xX_fr0st-w0lf_Xx (DayZ)

Turning a blind eye to the faults is never a good thing to do, and the zombies should have been completed by now after 1.5 years in development BUT... it is an alpha and we can only expect so much. Most people here are not accepting the faults but rather that it's in alpha. So it is kind of different.

is this real life or am I dreaming these words

eh, I just hope it gets fixed sooner or later. Time is not an issue to me personally. and for the record we are in q2

4 hours would be best

Please correct if I'm wrong, people here want to remove the possibility of playing dayz with 3rd party mics

Dayz may not (and probrably is not) all about the cash. We know the history, we know how we got here. However how much of the 40 million dollars made for this game will be reinvested in dayz? 50%, 35%, 15%. If the company can keep the consumers happy while spending the least amount of funds then it is expected that they do that. However, everyone here may be right, BIS is not about the money after all, and in that case we will see them investing a much greater percentage of the profits made by dayz. And if that is true, then you can expect the best zombie MMO ever.

Jesus, I can't say how wrong you are in that post. 30$ for an alpha allowed them to make massive revenue before releasing a stable working product. They made millions doing this way. If they would have released it full price for an Alpha the sales would be less then half, guaranteed in addition to be frowned on as the only company to charge full price for an alpha , and if they would have just released the full game in a few years at full price, then sales would be even less because competition and the lose of interest would eat away at their sales. Not to mention people's expectations would be much higher. In doing this amazing kickstarter they were able to assure themselves that profits were made regardless of the development of dayz. They are allowed to develop at their own pace regardless of pressure. Also, they will refrain from spending to much of the revenue made to speed up developments for one simple reason; most of the people who were going to purchase dayz, already did. Why invest more then they have to in a project that will no longer reel in major profits? Less money in development + slower progress = more profits Everyone must remember, that BIS is nothing but a company. While they do their very best to make their consumers happy, their primary goal is to make money. tl:dr 1) Releasing alpha at 30$ was the only way to make their maximum revenue (unless dayz suddenly became 10x better and the market grew exponentially) 2) Most of the money made of the early access will not be reinvested into the creation of dayz. Now you may say I do not have any knowledge in videogame creation, and your right about that; however, if there is something i do know, is the way companies work to maximize profits

Asking if the Alpha should have been pushed back a little bit when 3 months in we still do not have half decent zeds that can even remotely do what they are supposed to do is a valid question in my books.

Bad wording, but valid points. All info should be in one location, whether it be fourms, twitter or yoloswag#urmom.com it doesn't matter. The fact that this has to be reminded by the community daily is mind-boggling.

1) No where do I see OP stating the game is unplayable 2) No where is the OP bashing the game and or the decision. 3) No where is the OP complaining about his purchase He asked a valid question. I swear these fanboys are unreal at the moment.

Opened a door once, god i still have nightmares

I never forget early Namalsk on the dayz mod where food was impossible to come by. I was rolling with this guy for about an hour and hadn't been able to find a tin of food. We wandered into a house both starving and noticed a perfect can of beans on the floor. He asked me "mind if i take them"? I told him I need it just as much as he did. He went into the other room and I could here him reloading his assault rifle, I hid and did the same for my assault rifle. We broke out into a firefight. He killed me but I broke his legs and with no morphine paired with 5 Zeds running up to him I knew he was a gonner. He died maybe 90 seconds after me. We then both apologized on side chat, so no hard feelings.

Good god paradox games, Remember watching the stream and saying yea it is not to hard to play ck2, let me jump into it. Within 18 months, my first born son was killed by uncle, my wife tried to poison me, 2 nephews tried to split my country in half and I was being invaded by my neighbor.

Side chat was amazing, made it so much funner. Forget the walkie talkie, if i want to talk to a friend I'm going to skype him anyway.

Yes and no. IYes: -Capitalized on the hype from the mod (or what was left of it) - beat any major competition (H1Z1) No: Extremely unfinished As a producer the early release was the best choice, as a consumer it would have been a good wait.

Not far off.

almost as bad as making the most detailed compass ever seen and not having working zombies in a zombie MMO :)

They won't. Neither party will.

Calm down it is alpha, and every game has cheating. Also don't blame the game it is run on highly scriptable engine so it is not its fault if nothing can be done. Don't forget it is alpha. (lol so much for hackers being gone in SA) (Also double lol if you cannot see sarcasm in first 3 lines)

Okay, while I currently think very little progress is done and that the underlining problem (with the engine) is nearly unsolvable, I cannot agree with your statement. It's an alpha, is an okay answer for the lack of guns cars, buildings and the presence of mind boggling major bugs. It's an alpha, is not an okay answer for the lack of progress and the pitiful engine that is currently being used.

No its not and hopefully never will be in the armaverse

Everything SA was, is and will be is neatly stated in one simple sentence.

Let us take a moment of silence and remember those who were lost to doors in Dayzmod. For those who do not know. Door were the major threat in the dayz mod for a long time. many rebel organisations such as the "Liberation of doors in Chernarus" (LDC) fought many battles against doors of all shapes and sizes. Thousands were killed be it men women and children. The doors showed no mercy. Dying of a leg cramp is nothing compared to the struggles that existed with doors. Count yourself lucky

I truly admire your take on the game. It would make me go absolutely crazy if I tried doing that.
