Stable Branch - 0.57 Discussion

[Tatanko 5591]

Are sardines the only fish in the game right now? So only ocean fishing? I've been wanting to try fishing some of the inland ponds I've seen around. Surely there should be some freshwater fish?

Carp are still in the game. They never went away  :P They can be prepared into fillets, which can then be cooked properly and eaten.

Carp, sounds delicious. Guess you can't be too picky during an apocalypse!  :P

Mackerel will soon be available as well. For right now, fishing in freshwater requires a rod and fishing in saltwater requires a trap. I think the idea is to eventually be able to do both things in both types of water.

Guys:

 

I apologize if this was asked before, havent been able to find it: are the fishing nets spawning at all in the 0.57?.   Having a hard time to find them.

 

Thank You.

The best clue I have heard so far is that a couple of boats always have them. I was thinking about risking a swim to prison island and check those after a restart. Also there is that village way NE corner and it was a nice place last or before patch ago :-) There are several boats I have seen on the coast. Never seen any boats inland. It's been some time since I have seen a net. Actually last time I could find them, I had overheated terribly in a full ghillie suit with hat and gun cover which was a big pile of strips and nets to make. Not very stealth, swamp thing sitting in a pond.

*cries* and yes they are tears of joy!

Loot is spawning at a restart because persistence is off. They are trying to fix the REspawning of loot, not the spawning. It is a big difference mate. ;)

 

wait a second...

 

Will dropped items also count as 'loot' and therfor despawn after a while? Or is it just for untouched stuff?

[VVarhead 185]

I've played this quite a lot lately, I don't know how much of those bugs have been stated but I'll try to keep it short:

 

- When having something in your hands, you can't use the quickslots (1,2,3, etc.) to drop the item and equip the item in the quickslot.

 

- Clothing barely seems to spawn, and if it spawns, it spawns in masses and nothing else really spawns in that building

 

- some items just don't spawn

 

- Russian Helicopters seem to spawn no weapons at all (??)

 

.- sometimes the weapons of my mates are invisible and are lying on the ground somewhere when they actually have them equipped and can shoot with them, this has not happened prior to the update

 

- when running through an apple-field at dawn the sky suddenly turns bright-blue and the sun turns brighter, aswell, and it looks like it's broad day, as soon as you leave the field, it changes back.

Untouched stuff stays on the ground. If you pick untouched stuff up and throw it down somewhere else, most of it will despawn. So yes, dropped down stuff will also despawn after quite a while.

 

Well I'm done with this until the next patch or persistence is fixed.

Mostly this is because there is absolutely no point in testing anything other than PvP related mechanics in this patch. Yeah the new stuff is great and all, but whats the point? By the time you find half of it you realize you have no where to store any of it. Yeah you could keep it on you but then someone comes along and puts a bullet in you, or embeds an axe in the back of your head at a water pump. Then the stuff you did manage to find is now completely gone. Or while in the middle of testing out some of the non-combat mechanics your server resets and you're back to square one.

So instead of experiencing an innovative take on an FPS/MMO/SiM you're left quickly gathering up guns to go to Electro, Cherno,or ect... so you can shoot anything that moves.

I mean why bother with anything more? What's the point after an hour your bored anyway waiting for the obligatory reset to try and get more guns,ammo,food and meds rinse repeat.You might as well be playing BattleFail or Call of Dookie. So based on my experience your guns function passably well. Your collision math sucks and so far the snarky and elitist forum admins are pretty much useless. No one wants to read through all those useless posts or could even hope to do so. When a question is asked why not just give them the link to the post, or even answer it. I mean you're the Forum God- you should know, right? At least that is what you expect from those who dare post on your forums. Speaking of which, who in there right mind other than those who live on these forums could find anything here. Hell, my wife has been trying to register on them for the past two weeks and still has not got a response as to why she cant much less any help. The contact e-mail address is invalid and her e-mails were returned to her. How's that for taking care of the community?

