    DayZ | +45 QoL suggestions | Part 2

    drawing the weapon is an entirely different story. there is nothing wrong with the current ADS animation in my eyes. I have shot guns in service, handled guns for sport shooting and played with toy guns. Raising your gun and aiming that fast is absolutely doable. even faster is doable, too. slower ADSing will just A. make the game feel clunkier and B. give further advantage to a defending/holding player, of which they already naturally have plenty of and gained even more with the addition of bullet stun locks. in a game where you might lose hours/days of progress upon death I especially see no reason to slow ADS down. When your life is on the line you wont take long to raise the one tool that will guarantee your survival - unless you are sleep deprived and starving perhaps.

    DayZ | +45 QoL suggestions | Part 2

    some good suggestions but 19) bleeding: I think this might already exist. I once lost like a thousand blood in no time after getting melee'd. 22) disease indicator: no thank you, we dont need an easy game to be easier. figuring out what symptoms you have and then finding a cure is part of the fun. this is a non-issue for anyone that played the game for a while. 24) make ads slower: fuck you

    Improve the gamma/brightness curve

    heh I thought I was the only one. Yeah, this happens to me sometimes. I notice right away because the game is pretty dark when it happens. I also figured out the antialiasing trick. But yeah, I wouldn't call it "decent". A single tick over the default 50% adds what looks like a white fog. It might be due to the HDR, but it's definitely not pretty or even useful for me.
  4. Currently, increasing your brightness even marginally over 50% results in a layer of "white fog" hovering over the game, making it look significantly worse and washed out. I am not sure this is by design or simply due to a poorly configured gamma curve, I'd guess the latter tho. As such I would like to suggest a more balanced curve so that upping one's brightness simply lights up the image instead of making it look horribly washed out. This is possible with Reshade (the older version at least) or nvidia, but why force people to use external programs? A properly useable brightness/gamma setting should be standard.

    Improve the gamma/brightness curve

    I am and it's awful.. you can't use more than 50-55% or the image is fucked. It's annoying because now I have to go out of my way to have the brightness I like in Dayz via external methods.

    Improve the gamma/brightness curve

    i dont remember them ruining gamma as a "fix", as far as I know it was the new renderer that allowed fully dark nights. and given that nights can no longer be "abused" right now, why should gamma still be "bad"?

    Improve the gamma/brightness curve

    Ah, so that's why you think this is funny. In your mind increasing brightness is "abuse" and a functioning brightness setting is cheating and I am "one of those abusing idiots". Completely misguided. 😐 The only "abuse" that was occuring was when people could see everything at nighttime, which cannot be fixed by changing gamma, but requires a new rendering technique, which they implemented. This has nothing to do with having a working brightness setting which would make the regular daytime scenery brighter. Some people have darker monitors or prefer their games to look bright. Why force people to use external methods (of which there is several that work...) to have decent brightness? This is a very reasonable and civil request.

  9. Hey so currently if you shoot an AKM the behavior while fully auto is pretty realistic, bullets go where you aim in a cone, but there is plenty of kick horizontal and vertical.same with M4. FAL and UMP on the other hand, the bullets just go anywhere BUT the crosshair when you full auto, including wierd pseudo csgo recoil patterns. I believe all guns should act like the AKM but the only difference should be strenth and severity of recoil. it just seems entirely pointless to have a full auto function otherwise, its unreliable and makes for dogshit gameplay where winning a CQB fight comes down to just luck and nothing else. does anyone know how this is controlled in the configuration and if its possible to have spray behaviour like the AKM but with more recoil on top, as to make it harder to control (similar to older versions like 0.54)? I assume it's the dispersion stat? or is it hardcored behaviour that can't be modded and depends on the base gun you choose for your modded weapon? Would greatly appreciate some enlightenment also paging @-Gews- you would probaybly know all about this. I was planning to ask you in private but your PMs are closed 😭
  10. I just wanna hear who shot me, with what and from where before I die at least, it would just be so much better and more realistic if it's a bodyshot and most kills are bodyshots.
  11. instead you slowly fade out 1-2s and it gives potential for one last interaction headshots however are still instant blackscreen
  12. I was thinking more along the lines of telling the killer to go fuck himself

    Reshade disabled?

    Yes, maybe it's other factors, as I changed nvidia drivers recently too. Either way, the newer Reshade has more options and seems to work a bit smoother in general. I made in inquiry with battle eye now.

    Reshade disabled?

    Works for me in offline mode, but trying to join a server gives this error: So I guess they disabled it?

    Infected behaviour

    ehhhh thats emergent gameplay tho. if someone alerts zombies with a gunshot and you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, thats your problem. I agree the magnetism is very stupid tho, zombies should always target the nearest player. The only way you can divert aggro is by literally touching the other player.
  16. Screenshot taken at ~13:00 o clock mid day, no overcast, no wind. Top looks like the sun emits grey light. Theres a permanent grey shade. Bottom is only achievable in offline mode with Reshade. Is my TN playing tricks on me or does the current lighting leave a lot to be desired?
  17. Buakaw

    Should lighting be adjusted?

    also this hurts who even CARES that you can turn up gamma, it looks amazing.

    Should lighting be adjusted?

    I really miss the old, brownish/red color scheme of Chernarus. Looked bleak, yet somehow inviting and beautiful. Looks like they turned exposure/gamma to 0 and forgot to turn it up again. @William Sternritter the new renderer added HDR. Where do you think the bright white fog everywhere comes from? Also my 5 minute reshade edit looks very close to Gews Arma 2 screenshots.. so what's your point? Never stated it was perfect. I'd sure take it over what currently looks like the sun emits grey light tho. Here are some more screenshots I found 1.07 0.63 https://feedback.bistudio.com/T149799

    After the 1.11 Update My Character Deleted!

    Did you play on empty servers or sit in a bush the entire time?

    Should lighting be adjusted?

    does that mean you surrendered the idea of the game changing positively?
  21. Buakaw

    Reshade disabled?

    cheers, I'll try it edit: thats a shame. over 10% performance loss with that version while the new version wasn't even noticeable and has a few more shaders to choose from. why are they blocking the newest version but not the older one?
  22. Buakaw

    No ADS sensitivity setting?

    It's fine for rifles but with scopes it's horribly low. That's why there has to be an ADS slider
