It is not the problem where Dean posts, but who he is talking to. Why is he listening to the 10% kiddos who are crying for the SA? He could just ignore them and concentrate on the actuall community. It does not matter if it's reddit, the forums or his twitter account.

I doubt that.

Thought about this too.

Ok, tried to make it look a bit better. ^^

Not bigfoot, but I would like if Dean would implement something. Maybe a genetic mutated monster or something that was created in lab. But Dean would tell nobody that he actually implemented such a thing. And it would be really, really rare. So this thing would be maybe seen in the first few months by some people. The people would argue if it is fake or not. They would find their own word for this mysterious creature. Would be really cool. :D

If survival is really hard in DayZ SA, the people will learn that a lowered weapon can be your death. A bandit having the weapon combat ready is in a big adventage. So, I don't know if I will be relaxed...

Dude, the idea is ridicilous xD 1. How long would it take to make a good picture with a freaking mouse? 2. How complicated would it be to implement such a thing into the SA? 3. How should you know which guy was meant, if every 10th person looks the same anyway? 4. What would be the sense of such idea? 5. Everyone could make a picture from everyone, you will never tell if it is truly a bandit, or just some guy who got trolled? 6. Again, how should you know who is meant, if every 10th person looks the same anyway? 7. How stupid would these picture be, if 99% of the people on it would be dead by the time the pictures were made? 8. How do you want stop people from spam the world with paper? 9. Again, what f*cking sense does it make? This idea is as ridicilous as the poop system. Sometimes I am really fascinated by the people in this forum.

You are taking his words totally out of the context. Quote the whole conversation and you will see that he meant an unstable release date. I just see someone who tries to make himself believe that Dean was actually lying to him. Sorry, but this is kind of childish right now. And what the hell, what are you angry about? The 2 month release still stands, they never said they changed it.

Cool, you are a hero I guess? Well, what are you going to do if I make your face to the new "cruel and merciless monster bandit"? Would be fun right? Guys, screw these systems. You don't need this in DayZ. If you want to know who is bad and good go to the church and ask a priest.

Never thought I would write this on a forum: LMAO! What never happened? Him saying that they got an internal release date which is not even 100% sure? Him saying that this release date is secret because he knows that problems could occur? Him saying that they are optimistic to release it within the next 2 months? And what? Are you kidding me? What should he tell you? If he tells you nothing you whine because you want more informations. If he tells you that they got an internal release (which can change every moment) you say he is lying to you because he actually told you this release would be unstable? And when did Dean say that he won't release the game until then? We should find a new word for these people. Whiners would fit but it is not creative, someone got a better idea?

And exactly this is the only reason you all are freaking out. Do you really believe anyone is angry because Dean said something wrong? The people just want to play the game, they don't give a single f*ck about how playable it is. They were whining 3 months ago and they will whine until the SA releases. Why? Because DayZ is one of the best games ever made. Simple and straight. Stop telling us you are angry because Dean lied to you, he never did. Actually you just try to find a reason to get Dean to release the game sooner. Maybe you believe your own lie, who knows what your mind is capable of while waiting for SA. My god, am I the only one here who is not brainwashed by all this "Rocket lied to us" bullcrap? First world problems. :facepalm:

The info? Ah alright, you mean the fact that DayZ is still in pre alpha and how Dean is fighting with 12 years old kids. Because exactly this is 90% of the "info" which was repeated millions of times over the last view weeks, for every f*cking single person which states an unimportant, stupid and subjective criticism which is obviously coming from an unpatient raging kid who has nothingin common with the DayZ-Hardcore Gamers. Why does Dean seriously think that these people who post stinking bullsh*t on reddit are part of the community? They are haters or unpatient kids. He won't change that, regardless how often he will repeat the same words again and again and again.

Everyone asks me if I am god. I don't know why, but I think it's because I am awesome.

Mh, let's see. If I name myself Cap'n in DayZ, people should recognize me too. Let the experiment begin!

Dean is repeating himself over and over again. He said himself "Don't feed the troll", but it looks like he is exactly doing it. People are angry about the standalone not releasing and Dean seriously tries to calm them down by being reasonable. These people are not angry because Dean made false promises or anything. These people are angry simply because they want to play the game. Even if the game was unplayable, they don't give a sh*t. But Dean told them like 20 times that the alpha is actually pre alpha right now. It is obviously that they don't give a single sh*t about this fact. They just want attention, they want to get lose of their aggressions. I really don't know why Dean bothers with these people, they will be happy anyway as soons as the SA is out. Sure Dean wants to have conversations with the community, but why is he talking to all the 12 year old kiddies who have no idea about the game anyway? He could take this wasted time and actually do something productive like talking to people with good ideas or critism about the game not the release date.

Wanted posters? Sure, if you see a bandit you take your time, make a picture, print that picture and go through the zombie filled city to hang these posters out. And of course everyone will trust you because a bandit could never get the idea to actually do the same with some normal survivors. In a post apocalyptic scenario I bet my as* there won't be anything like "wanted" posters. Not in the first few years. And I also don't think there will be things like real, evil bandits. Everyone will fight for their lifes. Do you call a lion bandit because it hunts its pray? It is survival of the fittest. And even if you want to call these people bandits, these people actually survived this apocalyptic sh*t, and they are not f*cking stupid. They actually know how to survive in this world, if they don't they will A. learn it in a very, very short time or B. simply die. So they also know how to engage people, how to make them think they are friendly. If survival is hard, there won't be bandits or heroes. There will be just survivors and everyone of them will find their own way to survive in this world. And even if you think there are bandits, the system which was implemented to dayz is exactly the oppisite of a freaking bandit system. It is creating bandits, nothing more. If I am a survivor who shot another survivor just because I want to survive then I get a bandit skin and from this moment I have no other choice but to shot everyone on sight. Why should I bother? People will kill me anyway because of my look, so I just have to kill them before they kill me. Once you get a bandit skin, you actually tend to get a bandit. If you are playing alone, there is almost no chance to turn back. This is probably the most ironic system I ever heard of. A bandit system which wants to prevent players from becoming a bandit, but actually creates the bandits by making survivors to running talibans. In a post apocalyptic world there is no good or evil, there is just survival.

