Fraggle (DayZ)

Hi, can you use the PM function to sort issues like this instead of compounding the issue by making more off topic posts, thanks. When a post is hidden you're supposed to receive an automatic notification, I think it's having some issues since the hack though. Should be fixed soon. TBH I don't understand your problem. You seem to be hinting at the fact you've been censored. You made a post asking about the Take on Mars release date on a DayZ thread and it got hidden for being off topic. It's the only post you've had hidden on this thread. You don't see other off topic posts being hidden because they are........hidden!

I was being light hearted fella, chill out. You'll get no argument from me however much you want one. I'm pretty sure both of us aired our views at length last week, my views haven't changed.

Why u butthurt? *ignore me I'm just waiting for a game to DL and it's driving me nuts*

Keep those beers on ice for me dude.

From what I've seen it looks like The Dead Linger is going to be bloody awesome. As mentioned above though it's not really competition to DayZ because it's a different experience completely, I'll be playing both. In most genres of game there's 2 or three top dogs that battle it out and many people buy all of them. I'm not even a zombie fan tbh, I just like the open world survival elements of the game. It looks like there's lot's of "survival" games out there or in the works now but most haven't really showed what they're bringing to the party. The Forest is intriguing but it's essentially just a good trailer at this point and Rust just looks like a mod in even worse condition than DayZ was when it was released. There's another one that looked good and had dinosaurs in it but they've gone a bit quiet and the gameplay they showed looked very basic, it was pretty much a tech demo.

I doubt it. It sounds like there will be a clear picture of what they're doing and what they need to do in order to release.

You have one hidden post because it's about Take on Mars asking for the release date. There's a Take on Mars thread for that.

I keep thinking you're American.

So that's 8 then at least.

I can think of 7 right now so it's probably more than that.

I remember you! Welcome back. How's ur parrot?

+ 1 for Bolognese

Oh yes, I forgot that was here to solve world hunger and fix every issue DayZ has ever had. /sarcasm :)

The alpha and Beta periods will be all about balancing the game as well as the bug fixing etc so don't worry too much. There's only so much that they can do before they have to let us at it and see how it plays out. I'd expect the first week or so to be hell tbh as peeps get stuck in and then as the devs start collecting data and player feedback they can start messing with the overall balance of the game. That can't really be done with just one server and a few testers. Edit - before anyone cries at me about balancing the game I just mean tweaking it and getting it to where they want it to be, I don't mean nerfing everything.

Haha, I think some already have. Apparently telling them it'll be done when it's done just makes it worse :/

It's all good. Even the people raging and and hating on the game are only doing so because they want to play it. The worst thing at this point would be if people just didn't give a shit and it seems to me that the interest is still very much there. When I start getting frustrated with the community I go and have a peek at what's going on in other games in their forums. It turns out we don;t have it so bad here. The COD devs got death threats and and some of the worst abuse I've seen written in text because they nerfed a gun by 0.004747 or something. It's all bollocks but at least they're passionate about it i guess :/

Nah, maybe if they had tried to go with the original plan and polish up the mod a bit and release last Xmas. Peeps have moved on now and there'll be no mix ups between the two. It's just a genre like any other genre. Peeps went for WarZ because they tried to cash in on the hype DayZ created and rushed it out. It was a good short term plan but now their names are mud in the gaming industry. Only the last remaining stubborn fanboys are still on board. The devs promised a secure and polished version of DayZ with more content. They failed. End of story. Last time I looked at their forums everyone was just waiting for DayZ. That's why I get pissed of with peeps not wanting to wait for the SA. We all want to play it now but most of us would rather it was done properly.

It'll be ready when it's ready lol. Soz, I really have no idea but if I had to guess I'd say we'll have it by Friday night.

Impulse buying has a lot to answer for. I've done it myself and then within half an hour of booting the game up wondered what the hell I was thinking.

Yup, it's just the way of the world QQ

Yup, a win for the devs, a kick in the nuts for gamers that like games and not being ripped of.

Are you trying to tell me there is a release date now? I can read between the lines you know.

THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE.

This is where it all goes wrong. The clues are in the first post on this thread I think.

No.
