Cpt.Carramack 8 Posted August 11, 2012 I have been playing DayZ a fair while now and getting relatively sick of a few things, excluding hackers and bugs, the zombie movement/ pathfinding for one, the seemingling generic law of KoS etc, i was about ready to take a long break from the game until standalone or noticable fixes were put in place, howver this might be it?Firstly the slowed animation speed is it? of the zombies thus seeming to improve their pathfinding or at least stopping them zigzagging so much so they are actually hittable at range is a great improvement. Also i love the new reinstatement of humanity, so far that is all i've really seen as i've only played the latest patch for a little while but just wanted to say thanks for this rocket/ dev team, much appreciated. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjan777 104 Posted August 11, 2012 oo nice, i did not know they hade improved the zombies pathfinding and random zigzagging :)i have installed but not played yet, but will do ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt.Carramack 8 Posted August 11, 2012 oo nice, i did not know they hade improved the zombies pathfinding and random zigzagging :)i have installed but not played yet, but will do ^^ I'm not sure if they addressed that directly but i think they just slowed the animation or movement speed or something which from what i can see has improved the zigzagging greatly:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riesenkartoffel@gmail.com 7 Posted August 11, 2012 I found a heli crash and since now I can actually hit those zeds, I just went full rambo and shot about 30 of themfrom 100 meters. Well then I found out the hard way that ammo refilling has been fixed and had to survive with 5 mags with 2-6 ammo in each. This ought to reduce the amount of snipers in Elektro, I think. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh, this has been the best patch to date, or at least in a very long while, the game has definately recieved a new lease of life i would say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupar123 6 Posted August 11, 2012 I find it bad having limitless ammo becoming limited ammo,even though it's more realistic :PShame I won't be able to shot with AKM several scores to tens of dozens of zeds,relog and then again to build up the score xD,but it will also be nice seing sniper amount drop,as mentioned alredy.

If so, they can easily regain their ammo by changing clothing.I'm not sure if it is a common trend, but I have snuck up on quite a few godmode snipers - no matter how many swings of the axe they get, or bullets to the head, they will not die. These guys obviously would have no trouble spawning ammo for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FaceAche 69 Posted August 11, 2012 I thought this patch was suppose to fix the artifact problem with dead soldiers/barbed wire etc. though this seems to be same at least for me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cpt.Carramack 8 Posted August 11, 2012 Nop Nope I've tried two servers which are up to date anyone else that has this problem or am I just "lucky"? How are you lucky? Artifacting is still there, not as bad but i would take zombie pathfinding improvements+ humantity over a relatively minor graphical error. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cpt.Carramack 8 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) zombie path-finding improvements don't mean jack squat if you can not see the zombies in the first place due to blinding graphical artifacts. It's not like they're there constantly, like zombies, and the artifacting is still there in the new patch, this is what i would like to see patched next if possible Edited August 11, 2012 by Cpt.Carramack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spazfokel 1 Posted August 11, 2012 the artifact issue is certainly not fixed, green mountain, stary sobor camp and airfield are one massive acid trip. zombies seem much better tho, indeed. less rng in their detection, and indeed seemingly better pathfinding. still fell in a invisible whole on a rock when raiding a camp, and when trying to step out of it I simply died instantly. seeya in a few patches again I guess. maybe. If I can be arsed to pay another bill for my server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMedic 58 Posted August 11, 2012 I have 0 murders 0 bandits killed and 0 humanityThat's because you're new, no offense meant. I've got 3 zed kills + 1 survivor kill for a total of 51 humanity; I guess this means I'm fairly neutral with a minor tendency towards helping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
