No I don't want neither helicopters or any kind of vehicles in game In fact the devs might as well label this game as finished and It would be Ok I already got my money's worth. Srly I'm close to the first thousand of hrs and stil can't get enough (haven't seen a single hacker yet btw) /s

How do you know this? Do you work at BE or know someone that does work at BE? Or are you just trashtalking?

More like dupping gear

I'd hope so but with the problems they are having with the zombie navmesh I think creating new maps its going to be way too difficult and time demanding

This. The real problem is not the amount of player slots, its the lack of game changing features. Game right now is get a gun and then go KoS or get Kosed. Nothing much to do No reason to team up or interact with other players, less reasons to explore the map. So peope get bored and go to the main pvp area One would expect to get game features implemented during alpha stage, yet except for hunting everything we get is hot fixes and content that adds nothing to the game

Well, you can't have fanboys downvoting all the "rants" from the "cod kiddies" here

Legally speaking, they can abandon the project at any time for almost any reason and it would be ok, thats stated on the terms of service everyone agreed when buying. But BI's reputation would be destroyed, this is probably their most "mainstream" game. Stil, I don't get all these comments, its a legit question and some people are overreactiong so much its funny. Also it has nothing to do with the money, its not about if its worth it or how much blowjobs you can get with 30usd, I get what OP is thinking

I wish there was more whinning and less white knighting in this community

You actually enjoy being a complete dick don't you? To each its own I guess

Maybe its not just about the money? Can't really imagine someone getting upset because of a -15% sale.. but I can really understand someone feeling cheated when Rocket has said before that the price would only go up

You are a mindless tool.

Considering the alpha was released past december, and with all the progress we have seen since day one, when do you expect to have an official release date? Yeah, right, we have estimated dates but that doesnt really counts, specially when the game has sold thousands of copies without any mention of an official release date.

They use reddit a lot because there they can rely on their utterly biased fangirls security team to downvote everything that resembles negative feedback. Go check the top threads, these make the game look flawless. This forum looks like a ghost town when you compare it with dayz subreddit

Short answer = Rushed release right before christmas and fast cash grab. Long answer The dev's excuse is that everything is being made from scratch. Now, why would they want to release an alpha that is way behind the mod (which its also in alpha) in terms of gameplay and core features its beyond my imagination. I still remeber the last year, with all the suggestions and fresh ideas from the community and the devs being so open and discussing with us what would this game be in terms of gameplay. Stuff like liberated cities, survivor camps, radio tower broadcast, supply drops and so. Now I feel like all these wasted time "dreaming" about a game was a waste. I also remember when they told us that SA would run in a new engine, and this is what we get, all the same problems with the old mod and even more. At least in the mod the AI had a solid pathfinding mechanic, hackers still there, exploits, glitchs, duped items, everything is there. And BE as always, is a joke. Not going to talk about h1z1 or rust since I did not played any of these games, but I also feel like sharing my thoughts

Because lack of features People get bored = kos for the lulz Simply as that and I can't see this getting improved with time sadly, development too slow

Well.. Its kind of out of place, I'd rather have a makarov/tokarev than this, these are better and fit in with the gameworld. But I guess adding a new caliber would complicate things

I'd rather have all these annoying random noises removed first

So, as title says, do you think that releasing this game in its state as EA alpha back in december was a good idea? Do you think it needed more work even for an alpha release? Or maybe more features implemented?

One thing I can't seem to understand, if you were falsely banned, why buy another copy?

Only for all these TWD daryl fangirls

NEAT! wonder if there are ruined binos too

I am more worried about they not being able to stick with the roadmap and hence having to cut content in order to reach beta in time. I don't think BI wants this game to be in alpha indefinitely

Sorry if I kind of vanished from this topic, I had issues with my computer during the past days and had no chance to check all these responses. Glad to see this thread got such attention. It was my mistake using the word broken. What I mean is that this alpha, even months after release, has no core mechanics working properly. And I am talking about the core mechanics that make a zombie survival game. Of course its alpha, but its an alpha being sold for 30usd on the most popular gaming platform and in my opinion it should have these mechanics working in order to make the game fun to play. Ofc thats my opinion. Others might find it fun to play, but not me. And yes, I have my opinion on this topic but that doesn't mean it can change or that I don't care about others opinions. Its a forum after all.

Believing they actually released this broken alpha because "we asked for it" is pretty naive. At the end of the day, Rocket is just a designer... releasing this alpha before christmas was BI's exectutives decision

I would change it's community. I would erase everyone's memoryes and have them play the game from scratch. Maybe this way I could have some good player interaction instead of the standard bad boyz gang force feeding disinfectant through ur ass nigg"
