If your PP's turned off you can't be much of a man

[crimsonbzd 247]

My complaint here is about Gamma/Brightness adjustment and the ability to turn Post Process effects off.

 

Yes, I realize most of you who do this do so to get a higher FPS.

It's still cheating.

 

If you get hit by a bullet from another player with Post Process off, almost nothing happens to your screen. It goes a little bit more greyscale.

If you play the game properly, with post-process on, you get shot a couple times and you have to flee simply because you cannot see the world around you well enough to continue the engagement.

 

But, unfortunately, ya'll wanted to play PC games until your PC couldn't handle it.

 

Which throws me for a bit of a loop, cause all I'm running on here is a OC'd i5 and a single GTX 460, and I top out at 50 fps, which is far more than I even need.

 

So... y'all must be trying to play on some old Dell windows 98 PC or something.

 

And this saddens me, because the integrity of the game is out the door when players can alter their game as such.

 

So, this goes out to everyone using free gamma night vision, and everyone with their PP turned off.

 

Cause if you're PP's turned off, you're not too much of a man. Yes, I'm directly calling you a cheater, weak, and furthermore a cheapskate. Suck on my nuts, all of you. No need for one at a time, my PP is on all the way for yah ^_^.

Butthurt.

[frosti 2165]

PP on should be enforced if anything.

I apologize for having a crappy computer and wanting to play DayZ

Another child with a warped sense of reality, this board is full of them. Having a great pc is easy when your folks are paying for everything.

 

Big ups to the windows 98 massive and to those who spend money on more important things than pc parts

If they made day and night less realistic in terms of real time im sure ppl would be less tempted to do the gamma thing. Hell i was even doing it to see around the damn place. But i mean at first i was doing it legit with flashlight and whatever i could find until i realized ppl were being asses and could see me in pitch black regardless.

 

So pretty much until its fixed im just going to stick to the day sever im on till ppl stop doing that crap.

[creature 1189]

This isn't even close to being one of the worst exploits in the game yet you still chose to make this thread.

 

Interesting.

[doctorbadsign 645]

Calling built-in options that everyone can change 'cheating' is ridiculous.

 

Its like saying using a gun is cheating because they can kill me and its not fair cause I don't want to die.

 

If PP was always on and people found a hack to remove it, then yes you could say its cheating. You might wish to say it's exploitable---which we can debate here. But to say it's cheating is stupid. I turned mine off cause I wanted the game to run smoother, until it runs smoothly with PP on then I shall keep it off.

Hi.

 

The PP effects from taking damage should be separated from the rest. That way people who truly need the normal ones off for performance will be fine, it's an obvious fail on the dev's part to not have damage effect every player equally.

 

Of course this topic isn't new, and there will be the obvious forum trolls.

 

Regards.

Lol while watching rockets 5 hour marathon live stream the other day i said exactly this to him and he sort of answered ... he want yeah blur separate maybe... wasnt quite the answer i had hoped for but hey he may think about it

 

I also asked him more of a noob question relating to cold wet in regards to clothing and he was saying about energy expenditure needing more food and maybe illness but he was kkinda vague he was playing with friends on his weekend...

haha.

 

I bought and built this PC with my own two hands. Talking down to someone taller than you little man?

 

Anyways, ignoring the others who wanted to increase their post count by 1 while shitting generic forum replies forcefully out of their obliterated anus:

 

I'm glad to see that Rocket recognizes the issue. Of course it doesn't need to be addressed immediately, but I find ridiculous that you can turn off all negative status effects up until full unconsciousness or death. It cheapens the game.

 

The actual event that caused me to write this post was actually what I consider losing a decent friend in this game. We go to play together, he takes me to grab some gear first. So I spawn in on a night server on him (not knowing it was night) and this mug is shouting at me the whole time to max out my brightness/gamma (which doesn't work for me, my TV I use as a computer monitor IS TOO FUCKIN BALLIN FOR YOU BROKE BITCHES apparently so you might not know why it doesn't work, not my responsibility to explain it) so he over here has free night vision, then once we get to Belota there's another dude there, apparently running around the place with free night vision. These this mug over here screaming at me to kill this dude while all I can make out in the pitch is his tail obviously running away.

 

So, dude was using these tactics, I had been playing with him on day servers, then suddenly he's like "lets go server hop" and I was like "yeah I have better things to do then server hop", he getting mad at me about that, then he getting mad because I don't have free night vision.

