@@Hudszgaming No, they're useless. If you shoot one guy from distance, all of AI are aggro towards you, no matter how far you are. Combination suppresor + AI is bugged right now.
AI is one of the hardest things to implement, ESPECIALLY with a small team. It often takes YEARS with big maps because of pathing. This will be a disaster
Distinguishing friendlies and using the map is a whole part of the experience in my opinion. The strobe function at night looks sick and potentially diff uniforms for each faction but I hope they don’t change too much.
for real. I like the way it is. In real life they have to put arm band colored tape on. And I just seen a russian news press guy run into the wrong trence. so he is def wrong in this apart atleast in some way.
Constantly pulling up the map over and over gets frustrating and in buildings it's completely pointless imo. I don't want names above heads or anything but just something more to say this person is my faction.
@Zach-62 agreed I don't want them to spoil the immersion but I feel like there are small things they could do that could improve the experience. A small light on the back of your helmet that you only see on friendlies would be one of those things imo.
I hope they‘re making the day Night cycle quite long. Sometimes you‘re on Mission for quite some time, so half an hour of day and Night would totally kill the immersion for me.
Yeah it needs to be quite a long time in each. ARMA is about an hour of full dark and longer for daylight because of the dawn and dusk, which I don't mind.

I think that adding gear to make rich players more powerful in this game is a bad idea because pve mode exists and this would make pve grinding even more OP if people could get NVGs in addition to amazing guns for relatively low risk
If they make a wipe then I hope they get rid of duplication bugs etc first! Right now the servers are overflowing with 1-6times 20cm barraled mk18s and it is stupid
I thought they got rid of the duping? But yeah absolutely, right now there is no economy but if you have high tier NVGs and thermals you can't have duping.
@@Hudszgaming they might have gotten rid of it, but when all players can keep the duped bags full of wallets full of money then the effect of what this bug has done to the player experience persists, even if its now fixed. That said, wipe now would be too soon, there is too much stuff that needs to be fixed first.
My biggest issue is the LZs, if you have a heli incoming and enemies drop there ofc you will kill them making them think you've been sitting there all day camping. Instead of 2-3 lzs per poi there should be like seven. This is a big reason players avoid the pvp mode which is sad cause this is the only exfil milsim out there.
the thermal clip on adds a thermal overlay to night vision. If you look at images taken through the US army's new NVG's, the snapchat filter look, thats (usually) what thermal overlays do.
IR works both ways if you have NVGs. So faction based would be difficult because under NVG IR strobes are all the same. Same with lasers, if you use them and the opposing team has NVG they too can see the laser. NVG Batteries.. You can run a full night op without needing to change batteries at least on the PVS-14, could be different with other versions, but generally you shouldn't need to change them throughout a mission.
I wonder if they make it so you can only see your own factions strobes.... I know it's not fully realistic. But otherwise identification will continue to be impossible lol. And gold to know on the batteries. I guess it depends on how quickly time passes then, I think having to change out batteries would be annoying but I just saw it in one of the images they posted.
@@Hudszgaming a way to solve that would be with different blinking patterns. One faction has a constant light, one has a very fast pulse, almost vibrating, and one a slower blinking. They cant be a slow or complex pattern tho, so that identification os quick
I feel like just having a button command that mimics a faction wide comms check and pings units in your AO, showing the. On your map for a few moments instead of constantly is more realistic than everyone having IR stones or faction only ID strobes
This patch won't be coming until later in the year. Hopefully once everything server and AI is in a better state because it'll be their chance to bring back a lot of players
They need to fix the rubber banding and the insane one tapping by npcs from miles away or through walls plus they can see u through the environment. Hear u from miles away and know exactly where u are, they turn and look at u while scoping them from a distance. Falling through the floor while a team mate is trying to heal u. Npc stuck in walls there's more but all that needs sorting b4 adding new stuff that will most likely need fixing also.
Try relogging to the same or another server. This usually fixes it for me. When you spawn, run around a bit. If it feels laggy or you experience rubberbanding, just log out and log back in. It works for me, so it might help you as well. I totally agree that the AI occasionally exhibits unrealistic behavior, like long-range hipshots, absorbing full magazines, and having x-ray vision. I've even encountered AI that seemed to hover and fly. Endgame incentives and meaningful content are definitely needed. Key farming is tedious and should be removed or significantly reworked. I'm not playing those missions because I don't enjoy that aspect of the gameplay.
