What mods? Thats what people are bitching about. Wheres the mod to clear up the confusion and regulate this thread?

Yup, i just posted the updates that they did on one month. Riding Jock doesnt help development Dr. Goner. I dont think your really a doctor, cause you wou;ld know creating scenarios in your head and playing into them isnt healthy.

Do you play any other alphas? I've been playing Project Zomboid, Kerbal Space Program, Space Engineers, and a few others. DayZ is updated more than ANY of them. ANY. Updated more than Space engineers? HA! your funny. Go count those updates, and the time between them and come back and tell me that again. I'll wait. No, i wont here ill do it for you 04/10/2014Update 01.025 has been released. 04/03/2014 Update 01.024 has been released. 03/27/2014 Update 01.023 has been released. 03/24/2014 Two key-milestones in the development of Space Engineers have been achieved: Survival mode and Multi-player... 03/20/2014 Update 01.022 has been released. 03/13/2014 Update 01.021.024 has been released 03/03/2014 Update 01.020.005 has been released. Update 01.023 has been released. Thats one month. So what BS were youtrying to spread again?

All the people are angry at is the fact that there is no communication, and while i appreciate the moderation some of these users are trying to do, your obviously here for new info as well, not just to be Deans good Samaritan and do a job that should be taken care of by a member of staff. What people are forgetting is this isn't the mod anymore, its an early access game that relies on our communication with the devs to squash bugs,improve stability, or implement new features based on feedback. Not to mention the MULTIPLE games that are coming out in the same genre, doing exactly what Dayz promised it would, but are delivering at a faster rate. i'm not talking 7DTD, or Rust, or some other indie company, but SOE (H1Z1), Techland (Dying light) and others. Early access for H1Z1 on steam in a few weeks. All people want is to be heard, and feel like they are listened to. I, for one, will be playing the standalone for a long time, but at the rate at which new games are coming, i hope they can keep up.

Yeah, so whats different from the mod, other than complete lack of features? It took two years to get to this point? Im confused, you guys have made a sh!t ton of money from early access, and apparently hired entire teams for certain aspects, but im still not seeing anything that explains the current point of the game. Theres nothing there. Sure a few new guns, and some character customization, but nothing ONE skilled modder couldn't have done to the MOD. In wayyy less time. How much did you guys make from early access? not to mention a budget from Bohemia. Dont give me the old" its alpha" or "lets see you make a game" bull crap, this is kinda shameful at this point guys. Oh, would Dean Leaving have anything to do with this, or is it just a coincidence that when he announced he ws leaving things ground to a halt?

How about, finish what you started. Opening a new studio is time consuming and expensive, and the game youve been developing for over 2 years is still in Alpha. Yeahhhhhh perfect time to go open your own place.

http://kotaku.com/dayz-lead-developer-is-stepping-down-starting-his-own-1529578531 yeah hes leaving. Was that the plan the whole time, get enough money for his own studio? Says he wasnt planning on this year, but could the critical success of Dayz have made it possible to leave earlier? If this affects development ill be pissed, but i have other games as well, so we will see how this plays out
