WishYourLife 6 Posted March 27, 2022 There's a variety of items for vehicle maintanance in DayZ, but most of them never see any use. When you crash a car in DayZ even at lower speeds, there is still a good chance you will ruin the engine, the front tires ruin or a bodypart ruins. In my opinion this needs to be changed. We have a pipe wrench, a tire repair kit and epoxy putty in game yet you rarely get to use these as the vehicles are way too fragile and engine, tires and bodyparts will just straight up break beyond the point of repair in most crashes. The way I would balance this is make vehicles with a damaged engine have less power and traction, damaged tires would make your vehicle hard to control, and using epoxy putty on a bodypart would leave visual patches of white epoxy on the bodypart similar to how the damage texture is applied. Your car and it's parts wouldn't break as easily, but instead suffer from negative effects when damaged. Next to the vehicles being buggy, I think this is another point why many people don't touch the vehicles. They are simply too fragile, especially considering any desync will really mess them up if you crash. 😅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lemmac 101 Posted March 27, 2022 Agree 100% Been saying this for ages. If and until a fix comes out for the desynch issues and bad physics simply make the vehicles and occupants more durable so they won't be the instant game ruiner they currently are.