@@Bass_Nomad. its not just me but all my friends that play and some suffer more than me, we have done everything u suggested but the thing is we shouldn't have to log or reboot it should just work. I know its early access but I just feel fixing existing stuff b4 adding more should be more important but it sounds like they ain't listening again:/
That's a very good point about being able to distinguish friendlies from others. It's an ages old problem that most games handle very well. I understand they are going for immersion, but there are simply some things you cannot match to RL. One being facial recognition. Even if we're on the same squad and you put my RL buddy's face in the game, how do I know akimbo joe over there and I are on the same faction at a glance in the heat of the battle? I don't. I dont necessarily want something glaringly obvious, and honestly, idk if I have a great solution at the moment. I do know that in order for me to go back to PvEvP for these final missions, I would love to see a change of some kind. I feel like in the current state of the game, those of us who still play love the game, have fairly thick skin, and could take a change without going wild about it. If we did, though, they've already proven they'll revert and try again. Which is nearly unheard of in the gaming world.
why do they place colored arm bands on soldiers during war? because people may confuse other soldiers. even while hunting. u cant tell sometimes if its another hunter or why risk it.
The Jerry C-5 does not give you “traditional thermal” it’s a thermal clip on that projects an overlay. It highlights thermal objects in your night vision. Super cool but not the same
They not have anymore 30 people. The new information is 80 people working on this game. So for 80 people I would expect some faster and better progress. I love this game and for me the AI is doable most of the time. I got good performance but I got a high-end 7800x3d+7900xtx rig and I know a lot of people who got performance problems. The other thing is those AI are assets from UE5 engine and right now placeholders. That's what the devs said literally. For me important: 1: smart AI - investigating and those bush fixes. 2: Alot more Weapons + Gear. I love to build thise Weapons and even playing with a variation of weapons and not only like other people only mk4. 3: I play mostly pvp and have done byside 134 tasks and im lvl 38. But i want some more challenging in pvp. Base raids, events or whatever. 4: I would love to see more Player slots on the Server so server improvement is a must here. 5: If night and day coming make those nvgoogles so expensive as they can be so not 100% running with those in the game. Make it an endgame loot item or sell it for 50-100k. 6. I would love to see some Trucks as a taxi compared to the heli but I think this will not happen because of the Servers. I feel sometimes its like spaghetti code and nothing is optimized.
I don’t agree with the wipe because people can go into PEV mode, complete all the challenges, and build themselves up if they want to. I hate putting a lot of effort into a game, completing all the tasks, and then having all that progression ruined. It really takes the fun out of it for me. Additionally, if the new release content is based on night and day cycles, new players can still get involved in PVP by going out during the day and avoiding the night. For example, if they release a new weapon into Gunnies market, such as the scar platform. I want to be able to purchase those guns because I want to try out the new stuff. I don’t want to have to go through an entire large board of tasks just to try and get said guns.
The problem with this is new players won't want to join because everyone already has access to the best gear. Or you'll get a broken economy where the players who've played the longest have infinite money cos they're just selling gear to new players. Giving players who've played from the beginning all new gear for no effort isn't going to work.
@@Hudszgaming I see where you’re coming from on the economy side of it. However I feel like this is a problem that won’t be fixed by a wipe. You don’t want to pull a Tarkov and start alienating casual players. There will always be streamers and other people that put tons of hours into the game, that will always abuse the economy. Meanwhile, new/casual players will be stuck in this never ending wipe cycle where they can never afford the nice gear and never get into the high tier stuff because they just don’t have the time. It will seem like every time they play. They have to do the same 133 quest before they can get anywhere. This was one of my major complaints with Tarkov. I don’t have hundreds, of hours to pour into a game only to have all my progress deleted , and I never even got to use the new content. If they do anything, they should focus solely on improving the PVE experience. I like to think of it as ghost recon with Tarkov elements.
@@Longlost67 don’t play extraction/survival games then. Wipes are essential and needed in games like these. Like buying a truck when you don’t tow or haul much things with when you could have gone cheaper for with car. Same with this game. Don’t buy a game you can’t enjoy fully cause “you don’t have the time to constantly put into it”. If you play 5 hours, then that should be enough to progress you nicely. Do note that wipes happen close to every 4-6 months. If you couldn’t progress far enough in that time….
@@GenesisXtr3me The developers have stated that the focus of this game is PvE, with PvP being an organic byproduct that players can choose to participate in. This game is not intended to be an extraction shooter; that role is already filled by Escape from Tarkov. If that’s the type of game you’re looking for, go play Tarkov. However, many players are tired of Tarkov and are looking for something different. This game is for people who enjoy the combat and some survival mechanics of Tarkov but are tired of the repetitive grind. So before you tell people to go buy a town car or whatever you were talking about, watch the whole Q&A for yourself. The long-term goal of this game is to provide a story-driven experience. As stated before many players were excited because this was marketed to be ghost recon meets Tarkov.
@@Longlost67 the game is an extraction shoot no matter how you look at it. You take a helicopter to traverse and possibly even back to base. Extraction. But go back and read that truck analogy again cause I think it went over your head and went off subject from “wipes”. The game will get stale for people who get through all that content cause they have all the money they need. Then you’ll have the same condescending dicks who bully everyone in the server cause they’re super geared compared to the rest. Other side of the spectrum. Those same guys just give out money and gear to the “noobs” cause they have it all. Wipes are needed for any sort of games like these to keep degeneracy and exploits to a low.
