Be sure and listen to Rocketman by Elton John while watching the latest SpaceX liftoff...

Well, here's some news. I read recently from a modder that Vehicles count as projectiles in the engine. So we're riding around in bullets. With the same physics.... Let that soak in when considering how terrible cars perform.

Cars are a necessary component to the game. They bothered to program them, put the models in the game and write scripts for interaction. I have no scientific basis for stating the following just my own opinion based on all of the research I am doing on Youtube, but f I'd say at minimum 15 to 20 new videos are born on Youtube daily showcasing how shitty cars are. That number could potentially be higher as I recently discovered some PS4 players don't bother to name their videos and just upload their raw stream.

I actually played on two different roleplay servers that had decent rules. I understand to a point, and yes, to each their own, but if you put it out there for the world to see someone is always going to ask what's the point and why would you do this. Again, not the point of this thread, but something that crossed my mind this morning. Back to Vehicle BS... Imagine you jump onto a bucking bronco....

So we celebrate a birthday virtually through a game designed around the Infected Apocalypse with Japanese Manga characters. I'm not defining what DayZ is, I'm asking what's the point in relation to WHAT it is. There's a difference.

Wrong! The video was made July 23, 2021. Try again.

Paraphrasing Ian Malcolm from Jurrasic Park... "Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD!"

Not to hijack my own thread, but can someone explain to me what people get out of this? I mean there are games and worlds MADE for this kind of activity, but NOT THIS GAME. I've managed to stomach two roleplay servers with some decent rules for killing yet allow interactions, BUT THIS??!?? Is on a whole other level.

Relax, enjoy the game.... This is supposed to happen.

Why BI.... just why?

I remember when there were invisible objects in the roads that would completely ruin your vehicle. The road from the west to Pushtoska on Chernarus was notorious for ruining vehicles. I don't know what happened here..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wswYaJbjzpM

GREAT POINT! Call Musk, Bezos, and Branson and notify them they should fire all of their engineers and hire BI. They have the skillz to make it happen.

Imagine hitting a curb like in the second half of this video, and your vehicle suddenly becoming a rocket ship... I guess it's still working as intended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6lSwA4D2Cw

Is this right? If you drive a vehicle in the debug zone it insta kills you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rez2nDaKXlI

Nevermind

It's not just cars that are glitchy....the trucks don't want to be left out of the fun.....

Bohemia Interactive just announced A NEW VEHICLE FOR DAYZ... CHECK IT OUT! Too Soon?

Speaking of luck... both bad and good. Check this out! This guys had bad luck with the car he is in... that's to be expected. But what luck he had rolling out of the way of the car as it tried to come back and murder him. WOW!

You mean like this? That is the current state of vehicles on console. This video is two years old, but is still valid as nothing has changed.

You may be right. Apparently you can't even drive over railroad tracks without becoming an astronaut. Thanks BI!

It's not new, and getting them fixed should be a much higher priority. That is the argument. The devs say they know, and have even said we tried, but the game was released with broken vehicles. I want new players or potential new players to know that aside from the fact the game is STILL a running simulator they should not depend on vehicles, and should really consider buying a half-finished game. And yes, I consider Vehicles so necessary in this game that in their current state, it's half finished. Knowing what I know now about how the game was developed and the fact that it's still got major bugs and glitches, I wouldn't buy it. And don't get me wrong, I love this game. I own two accounts on PC plus bought it for my son on Xbox. I just want a playable game with as few bugs and glitches as popssible. Which should have been the goal before releasing, but that fat console paycheck couldn't wait and this is what BI has to show for it. A great IP with "less than desired" implementation. That's unacceptable to me. I have thousand of hours in this game, I pretty much play it exclusively but I just want it to work and I want others to know EXACTLY how this game behaves in it's current state. I intend to keep this issue pushed on this forum EVERY DAY until it's fixed.

It's amazing the level of detail they have gone through with their physics system. A car that is in resting motion can suddenly barrel roll simply by attaching or detaching a component... that is so GENIUS! Amazing work guys! True to life even! WOW! Also, that guy likely might have been a duper (look at the number of magazines he had on him), so maybe since Battleye doesn't do shit for cheaters, this is how the devs plan to handle it going forward.

Sounds like Role Playing, and to that I say to each his own.

Not taking up for China, but Tencent has made inroads into stopping cheating... especially when it affects their bottom line.... how Capitalist of them.... https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56579449 If I were BI, I'd put in a TON of resources into figuring out how to detect if a user was using ESP. That is the number one cheat in DayZ and other online FPS games like RUST, Valorent, Tarkov, COD. Hell, if Battleye was serious, they could offer a reward for anyone that can produce a way for them to detect ESP, that would have to worth at least a well paid full time job just doing nothing but detecting ESP. That's how AnarchyHD catches cheaters, he shadows them, and can clearly tell they are cheating by how they play the game. He makes himself invisible and hides in walls or in places where cheaters can't see him and they still try to hunt him and shoot him. Because through ESP they see him on the map or maybe even a stick figure of him behind walls and such, so they know his exact position. We know "sanity checks" don't work as cheaters still move at incredible speeds on the map. DayZ is not the only game suffering from cheating, but I can't remember when the last time I've seen a Battleye update.

Don't worry, it won't last long.
