The 1.7.7 update favorites

[-Gews- 7443]

- remove the requirement to hold 'Shift" to boost in a car/motorbike. WTF is that nitrous injection? My fingers get sore.

I don't get that either... makes no sense, I have no idea what BIS was thinking.

Hmmm, actually, maybe it was a way for players with keyboards to moderate their speed instead of doing ALL ENGINES FULL AHEAD every time they pressed "W".

I also suspect "turbo" mode uses up more fuel but I haven't checked at all, just a gut feeling...

Crafting precision attachments like optics and other aiming devices is downright ridiculous. You need precision machine tools etc. to make these in real life. Just keep it to rare attachment finding and the need for a manual (make you search for two things, then).

You've got it wrong, you dont actually craft the attachment, you find an Aim scope then need other parts and a gun to complete the crafting process, this was changed a while ago.

Or how about a scoped Enfield! Deadlier than a meth addled bear with a chainsaw.

Kyuss RULES!!!!

I just saw this today:

http://www.pcgamer.c...-patch-release/

And I am a bit sad, because I spend almost half a year on a forum that obviously is not the official site for DayZ. Could anybody tell me where to go for news and info on DayZ? Where are these news posted first? Reddit or something?

Thx,

Skade

Ummm you can hear here first when the mod patch comes in because this is the official place for the mod. You must be blind not to see here in forums that this patch is coming.

Standalone is a different story because there isn't official site yet but his topic and that news is about mod.

Guns with attachments are still in, that was part of the crafting system which they are holding back to work on it some more.

So the bad new's we just found out all the guys dealing with steam updates are shipping out to E3 to get setup looks like we may have to delay again.

Matt's going to speak with the main steam techs and get back to us with info later today.

Soon as i know more info ill updated again :-(

Ill keep the testing servers up for the guys testing may as well.

Sorry guys it's as frustrating for us as it is for you.

[Fonebook 126]

No apology necessary R4ZOR49. Many of us understand the situation and appreciate all the hard work you and your team are doing to bring this out. You never promised it, and a lot of us don't expect it. E3 is incredibly important for the gaming industry and anyone who does not understand this delay should be more or less ignored. Let us know what you know whenever you can, and thanks for being forthcoming about the delay.

[Zoid Flanders 9]

Excuse me for asking, if it is common knowledge, but what do steam updates have to do with DayZ?

Edited June 9, 2013 by Zoid Flanders

[St. Jimmy 1631]

Steam update w00t? What Steam has to do with Arma 2 when we can do everything manually and Arma 2 isn't even full Steam supported? Otherwise can't wait but weird...

[dgeesio 1034]

omg i hope its april the first. this has been ready more or less for months !

steam making dayz into weekz !

[narwaljunior 18]

I am really excited for this update even without the crafting. There is a lot of neato changes and balancing issues that will make this update cool. Those journals look neat, I wonder, can you pick them up off of people?

[Avallanche 121]

* [REMOVED] - M107 and AS50(Banned) from all loot tables and removed all damage from bullets so they do 0 damage even if spawned in.

So we'll stick with the .50? Why?

[Spikér 136]

why are the AS50/M107 removed? Atleast put a bolt action .50 in to replace them.

[dgeesio 1034]

there noob guns . it will free the game up from noob spawn sniper people.

[RedNome 443]

Steam?

Since when have we had to wait for Steam???

[Dekkymane 145]

Wow. Thanks steam.

[Avallanche 121]

why are the AS50/M107 removed? Atleast put a bolt action .50 in to replace them.

I'm afraid it will not (since this line it's with [removed] like they change their mind or something about that).

Edited June 10, 2013 by leodacosta

[scaramoosh 162]

Why even bother going to E3? You're just going to show a buggy unfinished game to a load of press who will not care. Your fans are waiting for patches so I don't get why you'd prioritize the press over the fans?

[St. Jimmy 1631]

Standalone is very different thing than the mod.

[fluxley 2228]

I'm afraid it will not (since this line it's with [removed] like they change their mind or something about that).

Nope, the as50 and m107 are removed, razor has confirmed this, they are gone.

[Spikér 136]

there noob guns . it will free the game up from noob spawn sniper people.

Not everyone used them to kill Noobs ( or fresh spawns to be more accurate). Helicopters were a favorite target of mine.

[supermarco 64]

Why the hell you need to wait for steam when you have dayzcommander and withsix ?! Why frustrated at big part of the community by delaying the 1.7.7 (again) ? :facepalm:

I understand the amount of work that can be, but com'on ! I respect your work, and your team, but I seriously don't get why its such a big deal to don't have steam up to date in the same time as everything ? Is that commercial or marketing thing ?

All the player I know doesn't care about dayz on steam and didn't install it on this platform anyways.. :murder:
