[Mr Sinister 167]

Bring in the epoch boys ? Are you retarded ? I think it's safe to say that people like you Mr. , are te reason why these forums are so immature , but hey every guys got a right to an incredibly impatient , one sided opinion right ? Haha and for everyone complaining new stuff is broken : that's what introducing new stuff does , the new things are usually always broken , it's not like they have 500,000 different pc models booted up and ready to experience all the problems that could happen with a new feature ... So lets stop being impatient , and realize mistakes happen (karmanovka not being added ) and go do something with our lives besides put down people who have done much more than you guys could ever dream of doing while complaining at your computers .

So yeah, a game that has sold only 250k copies, updating fixing and adding through multiple patch's per month is making this lot look just what they are.

  AS for the mouse movement, horrible IMO if I didn't have a mouse where I can fix the sensitivity with a click of a button I'd give up.  Moves way to fast IMO, sure fully loaded M4 might move slow, but a pistol (which I use in buildings and towns usually) moves way to fast.  Unrealistically fast for sure. 

 

 

I totally agree with this,the mouse movement even when turned right down in the games configure is still WAY to fast

So fast in fact I only played for around 5 minutes until I was fed up with it and that is after turning it down completely in game

 

I am not going to start re-configuring my mouse on my Pc ...just to load a game to play!

So with that I played a whole 5 minutes and shut down DayZ abd I will be over playing Altis life on Arma III until the mouse gets turned down at the very least!

 

What is the reason for having to have such as fast mouse ?

and so what the M4 slows you down,who constantely has an M4 in there hands ?

 

Horrible,absolutely horrible mouse movement IMHO

and I would never,ever be able to get use to it as I usually always turn the mouse down in ALL games I play because I like a slower moving mouse!

 

Sorry,but this is one guy that is not even going to check out the new patch,when the new patch and mouse movement starts to make me sick to my stomach in less than 5 minutes of play...well it is unacceptable how these patches force people to play a game!

 

600 second timer ?

this is acceptable to supposedly do something about server hoppers lol

I rather put up with server hoppers and combat loggers and have NO TIMER !!!

 

Servers laggy,switch have to wait 600 seconds lmao

get booted,600 sec. penalty

Ya,punish the whole comunnity because of a few bad apples....that really makes sense

 

Sorry,but as I mentioned I will be playing Altis life from now on and won't be checking much out on DayZ with 600 second timers,very unreal mouse movement

and the fact that guys are being killed by the game for the server booting you etc.

 

New towns that are not there,stuff implemented that dos not work correctly and on and on and on

and the "it's Alpha" is getting really,really old!

 

All this buying into a Alpha game,hopeing to become part of a game in early development to hopefully be a part of the way the game develops for a gratrifying end result...

well.... IMHO this Alpha is giving any other future Alpha games a bad name because if this is what Alpha means I will never waist so much time again on a Alpha game ever again

Let alone waist my money on it

 

Let's see,since this all started,the main Character....went and climbed Mount Everest....now say's he is stepping down to go do something else....

You people out there realize just how much it costs to climb Mount Everest :lol:

 

I just feel like I have totally been suckered out of my money on this game,sorry fan boys but we ALL are entitled to an opinion!

 

 

To summarize ...

less than 5 minutes of play and I shut DayZ SA down,that is how impressed I was with the new patch do to the "Very Unreal Mouse Movement"   :huh:

 

Oh well,it is only Alpha... as the Fan Boys chime in all the time...

So I guess I will just be fireing up Altis life and will check back with DayZ in a couple weeks or months  ;) 

[TheScruffyBandit 382]

You can shoot the zeds too ya know, one hit kill most of the time. Really adds a new level to the gameplay, I hope the zeds do keep a *lil* bit of 'armor' once they fix them up a bit.

 

Yes. Please. Shoot zombies.

