Why nobody talking about the new Dayz optimization, solid 60fps in towns and shit.
>>341599463
there's zombies right now or is still a village arma 3 simulator?
I'm looking to buy it in this summer sales.
>>341600349
fuckton of zombies and new skins for em too
/v/ hates this game
>>341600950
>I hate this game therefore everyone else does

i like it then is no /v who hate this game.
Does it still take 20 seconds for hits to register?

>>341599463
>posting about DAYZ on /v/
Hello summer child
Because the mod still has more content.
The developer team is fucking SHIT
What's the difference between this and H1Z1?
>>341601596
H1Z1 is more arcade-y it's like half way between DayZ and WarZ but leaning more towards WarZ.
>>341601596
H1Z1 is a cross between Day Z and War Z, a.k.a shit.
All survival zombie ""horror games"" are shit.
>>341601568
No shit sherlock it's been around for over 4 years
>>341599463
>solid 60fps in towns
>fuckton of zombies and new skins for em too
I'll believe it when I see it.
>Spend an hour gathering starter loot
>Spend another hour trekking from the coast to the airfield
>Get shot
Just play battle royal anon. The only fun part of DayZ is encountering other players and it never happens.
>>341601905
Not to mention the fact that it's a mod for an already completed game.
>>341599463
> Solid 60FPS
Shit nigga let me see this
We're supposed to happy that a game that doesn't even look good now gets 60 fps? This should be a basic feature of all games.
>>341601905
Ark adds more in a month than Dayz Standalone has done in over 3 years
THREE FUCKING YEARS AND THIS IS ALL THEY HAVE DONE
AYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>341601474
>>341601920
>>341602073
Update just came out yesterday niggers, try it out
>>341599463Torrent Link ?
>>341600950
DayZ SA was a succesfull scam. Reason why I didn't buy Arma 3 and won't buy their crap in the next 100 years.
>>341602251
Are the cheaters still rampant? played it 2 months ago and like 20 minutes after I joined a game some faggot teleported to me in the air floating around and shot me and said ''git gud faggot''
imo the best part about dayz was the encouters with other people without shooting them instantly.
meeting people, run around with them, eventually die and find new people.
Right now it's just a big Deathmatch.

>>341602531
>tfw this update broke my sigs again
because dayz is garbage
It's pretty good
>>341602164
You mean that game that can't stay above 10fps on a TITAN X?
>>341599463
Because that's pretty much the only big thing they've done.
>guiz look, our game finally now runs at 50-60 fps, lmao get on our lvl plebs, bet no other games run at 60 fps!
Still the same old shit.
Doesn't change the fact that the game has been a fucking alpha for 3 years and the zombies are still a non-existent side feature for a dead PvP game infested with hackers and script kiddies.
Call me when the beta drops in 2019 so I can finally play modded single-player without a bunch of angry foreign children that transferred straight from CoD.
>>341604065
It was by far their biggest issue.
Having a low FPS made the game nearly unplayable. This makes it a little better.
does it have singleplayer yet?
DayZ was fun when it wasnt just a massive Deathmatch
>>341604295
the biggest issue is the dying community
the community is dying because of multiple reasons
steady and high fps is one of those issues but the other issues are way more important
>>341604397
No
You could try to find a way to script it in or edit the game files but there's no telling if it will even work or if you'll just get banned.
>>341604809
The community itself is the biggest issue. All games like this have the same problem and there is nothing they can do to fix it.
>>341605126
well DayZ Mod did that right and still has a strong community that is probably bigger than DayZ SA's community
>>341599463
>>341599463
I want a good DayZ like set in an American City or Rural tract of land.
I've no interest in filthy slavshit settings, or Costa Rican ghettos
>>341605304
The mod is just as much as deathmatch as SA is, if not more.
>>341605754
confirmed for not actually playing the mod
>>341605948
>y-you never played it
Nice meme, the only thing people play anymore is OverPoch and that's a KoS-fest.
When the mod first came out people interacted, but the same can be said for SA, as time went on people interacted less and less.
I don't understand the length of time they've spent on it with so little work put in.
Literally feels as if it's we got your money the game.
>>341606148
Shit engine, shit devs.
>>341602251
I played 1 hour and I've seen one fucking zombie in 3 villages, fuck off
>>341606135
But that's bullshit still plenty of people play vanilla, I do as well.
>>341599463
my mic is broken so it's basically pointless
>>341606436
No one's going to talk to you anyway.
>>341606148
90% of the dev time is put towards making the Enfusion engine which will be used for Arma 4 and DayZ. I think the DayZ dev team is more of an engine dev team for the past few years. 0.60 added the new graphics renderer of Enfusion.
>>341606148
Because it is, they brag about selling something like 1 or 2 million copies and then just cash in after a year or so.
Dean Hall booked it and moved on, now it's all just slow, pathetic updates with a cancerous Steam community.
go fuck yourself, underage. Nobody cares about dayz anylonger
>>341601905
dayz standalone has been out for a long time. your excuse is invalid.
>>341607205
3 years really isn't that long in video game development. It can take anywhere from 3 to 10 years to make a game.
I'm not saying the development isn't slow, but 3 years is not a long time. Not even close.
Started a base last night, already have 2 vehicles.
They went too far up their own ass with the "simulator" stuff and made the game anti-fun.
>Eating sates your hunger for all of 5 minutes
>Drinking quinches your thirst for like 3

