so havent checked in here for a while. Whats the current guesstimate for release? im not even sure if its gonna be this year.

i was just camping for a few days and i felt like i played dayz :D

I understood it like they set a timeframe in which they want to release it. They dont have a specific release date but a "release week", so any day in that week. That doesnt mean its out in a week just that they havent decided which day of that week they want to release it. that week could be in 1 month, half a year, next week.

what notes? for me its just too much meaningless content to follow all of it. Just so much redundant talk, i dont have the time to fish out the relevant information.

so whats the recent guesstimate for the release?

I think they are kinda leaving the minecraft model and are going to present a much more polished game and thus take a lot more time to finish it. and i think the aspiration is pretty high.... they always plan to do so much in the future but even the basic platform takes forever. DayZ SA does have to be quite a success to offer all this additional content for free instead of a lot of dlc. and dlc is definetely not the minecraft model. so im a bit sceptical.. like no vehicles until approximately fall. vehicles are a lot of fun thats missing then. and i dont trust rockets estimates about release dates anymore.

so can anyone summarize interesting new information? doesnt seem like there were any

just hearing his voice is comforting... no homo

so is there a live stream from pax east for dayz? the panel starts right now

dont play with my feelings! :/

Im not an arma player so i kinda wonder for what arma was actually designed for? for me it looks like no matter what you want... the arma engine wasnt designed for it so it screws everything up.

so new devblog today? :puppyface:

I didnt follow the latest updates so i just realized now that those items got added in and removed again. and i think more diversity is always good. You probably cant use real brand names and i really dont mind the dev names in game. for me its more immersion breaking to have the same types of food all over again.

how about zombie horses? :D

not a huge fan of q&a's because its a bit like finding a needle in the haystack. Instead of asking about the features at release out of all possible features that will come at some point after release i would prefer it if he just tells and shows us more about what hes actually up to at the moment. but yeah i dont want to be too negative. Its awesome that theres a devblog update to begin with :D

I dont like first person because of this reason: put your index fingers on the sides of your screen. Then test how far you can see with your peripheral vision by extending your arms until your index finger leave your vision. I can see 180° without moving my eyes or head. When i walk around in dayz in first person with my 24" screen its no wonder i feel super blind and miss stuff. Its just very limiting.

So how likely would be a new video tomorrow? Rocket said friday might be devblog day. but you know... rocket also said release is in december. :D :D :D

So i guess no video today either.

hmm i hope there wasnt any disaster today which prevents a new devblog update... Honestly if actual development is always the top priority, we wont see preview videos until the release.

I want to brand some noobs with tattoos. :P and then they have to run around with a big red NOOB across their forehead :D

Why dont you just push back the release to a not defined date in the future, enjoy the holidays and release it when you feel its ready and you have enough time to do it right. What happens when you rush it you can observe with warz. Just relax and dont let warz push you to do crazy stuff that hurt your game. and just communicate it. The more youre holding back, the more stress youre making yourself. Some will be mad but most people will understand and appreciate you being up front with us.

So what he says is basically that the game itself is ready for release and hes just looking for a release platform. It was planned to retail it over steam but it seems like steam needs some time to set it up. thats why he cant announce something because its in steams hands and he cant say how long they will need. So if steam cant make it this month, he has to consider if he wants to delay the release or use another way of releasing it to avoid that. Also bearing in mind what would be the best option, Delay isnt optimal but releasing it another way isnt optimal either. So hes still hoping for a steam release. Although i thought that it should be quite predictable how long it takes to release something on steam...but of course we want to have a stable way to download it and no server chaos etc pp..

well i think its rockets fault for teasing us and announcing that there will be an announcement ASAP. But asap obviously means nothing since he just got on a plane to nz after he said that. and even now when hes supposed to have arrived in NZ we still dont hear shit. I wasnt looking on the devblog and in the forums everyday before he said that there will be an announcement asap.

well if hes flying to newzealand right now, asap could mean in 30 hours because it takes a while from europe to nz

Im actually pretty hyped for a release this month but i just realized that i wont have the chance to play until 11th of January anyway^^ With exams, christmas, holidays.. .i dont have any time to play at all :D