 

I like this idea, I certainly won't be taking advantage of those discharged rounds giving away your approximate location. :thumbsup:

 

In all seriousness though, the best solution is still stealth, at least against server spawned zombies, use them as watchdogs if possible.

Couldn't kill zombies with wood axe or pitchfork despite repeated blows to the head. 3 spawns and 3 zombie deaths so far. Guess that is what you intended. Also zombies are hitting me from 20 meters away LOL. 

Show proof

[kichilron 8550]

Bring in the epoch boys ? Are you retarded ?

 

You don't want to use that word around here, as it's considered offensive.

 

 

 

Add 100 player servers to it and ouch, ill say the lighting effects are nice, all buildings accessible. But other than that, the fail is awfully strong in this team. Bring in the EPOCH boys, fire the losers. LOL. 

 

 

"The Epoch guys" are just using the basecode of our Devs as well, more specifically r4z0r49's DayZ-Code. All they did was add a few features ontop of it, which is why it mostly performs poorly.

Rather have them dead instantly and be able to move on then spend five minutes trying to kill them silently only to have another player axe you in the back, or let them follow me as a giant beacon for all to see that I'm there. Its a bit more difficult to zero in on a gun shot than it is to see five zombies chasing someone :P

 

Not to mention the majority of players in my experience tend to flee when they hear shots.

(continue rant about ridicilous mouse speed)

 

I'm totally with you here!

If I wanted to play Quake 3 or CS1.6, regarding the means of movement, then I'd play that!

 

I was really looking forward to the next patch, but THIS ruins the whole game for me! This feels like your commen generic cheap FPS-game now and NOT like simulating reality.

Come on, carrying 30kg on you back and a heavy loaded rifle in your hand and then make a 180° within a tenth of a second without any impact on your orientation or weapon handling?

The sluggish feeling before felt right because that's the way realitiy IS - we have stuff like inertia, gravity and orientation problems in real life.

 

So I *sincerely* hope that the controls are being reverted back to the way before, otherwise - and I'm sure I speak for A LOT OF PEOPLE - I am not willing to play any longer.

 

Geez, there are a MILLION things to be done about the game, but noooo, instead of fixing bugs etc. we take stuff that is perfectly fine and completely fu*k it up. What the hell is wrong with you guys?

[AgainstAllAutority 126]

can I ask developers - Karmanovka is a reference to Karmanov town from Yury Koval's "Priklyucheniya Vasi Kurolesova" & "Pyat pokhishchennykh monakhov" ?

Yeah, seriously... 10 minutes?!?! I'm trying to take screenshots and since I don't know what the weather is like in a server until I join it, I'm being penalized 10 minutes each time I log in, don't like the weather, and decide to switch servers before I even move my player anywhere. I'm actually writing this post while I wait the 10 minutes (for like the hundredth time already tonight).

Oh good, so you're leaving this game then? Thank god! Phew I thought we'd have to endure opinions like this for prolonged periods but luckily you have zero faith in the development team. Bye bye, it was nice having you here. Hope one day you finally find someone who cares!

 

On topic: I'm away from my computer so no DayZ updaaaaaaate :(. I loved the new mouse controls when I tried them on experimental though. They'll take some getting used to but I felt like some clunkiness was taken out of the game.

 

Also, did anyone post the devblog? - http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/83623167155/experimental-branch-saw-many-changes-in-0-44

 

I feel like there's some HUGE news in there. Optimization may be rolled out in the next few months to improve FPS (specifically in cities)!!!!

 

EDIT: Ma bad, I see the development blog section of the forums now. I'm an idiot, you'd think this is my first time here.

Edited April 23, 2014 by AnarchyBrownies

[paisius77 36]

and why you havent fixed the ''known issues'' in experimental before continuing to stable????

 

Are you seriously asking that question? How long have you been on these forums?

[nikom7 19]

Please fix the bug where zombies don't die with melee weapons, add the ability to use the binoculars when prone or chrouched. And for later on improve the physics of thrown items, that they can rotate depending in how it impacts the ground or a wall.

