Yeah mate that’s why I said in my previous post I was bored for a bit on his stream and preferred his partners stream to start with - Sound supper Fanboy??? Yeah thought not! I was moving about I had that Panda at the tower on for while too. Next time don’t be a obvious Prat lets us guess your one as its more fun in the long run. The point was made referring to who I had watched the most so could appreciate how hard they had worked in game. Simple really I choose to watch one player more than the others as this is how I feel you appreciate the game more. Tried the guys running the game but they missed the action most times and jumped about too much on the last games. Not that I need to explain. But you do feel cheated when the guy you are watching for hours is killed by someone other than the very players he’s is meant to be playing against.

I'll tell you what players like Sac work hard to get to positions clinging on to life and building suspense best they can. They support the event being more mainstream and known and as such should be treated with a bit more respect from the Staff. If it was in fact Staff that killed him then they just cheated the viewers and player in the end. I’m not going to watch for hours for some idiot staffing that is well equipped and knows were everyone is or coming from end up killing. They did not have to work for the position or weapon and I’d like to actually have them respond if they read in here? If your going to do that its not survival games it Staff V and we all know that’s just pratish!!!!!! Please make this known next game so I can forget to watch it. If the staff are not grown up enough to keep out the game then join the game and play at the same disadvantage as the rest and get others to admin it.

I had Oshi on first as to be honest I prefer his style I find Sacriel stream get dull to be honest and fred is far more entertaining it has to be said and comes over more natural. So of course he got capped early doors more or less saving Sac. So put on Sac’s and to be honest it got a bit dull with him appearing to be half lost and left behind anything but impressive Phil if anything all over the place without a plan :) but to be fair was half dead and lucky he was not finished off within the first minutes (strange the other player left him alive unless he too was under fire). Jumped to I guess the guy you are talking about Phil trying to talk his way down form a Tower and it was hilarious and he was throwing smoke trying to get players to come over to kill whoever had him pinned up there. Great stuff with the player interaction and banter and what the game needs. Put on Sac’s again to see him shot someone on a road, then he spotted two guys lower down and took shots at them ( Don’t know if he killed them) then run up to where he got killed. Seen him get lucky with the guy one on one at the top as both had no ammo then after that he got killed. I headed out the house after that so missed the end. But if that was Staff as was described by sac what are they doing? Leave the players to fight it out fairly. Stop what I’d call interference. The Sac guy was concentrating on guys on a roof and had three shots. If the game was done right he should never had even to question if “ Is that Staff” as it should be “Player” as that’s all that should be out there. The Staff kind of spoiled one of the last ones when it was down to a few players in a town and they started shooting hence distracting everyone with the noise. ( learn to let the game play out) Good for them doing it all the same. And I think every one has got better with regards to organisation. Yeah I seen Lewis had been killed twice how did that come about?????

Who won ????

These are great fun and credit due to doing this on what can only be said as buggy game, lets face it you can kill yourself walking down stairs!. I follow a few of these guys on stream basically as I don’t have a machine able to run anything like DayZ or I would play it rather than just watch. Come the end of the year and a brand new toppish end PC I’ll be out there after your beans after all playing is what its all about not just seeing how its played on Twich. The below is to be taken only in Jest!!!!! Honest!!!!! Penguin won the last one right? So has to be in again with a good shout! Possibly could die laughing at his own jokes all the same. Lirik will die and blame Waffle. Poor Waffle will feel the loss of his friend too much and run into a hail of bullets going out in a blaze of glory! Pudding will play it smart and Camp sorry strategically stay static to improve your advantage to kill :) PsiSyndicate will die saying “ Wait Wait Wait” and give a description and account of why he died and therefore as he understands why is cool. Rezt is another one to watch and should rack up a few kills. Sacriel ( sorry I don’t know who he will play with) will panic without a gillie suit and something that kills from 800 yards will probably die calmly from a Axe saying “Fred you prat you got me killed again” a response of 09 will only be briefly heard as Fred is indeed killed as well. Matt looks like twelve so probably play’s like the devil incarnated go figure as its always the way. Everyone that gets killed will revert to blaming Lag no matter what so its all good, after all they cant blame stream snipers can they :) I'll get banned now form all their streams ;)

