That's actually kind of a good idea. Too bad it probably wouldn't work. Even the "non hyped" people will still buy the game when it's released.

The testing trend seems good. It's also important to note that not all testers are in the same time zone. As per the previous days, at 23:00 the testing server will probably be mostly empty, and chances are it'll stay that way for the weekend (as we see on the 2nd and 3rd). Hopefully next week we'll see some new testing peaks, possibly followed by a release. Maybe. Looking at these trends, I'm predicting a release sometime around thanksgiving. And boy, will I give thanks.

It's just a video, bro. People need to manage their own expectations. That isn't rockets problem. His problem is making a video game. He's got more on his plate to worry about than some people being disappointed. Many people find themselves disappointed by the mod, too. Many people find themselves disappointed by triple A titles like CoD or Battlefield, so I just don't see the point. People get disappointed by things. That's life. And thereby forego every shred of credibility he has? Not likely. I know they might seem dumb sometimes, but they don't just sit around going hurrrr duurrr lets maek a video gaem lol. Besides, Rocket has been on strict media silence for the past month to "manage the release of the Standalone" and suddenly he posts a video for shits and giggles? Again, not likely. He is very much aware of how everything he posts is going to be viciously picked apart and examined by people who are waiting for the game. He's many things, but completely fucking retarded is not one of them. Source?

For those of you who are link challenged, THIS is the video rocket just linked to last night. I just don't think he would do that if the release wasn't actually near. He's said multiple times before now that what they need is less hype. Why would he do something that clearly makes more of it for no good reason? Disclaimer: Not saying it's coming out today. I'm just saying, the release is clearly imminent.

Probably not today. I'd put my money on sometime within a week.

If you were READING, you would realize that nobody actually believes that guy. Way to attack a position that doesn't exist, genius.

Gotta concur with Wayze. Even if it's not on the front page, once the info gets around, it's gonna be a shitstorm of alpha purchases. Hopefully all the haters who lurk on youtube comments will stay the fuck away, though. Speaking of which, Zomboid is on there now, so at least we can debunk the whole Zomboid/DayZ concurrent release.

In this case I'm pretty sure it's totally dependent on when the team is ready to release the game. They keep updating the steam database which tells me that as soon as they have the version ready for public launch, they'll just rename it, send valve the okay, and boom. Released.

Yeah, I get it. Still, it proves nothing. His source was clearly bullcrap anyway. Goo0gle lives again! Haha.

Now that twitter fag is claiming that he used to be poject lead of Arma 3 or something. https://twitter.com/Frozelda I'm calling bullshit. This guy's a fucking liar. Yeah, Matt's not buying it either.

Ehhhh. I'll believe it when I see it. Seems like he's just fishing for followers. 6 pm UK time would mean the game is releasing in an hour and a half. I just don't buy it.

It's been like that, bro.

Uhg. Calm down, you make me need a cigarette.

Something stronger.

Push the button rocket. Fulfill your destiny. Do it. DO it. DO IT.

Heh. Sowwy. Just gotta dispel the bullshit coming from the non-contributors. All I'm saying is, try posting some non-bullshit before you get into the bullshit territory. It builds credibility.

Good night, sweet prince.

Okay, not to be abrasive but... Are you people mentally challenged? Rocket has been repeatedly slammed and slandered for saying things that were even barely hopeful of a release, and then failing to meet those expectations. It happened this time last year. It happened in March. It happened in June. I don't think he's so dumb that he would do something like that again if the release was not truly imminent, as he has learned from these massive PR mistakes and officially changed his stance to "It's done when it's done" for the last six months. This isn't duke nukem, people. There's no need for this level of paranoia. It's just a game, and it will come out. As Orlock so eloquently put it - the only person who gets hurt by the SA not releasing is DEAN, unless you count the misplaced emotions you seem to be investing. It's just a game. Not a fucking conspiracy.

Hey, sometimes the truth hurts. Even if it does mean.... I'm getting a little too excited. I must be one of five members on this forum who hasn't posted this gif until now...

All I can say is, I hope the Standalone has bibs... because you're gonna need one to eat all these words.

If they just break 30 players on the server today I will be happy.

29 people are running the game client, however, only 22-23 are in the server currently. Let's see how things progress. http://steamdb.info/graph/221100/ http://www.game-monitor.com/dayz_GameServer/37.220.18.218:27016/DayZ_Weekly_Multiplayer_Rev._112040__only-.html

Also, it looks like they just hit a new peak. Looks like good news..... Darn, Motorbreath beat me to it.

I also feel fine in terms of available water.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I thought. It was worth a shot anyway.
