No something did happen to you, you spent a ton of time getting to your body usually and your dead hahah :)

Lets hope that it stays normal for all of these EA, and developed sandbox, mmorpg, rpg games have official servers. Anyone pulling away from this, is killing the traditional server setup by devs in NA and followed suit europe. I have seen a game or two already in Development EA without official servers. At-least not populated with people. That's not normal, we need to have support for the games we help fund. But after that comment made by BI, maybe steam EA funding is not a good thing anymore if Dev's feel this way about us.

Hopefully they make it i5 ability or above for most things. Then we can get rid of old dinosaur cpu's and systems. Since new technology comes out, should we be able to retrofit it to a 1930 vehicle? or should we be able to retrofit top end technology for a $45000 vehicle to a $20000 one. There does come a time in our lives to upgrade, and stop being so cheap at life!!!

The game will always be survival first, how you make it happen is up to you. One thing you cant change is the "Social" aspects unless you can filter something in a RP server. If you want the walking dead survival, then you must also realize its 99% pvp based, and 1 % planting food. 99% also including Infected. Human vs Human is also very high making it almost over 80% pvp based tv show. Honestly? KOS, PVP you want to be scared, if someone takes a shot at you they must also realize they can also be shot at from behind. It wont be as easy as it is now. Given that infected are hoarded together and hear the distanced shots it will give your locations away. I doubt you will see too many holding up in the coast to pvp with axes like before. You still also have survival being #1 of this game. I doubt you will see too many servers just planting crops.. It has to be much more then this, and searching town to town for the basics. Otherwise fire up arma 3 and script it because it now is a rinse and repeat sandbox already done. Knowing that someone may have their rifle pointed on you to take your stuff, means a ton to the game. RL fear factor, scares anyone. I hope it stays this way.

I would be willing to put faith back into SA if this was announced, or maybe we shouldn't ask this until beta? Joking aside, i really think this is cool, but reading reports the VR stuff is very lacking and we need better products out there? i dont know, since i dont own one. My major concern would be, how long before i get annoyed by it and start getting headaches. News on that i found out why i was getting so many headaches in SA, dayz out of sync too, but it was mainly the discs in my neck going out of position and i would start to get headaches. Nerve being pinched. Sorry off topic.

when you buy a car its not standard first? then pay to have it upgraded? Here you have to pay like 1000 to have a automatic. Guess we are being ripped off, but your right everyone upgrades to automatic. I learned the hard way 1.5 ton truck, on 5 gear standard. Heavy truck, with a very old setup. I believe it was a 350 engine, GM approx 60's and man i learned it well. I think that is why i am a decent driver after 30 years because my father forced me to drive him around in the big truck. Ugly as sin, but it was a decent truck to drive, and very hard to control. Good learning for someone so young as i was. This was about 30 years ago now. I was about 15, and when i turned 16 i was forced to get my license with it. Of coarse they made me drive it on a huge hill. I ended up spilling his coffee onto his lap. Oh was he pissed off :) I still got my license though........ Scored well he said, and i apologized till i was blue in the face :)

standard is the default vehicle in North America, you actually have to pay to have it upgraded to automatic. I believe most companies charge 1000.00 for that in Canada. So i am not sure what Texas sells their vehicles for, or what is standard options there. Most vehicles are standard, we choose to be automatic. We do forget this. What am i talking about, in Texas you drive horses :) jking

shifting should be done by arrow keys. Has this changed any different? q and e just doesn't seem correct to me. I know its a WIP but it should be moved to the arrow keys. R for reverse, and F for forward. also you should be even able to use a steering wheel if you have that setup. I haven't even tried to remap those steering wheels yet.

I am not sure why people always think that mods are employee's of gaming companies?? Most times its an unpaid position. Your opinions are usually your own, and sometimes people take it to heart and believe your words are the companies word. This is one of the reasons i do not care to mod forums. Its a hard job, when your attacked for every word you speak. I just dont get it, i guess :(

Well, we wanted the dev team to start giving us more information where the game is being directed. We know we had major set backs not minor. 1. Game engine, render. Game itself moving to make it stable enough to experimental. 2. Website hacked, moved to BI. (Error top of the message board forums takes you to the BI forums) <---- just saw that tonight. 3. new setup of forums, and support. This was enough to set back any team. I hope to see more updates, info from the devs over the next months about the progression. That is all we can ask for now, since development will take awhile yet. Yes i am frustrated as much as the rest of you, but most of it was because of 1 to 3 and lack of information. Really how much more information, could the Dev team tell us? it was said, but there wasn't enough information to give us. Thanks everyone, and especially Mr. Hicks for his video comparison. Lets hope for the best in the next months :) If you could continue giving us some tid bits of information that would help the community. We do not need a ton, just point form break downs so we know the direction too.

i just wish i was a kiddie again :) I always understood our money was to help fund and provide support during its early alpha stages. Otherwise i could have waited until beta or release, since my money is not really needed to help fund the project. you forum people need to stop spreading rumors :) Hicks refund please? and ill come back and pay the higher price when its completed :) hehe I need to buy new pens, since i moved my office.

For all those that forget. Right or wrong, you still agree to this statement. WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING.

OH you kiss ass!! :)

Looks really good Brian. Keep up the good work, i am sure everything should start to fit in place nicely. I did not find anything wrong with the video, explaining the comparison. I think people expect you to stand on your tip toes and make a u tube stream video like a teenager. Thanks for bringing this to the community it shows us the improvements to expect and more soon enough.

if your getting 5fps then you need to fix something with your computer. Either upgrade it or look at getting some computer assistance from someone who knows how to tweak your system.

This is why hunting down supplies, raiding etc... is important. Barrel hunting, killing off people to steal wares you will have to do sometime over you "petty existence" Otherwise you join a server and all of the barrels etc.. will be owned by 1 hoarder.

YES!!! you said it, i have never seen mosquito s at the beginning of march before ever in my 46 year life. What gives? I know we had tons of good weather in Canada, but the US get them too?

2 weeks of moving my office, retail store to storage pretty much thrown in 20 foot long :( then back to the house where i have a 26 foot den i turned into my office.... i r getting shit done too :(

See i would go all nuts shooting. Death and to the waves, i say!!!! LOL grimy rick......

Currently it is best to keep using the old UI. The new one was a placeholder, a programmers view. So i recommend sticking to the old one arduras, if that's what your asking.

Oh yeah, that new ui sucked for me too. I had to return back to the old one months ago. The prototype would not click links right, off to the god knows where location. It was a mess for me to use. Haven't tried it since either.

is the new ui even finished yet ?

I dont believe this will be going to stable, i think its exp only patch first. Sounds of it, once the tracking software is fixed. This way bugs can be submitted at the same time.

Sad part emu, your trying to debug a old patch :( without bug reports nothing is useful.

Hope that helps, the direction or WIP report on what you seek. Edit= then maybe you can take some of that code and shape what is lacking.
