I'm far from in the minority. 3 million copies sold. 9000 current players.

Go get someone to ban me from the forums then. And everyone else who isn't happy with broken promises.

Zombies don't work but look, we can paint our guns different colours! Yay........

2013 - "early access alpha" 2016 - "early access alpha" Step 1. Make a broken game Step 2. Tell everyone it's still in "Alpha" Step 3. Receive complaints about game Step 4. Repeat step 2 Step 5. Profit

Also, this is whats wrong with the DayZ community. You've got on these rose coloured glasses and are buckled into the band wagon so tightly, the blood isn't circulating well enough to your brain. Hows that dev road map btw? lel

No, I'm saying I'd rather them start from scratch and do it right then continue on with the pipe dream that the current game has become. And exactly, 2 and half years and we aren't out of alpha yet. We don't even have working zombies yet... in DayZ. Should just be called DayH for hats. (And my 300 hours we're put in the first 6 months or so. I uninstalled it after that and just told myself to wait for 1.0...)

Wonder how much they pay you to be a yes man. Because I don't know how else you can earn a living... assuming you have also put 3000 hours in this pre-game.

3000 hours? So you want me to put 125 days of game time in. Are you nuts? You must be like unemployed, single, and poor. No. I get a voice because I purchased this game in early access. Early access meaning that the game will be finished... this decade.

Just checking in at the halfway mark. How are we looking?

Listen, devs. At this point, I wouldn't even be mad if you guys decided to scrap it and start over from scratch. I got like 300 or so hours since December 16th 2013. I got my money's worth of fun. Hell, I'd even pay a good $15 CAD again just to have a good alpha build of said hypothetical new game. The way it was supposed to be. Working zeds with hordes etc.

I honestly think, and can't blame them, the devs are getting tired of DayZ. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know I would be if I was in their shoes. Like... Its been probably 4 years since the start of early development, or at least coming up on 4... dealing with the weird development cycle of this game, (having artists pumping out graphics, textures and modellers pumping out equipment before the core engine and game mechanics are 100% done and polished.), dealing with a frustrated community (including myself) with no telling how much longer to go... Then the project lead dips because "reasons"... At this point, we're too far in for a fresh start and people have paid too much money for early access so you feel obligated to finish it... I'd be frustrated and counting the days till I can rid my hands of this game if I was a developer.

One thing at a time... Let them focus on zombies first. I think we're over due in that department.

The poll would be more in the other direction if the forums didn't die and have to be duct taped back together. All the people who do think it is a disappointment didn't bother coming back after that happened. All the people who don't, did come back. Except me. 2 and a half years almost... and this is what we got. But a part of me hasn't given up hope.
