NordKindchen added a comment to T75076: AI refuses to drive backwards no matter what! [VIDEO].

What is so hard about letting the AI perform exactly what you tell them?

move forward = move in a damn straight line forward! Not: turn left right left right left right and then go forward!

Just damn let them do what you tell them!

This bug is there since OPF times

NordKindchen added a comment to T70487: Bad hit animation.

mickeymen pointed it out perfectly:

This is not a side issue. This issue stands literally in the center of all action. If you make a game where the main focus is to shoot enemys and then dont manage to get the very basics of it right then you got serious issues.

Clipping through walls - an example which you gave - doesnt happen nearly as often as this.

Apart from that its not as if the issue hasnt been around since 2 years.

two - years.

What we need is competition in this field. Only because BIS is the only developer of this kind of games they can afford to to be so sloppy. Any other genre and they would have been out of business long time ago.

May 10 2016, 5:14 AM · Arma 3
NordKindchen added a comment to T70487: Bad hit animation.

Forget it guys!Hope has been lost a long time ago!

We need to support other developers that build tactical and realistic shooters, like Insurgency, Project Reality, Squad, Ground Branch, Red Orchestra.

BIS has shown again and again that they fail to deliver the basic functions in a polished state.

I wouldnt put my hopes on a developer like that. We should support other developers so the industrie realises that there is a market for realistic and tactical shooters.

Otherwise we will have to keep up with this sh**t for the next 20 years.

Dont worry. Its only been assigned for one and a half year.

You should have noticed that it takes fixes and additions to the game 2 years MINIMUM to make it into.

Bipods? We asked for them since Arma 2. And that game came out 2009. So its only been 6 years.

So dont worry!

Just make you sure you wait at least till Arma 4. And then a few patches. Or not.

NordKindchen added a comment to T70487: Bad hit animation.

Pfffff I was once a big supporter of BIS (Which can be seen in my forum post about midrange improvements) but things like this are constant over the whole range of the game. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Other games WOULD NOT LAUNCH with bugs like this.

Its not FUN shooting people if they act like this.

Just goddamn disable the hit animation. They were bad in the first place and most games go fine WITHOUT ANY. Even Red Orchestra feels better when you shoot people. And that games HAS NO hit animation.

But well...its been over a year since this bug is reported. Enough said.

Confirmed: While crouched the soldiers will twink and tweak again when beeing shot.

I cannot test all the middle stances between standing and crouching because bots wont use them. You need to look into them on your own.

So: Crouching is not fixed.

Sigh...I worked in the gaming industrie myself. I am wondering why you didnt test every stance before marking this as fixed...

NordKindchen added a comment to T70487: Bad hit animation.

Its not been resolved! Its better now but its not been resolved! Walk crouched and get shot and it can still happen.

So not all stances are fixed. (Of course who would have thought to look into each movement ability duh...)

The lowered weapon position also still has this issue in a minor form.

All in all: Its been fixed on the most obvious stances but you missed many other stances and movements where its still occuring.....

I am gonna upload some videos....

Hey NOdunit! I came here to post this link too^^

I so badly hope they make the thermals more realistic AND FUN TO USE.

Because yes, as it is its basically a texture hack. I would understand if it would stay like a texture hack if it would display the real life but it doesnt!

In the link posted by NOdUNit you will se many many examples that prove that thermals while beeing a great help for spotting dont give away people as easy as in Arma III.

WE even have a comment of a real time thermal user

Quote:

"I personal spend 3x6 month on peace keeping missions i know pretty well how thermal/ir and night vision look like, it is not a magic "weapon".. And it is not like arma 3 or any of the above photos/tweaks that people suggest. Non of the systems are that good in real life. "

So I suggest you guys go click on that link and tell BIS that we want thermals that are fun to use for everyone (also for the guys not having it) AND are realistic.

Not possible. I dont know how keen you are with game development but adding holes through geometry for weapons is a huge undergoing.

Maybe in a few years this will be standard but right now its nearly impossible to achieve.

NordKindchen added a comment to T68926: Need real tactical military hand signals during stealth combat.

How about just adding the animations into the game?

ACE allready implemented this system in Arma 2 and there is allready a mod which integrates the gestures in Arma III.

But the animations are horrible in these mods.

And since BIS has got its own motion capture studio they could simply integrate the proper animations into the game. Ready for us to use.

It saves work for both sides while integrating a great feature.

@ProGamer hahah sry but only because its modeled doesnt mean its integrated!

Emergency wheels on jeeps? Modelled but not integrated.
FCS systems? Were modelled but not integrated in Arma 2.

