0.64 Freerider 261 Posted July 13, 2019 Hi guys, the SCUM-Team has implemented archery in their game and I'm surprised at how detailed it is. Bows have been confirmed to be made available in DayZ on numerous occasions, the most official one, being the list below. Check out the video guys, would you like it to be implemented in such detailed fashion in DayZ as well? Quote EXCERPT FROM OFFICIAL STATUS REPORT "Status Report - 23 October 2018" [https://forums.dayz.com/topic/240439-status-report-23-october-2018/] Features and improvements planned for BETA/1.0, or originally in 0.62, but moved post 1.0 Helicopters 🔲 we've arrived at the decision that base building implementation will provide enough of an end goal for players, so helicopters can be added later on Climbing over obstacles 🔲 this feature required additional programming and animation support that we've decided to invest more effectively into other parts of the game Throwing items ✅ throwing requires a lot of additional specialist work on physics and network synchronization, and we'd rather invest that into vehicles and other features this includes throwable weapons like grenades or smoke grenades Bows 🔲 the implementation of bows means an introduction of a completely new weapon type on 0.63 and was always a risky goal, in the end unfortunately not achievable in 2018; we've invested the programming time into gun play, melee combat, vehicles and other core features that were more important Character and infected ragdoll 🔲 unfortunately, there are many network synchronization cases that we need to resolve and implementing ragdolls in combination with death animations will require more time and resources Two-way doors 🔲 while a huge quality of life improvement, changing the doors to two way opening will require additional rework of some of the assets, and is not achievable in 2018 Fishing and fish traps, decaying bodies, carrying characters, contaminated areas, item coloring etc. 🔲 🔲 🔲 🔲 these are considered flavor features and for now, work on core gameplay features was prioritized instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be enough for me personally as well. Nonetheless it's impressive what the SCUM-devs did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because from the little info I have, Scum just looks like a much better version of DayZ, design-wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does look better and some ideas are more well thought out then in dayz. But the spawn point system and cheaters are just as crap as in dayz. If scum was more like dayz i would play scum. If dayz was more like scum i would play dayz. Because both suck in their current form i would play neither. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathosky 119 Posted July 15, 2019 Watching this really makes me want bows in DayZ. It has to be awesome making your own improvised bow and arrows to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that the throwing mechanic is back in the game, hopefully bows and arrows aren't far behind since it's essentially the same type of motion -- you use the bow to "throw" the arrow, kind of. The tricky part for them might be how to code having the arrow attach itself to a player or to one of the AI if your shot is on. Bullets register damage, but give no visual reference other than ruining clothes/gear and of course, making you bleed, whereas an arrow strike should register visually, so having it become an attachment somehow to show that your shot hit might be difficult. Another issue could be the arrow falling through the map in the case of missed shots that hit the ground. I hope it's the case that an arrow that missed its target can be picked up by the target and fired back at the sender -- how cool would that be -- someone tires to kill you with his arrow and you pick it up, then grab your bow and kill him with it instead. I'm sure there's still lots of work to be done on bows and arrows, but I'm hoping we get them back in the game sometime before the end of the year. All I want for Christmas is a bow and arrow battle in Namalsk -- that's not much to ask for, is it? 😋 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was mainly faithful to Dayz because of Chernarus, the best map I've ever seen. So what can you tell me about the SCUM map? I heard it's a big one, too. But size is not the only thing that matters, is it any interesting? With the current SR, I'm thinking it's time to pack my rucksack and head to another world.
