I'm pretty sure it's June. Rocket wouldn't work during his vacation time (remainder of May) without a cause. To me- this means they're in the final push to get an alpha out otherwise he would have went to visit his family this week as he said he had initially planned.

Between having to store all these mats for crafting, food, and other necessities... We better be getting more ways to store things. While I believe we should be able to craft basic attachments, I think players should have to find scopes and more complicated extras. I really haven't seen anyone craft a red dot in their home and I hang around a lot of rifle enthusiasts, as I am a shooter myself.

This is all just apart of the plan. Dean doesn't want everyone buying the game. The delay of news and info will put off some people, which will then buy it later when they hear their friends ranting over it. This way the servers are not decimated on launch day (will happen either way.)

Good stuff. This actually had some more content than some of the long devblogs that kept repeating what had already been said. I'd be happy with these style updates every week because it simply gives an idea of what's being worked on and how it's being handled. Simple, easy. Good job Matt.

Absolutely correct. The inconsistent updates is what's getting on people's nerves. You can keep telling the world," update soon!" and not follow through multiple times. You then can't bombard the community with info, and immediately go dark afterwards without a warning. If rocket can't update us, seeing Matt is shy about talking on the whole process, then someone should just tell us. Hell, tweet it. "No updates for this week." Problem solved.

OP doesn't understand it's difficult to survive in such an event. It's not easy to find 4 SCARs and 17 working cars... And lets not forget an imaginary electrical grid that runs without maintenance. Please understand the majority wants an actual survival game where the fun is in the difficulty to stay alive and build our own society from ashes. The mainstream BS with servers that have max cars and weapons should never make it to SA. The only reason they are in existence is because they use the mass DM appeal to overcome the sheer lack of features to do in the mod. Notice how everyone wants to build houses in origins instead of DM now? More features and activities will trump DM and max cars any day until their novelty wears off.

I have a great system in ARMA 3. Middle mouse raises and/or lowers gun, leaving the other two for your normal functions. Solved, and everyone doesn't look like a threat.

And if you think about it, they're going to be opening up closed testing to a bigger group. It's not like the bigger closed test is going to just be for a week either, and then it goes public. We're probably going to see a July release or possibly September if they encounter some complex bugs.

I wish I could just peace out on a company like this in the middle of the most important project of my life... One that would forever define my career, and the company's... Leaving work unfinished... And not got fired. Instead, they'd work around my personal triumphs and just let me go for a month. ... My corporation complained when I took 2 days off in the middle of a normal work week.

We need to get the guy named anal_fister_of_men on reddit to tell Rocket to hurry up again... apparently, that scares Rocket into doing anything we ask... but who could blame him?

Oh well you just have fun with all the hackers that plagued the mod because it ALLOWED modding and scripting. I hope you were not complaining like the others about this if you're all for it. I can understand why he's not allowing modding for now. The engine has also been reworked and a new skeleton made for the models. Yeah, I'd consider the SA as the main dish and the mod for Arma3 (if ever) an appetizer.

I think Matt is always in the "re-hash what rocket has said" mode whenever in an interview. No offense, but Matt isn't really the man to ask specific questions that haven't been answered yet by rocket.

What I hope we see in said video: 1. "The rocket hump" in game - AKA rocket making love to thrashed pillow as a zombie 2. The new reworked weapons in game and how we can mess with them (customization and condition.) 3. Look at inventory and how items get effected when shot up. 4. Rocket shooting Matt, fireman carrying him to edge of cliff at black lake, then throwing off ledge 5. Zombie slaying

The only time Dean was so tight lipped was because his game was breaking in Dec. When the game was coming together, he began talking... everyday- about hats flying into his ass and player models not showing up. Now Dean went back to being silent and it has me worried. Maybe he is removing derpy hooves canned muffins after the outbreak of anger? Anywho, lets hope all is well.

If zombies path better, actually grab a player or do heavy damage, and detect players at logical values... I think we'd have no choice but to kill them more. I would slay as many as I could if I could sneak up and stab them in the head, or quickly used an off hand melee weapon. Problem is, people don't want to shoot them, for the sale of giving away your position. When zombies act, behave, and provide the threat level they should- we will all have much higher kill counts of them.

Any AKM or SA in 7.62 will be better suited for pvp than any M4 or M16 in 5.56. Just practice with them or keep your ROF on semi in the meantime. Edit- SA iron sights are amazing because they provide a better field of view in front of you. The M16 takes up a lot of space on screen and limits visability- encouraging tunnel vision.

I guess no one knows: in order to win a fight with someone using NVGs, road flares are your best weapon.

A game still should force players to play within its parameters. Night is apart of those parameters. What I would typically say to a post like this is, "tough shit." However, the new weather and lighting effects should really make nights enjoyable for everyone. NVGs are in the game and should have that purpose and rarity that makes them so special. I don't like rain in real life if I were surviving without a permanent shelter.., but I have to adapt and deal with it- which provides a challenge... And players playing this game find fun in a challenge. So, "tough shit." I'm sure the night will be drastically different anyways.

I found 2 trail mix last night and immediately saved those in my backpack.

I say Derpy goes over to reddit and starts a new thread titled "Why I love canned muffins," and see what happens. It would provide great feedback while we wade through this hot fix. Also, please introduce "rocket's baby seals in a can" as well. "Freshly clubbed and delivered to your local supermarket."

Brah- where have you been? We use clubs 'round here.

Was I the only one proceeding on my trip north with mostly trail mix packets? I figured the protein and energy boost would help... Oh well, beans it is!!

Hey, hey... Don't get #rowdy with me sir.

How can you have an opinion of something you've never seen in game? Did you know the items in game are seen in your inventory as "Can (Beans)" and so forth, so technically you don't even see the name you're complaining about until you look at the actual description.

Can the derpy hooves and zlzy soda be removed and the others stay? Seems to be those two over everything else the reddit community is raging over. I picked up all the new items last night instead of old- I'm going to starve at camp now. Can someone deliver some pizza to me- preferably without a name so it doesn't get removed either?
