Kathosky 114 Posted May 23, 2022 These "Poke Balls" are indeed weird for the game, as is the gas nade for the grenade launcher. I would remove them as well in any vanilla server. They are probably fun using, but I don't see how that fits into the game. They would fit well for example in Namalsk, where there is a Gauss rifle and out of this world storms, but IMO not for vanilla Chernarus/Livonia DayZ. Apart from that, if the explosives/Grenade launchers are super rare, everything else in this patch is very good. I am hoping that with the new mechanic implicit in the Grenade launcher, we will see the bow/improvised bow very soon. We will see, DayZ has been better than ever from quite a time now, keep it up!

penguin511 24 Posted May 23, 2022 If we are adding more "sawn off weapons" then i think it's very much time that they are added to the loot cycles. People already know that using them is not really practical and only a negative trade off for a smaller size. Adding them to city and town loot makes logical sense and it lowers the amount of full size rifles floating around in spawn areas, not to mention increasing the value of finding a full size rifle. This would increase the challenge to all players, but hurt veterans a little more who are already used to relying on and competent with full size riles. It also forces people to use what they have and adapt to gear they normally would not touch. It's a simple way to increase the variety in weapons while also making the game easier on new people and a bit harder on the vets. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCBasher 2465 Posted May 23, 2022 I'm trying to set up a local EXP server client and getting a version mismatch. My non-EXP setup is working fine. Is this a known thing or should I spend time troubleshooting it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrah 1 Posted May 24, 2022 I have been playing this game since it was only an Arma mod and I love this game. I primarily play on PVE servers and have met a lot of cool people from all over the world on this game. The only thing I ask is don't take away the ability to remap the controller key binds. The rest of the new configuration changes are ok, but as of now I can not change controller keys; I hope this is not a permanent change. And if this reaches anyone, thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pauldinho 1 Posted May 24, 2022 It seams that there is problems after problems with Dayz. The last update the 1.17 I’ve noticed the vehicles such as Trucks are not working properly since the last update. With the trucks the speed limiter is gone as when you press your right finger on the controller the lorries engine goes in to the red and Breaks, it could do with the fifth gear on them this would solve the probably. Plus when you start the engine the vehicle Xcellerate when the vehicle is not even started. Also all the cars are so bad when you try to break and when you crash the two front Tires burst. The next problem is when you try to get anything out of the pouches. So here are the problems: Can’t get anything out off pouches when wearing plate carrier. Trucks engine burnout when accelerating. Vehicles front tyres burst when vehicles crash. Bears can kill you when in vehicles. Zombie’s can stand inside vehicles when attacking you. The new cz550 Savannah goes out of sight when you shoot. The smershbag you can get anything out, you have to remove it the you can get things out. When you put on and gun Carrier you can’t use pouches when Platecarrier. So please fix these problems for the Dayz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is not the first time people have basically BEGGED them to use the Feedback Tracker properly. And as you so eloquently said, "what is the point?" I use to search the FT and put in issues while in Alpha, as soon as it hit Beta, I knew all was lost, and then in one month it went full release, and THAT was THAT. Now, they don't even really engage with the community anymore for fear of more deserved backlash consider how little they have listened over the years. Every game development company on the planet should model themselves after Hello Games. They erred, badly, but they FIXED their error and then went and continue to go the extra mile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They was doing this on the release, I'm sure if you did this regardless, Ity'll break the engine IRL Too, And yeah, The pouches thing for plate carriers is a damn annoying thing, aswell as losing ur boot slots if your wearing assault boots.

Thundermight 43 Posted May 24, 2022 On 5/22/2022 at 6:52 AM, DefectiveWater said: Regarding bases this is my suggestion: 1. Keep wall strength, allow metal sheets to go over the wooden walls (so 2 layers on one frame). 2. Introduce window and door covers so that people don't need to waste so many materials building giant fence walls indoors (should be made out of wood and metal just like gates, window covers could also be made out of tarp). 3. Nerf the quantity of ammo/grenades spawning in the map by a significant amount. I just ran through one mili base on expy and found like 60 rounds of 5.45... way too many. If you increase wall strength then you are making melee weapons even worse at raiding which is not what the issue is, overabundant grenades and ammo is the real issue. Regarding the patch content: I like everything EXCEPT the gas grenades. I really dislike them and I don't see how it fits into DayZ. Explosion dmg both layers, so would not make any difference against them. I think it must do a layer-by-layer on explosion to that idea work out and they should make loudest noise in the game, attracting literally every zombie in a huge radius. 2 would be fucking amazing, althought wouldn't fix "explosive" issues. and 3 i kinda agree, but it comes down to luck. i've got a LAR for almost a week w/o a 20round magazine.

BCBasher 2465 Posted May 24, 2022 Why host the fucking server files on steam if they're behind the client? They both updated this morning and it still won't work due to incompatible versions. Would be way cool to be able play the game I paid in advance for 8 fucking years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endreu 25 Posted May 24, 2022 It's a steam problem not the devs.. That stuff is annoying btw with mods update on server side. Steam - all is updated, game - NOPE! Unsub, resub for mod - Steam: yep now i will download the update.. Just restart the steam or PC and all be FINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCBasher 2465 Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Nope, rebooted, full reinstall. Server is .154765 and the client is .154875 It kind of is the developers problem if the person they're paying to deliver a product isn't delivering it. The devs have also fucked up and "updated" by re-uploading the same version by accident a few times as far as I recall too.

Buakaw 274 Posted May 24, 2022 I am sad to see that 2 major glitches still persist years later: sometimes your first time ADSing will be massively delayed ADSing right before reloading will still lock you into ADS speed for the duration of the animation or until you cancel it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally have a half decent PC and good internet, played a couple weeks on pubs until I got fed up with exploits and my general dislike of people. Fired up my own server and put in a few hundred hours including a 39hr marathon collecting vehicles and trucking stuff from all over the map to the coast making a respawn camp for myself. I'm actually kinda happy with the game at this point, all I ever wanted it for was a 1-2 player sandbox and it's starting to have enough toys in the sandbox to keep me entertained. Considering what I saw in a few tents on pubs and how easily I accidently duped a VSS on my own server it's not a good multiplayer game for people who don't want to exploit. I am really looking forward to trying the fireworks, something that pulls infected like that will be fun. Anyhow I'm dialing in my server settings for my personal tastes and would rather be working with the 1.18 ones than carrying on with 1.17 versions that will be no good after the next update. Also curious to see if I can move my 1.17 database files into 1.18 and keep my collected stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see a forum post for 1.18 going experimental on Xbox and was wondering if consoles are getting this within the same time-frame? I play on PS5, we don't get experimental and the lack of a forum post for consoles concerned me. Edited May 30, 2022 by RZ0R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