I prefer the Arma II mod still.
>>341607728
You need to eat and drink until you're fully energized and hydrated in the status menu. Then you won't need to eat or drink for a long time. Blood transfusion is complicated and unnecessary, it's much easier to get a friend to inject an IV bag in you for the same effect.
>>341607728
This. In a game with an online community, where everyone's likely already gone through everything, it shouldn't be so unnecessarily harsh to find anything of use, or to stay alive longer than a couple days. Same with guns rarely being with any ammo, makes no sense at all that there'd be guns with no ammunition in a fucking police station, or even in a house, who would buy a gun to keep it unloaded?
Would be fine in singleplayer, but Project Zomboid's the only game I can think of that's had decent single player zombie survival stuff.
>>341608374
>who would buy a gun to keep it unloaded?
People with children
>>341608374
>who would buy a gun to keep it unloaded?
Literally everyone
>>341608374
You're not supposed to leave guns loaded anon, you're not even supposed to leave guns outside of a gun safe.
>>341608641
>>341608692
Sorry, I meant keep it unloaded long term. Who would buy a gun with no intention of ever loading it? Because you find guns with literally no ammunition anywhere nearby last I played.
I realise most people don't keep a loaded gun in the house.
>>341609057
>I realise most people don't keep a loaded gun in the house.
I do anon.
But I live alone
>>341609002
Well yeah, but this is a videogame, it wouldn't exactly be very fun if every single gun spawned in a locked container of some kind that you'd never be able to get into, leaving you with only ones found on military or police corpses. Some stuff has to be ignored for the sake of fun.
>>341609313
Really? Do you just leave it on a countertop or what, where do you keep it?
>>341608374
Because that's really all there is to the challenge aspect and survival.
Think about if food and hunger actually got nerfed and you started finding guns with ammo. It would be WAAY too easy.
>run to food
>run to gun
>run to large city
>play deathmatch with other people doing the exact same thing you're doing.
>die
>repeat
Zombies are rare on any populated server and only exist for the sole purpose of wasting your time and alerting other players.
>>341609484
>leaving you with only ones found on military or police corpses
I fucking wish corpses had gear, same with zombies.
>>341608641
>>341608641
From ages 1-5 a typical handgun's actuation, slide catch disengage or hammer hocking is physically impossible.
Beyond that, you should be doing your job as a parent to teach your children about fucking No-Fly zones in the home.
One of them being a firearm.
It also wouldn't kill you to sate their curiosity in a safe controllable environment.
I've a 5 year old who found out what that heavy black thing in daddies bedroom was at the age of 3 1/2
He also found out why you don't touch daddies things ever, unless asked permission first.
Last time he came across my 9mm what due to him pulling it out of my walkin closet on top of a comforter he wanted.
He put it back where it was. And told daddy that exactly.
Just removing things from your kids access does a heluva lot more harm then good.
Both from a 1st, 2nd and 3rd point of view.
The worse gun offense I've ever heard of, were police leaving their customized hair-trigger duty sidearm where their infant can get a hold of it.
I'll play when they add actual AI to zombies.
>>341609697
That's how the game works now though, except it's more like you run to the town, get killed by whatever random KoS dipshit is already there looting everything, respawn, spend two hours running back, and do it again.
At least making guns more readily available would mean players could defend themselves a bit better against the ones that already found good weapons.
And I'm not expecting a huge nerf to hunger, it just always bothers me games like this are eating simulators, your character needs stupid amounts of food each day, no-one dies if they don't eat 4 cans of beans a day, every day.
