theevancat 277 Posted October 16, 2015 Why can't there be a middle ground solution? Why does it have to be either retard-proof with magic wheel mouse medication or full blown virtual pushups realism? I mean, I was being snarky. That'd be awful. Plus I don't want to deal with paperwork... I play Papers, Please for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted October 16, 2015 You know what i just realized? Not a single word on Audio updates at all... interesting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainObvious 95 Posted October 18, 2015 And not a single word on DX12 or further optimizations of this ancient engine... You know what i just realized? Not a single word on Audio updates at all... interesting... The latest OPREP is about personal protection and stamina, not about the future of Arma nor RV, that's what the roadmap is for. Focusing upon the improvement of core features and multiplayer systems, Nexus Update is a vital stepping-stone on our path towardsArma 3 Apex. Before creating new gameplay for this expansion, we want to provide a more robust foundation, investing further in gameplay features such as fatigue and personal protective equipment. Alongside these refinements, Nexus Update includes new End Game instances and extensions to the mode's functionality. Our objective is to create a solid basis for future MP content, using this mode to optimise shared systems, identify performance bottlenecks, and validate improvements in other areas, such as AI, audio, and animations.

CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted October 18, 2015 The latest OPREP is about personal protection and stamina, not about the future of Arma nor RV, that's what the roadmap is for. Yeah i know, i was referring to the Roadmap. It says Audio once, but knowing the current state the sound engine is in, plus the statement given about a pending overhaul, i'm a little surprised they didn't mention it a tad bit more. Also given it's coming with the Nexus Update... I can guess it's not a "true" overhaul, probably just a change of sound sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainObvious 95 Posted October 18, 2015 Hm, maybe it is a little odd actually, or it's the under-promise over-deliver no promises until it's certain to happen and all that.

It says Audio once, but knowing the current state the sound engine is in, plus the statement given about a pending overhaul, i'm a little surprised they didn't mention it a tad bit more.

I hope you're wrong :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadocComadrin 12 Posted October 20, 2015 The new hit detection seems promosing although still no word on bullets not penetrating launchers and weapons? I was playing some KoTH today, found myself running into a guy with a Navid, emptied half a mag of 5.56 before I died. I'm pretty sure his over sized machine gun stopped all my bullets...I don't think penetration would happen that much as the bullet fragmenting (until you get to higher calibers). It would still be painful, if not lethal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunedain 48 Posted October 20, 2015 Sure but even considering the bullets wouldn't go through, the weapon should at least be fubar. Something should happen anyway, other than the other guy just turning around and killing you like you've been shooting blanks at him all along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted October 20, 2015 In order to "do something" other than killing, it would have to fall into a sort of range between inflicted pain and death. For example, certain rounds that don't kill, and don't penetrate, should knock someone down, or knock them out temporarily. This could be used to represent shock or sudden extreme pain, as it's not like we can simulate broken ribs and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiki 1558 Posted October 21, 2015 Still no news.... When the hell can we expect informations about the expansion? What to expect, like new features or units, etc... BIS has, on the expansion, the same communications manager as Star Wars The Force Awakens or what? We'll have news 1 month before the release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted October 21, 2015 ... did you not see the roadmap declare that the projection on Apex is Q2 2016? The devs have already laid out the broad strokes of what they're releasing before that; we're hardly in " one month before release " territory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kryptongame 14 Posted October 23, 2015 Any idea if hit detection will be improved after this nexus update?? Currently, when I shoot some, and shoot them again while they are flinching, it does NOT register the 2nd shot. It will only register it if they are done flinching, and you can imagine CQC having hit detection be flawless would greatly improve the game. So any idea if the lessened flinching will make our concurrent hits easier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes of course, but still, been a long time with actual news about WHAT will be in the expansion. About OA for example, we had some screenshots about the new weapons or vehicles, long before it came out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graemeshute 218 Posted October 28, 2015 Maybe nothing exists yet...other then a VTOL and a Fast Attack vehicle. :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted October 28, 2015 You may be right. The VTOL is probably in early stages. So far, it's some fast attack craft, the VTOL, Ultra Light and Jet-ski for civilians. They said they be willing to show us some stuff soon, so perhaps after the Nexus Update i presume they'll show us some things. Either than or in between Nexus and the Eden Update.
