Tracer Bullets in new guns

[Arwondel 1]

Hi dudes, yesterday with my friends was trying the new update. After stay more than 30 minutes in pub, consequence of the rain, we walked to NW airport. Finally we get some new items as the new gun Amphibia S and ammo of .22. We tryed it and our surprise was that the gun have tracer bullets!! Awesome!!

 

The audio is in spanish but you would have no trouble for enjoying it.

Tracers on a machinegun plis

[byrgesen 1341]

Wtf BI......

Forced tracers????

If anything we should have two different kinds of ammunition tbh.

 

I dont want people to see my bullets when i fire a weapon, i sincerely hope this is not gonna be permanent.

Am i the only one upset about forced tracers?

 

Pvp with forced tracers = a quick death tbh, we need to have a choice.

Note to self.....

Its hardly a huge or madly visible tracer round when the dude fires it. Besides I have a feeling it could be just a glitch right now,

Its there and thats how you spot the exact position of your enemy.

It doesnt need to be big or anything like that, this is exactly what gets you killed in all of the Arma games, so why would someone use it here, unless you want to show someone what you are looking at, or if its the last 3 rounds in the magazine perhaps.

 

I doubt its a glitch, but i really hope we get to chose if we want tracers or not tbh.

Forced tracers are just plain wrong, i never thought BI would do something like this...

[thorpey85 8]

tracers might have been put on due to the fact that the gun is silenced, so the conventional method of locating by sound does not work, so you need another method

It's the amphibia S, the gun is effective at a range of 15-20 meters so it's not a big deal. You won't snipe with this handgun.

How about not using this type of rounds?

[-Gews- 7443]

See how he's reloading every shot?

 

Tracers should occur if you chamber a single round. Loading full magazines should produce no tracers.

 

 

It's a mistake, someone put a "1" instead of a "0" in the "single round magazines".

It doesnt matter what range its at, its wrong to force tracers onto people.

Im just saying its a low blow for BI to force tracer onto people.

Especially when they have so many years of experience dealing with Arma and VBS....

Where is that quote from? can you provide the source mate?

It still doesnt make sense the round magicly becomes a tracer, if you only chamber one, compared to the full magazine, as its still the same round.
 

Its getting abit to arcadish with this crap tbh.

 

Give us a choice of using non tracer or tracer ammo, and all is fine.

[CGNoodlePot (DayZ) 149]

i think its the video settings. if there are tracers then it should be on the feature list.

It makes even less sense to be able to turn tracers on and off through video settings, as its bound to be exploitet mate.

So i doubt it.

- Snip just to get your attention -

I have tried this, With both he rifle and the pistol, Gews is right, it seems to be a glitch as it only occurs when you chamber a single round, neither the pistol mag, 10 and 30 for the rifle fire tracers.

So is it only the handgun?

Or do the others have tracers aswell, when only one round is chambered?

 

Just searched on the bug tracker, and theres no report of anything related to tracers unfortunatly.

Seeing as i dont have enough info to write a proper report, someone else might have to do it.

Both the rifle and pistol do it, When a single round is chambered, They've done it since their release on experimental.

I can't say if the other new pistols do it though, I've only fired the 9mm without a mag.

Ahh ok, well i hope someone is gonna report the issue and i hope BI will fix it.

I know i will vote it up.

Such a "simple" thing should not happen tbh.

 

A bullet doesnt magicly become a tracer round, just because you put a single one into your weapon :)

 

EDIT:

Would still like Gews to provide a link for the quote he wrote though :)

Dude, all I'm saying is. I agree with what you mean, but as it is now, the gun JUST released with the update and for some reason it uses tracer rounds, which maybe it shouldn't but you went literally mental about it. if the gun takes non-tracer ammo I'm sure they'll add it sometime but for the time being, as I said, it just got added to the game.

I went mental about it because its BI basicly :)

With the experience they have with Arma and VBS (the most advanced military simulator in the world) stuff like this should not happen tbh.

Its sloppy work, and i expected more of that company :)

 

So you can say i went "full retard" because they fucked up in something i would never expect of them tbh.

Its purely out of love for the company i got angry, they can do damn better then that.

@ Survivor_Ted, I was gonna help him out earlier, but his temper tantrum attitude lead me to ignore him instead. There always has to be a few of these types everywhere. Throws huge tantrums over an obvious error, only help for these types is to throw them on your ignore list.

 

granted he might just be having a rough morning, so lets give him the benefit of doubt.

Hehe and you are spot on, had a giant fight with my x this morning so it kinda ruined my day :/

 

Never the less, this is sloppy work from BI's side tbh.

Im really surprised they would fuck up with this error, i truly expect more from that company, this is not EA or Ubisoft :)

 

But apologies for the tantrum, i could have written up much "nicer" responds tbh, it should not affect you, that i had a bad morning tbh.

It's alright, pal. We all have those bad days.

 

Bohemia Interactive are very good at military simulations, and apparently the tracer rounds is a 'bug' and it will definitely not be like that in the finished product, alas it's still a work in progress and it might take some time before they disappear. :)

Yeh true :)

DayZ is a rollercoaster of emotions and we both love and hate the game at the same time hehe.

Perhaps ive played they're games for so long ive become "damaged" and expect abit to much sometimes, but thats only because they make amazing games tbh :)

[Chucknorris405 83]

its a simple switch from "1" to "0" somewhere in the code for it. They will get it fixed soon enough.

 

For now though i can at least shot one round at a guy to help my squad locate them then just switch guns afterwards

Dont get me wrong, i love tracers when you can use them for the correct purpose, ive played alot of Arma through the years, so i understand the value :)

I just dont want it made it such an "arcadish" way, especially by BI hehe.

 

But i have to remind my self, this is early development and its "untested grounds" for most of the dev team, so fuck ups are bound to happen hehe.
