Stable Branch - 0.57 Discussion

[barnabus 1708]

Flashlights are in 0.57 Stable. I found one in Krasnoe. Sorry, I didn't check to see if it had a battery inside.

I checked, they don't.

[Blackheart 5.56 56]

This here is an example of what is happening to the items you think you loose when putting them down. I have lost a lot of stuff like this.

 

 

 

Good post, I have "lost" stuff like that. Put down a hunter backpack and shotgun inside an officers tent and both items disappeared. Was a bit unhappy since the backpack was full of goodies but when I left I was around the backside of the tent (near where I dropped the stuff) and both were there outside the tent. 

[Excanto 336]

Flashlights still spawn in 0.57 stable, but not batteries.

 

Found one worn in that house, and a damaged one in the house next to this one.

Now if we had a contest on what we threw away the most, wouldn't the flashlight win, coming up in second place is the white glowstick. :-D

[tux (DayZ) 325]

So far as i know the only missing items are barrels and batteries and buttstocks!

 

This buttstock (AKS-74U) I found at Veresnik military base next to the APC outside of the walls. Not sure if this was the buttstock in question.

Well i just got broken legs then instant death standing in a police station next to my wife. Good to see that players can still perform DayZ magic even using the same scripted spell's as in the mod, and things were looking so promising.

This has happened to me three times on multi floor structures. Always when moving from a standing posiiton to a crouch.

 

In the case of the Rify shipwreck, I returned to find my body had actually fallen through the floor to the bottom deck. All my gear was there with the usual ruined shoes and pants w/items.

Has anybody found an AK-74 compatible mag? I cant, for the life of me, find ONE. I've been around (literally, AROUND) the map, Ive checked humvees, Urals, barracks, prisons, tents, everywhere, and I can't find one. I found one SVD mag though, I think it might be a cruel taunt from the DayZ gods. I only killed zombies so far, why must this game be so cruel?? :P

I've got 4 AK-74 mags. Also been lugging around a 75rd drum hoping to find an AKM so I can dump this AK-74. Check guard building front steps after a restart.

If I trusted random strangers, I could likely show you to 5 or 6 of them within the next hour. Go to Novo. Search carefully and may the Force be with you.

There's another one for the AK called a "folding butt stock".  It isn't the same as the one you have pictured there.

Yes, you have to move stuff around at HMMWV wrecks and at the guard shacks.  Sometimes they are hidden under vests or boots.  What you will not find are AK101's or magazine for them.  Military sites are pretty much just deathtraps now since people go there only to find shit is spawning in the barracks now.  Unless you are looking for flares or headlamps or people just to kill barracks are a waste of time.

I've found a few magazines, but haven't seen the gun.

 

BTW - I've found everything I need for a kitted MP5k like the optics, hand rail, weapon flashlight, pistol silencer, and compensator. BUT for the love of ****, where are the buttstocks?

I can't find one either. i found 3 MP5s and acogs in one police station and a like amount in several others but no buttstocks  :huh:

Ihad very bad bug yesterday - gamebreaking bug.

I had sooo strange and bad encounter yesterday, I got into a firfeight with 2 opponents, killed one, exchanged fire with second, we both got hit and bleeding, so I run behind cover and used rags to nadage bleeding, at the same time while animation of bandagind was running - at the same time inside my inventory i deatached clip from ak74 and insert new bullets, then animation of bandaging finished and my character automaticly pickied up ak74 to his hands again, so i pressed R to reload, char did it but ak74 somehow dissapeared from hands.

I tried to take smth else to hands but it seemd that server was thinkinh I have ak74 in hands but client doesnt. So my hands slot was blocked with some virtual item, couldnt take anything to my hands, no method helped me so i must relogged and onbly then  problemd got fixed.

Just found a AKM 30rd mag next to a AK-74 mag on the door step of those yummy buildings where the doors were locked and are now open. Do we have a name for those yet? It's the one with bars on the windows, usually at least one at a military base near the entrance. There are several in big towns. It's like they donated stuff to the goodwill and set a bunch of great stuff outside the door. Problem is there is a lot of stuff and you need to dump a bunch of things so you can pick up a bunch of things to dig through the stuff to get to the buried treasure. OOH SVD 10 round mag, FNX with optical sight and 2 mags, sporter and 30 round mag, high cap vests, pistols, mags, food, lights, boots, smersh..OMG!!!  Now you need to keep a sharp eye on others closing in for the kill, don't forget your stuff in the bushes. One run, I ended up with much better stuff then the junk in the bushes and I put my junk back on the porch and left. The AK-74 mag is bronze colored so it is hard to miss. The MP5 with a 30 round mag and acog scope is pretty fun. I dumped a 75 round akm mag into a backpack in a car cause I can't eat it.

Hehehe.  We changed A because it caused a problem with B, then we found C was too long because we changed A, D works ok but it's still causing B to not get along with A. Now that C is working well, F has started to become unstable so we decided to go back to default A and delete B entirely. Now F just will not function because F just seems to miss B and we think C is jealous of the relationship between F and B, so we created G and it only cares about itself so it is no help at all. OK done.