I was wondering if there are people who get still adrenlin after playing the game for months. I got definitly 400h+ and I still get scared in combat situations. It is not that I hesitate like a bambie, more that my heart beat is going up. So I am asking the people who play DayZ more than 100h. Are you still getting adrenalin?

If he tells them the problem is fixable, they expect the game to be actually working in that matter even in the alpha. I really don't think that will happen, Zombies will probably look stupid even after alpha release. So Dean has actually reached exactly what he wants. Get the hardcore gamers, who inform themselfs anyway, and get rid of the kids who will just play alpha because they are unpatient. If he tells them "Oh it is just because we have not implemented a sync feature" people will expect this in alpha. Well, many people would be disappointed. And exactly that PR is bad for DayZ. So even if he tells them the fact that it is just a feature he would have to implement people will start shitstorm. "You had a half year to implement it!" Later in alpha "What the hell this looks like shit I want my money back!". So it does not matter, in fact it is even better if he does not tell us that it is just a missing feature. The less player buy alpha the better.

So you want him to show you actually how the game is not? Are you kidding me? Everyone is complaining about idi*t publisher who fake screenshots, hide bugs and let the game look better than it actually is, and you want Dean to do exactly the same thing? People are really weird, on the one hand they want something and complain about how stupid things are and on the other hand people complain about the solution for exactly these problems. I don't know where you live, but in my country honesty is something valuable. And the worst is first you complain about too much information and then you tell him he should keep people informend? Some people are really brainwashed by the medias. They don't even realise that they are protecting things which only exist to empty their wallets.

Do you even now what the f*ck we were talking about? Don't try to get into a converstation which is over and none of your buisness (because you did not even read it). Are you collection posts or what?

I think the side chat is bringing in almost scripted stuff. You tell someone you want to team up and meet. If there were no side chat you would acrtually team up with somebody in a dynamic situation. Maybe you save someone by killing zombies, or a bandit. Maybe you meet someone and you almost shoot each other. Maybe you meet someone without weapons, etc. It is much more authentic and indepth if you actually get a friend by accident, then by planing it. Also it will change the gameplay, because 1. it will be harder to survive and 2. you cant team up with someone easily, you will maybe think twice before murdering someone.

Did I diss Project Zomboid or the games Rockstar is making? Just saying the developers or Project Zomboid want money and Rockstar is really greedy (like I said why the f*ck are they bringing GTA5 to current gen consoles with mostly 20FPS? Money) What has the division to do with Rockstar? Dude, I don't hate Rockstar and never said so. They are greedy, so the do PR. Project Zomboid wants money, so they use PR. Dean Hall wants a stable alpha with hardcore players so what does he need? I don't know, but no PR that's for sure.

It's got to be a ghost man, be careful.

People somehow got used to the side chat, I wonder how the game will be in SA which won't have any sort of sidechat (besides the radios). We will probably feel really lonely, then the game will start to feel much more like survival. Depressiv, sometimes boring but also much more scary.

What benefit exactly? I like to hear Dean not some guy who does not even know what the hell DayZ is about. Also Dean shows that he is concerned about the community. A PR person? That's like saying "F*ck this shit I will pay for a guy who will get these freaks off my nerves.". Rockstar one of the most greedy developers ever (bringing GTA5 to old gen consoles what the f*ck?) and some freaking indy game that nobody plays? These games need the PR. Maybe Rockstar does not need it, but they are greedy so they do it anyway. Project zomboid definitly needs PR because it is not as good as DayZ (or maybe not as popular without marketing, I dont know the word). The guys from project zomboid actually want to make some money. Dean is almost like a patriot for us. He is doing his PR on his way, he is making the game his way and he does not care if the game will be played just by hardcore players, because he actually cares about the hardcore players. Same reason why a PR manager (at this point) would be senseless. Why does he need a PR manager if he does not want to get the game played by everyone. He does it his style, he stays in direct contact with the community. Man, do you even know how rare this is? Probably in a year or two he won't talk with us either, then he will have his PR manager etc. I really hope this won't happen, but money is changing people and it will maybe change Dean Hall too. Believe me, if the time comes where Dean Hall gets his money, his PR manager etc you will tell everyone what an honor it was to talk with him, because now he is too big to have conversations with some players he does not need to care about. Edit: Ah and I forgot. Not the programming is making a game, it is the designing. Designing a game is an art, the programming is just the science you use to get the art on screen. But there are many people who think that designing a game is a science too. Look at all of the Call of Duty clones, they are exisiting because the developer, or most likely the publisher thinks that you can put a design in statistics. If everyone would design games by statistics and science there wouldn't be DayZ. Because DayZ is actually an art. In a designing perspective (if you take it by statisitcs and science) it is paradox that DayZ even got popular because statistics say that people don't want to play hard, frustrating games. As you see, these statistics are just stupid sh*t. You can't put the human joy in a statistic. But almost EVERY single publisher does exactly this. That's why the developer are not allowed to publish games which are special. The publisher are afraid they could be a fail. Better making a CoD Clon which will garantee you some sells, than making a game like DayZ which could be a total flop, but also a huge success. "Programming a game is science" is like saying "using a pencil to make a straight line is science", but what has this to do with the picture (game).
