THE BOW FIX IT

 

At some point in the next 20 months, they will.

 

Why is it necessary to say it like that?

Well because at this point in time, it doesn't work at all and functions as a decorative piece for one fist. It is necessary to say it like that to get peoples attention, sure got your attention with all of them caps didn't it?

It's ok... alot of us feel like frustrated little kids at times with dayz development.. however most of us try to have some moral restraint to saying silly stuff with a budget picture. I have never used a bow and have no idea of what is wrong with it..

I definitely like how the zombies don't automatically wreck your stuff and I DEFINITELY like the stealthy aspect, but I really think their tracking should be reduced by a little. It really seems like they're following a scent or something. Also, the hunger needs to be slowed down a bit. I can definitely keep a player alive, but it's ridiculous having to eat so much. I don't think it's realistic at all. I also wish that you had the ability to rotate certain items for easier storage because it makes sense.

 

I really wish they would stop adding features and just finish the game by fixing all of the bugs. The modding community could then take over because I think they could honestly do a better job in some ways... and people would still buy it.

 

Look at Garry's Mod, Skyrim... oh, and that other big one... Minecraft!

I think this proves my point in some ways. Why are they working on stuff like this?

Different teams/individuals are responsible for different areas of the game's development. Has NOTHING to do with priority.

Heres my two cents after countless hours on .55!

 

-Zombies are stronger now

-Melee weapons=ineffective, 5-6 hits. Head hit = 1 hit

-Dodging zombies is ineffective. Either run away (tire quickly), lock in house (close door with zombie inside) or shoot (will attract players/zombies)

-Tents are still broken

-Loot is hard to find! Check cars (apts north of cherno, north of novy sobor, north side of map cities), check outhouses (moon on door), deerstands!!! [izurvive dot com is the site i use]

-Crashed UAZ's currently spawn guns (jeep with open top)

-Your clothes will get ruined. Zombies tend to go for headgear and pants first

-More zombies now

-Stealth works to a certain extent, keep 20m away, they will not see. Also if they are not turned your way sprint behind them (not too close tho)

-If a zombie is near you, his hentai tenticles will hit you with no mercy

-Cannot cook animal meat without a pot or pan, however you can eat raw meat if in dire need! Chance of getting food poisoning, can be cured with charc tabs.

-Cars will leak gas if front two wheels are destroyed, when you crash your shoes and pants will get ruined

-Police stations often spawn guns, clothing, handcuffs, and the .55 infamous mp5/9mm rounds

-Heli Crashes are bugged! Personally not finding loot at them, reports online say they are not spawning loot anymore. All are stuck in particular locations

EDIT: Heli's are still spawning loot--(ShoobieStomper)

-You can grow food! (Need:bottled water, digging device [shovel, pickax, hoe], fertilizer [to speed up growing], and seeds [tomato,bellpepper,pumpkin]) Takes 10min with fertilizer. Some plants may grow and be spoiled, plants will get spoiled if you do not pick them right when they are ripe. Cannot cut seeds out anymore

 

 

Alright guys! Thats all for now. If this helped you throw me some beans, or head over to my twitch to see some gameplay and ask for some tips. 

 

Good Luck out there, 

Stay Sharp

Well, I understand that part, but with that... do you think this is something the game NEEDS? It seems like wasted energy given how the game is right now... kill on sight.

 

So players and KoS you with greater ease.

 

:lol:

 

Haha :-) That was my first thought! "Hey, here I am... shoot me!" ;-)

[barnabus 1708]

Alrighty then.  I have my carrier completed, pouches, holster, the works.  I add my CR 75 fill all the pouches and go for a drive.  Now the CR 75 had been badly damaged when it was in an HC vest that got ruined by a zed.  I had gone all over the frigging map looking for a repair kit. I find one two times and both those get ruined from zed hits.  Third was the charm though, finally get back, repair the pistol, repair the vest.  Once I complete my drive from point a to point b make two stops along the way and do not get attacked by zed or player enroute.  I notice, at my destination, that the carrier, all that was attached to it and all that it contained have completely disappeared.  I even retraced my route completely, no live people except me were on the server even and I find NOTHING.

 

 

Argh, dammit, FUBAR, BOHICA, SNAFU

 

So I reported it here.

So far the only maps I've found have been the Western portion, anyone find the north, south or east bits?

 

I have made several complete maps so far.  I always like to have one on me.

I spoilered your image but in regards to it, in the future...please don't.

Nope. I found Crashsite after some hours of playing on one server, it had M4 and some attachments.

