I am curious, how many people you think are developing the game?

I think we need this in A4 https://youtu.be/fAbcr35_Teg?si=EKemHewUCG96pJIX

Its perfect, the collective is more like the advanced flight model from arma 3 which takes some getting used to, but if I can pull off a 180 breaking and landing in arville with no practice after years of not flying, I am sure we will have misconduct combat landing videos in no time 😁😁

Dear BI devs, Excelent work on the updates and keep it up. Can we please have parachutes, even if its a placeholder it would greatly improve the QoL moving forward Kind regards and thank you for all the good work!

Well the helos are here 😄

Oh I understand what you mean, and criticism delivered calmly is usefull. The reason I felt it was a bit outside the ideal is when certian people only post the bad, it starts to look like a toxic forum. And you know people, you cant just criticise, you need to do the sandwich

If you yourself say you are acting as a bad guy, you are not simply giving your opinion. I have gone that route, dont worry its common, I also had managers and the jist from them is, wait wait wait, what you mean you have to be the bad guy, you are just giving yourself permission to act the only way you know how. Learn the other ways.

Honestly cant believe what I am reading, next you will tell me you are gonna knock on developer doors? I would expect the guy to act in the polite version of yes yes dear customer you are right we are working on it as thats what is expected of his position. Still cant believe you wrote you are one stop short of harrasing people, and you are proud of that!? I mean you got yourself a perfect position, you cry that its bad, if its still bad you where right, if its better you will say its because of you? WTH?!

But That is the thing, you maybe dont remember the early days of Arma 3, It had crashes, It was poor, and it got better even with the old engine. I had to relog every so often, crash but it was always fun and thats whats important. And through constant updates it got better. That behaviour that track record of always improving the game (sometimes free, sometimes with dlc) got them some slack other companies do not get. I never said that expectation is wrong, yes you should expect a full game. Evey team has their behaviour and what you can expect from them. Maybe you dont look at the same channels as I do but I can tell you I clearly picked up on that in the communication (then again I am a software dev so maybe its more evident to me). Posting angry posts here only proves that you care, but they should not be some form of bullying and gaslighting as this is not productive. Expecting perfection from people is not sane, sorry but that is the truth. I can tell you this as someone who led people, you always get more out of people when you are POLITE , CURTEUS and PATIENT. That is because lashing out when things dont go right produces two things. One people are hurt, and second then those people look to bring you down as a result. An Eye for an eye makes the world go blind. And thats the thing, noone says you should not say how to improve things, but if you lash out , they dont listen, they just react to your anger (Oh one more angry post ), and then your advice gets lost. You wan to be Ted Lasso in any interactions but you maybe dont realise that yet.

But thats the thing, you as customers want the finished thing. And I am sure BI knew every argument before they put this out you would be making. And they still went on ahead, so why do you think they did that? Money? Even to you its clear its not that much, and even when promoting it it was clear(at least to me), that its a testbead. Its a chassis of a car , no paint , no windshield no doors. Its in a state of early squad. Its a testbed to figure some things out and thats why we did see them swaping out the assembly (the whole principal of networking was changed) And to me your arguments are clear, I can understand your viewpoint becouse its thought out, articulated even if I dont agree with it. The reason why is because its idealistic and when I look at the features list its so much deeper than squad and hell let loose ( which suffer much more development issues than BI) I am not saying its perfect, but its def not deserving of the gremlin like posts every week of we still have some bugs in a testbed (sarcastic tone: "nooo waay dude")

Am I getting this right, they shold work on the engine with no income stream for 2 years and hope they make a return on the investment ? If you are so commited why dont you volonteer and work pro bono with them ?

@jakeplissken Im not sure who at home is not listening to you that you need to come here and vent, but I hope it becomes better for you 🙂

The Idea was to get all of what enfusion has and add the whole world simulation. If SC can get CryEngine to do that I am confident BI would be able to pull it off for 1 planet. I would pay a subscription for that. Nobody and I mean nobody has that in the civilian game market. Thing is, you will not have decent vehicle physics Reforger has,effects,shading, detalisation ...besides, VBS is for military use only This is a strange conclusion to draw as you can have both. This to my mind is the ultimate thing the map team can deliver and it would be groundbreaking.

@jakeplissken ... please be precise, the client (player) only needs 200 GB

You see thats all Arma 3 has, Personally I would like them to push the envelope and get the VBS blue whole world simulation in ... now that would be a mike drop feature 😄

I am guessing since the rehaul of the networking Prio 1 was deploy and verify that it works before anything else

I would say its a +/- 5 fps depending on the update , the last was about the same for me, where at the start I was getting 75 fps but crashes frequently. I understand your frustration , and like any new system be it a game engine, or a car engine, or plane there is a maturity period after it goes in production because what ever you think of, reality will hit. Any new system at the begining is complex and over time it becomes simplified and more robust. And I am not talking here about months, I am talking about years, 10 years to build a game engine is normal, and after that most games (ie cyberpunk 2077 2020 release) take 3 more years after that to mature (ok more on the graphics complexity that one while AR and probably A4 is more on the networking side). And also look at the diference cyberpunk now has a 30 bucks dlc, while we have AR, and later A4 . If you squint you may see the cost and time of development is similar. After the launch debacle of cyberpunk the studio went to using Unreal 5 for the next project as if you try to create a game and an engine its RISKY for the investors. And so we have AR so that when A4 comes the investors are well protected from hearing such criticism about their investment. Now you may not have not read between the lines like this , but this is how it seems to me. And dont get me started on Star Citizen, it took that company 12 years to figure out the game engine (which they bought) and create a medical system

9900k 32gb and 4080 and its about 55fps on ultra for a lg 40wp95c-w screen

@jakeplissken todays experimental branch is proof enough that there is a lot of work done in the background so have some faith 😋

Oh how I love customers that are such backseat drivers 😂. Do you really think someone will work better after reading your posts?

The only timeouts i had was when a router went out and the ping was above 999 ms, at which point I would expect to get kicked. As per coding with chat gpt .. its ok for some low level stuff but in a proper project, well it wont win any engineering awards any time soon. If you have some particular circumstances, best send them to BI so that they can fix them. Again any development team will focus on most wide spread issues first. If you dont report it, or if its some real edgecase, or if it requires reworking everything it will be pushed to later. Just by the max players its 6000ish players, if we go by 80 % rule where it will take 20 % time to fix problems of 80% of players and 80% time to fix the problems of the rest of 20% of players. That means for the majority of the project 1200 players will be unhapy. I guess you are in that 1200. Sorry but thats how your beans fell

Probably have dev, test ,stage and main branches. Guess which ones we see 😉 Also guys at BI, dont be lazy , write changelogs for us before mergeing branches 😜 (Context , 240 MB update of experimental today , not even a peep anywhere)

I am not sure what your aim is here other than to spread toxicity as I can tell you going from 200 peak players to 600 players means BI is doing the hard work and it is showing in the player count and that is precisely why they are not giving us "content" as that is easy and they have clearly comunicated that its a new engine that needs to be tweaked. So BI keep hammering out those bugs and knock every argument out of these toxic jokers. 😉

Hello Bohemia Developers, I really enjoy your games and I have a question. Is there any intent to provide the feature already existing in DayZ Standalone that enables you to carry bullets and reload magazines as this would be neat? Looking forward to your answer. Kind regards, Razor6014
