Looking a bit old school here but I thought this steam thing and not having to burn and deliver the game would mean cheaper but I’ve just looked and some of the games I’ve been looking at for when I get my new PC are £5 more? How does that make sense. Buy it online for more or walk into a shop and get it boxed for cheaper? Example FM14 is £34.99 on steam but you can download it on steam through (Game uk) shop for £28. Why the different prices? What is the £34.99 quoted off the main page. Boxed games out the same (game uk) shop is only £30. http://store.steampowered.com/app/231670/ http://www.game.co.uk/en/football-manager-2014-255524 Will DayZ be priced like this? As I’ve never used steam before or the like. Used to buying games boxed.

Interesting concept adding things to do. I hate the whole building thing it has to be said, I prefer it to be a roaming shooter. I’d hate missions to pop up as I feel that’s not realistic who’s interested in a mission, I’d be more interested in who was giving the mission to get me out of dodge when the world is a Zombies fest to safety. I generally (and this is by only watching streams and never playing the game) its too easy to survive in the mod. Zombies are a slight annoyance. Food & water seems plentiful. I don’t know if they are bringing in a whole infection slant that sure would give you something to do if you became ill. Plus a visible sign players were ill would add an edge to meeting up with new folk. I think if the number of players in a server jumps and contact becomes more frequent its going to take some of the boredom away.

Thought the right thing to do was Axe a few zombies then run about shouting friendly over the games com.

Actually really please Dean has come out with news. They have more or less completed and awaiting further tests so as to not waste time releasing something that will just fall over before they can get any useful feedback on the next stage. Makes sense, and better still its communication. As I said I cant play this till early next year till I get my new machine so excited for you guys about to jump in and go Bug hunting. I’ll certainly appreciate it when I come round to landing in DayZ for the very first time.

I heartedly agree, its an imbalance when you can tell five team mates sometimes on the other side of the Town or Village were to find the guy shooting and to help heal you. Your always going to have a massive disadvantage if a squad with com’s comes after you. Same thing with that third person. I’ve seen streamers use third person to spot, move about and communicate positions from behind cover, Jump up knowing were the other player is perfectly because they have been able to watch. Worse still the same streamer then bitches because they have got owned by someone doing the same. Its like they do it, its all part of the tactics and skill but the other guy doing it is a scum cheat.

I watch a lot of DayZ and its various forms on Twitch and while I understand radios could be a nice touch it could just be a headache to implement right. I know its not realistic but players working with friends using third party communications out with the actual game seems the way to go. Its clear and works. You often get some talking in game and then the players chats with team mates that are all over the map till they meet up.

Realising how lazy I’m getting I just cant be arsed reading a wall of text these days. I’m sure its good stuff but I’ve not read any of it.

Would not be surprised if someone joined the staff from ARMA III and thought ok the Zombies are shit because they are based on XYZ that was never meant to zombie actions. Lets start again and nail it!

Fix that Alt F4 thing as well :) hate to see players bail out when the fight turns to crap for them too.

Not planning in having a rig till march to play this so you guys testing and bashing it are taking a hit for the team but I appreciate it. Just make sure you bash it good! Surly Zombies hitting through walls must have been fixed :) So reading back They hoped to have 3000 Zombies on the map - Wow.

Lets face it and all I can comment on from watch twitch is that zombies were rubbish, very little threat and at worst a annoyance that gave away your position or presence in an area. Glad they pulled out all the stops on the Zombies . If the Z’ds are weak and don’t work then the rest is papering over that massive crack that will never go away. Get the basics right and build.

Yeah and don’t the whole world know it the way this thread lit up ! But till the last few days as most would understand what I meaning its been a long long silence from the main man. And going on what went on last year it with him going to ground some feared the worse.

Considering there has not been lot to discuss and frankly a bit of a communication black out I think he should be impressed we care enough about the game to still be in here. Yes we act demanding but that’s just chat on here with little bearing it at all. It’s a sounding board for our hopes, our concerns and considering he’s not been on in months although I guess you can pop on as another account its probably had little effect anyone’s rants on here. But if the person having a wee rant can get it off his or her chest fair play. Dean will pull it off and he's a star for giving us this kind of game and he knows we all appreciate what the team is doing. Could it have been more organised hell yes! But for shear seat of the pant developing its entertaining.

When the server spawns them I think it will be great. As you said entering a place to get guaranteed Zombies from a script is not too great along with instantly give off a huge smoke signal, huge pointy Arrow more or less saying “ look zombies someone on is here” Server side places can be cleared and stay clear for a while, You will never know if there is a few or many and if a human player is in the mix as well or even a whloe squad. New spawns (Human) it will be your Donald duck (Luck) entering a village or city if its clear or not. I wonder what the dynamic is that attracts Zombies? Sound obviously but if a huge explosion goes off how far will that attract Zombies? Will smoke attract them from afar? Will they walk around or migrate out of cities and towns? What will night mean to them in the game?

That's what I'm saying! In the Mod do they just not keep coming?

I hope not I liked the quiet tension building of the game ( I say that from only watching streams) Fair enough if you go in a town but please if you kill 100 Zombies as a team don’t just have a ever repeating spawn system to keep them coming. I liked the idea that if you killed a zombie it spawned on another part of the map that did not have players and in fact they would roam the map instead of de-spawn, re spawn. You could use them tactically, I’m sure someone would try to lead Zombies in a group into a area to cause anarchy knowing non friendly players were there.

In fairness things did happen and alot more than for weeks if not months> Evan just a picture provided my Dean and more to the point just communication happened was great to see on here. He was even on the forums! So I kind of feel I got my wish.

still big here in Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Fraggle Rock (et) I Like it!

I still think there will be an announcement tonight, Halloween is too good a fun thing to miss out on after all most streets willl have Zombies on them tonight. :)

Maybe because crossing water at a safe point is all part of the survival aspect in the game. No point spending time making everything else looks much improved only to be let down by a poor way the swimming is handled. Plus it’s an immersion aspect of the game if done well. All these thing s add up, especially when its not all about kill

Partly due to never having played the game and not having a PC able just now I just want to start playing what I’d considering a full release only. An acceptable level of build and stability and as few of the features not broken as they can manage. I’m interested in seeing what’s new in the testing or Alpha builds mind you but even if they dropped the SA final now I still would not be playing till march when the new machine drops and I have it for the new Elite game. So what can we expect? limited testing phase larger testing phase Alpha stage Beta stage Code release (First final release)

Considering sound is so important in this, is this not a massive indication we are months off final release. Especially when they still have to bring the new guy in. I’d say March 2014 for SA first full release. Thankfully I don’t have a rig till then but hay that’s just me. I was planning to follow the game through the streamers that are such a good outlet and lets face it the Mod only got to the point due to its popularity because of the uptake of the early streamers as Rocket said.

:) Don’t say that you’ll get blamed for making too many assumption and a troll will eat you. That was my thinking slip it out but then your saying everyone is interested in BF4 when obviously there are real cool cats who are not interested in BF.
