Pending Update: Build 1.7.2

[-=seany=- 65]

Your better off not trying to climb anything (other than fences) in the Arma engine ( well DayZ anyway), if your player model clips it or glitches you will die instantly.

Same for rocks or boulders, never try to walk up or over them, it works 80% of the time, but occasionally you will just die.

Another one is opening and closing doors. Be very careful when doing this as you can get crushed and instant death. Try to not let the door touch you while its moving.

The last danger I can think of is trying to squeeze between to objects, like a wall and a DayZ added trash pile or rubble etc. If you can't get by very easily, just ignore it. trying to squeeze through will probably kill you.

Oh! one last one, damaged buildings, these are death traps. You can survive...but is it really worth the risk? :)

Anyway looking forward to the update! No rush, get it right!

I died to a tank trap yesterday.

Tried to jump it' date=' broke my legs and lost 12000 blood instantly.

I guess it's a bug, really weird.

Do not vault into objects. I died because of stairs.

If there was a jerry can standing next to the tent' date=' I'm pretty sure you got robbed.

I'd consider the same thing if everything else of value wasn't still there in the tents :huh:.

[walkerbait421 19]

I've actually thought several times that this landscape would make for a perfect deer hunting game (or mini-game' date=' as it were, within DayZ). So yeah, I say add the deer, Rocket! :)

Agreed, but first, fix the boars. It's stupid to be able to approach to 1 meter of a wild boar and shoot it in the head with a handgun.

They should 1) Tend to hide in bushes (at least during the day) 2) Run away if you get too close to them (hopefully with a lot of noise that startles you) 3) Have a small chance to attack if injured.

That's some basic behaviour that would turn them into something more that bags of raw meat.

As a RL hog hunter (mostly archery) I agree with this. Realistically these animals are hard to sneak up on and they are FAST, able to run up steep terrain at high speed and travel long distances every day (10-20 miles). So at the very least they should move around, quite fast, stopping every now and then to feed... and if startled should run at least a few KM before stopping. And yes they will charge you sometimes, my buddy got a nice gash in his leg a few years ago and I've had to jump out of the way a couple times. It would be great to have some of this simulated with wild animals... most importantly the "bust" effect of startling them and having them run out of the area. Also handguns (except .44 mag) are useless against most game. The bullets will just piss them off. Finally, there is a fairly small kill zone in wild game (lungs/heart), and if you miss it you will rarely find the animal. Even good double-lung shots can result in an animal running a few hundred yards (especially hogs) needing tracking skills to find the animal. I know this isn't a hunting sim but hunting is part of this game and it would be great to see some of these aspects.

Not everyone clears tents out completely. If I find someones tent, I only steal the things that I want and leave the rest be. Common decency, I call it.

[vesmo 21]

Oh come on people, leave the boars for the last thing to be fixed -.- I'd much rather see the real gameplay issues fixed and content that Rocket sees fit to add to be implemented before making sure the BOARS in the game act realistically...

* [NEW] Exponent driven probability introduced into visibility calculation

??? wut???

What I think that means is that some zombies see better than others' date=' so zombie A might not spot you at 50m, but zombie B (in the exact same situation) may come running for you at 50m. Making things less predictable.

[/quote']

It was explained in a different post by Rocket I think. Pretty sure it means that when you are in zed's line of sight, getting closer to them exponentially increases the chances of being spotted. So if you have high visibility zeds can spot you from farther away than they can currently, but with a low chance. That chance increases as you get closer to them.

I broke my legs just slow/crouch walking down the NE airfield control tower stairs 2 days ago. My two buddies headed down before me no problem. I get to the stairs and CRUNCH... 6,000 blood loss before I could bandage.

Bugs like that piss me off (but this is alpha so meh...)

[sunnz 24]

Do those type of bug happen in the normal arma 2 game? Like running down stairs makes you die/slide to the bottem, vaulting sometimes kills you etc...

[NEW] Set Bear Traps that break player and infected legs, kills animals, when activated

You should add something that unites players not divides them. Im getting bored to shoot everyone I meet, just in case. Direct chat is a joke, so there is no communication any more.

It´s running, looting up, shoot some folks, and yeah baby im the King of loot. Then break a leg and hit respawn.

Im bored, release something

[Frozen (DayZ) 144]

sup with team chat? it should work like side cuz you are in one team.

or global maybe?

[logan23 118]

Will there be away to disarm bear traps? Using tools? Shhot them or hit with hatchet or crow bar?

[Cylence 0]

I love everything that has happened to the game so far, especially the spawn with no weapon. But I agree that something needs to be done to unite players. In a real zombie apocalypse I would try and make some friends, I understand not everyone will want to ally with you and you can never fully trust someone, but there needs to be some benefit for me to talk to the person I meet instead of shooting them before they see me.

---

Not sure if it would work, but i noticed that there were multiple teams and we are all on blufor. Is there a way to use the other teams so that one can be for survivor and one could be for bandit, maybe make it so blufor cant hurt blufor but we could still shoot/kill the other team.

[castun66 20]

Any kind of team/global/side chat is disabled in most servers, because that's the intent of rocket. Just because everyone is a survivor doesn't mean you're on the same 'team.' Once they implement a method of forming groups / squads, I imagine the group chat thing would work in that case.

[Frozen (DayZ) 144]

i may not recall correctly but server that have side channel disable usually have team chat working, at least you can choose it.

but anyway chat system sux in this game. i hope they separate voice and text wich can be turned off client side in Arma3. otherwise it will be screwed again

Target date is Monday. Backup is for Saturday during offpeak time.

WHY U NO GIVE NEW ETA?

[ATOJAR 23]

How about a mutual agreement or "trust" option in game, Where as players can join a sort of team/group(they can still kill and shoot each other etc)and there are rewards for teaming/grouping up.

I dunno maybe make it so that when you hover your iron-sight/crosshair over a person that is say a maximum of 10ft away(they must be within 10ft)you then scroll your mouse wheel as you would but there is a option to "team up" or "trust" .. Something like that, If you do that the other person gets a option to either say yes or no, If the other person accepts this you both now "trust" each other and you can work as a team(of course you could betray that trust and kill the other player if you wish)

Now if players team up we could have maybe moral or happiness that you only get from teaming up .. Something like that where if we break a bone, Bleed, Go into shock or become sick the effects maybe last half of the time & naturally wear off or stop over time without the need for morphine or pills etc, Maybe make it that you have say 30% less chance of taking critical damage from the infected, I dunno just some ideas

Obviously don't wanna overpower teaming with extra items or weapons etc.

I dunno, What do you guys think?

I don't care how long it takes. Not trying to rush anyone but to know something would ease my pain in waiting. And i'm a nerd. I don't go out and get a life. It is already DayZ.

Died to a Survivor who only had an axe and claimed to be friendly. I saw him sneaking over to me so I turned around to shoot him. For some reason my character refused to shoot and instead took multiple axe swings to the face.

When I respawned my character wouldn't stop running backwards trying to move in any direction didn't fix it and when I logged and relogged (to try and fix) I log in to my character collapsing with about a 5 minute timer.

What the?

[djshauny1 222]

how do u eqip the axe as a melee weapon? i right click on it and it only says harvest wood :(

Is this a Q&A thread now? Or are you just randomly spamming the forum?
