Zitat von Adebar

Abschließend geht Hall auf eine Überarbeitung des Loot-Systems ein. Als Beispiel nennt Hall lediglich hundert Nachtsichtgeräte, die es übergreifend auf allen Servern des Spiels geben wird. Sobald eines davon zerstört wird, könne dann ein weiteres an einer anderen Stelle auf einem anderen Server spawnen.

Das fördert im Endeffekt nur das Serverhoppen

aber nur solang, bis die leute es begreifen, dass es fast aussichtslos is, durch explizites suchen eins zu finden

Zum Thema Bugfixing

Zitat

Do you have a team that's dedicated to bug fixing?

The problem with having a dedicated bug fixing team is that often the best person to fix a bug is the person who wrote the method originally, as anyone else will take quite a lot of time (sometimes, that can be weeks or even months) to fully understand how a system is functioning and was written.

We do have two broad teams, broken into "gameplay" and "architecture", although the break is more in terms of assignments rather than functionality. In other words, the gameplay team are fair game to have their priorities changes regularly as new bugs come in. The architecture team are more long-term, and are generally more protected from getting assigned bugs (unless, say, that bug is at the core-architecture level).

I might say "we need to fix X bug as a priority", in which case the best person for the bug on the gameplay team will be selected and the task fitted in straight after their current one (or, in extreme cases, replacing it straight away). Very troublesome bugs can't be done as a priority, they need to be handed off to the architecture team for long-term analysis, design, and implementation. A good example is light shining through walls. The solution is dynamic shadows (lighting), but it's not a "bug" and therefore little than the gameplay team could do. However the architecture team are working on a new rendering system and so the "bug" folds into them.

also, it seems like some bugs simply aren't receiving attention at all

The order we do things is not related to how important or visible something might be to an end-user, it relates directly to the most sensible way to do it.

For example there are number bugs around zombies that we are all aware of. Nobody is assigned to fix those bugs because a team was assigned to making a new pathfinding system. Now that it is done, a programmer is assigned to making the zombies use this new pathfinding system.

Many bugs are tied up in "wait for new/replacement functionality", there is no point in fixing a bug for something that is going to be replaced anyway.

Is there a specific way the team decides what should come out first and when?

The team leads will discuss a roadmap item, and each discipline will say what is involved with developing it. Then those items are discussed in relation to existing and scheduled work. At the end of the discussion, the order of things is usually pretty obvious to all. Where there is doubt Producer, Project Lead and/or CEO will play arbitrator.

Alternatively, how does the team decide what to release? Is it a coding hell/goldmine and they release the minor items (weapons, clothing, etc etc) as they see fit...

Art/Map team has more freedom for implementation than designers, who have more freedom than programmers. In all cases, people are only supposed to "check in" (i.e. submit to build) finished work. However, sometimes what works local, or even in local multiplayer, and even the test environment... does not necessarily always work in full production (as we have seen!).

Above all, team leads make most of the decisions in discussion with their team. For important issues, those usually come from the top down (i.e. "We need to fix this bug ASAP"), and resource is found to accommodate for that.

When is that sexy fireman.jacket coming out?

I don't know, you're best bet is to message Chris Torchia on twitter and ask him. I'm not really involved much in the day-to-day of art now, as that's all his area.

What are some things you want to see in the sa? any specific weapons or features?

I think barricading is going to be very important and a huge new addition to the game. I think the new pathfinding system will be a good start in getting half-decent zombie AI, but ultimately I think the return to a stealth focus for zombies is what is needed for zombie AI which will come after the pathfinding solution is used by zombies.

naja wir waren zu 3. unterwegs, der eine hatte dauerhaft ne bandbreite von 70-90, ich hatte iwas mit 300 und der andere iwas mit 500....

daraus kann ich für mich schließen, dass es nix aussagt.

is blödsinn, habs mehrfach getestet :).

warum? keine ahnung

in baracken

was willst da auf einen stand bringen ?

machs jut

edit: wie dumm kann man sein, wegen einer waffe ein spiel zu verlassen

Bei mir isses ned einmal gecrasht..

bis dahin wirds noch länger dauern

hab ich doch geschrieben

Hey

ein Topic unter deinem

hier:

sind aber nur 3 pro server und zufällig.

Die AK sollte in Baracken spawnen und Militärgebieten, allerdings auch noch keine gefunden

People of DayZ. The team has heard your cries. Sniper (shot) feedback has been verified as working again in the next experimental update.

Oh yeah, should mention - the unnatural jitter in the weapon sway will also be resolved in the next exp update. Full credit to Mirek
