DayZ Mod - Crawling Simulator 2012 Dammit rocket what did you break this time? - Games

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;36708900]You guys shouldn't do stuff like this, it is in alpha for a reason and you should test it instead of falling back to a working version. You aren't supposed to be playing for fun, you are playing to help test the mod.[/QUOTE] The developers are already aware of the face-raping bugs so why should we continue to subject ourselves to the face-rape when they're already working on a patch? It's not like if suddenly I discover that the Lee Enfield makes cow sounds when I fire it in this version the developers are going to withhold the hotfix to change that. Once the hotfix is implemented there will be new bugs somewhere [i]somehow[/i] in the game caused by the hotfix that will just overlap the ones already extant that are still waiting to be ironed out with 1.7.2. We're not going to force ourselves to play a game that is terribly de-synchronized in the name of "playtesting," especially because [i]none of us are getting paid to do it like [b]actual[/b] playtesters.[/i] This isn't some sort of search and destroy alpha testing where the developers won't upgrade to a new version until we've found [i]every fucking bug[/i]. So we're waiting patiently until 1.7.2.1 is out so we can enjoy the other millions of bugs that are in the game properly.

Sorry, how is the mod broken at the moment? I've been playing all day just fine

[QUOTE=Electric Eye;36708929]that was the most unfathomably retarded thing i have ever read. who the fuck would want to "play" something that isn't fun just to help test? besides, the mod is broken (and acknowledged as so by the devs) in this current version. all we're doing is waiting for the fix.[/QUOTE] Amazing how you get all dickish over something like that, all I said was that you guys should stay on the current version since you can find more bugs and help the developer out. What the fuck is your problem?

[QUOTE=The very best;36709049]Sorry, how is the mod broken at the moment? I've been playing all day just fine[/QUOTE] Have you encountered any other human players? De-sync issues are causing terrible file-saving which is leading to people jumping around hundreds of meters from the view of other players even if they're going about fine. You may have just picked up a can of beans, but the server isn't going to acknowledge that until you've gone through five other houses. While this isn't apparent to you, it will be apparent when you log back in to find all of your stuff rolled-back. You may end up walking around for five minutes and then drop dead because apparently some sniper shot you five minutes beforehand even though you moved a kilometer out of where they were. So yeah, the game runs great except for all player-to-player interaction and the server won't acknowledge what you've done until five minutes after you've done it.

should doesn't mean have to

[editline]10th July 2012[/editline] ...?[/QUOTE] I'm just trying to say the servers should mostly stay on the latest version, instead of jumping back to the last stable version. That forces players that downloaded the newest version to have to go and get the previous one just so they can play, when the servers could just wait for the hotfix.

[QUOTE=Chernarus;36709081][url]http://74.91.122.114:2503/dayzstuff/DayZ&ArmA2patches/[/url] for beta patch[/QUOTE] Is this the hotfix?

Was outside Lopatino with an M14 AIM and DMR. Went on the server after Beta 94700. Spawn in Elektro with M16. Wut.

Went all 'fuck it' on a server once I hit the NE airfield and found fuck all in the south barracks. A run, couple of shootouts with zeds and thrown smoke grenades later I find a dead guy with an FN FAL with 4 mags and other useful goodies and a coyote backpack. Take my time? Fuck that shit.

Wut.[/QUOTE] This is what I'm talking about when I say that the servers aren't saving properly and everyone is being desynchronized. My friend died last night and went around with an entirely new life until he decided to respawn. When he disconnected and reconnected to create a new character, he spawned where we was in the life before last, three hours after he had originally died.

How the hell am I supposed to start with this? I have no weapons, so I can't beat up zombies, and I have no batteries to my flashlight.

Shit should be sorted now, I'm not doing anything until the patch comes out. But atleast you can play because it works.

[QUOTE=Staneh;36709395]How the hell am I supposed to start with this?

Just run around until you find a barn or something, zombies have to walk in them which lets you lose them, and odds are you will find a weapon inside.

[QUOTE=Staneh;36709440]When I press L nothing happens.[/QUOTE] If it's daytime the flashlight doesn't render. You also have to right click it and remove it from your belt.

[QUOTE=Staneh;36709440]When I press L nothing happens.[/QUOTE] Is it daytime?

[QUOTE=Chernarus;36709411]Shit should be sorted now, I'm not doing anything until the patch comes out. But atleast you can play because it works.[/QUOTE] Wait so the desyncing shit is done?

[QUOTE=Zanpa;36708648]It's funny because 9 hours ago it was supposed to come out in 5 hours maximum.[/QUOTE] Its a free mod, they owe you nothing to be honest. Maybe, if it was a AAA studio making the mod I'd expect them to make their schedule but meh.

I went onto a server with around 10 people, went behind the balota airport, and saw a repaired tractor with fuel in it! Thanks to who ever was looting the airfield, me and my brother had alot of fun with it until we came under sniper fire and ran into the forest, dumping the tractor with engine on next to a lake.

[QUOTE=The very best;36709607]Rocket even said something along the lines of "It's alpha, it's meant for testing, yell at me all you want when it's beta"[/QUOTE] This game is never going to go beta then because he'll always break the game, he won't want to be yelled at with a logical reason.

[QUOTE=Chernarus;36709479]Its a free mod, they owe you nothing to be honest. Maybe, if it was a AAA studio making the mod I'd expect them to make their schedule but meh.[/QUOTE] I know that and I'm not upset about anything, I was just saying that I found it funny. I think that the rate of updates is already amazing for a one-man team.

Is it just me or was the zed hearing range increased ? I was crouch-walking and a zombie 20 meters away spotted me.
