There is no "almost transparent" xD

I don't think you understand my point. It is not that I don't know the release date, it is about what Dean says. He said he would be totally transparent. He told us they have an internal release week and recently he told us there would be an internal release day (not sure but he was talking about a thursday if I am correct?). Now maybe I am wrong, but isn't that kind of the opposite of transparency?

A internal deadline which would be told us if Dean was really transparent :/ I really don't know what he is afraid of, he has one of the most special and thankful community in gaming history, I am sure that people will understand him if he tells us "Well maybe DayZ will release in X days but we are not sure yet". It is not like it could take 6 months longer than that, would be just ridicilous and unrealistic.

It is a forum, so now I am whining because I am stating my opinion. Dude you are in a dayz forum the "go get a life" statement is pretty ridiclous considering that you are registered here. Rocket was confident once, now he is even too afraid to tell us when the release is. And like I said, if he would tell me it is coming in 2 year it would be totally ok for me. But he was talking about absolute trancparency, now he tells us there is a week but he wont tell which on this is. He would have avoided all of this if he nrlever mentioned that.

Maybe you would be pissed but a real fan, and rocket is clearly making this alpha for the fans, would totally understand it if he is honest. He could just tell us the problem and everthing is forgiven, what rocket does not realize is that he is pissing a huge amount of people really off, especially the hardcore fans, just by keeping everything secret.

But hasn't the community deserved to know the release date? I mean without us dayz would be just an alpha mod. We made the game public, we pay for the servers, we made dayz to that what it is today. With "we" I mean every single player, the youtubers, the people with ideas... Haven't we deserved to know the date? Does rocket really think the hardcore fans will abandone him just because it maybe could take longer?

I thought about it, maybe it is not a good idea but it would be definitly realistic. If you are in zombie apokalypse you are not just getting ill or hurt you actually could get crazy or unstable. I know you cant implement this in a game but maybe there could be some negative aspects like: - worse aiming - faster exhaustion - faster dehydrated - slower movement - slower reactiontime (raising your weapon etc) So this could be like a stresslevel, if you are really stressed you getting some negativ aspects. Stress level or mental level could by highly rised by killing a player (people feel bad about it etc.) and it could be dropped by maybe playing with another player (being together with him or near him), listening to music (radio, record player etc.), eating special food (schocolade for example), and maybe even killing zombies (who wouldn't feel good after killing a zombie :D ). These are just some suggestions and ideas, maybe rocket would have way better ideas. I got some of these ideas from playing Project Zomboid which is also a good survival zombie game. This "feeling bad because of killing a human" would be some kind of bandit system. I don't believe that there are people on this earth (except of crazy dudes) who dont feel bad about killing a human. Especially killing the first human. Everyone feels bad, you can ask anyone in the army or a veteran. Some will tell you that they are not feeling bad, but mostly they lie because they want to be heroes. And there are no heroes in war.

I'll try, but can't promise anything. ^^

Could be xD

Its like even if you have something better to do you check it anyway. Sitting in the cinema, check your phone if DayZ released. Being in a bus, checking if DayZ Standalone is released. Playing some games, tabbing out and checking if DayZ is released. It is horrible man. ^^

Dude, you don't choose to get hyped, it just happens. And you also can't just turn off the hype. I got hyped and I am pissed because Dean does not want to tell us which date he has in mind for release. Nothing to add there.

Well my point it that Rocket is telling us there is a magical week but he will not tell us which week this is. The problem is this dayz could release every single day. Even tomorrow. Like I said, he could just tell us when we should expect DayZ to not come. If he would tell us "Ok there is no way the Standalone releases ths or next week" I could chill out this and the next week and check the week after if it is there. If he tells me again "Well, in there is no way that the SA will release the next 2 weeks" then I will wait again. But he is like "It could release tomorrow, or maybe mid august". So now I have every day hope that the freaking SA will release tomorrow. What should I do? I cant turn off the hope. It is really frustrating and more dissappointing than having one day and waiting for it. It is the "Check everyday 5 times if SA is there" which is the real problem here. And this is pissing many people off, because there is no freakin reason why he is not telling us. He does not want to piss us off by not holding a release date? Well, Rocket you are pissing us off by not telling us this release date.

