Fraggle (DayZ)

How does somebody adding my name to something result in me being called an egomaniac. The mind boggles.

For the love of everything holy. I don't know how else to say it. WE (MODS) HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS IMPLEMENTATION! WE DIDN'T ASK FOR IT AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BEING ADDED. How can that be self gratification?

Hi there. This is a free mod for Arma 2. You may also notice that the maps, players, guns and vehicles look like the ones in Arma 2 too. Welcome aboard.

So if people don't follow the forums to know why or how these things were introduced then how would they know that these items were named after forum mods? They wouldn't. There are many legitimate concerns, as there are every time there's a patch but I'll be honest, I'm getting a bit fed up with people saying it's an e-peen or self gratification exercise for the mods when we never asked for such a thing and had nothing to do with it's implementation. I think that may have reflected in some of my posts so for that I appologise but when I see a few guys hard work shat on from a great height with no thanks offered whatsoever then it always rustles my jimmies.

Even in a zombie appocolypse there would still be tins and packets of cheesily named products surely? Would it be better if they were called "Death Juice" or "Man Flakes". No.

Stay on topic. Make a new thread if you want us to explain in depth what it is you're playing and at what stage of development this is at.

Please read the devblog. The SA is a separate project now, what you're playing here is a free mod. Lets try and keep this thread on topic please so that the devs stand a chance of unpicking this. There is now a separate thread for beverage based complaints.

They make it really clear in every interview and progress report but and have also been really clear about the development path of the game. That's why if you buy it early it's chaep as chips. Unfortunately people seem to skim over that and just read the juicy bits. Don't worry though, after WarZ they are VERY aware of of what can happen of you are not upfront about what the customer is buying.

Yup, UK46 is where it's at, you'll need to get Whitelisted first though ;).

I'll only play there if you remove the new range of tinned goods. It's immersion breaking and un-realistic. Hmmmff.

Is it safe to say I should halt progress of the Fraggle monument I was hoping to have placed in the centre of Cherno? Too much?

The mod and the SA are two separate entities.

Congrats on your first post, I look forward to an insightful second effort. If you've been playing since June and not once made a post to tell the devs what you would like to see in upcoming patches then you don't really have a leg to stand on, they're not telepathic.

Well now I'm just really pissed off.

How about making the names cyrillic (or new names) to save some of the time and effort Joey and Elvaron put in to the texturing. It'd be a shame to see all their hard worlk completely shat on with no thanks at all.

Yeh, that's just shady practice right there with that big old 21 page thread.

I'm posting on Reddit and in Skype with their mods too so I'm well aware cheers. Remove the cans, keep them, re-name them. I couldn't give a shit but what I'm finding hard to swallow over there is the sheer mis-information and lack of respect for the devs of the mod, it makes me sick. Without them you/we wouldn't still be playing or receiving any updates at all. Ever since the first mod patch there's a shitstorm every single time, it's traditional. Remember atrifacts, duping tents, LA85 removal... the list is endless.

Most of the players are playing and not complaining here. If they get removed can someone grab a tin of Fraggelo's please, I want to cherish it.

We didn't ask for these brands so there's no e-peen waving going on. It was a community effort that we had nothing to do with. I must say I'm a tad dissapointed though, I already had my next delicious treat planned, you'd have loved it.

If you can't stand one item (Derpy tins) why not designate yourself as Cheif Street Cleaner and spend your time removing as many as you can from Cherno (like a modern Barbera Woodhouse). If you genuinely are unhappy, then make your case like an adult, no need to throw your toys out of the pram. Just tell the devs why you don't like it, it's as easy as that, they're listening.

^^^^^^^

I think after the WarZ Steam fiasco the devs will need to go out of their way to make it very clear what it is people are buying into and that many of the features discussed will be in development. They do mention that in almost every interview but I fear that's not enough and an official announcement or similar will need to be made. I think upon release it's going to be a mixed bag. I honestly think many will be amazed at how much they've achieved in such a short time frame while others will be expecting all of the content included instantly. Having had a run around the map I can honestly say that even small things like the new textures and enterable buildings will make it a much more enjoyable experience than the mod.

All I can advise is that you stick with it!! Although as Orlok said, it's not for every one. It has a very steep learning curve but you need to dust yourself off and try again. It's the fact that it's so hard that makes it all the more satisfying every time you achieve something.

Exactly. Razor hasn't been sitting there texturing tins when he could focus on other efforts. This reminds me of when Rocket used to release updates, every time there was tears and people saying he'd ruined it. The moral of the story is that you can't please everyone.

Maybe try Arma if it's just pure PVP you're after. DayZ is a survival game and PVP is only one element of that.
