hemtek

Hello everyone. I'm sorry in advance for my bad english. My name is Hemtek and I play DayZ since 2015, I have about 2500 hours in the game. It's my most played game and obviously my favorite one. I have followed the ongoing development since I bought it and I had read all the status report back then. Since several updates, I felt a bit disappointed by the development of the game. The last updates brings some balance in base building and fireplaces, yeah thats cool but I think it's not the priority right now. The high priority for me is the damage system Pistols ammo ( 9mm, .380, .45 ) are useless and not worth it, I remember a time when you could kill a geared guy with just a chambered makarov, this is not possible nowadays and it's bad. AR ammo are the same ( 5.56, 7.62x39, 5.45x39 ) are exactly the same. Ballsitic helmet and plate carrier protects too much, You can hit a guy with a 7.62x39 in the head and he is still alive and running. Headshots should be always rewarded. Only mosin, shotguns and .308 guns are a viable choice in this game. Also animals are too much bullet resistant. Why not adding Stop power in the damage system for the pistols caliber: the ability to stun another player with your gun when players can be put in the ground by the force of the ammo. I agree that this ammo should be less deadly put they should have more shock damage. The deplacement in the game are too fast and not realistic but with the lacks of vehicle it's a bit understandable. Stamina should be 1.5x more. Talking about vehicle, where is the V3s and the bus? they were so much fun. The feature we need the most right now is Broken Bones. Even if you can't do what you wanted to do in the first place. If you add this like it was in the pre 0.62 update it would be enough because this is one of the best feature the game had back then. It's a msut have and should be the highest priority in the development of the game. You should also add Ragdoll in the game, I know it's not good for the server performance but it will add a lot of realism and also it will correct some issues with dead player falling throu walls etc... That it for now, maybe I will add some other thoughs I had in mind in this topic I hope I will be listened. Bye.

Hello ! I'm Hemtek, I have nearly 2000 hours in DayZ and I like to give you some of my suggestions about the new damage system in 0.63. First of all I think the new damage system is only great whne you are hit by a firearms in the belly, chest and head but what about the arms or the legs. When you are hit in the legs or arms you cannot die instantly even if you receive like 10 shot in the legs which is pretty realistic, I like the idea but after by exemple one mag of skorpion in the legs, I was still able to run. That's why it would be great to have a leg status and arm status ( like it was before in 0.62), an icon that will pop only when needed. like this for exemple: You got shot in the arm or you receive you've got hit by an axe ( or any melee weapon) in the arm, the icon with the yellow arm appear and that will increase your weapon sway when you are ADS. If you receive an other shot in arms ( or one shot but with a high caliber weapon) or an other melee hit, the icon will be red which mean you cannot ADS. You can do the same with legs: yellow status you are limping, red status you can only prone. I also think that melee weapon should do more damage. Let's take the axe for exemple: One hit in the head should be instant death. 2 or 3 hit in the chest should be enough kill someone. One charged hit ( shift + left click) in the chest should be instant death. Helmet and protective jacket like anti stab vest, riders jacket or plate carrier should provide you a protection against melee hit. Well I think that it for the moment, Sorry if my english is bad. See you in Chernarus.

Hello ! Here my stress test 0.63 video: I'm sure there is a lot of things I didn't try ( like prone animation) . enjoy

Hello Survivors ! This is my last video of Dayz. I loot Tisy base but I did not find anything good then I went to Stary Yar and found that camp... After the video I came back to the camp but I died by a third man. Thanks for watching ! Bye !

Good evening there ! Here's two other video I made. enjoy ! Thanks for watching !

Hello ! That truck kill is amazing ! I laugh out loud ! Great video as always PolishedGuy !

Real life looks better ! lol Great status reports ! looks like 0.62 is gonna be out in experimental very soon ! Keep up the great works !

Hello adam ! Is there any remake of the river of chernarus planned in future iterations ? I am very disappointed about the current river in the game so it will be great to have something really better ! Thanks for enhancing our sandbox ! ;) Bye !

