Some thoughts on DayZ

[seddrik 44]

Recent patching made engines spawn more, and resulted in less wheels/windows etc spawning.

Recent patching made vehicles not repair anymore (used to auto repair if you were full green and dinged it then got out).

I know.... it was a "glitch" but it was a balance for how stupidly easy it is to totally wreck a vehicle in DayZ. I seriously was going only 2 kph and bumped something... then EVERYTHING was yellow.

So... I hope that the spawn rates will be adjusted for car parts, because Im not spending 2 hours farming for complete sets of car parts just to "ding the car" into wreckage again.

Or/And make cars tougher, not as easily broken. Ive had a real car wreck at 35 mph, guy crossed my lane as I had a green light and I hit him in the back side of the car. Spun him round completely. All I had to do to my car was pull metal away from the wheel by hand and was able to operate the car just fine after that. Arma2/Dayz seems like cars are so much more fragile.

Please don't make the game a grind fest. Let it stay fun.

I was wondering why there was engines everywhere.

I totaly agree that the Parts shouldn´t break this fast, it so annoing sometimes. You hit something really slow. And Dayz says ok Fuck You lets break both front wheels for it ...

i had an Ingame Car Crash ... i was driving an Ural the other one an GAZ ... my Ural just drove over him and he detonatet its was so funny^^

Before the patch, Car Wheels were the highest industrial spawn rate at 4%. I wonder if they changed engines to the same level. If they did, that would be really moronic because it takes four wheels for a car and only one engine. Engines should've stayed 1%.

EDIT: As to wrecking vehicles... What can I say, don't hit shit I guess? The only really dumb thing I've ever wrecked on was the bodybagged corpses on the road by Balota. Pro-Tip, don't drive over those in the blue van.

I actually dont hit things often. But even if u go slow you do occasionally. It wouldnt be so bad if the game didnt make a universal mess of the car from a love tap.

Engines got bumped from 1 to 6 percent (if I remember correctly). Which crowds out the wheels... Like you said, you need way more wheels than engines, so its really unbalanced right now.
