I don't buy into the Tuesday formula. I'm waiting patiently and I can't see it coming out before next week, but I would be pleasantly surprised if it did. Here's a list of BIS titles and their perspective "early access" released by day of the week. Arma II = Thursday Take on Helicopters = Friday Arma III = Tuesday Take on Mars = Thursday EDIT: I'm an idiot, that actually took me a while to figure out but here's a link to do it yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemia_Interactive

I'm not reading into them that much. Though, it's hard to ignore the fact that, today, an hour after the update they suddenly had 25 people on. Which is the most that have been on in a week. It's hard to ignore that, if for no other reason beside the fact that we know a larger test will come before release.

Oh man, this looks good. https://twitter.com/Hicks_206/status/401018616864178176/photo/1

Also, this is what it looks like when the hype train meets the actual standalone release! EDIT: I don't mean that as a crash. It's just a fun image. That dude f'n bails out!!
-
They're at 25, let's see what happens dudes!! http://steamdb.info/graph/221100/ EDIT: I don't care about people giving me a hard time about monitoring the test server status. It's fun as hell!
-
They just did another update. Can't wait to see that player count spike again. Keep up the good work dudes!

As a fellow operations manager, I have to say, it's usually our employees that drive us to this type of behavior. -
Do it. I don't regret it at all. Fifteen bucks, I spend that on a mediocre movie at the theater, this will provide you with hours and hours of entertainment. The health system is complex. I can't wait to get off work and play it again tonight.
-
The peak was last week at 29 players. They haven't gotten close to that this week as far as I can tell. I hope the test is right around the corner. Seems like a weekend would be a good time for a test that large. It would be easier to get everyone available at the same time. Not sure though.
-
I picked up Project Zomboid per Rocket's recommendation. It is really really good. It's hard as hell. Can't wait to see what the NPCs add to the game.
-
Off topic but I just. can't. help it. This should give all you wonderful geeks something to focus on for at least two minutes while we wait on this bad-ass-mofo-tojo game to arrive. Enjoy. http://geektyrant.com/news/pokemon-themed-ladies-panties EDIT: Pokemon was after my time so I didn't really play it.

DayZ SA: Steam Community Chat Questionnaires
Dr. Goner replied to TIC's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
He means yes, you will be able to customize your character in greater detail than in the mod, but he doesn't speak to specifics. I think when he mentions other titles he's just referring to the vast array of character customization that exists in the world of gaming and that DayZ's will be unique in the same regard. I know there are a multitude of races and genders available. From the images we've seen, I don't think body type is that varied, but I think there are several hair colors. It seems like your character will slowly become customized due to the great variety of clothing that can be found in game as well. -
Did you read the Hicks Q & A that was posted earlier? He answered both of your questions.
-
Because everyone jumped in there and started typing random incomprehensible bull shit until it drove Hicks crazy. Mob mentality is horrible. I watched the chat for like thirty seconds last night before I lost faith in humanity. I then played Project Zomboid and died over and over and over and over, but I know how to cook food now. For crying out loud that game is HARD.
-
Dean 'Rocket' Hall (Rocket2Guns; DayZ Project Lead) (opening this will be a wall of text; be advised) Note: Upon review, Hicks had mentioned he'd close the chat until tomorrow lunch time which means they will resume the questioning if one of the BIS employees are around. I'll leave this up to opening on further editing. ★DayZ Steam Community Group Chat ★ DayZ Steam Community Group Page This is probably the most information we've seen in eight weeks or more. Thanks for putting it together!!
-
There's nothing to it. I wasn't an early adapter and sort of got pulled in against my will, but now I like it quite a bit. It's especially nice for keeping all games up to date and tidy. My steam id is on my profile page here, ad me as a friend if you get a chance.
-
It's actually a pretty cool feature. If you're a member of a group, you can always see what games the other members of that group are currently playing.
-
"56 in game" refers to the number of members in that group (in this case DayZ) that are currently in ANY game, not necessarily the game associated with that group. That's how steam groups work. Hope that makes sense. The 56 doesn't mean there are 56 people playing DayZ.
-
Here's a another reddit thread on the subject. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1qhhts/dayz_official_steam_group_gets_a_banner/
-
There is some mild rumbling about a new DayZ group having been created on reddit. It does show up on Matt's profile and if you search dayz, states there are 700+ members, but the link keeps erring out when I click it. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1qhj4i/dayz_group_chat_is_up_you_can_join_from_the/ EDIT: The steam link not the reddit link ;)
-
Imagine if that was the last thing that rocket ever posted and the game never came out. Think: wounded manatee trying heroin for the first time
-
Oh, it feels so good! I don't ever want to come down.
-
What?
-
Hmmm... Any idea what that means? Do you think he means that upon release it will be an arduous task downloading and installing the game due to unleashing it on a wide scale?
-
Could someone please repost the test server links and steam db link? Thanks!!