(And after server restart the crashsite dissapeared)

Don't know it it is common knowledge, so here we go ... I think in the past you needed a cooking pot for a fire and a frying pan for a gas stove. Now the cooking pot also works on gas stoves. Also the stove part is two slots and a big gas canister is also 2 slots, combined .... again 2 slots.

 

And you can put stuff into a cooking pot, 4 slots, so the pot itself does not really use up any slots if you do that. Have not tested a frying pan...

 

EDIT: also the puking exploit is real now ... planted a patch of pumpkins and at them all ... like 9 or so ... you eat and puke and you end up with all the energy, probably maxed out at 20000. Looked into the feedback and did not find a matching one, so if you don't think eating a patch of pumpkins should be rewarded with maxed out energy: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=23836 ... no idea if it should be high priority, but if the game now gets supposedly harder by making food supposedly more scarce, then I think it is.

whats peoples thoughts on...

 

while holding down your right mouse button instead of raising your melee weapon... it blocks?

while blocking with your 1h/2h... u can click the mouse left button and nudge/push/bash?

 

a game i play atm does it and it makes combat unique in situations.

 

fighting zombies would be so much more interesting.. could even help to manage hordes?

 

*patch is awesome*

How the controls will be set is secondary, but the melee features are a start, but they are working on stuff like that if I read other posts here correctly. Problem is I think we need great netcode for it work. I don't think you should be able to manage hordes that way, they should surround you and mess you up big time if you allow them to.

I've actually started to master new pickaxe martial arts against the new zombies and can actually avoid some attacks. It's more than just circling and relies heavily on exploiting stagger effects but it's a promising start. Fought two of them at the same time and came out of it with only a couple hits and no damaged gear.

[pillpopper123 41]

I deleted the game. This game is shit . I want my money back .

 

I will send you a check... :)

Out of curiosity: how old are you?

 

I get a feeling Dayz is becoming a lot less attractive to younger players, which is a good thing, imho. Arma was never a game for kids, and I enjoyed it a lot (before the mods ^^). After the mods got released, I was sniped in Arma 2 at our own base by a guy called "Dayzsniper"; or run over by our own guys. I tried to play again, but basically Arma 2 had become unplayable thanks to the mod. 14 year olds need different games. CS:GO is fine, or LOL or whatever lifts their skirt. Arma and Dayz are 18+ year games, you should not even own them...

 

 

  I notice, at my destination, that the carrier, all that was attached to it and all that it contained have completely disappeared.  

 

Did you check if it didn't just become invisible? By moving something else around in the tent, I often see things pop up again that I couldn't see before. It's unclear where you put the plate carrier (ground, tent, backpack), so it's difficult to tell what might have gone wrong.

-The Zombies still OP or is there another problem fatter behind (with a 0 desynchronization and 50/60 ping hit me as if it were a punching bag for 3 or 4 feet away) I find it impossible to kill without leave me ruined and also is very difficult because pierce lock the doors and walls (I think it is time to fix this bug and optimize famous netcode)

-The Loot is very rare (sometimes I find some things but most servers are sometimes deserts and find nothing) military zones are meaningless if no loot appears in them

Conclusion: I keep finding that the loot is not correct and that the netcode needs a good improvement and game performance is a disaster (with fx6300, 270x, 8GB DDR3 and SSD crucial 1600 MX100) going to 10/20 fps in many areas and 30/40 fps in areas with less load or "better optimized" and all this with shadows and disabled antialiasing and more things (hopefully not go 100 fps but at least not lose 40/60 fps) and the game is not playable for me.

I saw a deer stuck in the running animation trying to run up a hill that wasn't even steep.

 

I've also seen an infected stuck trying to run uphill as well.

 

Thankfully, I do not believe I had it happen to my character.... sounds awful.

 

Yeah its really annoying especially if you're in a heated situation where the last thing you want is to see your character stuck trying to go up an incline. I created a feedback tracker on the issue here:http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=23848

 

Feedback Tracker ID: 0023848

 

Here is a link to the video I made. I only show on road in this one but its happening to me off road too. Pretty much any incline I get stuck at some point:

Well had a play of 0.55 build, even though there has been alot of complaints about lack of loot/food I find this build the best yet!

The lack of loot reminds me of old DayZ mod times now which is refreshing, everything seems like a new learning curve to survive.

 

Infected A.I is getting alot better!

 

There has always been complaints about them running fast, but until we can see increase population of infected I think they should stay this quick.
