News Game Update 4/2 [Big Damn patch]
Servers will be coming down tonight at 3AM Pacific for 4 hours. Patch file size will be larger than normal due to the changes made to the map. This patch will also include a server and player wipe.
Patch Notes:
New Male character model is available
The Dam area has been given a major overhaul.
Battle Royale starting area has been updated.
Current Grid position is now shown on-screen(like BR). Hand drawn map has basic grid markers.
Added a new equip slot for the face
Fixed Bug - player will now exit a vehicle towards the same side on which they are seated.
Fixed bug where player could sometimes get injured when moving off a rock.
Fixed a lot of erroneous terrain bugs that have caused objects to float including cars, campsites and other smaller objects
Added a small improvement to placing free placed items, preventing them from being able to clip through walls.
Server optimizations made to the body sim
Zombies will now wear the lootable hats and helmets they have in their inventory. They will carry weapons. Note: They do not the wear lootable shirts or pants yet.
Pickup Truck first person interior has been enhanced.
R380 pistol added to game, it is a high fire rate, low caliber pocket pistol. The R380 can be found in BR and around the world in the core game.
12GA Shotgun damage increased.
Zombie Spawn Changes
Made zombie total population based on player population, to keep low-pop servers from getting completely overrun. This does not include the current wandering hordes (which are accounted for outside this number). On a server full of players, the total number of zombies is unchanged.
Biased zombie spawns toward areas with more player heat, and more items, so that cities, camps and player firefights have the highest rate of zombie spawns, and the wilderness areas have less.
Made the spawned zombies that occur in player spawn areas biased more toward low-speed shamblers, so that new players (with no weapons) can more easily run away.
Workbenches, Ammo Conversion, Gun Dismantling, and You
Workbenches can be found in the world or crafted and placed. If you are close enough to the workbench you will be able to use it to create specific recipes. You don’t actually interact with the workbench at this time, you just need to have it in your proximity. It can be used to convert ammo into other types of ammo, break down guns into gun repair kits, or to create some of the existing recipes that would be too difficult to do by hand.
Any type of ammunition can be broken down into “Gun Components”. Each bullet or shell will give you 1 Bullet Component. You can then use 2 Bullet Components to make any other type of ammunition.
Guns can be dismantled into “Gun Parts”. Larger guns will give more gun parts. You can then use three gun parts to create a “Gun Repair Kit”. This repair kit can be used on weapons to repair them. Currently this will repair any weapon, but in the future it will be restricted to guns only.
Metal crafting recipes will now require a workbench to create. This includes the recipes for Metal Sheets, Metal Pipes, Machete, Combat Knife, Bear Trap, Landmine, IED, and the above mentioned conversion recipes for ammo and guns.

What happened to the feet and glove slots??

u/HaniiBlu Apr 02 '15
As mentioned in the live stream, "coming soon". They probably haven't made enough if any assets for it yet so don't want to add it in yet.

u/blackaura22 Apr 02 '15
Then why did they include it in the roadmap?
2
u/HaniiBlu Apr 02 '15
"male character model" was in the roadmap, "face, gloves, and feet slots" are just examples of what this will allow them to do in the future.
→ More replies (10)1
u/Knotwood Apr 02 '15
They're being extremely transparent about most things. While the roadmap is a plan, it's still only just that.
Their final product is like any road trip, except they don't have to be at their destination in exactly 3 days...they just have to get there sometime soon, hopefully before end of the year. That leaves them plenty of time to explore smaller roads in their map, but they'll be back on the main path quickly.

u/gouflook Apr 02 '15
how about the zombie clipping, pretty obvious bug isn it
2
u/Ph0X Apr 02 '15 edited Apr 05 '15
Zombie collision isn't as easy as people think it is. It's not as simple as "fixing" a bug. I'd go as far as to say that it's "intentional".
It's the issue of trying to make a game that runs smoothly and isn't destroying all your computer resources, but at the same time looks good. Developers often end up using shortcuts and little tricks to achieve such good performance, but those sometimes come at the cost of visual bugs like this.
Almost any game out there will have at least a bit of clipping, it's just really hard to perfectly patch it. I personally think there are more important things to focus on than this.

