Mini guns, or air configured 240s or .50s would be nice and realistic, but you need a copilot on the FLR to spot the enemy or else ambushes are gone. Other options could be armored convoys or parachutes into the combat zone and same options on the way out

I love the fact that there’s no raid timer. I hate when I’m on a time budget in extraction shooters. I love the fact that I’ll be able to hop in and do raids with my buddies at our own pace. Some of us like to play really slow and methodically without being timed. I’m enjoying the idea of an open world map, as well. This feels like a mix of Arma and Tarkov. Can’t wait to try it

I belive a dynamic LZ system would be great, along with your suggestion about bigger zones

Shared tasks are such a no-brainer. MMOs figured that out years ago. Just give 25%, or even 10% of the rewards, anything basically, to all the squad members who don't have that quest active, share the progression within the squad, and it's a totally different experience.

I would totally be a dedicated pilot if they made it playable. Giving each faction a couple little birds and dedicated pilot roles (in addition to the 16 player teams) while having optional preset AI they have for when there's no/not enough pilots on would be fantastic. Especially if they ever allowed for fire support with the need to go back and take a long time to rearm (essentially like an ability "cooldown") Edit: As long as they do proper collective flight models and support HOTAS, of course!

@amp1885

Ай бұрын

To build off that, instead of rearming being just a cooldown at base, you should have to manually go grab ammo from a warehouse and reload the weapons on your bird. It would mean you can have dedicated ground crew if you need it to do rapid air attacks, but also make it simple enough for a solo pilot to do it. It'd be a minor feature for the most part, but also make it interesting for larger groups playing together.

Muax in the wild let’s goooo

I have a pretty robust script for Arma3 that Basically does this; ~ I call in transport, pilot targets my actual location, enroute. Tranport tasks radio chatter when close and instructed to 'pop smoke'. Prioritized by color. ~ I had to make poping smoke optional, because i was told sometimes you have a radio and no smoke boss. ~ The AI decides closest to the support caller to land by internally dealing out possible landing location markers like a drunk poker dealer. ~ The smoke just tells the AI pilot where to land. Two things happen here. a) Ai refuse to land there (because it is complicated?) landing instead somewhere else... literally they might even just go back to base and hover until shot down or bingo fuel. or b) They, "OK BOSS" and Bin Landin' the helo tearing out a tail rotor on a fence or natural obsticle. ~ !This resulted in having to add the marker rotation placement triggered by popping smoke correlate to facing me. This way the heli lands on smoke, facing me, not just on smoke tail in the brick wall. ~ Also anytime a heli engine is off the Crew chief will get out and repair heli. No fuel no ammo not his problem. I gave him a steerable parachute because if the engine fails in flight he bails. So... Short of going into GZ version of Zeus and controling the pilot's landing yourself, often AI can fumble the stickiest of balls, in all sports.

sounds like a game which is going to be enjoyable in a year or so when the base gameplay mechanics are down

"Hunt: Showdown - the best of the bunch" Preach, brother!

07:30 The take on Tarkov quest is absolute on point and pure gold.

I don't know if the devs will see this or not, but an easy way to fix the quest system is to have server-side quests, which each faction gets a few of them at a time. The quests would be separated into four types, blue, red, yellow, and green where blue is quests only your faction can see and they just always seem to be in places where other faction players are also doing quests, but the quests never line up so you don't technically have a reason to kill the other players. XP is shared among the squad that completes the mission and dibs system is implemented where a squad can say they plan on doing the mission but other squads in the faction can still go steal it. The red missions would be shared by everyone on the server and give massive rewards to the faction members in the general area that got the complete, depending on if they participated in some way allowing multiple friendly teams to try to work together. The yellow would be the spicy ones, quests that deliberately mess with other factions by needing to steal an item another team got or destroy a truck the team is escorting. The rewards would ideally be slightly less than the rewards for a blue mission so while you can go mess up the other players, it would be more worth it to just focus on your own. The green missions would be similar to red missions, but everyone in an area gets a small reward for completion by being in the area, allowing several factions to possibly work together to complete the mission without fighting.

Oh man I’ve been watching people play this for days and have enjoyed it, but I’ve been thinking about the design a bunch because it’s got some big changes needed. You’ve absolutely nailed a bunch of stuff here - your thoughts on missions were great

Great feedback. Loved the LZ idea. Would be cool to fast rope down through the trees as well.

Great idea for the LZs, I like it. There should assuredly also be a mechanic to tell your pilot to abort if there's a hot drop. Maybe a notification system telling you that there are players nearby and then you can chose to land anyway or abort.

Your idea about choosing heli locations within a grid is phenomenal . It would reduce the camping ten fold

you really make the topics come alive, thanks for your passion!

Sounds like they should take a page from MWII’s DMZ, anyone on a team can progress any task that anyone on your team has. Allows you to work on tasks together, but also rewards you for helping other earlier tasks

Good to see I'm not the only one who looked at some stuff and went 'that seems kinda boring or done before'. The traders really jumped out at me for being what might as well be just static portraits... Like Tarkov.

Its a really solid alpha gameplay they showing. On discord u can see that the devs really care for the game and the feedback they get. They look in the game themselves, seek out them bugs and fix them. Also they show what they doing every week. I think this game will be massive in the future

thank you for the constant 10/10 uploads drew!