I think the biggest issue they have is that zombie's barely exist, and are shitty when they do though. There's barely any consistency to when they see you, leaving new players no real ability to do anything about the ones they find but just sprint and shut doors (though that didn't work for a while, can they still run through doors?), and meaning new players just shoot them in the head from ages away and don't have to worry about any consequences, because there's probably only 4 within hearing distance.
>>341610074
It would add a lot to the atmosphere I think, a couple of smaller setpiece type areas (as in where shit's already gone down, not is going to) would be good too, add more interesting shit for players to find than Shack with beans and shovel #2853.
>>341610162
>>341610162
I should add, this is probably known as "Condition 3" On the 1-4 carry scale.
>>341610193
>not enjoying getting chased by an invincible zombie who isn't slowed down by anything and you spend a good 10 minutes running away from in a straight line
>>341603464
yeah, that one
>>341610369
>Walk right past one zombie
>Doesn't see me
>Suddenly one from 80 meters out aggros
:^)
>>341610162
Yeah, and then when your kid gets bullied in school it'll lift your gun and blow a hole in their bully. You should never leave a loaded gun around a child, it doesn't matter if they know about gun safety or not kids are fucking stupid, their brains haven't fully developed yet.
>>341610618
I don't think that anon was advocating that you leave the guns loaded, just that there's better ways to handle it than "Just hide everything from them".
>People still play DayZ
It's prime was like 5 years ago, it's been in EA for 3, practically half of the dev team left/stopped working on it, and even KF2 is going to release before DayZ does.
Who the fuck STILL puts up with it's shit?
>>341610531
It doesn't matter anon, those were probably the only two zombies that spawned within 80 meters of each other on the whole map.
>>341610618
>>341610618
Yeah, no. My sons never expressed any crazy shit like that.
I look forward to it tho, definitely would like to see how he reacts to being bullied.
He's a tender soul, so I expect it to be nasty.
Not to mention I actually expect him to try some severely vindictive shit like that.
I had an older brother who got nigger stomped by a pack of chimps in Poughkeepsie fuckin' 30 somethin odd years ago, and they left him for dead.
He ran and got my father's 45 and put 3 of them in the ground and another in the hospital for life.
>>341610758
>It's prime was like 5 years ago
Nigga the mod is only 4 years old.
I thought it looked decent. The animations need touching up. That shit looked stiff as fuck
>>341610908
>My sons never expressed any crazy shit like that.
Yet* People can change, something could set him off.
>>341602475
what's wrong with arma 3 my child?
>>341610618
>>341610618
You also seem to imply that I've somehow stopped being a parent, and left it at that. I own a handprint gun safe/Key gunsafe, Handprint is for me, key is for his mother. And since he's gotten taller, and a little stronger (Potentially able to disengage the slide lock) I've put it up higher in said safe.
Again. Education over Abjuration/Restriction.
>>341601980
>battle royal
do you mean h1z1 or is this a feature in dayz now too
Whenever they said a new development build is ready. the devs made a retraction and said "Sorry now new development build this time" and left the already salty community.
Brian Hicks did this far too often. It's like spoiling a little child and be amused about it, when you can't keep up your promise.
DayZ SA was a cashcow for BI. I think they used the money to invest more in Arma 3 instead of DayZ SA, just look at Apex now. The Dev team showed various road maps and over the time and none accomplished all of its goals so far. Something was still left out. 60fps in a city? Better get Battleeye working. 2 hours of roaming around only to be killed by a shower of grenades. Just fuck this game. People said wait for it till it is out of alpha...As I said here we are 2 1/2 years later. Screw this game.
>>341611143
I never said you shouldn't eductae them, but you also shouldn't leave a loaded weapon in a place they can reach. As i said, it doesn't matter if they know about gun safety, kids are fucking stupid.
>>341611248
>>341611248
AFAIK he's talking about Arma 3's Battle Royale?
>>341607440
>3-10 years
Name one fucking game that took longer than five years to ACTIVELY develop, and didn't go through development hell.
>>341611248
It was in arma long before H1Z1 came out.

