First, the DayZ staff is small and they have announced that they are making a standalone game. This is great news, however, this means that more then likely the Arma2 version of DayZ is going to suffer. Why would they put more man hours into a mod for a game that is going to be abolished at some point? This means more then likely the hacking/scripting will remain and continue to grow, the content for the game will continue to decrease, and the bugs will take longer to fix. For me, the addiction that DayZ was once has tapered. The game is getting stale. I pop in the game now and don't have the same drive to play for endless hours. I dare not play on large servers for fear of being teleported to some death arena or have some axe murder teleport behind me in a Ronald MC Donald skin playing "It's raining, its pouring". I had hopes for this mod, but in my eyes the popularity has driven the makers into an "celeb like frenzy", and they are too busy enjoying the perks/attention. You have made a titanic like game, better keep steering it, or it too will sink.

Just keep an eye out, these guys are using scripts, specifically god mode and teleporting, not sure what else.

ever since the first troll remark on a forum, people have been overusing the same fucking "derp derp". Get a new hobby.

No, its going stale for me because there is nothing else to test. That is after all the purpose of alpha? Give us some more stuff to test, I can deal with the failure to fix the bugs/glitches/hacking.

ZdB, While that was a blunt statement, my intentions are meant to be good. I am all for standalone. But like any game in its infancy, people lose interest, the game loses content from lack of large scale feedback, and overall the game will suffer. Over the many weeks, I have seen numerous players quit the game, the number of servers dropping, the interest in the game itself is dropping due to bugs/lack of new content/and hackers. For almost a month now, a mixture of graphics glitches/tents and vehicles not saving/scripters, people just are giving up and moving on(temporarily or permanent). Like Banicks said, the mod version still can be used for the brainstorming ideas, regardless if they are working on a standalone to push out a alpha game to start cashing in on their idea, which they do deserve, but one thing people always forget, we are the consumers and that in the end decides a success of the game. Its a popularity contest and if you don't keep up with it, you'll fall behind. I saw it happen in the last game I followed, Path of Exile.

Speaking of posting garbage, way to post software cycle testing from Wikipedia, maybe try the actual video game development cycle? http://en.wikipedia....ame_development Like you say, "people need to start looking shit up before they post their garbage" Alpha See also: Alpha release Alpha is the stage when key gameplay functionality is implemented, and assets are partially finished.[138] A game in alpha is feature complete, that is, game is playable and contains all the major features.[139] These features may be further revised based on testing and feedback.[138] Additional small, new features may be added, similarly planned, but unimplemented features may be dropped.[139] Programmers focus mainly on finishing the codebase, rather than implementing additions.[137] Alpha occurs eight to ten months before code release.[138] [edit]Code freeze Code freeze is the stage when new code is no longer added to the game and only bugs are being corrected. Code freeze occurs three to four months before code release.[138] [edit]Beta See also: Beta release Beta is feature and asset complete version of the game, when only bugs are being fixed.[137][138] This version contains no bugs that prevent the game from being shippable.[137] No changes are made to the game features, assets, or code. Beta occurs two to three months before code release.[138]

@ Drblodski, So you have absolutely derailed the whole point of this thread. The purpose was that content is not being added and bugs are not being fixed in a timely manner when they were promised by rocket and his staff multiple times in many thread posts about frequent updates and continuous updates for both dayzmod and dayzstandalone. But its adequate, they are at another INSERTNAME-CON event.

This is DayZ, no one is friendly

It is not their job to fix the hacking, it is part of Arma2's engine. During alpha though, they should be adding more content to the game, we are "freely" testing their free mod. The thing people tend to forget is that they don't exist without us. Sure you can spend money and man hours making a game, but a game is nothing without feedback. This is my feedback, the game needs more, and these "frequent updates" we were promised are not happening. We are lucky to get a small minor update once a month.

Beta is usually a pre-release to catch bugs, where no new features are typically added. As my original argument, the game is going stale from lack of content. But obviously, you know how software development works. -Software Engineer

No its not. A game in alpha is feature complete and assets are partially complete. A game in beta is feature and asset complete.

Banicks, While I appreciate the reply, my whole stance is based off of factual comments from the staff: "There will be continued support for DayZMOD alongside DayZ game"

Actually, if you know how to use the editor at all, you can remake this game in a day. The only big thing is the cross server database/inventory

I doubt it, they wouldn't have the man power to do all 3, they will most likely stick their standalone as priority if they have "partners/funders". Its the same thing that happened with Notch(Minecraft), all the popularity and money got to him, so Minecraft took a bit of a hit on the development side for quite a while, until he hired staff to take it over.

This is where you are wrong. A game's success, and growth is a direct correlation to its player base. A game needs all types of players to succeed.

Sorry but you are wrong. Alpha is commonly misunderstood. In the typical design cycle, there is First Playable, which usually means, the game is playable, but not feature complete. Alpha however, is the point where key game-play functionality exists, and core assets are partially finished. A game in alpha is "feature complete". This means that the game is playable and contains all major features. Alpha is the last typical stage where small updates/features are implemented before a code freeze. Now many can argue if the game is "playable" at its current state.

Protip, you can identify a user by his name. Type in chat #beclient players Take screenshot Profit You now have his GUID

I laughed.

indeed DayZ was killed Respawn.

Funny, thats a private hack site, so that means your a member :P

helo in the video... me smells scripter
