I like vegas, but the others have their merits as well. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a flame war :lol: *knocks wood* I had used Sony Acid previously for sound work and found the migration to Vegas very painless since i knew the interface well from my Acid days .

The beauty of it all is that the lot of us are merely speculating and defending these speculations like they are truth. In reality the game may be shit and die on the vine, or it may become the greatest software title of our generation. Since neither of those things has happened yet we are left to yammer at each on on hypothetical and postulated "maybe's". Here's hoping the game turns out great so I have something to play, and here's hoping it doesn't so my suspicions were justified. Win/WIn Lose/Lose.

This is where i lol'd

This, Genltemen, is how someone debates.

<---------------------Bored of arguing with fanbois

Good points. Comes across as thoughtful and reasoned. Cheers my good man. Most people just scream "ERMAGERD ITS IN ALPHER! NOOB WHY YOU DISSENT?". Honestly its good that they have fans like you. But remember the bigger studios are eyeing this market. And it would be foolish to say people will stick around if a better product rears its head. But it doesn't matter anyways to BIS since they made a metric shit-tonne of cash already. Goodwill is a thing. It's a metric by which the value of a company or product is calculated, and they abused that for myself and many others. The people above who treat my opinions(which echo the opinions of many others) like an attack on their mother seem to have more faith in the leadership of this dev team than I do.

I only see this one.

Conceptualizing what exactly? The map? The Engine? The game mechanics? I'm fairly certain all those things were already "conceptualized". Btw when you have a spare minute I have a bridge to sell you

How do I enter the alternate dimension you live in? Where those things you say are true? And as far as "understanding" goes i said the development priorities are confusing, not saying they are confusing them. Please read the posts more carefully.

The development of this game is slow and unproductive, if you accept that you are welcome to do so. But lets call a spade a spade. And loot if respawning two years into development is a major milestone to you than brother i wish you were my boss, i could get away with anything.

This is what people do when aren't pushed. They do busy work to appear like they are contributing. I've been management long enough to recognize when people are being "busy" instead of "effective". And for me its not that features are missing in the alpha. Its the overall lethargy in the development cycle. Again fanboi nonsense

Bamboozling is present tense. I have been bamboozled, paste tense. SA is bad and it has no reason to be. Period. No one here is referencing anything to justify the delay in the product and the confusing development priorities (im looking at you throw-able items), other than what comes across as mere fanboism.

They are lollygaggers. In no industry is it acceptable to take two months off in the middle of a project.

it does seem as though it has become the "d" word around standalone circles. This thread has a very well articulated OP however

If you are satisfied with the product (that you are not permitted to get a refund for because i tried) and the development cycle by all means continue to play and be entertained. IMO the game is bad, and is only now today where it should have been on early access. The project clearly lacks oversight.

Honestly I hope my words (separate from these quoted words) are taken to heart, and the only way I feel they could do any damage was if they rang true to those who heard them. The game is a disaster. And clearly only sold so well due to the goodwill generated by the polish R4z0r put on the mod. We all expected better, because we had and have better. They had an engine, map and gameplay mechanics all devised. Aside from the wonderful work that has been done on enter-able buildings it begs the question. What in gods name have they been doing? It think we all know. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-04-15-only-dean-rocket-hall-would-take-a-two-month-sabbatical-to-climb-mount-everest http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/29zuuf/i_think_rocketcharacter_is_ruining_atmosphere_in/ EDIT- An one cannot propose that an abundance of revenue in any industry does not slow development.

I knew it. lol

MUST.....RESIT.....URGE...TO.....FEED.....TROLL.....MUST....

This ^

This^ more or less

Obviously.

This place is terrible you say one thing and people jump on you. Sorry buddy. I just want a working game, didnt mean to be rude :)

Son, Rocket doesn't care what you think. Hopefully Hicks does.

This kind of stuff is polish, the kind of polish you put on after ZOMBIES AND CARS.