No - I doubt it is implemented.

But towards the discussion: I agree to both sides.

It could be frustrating in certain scenarios. But so is the thermal view at the moment. (look at this ticket http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=2899 )

On the other hand if only certain tanks get this system it would add an interesting part to the game.

I vote for a version of the tank with this system. But there should also be versions without it.

Ps: Some Merkavas also do have integrated mortar system. Just to mention;)

Also it seems I cannot find a night with moonlight anymore.

@Dr_Death:

Dude...everything that shines emits light...everything that emits light is a light source.

Chemicals that emit light are a light source.

It seems you think that if chemicals are bright they dont emit light but...they emit chemicals??? If you think so you need to build up some more basic physic knowledge^^

Fact is: Tracers are a light source and shine the way they fly.

But I am against adding tracers as a lights source since the effect is so neglectable small for small arms fire that its an unnecessary task.

However at the end of the day when everything else is fixed and the Devs need stuff to do: Jeah of course then its nice to have^^ But this small effect is not important enough to drive manpower to at the moment.

It could not have been made worse. A simple smoke fontaine fitting for an exhaust pipe is all they managed to implement.

Even PC Gamer critisized the effects of Arma III in their newest video:

Sadly - even operation Flashpoint 2 had better effects than Arma 3 at the moment.

I know you guys can do good effects - you just need the time for it.

Look at the village attack in this video:

The unguided rockets looked way better back then.

<b>Also the impacts of the minigun are waaaaaaaaaaaay more satisfying in OFP2. Pls consider using something similar for Arma3s minigun. While the current tracers look nice - the impacts feel not very powerfull.

This is a javelin exploding - but HE rounds of tanks should look quite similar if hitting ground.

Mortars (this time civil war mortars^^)

I have to say - you need to mix in more black into your explosions! That will improve their looking a lot if well done.

Explosinos arent allways all grey. On top of that - it seems black explosions look a lot better in video games - look at BF3. Bf3's explosions arent that great if you look at them specifically - but they deliver the feeling impressively well and fit into the setting all the time.

Ill upload example videos as references later on.

The last explosions in this video look pretty satisfying.

This is an Anti Air (shilka) on the firing range. The tracer ammo looks quite impressive:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaYCjfvHIsQ

This is a tunguska firing its rockets (at 35 seconds you see it firing at day - impressive tracers;) )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cmsdtTFdsY

This is the autocannon in action at day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m2j44pogH8

Since you have some Autocannon anti air in Arma 3 as well - this is something to take a look at.

Sabot hitting ground:

Notice how its completely different than in ACE 2.

Ace 2 had it look like a normal bullet hitting the ground.

How Helicopter Minigun impacts and rockets really look.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liAnvVyf4e8

Miniguns have those sparkles around them.

Also: Cobra firing unguided missiles - look how different the explosions look compared to the explosions of the Arma3 Little bird rockets!

Cobra nightfiring

Also: Heavy caliber machine guns shoot up way more smoke than at the moment!

AT 4 shooting. Notice how some flameable stuff is unleashed at the front.

This is for example how a JDAM-strike should look and sound like.
I would suggest you only implement the first second of the explosion since the hovering smoke stays extremly long in the air - and tons of particles may be a concern for the performance.

But the first second gives a good impression on how big and impressive explisions work.

Would you pls take a look at the explosions of BF3? If they did anything good - its the effects.

I will upload example vidoes.

Btw: I was really disappointed by the mortar explosions=(

NordKindchen added a comment to T63286: Vehicles feel... weak. They stall while going up inclines, are weightless, handle too poorly..

+1

Ontop of that: Well it indeed is nice that BI implemented different gears (like first gear, second gear -and so on)

But it feels like the automatic transmission switches the gears way to fast and thats the reason why the acceleration is so low.

NordKindchen added a comment to T63002: Sophisticated considerations on how to get rid of the blurry mid range textures.

I am incredibly disappointed by BIS. Arma had so much potential but its lacking on every corner.

And this feedbacktracker is a joke!

Why do they even assign things? Its like they make fun of us! Its been over a year now since most of the tickets were assigned.

And dont tell me they dont have enough money to do this. Arma 3 and DayZ have payed themselves!

I cant play the game the way it is. The effects look like placeholders, the animationsystem is a complete joke. (http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=2980)
The animation when soldiers get hit looks like a clownconcert.

I cant take BIS serious anymore. And I was a really big supporter. I wish there was more competition in this sector of gaming. Its strongly needed.
