People are already playing with the AKM..

Since I saw some videos of people already unlocking the AKM buried in the code (can't get it unless you edit gamefiles), can we expect it to ship sometimes before wednesday? :)

Meh. It's a gun. Where's my zombie horde? I was promised a horde!!!

 

:D :D :D

Your horde will come when the time comes my friend. And when the time comes I mean when the server optimizations come that are able to deal a substantial amount of zombies.

which, in alpha, should be happening before adding a freaking akm

fuck the akm..give me 30 fps :D

It's easy to add a new gun.

 

It's really, really, REALLY hard to rewrite the code to allow more bodies in the world without severely effecting performance.

 

I don't understand why this same whiny ass logic pops up in every thread about a new feature. If they didn't add any new items for two whole months to work on adding more zombies, I bet my own ass you would be right on the front lines bitching about how there aren't enough guns.

 

You said it yourself, its in alpha. Let the developers... I don't know... develop the game? In their own way. Because that's their job.

Well, coding can give more headaches than modeling a new item. Either way, they have to open up the game to add a new item to the pool for spawning.

Coding does give more headaches than simply modeling another item, particularly considering (with guns at least) a thousand models already exist for the thing.

 

And please don't try to pretend that every instance of "opening up the game" is somehow the same because you know it isn't.

[archone88 29]

I dont think all of them are working on the same thing either. So we could expect that they are working on new guns atm, and at the same time as many more things. (Not all)

Further the shading, rigging, poly count, bump-maps, ao, texture quality, and more are not necessary compatible/correct with dayz's engine ;)

And even with that you're still talking a fraction of the effort required to significantly increase zombie, player, and loot counts without nuking server performance.

 

Essentially Antonio is arguing that the devs don't want to (X,Y, and Z because if it isn't zombies it would be something else bitch-worthy). There's really only two reasons a feature would not be in the game yet; they either need more time to work on it or it is a feature that have not deemed should be in the game. Considering that the list of features to be added pretty specifically includes more zombies, more players, and more loot I'm going to go ahead and say that it's the former.

 

You can argue back and forth over "well models and shaders and jiggabytes and such" or "but I really really want zombies and not guns and since I'm the only one playing there should be more zombies", but at the end of the day they need to work on things that will make everyone happy and you need to accept that the process might take some time.

 

tl;dr

Deal with it. Guns are fun and a majority of the community wants more guns, therefore guns and not zombies.

Woah woah, I never said anything about devs not wanting to add something. I just said that either way, the coders have to open up the game to insert the item in followed by optimizations, testing, and sound assets working correctly.

 No.

 

 No we don't.

[soulfirez 901]

i have enough guns for now!! i dont have enough zombies not even close, but i am happy to wait for either or both , give them to me when there ready and hopefully not nuking perfomance rather  happy with my current 40 to just under 80 i get( still that city in guba bay hits my fps the hardest lol)

I've currently taken a break from playing until the item testing phase is finished, as the game is a little dull at the moment for a zombie apocalypse. There will be many players like me who are not particularly interested in murica gun porn and are here for DayZ as a whole (where the mod left off), we are waiting patiently.

[DMentMan 707]

i. need. guns.

[infiltrator 275]

Guys.. you know the gun has been in the files for quite some time. So there's no point in discussing modeling, texturing, rigging when that's already there..

[Hethwill_Khan 233]

Oh god... exactly what we need... more military stuff...

 

Civilian weapons make for the most epic shoot outs and fill the ghost towns with noise out of hell - shooting both barrels sounds like artillery incoming.

 

Military stuff are just bland.

[-Gews- 7443]

Military stuff are just bland.

Keep an open mind, that sounds exactly like what many people say about civilian firearms.

[kobeandodom 23]

i'm a bigger fan of more civilian firearms, but i it's whatever really, im not to worried about it either way.  I would like them to put something in that fixes accessories tho, why even spawn so many badly damaged scopes and suppressors? 

[LeChat 131]

In all honesty, there's  already plenty of firearms in the game right now - I would like to see some proper functions added soon. Although I guess that might take a while longer - just not too excited about updates with firearms. I guess though that it might be nice for the devs to have those working properly before moving on, due to the fact that they're one of the things that affect players the most... but still, it's bloody boring with firearms.

[Karmaterror 982]

Didn't R tweet that they were close to more, and respawning zeds? But I think that was before the memory leak issue, so that has probs pushed it back a bit :)

 

AKM sounds good, first full auto rifle.....let the fun begin :)

Video link pls

[infiltrator 275]

Video link pls

 

Post got taken down, I don't have the link any more, it was on some russian video site.

 

Here's the model tho:
