I don't know about the others but I cant wait........

BOTH

So are you prepared to give us details on your game.... screenshots... gameplay video? Everyone can say they have the best game and that chances are we will want to play it. Fact is bug free doesn't mean PLAYABLE or fun it just means you are anal in bugtesting... As to lack of respect for others opinions, when you have an attitude in your post and say you couldn't give a shit then is it fair that others wont respect your post or opinions... I am all for a fair discussion but coming over angry in a post does no one any favours And as to how it was done in your day, I was involved in game development back on Atari's and Amiga's etc.. I have met alot of programmers, artists, musicians etc... most of them were really nice people who enjoyed making games..... maybe game designers have evolved into shouting moaning dont care about PR perfect coders..... oh well

Ok hands up anyone who thinks rocket didnt test the game, or if you think he should release a patch daily, or you don't like the fact its an alpha and has glitches or want to complain how much it cost you and its still buggy All those with your hands up, please go outside and let the big boys play the game!

So are you working on a mod that sits off the back of another game and cannot change the fundemental code of said game? And why the hell move to Beta when he is using the alpha to see what features add to gameplay and what doesnt. If he goes to beta now people will complain that the game is just PVP as there isnt enough to do...... I really dont think I want to play your game if the post above is your attitude.. I also think your explanation of alpha and beta is ..... flawed and bear in mind he is ADDING SHIT...he keeps adding features and then working out the kinks I wonder if Rocket wakes up and goes " I let all these people have early access to this game... was I a fool?"

So you think Rocket went, oh dear all the kiddies on the forum are moaning that we havent released a patch on time. FK it lets just upload whatever we can even if its untested and hope they don't notice. Hmmm. Either thats true and Rocket doesn't know what he is doing OR they did test it on all the machines they had available and then released it thinking it was fixed but a number of us have still got glitches or bugs.. he doesnt have thousands of test machines and we are his testers. God I could imagine alot of people on these forums getting a job as a games tester, could you imagine them come tuesday afternoon, quietly playing the game and boom... they find a bug. Do they A) make a note of the bug and how it happened with details etc or B) throw ALL of his toys out of the pram, go shout at the programmer that he is a lazy s.o.b and how dare he get the tester to play this buggy piece of crap and then the tester vows to never play the game again....

Looks like we have a new bill gates!!!

in Dayz I do all three.... although i do walk the most... alot of walking.... damn lot

I think people should have to take a course on " What being and Alpha means and what they can expect to happen" before allowed to download the MOD. I had numerous bugs that have taken weapons and thrown me in the ocean or had to deal with hackers etc. Its a pain but its an alpha mod so I know to expect problems. If you cant handle the fact the game might kill you or cause you problems due to bugs, leave it alone.Wait for the standalone version and read reviews on it. Then come back when your ready for a finished game.

Kudos and Beans to you. I have had a few moments in the game where it kept spawning zombies, once in a tower I was running low on ammo and the bodies had piled up and I ended up making a run for it and just getting away alive. Due to the numbers it made it intense rather than, oh look 4 zombies.... easy. It should make it so yes you can avoid them or if you aggro them you have to run away etc etc or decide to stay and fight. Knowing that the amount of zombies could be suicide so you would be more likely to team up with people ( but I say the zombie spawn numbers should increase with more people in the vicinity ) This would then make it so you are careful and pick your fights with other humans but you would know that the worse thing in the game is other humans

I would love to see more survivors on bikes, especially if they could shoot at each other whilst cycling.... I had such a blast cycling through Cherno tinkling my bike bell.. imagine 20 people all doing that through town ..... next time i find a bike im going to start a paper round in elektro....

Why play the game then... the idea is you have risk vs reward, if everyone disconnects at the first hint of a fight then why don't we have a single player game instead. I had a situation today, player on ATV got me and I could have disconnected but wanted to see how it ended... ended up with me dying but doesnt matter.. I will start again and man up and get my gear again...

Anyone who will put this on a forum deserves my beans

Dayz or your girlfriend?

In the beginning I found alot more people open to not shoot on sight or stab you in the back, I think it was down to the side channel and bandit skin.... allowed people to arrange to meet without being 30m away. I did meet up with alot of strangers and 80-90% of the time we parted company without lead being shot.... Now everyone just assumes the worst and will kill you before you can say friendly or they will stab you in the back the first chance they get. Its a shame as it can be a good laugh to meet a total stranger and run with them for sometime and loot up... then both part company as friends... Nowadays I expect the worst of strangers so dont poke my head out going "Hello would you like a cup of tea"......

In the beginning I found it easier to meet up and trust other players, now there is no side chat the teaming up is a trickier issue Shame its not easier to meet and team up with people and not get shot before you can do the friendship wiggle ( or an axe to the back... ) rip Husk... rip

Player loaded with loot walks into cherno and gets shot and gets upset.... I would have thought he should have slapped himself on the forehead and realised the rookie mistake

Can I also say if anyone wants to use the word Retard to think carefully... some people find it offensive and Im sure you all could come up with more apt names for each other.... you badger lovers

If I die and lose my stuff cause someone shot me then fair enough, I could have played better. if I die by falling off a ladder or a glitch then dang but its an alpha I get it...... but if the hacking continues you are going to see people get fed up and give up with the game. I understand its not hacking its script kiddies and I understand how you solve the issues by patching it etc etc. The fact is at the moment alot of people are losing characters and loot to scripts that mean they stand no chance and will just get fed up So really its now a question of just sitting and waiting to see what happens... or maybe post on here and get someone on here moaning at you..... seems no one can have a decent conversation on this forum anymore

Why would you go into cherno with that gear. Why not paint a big sign on your back saying " kill me" oh wait... they did I have been dropped on the coast twice now with not bad gear and I got the hell out of there as I know its a clusterfk of killing for giggles and loot OP..... its just stuff... go find it again

But you would still have people who are friends working together keeping the sanity then waiting to pick off lone wolfs who need someone else to restore sanity..... punishing those who don't need punishing

You can find me watching a tower, waiting.... to T bag you

We all bow down to your superior skills. keep it up.

This I have found in the past some spawns produce nothing and I had to end up giving up and coming back later but mostly now if you go into a shop or other building you should find some food. My first task as a fresh spawn is weapon and then matches and bigger pack. Then work onto knife / hatchet so I can go into the wilderness and plan what to do next.

Well he doesnt have to team up with people in a multiplayer game, if it was a single player game we would all be bored by now...... The fact is the sandbox allows us to play how we want, he and I like to lone wolf it and I have tried teaming up but not recently. Too risky at the moment and I think if you make Zeds hard to the point you would have to team up to go into town you will penalise lone wolfs who can't risk it and reward clans and then you will get more banditry as people will sit and watch, wait for someone to go get loot then snipe them from a safe distance.