On a side note the use of the term stable in an alpha test should be banned. It kind of sends the wrong message don't you think? You could save yourselves a lot of trouble just by that one thing. I mean really, you guys are working on fixing what you call a "stable" release and I imagine your next "experimental" release. What are you doing? Why split your work force and focus on 2 developmental versions of the game. release one, test the hell out of it. take what you learn, and apply it to the next. Its like your trying to cater to all the "we want more" crap with extra releases, or even more earlier access sales, knock it off. We all love this game, obviously, or we would not have invested so much time playing it over the years or, invested money into its development as a stand alone game. Yes I know its in Alpha, and I know there will be bugs and problems. So make it easier on yourselves and stop trying to feed two different beasts. Do everyone a favor and shoot one and feed it to the other.

Be more careful and don't go to the big cities.

I try to keep it exciting, only searching for the stuff I need, to get my dream kit. These things keep you going and doesn't make you bored anymore.

And I guess you don't know the role of a forum moderator and what stable and experimental is. The forum moderators need to watch the forums for bad guys and people who disobey the rules.

As for stable and experimental: there are 3 stages of developing for DayZ at the moment. There is the internal build which is only accessible to the team of DayZ. Next comes the experimental build which is available to the people who choose to test there. These builds at experimental are sometimes very unstable (no pun intended), you can expect crashing, possible lost of items, sudden deaths, etc. They try to remove the most gamebreaking parts out of there (like the memory crashes last experimental). Then it goes to stable which is there for everyone to test. It still can have some gamebreaking issues but they aren't so severe as the ones in the experimental build.

So there you have it, the development stage of DayZ.

I've been to both of those spots after restarts.  Didn't see anything on the boats.  I'm certain I was the first one Berezhiki.  90% I was first to PI.

i haven't gone through every post in this thread, so please excuse me if it have been pointed out before.

Is it me, or is there no batteries and fruits/vegetables in the game anymore? i miss batteries.

also mp5 buttstock is nowhere to be found

Across from prison island on the mainland there are about 10 boats in the area of Kamenka / Komarovo, netting is definitely spawning there.

My understanding is that fruits and vegetables are not in this build, and that batteries and MP5 stocks (among other things) are not spawning. 

[Veyda 195]

Not sure if was discussed yet — bullet penetration (terminal ballistics). 
 
In one of the recent WOBO streams, a bunch of people lined up one behind another and a Mosin was fired in a way that would cause the bullet to go through at least a couple of them.
Only the first person died.
 
Which probably shows this is ARMA II, not ARMA III, bullet physics. Is this an oversight or a feature to you?
 
Speaking of ARMA III ballistics —

 

…yes, I am a gun nut…   :blush:

We havent had a devblog in a while, so far I think we've missed 2 weekly updates. Any news of those?

That was probably one of the most informative things I've watched. Thanks for showing that! :D

Well, that is one of my main hunts right now. At least I have the food and water to trek the map. Perhaps I will have to start shooting bushes, until one goes "Eeeaaahhaww" and falls over.

Yes and several other items.

Not sure if was discussed yet — bullet penetration (terminal ballistics).  -snip-

 

I would like to see this implemented as in-depth as possible.

 

We should be able to exert better crowd control with firearms, shoot through many types of walls, and vehicle skins as well.

 

I would also like to see craft-able moderate bullet proofing at the expense of speed for some types of vehicles. (Plate steel in/on a pick-up truck door type of thing...)

If one has the statusbar glitch i think you never wake up from unconsciousness even if fully healthy.. Need to test again.

Netting is spawning. I gathered this up when I did a coastal sweep from corner to corner and back. I did this over the course of two days and in 4 sessions. I began each session after a restart.  I figured there are approximately 33 boat spawn locations. Some are very close to each other and could be considered one location but were separated enough for me to call it.  Most boat locations are coastal but you can also find them at Black Lake.

 BTW, now that I’ve completed the run, if anyone wants netting let me know.  I have no desire to make a ghillie suit. Without persistence I need my backpack to carry my garbage.  This is a 1PP character and I have no burlap.
