I had wondered if Rocket found any friendly advice from people who have already programmed zombies in the past. DayZ likely has fans 'erwhere.

Another "Rocket" themed song, this one with an apocalyptic theme. http://youtu.be/5zWDa9NT88E Rocket saves. I am very much looking forward to the end of all speculation and the dawn of a new era on DayZ forum. I don't think we will see another "state of the alpher" address like this until it's happened.

You're wrong in my case KoS. Don't back him up just because he is a "bandit" (I'm using the term loosely here). There has been more substance, character, and entertainment value to your "story" threads (including video) and English is not your first language. That's the core of my original point and I stand by it. Also, Junior doesn't like constructive criticism. Edit: Don't post an entire thread if you expect to have every comment be positive.

To be involved with the Alpha. That would be neat.... If we have chainsaws, I must assume we will be seeing dismemberment/beheading?

*yawn* Likewise ignored Potsy. Good luck with all that "what-have-ya."

I put this in the "just saw Rocket" thread but I believe I can rightly post this at least here as well. Transcript from the Dev meeting Rocket called on Friday:

Alpher is as Alpher does. Most of us would gleefully pay to be playing the -30 player Version of the SA. I like the 50 player number to start. With an eye for the average server to eventually handle twice that long before there are problems. I would like equal performance across the map as well but I expect that is a complicated matter if you're talking about rendering cities full of EVERYTHING. I was REALLY hoping for not being hit through walls by zombies. All in all I'm trying to keep expectations low for the initial release and hope I can contribute something to make it better along the way. It's hard not to daydream of a shiny SA version and so much Chernarus+ to explore!

Transcript from Rockets Dev meeting Friday night:

AND from your "incompetent" thread Don't call me a liar unless you are 100% Super similar endings are super similar.

Somehow you've mistaken rising bile for tears and apparently you like the taste of bile. Here you go Skippy: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/106909-dayz-stories/ Don't say I never gave you anything. Edit: Tales ending in gun fire are one thing. Tales written with the same closing line? F-

The thing I dislike about forum noobs is there inability to search out the topic they want to discuss rather than create a new post. Of course they post stupid pointless shit or act like what they are doing in game has never been done but the ones that stick with the game find their niche here and settle into the forum where they belong.

"My gun was louder than he was." You've ended similar 2 posts with something like this in row. You need to search for the ancient "DayZ stories" thread and put your posts there. You gutless bandit swine.

I see you quit smoking. Smart choice. You'll survive longer. The grown-up in me is hoping for release in the next 2 weeks. The child in me wants it on Tuesday. :P

Trying to contain my excitement is difficult at best. I really hope the Alpher release is as close as I think it is.....

....and I want S.T.A.R.S. uniforms from Resident Evil. Do we want DayZ full of homage?

I do not think that it will likely be the same in that respect personally. I hope not for those of you with the shinier machines. I was only saying how games are often tailored to the median power requirements and display definitions that the public use.

My rig is fairly outdated but I have confidence that I will run a decent looking version of the SA (for my tastes). It apparently ran the Mod a lot better than people who had faster machines for some odd reason. I wouldn't be surprised if a slightly older mid range rig like mine has less inherent problems than a higher end rig due to the game being optimized for a certain PC power "sweet spot". It makes sense to focus on making it run smoother for the vast majority and fine tune the higher res crowd later.

So much glorious information from our illustrious leader. It's like being bathed in a torrential downpour after crawling through the desert.... /insert Nick Cage MOAR meme I greedily accept these cookies. Edit: I'm amazed at some of the questions he humors. He is in no way expected to give game dev 101 to all of reddit.... patience of a saint I tell you, patience of a saint.

*whimper* Yes Mr. Inception. I will try to steer clear of the dark side of the farce.

I'm hoping that your avatar doesn't end up resembling this before release.

Dude, no. Shhh.

Thank you. "We think we need a minimum of 15 FPS will 50 players, 2000 zombies, and 25000 loot items." Yes, please. Good starting point.

A bit of a wrap in the testes but if you look at everything he said it's a relatively short list of albeit larger sized bugs.

Is it possible to clear an entire Chernarus with a massive hoarde of survivors/heroes? Easter egg end game. All major cities Zed clear for specific time length cues choppers for mass evacuation of uninfected in Chernarus. New map unlocks. :P

I was thinking the same thing. A final test would be closer to 100 ppl, no?
