By the time this comes out DayZ will have had a year and a half to become a full game rather than a struggling mod.

Necro-bump!

This thing is in beta... and i am in! :D

Currently it only has a single gamemode, something akin to CTF, but you have to find artifacts or whatever and bring them to your base. You buy items and stuff outside of battles and can customize yourself, with gear from one of four factions, that you gain reputation with by completing some missions for them. Supposedly there will be something called Freeplay later this year, could that be the MMO part?

Had one game so far, with a PPSh, and was quite pleasantly surprised - for a game that's still very early in development, the FPS aspect of it is working very well! Had no performance issues, netcode seems to be fine at this stage, and the firing mechanics are very nice! Guns have serious recoil, that is a bit difficult to control. Definitely not one of those games where you can just spray full-auto and the guns and everything feels really quite fine :)

Gonna be playing more of this, try different guns, etc.

Well, this ain't out yet, either. Probably won't be out this year.

Played way too late yesterday night. Some further impressions: currently, the biggest issue is matchmaking, as getting even matches is very rare.
Basically, you get a few weapon classes - SMGs, "sniper" rifles (currently, only the top rifle in the class is actually a sniper weapon, the rest are just rifles with ironsights), shotguns (not all have buckshot), pistols and assault rifles (currently only represented by AK, a top gun).
You unlock more weapons and equipment (better armor) by gaining reputation, that you mostly get by completing missions (such as, get X kills in a match, get X kills in a row, achieve X% accuracy and win, bring X containers to your base, etc) for one of four factions. You generally have to be dressed in that factions clothing/armour to do the missions.
Rifles can generally kill in a single torso/head hit, or so it seems, but quickscoping isn't really an option, since rifles sway a lot, if you try and aim them after moving. You can steady your aim quite quickly by holding your breath, but generally you want to be standing still for a bit, before you try and kill someone with it.
So, yeah, currently the game is just an arena team-based shooter with some gear progression, but hopefully it will be a lot more than that, as development progresses.

Ok I´m jelly :mad:

Otherwise...it doesn´t have a singleplayer mode and I LOVED singleplayer in stalker, alll the lonely rambling around in the wild...*sigh*

I guess I´ll just watch it from the distance until it comes out

Post by: [ptx] on May 28, 2014, 01:36:33 am
Well, okay, it's nothing great atm. It's just a team-based arena shooter, with like 8 or so people on each team. They are not planning to release freeplay mode till the end of the year.

Also, hoping they make the balance less skewed by then. Currently, you have your low tier guns, which are hard to use and kill with, that do little damage and have low armor penetration... and then you got your top tier guns, that absolutely annihilate. You get awarded random stuff after matches, mostly ammo, but you sometimes also get some items, sometimes with some bonuses even.

I got lucky and got an SKS (one of the 2 assault rifles in the game, though it's more like a semi-auto battle rifle), whilst not being even close to actually unlocking it. Got some ammo and it seems that i can keep using this gun now. The difference between this and low-tier guns is immense.

Seems alright enough for a free to play game, but the shooting mechanics feel weird to the extent I didn't want to play anymore after two rounds. Mouse feels weird as hell.

Beta is now open for europeans countries. Saw some videos, and well ... It seems to be a harsh game, and despite the fact there's a regeneration, and I know I'm going to love it. The upcoming game modes seem pretty exciting as well.

Post by: NejStark on January 09, 2015, 01:48:56 am
Quite enjoying it so far. Its funny robbing the other teams batteries from their battery holder and scurrying away :D

Definitely worth a go asits free and not a massive download. If you like, you like, if you no like, you no like. I like it but my home PC struggles with it (10-14 fps).


Make sure you play while listening to listening to Gogol Bordello and prepare yourself for mucho 'KAK CyKA' in chat.

Never played Stalker with mods. Regardless if you have to use mods to really enjoy a game i can't call that particular game enjoyable per se.

But it was a grey and boring environment. Not like Metro series. Short sure but luckily there's 2 of them. (The second one gave me nightmares and was really disgustingly freaky at certain points.

Loved the shit out of Metro. The most nightmarish points were the ones with shadows and ghosts. Gave me creeps, seriously, plus I was playing in late night without any light...  :lol:

Lol'd that was the least scariest part for me (still scary) but not as scary as the fucking spider/scorpion monsters and their nests with mini versions and disgusting sounds....those birds who flew who sounded just like snakes out in the open.

 Well, it also gives creeps  :lol:  Did you play on max difficulty ?

I loved metro games, and I hope the atmosphere is going to be similar here, scary, and unforgiving.

I wish I had known what ranger mode was before I had played on hard. I thought it was some other mode for the game that was going to be different from the base game.

The "scariest" part for me was always feeling like I was going to run out of oxygen and the hardest part was definitely the end bit trying to walk that dude to the elevator with the pustules.

The Stalker series, at least the first and third, definitely wins out on the atmosphere for me; although it does have a progression problem with the first hour or so being kind of difficult before you have more stuff than you know what to do with. I prefer the first but the third has some cool anomalies and from what I gather is you have to play on the hardest difficulties; on the lower ones some bullets "don't count".

Volt Driver masterrace, 1 hitting gun with laser sight, 15 bullets, and actually polyvalent !



