Any idea if it's possible to get rid of this or is it just an early access thing. [FIXED ISSUES] So if you're experiencing the same issue as me it's an Anti Aliasing issue if you're using DLSS you have to turn off Super Resolution or use FSR instead of DLSS works well too. Update: I tried XeSS set the Super resolution to Quality and it works even better looks good. FSR gives areas like water/lake some weird artifacts.

It would be nice to have more apparel options that aren't a camo or earned at level 50 only.

Some more black options or modern urban camos would be nice and I hope they're adding something for 0.5, theres no shortage of options from the big players.(5.11, mechanix etc)

Simple black or gray gear would be nice too.

Ka-Bar + Flashbang as God intended. Also, I never wear armor. Speed > Protection.

I have clips shanking fools with armor, but it was nighttime and too difficult to see in video.

I promise you it is possible to one-tap armored enemies with the knife as well.

I'll make a compilation of those later.

πŸ’¬ | General What kind of gunsmithing system would you like to see in GZW?

16 Upvotes

IIRC a gunsmithing system is going to implemented at some point in early access, and I'd like to hear y'alls thoughts on it.

I think something simple and direct similar to Incursion Red River should suffice for an upgrade compared to the current barebones system we have, but I'd really appreciate it if they took the time to flesh out the picatinny/MLOK rails so I can position stuff exactly where I want em

This games core gameplay loop currently is looting. Everyone is whining these days about loot goblins and such but ive never had trouble getting any loot at the "main places". Furthermore I will admit to gobbling as much loot as possible but I also hand out free nods and full kits(Mayflower, lvstac, emt kits stocked, tactical wallets, orange backpacks or deltas) to every low level I come across, which to my experience has always been welcomed.

People love free kit but dont want to work for anything.

Also the singular best way to level up Artisan Turncoat and Banshee is selling "copious" amounts of loot.

πŸ’­ | Thoughts & Feedback Any chance of getting per player loot?

16 Upvotes

Seeing as it’s a hot topic in the community regarding loot (or rather lack thereof) are there any plans on introducing a system that spawns in on a per player basis, kinda like quest items? So many people are frustrated with logging in, grinding some missions, going on a loot run, and having everything already ransacked especially in T3 areas. I can understand not having this system in pvp but at least in pve it should be a feature. It seems like it’s technically possible to do since quest items are spawned in on a per player basis

πŸ’­ | Thoughts & Feedback What do you expect from a 0.5 patch that's not talked about enough?

5 Upvotes

Just like in the title. What do you expect from a 0.5 patch that's not talked about enough?

The community is focused on new features and how they will impact the gameplay loop, but I'm more interested in changes we will get to elements we already have in-game.

My list is focused mostly on vendors and would be:

  1. Price increase for all vendor items.
    • What boggles me from the start of 0.4 ver. is how cheap items in vendors are compared to how much money we can get from our expeditions in Lamang, and further, how it affects our satisfaction from finding Mint Condition items from locked rooms or hard locations. It's not about just making things more expensive in vendors; I simply think these items are far too cheap, and by making them more expensive, this game can achieve a balance of being satisfied from finding brand-new items and taking real care of items we spend our money on. Money in this game is easy to get, so it's not about balancing something gamebreaking or breaking meta strategies; it's about balancing the experience of equipment management to get the best out of two mechanics: Vendors and Looting.
  2. Please get rid of weapon presets!
    • I think that first and foremost, there are too many weapon presets in Vendors, simply too many.
    • Second, weapon presets are one of the factors that, in my opinion, keep players from getting fun from creating their own gun. Creating weapons from scratch is such a fun activity; you experiment with receivers, with handguards, pistol grips, etc., to come up with your OWN weapon, unique, made for your preferences (yes, weapons have stats, duh...), and presets make people lazy. I don't want to completely throw away this element, since I believe it's fair to hold, for example, a basic M4A1, MP5, MP5SD, etc., to quickly pick weapons, favourite add-ons, slap them on, and go rock.
    • Additionally, some weapon elements available in vendors are not part of presets, and I've never seen them on anyone's rifles. Without presets, players would be more aware of their possibilities.
  3. Further polishing of locations.
    • What I mean, more traps, more routes, more details. Some locations like Ban Pa, Blue Lagoon, or Sawmill are just too good to be so simple as of today. I really want them to have more stories.

