Immersion killer

[Apocrypha8 54]

So, I know how it's pre-alpha and I'm fine with bugs, but I just had a real immersion killer. My friend and I decided to join a hardcore server and play without using maps, and the only plus is him partially being able to read Cyrillic(hes Czech). We wandered inland off the coast near Solnichniy,  only a backpack and a few essential supplies. We made it all the way to Stary Sobor, can opener, FNX but no mags, backpacks, compass', we JUST found a fireaxe and a splitting axe respectively, we were looting the piano building in Stary when all of the sudden: My character basically slid him out the second story wall and he died. Effectively killing our experience.

I dont even use a map i know my way around the important parts pretty well by land marks. You guys should get more familiar with landmarks.

 

LMAO iv done that but i lived however i had to ROLL though an entire town just to find a pair of sticks and cloth to make some bracers. XD

 

Im sorry but it is some funny shit if you really think about it. You guys will find more gear just memorize KEY buildings that carry the loot you need its always there 100% of the time after server restarts. The only items i have an issue finding are the press vest and stab vest but thats about it.

Naw dude, we are experienced. I meant like we just kinda roleplayed and went inland like on an exploration. Going wherever the wind takes us. Seeing if we can survive.

Well you can cross off surviving from a second story floor than. X'D

I'm shaky about ever leaving ground level at the moment and my most important rule is to never drop anything valuable while inside a building or on terrain that isn't dead level. :p Lost far too much good gear falling through floors or through the ground.

This will all of course be fixed and hopefully the loot randomised because I am sick of skipping the majority of houses because I know there's nothing useful in them. That's an immersion killer for me too.

Yeah but survival element or not it does even the playing field that you know where to find guns fast when you need them.

Hey, I was just getting it out of the way.

 

I will say more constructively that it's a known issue and a hard fix.  They're working on it and there has been thread after thread about it.  If anything is spam it's the thread.

Don't hate, buster. This is a lame post that's been played out more than Pam Anderson's fanny.

[over9000nukez 199]

you know what breaks the immersion like 500% more?

 

breaking the fourth wall.

I know where to find guns right now if I needed them in a real survival scenario? I don't see why DayZ should be much different.

What I meant was that once you have food, water, and some decent clothing you can skip 90% of houses on the map. In reality, you'd never know what you might find in any given house. Sure, it'd be unlikely to find full military kit in a civilian house, but not impossible. Some houses don't even spawn loot at all at the moment not even food or water. This is the fix I am most anticipating.

It seems like those wooden cabin type houses never spawn anything. But the bi-colored houses with the yellow and stripe on one part ALWAYS spawns a shit ton of food, at least it seems to me.

EDIT: I've found a few can openers in there too. Always the metal shelf is stacked with goods.

You call that an immersion killer?

 

 

You havent the faintest idea what an immersion killer is.....

 

Theres this giant immersion killer in the northeast part of the map. shaped like a giant boat. It's really just this giant death trap created by rocket to kill any curious survivors.

 

This "boat" has many trick walls inside of it. Everytime you fall through one of these walls bohemia pays rocket a dollar...

So that was you on the other jug. I wondered. But know not to ask questions when momma Africanhungergames is dishing out goodies.

Once, I opened a can of beans on the second floor of a building, well, I don't know how, during the animation I'm falling through the texture.

Yes, I'm dead. I was like : "The fu? O_o"  :D

I love dropping items through 3 flights of stairs though!

I will never be constructive on this forum ever again. I read it for the news.

 

You have been warned.

I don't expect much from DayZ at it's current state, but you're right. The bugs really do suck.

You're the one who wrote about your mum's mams, dude. This topic is stupid regardless and doesn't deserve continuity. And your sentences were confusing.

Fart noise.
