No the biggest question you should be asking is, "Why am I still playing this game?" And don't you dare come back with, "That was a short comment. It has no meaning" I am exhausted. Search and read all my other posts on this thread. I have already laid out my case and my argument can't be broken. Ever.

Mookie. Have you even read the first post of this thread titled "September Rant"? That's defensible to you? That's constructive and helpful? I don't mind reading criticism about the game. It's not mine and I have no personal stake in it other than playing a game I really enjoy and knowing it will be much better. That criticism I have no problem with. It's the constant, in every thread, in every discussion about the game that some players have a need to constantly berate the progress of the Alpha product with nothing constructive. The calling the game a POS, or the devs are a bunch of imbeciles, the devs don't know how to make a game, Rocket is an idiot and needs to go, BI made all their money so now they don't give a crap about finishing this piece of junk, get rid of the zombies, and on and on and on. Call it what you want but this "product" is an Alpha and advertised and sold as such. It is rude the way some people choose to voice their "expert" opinion and then say they are just doing it to help the devs know about a bug. That in itself is insulting by the very fact that there is a bug tracker informing the devs of anything astray. Also it's like saying to an overweight, unsightly woman that she is a fat, ugly bitch and that they are only saying that to help her out. That's laughable. So if you choose to defend this ignorant, immature person and not call a spade a spade, so be it. I will never be silent on calling out this word vomit and calling it what it is. edited for levity: After all I'm Vice President of P.A.B.B. That is, People Against Bad Behavior.

Nice try of trying to spin the ALPHA into a game in your first paragraph, It's not a game. It's an ALPHA. A game being developed. Why the caps? I don't know maybe because you keep calling it a game. Because in a game people expect a lot less bugs and glitches and because in an ALPHA it's a product being developed into a game. I figure if I scream (it's screaming in computerese to use all caps, isn't it?) you might realize and call it what it always states it is. An ALPHA. Why the snide tone? Well you are defending the cancer to this community aren't you?

There were managers that I had while in the military and also in civilian jobs that felt this way. At one of my bases a sign was hung which stated "The beatings will stop when morale improves." I tell you I hated every second of being there. Productivity doesn't come from pressure. It comes from respect and knowing your boss has your back. Let's just agree to disagree. What position at BI do you have to even say the second sentence garbage. What management position there do you have to suggest anyone is squandering time on things that simply aren't immediately relevant? You have no basis to assume such a fact to back up your beating over the head argument. Even if that did work? Hey, I heard they need Beta testers over at that other game.

Umm, NO. Everyone parted with their cash for an ALPHA. A game in development. And was warned about it everywhere. Nice try Mookie.

Xbow no, you went over to the darkside. The force is not great with you (voiced by Yoda).

Hothtimeblues, I always think you're on the verge of a little understanding, and then, BAM you say the most ridiculous things. I don't know if there is any hope for you. You are a persistent little cuss aren't you?

Dash, same sentiments exactly. It's funny how things don't bother somebody until it happens to them. Sad sort of affairs these days. If only this f--- would realize he was cheated out of a good gaming experience and so many others as well.

Can anybody say, "RUN, RUN for the hills"? I love this game. It's like having a teddy bear where the stuffing is coming out, it's missing a leg, and it's missing an eye or nose. But it's so comforting to hold onto.

Hey, I want a banana split but take those nasty bananas out will you. :P

I havn't said it yet but there are a few posters who are extremely lucky the forum mods are such nice guys. In a lot of other communities they would have been banned as trolls and troublemakers as they usually don't add anything constructive to the community. They are certainly lucky I ain't a moderator. And yes I will butt in anytime I feel rudeness and disrespect is emanating from a poster. No I'm not a moderator, but I am Vice Pres of P.A.B.B. That's people against bad behavior.

yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt!