 I'm sure many have faith in the development team, however some of us have lost it due to their inability to follow their own development road map, meet deadlines and produce a patch/update that produces anything in the way of core game progression, rather than silly jackets, guns and other minor objects.

 

If they are going to take their time during updates (which isn't a problem) then at least have something to show for it.

I think the first mistake for anyone is trusting any roadmap no matter who gives it. Any amount of issues can come up at any time that delay certain promised aspects of the game. And if you think the development team is incompetent then don't play the game, abandon it, play something else for a while until you approve of what they have to show. The endless amount of whining on these forums is useless, often times nonsensical, and it's unconstructive.

 

People have been making the same complaints about the incompetence (broken promises, delayed releases) about this development team for well over a year (even back into the mod, remember artifacting?). If people bought the game with these same complaints already in place then it's their problem for ignoring other people's warnings. There are no excuses for the whining now. It's overdone. I don't mind the pace of development at all. I don't think the team is holding out on us. And if they felt like they were going too slowly or not producing quality results then they'd make the staff changes necessary to improve.

 

I think improving mouse control and the network messaging is great. These are huge. As is physics. Finally getting that into the game is awesome and we'll obviously see the performance improve throughout the next little while. I think binoculars themselves are a big addition as far as gameplay goes. People are just looking for reasons to complain and seeing the same things written over and over and over and over again with the same incorrect information backing these opinions is just tiring.

Wow. An actual changelog and update posted on the forums.

[darthbane67 92]

Nice job guys keep up the good work. :)

[chodeofwar 145]

What a patch, I thought this game was only getting patched every six months.

And here you thought no one was listening......... B)

[sloshtt 17]

I've a GTX 660 too and I've never had the luxury of maximum graphics, probably more to do with your processor compatibility or optimisation, you'll just have to wait till it's fixed.

I have a 760 and my mate has a 780 we both have never had the game rolled to max but post patch my frames and his frames are vastly improved i guess it was hit and miss optimization im sorry to hear others didnt get the perfomance boost

[Jiggly Ritz 35]

The new extended timers for server changes are ridiculous! I am currently trying to fix an issue that happened to my character (leg randomly broke in a room, and I can't get out) but I need to change servers a lot to fix it, but the stupid 400 - 600 second wait time is killing my patience. 

 

Also, if you are wondering why I need to change servers so much it's because I'm trying to get a rotten fruit to kill myself.

[Hopix 44]

Why all the people still complaining about the zombies got tough i mean its a zombie game not a KOS game its supposed that the zombies are difficult to kill or at least theyre a thread, what are the guns for? only for people? maybe the people should get arma 3 instead of this game 

If the zombies are made of steel, then fair enough, realistically they should not take 20 hits to the face with any metal weapon to take down.

[pilgrim* 3514]

The new zoom effect is terrible. Aiming is atrocious. (To be clear, this is the visual change and nothing to do with the mouse)

 

For instance:

Using an M4 Red Dot, or using iron sight, my eye position  is now located at the near end of the rifle stock, so the sight is about 18" away from my eye. I can aim better if I take the optical sight off completely. WHY would I hold a sight 2 feet from my eye to aim with it? Now, when I "look down" the sight I can see the WHOLE GUN, with the sight in the middle distance. This is crazy.

 

This is the same effect with any gunsight, iron sights or optical, on any gun, as far as I have found at present. But I guess most folk know - when you look down a gunsight you do NOT rest your CHIN against the butt end of the gun. Everyone knows that, right?

 

This has to be the worst effect BI has employed in any of its weapon-related stuff up to the present.

 

edit (thursday) : I have NOT tried all guns and sights - (the ACOG seems unchanged in fact) so after a day some seem ok; Definitely some ARE ridiculous.

 

Someone please tell me I'm wrong about this?

If it's bad (I haven't seen it yet) then you want to be right about this! Hopefully everyone agrees.