Hope the dark zone or whatever it’s called is kind of like the movie predator if they are actually doing paranormal/anomalies. Also hope tattoos are added like they had in the trailers.
@@Hudszgaming just watched the first predator the other night and was like damn “that would be so badass if that’s what Gray Zone was referring to”. Haha
If you are referring to the area in the middle of the map in the game gray zone warfare, it is an interesting idea indeed. I am not sure if i would prefer it over something interesting but a bit more realistic but when done right it might be a lot of fun.
@@Bass_Nomad. I’d rather it stay realistic too but if you watch interviews they hint and lean towards something paranormal/alien so if in that case I’m hoping it’s more something along the lines of predator instead of zombies or Hunt showdown type stuff.
Honestly something suttle or more passeve could be interesting. A spot where things get blurry, a barely visible effect on the air that teleports you somewhere. Similar to stalker anomalies, but even more subtle @@NotThatGuyPal.
YES you can recognise. but when sht goes down. I can find a video of where a russian war front reporter ran into the wrong trench. it happens. i don't know how often. but that is why they place arm band colors on. what u think?
Are thye planing to do something about the AI? im tire of hitting my headshots and they scream like crazy and the whole compound is alerted even with supresor... f hate it xD
They made some improvements. Also (and dont tell everyone :P), when needing a chopper stare on the map and as soon as you see a heli flying of map( = despawn), call it. the one that's the first will get the new chopper spawn.....randomly calling a chopper every 15 secs is not the way to go... :P). But no matter what sometimes a lot of people travel and you be waiting. at least u can see where the choppers will be heading, if youre lucky they go to where you wanted to go and can hop on the chopper ( a squad of 4 might get a little pissed though i could imagine....).
As someone who only has so much spare time to game and unwind I would uninstall if my progress got wiped. What little time I have set aside to play games has gone into the progress I’ve made and to blanket wipe it makes all the time spent a waste
What if they've added a whole bunch of new missions and content and Story lines? I would presume if they wipe it's going to be like playing a completely different story
@@Hudszgaming it’d have to be so vastly different it goes from what it’s been to feel like the last of us level gameplay and cut scenes. It needs to be an award winning story without the gameplay to make me not feel like I completely wasted my time. Sadly that feels like a largely unrealistic ask for an indie dev team
@@TwoTenthsLeft Every game like this with a pvp aspect gets scheduled server wipes. The reason for that is to attempt to make it fair for newer players like stated in the video, so I do think it will be a necessary thing for the pvp. However, if they separated the pvp and pve characters and only wiped the pvp servers, that would be fantastic. That way only people playing for the pvp experience will have to periodically start over and the people that just want to enjoy the game with friends and fight the AI wouldn't have to lose everything. That would also help newer players get into the game and practice if they eventually want to play pvp. Unfortunately, I don't think that would be an easy thing to add into the game so I don't expect it to happen. Would be nice though.
@@ReclaimLucidity oh man I get it but my homies are not PC players so I’ve solo ground 99% of my character and I’ve done it in the PvP servers because I like that element of surprise and difficulty. I would prefer if they let you keep the gear you have on but maybe clear out your cache
If they just fix the AI that would be great. They have terrible pathing and they see you before you even know they are there. You shot 1 supressed bullet and every bot from miles around agro, just fix it!
We need ai fixes ofc but I think we also need different ai ie faction based ai higher tier loot higher tier difficulty so hits shots more work together hides etc
Jeez almost forgot FING door optimization if I had a dollar for every time I’ve tried to open or close a door and died because it didn’t work I would have 20 plus dollars not a lot but it’s insane how many times it’s happend
The movement needs to be overhauled. It is like you are running on the moon and when you are turning it feels like you are on ice skates, if they don't do this the game will never reach the level they are going for.
I had to get a 2 terabit hard drive to finally play. I was able to play in begining but slowly launching and playing took longer and longer. now its good.
Yeah this will definitely improve over the coming months. At least I hope so. I think most people will come back for this big content update to check it out so they need to have performance dialled in.
This patch isnt planned until later in the year. I hope that before then the ai gets addressed in the smaller patches they keep doing. It will still be a work in progress but hopefully much better than it is currently.
Just as consoles release new versions, with games built for those newer consoles and not the older ones... Upgrade or keep playing whatever your system can handle.