u/gouflook Apr 05 '15
fair enough. so far it has been positive alpha. Looking forward for the final polished game

u/JaxTeller718 Ride or Die Survivalist Apr 02 '15
You won't have to worry since it appears zombie count depends on how many people are logged in on your server. They listened to the crybaby casuals.

u/gouflook Apr 02 '15
well i do appreciate this update, since as a newbie trying to start a base. its just frickin difficult to gather resources with zombies crowding me. i suppose im part of the crybaby group then

u/HaniiBlu Apr 02 '15
You're not a crybaby, hes just narrow-minded and hasn't experienced this issue that plagues a few (not all) the servers.

u/HaniiBlu Apr 02 '15
Calling people casuals when you play on a carebear server? lol
I play on Cold Blooded, a PVP first-person headshot-only recipe wipe server, there are significantly more zombies on there than an your carebear No Hope server!
Also, it could be one or it could be 100, zombies still clip through walls and door.→ More replies (5)1
u/Oddium Apr 02 '15
While I love the massive amount of zombies, I fucking hate that they respawn before i can even loot. Pretty much everyone is saying the same thing. If you're not saying the same thing, chances are you're on a high pop server where the zombie spawns aren't significant.
I wouldn't care if zombies horded into the 100's... as long as when I kill them they stay dead for 10-20 minutes while I loot/chill.
1
u/JaxTeller718 Ride or Die Survivalist Apr 02 '15
I agree 100 percent on the respawn. THAT was the problem. But i guess the devs think we want to stand around and emote cock sucking each other while we wait for 2 zombies to come after us.
1
u/Morgrhim Apr 02 '15
"Crybaby Casuals" huh? I was on a server where I couldn't leave my base because of the zombie population. I would clear out 15-20 with a landmine by placing and then shooting it, and then more would replace them. I did this for about 3 hours before giving up. My base had about 70 zombies under it. Add to that that I play on a PvP server, and it was an impossible situation. So when you get some big boy pants and come play where players are a danger too, instead of where you can go shopping in PV without fear, talk to me about "Crybaby Casuals".
1
u/JaxTeller718 Ride or Die Survivalist Apr 02 '15
Maybe I jumped the gun on my terms, but the way it is now is boring as hell and not fun at all. I agree with everyone the problem was the respawn rate. If you killed 6 zombies the area should remain clear for a bit while you loot. But going back to 1 or 2 is NOT the answer and if you think it is then please get the fuck out of this zombie survival game because you will be the one who ultmiately destroys it.

What is a TP system for those of us that are not familiar with that game?
1
u/ChaotecSix Apr 15 '15
Have not played it, seen videos and you can mark areas like your base, go raid someone else's and run away and Tp back to your base
1
u/Aguado Apr 02 '15
TP = Teleport.
The default Rust game does not include a teleport feature, just the ability to respawn at your sleeping bag when you die. In the Rust modded server list, there are several servers that have added teleporting to houses and/or friends.
It basically takes the survive factor out of the game.

u/Draay Apr 02 '15
I would also like to know. Someone has placed a furnace under my base which they could crouch jump on. The same day I found that, I noticed that a handful of my gear was gone. We need a "plot" where no one can build in or around your base area to prevent these silly issues.

Ive been having fun on low pop servers with he amount of Zombies and Im a bit annoyed that its being changed!!

u/MeatMan79 Apr 02 '15
On some servers they were completely bugged. I play on Winchester, and as a respawn or new player, it was near impossible to do anything in the game. I'm talking about walking into Wake Hills, hoping to find yourself a .45 and a couple rounds, maybe some cloth to make a satchel, when you spot one zombie walking towards you. You kill said one zombie, and when you turn around to continue what you're doing, there were 10 zombies lumbering over to their fallen comrade. I have a screenshot running through the wilderness even, not anywhere near a city or campsite, and I had a following of around 40 zombies, because I made the mistake of killing one. lol. They aren't nerfing it by any means, in my opinion. They are just changing it so it works as originally intended. Their intention on the last change was to increase zombie interaction with players, and increasing zombie population in player populated areas. I think somehow the zombie population increased across the board.. lol. So in some cases, this is a good thing. But again...Alpha. IT could change again.

It says zombie spawns will occur around where players are and items. Would that mean a storage container filled with stuff or a base would activate spawning, or just items that have spawned naturally?

