Hunting ~end of may

[tinroofer 23]

Hmmm, I would imagine that the limit for these animals per server will be somewhat low - relatively speaking, and if so I would hope that the spawns are spread out across huge areas of the map, and that they don't spawn in herds.

My worry would be a very small pathing area, creating large almost static groups of animals, which snipers would then swiftly turn into cemeteries as players steamed into the hot zones to hunt and got their heads blown off.

This would be even further compounded if there were fixed points for groups to spawn at server restart.

Anyway, very excited to see how things go, and hope the paranoia while hunting won't be too much :D

[Pandafish 60]

hopefully the animals arent broken like the zombies are..

[So Sexy 259]

Actually no we weren't. That was for Q2, you need to check your eyes. ;D

OT: Why the hell is everyone so negative? Gosh, bunch of depressed peeps in this thread. Anyways, I am excited for this update to come at the end of May.  :beans:

 

Oh, it just showed some pictures of crossbows, and I thought that....Oh well, nevermind then.

end of may… right

I saw a rabbit! I saw a rabbit run up the western slope just north of Myshkino (between the village proper and the lone houses north). First I thought it was a Zed who noclipped the slope but I could see it clearly through the binos. I did take a screenshot and did try to shoot it with my rifle, but either I missed or it couldn't be shot. Sadly I forgot about the screenshot and turn off my comp after playing.

rabbits are in the game since the beginning.

and they are invincible xD

 

also, they are playerspedicific.

so if player1 sees a rabbit, player2 doesn't see one.

[ld-airgrafix 403]

I really hope it's put well together, last thing we want glitches, I know it will be alpha standards but hopefully basics like killing work. Which brings to a question, what do we do with all the raw meat???? Is cooking being implemented at the same time??

Ahh damn it. I thought I was on to something. 

[dallas 5195]

I predict Arma 2 animals.

 

aka static objects that occasionally move 3 or 4 feet in one direction and are completely ignorant of explosions or players nearby.

 

Do not underestimate ArmA 2 animals.

 

[DropBearChick 1217]

I hoped you murderererd those ai for executing an innocent cow like that.

[Hopix 44]

I doubt the animals will be as dumb as in Arma II, they will react to gunshot and player proximity by running the opposite way.

[Karmaterror 982]

Guys....this feature will inherently bring a plethora of glitches....expect it lol

 

The features have to go in to create the bugs. Real major bugs would be addressed now, but a lot will linger till the bug fix drive that is beta...be prepared.

 

Im really excited to see this feature. Im sure those herds are just for show pics. In the mod most animals spawned one at a time. Sometimes you would see 2 mayyybe 3 if ya knew where to look.

 

Wandering what tools we will need to actually get food from them, many times I shot a sheep in the mod...then realised I didn't have a knife....or no matches. Hopefully some things will be multi-use. So we could use an axe head to gut it, but just like opening a can, the results wouldn't be as good as say a hunting knife. That way having the right tool is rewarding, but its not the end of the world if you aint got it. Survival is improvisation ;)

[Hopix 44]

This is alpha, expect major bugs and crashes until it's in beta.

;P

I want the sheep to be poorly animated..have no AI whatsoever and just endlessly spin in place.

 

I want them to float in the air like the vehicles in Arma!

[jubeidok 495]

Animals? Great, one more thing that will outnumber the zombies in this game. Woot!

 

 

Zombies are going to be extinct by the time this thing goes beta.

 

The worst part about it is that some people are cheering/excited about adds like this. We should all be pissed that there are no zombies, but no, let's instead all celebrate the implementation of hunting!

yep. Ran off airfield into Balota proper and had 6 zeds attacking me before I got to first building. I got upstairs but I saw both my tac shirt and assault vest go from pristin to badly damaged in about 6 secs. I parked it and logged for the day. Now i gotta go find a sewing kit.

Anyone wanna trade a sewing kit for a pristine LRS?

1PP or 3PP? Also, your assault vest cannot be mended. :3 Another thing is what color is your tac shirt? An actually....I wish I had a sewing kit but I have yet to find one since this new patch.

[Deathlove 2286]

The pathfinding will be AMAZING.........

Just regular servers, 3PP. I had a black tac shirt, black cargo pants and black assault vest. but alas, I got wasted at the Airfield today. I shot him too, but I don't think he died. My new spawn was up in the new town by Svet, and I found a new sewing kit there.