Longer they spend the better but that’s a bit selfish conisidering I will not be able to play it till Nov or Dec this year.. So as long as we get some info along the way I’m happy. I expect the whole development to go into over drive when Dean returns from his holiday. Set targets will have been made and probably most of these have been achieved or even bettered. How do we not know that the wee jolly to see the area in real life was not a well done to the team for getting to a said point? It’s the calm before the storm as when Dean gets back its going to run for a few months in my opinion before release in any from and we have to expect this and accept this for the good of the Game!

Why are we talking about Turmeric!!!!

Anything they see and like and then add in is a Bonus.Looks like it was great fun! Surprised anyone let employees back to take pictures of a real life area after the episode when the lads got locked up. So this place exists more or less....The place could get some strange Tourists if the game kicks off big style. You’d be walking about thinking I got killed here, and there is my favourite spot to snipe from

Do you think they will loose control of SA? And by that I mean within days if not weeks will there not be Mod’s out for it including every weapon going??? Or will it not be mod friendly and they will be able to control the whole situation more.

If the towns and city are now huge with regards to places to enter players may choose to play only in them. A kind of player Choice. Chernarusions living off and feeding off players entering their town. Interesting if buildings become just to big to search quick. They could even set up things to entice you in and traps.

Don’t get me wrong I get that and yes I need to play to appreciate the parts of the game that are just checking places out and making sure you go about as safe as you can. Do you think you’ll get roving large squads more or less owning an area or Map at a time? I’m not against that in fact hiding from such a squad would make my game :)

As I don’t have a machine able to play I watch streams and Animals are great this guy ran into a Cow last night with his team and nearly pissed himself. It took away the boredom of nothingness so adding them is great! I still think they need to up the numbers on the servers as you can watch a stream for 2 hours and all it is, is guys in a team checking out places and finding no one. Don’t want a FPS fire fight every ten minutes but the size of the maps makes contact so rare…..

Agree on the Zombie front watching streams they seem to be like Midges here in Scotland in that they are everywhere, slightly annoying and sometimes bite. But not the least bit scary. The only times I’ve seen a team scared of zombies was when a hacker spawned like forty right next to them. Instead of thinking right new server this is hacked they played on getting chased by this mass of Zombies. It was great! Players treat Zombies like as a minor annoyance at most. Its more of a get out they way or get lost rather than god this is scary and I feel threatened. They don’t play its for the Zombie game just player to player interaction.

You know they will have a Game changer on release and what I mean by that is something so improved or something added that adds so much that it will make you move from Mod to SA. Support for the mod with slowly fade and support for the SA will continue. Having never played any ARMA due to the old system. Getting a new high end rig late this year I’d be happy with a SA DayZ that is a slow burn, exciting and high tension and stressful to play. And wasteland on ARMA III that I could enjoy playing with high end kit that is easy to find and fire fights that are aplenty. I have only watched stream so far to enjoy DayZ that will end when this SA puppy get bought as I dont want to watch I want to play and sitting watching will not cut it any more. As long as its less hacker and scripter based and players cant bail out first sign of trouble Ill be happy to finally explore the game. Going to get an absolute kicking as everyone has a head start but I’d rather die fairly over and over slowly learning than cheat others shooting at me by leaving mid fight. The only way to play in my view is if I get killed over and over I’ll learn why and begin to learn off others.

I hope they keep the finding parts and reapiring Aircraft etc and cars. Do you think adding more players to each server will happen? I don’t have a PC up to playing anything these days so until I get a new top end rig later in the year its watching the odd stream for me. But the one thing that does come over is these streamers play for hours and see no one, granted once a fire fight takes place its good but it sure makes dull viewing. The main thing is while watching is if a player can just Alt 4 out when it gets hairy then that’s a game killer for me. I’d rather get owned by four guys and enjoy the fact than jump out. Sod it play the game if you die you die. But when you see a fire fight that looks to be on the horizon only for the players to take one shot and disappear is nonsense. Anything that stops hacking and this jumping off the server I’ll tip my cap to. Maybe if a shot whistles by there is a ten minute lock in to the server if you bail your stuff is lost and your body remains with all the loot.

