DayZ Mod 1.7.7 Patch

[scaramoosh 162]

Yeh I've always felt like there is no consistency in how zombies spot you, would rather have a mini map and a cone coming from them like MGS.

[Dekkymane 145]

Tought this patch would make the game better. Seems the dev team went backwards with this patch. Back to DayZ mods.

unless you have some actual constructive criticism and realistic alternatives to make the game better, no one cares

[Cadian412 31]

I have. So have several others. This might help: http://dayzmod.com/f...40#entry1364612

Someone one post down also corrects me, and provides a couple other very accurate pointers. Using a mixture of these methods when appropriate can help you avoid getting hit at all, while still scoring loot.

I found a helicopter on my first life- I'd probably be flying it now if it hadn't eaten me. Silly DayZ.

Your suggestions were abusing buildings, which is an exploit in itself and doesn't really work if there's no buildings around or when they're small buildings and there's multiple zombies. Attacking with melee, which is only a plausible avenue if it's a single zombie, and which has a very high chance of resulting in damage, bleeding or infection. And finally: running up hills, which only works if there's an actual hill, doesn't really work that well, is again an exploit, and sort of defeats the purpose of zombies being as quick as you.

I've tried weaving in between trees and bushes but that doesn't really work all that well either since zombies are right behind you now most of the times.

Your criticism seems to suggest that you think that this doesn't work. I know otherwise.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM?

Why i hate the New update!

-Infected way too easily.

-Can still be hit through walls

-Zombies can see way too easily.

-Knockdown happens WAY TOO OFTEN. shall i go on?

Nah, just go back to CoD. DayZ is a zombie survival game. Zombies should be a threat, and a factor in gameplay instead of just serving as player radar for CoD kids that only play to camp newly spawned bambis on the coast.

6 Hours of playin - found those bugs already!

• Zombies hit you from 5-10ft away
  
• Zombies knock you down like every 2nd hit
  
• Zombies still glitch through objects
  
• Zombies still hit you through walls
  
• Zombies infect you far to often
  
• Many Zombies are just bugged, standing around like frozen
  
• nearly no antibiotics spawning
  
• all loot-spawns are messed up (nearly not usable loot)
  
• FPS-Drops
  
• Pitching Tents is buggy
  
• Making fireplaces is "laggy" / delayed
  
• Tents dupe stuff again
  
• Vehicles dupe stuff again
  
• Giving Bloodbags gets your kicked
  
• Crashsites often got no loot
  
• Crashsite-Loot is spread like 50m around it
  
• Crashsite zombies often spawn more then 50m away from it
  

DayZ is broken - congratz!

Fix the bugs that appeared in really early versions of DayZ already (duping etc), get in the 1.7.6.1 Loottables, reduce the "knockdown"-chance and maybe fix the zombies after ~1 year!

[srcinmo 1]

looks kind of bad playing on a server when people know you're an admin on it and you get kicked for a script restriction by giving a buddy a blood bag.... should be fixed now though at least for the server i'm helping out on

[word.pad 24]

So delete that one bug (also caused by the patch - no matter if theres an solution) from the list.

There are 16 others.

Enough said?!

[TD-4242 12]

• Zombies hit you from 5-10ft away - bug
  
• Zombies knock you down like every 2nd hit - feature
  
• Zombies still glitch through objects - bug
  
• Zombies still hit you through walls -bug/feature I haven't seen this except at windows
  
• Zombies infect you far to often - feature
  
• Many Zombies are just bugged, standing around like frozen - bug
  
• nearly no antibiotics spawning - was this intentional? I would say it was a little sparse so bug
  
• all loot-spawns are messed up (nearly not usable loot) - feature?
  
• FPS-Drops - haven't seen it, actually runs better for me than previous
  
• Pitching Tents is buggy - not seen
  
• Making fireplaces is "laggy" / delayed - not seen
  
• Tents dupe stuff again - again or still?
  
• Vehicles dupe stuff again - again or still?

• Crashsites often got no loot - bug? not sure
  
• Crashsite-Loot is spread like 50m around it - feature
  
• Crashsite zombies often spawn more then 50m away from it - probably bug

Ok this patch did a lot that I like. The Combine mags option, new guns/weapons, and other various things are great. This said, i do not like this new form of dayz. The value of antibiotics has jumped through the roof and they rarely spawn (I found 1, used it, then immediately got infected again). The zombie speeds are fine, but the loot spawns (ESPECIALLY MEDICAL) make it annoying difficult combined with this crazy infection rate. If only these two things were fixed, this patch could have descended from on high wrapped in bacon.

Side note- Sure the AS50 was kinda dumb, but i miss the m107....wish they could have just lowered the damage or something

Hi MasterPepper :P

[Hetstaine 10852]

Most of us have other things in our life that need doing, sometimes I'm not able to play a game for a couple of weeks because of work etc. that doesn't mean the devs should dumb the game down. DayZ became popular precisely because progress takes time and rewards patient, careful players, it was never supposed to be a game you dip in and out of for half an hour at a time.

There's a million other games out there already that cater to people that want a quick fix.

I love you.

Seriously.

[word.pad 24]

They added a higher chance of infecting yourself when bloodbagging etc last patch, then increased the spawnrate of antibiotics.