you should have gotten good
>>341611426
Isn't there a game that was popular with streamers a while back called that? Kind of like a hunger games rip off?
>>341606815
so basically they pulled a gearbox on their customers? siphon cash that is basically meant to fund one project to fund another completely unrelated project?

& H1Z1 (The Streamer heavy one) being really popular.
>>341600431
>Fucktons
No, maybe a few but they're still not a threat to a player. More of an annoyance. The core issues still remain in the game. There's just nothing to do in the game.
>>341611620
Americans were a mistake. Enjoy your school shooting
>>341611718
No, I mean like a standalone game. They spawn in arenas or some shit and it steadily closes in? Wasn't that called battle royale?
>LP-bait
>>341611620
You aren't very smart, are you? Human brains do not fully develop until they are in their early 20s. It doesn't matter how smart you think you kid is, he's still a kid. If he gets angry with someone he won't be able to keep that "Calm, collected and analytical" mind because he's still a kid, he cannot control his emotions like you or i can.
>>341611248
DayZ is pretty much battle royale. It's an empty ARMA2 map with random weapon spawns. There's nothing else to do but to find guns and shoot other players.
>>341611874
problem is you probably join games with alot of players that already killed the zombies in towns
>>341611881
>>341611881
Oh! no that's something else.
Fuck Lemmi look up the name.
The Culling.
>>341612091
Ah, shit, I thought it was called battle royale for some reason. Did that turn out to be any good, or just get abandoned like so many games do these days? It seemed a bit content light last I saw of it.
>>341611984
>>341611984
Save your bullshit for someone else. I have no interest in it.
Those are some amazing mental gymnastics of yours btw.
How you go from educating minors on firearms, to SCHOOL SHOOTING. It fucking mind boggling.
>>341612206
every patch they release completely changes everything in the game so I stopped playing it
>>341612276
My point is that you should never leave a loaded gun around a child, you're an idiot.
>>341612206
>>341612206
Dunno I stopped watching anything related to it, Arma 3's sated much of my mod flavors. It has it's own Hunger Games-like and it's fukin' fun.
Too bad I might've earned myself a global ban for having Cheat Engine running at some point (I multiboxed some other singleplayer game, and BattleEye is overzealous as fuck, you don't get banned for directly accessing titles, but they'll slap you for having cheat programs even running)
Because tanoa came out for Arma 3
Arma 3 Apex
I took a break from DayZ a long time ago, just came back after this update, these are my findings

>Went through 4 different towns
>Saw maybe a total of 10 zombies

I really wish there were zombie hoards, I'm talking like 50-100+ zombies randomly coming out of nowhere and trapping you somewhere, but instead I only saw zombies in packs of 1-2 and they were rare
Doesn't feel like a zombie game, feels more like some kind of army simulator, it's just...boring
>>341612005
there's a key difference in that you can "win" a battle royale. you can never win in dayz. the game has no goal whatsoever. you just run around killing other retards on sight until you get killed. then you either quit or do it again. it's like one of the worst designed games ever
>>341612206
i don't own the game but it seems like it's another example of dumbass devs making crazy sweeping changes that sometimes improve the game sometimes fuck up the game entirely. i dont know though. i'm not gonna buy it
>>341612354
They break more than fixing bugs. Two steps forward one step back.
>>341612276
You're both dumb really, you shouldn't rely on "Yeah my kid's pretty calm now, he'll be fine forever" as a reason to keep a loaded gun around children, kids do dumb shit no matter how much you teach them, it's why they touch stovetops they know are hot, but he's dumb for implying that access to a loaded gun will cause the kid to go on a shooting spree, as if he couldn't just load it.
>>341612354
>>341612423
>>341612490
Well shit, it looked like it had potential to me, not many other games had really tried that formula in the same way. I actually feel like that's just as bad as devs that ditch a game half done, at least a half done game can get fixed if people want to mod it enough a lot of the time. Games where the devs purposefully do dumb shit just always die on their own.

