Uh Oh Rocket Drone Alert. I love how you people lash out at anyone who posts something that conflicts with your own opinion. Yea, most(All?) games have lots of bugs when in Alpha phase. I think we all understand this, but it's a completely different thing to release a game in Alpha and charge money for it. Just because Notch pulled it off doesn't mean someone like Rocket who has proven he's incompetent at fixing and updating his game can do it. You people are such sheep. Rocket is re-releasing the same mod, using the same buggy engine, STILL IN ALPHA MODE, (The same mod that he never updates and has failed to put into a playable state for the last 2 months) and he wants you to pay money for it. Are you people fucking retarded?

Why do people keep saying that a million people are playing this mod. That is complete horseshit. Allegedly a million people have installed the mod at some point since the mod was released to the public, but less than 150k play the mod each day.That means that 850k people played the mod, realized it runs and plays like shit, and stopped playing it.

Since nothing has been changed or fixed for the last few patches. Why does Rocket not just undo what he did to screw up the graphics in the first place?

I don't think Rocket has ever released a patch when he said he would, and for the last 4 or so patches his fixes have failed to change anything. All he ever does is add more bugs to his already buggy mod. I wish someone competent was in charge of DayZ.

Its' BattleEye causing these problems. You know, that program that DOESN'T prevent hacking and only causes performance issues.

Battle Eye is here to protect you.... from the fun you might otherwise experience.

Are we ever going to address the ridiculous spawn conditions of zombies in this game? Today I had a zombie spawn INSIDE MY CHARACTER while I was stealthing around town, it instantly broke my legs and knocked me out. Fortunately I was able to Alt-F4 out and save myself because Rocket hasn't fixed that broken feature on the game yet either. Stop fiddling around with random bullshit and fix the stuff that matters. Your mod is seriously starting to take a dump. If barbed wire is causing artifacts take them out of the game until it's fixed. If people can replenish ammo on their hand guns by breaking down and recombining the magazines then remove that feature from the game. Rocket stop adding half baked features that cause MORE problems and address the broken stuff in your game before DayZ takes even more of a shit than it already has.

These fake "patches" that Rocket keeps releasing are getting horribly tired. This is why I started playing the Lingor Island map that some genius made. You can't alt-F4 out of combat, the FPS is SO much better, the zombies don't sprint at ridiculous speeds and actually run in a straight line... You can enter 90% of the buildings you encounter. I like how Rocket blames all these bugs on the "unforgiving Arma 2 engine" but clearly they are a product of his own lack of modding skill. Do yourself a favor and play the Lingor Island Map, it fixes everything Rocket fucked up.

He's just a random Rocket Fanboy, there's really no part in trying to argue with him. You hurt his ego when you attacked the shoddy game he paid 20 dollars for, and so he couldn't help but lash out and resort to name calling. Typical sheep.

I love how everyone busts out the "Lol Alpha Bro" every time someone calls this mod out on it playing and running like shit, and If I wanted to join the Rocket Development team I wouldn't need a resume or any technical background at all, since they obviously don't have any to speak of themselves.

I can't wait for a patch that actually fixes some of the many problems with this mod. These fake patches that don't actually do anything are getting old fast.

I love the Alpha-Phase crutch that this mod so heavily leans on. If something is broken or running like shit just bust out the "Lol Alpha bro." Love it.

Why not just roll the mod back to a patch where the graphical glitches didn't exist? It's not like anything has actually been fixed or changed in the last three patches.

Everything Rocket does is half-baked so I'm not sure why you're surprised. Just be glad there's a way to tell who's a bandit now.

Another typical Rocket patch. Nothing has actually been fixed. Graphical glitches still present and ammo count just as buggy as ever. This is like the third fake patch we've gotten in a row.

You mean the website that YOU people made? Unless Bohemia Interactive claims DayZ as part of it's own I'm calling bullshit.

You just spit out a load of useless jargin there friend, and if the game is Stand Alone it won't have anything to do with Arma 3, so why would I check out the official website for it. Other than the fact that DayZ isn't mentioned anywhere on any Arma site ever, I can't really glean any information from those pages.

How is this game "confirmed" if none of this information is known? I can't help but feel like Rocket is only doing this in retaliation to WarZ.

Combat D/C will result in ban.

Actually someone is going to do it for him. Argue and insult all you'd like ZedsDeadBaby, Rocket has already stated he's going to implement game changes to reduce the death matching. This has been stated many, many times by the dev team themselves. Short lives are not taken into account. <--- I want a citation for this, moron. http://dayzmod.com/ I can randomly link the front page of this website as well. Did I win this argument? I think the best part of your "citation" is the fact that the Average Life Expectancy statistic ON THE PAGE YOU LINKED isn't even displaying at the moment. Thanks for proving my point.

No' date=' it actually doesn't. This has been stated many, many times by the dev team themselves. Short lives are not taken into account. As for your claim that the other stats are "false," can you provide a citation for that claim? [/quote'] Can you provide a citation for yours?

Average life expectancy is higher now than when I started in May. So, no. Most of all the statistics on the front page of this website are false. You understand that when people click "respawn" and kill themselves so they can change spawn points that factors into the average life span of a survivor right? Most people respawn spam upwards of 10 to 20 times until they get to where they want to be. There are too many variables that make the statistics charts unreliable so there is really no point in quoting them to win an argument.

Personally I don't understand why people support the idea of senseless murder in this mod. Potentially the best part about this mod is the interaction between players. The suspense and thrill that accompanies meeting another person and trying to decide if he's going to kill you or help you. In it's current state the DayZ mod is broken, everyone is forced to be a bandit and that's a result of a few design choices I don't agree with. People are put into a situation where they are forced to shoot first and ask questions later if they want to preserve their character. If you're the kind of person who thinks this game should be a complete death match then you're playing the wrong game, either that or you have no concept of immersion or role playing. I hear a lot of people who support random acts of murder using the word realism. Realism? Under what circumstances would a person ever hide 800 meters away and randomly snipe unarmed survivors in the middle of Electro. Aside from the fact that you're killing a stranger who has never wronged you in any way, it's a waste of ammo and you gain absolutely nothing from it. It sucks, but most gamers these days can't handle a game like this. They don't have the patience or tact to fully enjoy a game like this without ruining it for the rest of us, and so Rocket and his crew are being forced to implement a form of punishment for players like you. A work around for your lack of imagination.

If they played "our own game" then would they really be any "better" than us? If you kill a bandit you're not a bandit. You're a hero. I've killed bandits' date=' am I a hero just like you? [/quote'] No. We can't all be heroes. We need people like you to sit on the curb and clap as I drive by.