I love this game have about 300 hours into it but I’m putting it down for a while because of the trash bs in it such as ai walking around with no shirt tanking 15-30 rounds ( actual hits blood and grunts and everything) and him shooting me three times while I’m wearing full armor and helmet all top tier an the then dying and don’t even get me started on all the times I’ve been in long distance encounters when mfs (ai) turn around and hip fire me in the face from about 300m or best yet 90% of my deaths are from getting arms or legs or getting constantly shot not anywhere in the armor
I really hope IR Strobes will not be /faction. It is absolutely not how IR strobes work and it would ruin the game. As of now you have to communicate with your team to not get tk'd. Which also is true in real life. If I want to have the super easy mode of knowing who's who, I'd just play COD, which is a brainrot shooter. Also, in real life, you also don't tell apart faces under nods. Even with gen 3 stuff it's a challenge. Telling apart gunfighters via camo is also a luxury you will not always have. You might recognize your buddy knowing his setup to a degree, but that's about it. Look at ukraine, go ahead and tell apart one or the other if not for the scotch tape on them. For me grayzone is an awesome game because of the difficulty and the repercussions if you get lazy or don't communicate. You messed up, you need to spend a lot of money (what dupers already fked up) and time. Perfection. I hope they keep it "realistic" Btw, on the dev's table, that's mostly airsoft stuff :))
I agree, like in real life...a piece of tape should do the trick, at least during daytime. Teamkilling and also getting teamkilled is often a skill issue. people play this like its cod or breakpoint. used to be bunnyhopping rambo's or can kill several soldiers in a 10meter square area using stealth knife kills. where supressed shots cant be heard after 20-30 meters. this is not how things work. i prefer the realism. The more arcady stuff they put in the more i will lose interest. i dont like the strobe solution, it makes no sense in pmc teams in my opinion and you need gear to detect them. it makes no sense to give everyone detection for strobes. especially not when being low level. proximity chat and the map are a thing. you can do plenty of stuff to prevent getting tk'ed.
Did you say wipe? I completed the final mission god knows how hard this is solo...i aint gona do this again...if they not fix AI and they wipe , thats all il never come back to this game
I believe they'll wipe. With a game in this early stage adding a tonne new content, missions etc I don't see how they did it without wiping progress. But I'd expect the game to be vastly different each time they do it.
We will talk in two weeks, you will go wipe your account yourself....i am pretty sure....When you have everything and there are no more missions it will get boring trust me. Enjoy your riches while it lasts ( but you will find out soon that wanting the item that you do not have, and the journey to get is what makes you enjoy the game, once you own it, it will not take long before it will lose it specialness ). In fact, i have 4 mil, all vendors lvl 3. i head out with a $400 dollar ak, 2 mag of pp bullets. and a cheapass belt. thats it. nothing else. and go live of the land.....the real way to play man, its great. try it on your next playthrough. ( be carefull around friendlies though, they might mistake you for AI after a while :P)
After 190 hours of dam near everyday playing I'm burned out. Reset my guy 2 times now and 3 play through just isn't fun ass its just same guns and no change. I got the more expensive versions that gives me the m700 of the bat but guess what sniping isn't really allowed sense 90% of areas are all bushes and even with a silencer second another ai hears it they will 980 no scope 1 tap you
I have over 300 hours in the game and feel exactly the same. I've enjoyed the game immensely, and it was definitely worth the $30. However, the late game is missing the right incentives and rewarding goals. Farming keys is frustrating, and the AI behavior is inconsistent-90% of the time they're lame, but the remaining 10% are godlike with long-range one-tap, x-ray vision, and super accuracy using no-scope AKs fired from the hip. After three playthroughs, I stopped doing missions and now take one mag and an AK, heading out to see how long I can live off the land without returning to base. While I enjoy this challenge, I'd love to see more meaningful late-game content that isn't just more key farming or repetitive missions in the same areas.
Its probably on mondays right? PC is having an off day. Is having this occur once every few weeks really that big of an issue for a game that is an early access alpha? if it is you prolly need to get a 4080 ( just kidding ),
Hope they will never wipe this game , it make no sense , this game is more about PVE , I want another style of enemy ( we have only 2) and a real boss ! (That give more exp when killed)
Then don't play pvp. I am yet to see a sizeable chunk of players who are currently making their main progress in money, gear and missions by using pvp. The general feeling is that you use pve to complete missions and acquire money and then take those advanced gears to pvp. Therefore to say that thermals should not be included because of player disadvantage is not true since anyone can gear and level up safely in pve and then come to pvp. There's no one in this game exclusively playing pvp
Content ?? The reason no one’s playing this game is because it’s unplayable. They need to dump all their resources into optimizing the damn thing. Smh. I don’t want to here about content until it’s a playable state for all period.
The performance is already significantly better than when it first launched a couple months ago, but I agree it still needs improvements. This update isn't coming until later in the year.
People are moving on from this due to the awful Ai instakills. Having to redo the final mission in game after killing 56 bots because the Ai spawned right on top of you and instakilled you blows. I am done with this game as is a few of my buds because of the frustration with the Ai. Ill check back in 6 months. It is too repetitive having to get 20 kills, retrieve file, heli ride, repeat.
