More on this: Chris Torchia @ctorchia sawed off has about 4x the spread of the full length. Fan Question: Awesome, look forward to seeing it in game! Worth keeping all that shotgun ammo I keep seeing or will new ammo be introduced? Chris Torchia @ctorchia keep the 00 buck. Toss the slugs for now. Chris Torchia @ctorchia I take it back - keep those slugs! And don't drop the shotty when you fire both barrels at the same time.. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaint 80 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) irishroy @thegreenroy @ctorchia Really cool! R we able to load each barrel individually? Will we also get leg-holsters (holster=belt, if belts will ever come)? :D Chris Torchia @ctorchia @thegreenroy both if those ideas were discussed. We will see how difficult they are to implement. https://twitter.com/ctorchia Edited January 17, 2014 by Gaint 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desmond_hume 26 Posted January 17, 2014 Not external, but i like this collection of info! (taken from thread: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/162093-suggestion-new-animation-ideas/ )About animations:Thanks! Just wait how they will look after the aplha :)We know about being not able switch a weapon while moving in crouch. We might add this in one of next updates. Prone is a problematic one, we can surely make that work, but would you be able in real life move in prone and take a gun from your back? ;) Lying down with hands on head sounds interesting.Pointing in a direction plus other gestures almost ready to add in game :) Opening of doors and ladder is something we definitely want to improve.

Max Planck 7174 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Hicks at his Twitter: "Prepping for patch notes and experimental branch update." The patch is already out... EDIT: Sorry, I meant the patch notes are out. Edited January 17, 2014 by Max Planck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apollovulcan 93 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) No hey it makes so much more sense to have players digging through what will be 5+ pages of single posts in a thread, versus a dev tracker sub-forum which has individual threads per dev update. You've really fucking nailed it, haven't you Max? Whatever you need to do to make yourself feel important Max, until then, I'll keep reporting you for mod abuse. Which is all you're doing. But really though, keep it up, I'm sure you'll earn yourself a big ol' boot off the mod squad at the rate you're at. Please try and close another changelog thread, because I'll make sure your mod status gets blown the fuck away. Edited January 17, 2014 by McG2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Planck 7174 Posted January 17, 2014 And thus endeth my little experiment, what the hell was I thinking... Well, let me explain: 1. I made the thread as a response to this post by BL1P: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165136-request-pinned-news-and-updates-from-external-sources/#entry16700612. I didn't want to look all over the internet for updates, so I most cleverly thought I'd let forum member help out.3. I didn't want to look through page after page of off-topic stuff every day to find the updates, so I made it clear that off-topic posts would be hidden.4. I thought people wouldn't ignore the OP completely. Experiment failed. Point number 4 was daft. Have it your way then. I'll release this thread, you may do with it as you please (within reason and forum rules). OP will no longer be updated. Unpinned.Unlocked.Moved to General Discussion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