Interesting that they are going with the low tech guns etc to start with so what are the chances of that high powered sniper rifle probably very low. Big question is how long before they wasteland the SA and everyone just plays it?????

Outstanding, hope to be running around that ship late this year when i get a new PC :). Be interesting if they made it worthwhile going there. Do you think players will hold parts of the map and guard it when they are on. I bet you could store some great loot in it, deep inside safe as it would take a good bit of time to find it.

Now that is more like it!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I wont bitch for a Month, If we get anything before May it’s a bonus. What’s that new building? Its great we have some meat to talk about! You know if its a Prison someone will lock players up and leave them :) Bolshoi Theatre would be a new one but you just dont get that kind of thing in small towns :(

Most of the static stems from not having nothing to talk about. Some would say I’m more fortunate not playing any version or have played any version due to buying a new PC rig later in the year to that of my trusty 2004 Pc I’m on right now. I got more excited for you guys as I thought it would be out by now and I’d enjoy watching like I have done players play on Twich. When they announced they were not going the easy route and just making the Mod better but an actual game with everything improved I was pleased. Its amazing how much mileage even the slightest game detail gets. I’m sure we will go from this to be bombarded with info. Still puzzled by the “ we will see in June where we are at with the game” Is that when a decision on release will be made or if the game will need a lot more work. If it means better Hacker/scripter defence and better FPS I’m all for time being spent. But it would be nice to get some new news as we are dry here as it were.

Wow the old "don’t moan" chess nut that has been produced time and time again, Serious yawn! I think its less a real moan and more a laugh with the in joke about its Fridays so its another blog right. I think if anyone has an issue it’s with the fact a Blog was brought in to keep us interested and informed. Why a weekly one was suggested at the start everyone can attain was unprofessional when there was nothing to back it up. Simply put the community started thinking the developers must be organised to release information now or why suggest a weekly occurrence you know you cant fulfil. Yet it was done, So this latest Mini Blog a mere morsel to stop the restless natives, I’d rather they said “Right the whole Blog every week was farcical we know now, so to stop the community getting disappointed week after week we will now give a days notice of any new news to be released to the community” I too think Dean has less control over this game now, I think a developer woke up to the fact a mere side complement of one of their older games could be a nice money spinner. The whole December silent running by Dean suggests to me a huge transitional period was in swing if he liked it or not. We just all hope for the same thing a Game that does not short change our enthusiasm for it. The game appeals to me for not being a kiddie consol shooter for a start and game you can play for hours on one life with real tension building. Having something to discuss would be great too.

Seriously I think they should aim for a blog worth reading ever fourth Friday of the month! That way we gat weeks to chat about the stuff and chill.

It’s something I’ll give you. So basically things are progressing without anything we can sink our teeth into to chat about. But well done for posting something up to feel reassured we are still in the loop. I’d love to know if things have slowed down due to that trip dean is on as it must have. I’m the one who is in the win win situation for this not having a PC able to run games being its nearly lasted me ten years. New Rig and new interest in games end of the year so I hope its out by Xmas. That BruteforceOAP on twich has given me the incentive to get back into games if at his age he can be playing on a high end rig owning kids playing FPS. :) I doth my Cap Sir!

Thing that worries me is if the development comes over unprofessional and disorganised what is the final SA release going to be? Surely communication cant be on hold, that would be farcical till when after May????? Someone must be running things in his absent and they can’t make Blog decisions? Sorry if I missed a parting statement from Dean explaining things when he is away. The one thing I can guarantee is many hours of Dean thinking about the game while he is away from the pressure of developing. It sure is going to be fun on his return to the office.

What if we all demand we don’t want one ever again! Just to spite us we will get one every week! I’ll start We don’t want no stinking Dev Blog!

A guy I watch was getting 1-2K views a few weeks back now he lucky to get 300. People move on to the next person who is the new flavour. Sad but true.
