The Melee combat....Worst shit i have seen in any game.
sneakydude replied to Evilsausage's topic in General Discussion
Yup I agree with you, I am really into seeing it like M&B I have those games and love them. I also have chivalry and it played very nice (mind you I didn't get to deep into it) the game was dead when I bought it online. Hack and slash means just that, and we have seen MMO games PVP that give us all the hack and slash we need. It needs to be followed up if Bohemia plans to move forward to different games in the future. It is 150% important they nail this down. -
I could not agree more, the one thing is the drop down menus slip off and you have to tab re do it again.

I found a bunch in sheds out of the cities. Deeper into the center of the map. What I am looking for is a scope for the 22 rifle. I have just gotten the styr aug but the scope is really what I was after. Deer stands? towers? still the locations? thanks

I kind of like this, added more scare to the game instead of looking for players constantly with P. It was a cheat anyways, to stalk someone. P is unrealistic in a real world, considering you have no power for the internet =P

I think once you guys get down to the UI, syncing with the controls the Melee might fall in place. What I mean, is when you select your hotbar.... say #1 for your primary the animation is so slow and clunky. You stop moving your legs, pausing up so if you need to cancel the selection it doesn't always work. Your still frozen in time. I would rather have fast reactions from the keyboard to the character instead of locking the animation in. I think the game mount and blade also has the same clunky UI at times switching into combat. I have it all 3 of them, and love it. I wish I could program the RTG into Total war with first player combat included. So much fun that would be. What plans are in place to change, or fix the Animations of the character if any? Its looking rather nice the game. A few bugs I noticed but on the upper scale its coming along great. Edit = Please add the possible auto selection from the UI adding in your current primary weapon into slots 1, and the melee weapon in slots 2. If you need more added to the hotbar or changes you do it yourself. We need a save feature, even if it is painted. It keeps swapping the item out completely leaving you in that stuck animation. I think we all tend to slam the keyboard when that happens. -
Almost every house outside of the coastal cities had good loot. Guns, ammo etc.. Even in the city I decked out this morning. Happy Canada day folks, and 4th of July!!!! I am not sure where you say we have no loot? must be a 50 50 server your playing on and everyone looted it prior. My experience was great. Few bugs, but over all as a freshy I almost am decked out in ammo, guns etc.. some food... water is easy to spam. If your not using izurvive.com then your not doing it right.

SO true mookie so true. I still have the odd dream though, but it is not dayz, it is of our own North America. (probably due to never being able to leave North America) and never seeing the rest of the world.

I wanted to re phrase this whole thing. The base game is being d eveloped, which includes the assets and all the survival assets they can think of at this time. With enough input, and trust me if enough people want things they will look into it. If it is something they can do in a time frame it will be added to the base game. Later on, they will listen to our modding requests, and have the assets added for it. DLC packs etc.. if it goes that way. We do need the ability to make "how we feel the world" should be on our server. If it is different from the original base game you see on hosted original game servers it is your choice to play there or not. The rest will have their version of the world. As a server admin, and modder (Scripter) I found it very important to listen to the people connecting and look for ways to add in new content or design a system around it. Arma 3 would not be what it is today without Arma 2 mods, and the massive Arma 3 mods. Now you look at game mods like exile which is rather fun, minus the default ways the mod is. You do have the ability to change things as a scripter etc.. So the possibilities are there to make the survival game you want. If its hunting, scavenging, planting, and house building that you want, it can be done. I just had to put that out there for people that have never knew what the base game offers us. The default base game will only be so much what you want because it has to offer everything to the mass people that purchased it. If I had my own way? I would have .22, shotguns, pistols, some very rare military guns, and some short to mid range scoped guns. I would add in some survival things such as planting crops, building houses/bases, and base survival things. I would make it into a conquest type map, where as clans fight others and rob them blind. Take a look at the TV series http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2070791/?ref_=ext_shr_eml_vi_tt_ov_vi#lb-vi3160254745 This is best to explain the way I would do it.

I have to agree with eno on this. After a length of time you have no choice but to hunt, fish, plant etc..