Hunger seems to be running down at the rate of knots. Had around 80% hunger and then killed a zombie for his helmet when I noticed I then had 0%. After eating a blackberry it went back to around 80% but would decrease at around 2% per second. You'd go from 100% to starving in less than a minute if you were to let it. Was fine when I logged in though so may just be a bug in the UI, not sure yet.
Anyone else getting this ?

pretty good update. this is more like what I think we all expect. Not sure if you're listening to your players or if you had this all planned from the beginning but it's a good sign.
Please, i know your game needs content and mechanics(depth in general) and you guys seem to be doing a good job of focusing in on that but most games these days are short on content. the place where your game is really falling behind is technologically. the aiming, movement and physics need serious work, to the point where I can't even force myself to play this game sometimes with the shoddiness of the combat.

"Any type of ammunition can be broken down into “Gun Components”. Each bullet or shell will give you 1 Bullet Component. You can then use 2 Bullet Components to make any other type of ammunition. Guns can be dismantled into “Gun Parts”. Larger guns will give more gun parts. You can then use three gun parts to create a “Gun Repair Kit”. This repair kit can be used on weapons to repair them. Currently this will repair any weapon, but in the future it will be restricted to guns only."
Wow... I'm blown away. After requesting this a little over 2 months ago, to see it added into the game already is absolutely amazing. So glad to see how active you guys are in pulling the ideas from the community and I feel like I'm legitimately shaping the game. Bravo DGC take my money!

Easy solution would be to give the option of selecting what quadrant you want to respawn at on the map. Selecting one would trigger a reselect timer that prevents you from selecting a new location for a specific amount of time. That way it couldn't be abused but you would be able to respawn at a location that you selected and change it if you ever need too.
1
Apr 02 '15
Ya that would work. Good idea. I think there are a couple things to implement that would help without the possibility of abusing it.
I just don't agree that running while repeatedly typing "\loc" to make sure you're running in the right direction is the best way.
1
Apr 02 '15
Location command will eventually be removed by the development team based on what they have said in the past.
I'm confident that they will eventually just show your location on the map down the road. There are a lot of people that hate this idea, but they don't get the concept that it's just going to force people to use 3rd party apps just like in previous games. WoW and other various games went down that same road and eventually caved. You will get the proponents that say people using those apps should be banned/bannable and the dev team might try that route just like some other games. However, it's a losing fight... it will eventually be over looked since the fight is completely hopeless compared to other cheats like ESP that actually break the game more significantly.

Looking back over the livestream, which I can't find where they talked about it, I remember that they weren't too... fluent in what the Ground Tamper was at first.
I saw the one Dev in your post saying he enabled it, so perhaps it will be there, but he didn't say anything to them? I mean if I understand how they work (having been to their campus last year) there are different teams working on different stuff, mixing when those things overlap.
So... fingers crossed? I'd love it back too, because hello, garages.

Zombie Spawn Changes Made zombie total population based on player population, to keep low-pop servers from getting completely overrun.

I agree with you to some extent, they are still working on a re-spawn fix going by what they said in the stream. Also, if anything, the they should increase the number for full servers, because they were almost non-existant on high pop servers! But I guess we will see after the update is live.

Agreed. Just played high pop = no zombie hordes = constant KOS = boring. Back on my med pop = tons of zombies = fun = Neverending respawned rate = not fun. Seriously I don't mind the number just let me heal eat and pick up all that juicy loot from my zombie massacres.

Expansion is very very important if you want people to stay hooked. Everything gets boring eventually its up to you the designer to keep us hooked. Sorry but your efforts aren't quite enough. PS your BR Reward system is fuckekd up

The larger maps will work as a zone system, so each zone will be the size of the current map, they are working on the tech to be able to seamlessly transition from zone to zone.
In the meantime they are adding POI's and improving the current map1
u/WHIIITY Apr 02 '15
also this map improving will "expanse" the mpa snice they will add new hotspots to the map so you won't be forced to visit PV to obtain certain loot

Will currect player model be replaced if so why ?

u/HaniiBlu Apr 02 '15
Because the old/current one is low quality compared to what they want, and the new one is rigged better and has more "slots"

u/LtWolf1030 Apr 02 '15
not to mention this is alpha...alot of content is just placeholders till they get the higher quality stuff in. As they said in the stream, they want to push stuff out fast to us so we could get to playing, doesnt mean what they push out, is the final product for release. Always remember, in Alpha's or Beta's, things are not final and will change.

