I wouldn't care less,if he had wishes to start a game about zombies and plants (sarcasm) in the future. What i care is,to see this current game fully completed,and a Lead Dev that actually talks with his team and community striving to make a better game for us DayZ fanbase.Now if he succeeds to establish this game playable/entertaining and ready for a full realease i will be gladly to follow his future work as a satisfied customer.If mr Dean thinks that this game developing,holds him back from his dreams of making a studio of his own and creating that elusive survival RPG (which is not DayZ),then i really think that he has to pass the scepter to someone that actually cares and will strive to make this game better more than his creator. Edit:What i'm saying is,if he wishes to leave,he should leave as soon as possible and not in 10 months time. Sooner the better,if he legitlly dosne't care that much,truth is someone else should pick up the slack,otherwise he may slow down the game's progress.

Hahaha i was about to say the same thing :P But concerning the other post you made.... Yeah i also believe he dosen't like what he is doing and that's just wrong.It's not hate exactly...he feels it's something that is holding him back which is incorect.Success formulas are rare and random,he may not duplicate his success on another game...but i suspect that his head is touching the clouds.

We all know the "once he is finished" part.But according to his behavior and stance,i don't see himself much passionate about it. It's like "i have to,because i have a contract" kind of thing,and not "i'm very excited about this,and will strive every day to make the game better".That's not what a man in his position should be like in my opinion.

To be honest,the most professional thing to do in this case,is to step down and give his title as a Lead Dev to someone who actually cares,and wants to see the game materialized.If you don't intent to finish something from top to bottom,and lack the courage and passion to do so,then you should not do it in the first place.We all got our hopes up and believed in his "vision".Bottomline is,i hope we get a new Lead as soon as possible that actually gives a damn about the community's wishes.Even if game's not according to his vision,it can go according to the community's vision as long as we have a suitable candidate for his position that shares his love for the game.

This is exactly what must be done. If by any chance DayZ makes a realise as a flawed product,when Dean opens a new shop,i wouldn't be intreasted in any of his new "ideas".As harsh as it may sound,if he makes a good use of the invest i made,i will be willing to invest alot more on his future ideas.But this game is still on the works,you wouldn't just consider about "leaving" also calling it a flawed project and that it dosen't meet your expectations.If you love what you do,you will stay backing you idea/game from start to finish,striving to make it better every day.

Was San Andreas Multiplayer mod perfect? Was JC2 Multiplayer mod perfect Was DayZ mod perfect? But people accepted them more than the AAA title games. I literally grew up playing SAMP because it is fun.And the reason of Gta's success was mainly because of the mod. Yet Rockstar didn't realese Gta V on pces,and went for consoles.It's like saying to the people that made the game known "screw you,i'm moving on".For me Rockstar lost some of my credability.I would hate to see the same/similar situation unfold with DayZ.

My thoughts exactly,as we all are aware,he is the one who started the game and he should be the one most excited than anyone else in my opinion cause it's his "creation" and he should be proud abou it.Yet if he's not willing to pay extra attention to his "baby" project that made him the guy he is today,then we should be looking for foster parents as soon as possible.

I'll be straight with the community,if he wants to leave,he should leave right away and not wait. Not because some contract binds him to the Lead position.It's 10 months yes,but he clearly shows his disatisfaction.Other people will murder for his position in a game like DayZ,and i'm not talking in account of the money.I don't care if you have a team of 50 script kiddies working on the project,as long as they are passionate and driven by fun in what they do,the game will have bright dayZ ahead of it.

It's not about the decision to abandon his position as the Lead dev. It's about the community's most darkest fears,that he won't be very passionate about making Dayz the mother of all RPGs (myself included and hardcore fans consider Dayz to be the mother of all Rpgs out there,at least for now) if he is talking about leaving this early.We are currently lacking basic game infastructure,and without him,the game lacks vision.In my opinion,as long as the game is stable and all goes well and release,the community is going to put 50 times the work Dean and his team put in his game. :) It's not that i fear the game going to hell...but lackin passion could lead to a tombstone.

I know....it sounds like a stupid question to ask.The phone grid would overflow by the massive call number and fail. But,what happens after? Would there be a way to restore phone and possible internet communications? And how long would it take for the communication system to fail due to the lack of maintance?

Thanks for your kindness,but sadly neither i am trolling or an American citizen. We mostly were discussing,how long will the communication systems would take to fail,what are the alternatives and if anything can be salvaged/restored.If for example it was viable to restore some sort of communication,or have alternatives besides walkie-talkies things like that would make an excellent addition for DayZ.But you see,i need to make sure that what i'm gonna suggest is supported in real life.

Hmmm...let's think millitary then. Back at WW2 the soldiers were using Field telephones. They had theese linemen and they assigned them from point A to B depending on the operation. They were a pain in the ass,but it might be a good alternative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_telephone

There is a dam too,but i don't know if it is for the purpose of generating energy. (First pic is achived with script i think)

So there will be no way for us to restore the pre-existant phone line network in Cherno? Or accomplishing that takes more than what we could chew?

Heh,i bet most of the first infected victims in a case of a real Apocalypse would be the ones that are hooked behind the PC screen not bothering to look outside of their windows :P But internet is not Facebook alone (even though for a big portion of people it is) and could get a very handy tool. From what i gathered,internet with high speeds,is not very viable.But is it possible to have the old peer to peer network? Or something relevant? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer

Good thing you can't destroy buildings,by throwing cans of beans in the SA version :P But i think i heard rumors that Dean is going to implement them in the future. Realisticly speaking,should you be able to stun somebody by throwing a can of beans on their head?

Canadians were supposed to be nice....

Currently it's just 1,491,662 and hasn't reached 1.5 But soon.... it is undoubtely without a question a huge success for a game.

If you have a microphone,teamspeak is a programm which enables communication with others through a server proxy. It can be downloaded here: http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads

Ah i get it,so you want this to be implemented because of the realism factor it provides. I guess it didn't occur to you you that people will start using this as a torture method feeding cuffed victims fecal mattter. Edit:Yeah,i'm a little touchy on the subject,because this is meant to be a survival simulator,not a troll fest.

Why the hell would a logical human beign would want to put the ability to poo in game? Besides mr skow,you didn't make this game.If you disagree about something,explain the reason of your dissagrement in a civilized manner.I want to hear why you disagree,that's how a forum conversation works.Don't be like "hey if you don't like it fuck off" and say things like "i'm not bothering to explain myslef". Also back at a different post about inventory system. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172875-inventory-system/page-2 I'm also expecting an answer to the question i made you.Since you only commented "sorry but no thanks"

You envisioned a game full of shit?

It's a good idea,why not a makeshift tent/shelter,with natural materials? (branchees,leeves etc) But tents are coming soon,if we add natural made ones,along with the man made ones it could work.

Ok....why?