It's in Alpha testing so there is minimal content. The game is more so built to be played and finding what breaks and what doesn't work so it can be fixed and/or adjusted. We're testing the game for them as we play. Bar should be set pretty low for what to expect with the game in alpha.
I feel as though that may come when more missions come. Also, I believe they will need some more things worth buying with the loot in order for them to justify increasing the loot table. BUT I swear in one of the recent interviews, Rick said they were considering increasing the loot table.
I was looking forward to this game so much I bought the most expensive edition I'm making a prediction. This will be another Ground Branch. Probably get a few updates then fall off for years
@@Hudszgaming He is right; the game doesn't have traditional PvP, only PvEvP, and the PvP aspect is quite limited. What makes it worse is that in the small PvP portion, the players who kill you are often your own teammates, especially in the starter areas. The other part is basically Campers..... I guess there's a reason it's called PvEvP and not PvPvE...
Sounds like you're guys are playing the game wrong. Pvp is huge if you go over in the enemy bases are. It's pvp what the he'll else you need beside shooting each other. Capture the flag 😅

That's a very good point about being able to distinguish friendlies from others. It's an ages old problem that most games handle very well. I understand they are going for immersion, but there are simply some things you cannot match to RL. One being facial recognition. Even if we're on the same squad and you put my RL buddy's face in the game, how do I know akimbo joe over there and I are on the same faction at a glance in the heat of the battle? I don't. I dont necessarily want something glaringly obvious, and honestly, idk if I have a great solution at the moment. I do know that in order for me to go back to PvEvP for these final missions, I would love to see a change of some kind.
I feel like in the current state of the game, those of us who still play love the game, have fairly thick skin, and could take a change without going wild about it. If we did, though, they've already proven they'll revert and try again. Which is nearly unheard of in the gaming world.
why do they place colored arm bands on soldiers during war? because people may confuse other soldiers. even while hunting. u cant tell sometimes if its another hunter or why risk it.
Having a radio would help the whole identifying friendlies thing.
The Jerry C-5 does not give you “traditional thermal” it’s a thermal clip on that projects an overlay. It highlights thermal objects in your night vision. Super cool but not the same
Ah cool, good to know 👍
They not have anymore 30 people. The new information is 80 people working on this game. So for 80 people I would expect some faster and better progress. I love this game and for me the AI is doable most of the time. I got good performance but I got a high-end 7800x3d+7900xtx rig and I know a lot of people who got performance problems. The other thing is those AI are assets from UE5 engine and right now placeholders. That's what the devs said literally.
For me important:
1: smart AI - investigating and those bush fixes.
2: Alot more Weapons + Gear. I love to build thise Weapons and even playing with a variation of weapons and not only like other people only mk4.
3: I play mostly pvp and have done byside 134 tasks and im lvl 38. But i want some more challenging in pvp. Base raids, events or whatever.
4: I would love to see more Player slots on the Server so server improvement is a must here.
5: If night and day coming make those nvgoogles so expensive as they can be so not 100% running with those in the game. Make it an endgame loot item or sell it for 50-100k.
6. I would love to see some Trucks as a taxi compared to the heli but I think this will not happen because of the Servers. I feel sometimes its like spaghetti code and nothing is optimized.
I don’t agree with the wipe because people can go into PEV mode, complete all the challenges, and build themselves up if they want to. I hate putting a lot of effort into a game, completing all the tasks, and then having all that progression ruined. It really takes the fun out of it for me. Additionally, if the new release content is based on night and day cycles, new players can still get involved in PVP by going out during the day and avoiding the night. For example, if they release a new weapon into Gunnies market, such as the scar platform. I want to be able to purchase those guns because I want to try out the new stuff. I don’t want to have to go through an entire large board of tasks just to try and get said guns.
The problem with this is new players won't want to join because everyone already has access to the best gear. Or you'll get a broken economy where the players who've played the longest have infinite money cos they're just selling gear to new players. Giving players who've played from the beginning all new gear for no effort isn't going to work.
@@Hudszgaming I see where you’re coming from on the economy side of it. However I feel like this is a problem that won’t be fixed by a wipe. You don’t want to pull a Tarkov and start alienating casual players. There will always be streamers and other people that put tons of hours into the game, that will always abuse the economy. Meanwhile, new/casual players will be stuck in this never ending wipe cycle where they can never afford the nice gear and never get into the high tier stuff because they just don’t have the time. It will seem like every time they play. They have to do the same 133 quest before they can get anywhere. This was one of my major complaints with Tarkov. I don’t have hundreds, of hours to pour into a game only to have all my progress deleted , and I never even got to use the new content.
If they do anything, they should focus solely on improving the PVE experience. I like to think of it as ghost recon with Tarkov elements.