I haven’t played GZW yet but from all the complaints I hear about the helo’s I think the best way to do it would be like the Huey from the ARMA 2 campaign. Where you can call it in and actually designate where it lands. Have it act as an air taxi rather than an air bus stop

I HAD A NC STAR ON MY KSG WHEN I FIRST GOT IT! The thing lasted a year, died, then started working 3 days later. I call it the Jesus red dot now.

Always love it when drew uploads

With "Unheard" Edition dropping on Tarkov here I am looking for new games

ground vehicles would be a fantastic add either armed or non-armed so you can coordinate with your team if you want to do convoys or patrols in enemy territory

A way to get around the team mate location thing, would be a wrist mounted ctab type thing, but have it so its zoomed on location with a span of 20-30m, since your forearm is in view alot of the time, even having a key-bind to just slightly move up your arm to get a quick look. The quests with team mates thing, because sweats will try and speedrun the quests, have a set of 10-15 quests that are able to do a day, that reset while it will be repetitive, it would be the best way to get players on the same quests.

YESSS. I've been waiting for this vid from you! Only person who's opinion I'll take seriously, personally. Much love Drewski

Drew, you led me to Tarkov and that was years ago and to this day you are the best team commander I have seen.

Beautifully put

Excellent, as always!

Guess this will be my new extraction shooter after the Unheard Edition debacle with EFT

the huge early access barebones graphical test streamer only gameplay we've been waiting for

Very fair and accurate assessment

A task like "hold a certain town or strongpoint for x amount of time" and the place is completely random, like a clearing for a chopper lz or an ammo depot or something, and when completed, you unlock a temporary thing like accessing stash for like 30 mins from an "ammo depot" or getting a chopper pick up and lz, and rewards for completing the task and killing enemies

These ideas for the issues found in this game are really great! Especially like the LZ idea. My biggest concerns for this game is the LZ system and the working together system. They for sure need a reason to work together like xp for for helping a friend or even if you are in the same party and you are doing the same task it shares the progression between party members.

Thanks to drewski for taking it as what it is,, other streamers hype it so much and even title their video as the tarkov killer or something

This game need world events like for example. A huge bandit group is coming to attack your base or there’s a shipment with good gear being moved from town to town

6:20 Like you alluded to I hope they add a feature that you can plan the flight path, as well. Nothing weirder than a helicopter pilot flying right over areas where enemies would be.

Your LZ idea is spot on, only to say you should also have the option of fast roping from the heli so you can drop into wooded areas also

Let's Goooooo. Love the content. I can't wait to get out there and make sum clips myself.

Great vid. I liked your suggestions regarding Landing Zones. Let's not forget that this game is only about 20% complete. Huge potential here.

Your system with the helicopter landing, would also help the system of picking up your own body after dying, they could possibly do it so if you die at an inside an LZ zone you won't be able to fly back there if the system you suggested with deciding where to land more precisily were in effect

the one thing COD did better than anyone else in the extraction shooter genre was the missions within DMZ. sure it had some fetch quests, but overall they were actually engaging.

I really hope the devs catch wind of these ideas. I totally dug the analyses and can't wait to dive into playing this game, whether it's halfway done or fully polished. I'm totally down to play, report bugs, and hang tight for its full release. Even if it takes a while, I'm cool with seeing it evolve over time while still getting to have some fun with it during its development phase. Cheers

Nice I Hope they expand on the maps more.

Looks good. Especially your character with a broken arm. Realism wont cease to amaze me.

2003 Vietcong, loved that game. Calling in an airstrike was so cool back then.

18:10 you should look into a tiny game called Stalcraft i believe it has run into many of the issues that this game is experiencing and has fixed a lot of them. it is a Stalker/Tarcov game and it had unique quests and gear to each factions , live events in the world for loot that would attract players of both factions to participate in , natural and unnatural weather events that changes how you play , ways to get loot other that combat , a player led economy , etc. The reason gray zone should follow that indie game is because they have worked on in for many years and worked out the kinks the only issue their game isn't big is because it isn't visually stunning but gray zone has that so if it could implement StarCraft's other features this game could be great

Thanks for the honesty, Drewski. I think a lot of the systems will be fleshed out. Spawning has to, that will not fly with players. They need to work on the gameplay loop, sounds, and other systems. A game that is trying to be immersive has to tryhard in development. Also, I've seen more than one indy dev have bigger ideas than they can polish into a real game. Even more AAA's who've halfway tried and failed. So we shall see. You can clearly tell it's a passion project. That's a great sign.

With BSG implosing today, this just became a BIG game drop, not just a conpettitive entry.

The heli feature is something the next Ghost Recon for sure needs haha. That would be so sick!

World Events would be great actually they could do bosses with that and maybe some areas could be blown up or have timers on explosives people could team up and clear out the place to get to the defuser etc. maybe a Supply Drop can drop in and have a few AI protecting it stuff like that would be amazing! (its early access tbh i expect those kinda things to come eventually, as its quite a easy and obvious content additions) and also being able to choose your LZ like you said sorta like Helldivers would be sick..... (not exactly tho as you shouldnt be able to spawn inside a building, only outside in the jungle etc) excited to see what they do with it tho in the future, as right now its really early access like for instance the running/jumping feels like Call of Duty arcade-ish and not smooth/realistic-ish like Tarkov/Extraction Shooters