 

At that moment I understood that him being mad isn't really his fault - the community (meaning many of you) have overly decided to engage in and accept massive circumvention of many aspects of the game.

 

The occasional hacker, scripter, little bored child who comes in and fucks something up is rare in the scope of things, and they're never allowed to roam free all over your game. But when the air of the entire community is circumvention of the game is okay so long as you don't have to leave the game menus to do so.

 

Yes, what I'm saying is if I was Rocket, I would make gamma/brightness a balanced slider that lets you adjust your game within a certain range without granting free night vision and locking blur effects (at least) always on.

If your PC can't play the game because of it, then your PC can't play the game because of it. If you want to change it, open it up and replace the bullshit, and if you can't, go get your hands dirty until you can afford it.

 

Furthermore, yeah we're in a global recession. Yeah people ain't doing good, but on a personal level that is NO EXCUSE for your individual failures in life.

If you're sitting here playing video games thinking about how broke you are... you see the issue right? Go use a skill you posses to acquire income or goods, and when you're good and tired from a day of that - then sit down and play.

I'm happy with my PP on very low, because I hate when everything shines and yes, more FPS is good and it's not cheating in any way.

OP is either a bit butthurt or he likes to appear as "superior" gamer. 

 

EDIT: Beans to anybody who did read the huge wall of self-entitled text above my post!

Naw nigga get yo priorities straight. I got a baby, she's happy, fed, warm and dry and I still managed to get this computer.

 

Don't get mad at me for what you don't have because of your failures - there's no reason you can't provide for your baby and get your computer.

Yes, I will respond to you individually post after post, until I get bored at least.

 

OP would like this game to have a bit of integrity with multiplayer.

 

Very Low is an acceptable place for Post Process, the effects are still on your screen.

 

Here's the issue, and yes, I will be directly insulting many people here. I have what you don't and that's not my fault. I earned it, I built it, I found ways to get what I want and need even when I didn't have the means. My skills and my success are apparent.

 

Broke ass bitches always blame others for their broke ass-ness. I refer specifically to the guy who's having a baby above. Baby hasn't even been born and it's being blamed for stuff.

 

On a side note: Congratulations. Assuming you don't end up spending all your time neglecting your child, raising one is a life-altering experience you'll realize your life likely would not have been complete without.

 

Multiplayer gaming experiences are dependent on the fact that everyone's experience up until their hands meet the controller are IDENTICAL.

 

With this option enabled it is not. It ends up being the same thing as some guy in some mp game giving himself a bunch of health, now damage dealt by you is less effective on this individual.

If you have PP disabled and you are injured, you are more easily able to recover and continue than with any sort of PP effects enabled.

Nope, 23. Some people use the word "nigga." It's true.

 

I'm beginning to feel like a celebrity being interviewed. It's kinda fun, I should bait inferior humans more.

[crimsonbzd 247]

 

Forum mods, if you wanna decrease my post count a bit, I don't mind.

I actually started this topic to attempt to make a legitimate point while venting rage, but ya'll are showing me why this is fun :).

[skoms 86]

I can understand that many people turn of PP. If the hardware is not good enough you have to do what you can to improve your FPS.

 

But, the adjustment for Gamma and brightness should be removed or strictly limited. When you can tweak them till you see clear as day, then its totally pointless to have night servers in the first place. Yeah, i now night is not 100 % realistic when it come to light setting at night, but its acctually not far off either. In a world where most buildings have no light, there will be pitch black nights as long the moon is small or hidden by clouds. 

 

I grew up in the country side and i can honestly say i have stumbled myself in pitch darkness many times. Even when eyes adjust to darkness, it will still be hard to see without a torch. And this should absolutely be the case in dayz as well.

[sabaka (DayZ) 70]

I'm confused. If you're half as awesome and skilled and determined and dedicated as you seem to think you are why does it even matter to you what other people do? Surely you can kill "inferior humans" cleanly and quickly in game so the injured thing shouldn't even matter to you. Think of it as a way to give us less capable people a fair handicap so playing with someone as talented as you can stay fun for everyone.

 

Also don't feel like a celebrity being interviewed. If you're not serious then feel like a successful troll because everyone is feeding you, or if you are serious then feel like an embarrassment being mocked.

Of course people want good fps. I'm running on an i5 / GTX 670 and compared to DayZ Mod I get terrible frames, certainly not 50 fps in places like Cherno, no matter what settings. I understand DayZ is all about realism and what not, but above all it should at least be playable on decent pcs. Theres still a long way to go for the alpha's performance optimalisation..
