strongly agreed on the melee part. this is the key question that should be asked with most things in Dayz from a game design perspective.

first off whats with the semicolons secondly what the fuck?

lol so many trolls bitching and whining instead of adapting. Again: There is no middleground to be had: it is either full black or gamma "abusable". People were bitching about gamma abuse, now this is what you got.

Getting lost is fun.

There is no middleground to be had: it is either full black or gamma "abusable". People were bitching about gamma abuse, now this is what you got. Even in Rust, when every asset and everything was pithc black, there was some sort of nvidia color tweak allowing for vision, so Bohemia added noise on top. I think I agree with @IMT it's been hella atmospheric, ya'll need to stop whining. They only need to buff light sources.

imo no need to hoard anything on current stable patch, everything is available plentiful. doubt it will change with "1.0" either unless they surprise add a ton of stuff back.

Building bases on private hives.

you have to hold R key.

We all know a real 1.0 is many months away. 2019 is the real year of dayz, and then we will get the real 1.0, no matter what they call it.

I was already voicing the exact thoughts 1 or 2 years ago when basebuilding was announced. Noone wanted to talk about it. It's a nice timekiller I suppose, but it will never be as effective as a hidden barrel, treasure box or second account (the last one being the .. ahem... unmanliest option). For me what would make dayz interesting longterm is only chase items, such as very rare weapons from random events like helicrashes. That and survival, raw survival. Like, actual reasons to go X places, say because only in X place you can find Y item. Your own story. In the current state of the game, even when I try hard to have a spontaneous adventure, it is always the same: run towards NWAF and get military gear, becasue nothing else works or has a purpose right now. I think the question of "lategame" and meta is one the devs themselves have struggled to or entirely failed to answer themselves, at least in my opinion. You could see the uncertainty when Brian Hicks was still on the project and talking, with utmost uncertainty and very wagely, about changing the spawn system around or creating/adapting things from a game like Rust, which nails the whole longevity/persistence part. Now obviously they can't add sleeping bags to Dayz so that is out of question. Ultimately, the possible playstyles are very nuanced, but don't differ much from each other. You can be a hunter survivalist, but it is not necessary. In the end it is always run inlands, get geared, die eventually.

bleeding from hit areas is already a thing (got shot in the foot and bled from it), however bandies work like a plug in the bathtub; area specific bandies are post 1.0 stuff I think.

Speaking of submachine guns: The mp5k in the game is supposed to fire at 900 freedoms per minute, but it feels lower now? here is how it used to be, full clip at 3:55.

could be simplified once again. could be the output is simply not there. the standing of the video is also that you cannot kill a player even with a 100 shots to the leg. I am not sure that is the case anymore. Probably I will just shoot myself in the leg next time I find a pistol to find out. edit: went prone, shot at my own legs, bullet went thru. test needs 2 subjects. edit v2: yellow health after 4 shots in the foot. dead after ~3-4 shots to the leg from full health. weapon: mp5, point blank range.

old thread but have you even watched wobos last video? shots to vital organs or head are the only way to kill a player right now and each organ has its own health stat. that is if the video is still uptodate at least.

It used to be that you can knock a palyer unconscious with a single well aimed punch to the face, or kill them with a single axe swing to the face. I loved it. They really need to make it like before where you can move while swinging and adjust for deadly "headshots" again, then it would be good. Getting stuck in a swinging animation or stunlocked is not fun indeed.

I am not mad nor agree with what you say, but I have to say, I cannot wait for all those things to come (back).

Someone recently said the designers and modellers are working on other projects within bohemia now... So, no more new clothing items, tents, melee weapons, guns? What we got so far is all we get (yes, I am aware a bunch of items have been announced but haven't made it yet)? To be honest, I really always loved the individualization in dayz (as do all of you prob), so that's a bummer. Always looked forward to more of everything.

What part of my post did you not understand weyland? Maybe I can clear up the confusion :)

the refund policy of steam is pretty clear. you can refund within 2 weeks as long as less than 2 hours played. :)

just enjoy and discover everything for yourself. don't use the map, there have been changes, discover them yourself :) just one thing, find food and water as soon as you spawn or you won't make it far.

As soon as I spawned, I had to sneak aorund (as in, literally crouch by infected to not get spotted) or run away most of the time. Forgot to take pictures of that phase, but here goes. https://imgur.com/a/pGy

Ah okay, sorry for misunderstanding. I had read the tweet and got a wrong impression. Still we don't know whether we will get any new items after currently missing ones are fully implemented.

I wish I could find it again. Read somewhere here in the forum within the last 3 or so days. Not just that, but also it was paraphrased (in an announcement I think?) that those graphic designers/ modellers /whatever are just helping with configuration of graphics now, which implies they aren't on the project full time anymore. Then what pilgrim said. Then the fact that there wasn't any new item in well over a year or so. edit: I slightly missunderstood this tweet

Well, I hope! As iirc there hasn't been a new item revealed in a year or so.

Well, wrong. If you face 3 or more at once, it only takes them about 3 simultaneous swings to kill you. They may stunlock you (pretty annoying "feature" with the animations) and one hit deals 10% of your HP according to Wobo, which seems to check out from my suicides to infected. Not to mention instead of giving you a little annoying bleed they just straight up damage your clothes with each hit, more often than not a single hit degraded my clothing by one state.
