Very Ape 748 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Vehicles. It's important because of vehicles. It's all about the physics engine; throwing is like a by-product of that. That's why I think the devs time was well spent. Edited April 23, 2014 by Very Ape 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muddyraccoon 176 Posted April 23, 2014 Throwing makes me happy, especially on 100 man servers, where there are a dozen or so freshies fist-fighting near Soli's suicide cylinder. Just get on top with your pockets full of rotten fruit, and start chucking. I threw an SKS bayonet, and I felt like I almost crashed the server. Other than that, great success!

holdt@hotmail.com 12 Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe it's a stupid question, but why is throwing significant progress in DayZ, when physics/throwing/driving cars already exist in Arma II's engine? I know it's not the exact same engine, but I can't seem to get my head around why they apparently have to invent the same thing twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I think the devs time was well spent. That's a very good point, noted. Maybe it's a stupid question, but why is throwing significant progress in DayZ, when physics/throwing/driving cars already exist in Arma II's engine? I know it's not the exact same engine, but I can't seem to get my head around why they apparently have to invent the same thing twice.Indeed. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the matter could fill us in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's not the exact same engine, but I can't seem to get my head around why they apparently have to invent the same thing twice. Because the driving in Arma II kinda sucks. It's not terrible, but DayZ can do better; and so the devs will make it happen. That's just fine by me, personally. I can imagine many situations where throwing will make player interaction better. You can throw vital items to your friend who is pinned down, toss food to someone whose building you've besieged but are trying to coax into being friendly, or surrender your weapons to someone who has besieged your building (by his demand) in a vain effort to spare your own life.

Pokerguy12 218 Posted April 23, 2014 The new tactical weaponry, lag inducing fps crumbling device, throw at enemies to slow down their relative observation of time, temporarily paralyzes if enemy is running a low spec pc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't thought of that! It's true that each improvement made to the game engine adds a million new possibilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broseph_Stalin 0 Posted April 27, 2014 to make it more useful, they could add a sort of "quick throw" system where you press a key to put something straight into your hand. it would greatly assist looters imo because it would allow some people to sit outside while the others run in and throw things to them to be sorted through and packed up.