The problem is rocket wants the alpha to work. But he could prepare like 2 years, when it releases there will be problems. Maybe the game will be unplayable? Who cares? It is supposed to not work because it is an alpha. The longer rocket says "we want it to work" the worse the reactions are going to be after the release. I could bet my life that the standalone wont work properly the first week. I just don't understand why Rocket is not telling us the one week he is planning to release the game. He said in worst case scenario it is going to release mid august. Then why is he not just telling us "well there is this week in juli where we plan to release it". What could happen if he does not release it? He did it once, I don't think people will be suprised if he does it again? And the problem is he really does not sound sure about it. For me he is like "Well the game is not nearly finished but we try to release it soon" because if he really would have a release date he would not have any reasons to not tell us this release. Because if he is sure, it will release that week. I hate the not knowing when. For me it is better if he tells me "We plan to release it in 3 weeks" then "there is a special week we want to release it". Because I have no idea when this special week could be. It could be tomorrow or even mid august. Now I have to go every single day to the website to check if the DayZ Standalone is there. Every single Day I have hope that the game will release the next day. If he just would tell me "in two weeks" I could chill 2 weeks and then check if it is there. If it is not there, well then I will wait again. In my opinion there is NO point in keeping it a secret. Better to know when it could release maybe, that to know that it could release every single day from now on. Well he thinks he could dissappoint us if he tells us a specific week, but actually he does it every day because he is not telling us. Who knows, maybe the special week was this week and they have huge problems? How should I know? Oh right, it is supposed to be... be what?!

Sure it would somehow be more difficult. But DayZ wants to be authentic, and there are no people in the world who kill for fun (besides crazy people) and there are no people who don't feel very, very bad after killing a human (besides crazy people) so I think if DayZ wants to be authentic there should be negativ aspects to that point. I don't know how to implement it, but without it the player is just a player. 500 years ago people were exposed to death of other people. However they all felt really bad after killing another human being. There were a few crazy people and ofcourse they also believed in a afterlife, in god etc. but anyway they were no killing machines. Afterall, your enemy is having the same war as you. Don't believe what they show you in movies, the heroes who kill 20 man and don't give a sh*t about it. A Taliban for example is something different, it is his believe. But I also think that even a Taliban does feel bad about it, because we are humans and you can't erase a genetic code. Killing people is changing you, it does not matter if you care about it or not.

I disagree with the topic but in my opinion the mod is definitly going in the wrong direction. Just look at the servers, every f*cking server which has more than 20 players has 1000 full health vehicels, 200 helicopter, 50.000 baracks, spawn with gear etc. I mean, what the f*ck? This is no DayZ anymore, this is Battlefield FFA. And I actually found 1 server which has like normal vehicels and a decent amount of players. (dystopia DayZ) Seriously why the f*ck is everyone playing in these boring "I god a car, a heli and a high end gear from the beginning"?! When DayZ came out you actually had to find a car (you had to be really lucky) and then repairing it (which took a looong time). Now the servers are filled with full health cars. What is the f*cking point? -.-

I hate in in the mod when you shoot a player with a weapon and he is unconscious you are forced to kill him because he could kill you after waking up. Would be really great if a player is unconscious you could take his weapon and throw it away. Then you could fix him up and let him go.

Is this some kind of troll topic? Are you seriously suggesting a freaking piss system? xD What the hell have you been smoking man?

If it would be that hard to find morphine everyone with a broken leg would just kill himself... and if you can find morphine you don't need the wheelchair. So either way the wheelchair will be probably useless, also it would probably very difficult to implement this in the game. Problem is, if the morphine are rare the wheelchairs have to be common. If both are rare you are just going to kill yourself.

Will there be accounts for DayZ SA or are you able to change your name like in the mod?

I know that there are ways to avoid people, but not everyone is playing the game for 500h+ like us. And the playstyle could change immensly by just implementing this option. Sure you going to die, but you don't have to get a bandit. Many players are getting a bandit because of exactly the reasons I told you. They dont want to risk it, simple as that. If you can unarm a player you don't have to risk anything. In DayZ Standalone there are not just the weapon. You have your character, your clothers you found, maybe some really cool stuff and you don't want to lose it. Maybe you don't even want the other player to lose it because you are not that cruel. And what should you do in that situation? Leave him alive and he will kill u eventually, kill him and you are a bandit. Yes Applejaxc, I even forgot this point. The important thing about unarming a player is to keep it fast and not "open your inventory, put your weapon on the ground, take the weapon from the other player, put it on the ground, take your weapon..." just a simple "throw the weapons away from him" and done. Would be really cool to see that in SA later on!