 

THIS is one of my favorite post´s in this forum!

Did not know if I should cry or laugh .......... but´s the truth.

The other side, it makes no sense to discuss with fanboy´s ........... if thing´s are worst, they are worst.

 

Short question ....... your car (in RL) did not run. You bring it to a workshop. The SPECIALIST says no prob, it´s the battery.

They change the battery and you paid for it.

Some hours later, the car won´t run anymore. It was not the battery, it was the generator. You have to pay that again.

You happy? No? In any case, I would not trust THIS workshop in future any more.

 

Attempt and mistake is not the work of an expert ........ and when it happen , should one own the size to apologise and do not try to sell it as artificial.

 

BTW, development is a improvement, not a deterioration ........

 

 

DayZ is a HORROR SURVIVAL GAME. That´s not my discription!

What´s the HORROR in? More Weapons? No. More Vehicles? No. More crap? No. In my opinion, the Zombies.

What´s the SURVIVAL in? Find complete gear within minutes? Surely not. In my opinion, the chance to starve, to die of thirst, to be killed by frost or head and so on.

We don´t need more stuff or models, we need lesser loot, harder to survive (the environment). PvP is just a little dot on the I.

If not ...... let´s call CS:GO, BF, CoD survival games too.

Someone said F2 to raise your hands to clear a stuck weapon, well I had an issue with a mp5 stuck and did the F2 and it went on my back and then my hands were stuck empty and nothing could go in and I F2 again and boom, it went green and I could move stuff again. F2 saved me from a rushing zombie.

You can put stuff in cars?

[d0pesen 17]

We don´t need more stuff or models, we need lesser loot, harder to survive (the environment).

after more then 1,5 years of development you still didn't realize wahts dayz is about and what the devs here are doing? 

 

dayz is like a big table with ingredients, and the devs are now putting more and more ingredients to it. after they have all ingredients they wanted to have, they need to check that all will work with each others and the performance sitting on that table is the best they can get.

 

after all is working perfect the cooks (admins of private servers) are coming and mixing all ingredients they want for dinner together and you as a guest are welcome to sit on this table to enjoy the meal.

 

so, we will have in futures a lot of servers with completely differents balanced loot, weapon- and foodtables, time of day, animals, amount of zombies, aggrostatus of zombies and so on.

 

yes, it will be possible that you can join a server and there are no mordern weapons that spawn, perhaps also no food, just you against the wilderness with bow, stoneknife and axe.

 

this is what the devs are now making possible, the balanced later will be done by admins of private servers.

 

additional there will be modsupport, so what we are testing now is just the basic of what need to be working for a full sandbox of infinity possibilities.

Are there any planned hotfixes to clean up the lootsplosion problems or do we have to wait for .58?

[randomspawn 215]

Plan on waiting until .58. The Dev's have proven that the loot system is very hard to fix, as they entirely skipped .56 and crippled .57 due to the issues. I don't think a simple hotfix can remedy that.You might be waiting until .59 or .60, just sit back and wait.

Plan to wait longer than .58.....

Im too lazy to search all posts, but I have few questions: a) where Kashtan scope spawns? b) where AK bayonet spawns (if spawns) and can it be used for gutting animals? 

[GaryWalnuts 1680]

Im too lazy to search all posts, but I have few questions: a) where Kashtan scope spawns? B) where AK bayonet spawns (if spawns) and can it be used for gutting animals? 

I've seen the Kashtan scope around tanks like the one at vybor or the northern convoy and I've also seen one on prison island in the larger room with the conference table.

and I have not seen one bayonet anywhere ...   :huh:

No point in discussing alpha with someone who doesn't understand alpha.

The current loot system, besides being incomplete, should spawn a fair amount of loot, you may not see the project as a single puzzle being pieced together separately at first, but thanks to the art of programming (this is not fixing a car, it's designing a car) the components can't all just be thrown in at the same time. It's funny you like that A to B to C to A post, but still complain, because that's pretty much the definition of modern game design. It's called Agile, and it means the requirements and possibility change over time, demanding a cyclical process to make the game work successfully.

 

What's missing, "Lesser loot, harder survives"? They know that, it's probably at the top of the design document. You need to do more research on the game, on the systems yet to be put in, like:

 

Stamina! You wont be able to get anywhere without living off the land, carrying multiple rifles will slow you down and tire you out, weight for each item will be in place so armor+drum mags+sights+food will mean walking, and maybe 30 seconds of sprinting. Forests will become death traps for the unprepared, towns will be gambles, the coast will be inhospitable, weather and temperature will force you to seek shelter and spend time remedying problems. But you can't put this stuff in without a good system to spawn rations, clothing items, crafting, vehicles, with server architecture, a faster client, and persistence.

 

You didn't pay a mechanic to fix your car, you put the initial investment into a new mode of transport: so be patient and stop filling the air with spite and impatient impotence.

Yeah I was more asking is this a hotfix issue to fix things such as all the TTSKOs spawning at prison etc or is it a wider problem, the CLE is major, major change so difficulties are expected

Thanks for the tip, I'll head to the nearest one and move the stuff around. I think they're called guard houses, not sure if its official though
