MLG420blazeit 62 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Why are they still in the game? Random sounds of opening cans, loading ammo, and random sounds buildings... Only sounds apart from wind and birds chirping should be player made! EDIT: To make it clearer, I don't mean the actual sounds of reloading, but the sound file being RANDOMLY played regardless of situation.

blacklabel79 949 Posted June 20, 2014 These are still in the game? I aint played for a while.. Can someone kindly PM me when this game becomes worth the money I paid for it? In 1-2 Years after release maybe ? What Kind of post is this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dchil 829 Posted June 20, 2014 The funny thing is that i've played the newest patch for a few hours and I haven't heard a single sound which wasn't warranted. I thought it had happened once but a zombie turned up 30 seconds later. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No zombies anywhere and you still hear them... Dafuq. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckFuts 265 Posted June 20, 2014 In 1-2 Years after release maybe ? What Kind of post is this ? Sorry but 1-2 years is a hell of a long time in gaming, especially in this day and age where new hardware and games are being pumped out constantly. I would assume Dayz will be a dinosaur in two years. You should hope your estimation is wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneboys 7988 Posted June 20, 2014 What Kind of post is this ?Troll post, go check his first and only Topic, the rest follows suite... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabel79 949 Posted June 20, 2014 Anyways..on the OT: the "drinking" noise is the most disturbing, but after some time you figure if ist not followed by a "gulp" Sound ist random "ambient" Sound. I just pretend my char goes crazy, thus Hearing random sounds :D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckFuts 265 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Troll post, go check his first and only Topic, the rest follows suite... No, it wasn't a troll post, to 'YOU' maybe it can be perceived as such but I don't expect anyone who is connected in some way to the game such as yourself to do anything but defend it and belittle anyone who speaks against it and that's OK if you feel you must. One thing though, perhaps, you should follow your own forum rules and not incite a potential flame war. Also OT.. These are exactly the niggling things within the game that seriously put people off playing it, as such, one would think this issue would have been addressed by now.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted June 20, 2014 Sorry but 1-2 years is a hell of a long time in gaming, especially in this day and age where new hardware and games are being pumped out constantly. I would assume Dayz will be a dinosaur in two years. You should hope your estimation is wrong. 1-2 years is a long time to develop a game? It takes 2 years to develop a CoD game and that's pretty much a copy/paste job with new maps and weapons and a huge dev team. o.O 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted June 20, 2014 As has been said many a time, there are various departments that look after certain parts of the SA. The sound guys are no doubt working on new sounds and effects but they haven't been implemented yet. Is this really such a serious issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Testnewbie 34 Posted June 20, 2014 The random sounds freak me out more often than not and I don´t really understand why they are in. I mean, those rabbits making ZED sounds while jumping are somewhat funny but the ghost footsteps are terrifying! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etherimp 1323 Posted June 20, 2014 As has been said many a time, there are various departments that look after certain parts of the SA. The sound guys are no doubt working on new sounds and effects but they haven't been implemented yet. Is this really such a serious issue? Yes, actually, it is an incredibly serious problem. In a game based on tension, suspense, horror, split second decisions, perception, and situation awareness, SOUND sets as much of the stage as GRAPHICS. Imagine playing any AAA title without the sound and imagine how different that game would be. Imagine competitive counter-strike/league of legends/starcraft matches where the players had ALL sound muted... It would be unthinkable. How would you feel about DayZ if you got constant visual artifacts? Random audio artifacts are no different, and it severely impacts the playability of the game. Sound/hearing is incredibly important and it is one of the major nagging issues that I hope gets sorted out.. Above vehicles, above persistent storage, above another town, more weapons, or more crafting recipes.. This "bug/glitch" has been present since the initial release of Standalone.. that's over 6 months. No graphic bug has been present that long. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RDogg 42 Posted June 20, 2014 The random sounds are not intentional. Apparently these are other sounds from other players in other areas but are broken. We tested this by reloading, drinking, etc .. While being a mile away from my friend and I could hear him. If anyone seriously thought these sounds were intentional, I'd be concerned.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RDogg 42 Posted June 20, 2014 Also this never happened in the Mod, ever. I can assure anyone of that and suggest you go play the Mod for a couple hours if you don't believe me. There are ambient sounds I.e. Branches breaking, birds, banging on metal, but the random sounds in SA are a different issue and it is nit intentional. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, we never thought they were intentional. That's why they need to be fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RDogg 42 Posted June 20, 2014 Ok, just the impression I got was that. But overall, it ruins immersion and is generally annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLG420blazeit 62 Posted June 20, 2014 You know what random sound needs to go? This random branch crack sound in the forest. Yeah and the weird metal bangs that are made by metal sheds/houses. WTF are those anyway. Those sorts of sounds should be caused only by other players. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We tested this by reloading, drinking, etc .. While being a mile away from my friend and I could hear him. If anyone seriously thought these sounds were intentional, I'd be concerned.. That makes me wonder if perhaps everyone is linked, maybe when your leg randomly breaks it's because someone else playing on the server had a leg break? Or a situation where they should have broke their leg, but the leg breaking happened to someone else.I know I've fallen off a couple of buildings and been fine anyway... Anyway yeah I find this really annoying, especially when you're hiding in a bush surveying an airfield or something before running in and you hear a can opening like someone is standing right next to you in the bush and freak out.Or random zombies they're probably the worst, in an open field where there's clearly no zombies suddenly you hear one >.< or when you're chowing down on some sweet tactical bacon you've been saving and think one is about to run through the wall and murder you... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