I am pretty calm, and I just pointed out your flaw in your genious joke. You have been playing DayZ from the beginning? Are you kidding me? xD Sure, avoid a player if you are face to face in a supermarket with him. What you gonna do? Combat log? You don't get the point, I actually want to help the guy who I just shot. If I sprint away he could die or just be helpless because of low blood. And what if I want to stay there, because I want loot the city for example. What should I do, just let him there and be killed by him later on? What the hell has this to do with my knowledge about Dayz? I played the game way too long to let me tell that "Shoting sombody is unfriendly", don't expect a good answere if you making stupid jokes. Like I said I dont believe that you even played Dayz for 1 minute, it looks more like you have watched a bandit youtube series or whatever. I have been in hundrets of situations where I had to shot somebody just because I could not take the risk. You forget the most important factor, it is not that I am a bandit. But in most of the cases the other guy is thinking exactly the same as me. He thinks that I think that he is a threat, so he has to shot me even if he wants to team up. There are situations where you can not avoid this and if you have played dayz more than 2 days you would know that.

Go to youtube, type in Frankieonpc and watch his videos. He is doing it all the time. Shooting someone to knock him out, then help him up again and getting friends. I am not sure if you even have played Dayz. If I am on a server with rare items (not these 1000 DMR per barrack servers) and I have high end gear I wont take the risk of being killed by someone because I try to be friendly. I shoot him so we both can survive it, it is as easy as that. And there are so many situations where you are in a firefight, have you never killed a player? Most of the times you just see each other and think "Sh*t, I dont know if he is friendly, if I wont shoot now I am probably dead" and you just shoot. What should you do, wait for him to shot you because of the same reason you would?

Btw there should be bulletproof west!

You are just repeating exactly what I said. Everything you say is actually contra riot shields. In DayZ you have to travel alot, in DayZ you have to be fast in fast out exactly like special forces. Like you said there are reasons why the army is not using them (same what I said before) and exactly these reasons you will find in DayZ. And sure it has something to do with getting a CoD. Like I said before (omg I am repeating myself) if the shields are actually implemented realistic that is no problem, but if you can stop AK74 bullets itwould be just stupid. Also the shield should take a whole weapons slot. And you will see if there will be theses shields noone will be using them. Against pistols you better use your own weapon and if you are using a shield agains an assault weapon you are dead anyway. So why even taking the risk to get shot because you have your riotshield equipt?

What you dont realise is that this is a video for demostration. There is a reason why police is using them and why the army is not. 1. It does not protect you from any assault rifles or snipers 2. If you were shot the impact is really big 3. if you don't know how to use the shield properly you are screwed (and in DayZ SA the people are no army veterans) 4. It is too heavy to carry around all day Why I you showing me this? I know there are shield which can protect you agains pistoles or shotguns. But did you see them once in action? If a bullet with 200m/s hits the shield it wont be easy to hold it. Evidence? This is a commercial video. Have you ever seen any special forces with shields? If they were really bullet proof every counter terrorist operation would have shield protection. Sorry but reality looks different. You seriously want to argue with youtube videos? And have you ever seen a policeman with a bulletproof riot shield who got shot? You will not be able to stand on you feets. Riotshields are used to prevent the death. They are just a little insurence if you make a mistake you have a chance to survive. It is not like they think "hell yeah this thing is bulletproof so we can go in there", it is more like "ok if something goes wrong the frontman has a better chance to survive and fall back." I just dont want DayZ to get a game with walking tanks, if it is realistic then it is ok for me, but believe if it is realistic nobody would walk around with those things. I am not against the idea, but if its made realistic it will be pretty useless believe me. So 1. it would be really difficult for the devolopers to even intregrate such a thing 2. the time used to intregrate a useless tool could be spend better somewhere else Like you said it could be a good meele weapon, but against firearms just useless. I just hope if they put this in it wont be like in COD that you are a freaking walking tank. Read what I wrote. If the shield is bulletproof there are alleast 2 guys. One is holding the shield with both hands the other one is using a weapon and hiding behind the shield. If the frontmen gets shot he will most probably fall down, the 2. guy is without protection or has to hold the first guy. How do you want to implement something like that? And these shields are not used to not get hit by bullets, they are used to not die by bullets. You cant compare DayZ with the police. DayZ was from the beginning like a military survival scenario, and there are good reasons why they dont use riot shields in military operations.
