But leaving this link here, just in case.:) Now I understand there are some more pressing matters, such as fixing and improving the AI. I do want to say immersion is one of the most important things for DayZ. So re-doing certain objects/buildings dating from 2013 is really welcome. I mean, there are some objects like the book shelf, those single beds or entire buildings like the Chernarus supermarket that really really need some attention. Does not even have to be each patch or something. But if from time-to-time some stuff gets a makeover, it would really help to make DayZ prettier and thus more immersive. Especially since DayZ is in it for the long haul, considering you are still looking into expanding the team 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyiara 790 Posted January 19 11 hours ago, niks_b4 said: Hi Kyiara, I hope you're well. I enjoyed your October spotlight article and the mention of Dose Of DayZ. I've noticed that with the recent 1.24 experimental update, about 80% of trees have become unusable due to new collisions. While I understand the performance goals, I'm curious if there are plans to address this issue without compromising user interaction with trees. Your insights on this matter would be appreciated. Best, Dose Hi, we were pleased to feature it in the Spotlight! Are you referring to the changes highlighted in this article? (images are included as well). We would greatly appreciate it if you could share your feedback. Could you elaborate on why it's considered unusable now? Detailed feedback is what we're seeking, so please provide as much information as possible. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TITONELI 3 Posted January 19 Hi! About the modification to tree collision hitboxes. It is no longer possible to climb most of them. I mean, climb the branches using the highest points in the city. This was an extremely hardcore feature that was simply "pruned" (pardon the pun). This was a real skill gap in the game. What I noticed is that the character's collision simply IGNORES the lower branches of the trees, as if they no longer exist. Was this on purpose or is there still salvation? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it was dozens of thousands the last year(s) or something. Escape from Tarkov and even Valve, a many many times bigger company than Bohemia is struggleing extremely with hackers ever since Corona hit THREE YEARS AGO. It seems to me that is a very hard and complicated problem to fix. Or all of the named companies aren't really that invested in fixing it, I cannot judge.

Pyongo Bongo 235 Posted January 20 (edited) 18 hours ago, niks_b4 said: Kind regards, Dose. In short: climbing trees has been removed, for the sake of performance when shooting in wooded areas. Dose of DayZ has showed off how amazing the tree climbing feature was on his channel a while ago. People like myself had started putting on ghillie suits and enjoying using trees as spots to hide / snipe / stash gear, it really shocked me how this was possible and how cool and fun it was. This is no longer possible. On the other hand, I have never had any problems with "performance" in relation to shooting trees. If this change stays the way it is, the game experience will be greatly hampered for no noticeable benefit. I am just claiming this based on my own experience, I have not tested shooting the old and new trees, looking at the numbers and such. Maybe it is necessary, I hope not and strongly doubt that. Here is one of the cool videos where Dose shows off this now removed feature. Dozens of thousands of people have seen it and many videos have appeared of people using this now removed functionality: https://youtu.be/PZvmRNs4uHs?si=_F8nNBAN6B71X6ei&t=834 Edited January 20 by Pyongo Bongo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's wrong with you guys? How many times they can repeat on every stream that: - cheaters are handled by BattlEye; - every case needs to be investigated, you can't ban everyone because you think that they are cheating; - they are continuously working on anticheat methods but cheaters are invtenting new ways to cheat after every update, it is not possible to get rid all of them.

On 1/20/2024 at 12:01 AM, niks_b4 said: Hello Kyiara, Thank you for your prompt response. Yes, I am indeed referring to the 1.24 patch. Below, I will upload screenshots from both the 1.23 and 1.24 patches to illustrate the differences I've noticed. In the 1.23 patch screenshots, you can observe that we were able to interact with tree branches. This functionality has been present for quite some time. However, with the introduction of the new 1.24 patch, we are no longer able to interact with these branches as freely. I want to highlight that in the 1.23 patch screenshots, we could interact with branches at various heights on the big tree. This made it easy to navigate and move around. On the contrary, in the 1.24 patch screenshots, you'll notice that there is collision detection only along the middle straight line of the big tree. Attempting to jump onto branches outside this line results in falling down. While there are still branches at very high or very low positions that remain interactive in the 1.24 patch, the overall interaction with branches has been significantly limited. The pictures should provide a clear visual representation of these changes. If you require further clarification or more detailed explanations, please feel free to let me know. Kind regards, Dose. Thank you, the feedback was forwarded. Not sure if it's gonna change as it might be the toll the team was willing to take, but it's good to point out.

pablitomk1 1 Posted January 24 (edited) New mechanics were announced a long time ago. What have we got so far? Refreshed weapons and items from old versions of the game. We keep getting guns. What for? Where there is an improvement in mechanics, where there is a deepening of survival. Dayz is now a slower call of duty. Only pvp, nothing more. You are adding individual clothes that add nothing to the game. You are still counting only on modders and they are the ones who saved this game from death. Since adding building, you have added virtually no new construction. Still the same fences and gates. You still have to count on modders.... Maybe focus on mechanics in bases? Deepen survival in this game, which was its main goal. Eat less, force players to grow vegetables, hunt, fish. All people do is shoot themselves because everything is easy. You haven't done anything sensible in this game to make it as enjoyable as versions 0.39-0.45 Edited January 24 by pablitomk1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it's gonna change as it might be the toll the team was willing to take, but it's good to point out. This is about tree-climbing being removed, for the sake of...? Tree climbing amazed me when it was first shown to me, I never knew it was possible to this extent. It really amazed me with how realistic it was. OFCOURSE you could climb the trees and every branch had an actual hitbox, nobody said you couldn't 🙂 It was badass to put on a ghillie suit and sit in a tree to ambush people, or watch people do megabrain moves during baseraids and clan wars with their insane tree ghillie tactics. It cranked my DayZ defining paranoia through the roof, making me fearfully watch the trees xD Any time we saw another tree spot and the parcour needed to get into it in a video, or found one ourselves we would say "wow!" and it would be really noteworthy. And the DayZ team would be willing to remove all of that? For? This has to be the most questionable decision I have witnessed in 11 years of DayZ, this cannot stand. I don't believe they were aware of what they are removing from the game when "optimising" the trees. At least not without a thorough and convincing explanation, other than "there were performance issues" "there was weird car collission". Both of which I have never experienced in relation to the removed branches. Edited January 25 by Pyongo Bongo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
