Weapon Damage Nerfs

[Teiwaz 45]

i can not confirm any of this crap ingame (didn't bother to try all the weapons though)

same for my friends

has anyone else actually confirmed these changes ingame, on a public server, on 95417?

i have yet to find any official announcement for these changes.

can i savely assume this was a hoax?

Dude, it's all over this forum and the Arma2 forum. A magnitude of people have confirmed it, if you still don't believe it, be my guest, but it's just ignorant.

But I found you this:

No, not happy, because i see nothing of the changes presented on dayzdb ingame.

and i don't care what raging kids write all over the forum, i request confirmation, preferably with video proof.

assertion: damage of certain weapons are nerfed in 95417

proof: [link-to-video]

so, again, more clearly wrote out this time:

can anyone confirm any of the changes announced on dayzdb on a public dayz 1.7.2.4 / 95417 server? if possible, record and upload your tests.

ok it looks like noone gets the point.

let's try this:

i want to know if the changes done to the arma engine currently have any effect in dayz.

because zombies still die from one revolver shot, which makes no sense with the new weapon damage.

does anyone in here get what i mean -.-

Hi there,

I understand what you mean, 1911 was oneshot but now it isnt oneshot anymore on Z´s,

Posting from official BI Dev -> http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?137868-ARMA-2-OA-beta-build-95417-%281-62-MP-build%29

1) Grad and MLRS ammo were not able to knock out vehicles

2) Makarov, 545x39, .45, .303, Slug745 and Sa-61 ammo were more powerfull than they should be

changes in ca\weapons_E\cfgAmmo.hpp and Ca\weapons_E\LeeEnfield\config.cpp

cheers

1.) Yes, they have. You either take our words for it or...still just ignore it.

2.) BI CEO himself said they reduced the damage output of this kind of ammo + Rocket said he's not messing with BI's weapons "balance".

3.) If you don't experience it:

a) you're Arma2 is not up to date.

b. you're headshotting every Z - headshots are still one-shot-kills.

c) you're playing on a custom server/custom DayZ version (not quite sure how it could be reversed server side, as I don't know anything about Arma2 modding)

d) you're experiencing a convenient bug.

e) have a somewhat "hacked" gun.

f) something I can't think of yet.

I, for myself, know that my 1911 stopped one-shotting Z's after my Arma2 was updated to 1.62. Same goes for friends who used the Revolver and are now pumping almost 2 Makarov mags into 1 Z to kill it. Also, for me, it's enough "evidence" reading that that many people are having the same "issue" + having BI CEO saying they reduced the damage of those bullets (but didn't mention it in the changelog).

If you still need more "proof", that's your problem, not mine. You asked for an official announcement, that I gave you.

No you don't :(

M1911 is still oneshot on Z's for me,

95417, cant be more up-to-date afaik

b ) you're headshotting every Z - headshots are still one-shot-kills.

body shots -.-

c) you're playing on a custom server/custom DayZ version (not quite sure how it could be reversed server side, as I don't know anything about Arma2 modding)

public servers, i tried many, random ones and my favorite servers.

d) you're experiencing a convenient bug.

thats why i want to know if anyone else here got this 'problem'

e) have a somewhat "hacked" gun.

m1911, makarov, revolver, randomly looted

noone seem to care, so whatever,

i am happy with my weapons as is.
