that's actually true.

i'm not saying that it ceased completely, i'm saying that theyre doing it the slowliest possible way, as they already got their payment. Now they just need to add a gun and a hat each month to keep fanboys from killing themselves, the game's already paid for itself and much more. no point in doing it in scheduled time.

and as you can see, i'm not disagreeing with you. i just think this game should run away from "balancing" things if it's supposed to be cruel and unforgiving.

actually they profited more than 10 times that dude, they sold 1.4 million copies.

yeah, i'm a troll without arguments yet all you can do is call me a child that never worked in its life. If you dont know, most of the sales occured on the first two weeks of release, 95% of the game breaking bugs werent showed on the let's play videos and people didnt expect that much trouble, as the mod never suffered of so much desync. YOU never worked on your life, cause apparently you give no value to your money. And why does it matter how much people i killed because of the desync? it just enforces my point, THE GAME'S IN A SHITTY STATE. LEARN TO FUCKING READ. Keep the hate flowing, fanboys.

mmm, yeah, cause in real life LMG arent used to keep people in cover, or else they die from the suppressing fire, right? LMG's are OP as hell in real life, man. I think they should be OP in the game, but the ammo should be REALLY hardcore to get. And by REALLY hardcore i mean "AS50 in 1.7.4 patch" hardcore. The other guns are underpowered in the game, or ridiculously misplaced, like the 800m accurate mosins (AKA XM2010 disguised as wooden stick), or the mental-ill-projectile m4's (that fly in random trajectories if you dont use an magic alien handguard that teaches the right path for the bullets). They should just eat your backpack when you carry them, so they would be realistic enough.

exactly. Modding will come with the beta, considering the actual developing status, beta will take 2 years to be released, at least. The game will certainly die out before it.

well, as i expected, the fanboy convoy arrived. Yeah, people, bohemia did a favor to us by giving a free... oh wait... cheap....... oh wait... 'cool' alpha, so we can fund their project and test their bugs for them, and anyone who criticises their methods is obviously a whiny child, they told us NOT to buy it! Even if they hyped the hell out of this game since the golden days of the mod till they released it. There's no problem that it's almost 1/3 of the time till it goes beta and there's still terrible desync and glitching to the point that if someone's appear in front of you out of thin air and kill you, you dont know if they are using cheats or it's just the shitty netcode of the game that's doing the magic. But it's all okay!! now there's magnums and cowboy hats! how cool is that? Seriously, people that think this game's worth the money are the people that NEVER played the mod and are just new to this game atmosphere, it's all good and beautiful until it gets boring, the mod took 1 year to die, how much will take the game to do so? The "zombie fever" is already ending, people are getting bored of survival games and zombies.

mosin bullets are supersonic, the bullet hits you before you can hear it. But i dont think a body show with a mosin should be a 1 hit kill, even in point blank range. There should be different types of ammunition, like soft points, hollow points, that should do more damage, but a 7.62 bullet wont kill in one shot unless you hit the head or heart.

30 bucks isnt a cheap price for a game in the state that dayz is right now. People didnt buy the game for what it is, people bought the game hoping that it would become decent in around a year, that was the time that it should go into beta state. But 4 months are gone and the game's even worse than it was on release, it seems. and now there's hackers and patches that take 1 month to release. in the end, the game will die before people get what they paid for.

he just made 40 million dollars for bohemia, probably more than the total profit they ever had in all the games they made. Thinking that he didnt get a fat comission for that is at least naive as hell.

Why? Isnt the bone breaking mechanic unrealistic enough as it is right now? exposed bone fracture needs surgery, you cant "put the bone on place" as you would probably shred your arteries in the process and die like a bleeding pig. Just no...

there's no bandits nor heros in this game, there's no good or bad, there's just people, and the huge majority of them are douchebags. just that.

me or him? i'm confused... :P Now i noticed i misread his post, but anyway, my point was directed to the topic.

Well, whatever, it was his idea, he's responsible for all the profits. If bohemia will get the bigger slice of the pie, so be it. yeah, anybody that tells you what you dont wanna hear is a troll, right?

jesus man, people paid for the alpha, they didnt do any favor releasing it earlier, actually, the playerbase did them a favor by paying their bills before the game's even worth it.

hmm, so any information other than you tell is misinformation? Actually, what dean made was the best marketing decision in years, he made dozens of millions selling hype. He chose the period when the hype reached its maximum and released a pre alpha, charging a full game's price on it, getting rid of the responsability of delivering a good experience for it. he made a fortune from nothing. And anyone knows that if someone gets paid before he does its job, he will do a shitty job, because he will lack motivation. Now glue the pieces: The devs already got paid and have no pressure from the playerbase to develop fast, as people keep yelling "alpher" to anyone who points a bug. what you have is what the game is now.

what's the point? if they release a patch full of game breaking bugs all the people on the forums will just yell alpha anyway. They got paid to do this, they're doing us no favors, stop acting like they are. And the game's still full of bugs, falling off ladders, being spit out of buildings through walls, leaning through walls to see the other side, etc.

People will kill each other for no reasons even if the only weapon in the game is their fists. People are dicks, and in dayz, they are uber, douchebag dicks, get used to it.

well, i'm not telling you are a fanboy, but if you have any good sense, you can certainly see that the forums are infested with them, along with trolls and kids.

you didnt read my post, did you? i'm here just enjoying the view (:

is it? enjoy your eternal alpha.

dude, just quit, like i did. All people are doing this, in not much time the SA community will be reduced to fanboys and trolls, just consider that your money was wasted. Dean released the game in its most shitty state in a desperate attempt to get the most money possible from the hype that the SA had, and he just hit the jackpot, now even he's leaving, obviously standalone isnt a priority anymore now that everyone's already got paid (even forum moderators, it seems). Now go get a beer, run the mod and have some fun, much better option than punching the wall of nails that this forum is. There's a bunch of good games out there, with way better communities than dayz, you just need to search a little. i return here once in a while to have a look at the forums, and things are going exactly as i tought, no updates, more hackers, more excuses, more fanboys, less decent players, more children/griefers/glitchers, just like i presumed 2 months ago. This game will never reach beta, and i will be watching with a beer and popcorn while its community implodes in its flaws.

noooo, that's not hacking mate, that just desync, alpha, shut up, whiner, alpha, desync, alpha, alpha, alpher. Fucking fanboys man.

3 months of development, 1/4 of the entire scheduled development process till beta and what do we have? 3 guns and at least 5 more game breaking glitches? i didnt expect a finished game when i bought the alpha, but i didnt expect it to be worst than the mod, that was alpha too, if you can remember. No point in arguing over this. They already have our money, it's down to just belief now.