Now they add even MORE and they DECREASE the spawnrate!?

You cant tell me this is logic in any way, this is just senseless.

When i enter a big city like Cherno, Elektro, Stary or Berezino i expect some loot for the risk i take with all that zombies, attraction to other players and all that stuff.

But what do i get?

I dont get food in a supermarket, i dont get tools in all the houses and i dont even get MEDICAL SUPPLIES in a HOSPITAL!?

What the fuck is this?

Making a game harder is one thing, but making it unplayable is just a joke.

• Zombies should knock you out sometimes, thats true. It should be an surprise-effect, but the way it is now is only annoying, just stupid. You dont even have a chance to fight a group of zombies when tackled to the ground all time.
  
• Zombies do in fact still hit you through walls, windows and all other sorts of things. Try it with the church, 4 out of 5 times i was in there i got hit from outside.
  
• If there would be any option beside antibiotics (which are not spawning) to cure the infection, it would be a feature. As it is now, its just stupid and senseless, because there is like no way to fight it
  
• as written above, how can it be a feature to visit a big ass city and only find tincans, razor and one 2nd Rnd Slug!?
  
• as you can read in another thread, you currently only can pitch tents in giant, flat fields - whyever
  
• Tents and vehicles keep duping stuff like they did in some previous patches - if you get like a weapon out of a tent, it will be there, with the same amount of ammo etc like it was before (after the next server restart)
  
• must have been very bad testing when something basic, something usual in a game gets you kicked from the game - right? They changed the bloodbag, so they should have tested it ( lol, dont think so ) and it still throws such an error?!

welcome to the zombie apocalypse.

*** Will also add that antibiotics also spawn in industrial areas. Found some at the Polana Factory within about half an hour of fresh spawning near Solni.

[DragoValhar 13]

Okay, here's some constructive criticism. If an ALT-F4 happens in combat, the character is instantly killed and the body remains. In the last three weeks of playing every person we've almost killed has combat logged. This is ridiculous. if they can't deal with dying then they shouldn't play the game. Period.

[r4z0r49 4761]

one random question though, why is dwbans.txt showing up on my battleye file with retarded bans in it.... i.e.

xxxxxxxxxxx121c88d5adc -1 Seen by Dw #526 nublet

xxxxxxxxxxxc817603758a -1 Seen by Dw #518 hi

xxxxxxxxxxxxx5e6099171 -1 Seen by Dw #319 you got code to hit admin? well ban ya

i deleted every single one of them because of the stupidity of what some were saying. Why would you guys include something like that if people are going to view it as immature?

Where did these come from ? We don't include any ban files.

Ain't you just a whiny piece of s.. I found those "frozen" Zeds awesome, nearly shat my pants. And what comes to Crashsite-loots, if those 50 meters are too much for you, my friend, you're playing a totally wrong game.

[DemonGroover 8836]

A couple of things:

Being knocked down might be annoying but i think it is realistic. An angry psychopath would quite easily knock you down with one hit. Avoiding zombies is a priority again - thank goodness.

Antibiotics are now DayZ's new currency - worth their weight in gold.

@JuggernautNukes "I dont get food in a supermarket, i dont get tools in all the houses and i dont even get MEDICAL SUPPLIES in a HOSPITAL!?

It is called the zombie apocalypse. I don't believe it is supposed to be a shopping simulation.

[word.pad 24]

@DemonGroover

Sure, its not an shopping simulation.

But i take higher risk when entering a city than entering a village, what should be rewarded - right?

Big city´s should have more supplies then small villages, right?

But it isnt like that atm - its just junk loot (whats the point in adding like 4 or 5 new junk loot items btw?)

@R4Z0R49

Ok hfb identified an issue with there install system did you reinstall both the server.pbo and mission file.

Will message the admins of the servers so they try it (if not already done).

Which bugs should be fixed by that?

What about the other ones?

Edited June 13, 2013 by JuggernautNukes

[r4z0r49 4761]

Give us an extact way to recreate them and we can test but so far your the only guys reporting the dupe issues just now. This isn't new we have always had players moan about dupe and tent save issues but then find out there using something like bliss witch was stopped being developed back before .6

The more info we get the more we can find out whats happening.

[word.pad 24]

Dupe happened when my mate took out an M4A1 CCO SD with 2 Mags out of an tent, that was placed there back in patch 1.7.6.1.

We played as usual, coming back to the tent after a fight to put in the catch (while a server restarted happened ~ 1,5 hours before) and when we checked the tent, the M4A1 CCO SD with exactly 2 Mags was inside the tent again.

So we duped unintentionally.

Similar incident happened when we put some stuff (Cans of Food, Boiled Waterbottles) inside our UAZ, after the server restart it was there again although we took and used all of the items.

Thats the most exact way i can describe it.

May i ask how i should fight an infection when i need like 2 hours to find an antibiotics (if im lucky) to just get infected 5mins later again?

Is this like it should be?

Wouldn´t make any sense to me, because you are kinda "immune" to a virus when you have consumed antibiotics.

So an increase of the spawnrate (medical supplies in general) and/or a timed "immunity" would be more logical and wouldnt reduce the game to "find antibiotics".