@@Longlost67 don’t play extraction/survival games then. Wipes are essential and needed in games like these. Like buying a truck when you don’t tow or haul much things with when you could have gone cheaper for with car. Same with this game. Don’t buy a game you can’t enjoy fully cause “you don’t have the time to constantly put into it”. If you play 5 hours, then that should be enough to progress you nicely. Do note that wipes happen close to every 4-6 months. If you couldn’t progress far enough in that time….
@@GenesisXtr3me The developers have stated that the focus of this game is PvE, with PvP being an organic byproduct that players can choose to participate in. This game is not intended to be an extraction shooter; that role is already filled by Escape from Tarkov. If that’s the type of game you’re looking for, go play Tarkov. However, many players are tired of Tarkov and are looking for something different. This game is for people who enjoy the combat and some survival mechanics of Tarkov but are tired of the repetitive grind. So before you tell people to go buy a town car or whatever you were talking about, watch the whole Q&A for yourself. The long-term goal of this game is to provide a story-driven experience. As stated before many players were excited because this was marketed to be ghost recon meets Tarkov.
@@Longlost67 the game is an extraction shoot no matter how you look at it. You take a helicopter to traverse and possibly even back to base. Extraction. But go back and read that truck analogy again cause I think it went over your head and went off subject from “wipes”. The game will get stale for people who get through all that content cause they have all the money they need. Then you’ll have the same condescending dicks who bully everyone in the server cause they’re super geared compared to the rest. Other side of the spectrum. Those same guys just give out money and gear to the “noobs” cause they have it all. Wipes are needed for any sort of games like these to keep degeneracy and exploits to a low.
Got the game when it launched, still dont have a secure container...
I will buy it when its optimized good enough. I dont wanna have to drop the gfx to low and make it look like a ue3 engine game just to get 60 fps.
@@xKyleNxCoD that's totally fair. You're not missing out by waiting.
Whats the scope called that you've got on in the intro?
Its the Vudu I believe or vortex? I can't remember.
Maybe a hub for the player that shows the gun and a few other things
Hope the dark zone or whatever it’s called is kind of like the movie predator if they are actually doing paranormal/anomalies. Also hope tattoos are added like they had in the trailers.
Yeah there's definitely going to be some paranormal activity going on I reckon but don't know when it's going to arrive...
@@Hudszgaming just watched the first predator the other night and was like damn “that would be so badass if that’s what Gray Zone was referring to”. Haha
If you are referring to the area in the middle of the map in the game gray zone warfare, it is an interesting idea indeed. I am not sure if i would prefer it over something interesting but a bit more realistic but when done right it might be a lot of fun.
@@Bass_Nomad. I’d rather it stay realistic too but if you watch interviews they hint and lean towards something paranormal/alien so if in that case I’m hoping it’s more something along the lines of predator instead of zombies or Hunt showdown type stuff.
Honestly something suttle or more passeve could be interesting. A spot where things get blurry, a barely visible effect on the air that teleports you somewhere. Similar to stalker anomalies, but even more subtle
@@NotThatGuyPal.
Un-ironically EFT and ready or not do nvgs pretty accurately
Yeah you're not wrong
YES you can recognise. but when sht goes down. I can find a video of where a russian war front reporter ran into the wrong trench. it happens. i don't know how often. but that is why they place arm band colors on. what u think?
Are thye planing to do something about the AI? im tire of hitting my headshots and they scream like crazy and the whole compound is alerted even with supresor... f hate it xD
Haha they have said they're working to improve the ai, I think the next patch that they're currently testing will have ai improvements.
Have they fixed the chopper issue yet
They have improvements coming in the next patch
They made some improvements. Also (and dont tell everyone :P), when needing a chopper stare on the map and as soon as you see a heli flying of map( = despawn), call it. the one that's the first will get the new chopper spawn.....randomly calling a chopper every 15 secs is not the way to go... :P). But no matter what sometimes a lot of people travel and you be waiting. at least u can see where the choppers will be heading, if youre lucky they go to where you wanted to go and can hop on the chopper ( a squad of 4 might get a little pissed though i could imagine....).
@@Bass_Nomad. thank you appreciate it:)
As someone who only has so much spare time to game and unwind I would uninstall if my progress got wiped. What little time I have set aside to play games has gone into the progress I’ve made and to blanket wipe it makes all the time spent a waste
What if they've added a whole bunch of new missions and content and Story lines? I would presume if they wipe it's going to be like playing a completely different story
@@Hudszgaming it’d have to be so vastly different it goes from what it’s been to feel like the last of us level gameplay and cut scenes. It needs to be an award winning story without the gameplay to make me not feel like I completely wasted my time. Sadly that feels like a largely unrealistic ask for an indie dev team
@@TwoTenthsLeft Every game like this with a pvp aspect gets scheduled server wipes. The reason for that is to attempt to make it fair for newer players like stated in the video, so I do think it will be a necessary thing for the pvp. However, if they separated the pvp and pve characters and only wiped the pvp servers, that would be fantastic. That way only people playing for the pvp experience will have to periodically start over and the people that just want to enjoy the game with friends and fight the AI wouldn't have to lose everything. That would also help newer players get into the game and practice if they eventually want to play pvp. Unfortunately, I don't think that would be an easy thing to add into the game so I don't expect it to happen. Would be nice though.
