Yeah.. this guy has no clue really.. I have played numerous "alphas" and this very well may be THE most stable and well built one I have ever played. I can literally pick up this game and play it and have fun with its CORE personality as a game and be satisfied. The bugs that deter me at the moment are ladders, the spawn-reset, and the some times random-clipping bug. I have never been able to limit myself to three core things playing an alpha... because Alphas typically dont even work right at all (so three alone could be hard).. look at games that launched aside DayZ, the game did so well because while they not only launched an alpha game and told people in so many ways it was an alpha and could not work to their expactation for a while.. They also built a very strong foundation of a game we can all become testers on.. This is a game we can all sit and play and not be overly encumbered by the fact it is an Alpha.. But, the game succeeds in so many levels(gosh, can it only get better!), I am so excited!

So far the new areas in the SA have been amazing besides the glitches(the Boat is so bad-ass but falling off it sucks!). I am very excited about this! Sounds like from the patch notes they have all developmental category on fire! They are working!

Community's fault he decided to rant and not search.. We are ass-hats.

You have no idea in any shape or form of what an Alpha is. So in another words, you have no god damn idea what the hell you are talking about. Edit: Even for an Alpha.

Nice edit bro.

Oh, I'm sorry... So if it's "upgraded" from Arma 2.0.. what is it then? Like, 2.001, 2.003312, 2.3331,? Oh... Wait.. that would mean its not the same version as the arma 2 or arma 3 engine would it? And go have yourself a jolly in the bathroom by yourself if you even think the engine hasn't been tweaked you lamer.

ALPHA: you literally just outlined what an ALPHA is supposed to be. They are testing none of the things you are complaining about. You serve the game no purpose at the moment, please play something else and complain about it while constructive people make this a good game. Btw... BEST PART, "it's certainly a good foundation for upcoming content". ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA,

That doesn't fix the overall problem and is only a band-aid for the real problem. Suicide exists because there is no reason not to(to try and reach an optimal spawn point)..and I agree that is also a problem. There also wouldn't be a way to detect if a person killed themselves versus an accident(falling off a cliff running or such). Bodies in the current build will be despawning after ten minutes because of most likely server issues. Once they optimize loot spawning/vehicles/zeds/ and everything else that is handled server side, you will be seeing very large and proportionate player spawning, corpse decomposing, and even zed timers. You are all once again freaking about a test number that is a place-holder.

Wrong first of all.. It's built on an arma 2.5 Engine(Hybrid). Grats.

Yeah, you're right, it pretty much means that person came here to explore a game of grandeur and only found one of bugs and testing.. Imagine that?.. People and their ADD internet tendency's...They think "Alpha" and "glitches","bugs", hold no synonym.

Community is a horde of 12 year old zombies waiting to bite at the first taste of flesh from the developers.

Thats monday on the EXPERIMENTAL SERVERS.. FFS... Really?!

^ Winning.

CAPS LOCK: Its not the final version that is going to be always in the game. It's only in this patch to affect server issues handling bodies.It WILL be different when server stability is fully optimized. Please Comprehend. Thanks.

It really is, I'm sure you have extensive testing background bro. Edit: My bad, you have a heath ledger avatar, you're a supreme bad-ass. Croatia be proud?

Just so you know, "even for alpha" the game is in great shape.. LRN2ALPHABRO.

Cliffnotes: Try and be helpful and stop just whining.

You could replace "its alpha" with "someone who posts its alpha"... btw,.... "builded"?

Right? Seems obvious :(

Its not a end all be all thing they did to help performance... Server stability and such has and always will be their first and foremost thing they will have to focus on and even more so as they go forward and only add items to their global figure count.. Eventually, when they figure out Zombie/Zed/Zombwads spawning/scripting/AI and Loot respawning, vehicles. Everything that will contribute how the server reacts and performs will be involved. Currently with this addition of enhancements there has not been a great detail of server upside... So I am sure in order to balance the CURRENT situation they have reduced body despawn to 10minutes. This is to ONLY reduce torque on the servers that could be caused from bodies piling up over time and things not being organized enough to handle it at the moment. I doubt they plan to have corpses only last 10 minutes total. We all need patience, you not being able to loot your dead body you want to hump in less then ten minutes will not help the game unless you understand why it is only ten minutes.

I have got to agree.. these people have at most a very basic basis of what is going on with what they purchase from the actual people who do the work to make some "dumb" money from video games. These type of people purchase it to just go "OMG LAWLS, I R SO KEWL.".

.

Pretty... much.. you are all a little short sighted and the only reason they did this was to free a little server strain while adding some other things. Sorry.. :( A.D.D. Monkeys you all seem to be. It WILL be changed later.

Soooooo serious...
