When a weapon is in the "worn" state of wear, it is not clear how many more rounds it can fire before its condition becomes "damaged." Once it becomes damaged, the chance of jamming increases significantly. It often happens that a weapon jams almost immediately after its condition becomes “damaged”. This is quite critical in situations where the player is under attack from a large number of opponents or, say, when hunting a bear. The main problem is that there is no way for a weapon to have a safety margin and therefore it can fail at any moment. I think this can be solved by increasing the number of wear levels or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's true that it does not correspond with reality, but DayZ is not a simulator, it's a game. This topic has been brought up many times and the answer won't please you much. "The difference between computer simulations and computer games is subtle but important. At the core, the distinction is that simulations are about things (or systems) and how they behave, and games are about a fun user experience." So mechanics, that are at some point simplified in comparison to reality might stay like this unless it's a part of a larger rework that would have any impact on the current mechanics, but it still doesn't mean that the rework would be matching the reality. Im sorry, it is what it is.😔 I take note and thank you for clearly explaining the management philosophy of DayZ. However, I do not completely agree with the distinction between "simulation" and "game". In my opinion, the term "simulation" is overused too often, in many senses, also because it is a specific term that I have a bit of difficulty associating with any type of video game/software on PC. Even if it were ArmA3/ArmA4... On PC you will always have insurmountable compromises and you will always miss the physical sensation, very important in a simulation (have you ever seen the "fake" cockpits for training airline pilots? Well, that can be defined as a "simulator", with all the limitations of a simulation, obviously). EVERYTHING else is "just video games", more or less complex and more or less well-finished. All other "video games", however, should at least be "coherent" with the setting they claim to "recreate" and for which they are advertised and sold. DayZ is advertised and sold as: 1) "The post-soviet country of Chernarus..." So the time and place setting is clear... after the fall of the Soviet empire and between Europe and Asia. Not in 2352 (star year) and in a universe lost among unknown galaxies. 2) "DayZ is an unforgiving, authentic, open world sandbox..." So there is also reference to a "claimed authenticity" of the game's representation. There is a lot to discuss about the meaning of "authentic", and I wouldn't know how to do it in English, but in Italian the meaning is this: "corresponding to the truth" or "what is true" A synonym is also: frank, genuine, sincere... Its opposite is also: false, fake... I think that in English it is not that different... This is why I think that DayZ should still try to be as "realistic" as possible... or at least as "plausible" as possible to the reality of the facts and objects in use in the period after the fall of the Soviet empire, on Earth, in the space between Europe and Asia. Nobody is looking for a real... "simulator"... I think it would be a huge and fallacious undertaking for any company... but a "playable" game and, at the same time, more adherent to the reality of the facts and objects YES! Otherwise, really... could we also expect a "Purple Flying Unicorn" just because it's "fun to play" ?!? I hope not... I understand that this graphics engine is not really... a "little angel" (at least from what I read around), but please... for what you can... try to make it as "realistic" or "plausible" as possible to the context for which it is described and sold. And don't hide behind the distinction with "simulators", which seems more of an excuse than anything else. Thanks and good work to all of you 😉 Edited August 21 by Riddick_2K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riddick_2K 174 Posted August 22 Let's also reduce backpacks, now ?!? But you allow me to put ALL the bags I find on my shoulder, right ?!? And weapons, with their carrying strap, should ALL be on the shoulder... right ? And stamina should be proportional to the character's training, not the same for everyone, right ?!? Seriously: do everything you can to make players run away from the official servers and save on management costs ?!? 🤨 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont even try to defend that 🤣 But due to those new changes I would personally change sizes of some items like repair kits or headtorches to be little smaller. Also, it would be nice to see some extra slots on backpacks. For example map slot on hiking/mountain backpack, one extra slot on few military backpacks for a mag for example. That would make it more interesting and varied. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't change just one thing and leave everything else, you don't fix the game, you MIX it up. There are other ways to prevent a canister from being put in your pants, if that's the problem... but by reducing the slots you create many other problems. You reason like this: I have pain in my hand, it bothers me and so I "cut my hand". WRONG. The hand must be treated with specific drugs!

Kathosky 119 Posted August 22 I welcome a lot and even love the inventory size reduction across clothes and backpacks. To point out, the T-Shirt was reduced in the first exp patch, but it should have been reduced to zero slots in my opinion, it's such a starter clothing that change in the first few minutes after spawning and doesn't have any pockets or much identity to justify even the fewest of slots. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
64coreCPU 11 Posted August 22 @Riddick_2K I think it will be difficult for me to convey my vision of the situation, since English is not my native language. I think that the developers cannot calibrate the size of items and inventory capacity at one time, so they will do it gradually or something like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerseyD 13 Posted August 22 Thank you for REDUCING BACKPACKS SIZE! This is truly one of the best decisions ever (not a sarcarsm).

You are good at mixing words, unfortunately I don't know English and I have to use Google translations... I am not able to answer and, at the same time, be sure that what I write is also "well understood"... In any case, there are also servers with monsters and hordes of skeletons... which obviously have NOTHING to do with DayZ... and there are a lot of them. And the vast majority of modded servers also have the "Trader"... which for me is "the Anti-DayZ". But when I point to the Moon, don't look at the finger. If a lot of servers use the mod that "increases" the slots, (PvP, PvE, Monsters, and various bullshit... ALL genres) and there is NO mod that reduces them... maybe there is a reason. Maybe that really A LOT of players (of all genres, PvP, PvE, monster hunting, skeleton hunting, pure survival, etc...) feel the need to have more slots than the "standard DayZ". And since there is NOT a mod that reduces them... maybe... there are NOT enough players who think that the "standard DayZ" slots are "too many". Is it clearer this way? I don't know why there is a "rare gathering" in this forum. Look around, watch YT, think about it...