Hello everyone !! I have two questions about future development of Dayz ! I was wondering with the new melle system you're gonna implement in the game if there is a way to add stabbing attack with a knife in the game ? It could be like being very close an other player with a knife allow to have an option to stab the player then you have to aim for the right spot to instant kill the player. anti stab vest can protect from that if the guy don't aim for other part of the body that is protected. it can also work against infected ! the other question is not related to this status report ! I'm asking if there is going to be a rework on the river in the map ? we know that forest vegetation and road are going to be reworked but river look pretty bad currently ! Bye keep up the great works devs !

Hello everyone ! I have though about a few new feature that can be added to vehicle ! I was thinking that it should easier to make a vehicle running but the maintenance shloud be harder ! Easier to run a vehicle: * I think glow and spark plugs should be deleted since it's unrealistic (you need more than one plug to run a vehicle) * vehicle shloud spawn with all the wheel ( in different condition) * Wheels should be interchangeable by example: hachback wheel should work on a sedan ( i have seen this in the walking dead) Maintenace of the vehicle: *vehicle should spawn with random gas tank contenance ( sometime empty) ( I remember in previous update that v3s spawn with a 20 L gas tank and finding gas to refull it was a good thing) *vehicle shloud spawn with random oil tank contenance ( but not empty ) that should filled before your vehicle break ! *Battery for vehicle should have a charge stat ( sometime near empty of power, sometimes full of power) and can be fillable with generator of other battery ( with tools) also you can see how the battery is charged with tool I think vehicle shloud spawn with an other part like a radiator that can break if you have an accident instead of the wheels ! maybe having a chassis stat of the vehicle that if the vehicle take too much damage it break ! Well that it ! take care of your vehicle !! lol Bye !

Hello ! nice advice Brian thank you ! I was able to place a fireplace in a little green house but not in the right place lol ! Bye ! keep up the good works !

Hello ! I love that you add more civilian weapons because I prefer civilian than military one ! I have some quetion: Which ammo this gun gonna use ? the pro and cons between this gun and the cr527 ? another question a bit offtopic sorry: Is the izh 18 will gonna have a scope attachable on it ? (like pistol scope of hunting scope) there is a rail on it so it should be possible ! thank you bye !

