1.7.2.5 Graphical Glitches Still There

[seemingepic 31]

For all you defending rocket, why put this mod through a broken patch?

You want to keep the community happy and thats fine, but please test your work before throwing it out there.

To all saying post bug reports, I have. I filled out the forum and posted following the correct format so shh.

Seriously, how many of your sarcastic twats are there? Do you all just sort of collaborate here on some other medium and then strike all at once during the day? It's the bloody rush hour of dumb asses here.

As for your post, I'll begrudgingly state that Rocket has yet to confirm if this patch works entirely. Do your homework and read up on his post on the development of this.

Then why release it? Why not test it out first with his resources of a 1 million player community? Why release a broken thing and have patch notes that say it fixes this this and this?

Since this stage of development is supposed to be adding new features and not bug fixes, I would not hold your breath if I was you.

Don't you get it? We are the testers. You are testing. Go report the bugs in the proper place and get a warm fuzzy feeling from knowing that you helped.

So add things that don't work just to fix them later? I think it should be like

Add new item

Fix it

Add new item

Fix it

Shouldn't that be the ideal process?

[Baelethal 102]

You realize that we're the testers, right?

If the patch is broken, it's our job to tell him it's broken still, not whine that it's broken like some child demanding a lolly.

This isn't butterfly eating and rainbow shitting unicorns. It's DayZ. Expect broken and dirty.

Maybe it's just karma for camping the airfield like a bitch.

THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING!!!!!!!..... omfg.

[Lennsik 176]

No, that'd be the "The Dev shot himself in the head" process.

Doing that would mean he'd have to compile a script over a previous fix of a previous item and so and so forth. It's better to drop everything there and then make one long compiled fix. It's shorter than the impossibly short, but frequent, fixes that would actually elongate the development time by two fold.

Not in an Alpha, no.

Would you rather have little check points or do everything in one bunch?

I.E homework would be easier to do in check points over 2 weeks instead of doing everything in 1 week?

Server - DE 1033

Graphical artifacts and are not lost in all the places where the soldiers are static body. And this is the place to the north of NWAF (barn) did something unusual. There, the soldiers did not buggy, buggy and something else. Do not even treated rejoining the server.

[Bearderus 17]

To be honest, need to stop adding shit and fix what we already have. I understand the mod is in Alpha, but something so serious as the graphic bug, something thousands of people are effected by, should be a top priority. I can't enter Balota, Cherno, Zino, or NWAF. What to do with my time? Sit in Elektro killing people.

I don't think you know how scripting and patching works in a game, sir. Especially for a mod like Day Z.

If Rocket releases Patch A that gives Item A but Item A is broken, he'll have to release Patch B that fixes Item A. And then when making Patch C he'll have to add Work Around A that will help implement Item B so it won't break Item A. And if Item B is broken, he'll have to add Work Around B in Patch D for Item A and B to fix Item B.

Instead of releasing Patch A, letting it break, work on Patch B, letting it break, then releasing Patch C which will fix Patch A and B and its Items.

See where I'm getting at?

Or release A, A breaks

Release B which fixes A and adds B

Release C which fixes B and adds C

That way when you go back and fix a bug, its one at a time so you know whats actually fixed.

See where I'm gettting at?

I'm not trying to start a flame war, just expressing my point.

I want to see this mod sucseed, but he needs to put a little more brain power of what should happen.

My god, you're that kind of stupid.

Seriously, my friend, go read up on how this works, because your method doesn't fit anywhere I see. At all.

[MoronToTheKore 57]

The people who downloaded the patch already ARE the closed beta test. The patch is formally released when it goes on sixupdater. You download something that isn't completely ready, your fault.

People are downloading a beta patch for an alpha mod and they're still fucking bitching.

Rocket has said that his plan is to put out some content, then put out some fixes. If you don't see that pattern then you might just be new. I have been here for 3-4 months. Dude has put out a LOT of patches. Yes a lot of things are broken, but when I started there was 100,000 people. I bet Rocket spends 99% of the time fixing netcode and "hacking" damage. Is that his fault?
