Well we can hope :D Yet release seems like a long time I think they probably would work on it during beta.

This is exactly the kind of comment that I did not want. It is unhelpful and a waste of my time. I am well aware of it being an alpha and a n open world horror game with infected humans. So when will there be a decent amount of infected humans? That was my question if you do not know or don't have any educated guess then spare both of us from your useless comments.

Hi I bought the standalone the day it was released (a mistake in my opinion but that is not my point) and I haven't played it at all as the game lacks alot. I played the mod a bit on and off. My biggest issue with this game is the lack of zombies when will the zombie count be up to that of the mods (or how the mod was when it was released two years ago). Right now it is a zombie game with no zombies lol and has been so for a very long time... oh and I know they are infected and not zombies so spare me of that comment :D. Basically my question is when will the zombie count be so high that you see so many zombies in big cities that you actually have to consider whether going in is worth it and when you go in you have to go low to avoid aggroing the entire city? Does anyone have an ETA on this? or when do you expect it?

Well he leaves with a big sack of money... This is why early access is a flawed concept, people initially think that it is the same as a preorder whilst in reality it isn't. I am not surprised I would do the same thing he is rich now and might as well leave and do whatever he wants. Bohemia will take care of the game, however be prepared for a kids friendly version of DayZ. It is a very douchebag move from Rocket (I repeat: I probably would have done the same with that money). Now come Rocket fans and rain hellfire on me for saying that....

You are absolutely right... The issues that were present in the mod are also present here, HOWEVER the standalone can develop far more than the mod could, so potentially by 6 months time this game will be fun to play. Yes a game can stay in alpha for a very long time, especially since rocket for some odd reason has a very small team working on this game. A big company should have developed this, then it would have gotten out a lot quicker. I bought it because I know it will be fun to play this game one day, but right now it is just a buggy mess as I expected :) I agree with you on the fact that development is going on very slowly with this game.... I am also not happy with the engine they use, the whole feel is like Arma 2 and that won't change, at least I doubt it is possible. This game will one day be good, but somehow I feel like it could have gotten so much better.

Spot on sir spot on!

Now see this is bullshit. If you want to play like that then do so, but you have no right to decide how others should play. I hate nighttime, not because it is challenging, but seeing a dark monitor defeats the fun for me it is simply unfun and results in me cranking up the gamma like 95% of other players who play in nighttime... I always played the mod during daytime and intend to do so in the SA too. If I want to play on daytime servers then I should have the right to do this.... I want to see what the artists designed not a pitch black monitor....

Patch notes should be shown in steam with steam updates it is far easier for everyone :) (Side point: Also my steam does not seem to update DayZ maybe it has and I haven't been aware of it, but I certainly can't join any games now.) Patch notes should be both present on the forums and on Steam with every update.

Oh well thanks. I did not know, mainly because I haven't been on the forums since the standalone got announced. My interest in the mod fell framatically after this whole issue with the hackers.

Im wondering will they use the Arma 3 engine or Arma 2? Because visually I find the Arma 2 engine to be very unattractive but the Arma 3 engine is very beutiful. Also with nicer animations, ligting, day/night cycles and distant rendering. It would be a huge drawback if they used the Arma 2 engine. Now I know that they said that they can take elements out of the Arma 3 engine and add it to the current one however that still means the the majority of the game will be on Arma 2 engine.

Paragraphs are overrated

Yea tell him to L2 PC xD. On the serious side. I don't know if it works on a mac. However if you are a gamer then PC is the way to go macs are not designed for gaming. Pass this on to him if he doesn't already know.

If the hacking continues I expect Rocket to pay me for trying his game. If the hacking is reduced to a minimal level then I would gladly pay 40 euros for a standalone game like DayZ

I don't mind the patch being late but the communication needs to be in place. I haven't heard the devs say anything about the upcoming essential patch. As of now DayZ is unplayable due to the graphical glitch. If the developers could just say that "We are working on it" "Going to release it soon" or something it would be nice :) Has anyone heard anything?

Rocket still insists on working on it alone thats why it takes forever... When is he going to let more people work on the code? Reality is if he won't anytime soon then Dayz will die when Warz comes out which I don't hope.
