And you have still no idea what you are talking about. I will repeat it until you stop repeating your waste of time.

Funny how you post an exact definition and ignore the meaning of it. As it says. It operates on his own. It does not need anything else to operate, because all it needs is shipped with the software. It does NOT matter, if the parts are developed for something else. You would say a table is not a standalone system, because it contains a screw that is not specifically manufactured only for this table. If you continue to argue against this, I won't answer.

First things first. Im just deadly annoyed by people complaining in a way they should get banned for. Crying everywhere. They have so little knowledge about how you develop a game in any way. They expected sth. out of nowhere and now they are COMPLAINING about an alpha. They don't say. Well this should be improved they are bashing the devs. So... addressed at your "still a mod theme". This game is BASED on a mod. And it is BASED on the existing engine. You can't expect that it is any different. You shouldn't have bought it. This information was out there. And if you want to take place in the early access, you should have known that. Otherwise its your own damn fault, you dont inform yourself about an EARLY ACCESS game. Btw. The definition of a "Standalone Title" is: "You can play it without any other game bought." Have you ever developed any game for a year and a half? Obviously not. I'll explain to you, what happened there: They took the engine and the mod code. And improved/altered the engine so that it fits their needs. And they kicked out every single piece of mod code and redeveloped and improved it. That is why there are less features in this game. Because they are redeveloping it. The redevelopment is just BASED on the IDEA of the mod. I also tell you what the fucked up alternative is: They threw in the additional modcode. And spend time adjusting this not fully functional code, which they won't use in the end anyways. Devtime wasted. Also there would be incompatibilities, which would insert bugs or consume even more time, if you fix them. And if you say WarZ is greater than DayZ Mod/SA you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about ( there are many basic principles in DayZ, that makes WarZ unacceptable. for instance bullet drop. Have you played origins?. Housing. Vehicles. I waste my time. -.-) Now Im going to tell you, what I think about this game: Short and simple. It is exactly what I expected. And it is totally enough for me. The problem is, they are using an unsuited engine for this game. The zombie problems, the UI issues, and the unresponsible actions and stuff are engine related. This won't get much better. Trust me Im an Engineer. But: TOTALLY WHAT I PAID FOR! Anything else is just unrealistic. :)))

For your information. The last great alpha I played, was minecraft. And you could place and destroy blocks there. Without any inventory. Without any mobs. Without any needs. It was a basic engine test.

Shut up, already. Bugs: Of course there are bugs. Amount of Weapons: This is no fuckin big deal. There will come a lot of them. There is no point in implementing them, since the engine is/was the focus for the last year. Vehicles: They are coming. And I believe they will be much better than in the mod. Look at the attachment system in comparison. If they keep this level of detail up, it will be great. Map: The map has been improved by exactly the way people were asking for. I don't like chernarus either, but there is no barrier to implement another map. ITS ALPHA. If the devs fix these issues, the 25€ are well spend. I'm feeling pretty comfortable about what I expect to come. Apart from the unresponsive UI and animation, there is no point worth of complaining right now, since all the things you mentioned are CLEARLY alpha related. As for the cashing in on an unfinished game. Did you read the conversation the last year? Rocket mentioned an alpha too early and since then EVERYBODY has gone insane about being able to play the alpha. And this is what you get. Be happy to have a little taste about the SA. Just to give you a little hint, what is going to happen the next 2-3 months: There will be no big new features in the game. Guns will get implemented and bugs are getting fixed. And MAYBE some litte feature improvement, like using that item for that. This is what development is like. It is SLOW. So lower your expectations accordingly and stop wasting everybodys time with your uninformed bullshit. (uninformed bullshit is even worse than bullshit, because its sad, instead of annoying) Be happy about supporting a companies great afford to put a first fully functional zombie survival horror mmo out there.