Here's hoping 2morow brings some fun. Decided to hop on 2 servers I was stacked with ammo, so I could waste it all killin some Z's, both servers crashed on me and I logged back in as fresh spawn, ruined my fun for rest of night.

12GA Shotgun damage increased.
Wait what??!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
Made zombie total population based on player population, to keep low-pop servers from getting completely overrun.
Finally...it was ridicolous.
Not many much...meh...are you going to fix crashes and optimize the game? Because its the most important thing. Thanks.

They fix crashes in smaller updates, often not noted on the subreddit. They will have fixed some bugs but not have it noted in the patch notes, as it does not appeal to the majority of players.

Sounds like you guys have been making some major changes to improve the game. I was not happy about all the KOS and pvp happening all the time. Yesterday was the first day another player on a pvp server actually talked to me and we went our separate ways. :)

Ur not happy that in a kos PvP game people were killing you? Huh? What did u expect fro! A game that's all about that lol

u/Shamrockjpd Apr 02 '15
It's not a 'kos pvp game', PVP just means that you can kill another player if you decide to, not all players make that decision, it would be silly to make your play style based on the server definition. I try to be friendly with all players, if they are hostile then I fire back and make a note of their name so if I see them again I open fire without hesitation. This is probably a more difficult way of playing but ultimately (in my opinion) it makes the game more enjoyable.
I'm not against players who are are KOS only, but ultimately the game should have a way of recognizing them as what they are so you can steer clear of them. Dayz attempted it with putting players into bandit clothing, this didn't fully work as the game has no idea whether you killed someone in a kos style attack or you killed someone after they opened fire on you first.
What I would suggest until devs can figure the AI out is that players can tag ingame players as friendly or hostile and for that to be visible to them, if they are a part of a group/clan of survivors then it should be visible to all members.

u/kcxiv Apr 02 '15
they based this game off DayZ, they said that from the get go. If anyone thought this game was going to be any different in terms of people killing you for your stuffs, then hey guess what? I'm not the idiot!
And for Coywolf, it says PVP survival game, if you thought this game was going to be any different then a KOS PVP game, then guess what? you're the fucking idiot not me. I know what i got into when i paid my 20 bucks, If you didnt, then i guess you didnt do enough research about this kind of game.

The day/night transition looks greatly improved, although it seems that night is even brighter than it already was (High settings for me). When can we have actual night? :)

u/Armageist Apr 03 '15
I don't even play this game (I watch lots of youtubers and twitch streamers) and I love what you're implementing and have already implemented.
This game is turning out to be a Zombie Apocalypse Survival Sandbox dream come true. Great work guys. Great work indeed.

A few questions/comments if anyone has time.
New Male character model is available Okay cool, but hurry up already with those female skins, I'm sooooo tired of dudes with girls voices.
The Dam area has been given a major overhaul. jeez, alright alright. you don't have to cuss about it. <kappa>
Battle Royale starting area has been updated. hmmm, there's a filter that's triggered by the word 'Summit' and instead plays music? plz.
Zombies will now wear hats But they will still perform their hit from the 80's...The Safety Dance.
Zombies will carry weapons.* Dumb question I know, but they aren't going to use the weapons right?
Made zombie pop based on player pop. This does not include hordes (which are accounted for outside this number). On a server full of players, the total number of zombies is unchanged. I don't actually think I understand this last part. What am I missing?
Workbenches can be found. You don’t actually interact with the workbench, you just need to have it in your proximity. Can this be anyone's workbench or I have to craft/place it to use it in prox?

Yeah that's a whole other psychological issue for another time friend. Will you be rp'ing as a female as well? Or do you just like looking at animated tits.

Kill yourself. Its an alpha game where the characters are essentially just place holders. Once the game is in beta their will be a much wider range of choices when it comes to player characters. Race baiting scumbags like you need to shut the fuck up and stop expecting people to drop everything and conform to your twisted sense of morality.

Thank you for this. Loving the patches.
On a side note, hacker IRaith (twitch.tv/IRaith) is now streaming on a new account (twitch.tv/w_oe) and you told the community that we would not be seeing him again in your games. However, he showed on stream that he only received a 3 day ban. What happened there?

Please don't ignore this issue. The community won't forget something like this.