i want to but

>>341609002
What is the point of having a gun for self defense when you can't even get to it in time to defend yourself? I'm not saying you need to leave that shit loaded under your pillow or on a desk but as long as you put it somewhere out of reach of children you shouldn't have to be a complete liberal faggot about it
>>341612696
>for implying that access to a loaded gun will cause the kid to go on a shooting spree
I never implied that he will i'm saying he CAN.
>>341612487
>Lack of zombies
It's weird because in older versions of the game I remember there being a fuck ton of more zombies, but for some reason there seems to be barely any now, why is this?
>>341612490
I remember people asking zombie MMO for years and DayZ filled that spot. If worst designed game sells millions then gamers are truly retarded.
>>341612741
Wait for a free weekend. They're pretty regular.
>>341599463
Are the cars in yet?
>>341612696
>>341612696
No I rely on education.
My son knows what a gun can do. He knows why his father owns one. He also is very aware of why he should not touch it subsequently.
I bought this specific Pistol because I am a parent.
It's a DA/SA Triggered pistol with a Safety Decocker.
I keep it in Condition 3, that's magazine loaded, Chamber Empty, Slide locked.
I also have the safety engaged, which normally doesn't allow you to lock the slide, unless you do it manually.
My son is going to need the hand strength, IF for whatever reason he overrides any of the learning I've given him and wanted to use it.
To disengage the slide lock. THEN disengage the safety. THEN rack the slide or pull the trigger.
Are any of you motherfuckers /k/ seasoned? Many DA/SA Triggered firearms have a bitch of a trigger pull. Especially for a child.
>>341609484
Not him, but I have loaded revolver in my truck and by bed and a loaded shotgun in closet connected to bedroom.
Don't have a kid yet, will probably keep the one in truck and get one of those cheesy quick open safes for bedside.
>>341613040
vehicles have been in for long time, takes a long time finding parts to get it running
>>341612696
>>341612696
I'd just buy Arma 3, and it's expansion and go fucking Play it's version of Battle Royale.
It's incredibly fun. Taken a shit all over my DayZ Standalone experience so far.
>>341612916
Sure, but he could also just load a gun if he wanted to go out and kill people with it, it's not very complex to watch some youtube videos on it. He might be clumsy doing it, but it's not like Eric Harris was special forces or anything.
>>341613040
The ural has been in for nearly 2 years Their inclusion did nothing to make the game good.
Bicycles, on the other hand, will go a long way to making this turd playable.
>>341612916
>>341612916
Both of your implications, alleged and actual are fucking wrong.
He can't
Due dilligence sees to it.
Sandy vagina happened because grandma was a fucking retard with a typical dysfunctional white grand son.
And mom wasn't fucking on point with her son.
Didn't he bludgeon grand ma to death, then break the Pistol & AR-15 out of the GLASS Case they were in. And then goto the school to shoot it up because mom was taking the long dick from the schools Principal or some crazy shit?
>>341613242
The more steps you need to take to achieve something the less likely you are to do it.
>>341613372
>He can't
You couldn't possibly know that, you are not psychologically linked to your child, stop acting like you are.
>>341613546
>>341613546
But somehow, you are? And can tell me what my son can and can't do?
Tell me, what makes you qualified to make that declaration on a mongolian stitching wall?
>>341612487
breaking point mod for arma 3 was good when there was walking zombies, hordes of nearly 300 in certain areas, and they were actually not that bad and didnt impact performance too badly, but now they zombies are more dangerous and are only really in groups of about 10, but still a lot more fucking interesting than the shit dayz has
>>341612487
I reinstalled after seeing this thread and seem to be having troubles finding any sort of zombies, it's just a big empty world, boring as fuck.
>>341613668
>And can tell me what my son can and can't do?
Yes, i know what humans are capable of and i know that psychological breaks can happen at any time. Lapses in judgement happen to everyone, your child is no different.
>>341612926
Originally the zombies spawned according to player location. This meant you could have lots of zombies with low server load but you could also meta game by seeing if there are any players in town. SA changed this to have zombies spawn regardless of players and they had to lower the amount. Next they are going for some sort of hybrid approach to get back hordes but I don't know the specifics.
>>341612926
>>341612487
There use to be heaps of zombies, hordes of them.
I'm pretty sure they were a very unoptimized nuisance, lagging servers to the shit and killing performance for many things.
At some point during an update stage they literally removed all the zombies for a few weeks to work on them. They also just can't seem to balance them properly.
>>341612926
They couldn't make zombies work, the detection was horrendous, they ran through doors and were very difficult to kill without a gun, you'd end up bleeding most of the time. So they just removed them all at one point, and never added them all back.
>>341613058
Mate, chill, I'm not attacking you as a person here, simply saying that it's a risk that doesn't need to be taken at all. There's very little reason to keep a gun completely loaded, and even less so around children. At least keep it somewhere safer than in your closet.
>>341613175
Never really liked arma that much honestly, the bigger scale of stuff combined with the clunky mechanics just made me feel it wasn't my game.
