Great to hear, thanks for all your hard work :D

Hi Smoss, Firstly, I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to address this thread, I'm also honestly amazed! Other forums I've been on hardly ever seem to attract the attention of the developers, so thanks again. I'm also glad to see that, contrary to my previous impression, bug fixing is continuous throughout the development process, I guess it's just bad luck that the bugs I have been experiencing haven't quite been cracked yet, making it appear as if bug fixing wasn't happening, my bad, misconception gone :) And yes, I died upstairs in the ATC and camo building. Thanks again, and keep up the great work! Dayz is one of my favourite games I've ever played, guess I'll just have to wait a bit till it's perfect, at which point it might well be the best game out there :D

If you've made 1,4 K posts, you know by know that all caps gives the impression you're shouting, and will make you seem unreasonable. If you wanted to emphasise you argument you could have used bold, or underlined, or a different colour or whatever. You're trying to put words in my mouth, I am not stating that it should be a priority. I have also noticed you completely dodging helf of my arguments, and instead just saying I'm wrong..

You just went into an all caps rage, and clearly contradicted your own argument within the same post, (read my last post on page 1) you then made outrages statements against me just for having my own opinion. If that's not unreasonable, what is?

IMO opinions are always valid, the statements can be misguided, but that doesn't mean that person should be denied the right to have an opinion.

That's not fair and you know it, I don't understand why some people can't have a disagreement with someone without become annoyed and unreasonable, it's a difference of opinion we're having dude, chill. You're the one getting "uppity", I started this thread politely suggesting that bugs could be focused on, I'm not the one giving bad reviews, I started this thread with the words "I love this game, it's one of my favourite games", I'm not bitching I'm trying to give constructive criticism. Alpha is primarily for adding content yes, but they can bug fix too, You said bug fixing isn't for beta and then right under it you say that I should stop whining because they've been fixing bugs in beta? If you're saying a should stop playing the game because I don't find it enjoyable (which I mostly do) then maybe you should stop coming on this thread if you're unable to be reasonable.

I disagree, if we have purchased something from the company, we are consumers. The reason those warning are there is so that people know what they're paying for and to not go crazy and demand refunds, and to ask the testers to report bugs that they find, but they're not getting fixed! We've payed to be part of the development process, but if the devs wont fix anything that the community is reporting, what influence do we have? What those warning messages are not there for is to invalidate anyone trying to give constructive criticism, and politely asking for the bug fixes that it was implied we would get. Read those reviews, the first page has dozens of reviews from genuinely angry/disappointed people who can't play the game because it's to buggy.

Prison architect have done this and they're doing well.

And what use is reporting the bugs if they simply won't fix them? I'm not saying the devs must cater to our needs, but if they listen to people asking for bug fixes and deliver it's going to please the customers and a happy player base will only be beneficial to the company. I don't see why it would hurt do just push upcoming features back a bit, and just have the next update or two making a dent in the growing pile of infuriating bugs it this game

It's not like I'm talking out tiny details like jumping fences, I'm talking about numerous full on deaths, being experienced by many people. Any "fucktards" or not, their opinion is still relevant, if people have supported development by buying the game they should at least have their opinion heard. Honestly, check the steam page, all those reviews are going to be scaring off potential testers.

I've read the latest status report, and I at least respect that they've reverted the loot system back again while they work on it. My opinion is that if they want people to test the game, they've got to make the experience not frustrating, because people wont do it, people will (and have) become sick of bugs and the company has lost it's testers. And even those that stay playing, like myself are hindered in testing by the bugs, I can't test vehicles if I keep being killed by bugs before I find any..

Deaths 1,2,3 and 5 are all repeatable (deaths 1 and 2 must be repeatable because it happened twice) 7 is also repeatable (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224149-zombie-keep-one-shooting-my-ass/) Dying more from bugs than players/diseases/whatever is what I would call pretty close to game breaking for many people. Saying "someone dies" implies that I've just died once and come here to vent, these are issues being experienced by many, many people. If I were a developer, I would read the countless steam reviews asking for bug fixes, from a business standpoint, a company should aim to keep their consumers happy, otherwise they're going to lose sales. Yeah, sure, it's in early access, but many testers have lost faith that these bugs are going to be fixed, and are telling people to steer clear of the game.

First, I love this game, I would even say it's one of my favourite games, but please Bohemia, please focus on bug fixing for the next few updates. More often than not I die from a bug than a player. Here are my last 7 deaths: 1: Fully geared, in ATC and just died, no gunshot, friend heard no gunshot, nobody up there, all gear was still pristine. 2: VERY geared, Ammo boxes, smersh backpack + vest, the lot. The same thing again and I just died in the camo building in the very northern abandoned military base. No gunshot, just blackscreen. 3: Somebody lightly knocked my truck with their truck, both died. 4: This was a firefight, fair enough. 5: Fully geared, killed by a hacker in Cherno, explosions everywhere, before landmines. Wasn't near a gas station. Admin confirmed over global channel that it was a hacker. 6: someone shot me, fair enough 7: Well geared, one shot by a zombie, was wearing a helmet and was healthy, zombie comes up to me and hits me in the head and I die immediately, then did the same to my friend. If you look on the reviews on Dayz's steam page, about 14/15 say not recommend and talk about bugs. Things like a new loot economy is cool, but IMHO most people really just want the game to be enjoyable, and not have their experience constantly disrupted by bugs. What does everybody else think about the next few updates solely focusing on bugs? I think it's Space Engineers one of my other favourite games (or maybe it's prison architect I'm thinking of) that will do a couple updates with new content, then do a couple for bugs, and so on.
