@THEGordonFreeman Every few weeks, I think to myself, “Maybe I will build the CarZ this weekend.” Then I read this forum! Haha. My experience with VehicleZ (excluding when I was a passenger) sample=about 8 Volga, 2 Gunther, 5 ADA internet=200+ Mb server=vanilla official / 6-30 pop 33% Shot At or Killed by survivors (overlaps with other categories) 20% Lag Teleport to undriveable position, nothing wrong with engine 33% Lag Freeze warps vehicle movement causing a wreck 20% Dice Roll / Bouncing without wreck or death (overlaps with other categories) ~7% Dice Roll / Bouncing with wreck ~7% Straight GTA’d when I got out and left it running, back when you still could 27% Stolen while offline or in a different location ~7% Solid Performance (reckless speeding resulted in wreck, vehicle was Olga) 00% Death from Lag / Dice Roll 100% Minor to Major Lag / Loading In my experience, driving in DayZ will result in some sort of car trouble more than half the time, and the rest of the time you’re getting shot at or waiting for someone to steal it.

It’s one million clone Santas sent to South Zagoria by a psychologically ill super villain whom has clearly subjugated the infected in the part of the world he or she is from. The craftsmanship on the sleigh is worth remark, as the runners look undamaged after crash landing. I suspect a sophisticated propulsion system with evident landing capability and an audio device in the burlap bag which plays the villain’s unhinged message.

14 days.

deloot is dynamic event loot, which is heli, no?

Are the toxic areas like rify and Pavlovo m.b. considered Tier 4 or Dynamic Event? I’m reading it right now as NVG being strictly a heli spawn. The “count_in_player” flagged as “1” is a poor way to make an item rare. Once five or more people have NVGs, they are no longer available. Not very equitable. A better way to increase rarity and still maintain fairness would be to make it a Tier 4 item, min=1, max=1-2, restock=7200-14400 (2-4 hrs).

Survival simulator should give you no forgiveness for mistakes.

Exactly, food is overly abundant. I thought this was shtf... Also, too many guns. You lose that sense of accomplishment when the loot is remarkably common.

@lemmac My camel, the shock I feel is overdone. It was better before they changed it a few versions ago. The infected used to slaughter you without reprieve, now it’s lame.

To make sure you are drinking clean water, boil it, get it from a well, or use chlorine tablets. It makes no sense to use alcoholic tincture or disinfecting spray to “clean” water, that shit would make you incredibly sick, the tincture could blind you. (Real world applications in SHTF scenario.)

Yes, this is intended. The devs changed these values in 1.15.

The infected should kill you instead of walking away after you pass out from shock.

I may be mistaken, but on 3pp servers the hit marker, which is just awful, is present. But, I don’t recall seeing it in 1pp server... I will double check this. edit: it is on 1pp! How unfortunate. I think the devs pushed it through for more general feedback from the community, it may (hopefully) disappear in 1.16 patch. I don’t like that it is red; that color should be reserved for a bleed. The hit marker should be the shock vignette because it is indicating pain. It should only indicate front, back, or sides (the four edges of the screen). It could turn red when you suffer a cut/wound.

If you look down at your body, you can see blood spraying out of you. This is enough for me. My eyes don’t fill with blood when my foot is bleeding.

I have several parking spots. If I’m lucky to possess a vehicle, every few days, I will try to move it to the next spot. If I’m lucky, it will be there next time I check. The longest I had a car in one spot without theft was 3 weeks! But that is absurdity. Usually, it won’t last 5-7 days in one spot.

Currently, the way the bullet ballistics are, and with the newly re-balanced damage numbers, gunplay is lacking the hardcore elements, leaving much to be desired. Vitals? Upper limb damage? I would like to see suppressors by caliber. Complaining about gun cleaning and trying to pawn off a bastardized system based on Metro is a waste of everyone’s time.

Clean your rifle. Often. Similar to the real world, if in the game the state of the weapon says “damaged,” and visibly it looks ruined, it does not mean it is no longer serviceable. It won’t be as accurate or reliable but it will still work. 100 rounds is more than enough reason to clean and oil the barrel of a firearm, you must know this! Especially since you have served mandatory military time and have experience with weapons. A PKM is not a rifle, it is meant for more sustained rates of fire. Even then, barrel degradation is a legitimate issue. In the real world, you would replace the barrel. In DayZ, you use an universal gun cleaning kit for all issues. The reason I said M4-A1 was garbage compared to AK-M is due to the design of the extractor and spring. We all know the M4-A1 also suffers from poor stopping power, unlike the longer barrel M16 which uses the full potential of the NATO ammo. The mechanic is fine. At least we don’t have to clean our weapons every time it rains. (Which you should, if you’re hardcore.)

I never said I was offended. And my reply is the second post in this thread. Literally, the very first reply to this topic.

I love how this guy says “share your opinion” and then insults everyone that doesn’t agree with him.

You only play games, Artyom. Lol, indeed. You will need to do more push ups before you can use real AK-M.

Yeah that is aweful in the video. I have never had an issue with hearing the general direction shots are coming from. No one needs this in a hardcore title. Really watering things down, first with shock, now this garbage.

Yea, that blows when it’s your ping. To further my previous point, if the time penalty when switching servers was only 15 seconds you and your friends could hop in and out until you are close enough to each other to reasonably meet up. Which could take 10 to 15 mins instead of 40, like you mentioned, @General Zod.

You should clean your weapon more often than every 90 rounds fired. Gun mechanics seem good to me. Your weapon isn’t guaranteed to jam just because it is damaged, only more likely. I once had M4-A1 jam when it was worn, which is realistic since it is a piece of garbage compared to M16 and AK-M. Russian roulette is a fantastic feature. I could build an entire character around that, like two-face, Harvey, with his coin.

Maybe it should be a bit random? 67% of the time they lose interest after KO, and 33% of the time they full on rage until you are reduced to a bloody pulp. I liked it when they always killed you. Been through some intense moments saving former friends from crowds of infected.

Plenty of reasons to change servers I suppose.... I play on one server usually, so I’ve not run into that problem often, rarely due to a bug. Server position change is necessary, however. I remember the ghosting days. The spawn locations are about as good as can be at this stage, @General Zod. The thing that shouldn’t be in place anymore is the infernal extended timer! What is the point of a 75 second wait time when swapping servers? Seems like punishment for just playing the game.

I play hardcore servers with pitch black nights and NVG is an essential end game item. It was fine the way it was with a rarity of 5 and no limit. Reduce it to 3 on the map with no count in flags and it is still good rarity. Everything was fine before the change. Looting shouldn’t be the point of the game. Overthinking the rarity of items is going to lead away from the core of what a sandbox game is supposed to provide: interactions with survivors or lack thereof by choice. I’ve been thinking of renting a private server for a decent NY hardcore 1pp experience... With a complete overhaul to the CE to create brutal survival and streamline performance for consoles. Less CE clutter, overhauled infected inventories. Rare guns but always present.