Enough is enough. The game is an ALPHA. It was advertised as such and still is every day when you press the big I UNDERSTAND button. It is what is. Don't like it take a break. Come back in a year. You probably would have had to wait a couple of years if early access wasn't granted. It will be finished when it's finished. Stop displaying such ignorance and entitlement "I want it now working perfectly" nonsense. Again, don't like it? Don't play it? There are soooooo many games out there to play. I want a new Fallout. I don't even know if it's in the works. Are they working on an ALPHA? Don't know. But it has been years since New Vegas. I feel very privileged to be able not just to know but also allowed to be involved in my favorite games's development. For what? Less than a full tank of gas for my car. Don't worry. Be happy. And furthermore, to suggest that BI took your money and now don't care to even finish the game is just utter ridiculousness. They are a huge company that makes good games. Why in the world would they ruin their reputation for a few measly dollars? In business reputation is everything. Just look at other companies who sold their reputations for a few dollars more. I don't know why I even post. I guess I just like a little confrontation. I read the forums to learn a little. But each and everyday the same tired whining and complaining. Yeah, I know. You can save your little typing fingers, you can say the same. But there is one huge difference between me and you. I am intelligent enough to know what it is I bought and try and be helpful. I also have patience and the understanding that any great undertaking takes time. I don't feel entitled to anything more than I already have and will receive. I also have no clue (zero) what it takes to put together a game (any game). Flame me, curse me, call me names but my argument can't be broken.

Sorry General. I have edited my original post. I was joking of course. Can't seem to write sarcasm in. Which smiley is the sarcastic look?

Umm. Where in the hell have I seen this? ;)

Sorry General Zod on this one. Play ANOTHER game. Seriously I'm just joking. :lol:

I don't play in the dark. In reality I would find a safe spot and bed down for the night. I don't know about you but I would be scared @#$%less walking around with things wanting to eat me. To each his own. Leave me be in peace.

Ummmm - walking

Where in the hell did certain people (and reading the forums there are quite a few) get the idea that this game was designed as a First Person Shooter Deathmatch game and that any sort of PvE element of the game was purely giving into those of us who see the game as much much more. Really, Where? Like most people I started with the mod basically buying Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead to play Dayz. For crying out loud they are still modding the mod implementing PvE elements even today. Why is my signature line so hard to grasp and believe. I would think that the people responsible for the game would know what they designed and its intended use. I'm dumbfounded. I really. really am.

Only because these same KOSers will turn around and complain about the zeds or the environment or because they can't gear up like Rambo in 5 minutes. To me both extremes are wrong. Both PvP and PvE make Dayz what it is. The middle IS Dayz. Also stupid play should be punished. You wait. The glitched zombies right now are a placeholder. A pretty good abstarction if you ask me if the devs do make the zombies a viable threat.(I did not say the ONLY threat, I said viable threat). Watch all the bitchin and moanin when their KOS killfest is interrupted. Or they can't run through a town and get geared because of these zeds. Like I said stupid play has to be punished.

My intriguing question still confounds me. Why, with all the different games out there would someone choose to try and convince a developer to take his game in a direction he doesn't want to take it? Everyday naysayers are trying to push BI to make Dayz move in a certain direction even to the point of suggesting there be no zombies. BOOM. Blows my mind.

This ain't necessarily so. If I'm looking out of a dark room for instance to the outside, I can see you but you can't see me. I believe that's a fundamental element of snipering. That LOS stuff you are stating is game mechanics. I can think of hundreds of instances where I may see you but you can't see me. I just stated one instance. I'm not sure if you misunderstood me or not but usually that is the reason most people will justify third person view. They have a right to their opinion and if the game allows it so be it. I can look out of a very tiny hole in a fence for example and you couldn't see me. I don't care what kind of vision enhancing equip you use. I don't play in third person because of the inability for a computer simulation to properly simulate fidelity. 3PP is way too overpowered in computer games. We must balance this sometimes with abstraction. Only until we have holodecks in our homes of course.

Sought of a second question here - What are the sales figures like for ARMA 3? The reason I ask is that some of the naysayers of Dayz SA always bring up how good ARMA 3 is and how much fun Breaking Point is (BP ARMA2 or ARMA3 mod?). Are the player numbers comparable? If they aren't then a few people are trying to fool themselves by saying they want just PvP and deathmatch. After all isn't ARMA 3 and BP just that? Or do "most" players really do want PvE elements? And if so why do so many want to push Dayz that way?(deathmatch I'm referring to). Intriguing.
