Boy I guess all of this stuff really is a placeholder. For God's sake, when we will see items that work? I would actually be less frustrated even they never added more items to the patches and simply worked on the game for 8 months or more and then only released patches if they actually made things work or if they actually fixed things. (So I am very excited about this next patch that fixes some of the zombie collision, this will be the first patch that really addresses and a big problem) Very happy about that.

Good point. And this helps explain why we have 12 new guns but they have not been able to fix any of the silencers that are still broken. All of the additions to Dayz are mostly from art.... very little programming. But doesn't that worry anyone that very little programming has been done?

Fair enough guys. Over the next 8 months, we hopefully will see some improvements in the core. I'm excited about the possible zombie collision fix. That brings good news. We can definitely wait for vehicles if the zombies are fixed and increased in the meantime.

Then why have they put hundreds and hundreds of man hours into drawing new gun, after gun, after gun and threw them in all the last patches of the last 7 months?

LOL. Then what are they doing with 50 million dollars in sales?

True, but let me ask, please..... When you go prone with the AKM or M4 and the bipod is deployed.... does the sway stop at this time (in this patch)? Or is there still sway unless you hold your breath. Because I guess it doesn't really matter than if bipods don't stop the increased sway they introduced anyways.

OK, I see. I didn't realize they left the bipod for other rifles. Why the hell did they do that? I still don't understand why they went out of their way to make using a bipod on the mosin, which could eliminate sway, impossible for now. So does sway really stop on the AKM or M4A1 if you are prone with bipod deployed, or is that broken?

Wait... Im confused. How is this more realistic that it is now imposible to stop sway because going prone with a bipod on mosin has been removed from the game? I believe that since they added sway, they simply didnt want to code the bipod to remove sway so they simply eliminated the bipod for mosin. Isnt that the more likely answer? Why else did they add sway and remove bipod at same time?

Not one of those links explain why the game creators refuse to spawn simple bicycles that would realistically exist on the real world, be ready to use and easy to maintain, and be very useful and appreciated by the dayz player. Why have they not given us bikes while they work on the harder stuff?

I have a question.... Did they remove bipod from mosin because they did not have time to figure how to stop the rifle sway they introduced? Thats the most frustrating thing. The very patch they add more sway, they also make it impossible to use a bipod which should eliminate sway. Has no one else asked about this irony?

Good point. I agree. Yes there are good reasons why no vehicles yet, but I feel many people are quick to defend the developer for any shortfalls without good discussions. But in the caseof vehicles, since the game core is still so bad, vehicles cant work yet. So we Should discuss why is the core still so bad.

Its cool to gang up on anyone who simply asks when SA will have something the mod implemented 2 years ago. Real constructive guys. Hell lets make it even better, lets start ganging up on people that ask for less desync and hit detection problems too. Why stop at just hating on vehicles? I got first dibs on making fun of the next DayZ customer who complains about hackers too. Is that towing the line enough for us here? Lets have honest and open discussions without fanatical one sidedness. We are all DayZ supporters afterall.

What do you mean? Logically speaking there is more evidence of facts to have fear than to feel positive about the games potential completetion. If within the last seven months we saw at least one major problem fixed than there would still be much more to fear.

I think it is so absurd for guns to be found with no mags. That is very unrealistic.
