Coheed_IV 381 Posted November 2, 2015 tbh this game is about fireguns. you will not live long enough to get a good melee fighter. someone will find this "one" bullet which fits to his gun and your head.Meh...have we forgotten that there's supposed to be thousands of infected in DayZ? Melee is a huge part of stealth and survival in DayZ. It's been easy for us to forget this in SA alpha, we've never had decent numbers of infected. :( Here's hoping.

themightylc 56 Posted November 2, 2015 You lack patience and perspective. And you can keep your fucking pumpkins, leprechaun outfits, pilgrim hats, santa hats, and similar holiday easter egg garbage out of my game thank you. There is nothing else like DayZ either on the market currently or historically. You've been involved with DayZ for 3 years and brought nothing to the conversation here other than your tears and your short sighted and ignorant criticisms. Give this game another 6 months and posts like yours will be empty pointless speech, long since forgotten.Wow... that's strangely personal. Have to re-read my old posts to see if I'm really that bad. Did you forget they plastered "your" game with christmas trees last year? I guess it was okay then because whatever, right? Because there IS nothing else like DayZ i actually try to keep my chin up about it. But what are you going to tell someone asking you right now "How is DayZ coming along? Any progress worth mentioning?" - "well they fixed the zombies".... Of course there is progress but videos with beard-textures and an completely empty "development calender" on the official website is just begging for cynism.

Noctoras 409 Posted November 2, 2015 I just think you're overlooking any useful situation to suit a frustration of already slow development, but these soft skills have been planned since day 1 by dean himself.! Dean himself. If Dean himself planned to go to toilet before having a beer, it doesn't make it my event of the year either. The rest of your post ... well, either I can pilot it or I cant ... "can't pilot for long haul" - then we should introduce pilot licenses instead of soft skills. Now if we talked about X can pilot a heli an Y cannot, skills start making sense when it comes to gameplay but exactly this is NOT planned. Well, now I am not Dean himself, but I am tired enough myself to go to bed. Sleep tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Wow... that's strangely personal. Have to re-read my old posts to see if I'm really that bad.

Any progress worth mentioning?" - "well they fixed the zombies".... Of course there is progress but videos with beard-textures and an completely empty "development calender" on the official website is just begging for cynism. Everything I said was based on your post here that I quoted and the fact that you've contributed a whopping 42 posts in all that time and the few other posts I've read from you have been far from constructive. I knew you would mention the xmas trees...The Christmas trees were a far cry from outfits or items and looked like fairly simple decoration that didn't require much in the way of resources. When people ask me about the progress that DayZ has made I tell them the truth: "Things are delayed but look very promising for the near future. I do not recommend you buy this game yet unless you have a great interest in broken features that may kill you and nearly unplayable mechanics at times. The current state of the Alpha is so raw that I would say that most people shouldn't even consider joining until Beta. There will come a point in development where I would recommend DayZ and if you like I can let you know when I think that is." This is not personal in any way, it's just fact. I think you need to either read or re-read the status reports, like all of them, and internalize the information within. It's all there, so much more than just a road map, which is a flexible construct at best. I too have been massively frustrated by the perceived lack of progress at times and I took 6 months off from playing because I could find little joy in it. When I came back I found I was more in love with DayZ than ever. Now because I prefer killing infected to killing people I haven't played in about 2 months, and that's ok too.... I'll just be that much more excited for 0.59. Edited November 2, 2015 by BioHaze 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilgrim* 3514 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) - Peter Nespesny / Lead Designer ..//..there is a difference between one click which performs quick attack and continuously charged heavy attack which is performed by releasing the melee button. This allowed us to finally use firearms as melee weapons - bayonet stabs, buttstock hits or pistol whips..//.. scuzați-mă ? Does this mean there will be TWO keys - one key for 'melee' (with any object including guns) and a different key for 'shoot' - to avoid problems with auto fire, for instance, and to avoid having to empty the gun before it 'converts' into a melee weapon? Thanx This is seriously good stuff & much work- I like lifespan/beards! will ladies become straggly-haired? weatherbeaten ? xx Edited November 6, 2015 by pilgrim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avant-Garde 229 Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) tbh this game is about fireguns. you will not live long enough to get a good melee fighter. someone will find this "one" bullet which fits to his gun and your head.Remember that most of the melee fighting will be against zeds. Against players yep I agree, your gonna get shot in the face tbh unless descinc gods are on your side A melee soft skill should be tied to fighting infected only. If I killed a 1,000 infected I might get better at it over time.This tbh, at start of a new char we could have the melee like it is now, one single kind of attack, no parry, no dodge, dumb as a brick. But as you kill more and more zeds, you learn how to "parry" their attacks, how to dodge, how to chain multiple directional attacks, how to feint in order to parry and avoid getting slapped in the face etc, so you could take multiple zeds at the same time, due the fact you "unlock" these abilities that makes you a better melee fighter. Makes you waste less bullets with infected, as giving more playestile choices to deal with this pest. Edited November 11, 2015 by Avant-Garde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