@@ReclaimLucidity oh man I get it but my homies are not PC players so I’ve solo ground 99% of my character and I’ve done it in the PvP servers because I like that element of surprise and difficulty. I would prefer if they let you keep the gear you have on but maybe clear out your cache
What kills the game for me is the performance...
Oh, it's a game, I thought this was just an UE crash report tool. I must have forgotten having spent most of my play time there.
🤗
If they just fix the AI that would be great. They have terrible pathing and they see you before you even know they are there. You shot 1 supressed bullet and every bot from miles around agro, just fix it!
People will not stay for long if they don't add better ground loot/valuables. Possible a different currency.
We need ai fixes ofc but I think we also need different ai ie faction based ai higher tier loot higher tier difficulty so hits shots more work together hides etc
Jeez almost forgot FING door optimization if I had a dollar for every time I’ve tried to open or close a door and died because it didn’t work I would have 20 plus dollars not a lot but it’s insane how many times it’s happend
The movement needs to be overhauled. It is like you are running on the moon and when you are turning it feels like you are on ice skates, if they don't do this the game will never reach the level they are going for.
I'm currently not playing because performance is unplayable but I'd love to!
I had to get a 2 terabit hard drive to finally play.
I was able to play in begining but slowly launching and playing took longer and longer.
now its good.
Yeah this will definitely improve over the coming months. At least I hope so. I think most people will come back for this big content update to check it out so they need to have performance dialled in.
your problem can be fixed for $20 per month. that is less then a dollar per day.
Before all these cool attachments they should fix the AI first 💀
This patch isnt planned until later in the year. I hope that before then the ai gets addressed in the smaller patches they keep doing. It will still be a work in progress but hopefully much better than it is currently.
People would less fortunate PC's gonna suffer from this :(
Just as consoles release new versions, with games built for those newer consoles and not the older ones... Upgrade or keep playing whatever your system can handle.
I love this game have about 300 hours into it but I’m putting it down for a while because of the trash bs in it such as ai walking around with no shirt tanking 15-30 rounds ( actual hits blood and grunts and everything) and him shooting me three times while I’m wearing full armor and helmet all top tier an the then dying and don’t even get me started on all the times I’ve been in long distance encounters when mfs (ai) turn around and hip fire me in the face from about 300m or best yet 90% of my deaths are from getting arms or legs or getting constantly shot not anywhere in the armor
I really hope IR Strobes will not be /faction. It is absolutely not how IR strobes work and it would ruin the game. As of now you have to communicate with your team to not get tk'd. Which also is true in real life. If I want to have the super easy mode of knowing who's who, I'd just play COD, which is a brainrot shooter.
Also, in real life, you also don't tell apart faces under nods. Even with gen 3 stuff it's a challenge. Telling apart gunfighters via camo is also a luxury you will not always have. You might recognize your buddy knowing his setup to a degree, but that's about it. Look at ukraine, go ahead and tell apart one or the other if not for the scotch tape on them.
For me grayzone is an awesome game because of the difficulty and the repercussions if you get lazy or don't communicate. You messed up, you need to spend a lot of money (what dupers already fked up) and time. Perfection.
I hope they keep it "realistic"
Btw, on the dev's table, that's mostly airsoft stuff :))
I agree, like in real life...a piece of tape should do the trick, at least during daytime. Teamkilling and also getting teamkilled is often a skill issue. people play this like its cod or breakpoint. used to be bunnyhopping rambo's or can kill several soldiers in a 10meter square area using stealth knife kills. where supressed shots cant be heard after 20-30 meters. this is not how things work. i prefer the realism. The more arcady stuff they put in the more i will lose interest. i dont like the strobe solution, it makes no sense in pmc teams in my opinion and you need gear to detect them. it makes no sense to give everyone detection for strobes. especially not when being low level. proximity chat and the map are a thing. you can do plenty of stuff to prevent getting tk'ed.
Did you say wipe? I completed the final mission god knows how hard this is solo...i aint gona do this again...if they not fix AI and they wipe , thats all il never come back to this game
I believe they'll wipe. With a game in this early stage adding a tonne new content, missions etc I don't see how they did it without wiping progress. But I'd expect the game to be vastly different each time they do it.
