the master should proceed with phase two.. selling the unplayable broken alpha for the full prize....

Those two will not become the couple of the month....I guess :P

@ Orlok of course you are right...but sometimes it is too hard hard to resist :P

@PurePassion You shall not disagree with a youtube star...he blessed us all by posting on this unworthy fangirl forums.....

ok ok...the landscape is nice also ...and by this I don't mean hills and valleys as shown by herbster :P @ Fraggle BAVARIA IS NOT GERMANY :D

Sounds like the way they are doing it for Arma 3. I don't think "goodies" means basic game content :) . Maybe you can give some extra money for later map addons, a complete soundtrack or a printed map, modding tools...stuff like that or choose an alpha lite key just for the basic game.... just my thoughts...

I am an adult person playing and modding computer games since the Amiga 500 and the Atari ST came out ...I don't think I need You to tell me that the earth is not flat... off topic, south Germany is horrible too (the beer is nice though)

..if it is some kind of art happening including naked babes and bath tubes full of paint....

I would like to see a devblog including Ivan and Senchi talking an hour (or two) about Chernarus+.

June has not been confirmed or announced as a release date! They will just review the situation and then continue alpha testing on a bigger scale allowing screening and stuff. I don't expect the alpha release before july /august maybe even september. Edit : + 1 for a nice WarZ Video (maybe something like a classical games review)

In this case I am wondering how alpha bug tracking ( and discussing) will be handled...on Reddit, Twitter and Youtube or on the official forums .

Items being entities (durability) ...zombies being a real thread...new loot spawn system (NO loot maps)...new health and disease system....crafting...combat tweaks ( no crosshair, less ammo and military weapons, gun jamming and deterioration etc)...radios ( DON'T USE TEAMSPEAK)...writing notes and books...chernarus+ (complete map overhaul, all interiors enterable)...new weather system....vehicle overhaul ...base building.... The possible scenarios are nearly endless and should keep everyone busy for a very long time!

go and play CoD if you want fast shoot outs..... :P

I think he said that this will be in probably in june when they are going to test with more people ( after reviewing the situation and before alpha release that is :P )

you can have a look here : https://sites.google...gworlds-clutter To change the grass you can change the values in the config.cpp (no need to rename it back to txt, just open it in notepad). Then make it into a pbo again... clutterRadius = 1;//1 clutterGrid = 1;//1 clutterDist = 125;//125 (grass and flowers and stuff distance is 125 meters by default) noDetailDist = 40;//40 fullDetailDist = 15;//15 minTreesInForestSquare = 5;//5 minRocksInRockSquare = 4;//4 Change and play around with the bold numbers to change settings. The last numbers are the default values (just in case ). cheers

I think there is no game engine that can render grass that far in the distance....would be cool though

I am really happy to see radios and and an improved direct chat (whisper and shout) implemented...hopefully a few more people will use that instead of team speak or skype...

Day Zero

would be interesting to know if Arma 3 will use some of the new created DayZ stuff like the new skeleton ...

There are 3 threads discussing this in detail.... http://dayzmod.com/f...erground-bases/ http://dayzmod.com/f...to-build-bases/ http://dayzmod.com/f...ggestion-bases/

OBSOLETE

Cost's have been covered and If I was in charge of BIS, I would give rocket all the time in the world, It is going to sell big time (I only estimated the price too) that's what I am saying...there is not even one good reason to rush the game out. Now with that projected income, Explain to me why communication is Poor? Yap communication is really bad and this is why I would like to see an official BI DayZ SA forum opened. Communication should be more centralized and official, not Rocket answering questions on Twitter or unknown youtube channels ....

it easily sold more than a million copies of the game DayZ has been a financial success for its publisher (BI) without selling one single copy of the SA. I guess they could even stop the entire project and still make some nice profit out of it. It is not only the million sold copies of Arma 2, DayZ also indirectly supports Arma 3 because it has brought so many new people to the Arma universe/community including all its amazing mods and maps like for example Wasteland or Invasion44 etc Not forget to mention some extra sold copies of other BI game like ToH... Now let's assume Rocket will sell only 300.000 copies of the SA on top of that (because of the delayed release), it would still be a financial success for BI. Now since there is obviously no reason to worry about the economic side of SA development what is left to worry about ...competition...vision and critical reviews... Honestly in this very special genre (not talking about CoD gameplay) I see only one competitor on the horizon http://www.survarium.com/en/news/survarium-march-calendar-out which will come out at the end of 2013 or most likely in 2014 . I don't think Rocket should dump his visons and risk bad critical reviews by rushing out a game without having other reasons to do so.

What I don't understand is why they didn't follow the kickstarter model for the whole standalone project. Chris Roberts' Star Citizen has raised $7million for their game (mainly direct preorders not kickstarter) and they have enough money for a properly resourced Dev team and a very good regular video blog. By selling 300.000 or maybe more additional copies of Arma 2 ( my guess) BI should have made enough money to fund the complete DayZ SA development.....

I am not happy that Rocket is going to waste his time at some small unimportant gaming show!! He should instead sit at his desk and place some new barns on the chernarus+ map !! PS: joe_mcentire do you accept rupees as well ??
