On a side note because I think this debate should be more out in the open than it is. Take a look at what they have done. The progress that they have made and features they promised are being implemented. Working for people to play now not in years but weeks and months. I think the work should be appreciated because it seems 6 months ago everyone was excited and giving them full support. The community is huge. Just think at what they could achieve if they had the financial backing of bohemia or any company willing to invest in people with good ideas and the passion to improve on what we have. I fully support what Rocket is trying to accomplish with the SA as well btw I am a gamer I play the result. A mod becomes successful and then it becomes stealing.... that's kind of too harsh. If these forces were to combine damn things would fly.

So if they were making enough money to get the servers ticking over, how does that make them different from every other server provider selling panthera or epoch compatible servers? they are all making money from the mod. This focus on Origins seems to be due to its popularity. But yet there is a whole ton of servers to play on and people complain. My hunch is " hosted server providers" who don't have access to origins kicking up all this stealing crap because they are not getting their $'s. There is no logic in it and as a player, the end user I have never not been able to find a decent server to play on.

I'm a bit puzzled about what you mean about selling the server files? I think its more of every service provider wants to cash in on solid work and cant. From my side of things I see a bunch of passionate developers evolving a mod just like the 500 others out there. Its just this one seems to have a lot of momentum when it comes to implementing ideas and not just talking about them. Maybe the people who sit there for hours implementing such ideas get paid good for them the deserve it and have kids to feed. But for the rest of us we are end users who pay nothing to play what I consider a damn good mod to rise up out of the strap DayZ onto another map and watch people play It for 5 minutes and then leave.

By the looks of things it will be very soon.

I see then if you knew what an alpha really was you should accept that it can be nowhere near the final product and is at least a year away from a final product minus time already passed. I thought as a showcase I could get my hands on it was not too bad. Lots of potential.

When I bought arma 3 I was fully aware it was in an alpha state and I think people need to really get a grips on what an alpha is in the gaming industry. Its not often at all anyone external gets this type of access and I paid a really low price for a future fully fledged game. No halo alphas or cod alphas, maybe betas " ahm demos" but the doors are shut. More community input this way. Big updates are due once it hits beta status and I think E3 will show us military nuts the goodness. Also bare this in mind for the standalone alpha. It's not going to be all fun and games. But it will make interesting times when you look back after 6 months or a year how things change. Just wish there was more patients in the world for results.

I totally agree to the having everything killed half the experience. Maps or mods with weapons a plenty kills off the survival edge. However one thing that has been shown by the modding community are new features that were never originally planned and implemented ideas that I think the standalone should listen up to and consider. Community cooperation is a must. I really don't consider scripting hacking. Arma is just doing what arma was designed to do, your fighting against the nature of its design as a highly customisable military shooter open to accept people's ideas and whatever they want to do. But this will all change in the SA and for core survivors and people waiting to experience this all for the first time it's sounding very good indeed.

An engine is like your car, you can modify it and upgrade it to fit the requirements of your game. When I look at what has been shown of DayZ you can see from a graphics perspective is shares some close ties with the arma engine in looks lighting etc but what is going on behind the scenes matches what you would expect from an mmo game designed specifically for DayZ rather than instances of DayZ mod being ported to arma3 engine as we see in videos. Well this is how I see it anyway. Instead of holding up the house and keep adding patches the foundations are now much stronger to take the weight of what this game will become.

If you have a half decent rig it's all server settings. I use a 670 and some servers you walk into chernarus and it drops to 15 fps low or high settings make no difference. Others a nice 40-60 fps for the same mod as in epoch for e.g..

Name: Paul In game character: mortarmax fisticuffs My name is Reginald mortarmax fisticuffs, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the British army, loyal servant to the true queen, Elizibeth the 69th. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance on rocket, in this life or the next for this zombie outbreak.”

Thank god someone more open minded like Joe is going to be giving us his point of view I am a watcher, great change from the usual names phew.