So halfway through the game you just up the system requirements?
sneakydude replied to DukeHenry's topic in General Discussion
No my gt 780ti sc is now 4 years old, still top end card. It was a special build by mistake why it was so hard to buy. Now users today should think about a 4 year old i7-i5 and purchase the 760ti 4gb card or better with about 16gb of memory. you can find used towers s1156-s1155-s1150 out there for little to nothing dollars and beef them up. Do not get one that has 4gb of ddr2, but ddr 3 16gb support even first gen due to the restrictions of memory changes in the stores. video cards are very robust. I am telling you guys I have 3 i7 towers in the office here and all play new games well. s1155-s1156-and s1150 i7 towers. you just need good graphics cards like the 760gtx ti or better. 300 bucks for a video card vrs my 900 one at the time is a steal for the top end cards. Systems with core 2 duo, and i3 older gens play games like crap, usually have. If you cant afford to purchase a new one spec out used ones, and compare builds of 2 years or less for a few hundred dollars. Most people are afraid to ask system builders and gamers what is good and what isn't on the market. anything less then i5-i7 16gb ddr3, towers are asking for problems. sata 3 drives are fine, and can be upgraded to ssd drives cheaply. video cards on the other hand will be costly. 300 dollar range for a card that will last for a few years. You do not need to spend 900 on a video card. Research it, that is free. -
First time logged in in many months, and right away I found food in clothing, ammo, and guns even a .22 with a .50 mag. All was good on fresh spawn.

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/midlow_range_gpus.html low end card bud, time to update it. -
The UI got nerfed too, wish I could go backwards. The items are spawning inside clothing, and it is very easy to find ammo, guns at your startup location. I just logged in after a few months. Lots has changes for sure. and for some reason the 3rd person wasn't working for me today.

They need to reduce the hit boxes, not 1-2 leads ahead. -
Mini Game Scenarios rather than just Open World PVP
sneakydude replied to DR. IRISHMIKE's topic in General Discussion
Yes I would never give out your master hive connection info, as you need to transfer items, or possible spawn locations to events between your setup groups. For instance, setup a camp. Put a bunch of guys in there and 1 hostage. Players need to raid the base to save the hostage, export him to a different location, all while ambushes are setup In the forest. You really need to hop between your master and public (private) hive to do this. Only your group should do so, that way the events stay clean. -
Nice job, would be great if you enabled shadowplay for us :)

sneakydude replied to DR. IRISHMIKE's topic in General Discussion
Without reading all of this... ClanZ supports these server events! I recommend a master hive, and a public hive hooked together so you can arrange your gears, stockpile and prepare for the hive jumps to the location where need be. Its almost impossible to do this openly on one server, as players tend to grief you. Downfall is it costs much more to do this monthly. ClanZ had this option available to us and know its potential at that time. We no longer host it, as the development had taken a spiral at that time. Good luck fella's and if you see some <Z> guys watchout! eheh -
Since it isn't a factor of money, and we have a new base engine. I would estimate it being q2-4 of 2017 and we may just start to enter beta. I know more is being improved on, and i dont want to agree with elander's last statement here, in hopes that it moves forward. but...... we will see, when we see.

DayZ Standalone Base Building is almost here! How do you plan to use it?
sneakydude replied to DR. IRISHMIKE's topic in General Discussion
Base building, i hope works but i have my doubts. It will be grief-ed unless we can be online to protect it. By the time you go around getting all the pieces you may have been already hijacked by a small group of players. Clan bases will be good, as long as they are online to defend them. So i am not to sure i really care about it. -
The Melee combat....Worst shit i have seen in any game.
sneakydude replied to Evilsausage's topic in General Discussion
Well at least you didn't put your hand in shit :) Yeah this melee is horrible, the hit boxes are way off no coding to offset the difference in lag. I thought the net coding was going to fix this part. Is Bohemia like codewarriors? where they train new and fresh programmers, graphic artists all the good stuff we see in dayz and arma? Dos netmech, mechwarrior 2 had better melee :) We are talking about in the early 90's -
Has anyone seen a Smersh Backpack in .60?
sneakydude replied to Schlake's topic in General Discussion
I have 5 did you want one? Meet me on the coast, if you see some guy lookout out of the apartment building.. that would be me. I usually wear a yellow raincoat, yellow hat and running shoes. DO not be surprised when i open my coat as i am Decked out! but i like to share -
About that much. .