About Survarium ... Well, I'm pissed off because you can't choose your server so you get 1/2 chance to have 100 ping, and bolt action rifles are useless after rank 5 (they survive 1 shot, they turn back, and they kill you in 4 bullets fired in less than a second with a retarded smg). Also, as I expected it, most people playing it do not even speak a word of english, which means no teamplay at all (no one cares about protecting the base, we get our shit stolen). But even after all this, it could be really great with 3-4 guys playing together on a TS.

The cool thing about metros improved weapons, is how realistic they are. The bastard smg, the pneumatic weapons, bicycle shotgun..apparently one of the metro devs is a mechanical engineer, so he designed the weapons to be perfectly and realistically functional like that irl.

Downloaded Survarium last night.

Pretty interesting game, enjoying it so far. Loads of Russians that get mad when you kill them though haha.

Gun damage seems to be random, mosin can one shot heavy armoured guys but then wont one shot guys in a fucking t-shirt (hitting in same place). A few lil bugs that need fixing but otherwise a pretty cool game.l

Bought the scavenger's sniper rifle, I was so happy to 1 hit people through a scope, feeling like Vasily Zaitsev in Stalingrad's ruins. I was happy till I saw some guys surviving two shots ... Now, I know that in post apocalyptic russia, people are robots, not humans with limbs !

Still a good game, but the randomization of damages is killing bolt action rifles. Also, we (cymro and me) need a third guy so we can make russians rage more.

Yeah it was puzzling to see someone in just a christmas sweater survive a shot to the chest from a rifle, yet another time I got shot by the same rifle at a similar distance in the ARM and it killed me instantly, confusingly random. Still having fun with this game though, using the AKM now, it's pretty beasty and it seems like it actually penetrates through quite a few things people try to hide behind in a shoot out.

Is it me or there are cheaters ? It's like some guys admitted using wallhack. If only they had some kind of server protection against that shit.

Oh, and lol to the ammount of snipers on some maps, you easily understand why there's a fucking cap in every shooter. :lol:

Seeing as it has a huge Russian population it wouldn't surprise me, many Russians I have encountered in games seem to see cheating as a valid way to win at a game, maybe that is stereotypical but the games where cheaters are in large numbers usually also have a large Russian player base, I doubt it's a coincidence lol. Not just that but I've encountered some REALLY suspect players myself. I sprinted out from behind a building, the guy with the rifle ( yes rifle, not sniper rifle ) was a mile away, there was no possible way for him to see me beforehand and he head shotted me the instant I came around the corner at full speed, I really don't think that's possible at that distance without cheating even with super reflexes lol.

And yeah, when I end up in a game full of Sniper/Rifles camping the edges of the map I just do the same myself and camp between places within the map with a lot of cover until I can surprise those bundle of stickss. The only time I really use Sniper Rifle is to complete Accuracy missions because it's easy as fuck to do with that.

Post by: Algarn on January 13, 2015, 06:42:56 pm
It wasn't like that when I was like around level 1 or 2, but now ... that's lame. It's a bad shooter considering the ammount of snipers, the randomization of damages (traps kill you, damage in arms kill you, a fall from 2 meters kill you, mkay...), people using wallhack because fuck it, lets cheat, etc... But still, I hope it'll get patched, and it'll change those things, I'm waiting so hard to have a PvE mod, where I could actually wander around, find some loot, kill animals, that kind of shit that seemed to be funny in DayZ (although I never played it, sadly).

Cymro is raging so much because ping and russian players, that's fucking gold  :lol:

I was mad cos I shot at one guy and it was so obvious he had some aimbot whatever.

He was running in front of me, I shot at him and he instantly turned 90 degrees and one shot and I died. Was so fucking bullshit, raged so hard.
Title: Re: Stalker 2?? No. Survarium
Post by: Leesin on January 13, 2015, 11:00:17 pm
Yeah it's a shame, the higher level I have got the more I've noticed bullshit happening that makes me wonder if people are indeed cheating and the more I see battles where half the players are snipers. I also feel the faction missions are a badly implemented idea, they give the biggest rewards and if you want to level up in Faction at a reasonable pace you gotta  focus on them. I find myself aiming to get missions done first rather than actually focusing on my team and winning, stupid shit like getting melee kills, grenade kills, accuracy etc, where I could usually win a fight I find myself losing it because I am focusing on what the missions want me to do to level up my Faction rank.

I've also got bored of the AKM because tbh Assault Rifles don't seem to be balanced very well, they are of course more powerful than SMGs, but the recoil is immense and they fire slower, combined with the shit ironsights they have I seem to do much better with an SMG overall. Now you'd think okay well they are better at slightly longer ranges than SMG and yeah generally they are, but because the recoil so bad even at longer ranges I can shoot full auto with SMGs and own people at the same ranges where I have to fire slowly and control my recoil with an AKM, better off using a rifle for longer range engagements. Feels like they need to balance the weapon types more because after using the AKM for a while it feels like there is only a very small gap for them to be useful on the battlefield somewhere inbetween SMGs and Rifles.
Title: Re: Stalker 2?? No. Survarium
Post by: [ptx] on January 13, 2015, 11:30:56 pm
Looks like they're pretty bad at balancing, i guess. Assault rifles used to be imba OP earlier, just utterly destroying anything at any range, especially SMG users.
Title: Re: Stalker 2?? No. Survarium
Post by: Leesin on January 14, 2015, 01:46:07 am
Maybe I just fucking suck with the assault rifles, but I do far better with SMGs and most other guns and I notice more negatives than positives with it and I feel it doesn't fit the role it should be fitting because of the unbalanced negatives/positives.
