Did you know, that BF3 does it by having the weapon shake. What's so hard about animating a small weapon shake and having a click sound play?

Because there are also switches that need to be animated on a weapon itself since they are there unlike on weapons of "leading technology giant DICE" that can't even program basic AI or ballistics in their cutting edge game for 8 years old hardware.

I'm not against it, but if BIS won't do anything about switches it will still look like it is now - you select automatic fire but switch still points at semi.

it's not that they can't, it's that they don't need it as BF has always been an arcade pvp game lol, stop hating like you're a 12 years old fanboy, and i bet a slight weapon model sway and a click isn't that hard to add, so the guy's right

EXE rev. 06057

* Fixed: open parachute action, paraglide orientation (Beta prep)

* Fixed: showing preview images with path starting with "\"

Hum Paraglide ^^, Far Cry Attitude : p

We can now test parachute ? Everybody can do no answered me^^ it's not an important question.

I want a crazy man to test all the things with parachute and to delivering what he's thinks about it.

Haha, if they need to animate the fire-selector, maybe they should animate the moving parts of an LMG first. That isn't happening, so why do you think the fire-selector should be animated either? A little weapon shake and a click is all they do in BF3, and it's all good. Just a hint: read more white papers about Frostbite.

It says the ACTION has been fixed and for beta prep.

I don't know if that means if the parachutes are actually in yet or not. To me, that change says it's not in, but they've laid the groundwork for the beta.

Yeah it's not a priority actually.

In air without parachute in alpha, there is actually many clipping with the border of the sea in 3rd view. And in night, if you are in altitude, the lighting were very bad.

We can wait the beta :cool:

[gliptal 25]

can someone also give me a link to the hints and tips for the settings menu on arma 3 to get the best possible quality and performance?

i cant seem to find any thing.

Here:

Yay!

[thr0tt 12]

That's 30 minutes of him saying play with all the settings until it works for you. Not really a guide as all the slides and adjustments he make he actually says he doesn't know how or what effect it has on the performance lol.

Still nice for someone who is really scared changing any of the options.

-standing near wrecks kills you for no reason

-vehicles(especially the ATV) get broken just by touching a rock or an object (I actually got killed by food basket)

-you sometimes can't take stuff from crates, instead you need to put items on the ground and then get the items

-AI is insane!!!!

1-Fire damage. But most times there is no visible fire. Damage system postponed to Beta?

2-True, used to happen with other vehicles but they fixed.

3-Annoying as hell! Sometimes items just vanish, can't pick up backpacks and so on.

4-It got better but isn't great yet. Set precision to a lower (.4, .3) value at configs. Precision not skill, dunno why this option isn't in-game like the skill slider.

Anyway, pretty sure that all of these have tickets on the feedback.

1. Damage from invisible fire (#3875)

2. Dying from minor crashes (#6687)

3. Disappearing items (#8012), Can't pick up backpacks (#1105), issues picking up weapons (#4252) and clothing (#1564) and more inventory shenanigans. (#8937)

4. AI are too accurate. (#3480)

Exactly, thanks for the links.

Did I also forget that the reloading sounds are too loud (or atleast have a bad distance sound falloff). You can hear someone reloading 50m away like he is reloading next to you

[EvenLease 11]

Why doesn't the mini gun boat lights work anymore?

[DaRkL3AD3R 1]

Because there are also switches that need to be animated on a weapon itself since they are there unlike on weapons of "leading technology giant DICE" that can't even program basic AI or ballistics in their cutting edge game for 8 years old hardware.

Yeah which is a shame. BI has such a high quality game here, but little things like this selector mode and feedback (both visual and audio) from changing fire modes, really it's that small details that make the whole package look that much better. I know this is just an Alpha and it's purpose is to get major bugs and issues fixed, but to me there's no reason we shouldn't ask them to work on this little issue. You can't deny that the way the game currently toggles fire states is extremely bland. It's lifeless, there's no connection to the gun at all. It's just an indicator changing on your HUD, that's it. That's what bothers me the most, followed by the lack of change in the fire selector when you look down at the gun.

Ah maybe in Beta or something we can be a bit more demanding on this one. Has a ticket been made on this? I don't really know how to search the tracker for them and I don't want to create a duplicate.

Thanks. I added a note requesting the ticket creator add the animation and audio feedback request in as well. I don't think that deserves it's own ticket and should piggy back off this one. Hopefully sometime before launch we get some loving in this area. Cheers Smurf.

^^ trivial but voted.

[twisted 128]

wow. i had been away from Aram3 dev process for a month. Get back and am geniunley blown away by how good it looks and runs. great job bis. and the sniper rifles with that bolt action reload just friggin rock. keep at it, defintely feels like its going in the right direction. fatigue blur was surprising to see as being more pronounced but easy to get used to.

[sproyd 2]

Yeah the sound on the SNIPER rifles is awesome - so satisfying. Yes there could be more reverb (audio post-processing) but I love the sample.

[pablo745 10]

the gear window seems to not open when you are in the water

i don't know if this is a bug or what

i hope this was helpful :)

Pd: sorry if my english is not very concise :/

no need for a bigger font and please search before posting ;)

[nodunit 397]

It's fine, though you should report those problems here http://feedback.arma3.com/view_all_bug_page.php

This thread is more of a "feedback on changes" thread rather than reporting.

[NeuroFunker 11]

i duno what gear u want access under water? Don't think thats a bug at all.

[chortles 263]

Seems to be more of an issue with being unable to even check the gear.

[Telefrog 10]

Okay, I am still having the issue in which my Stance Indicator appears off the screen. I created a new profile, logged into it, quit, then restarted the game and went back to the original profile and the U/I is still screwed up.

This is severely annoying.

[SweetMatix 10]

I was lagging badly since the last update, or is it just me?

it's like the fps keep dropping, and stutter and all that. Just asking if its normal.
