Wow, the new central economy is messing with a lot of stuff. Guns in outhouses, camo clothing in outhouses (again) and even Black-Skull balaclavas spawning in civilian houses. But no damn food anywhere!
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;47517145]
what irritates me most about this patch however is the fact that zombies will pop out of thin air and hit you five times in one animation.[/QUOTE]
I'm fine with them being an actual threat but they still need a complete rebalance, they're broken af right now.
They seem to make no footstep noises at all, they are way too fast inside buildings, they run up hills faster than players, the stunning animation doesn't work reliably, stealth is inconsistent af, not even mentioning their completely broken attacks that are not in sync with the animations and a handful of other issues that i could go on about.
I like how they tried to make pve relevant but they just turned the annoying zombies which could be taken out easily with an axe into even more annoying zombies which need to be taken out in a dull and repetitive cycle of "lure them into the fields untill they slow down and pick them off with a pistol". It just didn't work out that well.
So far this patch, they make no noise until they're on top of you, they hit faster and more often than the anims show, and they run in fucking circles around you so fighting them melee is awful, and with more than 1 you're better off just running.
And the loot spawns are just as broken on public. i've gone through 10+ characters since the patch, not because of bandits but because there is no loot whatsoever, not even useless junk. No weapons/tools to hunt animals either, and I haven't found any berries in any bushes yet.
Some private hive servers seem to be working fine, but it sucks being tied to one server that's often pretty full
this last update made me and all my friends stop playing. I understand, yeah, it's alpha but holy fuck. I know we're supposed to test things but it's also a game thousands of people play. If it takes half a year to put out another patch they're gonna lose a lot of players.
I'm surprised there are so many people with problems with this update. Me and my friends have found looting to be much easier and much more fun, you just need to loot where players aren't. Zombies are also the best they've ever been I think, bar a few sound glitches. The hit detection makes them a lot more fun to fight.
The zombies are fucked and they are not meant to be as harsh, the hit detection is even more fucked. Its not fun, its broken to shit.
And @Tmaxx, it wont take them half a year to put out an other patch lmao, they have put out 3 patches since January, thats pretty damn fast. .56 will be out in 2 weeks or so.

DayZ is not a game that has a endgame. It wont be buggy, it will be optimised. I dont know how closey you follow the devs and such, but I believe them very much when they say 2016.
optimization will come when they move over to that new engine
also ps4 is supposed to come out this fall. gl on selling a 1/10th finished game to console kids.
Consoles release will not happen until they are done with the game, the devs have stated this several times.
[QUOTE=theobod;47526033]Consoles release will not happen until they are done with the game, the devs have stated this several times.[/QUOTE]
well then wikipedia better change that release date
I rather trust the devs before a freaking wikipedia haha.
I like that zombies no longer phase through walls but they punch like Bruce Willis and give you no chance of killing them with melee unless you want to lose half your blood. They had increased health too.
I can't even find hay hooks and bibles anymore. Forget trying to find a weapon or food. I'm not gonna play anymore until the next patch because I shouldn't starve to death every character.
they just said on this wednesday maintenance that they're reverting back to the old loot system periodically, aka everythings back to normal until they make this new system not shit.

So I was looting around NW airfield and managed to find a pristine CR75 with a silencer attached and a mag. I was about to call it a night, but then I s̶t̶o̶l̶e̶ found a rather arousing V3S right next the road out of the airfield. Long story short, I wasted another hour going to Chernogorsk and received sleep deprivation and ruined pants from ejecting out of the truck as a reward. :downs:
I'm always careful as fuck when I unexpectedly find the truck especially if it's at w place where it doesn't spawn. I found one near Balota and I spend like ten minutes walking around the trees it was by making sure it wasn't bait.
How persistent are trucks btw?
There should be a feature whereby you hold a bullet in your hand and smash it with a hammer (or any other blunt object). Specifically larger bullets and rimfire, such as Buckshot and 7.62x54. Because DayZ is realistic right?
What could go wrong. Right???

First thing I would do.

In other news, I managed to find 3 V3S's in a row.
Now that I have a PC that doesn't run like a potato, DayZ is even more fun! Yay :dance:
Okay gentlemen, we need to revive this thread. How about we discuss the new weapons?
I've lost all interest in DayZ to be honest..
DayZ is effectively dead to me, I used to love the end game being finally get a damm helicopter fueled up but leaking so fast you'd have to crash land and keep fueling up as you limped back to your secret hidden in the rocks base.
I still have all the coords of my old bases, had one spot that I managed to store 3 choppers, a hilux and a UAZ at for nearly 5 WEEKS; On a 40+ active server.
I want the old DayZ back!
Just take a break guys.
I think the main problem with this game is that the developers are incrediblt slow, like Valve Time slow.
here's to hoping they get some serious updates before the end of the year
[QUOTE=Darkslicer;47705631]Just take a break guys.[/QUOTE]
I have been taking a break for over a year, and the game is still not appealing to re-install.
[QUOTE=DaBeaver;47708767]I think the main problem with this game is that the developers are incrediblt slow, like Valve Time slow.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't help that they are incompetent. They implemented Central loot economy knowing that it was broken, same goes for the shitty ninja zombies.
