Experimental Branch: 0.45 Discussion

[antykain 200]

Chopping tree and bush are good features but I just want to ask something. As you know when you go near tree and select chop tree option,theres is no proper animation.He just slash axe afew times and tree falling down with ROOT. Theres no cutting MARK on tree, and no proper sound effect. Its really killing ambient and realisim in game. Is it really so hard to put proper cutting animation and cutting marks on tree also make tree fall down not from root.

Chopping bush not that bad  its acceptable for me. Just need to delay chopping like 5-10 second and make bush go flat slowly not suddenly.

Also when you take meat from animals, theres no blood at least we should see when you dig knife in to animal,

When you minnig, again theres no effect like spark. I jsut want to know those visual effects and animations will be in final relase or, they will stay like that. Also someone let me know, what I asking for are they really hard to do ? If I know, what I looking for is really hard to put in game I wont expect proper visual effects and animations on this game.

 

I sure the minor details of the animations, sounds, etc will all be worked on further and be finished in a future patch.  Nothing is final with everything you have stated above in your post.. still a WIP.

They're placeholder animations why would that be final?

 

In any case would you really want it to be so realistic that you have to stand chopping a tree for like half an hour or more? It would br fucking boring, everyone would just murder each other for firewood why do the work when someone done it for you.

Yes, animations and interacting with objects in a realistic manner are difficult to accomplish in the DayZ engine, but that doesn't mean that it's not something that the devs want to accomplish.

 

Hopefully later in development...

idk but its rly strange that they cant even restart a server after it is stuck, half of teh exp. servers are unplayable.

[Demonio (DayZ) 19]

I think people have a right to complain, it's called constructive criticism, ever heard of it? Probably not, Whether or not it's an Alpha, we still had to pay for it, even if we are testing, if we don't like something we should be allowed to mention what/why because it's paid for, i'd understand if it was a free beta, or had to sign up for it. But since we had to pay we do have a right to mention and point out the flaws with the game, and it's development, in fact even if we didn't pay we'd still have a right. We ARE the tester after all, or so we keep hearing from the same recycled posts by the egotistical people who most likely couldn't care less how this game develops, or even if it progresses.

 

"It is an ALPHA STFU." "It's an Alpha expect these things" blahdy blahdy blah, and? They're developers. This game needs developing. It has bugs, they need fixing. IT has hackers and has for the past 3 months, that needs stopping. The game's still early, it needs content. Add it, the rate of this is really really poor. I could care less how many times i'm told it's an Alpha, end of the day i'm not happy with the speed the progression is, it's questionable, almost like the devs don't even give a shit but hey why would they right? They have people defending them. They have our money, and they can hide behind the excuse "It's only an alpha" you can say what you want in response but it won't change anything about my expressions here, i love the game. I love the concept and idea. Only problem is the progression, the bugs and hacks i can deal with as strenuous as they are, but the progression seriously needs to be looked at.

 

If you have payed for an alpha and become so angry, listen to me you made a big mistake ... next time don't buy an early access and wait for the retail

[jasonb 10]

Was there an update today?

[fowang 60]

no

[inphared 33]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Quite a few servers say they're up but they actually aren't & you just get stuck on "Waiting for host" forever.

[Brasilo 16]

To me it just looks like that they just dont care.

Isn´t there anyone in the team that plays on teh exp. server?

Or looks into them for Data analystics? Some of the servers are stuck for a week now, or more ...... but hey its E3 and GTA is comming ;)

[Gugolas 228]

This happened everytime experimental was up, since its beginning :(

Nothing that has to do with the current patch or whatever.

Not angry just more disappointed with the lack of activity, they a decent size team, and 2 departments working on this, these patches should be rolling out much quicker than they are, We're 11 days behind now, as we have been with pretty much every update. By the time this XP build in on Stable there'll be a whole brand new XP build already up an running which will be put back again with delays, it's the same cycle.

 

Severely lacking organisation and communication, and again i'll point out the fact their patchnotes aren't always 100% complete, the last stable patch other than the minor security one was supposed to have Novo, and it didn't?

[Aj90lfc 58]

If you get stuck on waiting for host it's normally a server that's crashed and nobody has noticed to restart it, it happens to my buddies server about 1/2 times a month

You should be keeping up ON THEM. They stated recently that they are essentially rewriting the entire game into a new engine. You will not see an update soon, nor should you expect a push to stable anytime soon. Their recent plan of action is to think about the long term future, and by using the new engine they intend to use it means things that may not have been possible with RV will now be possible. It also means the development timeline just went out the window, and you should expect some delays and silence while they work on the next step.

 

I can say this.. if your patient enough it will be well worth it. I stopped playing a while back and will wait until things move forward. I did so for 2 reasons: I do not want to get burnt out on a game that is really only for testing right now, and why keep playing the same game over and over again when its so far from completion? There are plenty of options and the mod is a great one. I play that. Next major SA update, Ill be back to see what they did. I recommend you do the same.

Had a feeling 0.45 would take much longer than originally anticipated after reading about rubberbanding. Guess it'll be a few more weeks at the very least, but here's to hoping it'll be a little sooner, eh?  :)

Not a big fan of the controls for the mod, i can't stomach the controls, don't know why i just can't play it haha. Can you link me to where they said they were rewriting the engine? Haven't been on much lately because i've had to do multiple fresh installations to diagnose some faults.

[pantsd0wn 49]

Oh man it is absolutely hilarious that the devs have now broken BASIC MOVEMENT...hahahahahahaha!

I cannot get over how incompetent these guys are...holy fuck!

Dude , we understand you're upset , we also have understood your issues with this game since weeks ago . It's not "constructive critisicm" anymore it's just good ol' fashion bitching.

Can't wait to leave this 11 hour shift to get some dayz-ing in before I play The Bouncer all night ;) .. Best solo martial arts game ever lol..

The Bouncer as in the PS2 game? I remember a bouncer game for PS2 called the bouncer don't know if it's the same you're talking about but that game was fucking awesome, also you quoted a neutral post confirming what the problem is for some people and why it happens, that wasn't a bitching. Only thing i've bitched about is the Development speed, other than that i have no complaints.

Played on experimental last night after stables went down for maintenance - I ran for 30 - 40 mins through essentially obstacle courses purposely trying to "snag" on any and everything I could (buildings inside and out, trees, fencing, yadda yadda) - Not once did I have any rubberbanding 

[blackberrygoo 1416]

If there's no rubberbanding tonight on experimental ill thank the mother fudging lordZ.

Edit : said stable instead of experimental :P
