When you understand the concept of what an Alpha is you can come back and start using it as an argument but since you clearly don't, why are you using it as an argument? What part of "Alpha" don't you understand. Personally, after reading this thread I think the disclaimer should be changed to "Sorry to all you whiny people that have no clue about game development but when we said you are going to be testing this game we actually meant testing. When we said it would be broken we meant it would be broken. When we stated it isn't finished yet, which is fucking obvious since we released it as "early access", we mean it isn't finished and we're still going to be add a lot more shit into it (and by "shit" we mean a few extra million lines of code that has to be hand typed in by our development team. Now before you can make any comments go and write a million lines of code and then see go back and find all the mistakes you made)."

They paid half the amount for an early access product, not the full fucking amount. This bitchy little whiners don't even realise they could have been paying more if Dean had his way but BIS CEO said no, they would release it for cheaper. They could have made it full price and people would have bought it.

Yeah playing the mod for free for 2 years was awful wasn't it? What part of this thread haven't you read except all of it. You are warned not to buy the game from the get go. You are then told every time you load it that it's early access. You have dean giving talks all the fucking time and interviews so everyone knows what's going on and then people come here and bitch about the game? Not only do they bitch but they are also entirely uneducated about what is going on and make up bullshit figures on top of clearly having no programming experience at all so are not even on the right planet to make comments about how they should be quicker at this and that. I'll leave it to you to say whether this is completely dumbass or not.

Oh look the uneducated are coming out to play. With the money they made, they've bought 2 new development companies I think? So not only have they expanded their company and brought in extra staff, they've upped the entire dayz team. The 2 teams are working on Zed AI and Hunting mechanics but that's not sensational enough for the likes of you. BIS don't make cash grabs you idiot. There one of the only companies that have a thriving modding community but I'll happily eat my words if you can show a larger and better community than BIS and the modders have made.

People should take a look at Star Citizen and the $40 million they already have an NO access at all other than walking around ur hanger - wooppeee. That only cost most of them around $500 for 3 ships. I haven't checked dev on that for a few months so idk if they are now able to do anything else but when they were at the $35 million mark they had nothing.

And how far back do you think development would be if they hadn't released the game? You do realise that BIS are getting data from us right now that is speeding the process along right?

I'm not buying that for a second. So if they didn't release it and then 2 years later it came out and everyone was talking about you "wouldn't have bought it"? Bullshit! The game is perfectly playable right now - what are you on?

IS that where all the COD players are going now - Berezino?

That's spam? I just translated it in google and I couldn't work out what it meant lol!

All they need to do is add the Cryllic name to the map exactly like the web maps.

This is purely anecdotal and not representative of Mac's or PC's. You didn't even post up specs of either machine.

Isn't JC2 made up half with mountains? Or are those just hills I can see?

I have several OS maps at home that easily cover the region (and more) of Chernarus. They're in shops all over the place. What I haven't seen are maps as small 1/4 of the game sized map in rl (why would anyone make one that small anyway, a few square miles?). Also there's a larger point at work here. I can find my way around the world pretty good as I've been playing for years but new players coming into the game? Maps aren't exactly scattered everywhere and when you do find one you have what, a 1 in 3 chance of it being in the area you're in (33%)? So assuming they find a map, say they dared to venture inland like the game designers want, they then further cripple them by making it impossible to tell what town they're in? Could this get anymore thoughtless? The best option would have been to put both names on the maps and should be easily fixable in an update. I cannot think of a reason not to change it or a reason to have 8 separate map pieces - why do we need that extra layer of ridiculousness? Didn't you read my whole post? How are you going to check town names?

Yeah I know but what about the players in game that want to use the map. Currently I have no choice but to refer to a third party map to understand town names. There is no way of working out the name of the town using a map written in English like "Ctapoe" for example - wtf? That's "Staroye" if you were wondering. You have to think about the thought process here by the dev team. They made all the road signs and town signs in Cryllic in the 3D World and yet when they made the in-game map, not one person thought to mention this slight oversight? If you were driving in the region in the real world, a map in English would be useless to you as well! You would have to call a friend and get them on google and say, "OK here's how it's spelt, Errr ok it's looks like a weird captial "A" then a "Y" the number "6" then a "K" and then a backwards "N" can you find that for me?" ...."Let me see.....oh you're in a small town called "Dubky". So Ay6kn spells Dubky.

I remember when I was a wee nipper I was so thirsty I drank out the river. I don't remember it tasting funny but a later I puked my guts up. Other than that I was fine.

I can't agree with this and it annoys me having tiny pieces of map that don't exist in reality. One map is enough, there is no good reason to have 8 pieces of map and the town names need to be written in Cryllic. Having them in English is the most stupid thing I've seen in this game.

I miss those shows they were "pure pwnage" lol

I reality finding something to use would be easy. Why stop at sticks, I piece of piping or plastic or metal. A chair leg - when you think about it there's so many things really available to use as a splint it's pretty stupid splints are so rare. Surely the act of crawling to a place known for spawning splints regularly is enough rather than making your scour acres of land for a fucking stick! lol really?

You coould get firewood using the axe in woods in the mod so not only is it not that difficult, it's been done :)

What a bunch of morons to pay for a server so they can loot farm it. LMAO

IDK I think I had a broken leg once whislt playing the game however, sticks are fucking all over the place. I crawl into the middle of a forest and because I didn't find a stick in the last store I was in I can't find one in the woods? The time I did break my leg was glitching off a ladder on the shipwreck and broke my leg. My mate was with me but we had no sticks and morphine so he says, "I'm going to look for a stick." So I'm thinking, "He is never g..." ... "I found a stick!" LOL he literally walked 10 feet away and there were sticks laying there. The DayZ gods were smiling that day :)

I loke your post OP but I want the zeds in last I think. I want the last update to be the zeds. Months of running around having it easy and then one day you wake up and you're like, "WTF!!" , "Zombies can grab me and drag me down???" , "They require 9 body shots?? I have to hit them in the head??!!" , "I logged in this morning, looked out the window and saw 500 zombies out then they saw me looking at them and 50 ran over and started breaking down the door to my house then I got eaten!" I want the forums erupting in tears as everyone gets ripped apart by the zeds and we all have to learn that there's a new boy in town and his name was Zed!

You don't need to be a developer of this game to know what the game is about and how it is played. The same way you know a racing sim is about racing and if u kept driving the wrong way you're argument would effectively be, "You can't tell me how to play the game I'll drive around the track the wrong way if I want!" Now if you can't be arsed to look for loot and travel to meet your friends and survive then you are playing the wrong game.

It takes 20 minutes to hook up if you know where you're going.