We will talk in two weeks, you will go wipe your account yourself....i am pretty sure....When you have everything and there are no more missions it will get boring trust me. Enjoy your riches while it lasts ( but you will find out soon that wanting the item that you do not have, and the journey to get is what makes you enjoy the game, once you own it, it will not take long before it will lose it specialness ). In fact, i have 4 mil, all vendors lvl 3. i head out with a $400 dollar ak, 2 mag of pp bullets. and a cheapass belt. thats it. nothing else. and go live of the land.....the real way to play man, its great. try it on your next playthrough. ( be carefull around friendlies though, they might mistake you for AI after a while :P)
After 190 hours of dam near everyday playing I'm burned out. Reset my guy 2 times now and 3 play through just isn't fun ass its just same guns and no change. I got the more expensive versions that gives me the m700 of the bat but guess what sniping isn't really allowed sense 90% of areas are all bushes and even with a silencer second another ai hears it they will 980 no scope 1 tap you
I have over 300 hours in the game and feel exactly the same. I've enjoyed the game immensely, and it was definitely worth the $30. However, the late game is missing the right incentives and rewarding goals. Farming keys is frustrating, and the AI behavior is inconsistent-90% of the time they're lame, but the remaining 10% are godlike with long-range one-tap, x-ray vision, and super accuracy using no-scope AKs fired from the hip.
After three playthroughs, I stopped doing missions and now take one mag and an AK, heading out to see how long I can live off the land without returning to base. While I enjoy this challenge, I'd love to see more meaningful late-game content that isn't just more key farming or repetitive missions in the same areas.
Plus how are we getting closer to patch 1 and still can't fucking toggle lean 😂 like who makes a realism game and dousnt think to add toggle lean
Yeah the toggle options not being in is pretty mad
When are the aliens coming!?!?
😅 who knows. Probably not for a while.
Eh lol why is it every few weeks I get out of memory and game freezing when I have 4070ti with i9 and this game being crap on the pc
Its probably on mondays right? PC is having an off day. Is having this occur once every few weeks really that big of an issue for a game that is an early access alpha? if it is you prolly need to get a 4080 ( just kidding ),
Do you have a 13th or 14th gen i9?
Hope they will never wipe this game , it make no sense , this game is more about PVE , I want another style of enemy ( we have only 2) and a real boss ! (That give more exp when killed)
yeah bosses double xp and bunnyhopping ( and some zombies?)
@@Bass_Nomad. what ? Chill kid
Then don't play pvp. I am yet to see a sizeable chunk of players who are currently making their main progress in money, gear and missions by using pvp. The general feeling is that you use pve to complete missions and acquire money and then take those advanced gears to pvp.
Therefore to say that thermals should not be included because of player disadvantage is not true since anyone can gear and level up safely in pve and then come to pvp. There's no one in this game exclusively playing pvp
Screw content give us stability and a game that works.
screw your potatoe pc you mean. game is perfectly stable and works for me, but i dont try to play this using a potatoe.
Ground Branch did nvgs the best
Content ?? The reason no one’s playing this game is because it’s unplayable. They need to dump all their resources into optimizing the damn thing. Smh. I don’t want to here about content until it’s a playable state for all period.
The performance is already significantly better than when it first launched a couple months ago, but I agree it still needs improvements. This update isn't coming until later in the year.
People are moving on from this due to the awful Ai instakills. Having to redo the final mission in game after killing 56 bots because the Ai spawned right on top of you and instakilled you blows. I am done with this game as is a few of my buds because of the frustration with the Ai. Ill check back in 6 months. It is too repetitive having to get 20 kills, retrieve file, heli ride, repeat.
It's in Alpha testing so there is minimal content. The game is more so built to be played and finding what breaks and what doesn't work so it can be fixed and/or adjusted. We're testing the game for them as we play.
Bar should be set pretty low for what to expect with the game in alpha.
Get gud scrub we don’t need guys like you and bye
Pre-Alpha Ken
i just want more loot lol
I feel as though that may come when more missions come. Also, I believe they will need some more things worth buying with the loot in order for them to justify increasing the loot table. BUT I swear in one of the recent interviews, Rick said they were considering increasing the loot table.
The loot table will definitely be increased. I agree right now it's just water bottles and pate 😅😅
I was looking forward to this game so much I bought the most expensive edition
I'm making a prediction. This will be another Ground Branch.
Probably get a few updates then fall off for years

GZ has no pvp. It's a pve game.
I can't tell if this is a joke or ... 😅
@@Hudszgaming He is right; the game doesn't have traditional PvP, only PvEvP, and the PvP aspect is quite limited. What makes it worse is that in the small PvP portion, the players who kill you are often your own teammates, especially in the starter areas. The other part is basically Campers..... I guess there's a reason it's called PvEvP and not PvPvE...
Sounds like you're guys are playing the game wrong. Pvp is huge if you go over in the enemy bases are. It's pvp what the he'll else you need beside shooting each other. Capture the flag 😅
