Remember when one bullet killed you?
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Rick I hope you do realize that the plate carrier pretty much does nothing? as does the press vest. Its fucked. -
I dont know why you can get performance drops? I put my config files on read only and thus always have the exact same settings no matter what patch. 58 actually gave a decent boost in performance for me because of the complete abundance of Zs and a lot less items in cities I assume.
-
Plenty of people seem to wield it, has it gotten any love this patch (supposedly its recoil has been tweaked, whatever that means - hopefully it was lowered)? Couldnt get my hands on one personally as of yet.
-
Tehcnically yes, realistically no. The bullet drop of the SKS rounds goes nuts at about 300meters and since zeroing is limited to 100m steps, anything in between those numbers gets quite harder to hit and if in cover, nearly impossible. Anyway the 200m were a suggestion since the AKM was such a fucking beast in the PRE-57 era, that there has to be some kind of weakness to it. So I am suggesting nerfing the dispersion quite a bit but in return normalize the recoil again, because the recoil as of 57 was outrageously retarded. Way too high.
-
Maybe, but that was not for debate. Everything else you said about buttstocks and handguards is plain wrong.
-
No it doesnt affect the recoil.. when 55 came out I had an M4 with no attachments and it still worked exactly like before. All that attachments do is add a little multiplier to dispersion aka lowering it by x amount. Dispersion is not the same as recoil. Lower dispersion means you have a longer accurate range. Go fire an AK with or without buttstock, it will not affect the recoil in the slightest. Aks are perfectly usable without buttstocks actually, which isnt all that realistic.
-
I made a fireplace at night, then everything goes black?
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to Mark88's topic in General Discussion
Its cool tho, you can place fireplaces in front of entrances and anyone entering will be blinded -
Attachments dont reduce the recoil of guns.. The problem with the recoil nerf of 57 for the AKM was that it was way too hard to land follow up shots even on 20-50m distances because a single shot just kicks up way too much. Meanwhile you can easily handle the other ak variants on full auto. I agree the AKM should not be the beast it used to be in the pre-57 era, but it should also not be the useless piece of crap it is now. The recoil easily got doubled in just one patch and thats not realistic nor a good way to balance things. Like I said, my suggestion would be toning down the recoil once again and reducing dispersion a little.
-
It was and then they increased the recoil so much in 57 that it became completely unusable beyond 5 meter distance. So yes, it does need some love. Its really hard to balance that gun, but making it nearly unusable isnt a solution either. I rather have them increase rarity and return usability closer to previous states again. Possibly lower the recoil again but nerf dispersion a little more so it really does stay in the 200m effective range.

Server hosts resetting persistence- whenever they feel like it.
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to eno's topic in General Discussion
You guys might like my mates new server. Its a private password PVE server with roleplay and limited PVP in military regions. not many people online because of that tho. If you guys want to just roll around freely/ experiment without having to worry about anything mostly, I can hit you up with the server. certainly he wont reset persistence, but of course player interaction will be rather sparse there because of the low player numbers. -
A boar pelt if possible or a barrel or tent :D Looking for boars, SVD and AKM+mags Willing to organize pretty much everything for you in return

Improvised camo backpack + color variations of the Plate carrier
jayfkay (DayZ) posted a topic in Suggestions
It would be quite easy to color a burlap sack in realistic circumstances, so why not allow us to do so? Then combine the imrpovised backpack with netting! The result would look like this, but obviously much smaller. Also the plate carrier should come in at least one more variant, especially when it will actually be working as protection some day! They literally exist in dozens of variations, so it is kind of confusing as to why we only get the desert variant. This will give players additional tactical options. -
The ak is fantastic. Which version did you have? Was it an AKM?`Really curious if they fixed the recoil which they tweaked according to changelogs.
-
it can get pretty bad rather quick, but usually just removing one backpack or some gear and reconnecitng helps a lot
-
I get a lot better fps in cities. I accredit that to the nonexistant zombies and the sparse loot. Other than that I planned nolifing the patch, but will be on standby until persistence is working well again. edit: Again I am up to trade nearly anything in the game for a Boar pelt. PM me if you need anything, we'll figure it out.

Playing .58 stable...full server...where is everyone?
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to vfxtodd's topic in General Discussion
edit: nvm thats the whole point of 58! EVERYONE'S up north :D -
Ok, so all that seems to happen in this patch...
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to Shiva_O's topic in General Discussion
all that seems to happen is everyone owns a server and exploits the airfield spawn points kicking everyone off :P -
Call me a fan boy if you will, but I'm pumped!
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
I am even more hyped for 59 now. The 58 gameplay combined with my mates having a limousine to pick me up at 140km/h if needed, cant get any better than that :P -
Let me save you a headache and tell you where to NOT setup camp
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
several pinetrees stuck to each other in a flat area that has low amount of trespassing. thats literalyl the only fucking way to have a camp.. or rather, stash. that and barrels in toilets :D -
I reckon Brian Hicks said any kind of map expansion is "currently not planned", meaning its likely NEVER gonna come from the side of the developers. They have their hands full with lots of sthit, so realistically speaking even if they would touch that, it would probably be late 2016-2017 music. Expect drastic map alterations to be purely a product of modders by the time the game is ready for mod tools.
-
damn, a gunrange would indeed be an awesome addition to the map. I wonder where it would fit. more to the north or more to the center of the map?
-
Its not gonna happen, nor is anything sleeve, hood or pants tucking in boots kinda stuff. They said its too much work for too little gain and its true. I miss the tucked in boots tho.. woud be sweet especially with the new UMSC pants.
-
Absolutely unthinkable, having engine limitations as well as development priorities in mind. In words of Hicks/Eugene: too much work for too little gain.
