the grass is short...to short

[Enigma]

Hi Community,

dear Epoch-Team,

 

first thx to you for this great mod. Ist much better than the original dayz. :)

 

 

 

We the "GRS-Clan" have an Epoch Server since the first Mod was released. And we still love Epoch.

But within the last few Patches you have insert some things we really don´t like.

 

At the one hand you changed the grass into this nasty short golf course Version to increase the frames. And on the other hand you inserted dust clouds which are dropping the Frames twice than the grass exalts them.

And by the way...come on, du YOU (mean everyone who reads this) like the look of the short grass? :)

Sorry for saying it that hard, but the short grass is absolutely nasty!

 

But to cut this long storry short, is there any way to fix this with the next patch so that we can switch the grass and the clouds on or off at the Server? So than every admin can decide himself if he likes the golf course grass or not. That would be really, really great.

 

Our biggest hope is to get back the Long and original dayZ grass.

 

If you can do that we (The GRS-Clan an 99% of the players on the Server) would be much appreciated.

 

 

Thx for a short answer.

 

cheers, Simon

 

 

P.s. If somone agree with our idea to get the real and more realistic grass back, please write a comment. Thx therefor!

Agreed. The dust puffs are crap and long grass would be much better, especially very lOng grass which would help counter camper snipers.

Doesn't the grass (on the players' screen) only render 40-50 yards? After that, everything looks the same?

 

I agree about the dust clouds, it's an FPS hit and looks out of place.

The short grass was done to help boost performance, and it is a noticeable difference. So that's a weighing factor you might consider. There is a different thread open about the dust clouds.

We love the dust clouds & current performance, leave it all as it Is or make it something we can toggle on off for the ne sayers.

What do you love about them? They are just an occasional puff of smoke that floats by. It serves no purpose.

It aims to improve the atmosphere, even if minor. Of course, I'd have liked to seen it more as a larger fog bank that drifts through, but it's not. Also it does add to the eye twitch - aka catches your eye.

I for one like the shorter grass.

Could def do without the wind farts.

a larger fog front would be cool though(if done right).