Hello everyone ! I'm French so I apologies in advance for my bad English ! I play Dayz since 0.51 and I love this game ! I follow the development of this game everyday ! This post will list all the idea that I have to make the game better in my opinion of course ! I will be inspired by my idea and idea from other player of course don't get mad about it ! First let's talk about the map: I think it will be a good idea if there are several map of Chernarus representing the 4 season of the year, it will be like Chernarus_autumn ( current map) Chernarus_winter, Chernarus_spring and Chernarus_summer ! I saw the video of CREDIDRED that talk about season and I think it's a great idea ! which vegetable you can grow , apple, berries will depend of the season you play ! Maybe some place like Tisy would be very cold in winter but spawning very good loot if you're not afraid of freezing and well prepared ( if the base is a contaminated area too it would be hardcore, I like that !) I play a little bit The Long Dark and this game have a lot idea, you can't make Dayz hardcore as The long Dark but some feature like melting snow, boiling water would be a good add for the winter survivor ! Animal will spawn differently depending of the season the map is, like lot of wolves in winter, lot of deer, boar (didn't see them since a while lol) in summer-autumn, bear (if they add them) will be in hibernation in winter something like that. with 0.60 It's rare that I see a survivor in Berezino( maybe the stat makes me lie but i'm sure it's less visited) maybe making the airfield of Krasnostav a lot more worthy with more military loot will be a good idea to balance the map or maybe making a unique and bigger police station that spawn good loot in Berezino ( weapons like Ak, sks will have a chance spawn there rarely) I know the dev want the military loot in the west side of the map but the east side of Chernarus need a little bit of attraction I think. I know that you can't make every place of Chernarus a attraction ( and it will be a bad idea) but you should sprayed it a little bit more. I think the map need bigger building with lot of room( like Miscreated, this game have very good looking interior compare to dayz IMO) and should look more like abandoned building ( the game is going that way with the ivy Overgrowth and it's cool) but I really think the interior need a rework ! House with persistent container was a good things in 0.59 but the feature disappear in 0.60 it's sad ! Let's talk about the loot: it is the most important thing in the game ! it need a lot of balance and rectification ! i think food should way more scarce but horticulture, fishing and cooking material should be less rare, make all the canned food spawn-able only in supermarket of the little selling house( if you know what I mean) and the canned drink near the vending machine in the hospital by example.... maybe making rice and milk spawn-able in other house less rarely but the need of cooking them with water should be an obligation ! by that fact survivor will be more present in big city that have supermarket and forced to cook there food if they want to survive outside the city ! Harvesting apple and berries should have another system maybe spawning of berries and apple near the tree or "searching for apple/berries" that can be done only a amount of time then you have to wait a certain time to do it again on the same tree but there is too much apple tree near Berezino for example. I will classify weapons depending of the location of which they spawn ! Police weapons, hunting weapons, civilian weapons and military weapons ! Police weapons are the makarov, cz 75, mp 133 shorty and classic, python, pm rak, scorpion, mp5k, rarely ak74,sks all of this should spawn in the police station and the police car along with black tactical and high capacity vest ,black boots and ammo for these gun ! Hunting weapons are winchester m70, cr527, izh18, izh 43, blaze 95, sporter .22, trumpet, mp133 classic, python, crossbow this gun should spawn in hunting location like the big hunting house with the little garage (more in this ), hunting stand ( lesser than the big house), little cabin( lesser than hunting stand) with the ammo for all this gun and hunting clothes, boots hunting vest etc...The civilian weapons is all the old weapon like mosin (rarely) p1 pistol, red9, glock with a small chance to have all the hunting weapons spawn-able in civilian area ( in house or car) Military tents and buildings should spawn all the AK, FN fal, mp5; scorpion, glock and very rarely Vss vintorez, SVD AK101 (make them more common on russian heli crash site and Tisy) M4 steyr aug ump45 FNX only in U.S. crash site and Tisy ! When Tisy will become a Contaminated area it should spawn all the rarest loot of the game ! All the other loot like tools, materials should be very common in comparison of food and weapons ! Crafting: there are already a lot of good feature about crafting in the game right now ( and this is a reason why I love this game) but there is so much things to add like crafting your own tents, your own crossbow bolt, your own bullet (very difficult) maybe a system just like in s.t.a.l.k.e.r. where you can modify your weapons internal to get them more effective and durable, putting hunting scope to a mosin, SKS or izh18 ( this gun need a scope to be attached at) that thing will make the player more attached at his precious gun(this is not what the dev want but...) ! if we got a lot further we can also add harvesting cereal a make the possibility to craft wheat then make bread or apple pie etc... The game need a more complicated medical system. if your are wounded you need to disinfect your wound bandage it. bandage, splint, morphine,saline and blood bag should not have an instant effect ( well morphine should have a very fast effect but with bad side effect) medical plant that can be harvested and have some medical effect like natural antiseptic ( there was a really good topic about this in this forum) each bullet or any other wound you take must be taken seriously but hand able if your are a good survivor ! I think night time and interior should be a lot darker to force player to use their flashlight or any other light system, gamma glitch must be fixed of course ! maybe making the loot on the floor not visible in the vicinity ( not a big fan of this system) then you will have to see the item to pick it up would be a good idea. It would be cool if the clothes, bags have several pouches for example a jean have 4 little pouches( 1x1) you can't put bigger object that have 1x1 size but you can put 4 objects with 1x1 size and maybe add a belt that can hold a handgun. that will add some realistic feature to the game. I remember in the 0.59 experimental, you begin your adventure with a walkie talkie and that was awesome ! I remember finding a dead body because of the sound of his talkie walkie ! one of the best DayZ moment ever ! I know the dev disabled it because of a bug but it would be a good idea to put this again !! communication is important in this game and a fun feature ! Well I think that it ! there is still a lot of things that can be added to the game but this was my little thoughts about getting a better DayZ in my opinion ! I want to make this topic a long time ago and i'm glad to finally make it, I hope you gave my feedback about it would be cool and grateful ! if other things wome in my mind I will add it in this topic ! Thank you! Hemtek