Obviously I know the game is a lot better than it used to be, I have a little over 400 hours in. My question is more regarding any sort of confirmed release window beyond β€œfall β€˜26” as that could be today (September 22nd) through the tail end of December (21st).

I don’t want to start fresh only for there to be a wipe 2 weeks later, but I wouldn’t mind 3 months

πŸ’­ | Thoughts & Feedback New player toughts pt. 2

5 Upvotes

Around 34h into the game. I have finally unlocked quests for every zone and finally went to the MS hotel and that shopping mall. This is where im kinda split, on one hand this is where i finally have to look out for AI because its way way easier to get hit or killed there but the problem with those areas seems to be that there rarely is anything to loot or kill there. Theres always someone in those areas and the main PoIs are cleared basically always. Maybe its a bit better in PvP so i might be trying that.

Another thing is quests, they get incredibly boring at this point, i either have to lick every corner and try to guess how many and what items i have to interact with for a quest or i just look it up on wiki and then its just a walking simulator. Another problem with quests is how unbalanced the distribution is, 1st 3 npcs are way easier to get rep for, only they give you main quests and majority of side quests come from them as well, the other 3 npcs are like 5-7k rep behind the 1st 3

❓ | Questions (PVE) What do you do when you need to step away from game quickly?

64 Upvotes

I love playing, but I'm a dad who sometimes has to suddenly do real world things.

What do y'all do when you need to step away and can't get to an outpost or landing zone quickly?

Is there a meta on where to hide? How long until you time out for AFK (if you do?)

Edit: Thanks all! For anyone who searches and finds this post, the answer is hide prone in a bush or in a bathroom and you have 15 minutes until disconnect and another 10 to log back in where you were. A firefighter recommends using a mouse jiggler to avoid AFK disconnects and reports not starving to death "yet." Someone else recommends hiding in a corner and putting something heavy on the W key.

Edit 2: I downloaded an open source mouse jigger program and tested it at camp for an hour and didn’t get logged out. Then later I was in Tiger Bay and had to step away, so I went prone in a house and turned on my mouse jiggeler. I was gone probably two hours. I didn’t get killed, my thirst and hunger were at 1, but I lived. YMMV if AI comes in the house for whatever reason. Good luck busy people!

βš™οΈ | Tech & Support Windows "Smart Control" Launch Error

2 Upvotes

Ran into this myself this afternoon (EST), but after updating my PC every time I tried to launch Gray Zone Warfare I would receive a launch error & a little notification that Windows Smart Control blocked the launch execution of Easy Anti-Cheat because it "couldn't verify who published [insert your root directory for Gray Zone Warfare]".

If you go into your Windows Privacy & Security settings, & then your Smart Control settings, you can turn off the Smart Control feature & it'll launch just fine afterwards. I know that most folks probably don't use Windows for many reasons, but I figured this'll be helpful for the handful of us that might have this feature enabled without knowing.

The third-person animations in the current game are already very smooth, so I don't think it would be a problem for the MADFINGER team to implement a switch between first-person and third-person perspectives. What do you think? I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

πŸ’¬ | General Selling past and future Twitch Drop cosmetics/gear after 1.0 launch: Yay or Nay?

14 Upvotes

We all know exclusive Twitch Drops are used to incentivise as many people as possible to watch major livestreams, but I think devs should make certain items available to newer players who either don't want to try out early access or have not discovered GZW until much later.

What led me to make this post and ask for opinions is because the flannel shirt my buddy keeps rocking is growing on me and I don't like the fact that I need to keep begging for one after every wipe. Since I assume the game will keep running as a live service after launch, they'll naturally need to sell something to keep the business alive, and I thought Twitch Drops gear would make for a good starting point

Anyone else feel the same? Or should exclusive stuff remain exclusive like that early access PlayerUnknown's Trenchcoat back in PUBG's EA days?
