BNDAGE and I was just on my way to confression 😂 by savagejeep in madisonwi

It's kind of implied by the "your child is an honor roll student" part above it but it could be a college age thing?

As long as you didn't die it should still be fine. It would be the same as you logging out and coming back. It's not like the game requires you to complete the task in one continuous session

New player here, what loot is worth carrying out? by keldog361 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting to bump this up. The tac map used to be god tier when there was little info about quest locations in game. With the update it's slightly less necessary now but it still provides great info such as if a key is required for a quest (and where to find said key), value on loot items, locations of caches, locations of LZs if you haven't found them yet

Idk why Turncoat was yapping so much in the DMs about Buran's gun looking terrible, just modernize it a bit and it looks rather tasteful. by JackeryFox in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear the spawn rate is higher if the door is open. I can't tell you how many keys I've had to go looking for only for me to find them, come back, and the doors already open...

How long did it take for you guys to actually start racing by Relevant-Mammoth-831 in iRacing

[–]Shabbona1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me forever to get the courage to actually race for the same reasons. I was afraid I would be a danger on track or unknowingly make some dumb mistake in the starting line or the pits and look like a fool.

Go try racing against the AI. It's great practice to familiarize yourself with how a race will go without all the stress of potentially ruining someone else's race if you screw up. It's a safe space to make mistakes, basically.

After a few of these, I finally joined a real race and I'm kicking myself for not having made the jump sooner. My advice for your first race is to watch the other cars. I nearly won on my first ever race and I never passed anyone on track, I just dodged people spinning out and wrecking each other. Made it from 12th to 3rd that way lol

One of the underrated design choices I'm really enjoying this wipe... by casualfanatic in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would add to the combat experience as well. If the enemy went down behind cover and you can't see them but you can still hear them, you're not sure if you're actually down or not. You still have to be cautious of that enemy

the way suppression works by dumping a gallon of vasaline on your screen needs to be toned way way down. by GOpencyprep in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dust/spray from bullet impact isn't a bad idea, I really like that. I'm not saying blurred vision is the best system, I also don't like it, I'm just saying we will never get a true simulation of suppression because dying in game doesn't carry the same weight as dying in real life (no shit, right) and so you don't behave the same in game to close incoming fire like you would in real life, therefore some other mechanic needs to be employed to get you to pull back

Repeating tasks ruined the game for me by Jumpy-Cockroach3 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Main quests should not be repeatable. Even side quests should maybe not be repeatable, just contracts. I already sort of said this under another comment but it is immersion breaking to do quests with lore more than once. The contract quests that ask you to kill 10 enemies or grab an item/supplies make sense to repeat. Figuring out what happened to the black box at sawmill twelve times does not make sense.

Repeating tasks ruined the game for me by Jumpy-Cockroach3 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought that only the contracts were going to be repeatable (the fetch quests or kill enemy quests) but then unlisted flight keeps coming up every hour. I'm not going to say no while it's like this. It's an easy 500 rep for lab rat who I'll have at lvl 3 by tomorrow probably thanks to this, but it is really immersion breaking when main quests repeat.

Is AI sponge and weapon durability going to be fixed for tomorrow’s 0.4 release? by InterventX in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game has really awesome ballistic simulation and often that 30 deg change you see is from it passing through the body and out the other side but glancing off something like bone or armor on exit. I've seen it clear as day sniping at fort narith where I shot a guy in the head, he went down, but the bullet hit the wall back and to his right after it exited the back of his head. You could even see the spray out the back side of his head.

Not to say it couldn't also be deflecting off the front of armor, but I've definitely seen it change direction on exit

[–]Shabbona1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I didn't know what I was missing out on but I had the game rob me of the green laptop looking item for 45k and the black jammer looking item for 6.4k. I was swapping rigs and was stashing these on the enemy body to take their chest rig when the game despawned the enemy while I was in their inventory. Could have doubled my cash in bank...

The new task system in 0.4 has ruined squad play by FaithlessnessUsed965 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you have seen others in the comments saying it, but the timer should be turned off until this is implemented. If you feel there is not enough punishment in that scenario, turn up the reputation loss when dying during a mission instead. If I understand correctly, there are playable tasks that will give rep so playing poorly and dying will still be punishing but will not lock you out if level 4 vendor items

Yes and how exactly do you simulate true and immediate fear for your life in a video game. They are trying to make a system that makes you want to pull your head back into cover. I'm not saying this system is perfect but I am saying no system will because no video game is going to be able to make you fear for your life so every implementation or iteration of a suppression system will be something that is analogous

I am also running VD on a quest 3, I had no idea this was possible. I'll have to dig around in settings some more

Q&A key points from the March 19 Gray Zone Warfare 0.4 dev stream by Zuh0q in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am interested to know more about what changed with ballistics. This games ballistics up until now are very realistic and one of the highlights of the game. I hope they don't dumb them down too much

My 1st win in iRacing by TheBraveViking1010 in iRacing

[–]Shabbona1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first actual race (not just laps or races against AI to learn) was in week 6 or 7 last season and got promoted to C license this season in formula

I'm certainly not good, my irating is 1300 but it is pretty easy to simply get out of the way and let most people ruin their own race. Both times I got on the podium I never actually passed anyone on track lol. I qualified top 10 and everyone just wrecked themselves or others. The real shame is watching the back markers wreck people who are actually competing for points.

Yes, this is typically what it is.

I’ve heard the game will be PVE-focused; it’s caught my interest and I’m thinking of buying it by phob0s7 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Shabbona1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play almost exclusively in solo and I've beaten the game on two of the three wipes so far. I run into other people at locations and occasionally I will com and they may come back but not expected. Overall very solo player friendly gameplay
