maybe this is a good thing.. hardcore gamers will know what is happening and will play DayZ while the amateurs will leave.. and regarding money BI would lose with those players leaving - when the standalone is released and if it is a success, the amateurs will find out about it, the same way they did with the DayZ mod.. so i think there is no need to worry, as long as Rocket & Co follow their dream to make it happen P.S. you are saying that most people don't check forums and then in the same message you ask for a daily progress update.. what for? they won't see it anyway.. I honestly think that the only reason we haven't hear anything from Rocket is because he was busy at gamescom. P.P.S. when you download the mod it says "Alpha Version"

it was meant for those who get confused with all this: engine here, engine there, arma 2, arma 3, arma 2.5.. the Real Virtuality engine for DayZ will have the good from the Arma2 version + new features from the Arma 3 version but it won't be neither of these two it will be DayZ and I kind of think it is even better this way

two words: Real Virtuality.

I like 3rd person because I want to see my character maybe if you could see your character in 3D when opening the inventory...

thanks for the link the girl in pink looks like an infected :lol:

the problem is that some are forgetting that DayZ is unfinished, don't think about what is now, think about what could be I imagine you'd have a hard time ignoring the infected if they were able to run indoors and if they were travelling in hordes I think - give people less bullets :D and more melee options; and then watch them run for their lives, hide and panic each time a zombie spots them :D P.S. if fatigue is introduced - you are fucked :D

I like the idea of people doing some sick shit (like stalk some player, talk in a spooky voice, hack him with the axe then bandage him, give a blood transfusion and then hack him again :D ) and then cry over a dog being killed :D

do you understand the meaning of the word "should"? to those who say BI is making money out of DayZ - I am glad they are! dude that says there are less than one million players - I hope you are not that stupid.

apples and oranges the mod was initially created for the Arma community, those who play Arma - so yeah, it was free! it's not their fault you bought a game for a mod when a new game is released and you have to upgrade your computer do you complain that you had to pay $800+ to play that game while the game is advertised at $60?

and all the free games on the internet are still not free because you have to buy a computer to play.. and if your mom buys you a computer it's still not free because you have to pay for internet.. and if you connect via a free wifi hotspot it's still not free because you have to pay for electricity to run the computer.. fuck DayZ! it's a scam!!!! better go buy the new Shoot at Stuff 3.7: Reloaded (HD Edition) + DLCs

everyone is a game developer / marketing specialist nowadays..

@ datguy :emptycan:

@Arkaeus who told you that you will have to pay for the DayZ mod? according to the interviews the DayZ standalone will have it's own version of the Real Virtuality engine just wait for it to be released as an alpha or whatever and then decide if you want it or not what's the point in arguing over this now when it hasn't been released yet?

if only you were a thinker..

please die, both of you.. pleeeease!

from my experience in testing software, it's always shit at this stage and "somehow" it always works when it's released as a retail version they did not ask for a million players, it just got out of control and now here we are.. and they have to deal with all of those smart ass players who think they know better how it should be done you can't claim that it's no longer an alpha just because you are one million players if you can't deal with the bugs at this stage just do what you did with all the other games - wait for it to be released as a retail version and enjoy if you want to take this unique opportunity of being involved in the creation of this game then accept the fact that it is a hard journey and you have to be patient most of the issues you bitch about are known issues, some of them will not be fixed now because of reasons I won't list here (you can read and watch interviews to find out why some things will not be fixed now), flooding the forum with frustration won't solve anything the fact that you have the same expectations from DayZ now as from games which have been already released won't change the development process, deal with it. regarding criticism - yes we need critique but you should critique mechanics, ideas.. not bitch about bugs

:lol: who said anything about managing people? the fact that you assume you know everything and the way you handle this discussion proves how stupid you are I know exactly what you do, that's why I am calling you an idiot. you know shit about what I do and how I do it soo.. stick to what you do and let others do what they do best I see no point in continuing this discussion I'll leave you fighting over whose wiener is bigger with someone else, big boy..

misstating what I say is your argument? dude.. stick to your management.. I am glad you are nearly a Computer Engineer.. and hope you stay that way

ok, Mr. Configuration Manager.. I am a Software Test Engineer and I can tell you for a fact that you don't know what you're talking about. two "pieces of code" may be good but cause problems when put together "in to the pot", you don't just roll back each time you get a bug you try to find out why it's not working and fix it, you don't start from scratch every time something does not work up front the reason why this is not what your "Industry Standard" says it should be, is that DayZ is not your industry standard game alpha, beta, whatever who cares how you call it and what u think it is? it's in development and we are testing.

do you know anything about software development? i'm so sick and tired of seeing ignorant messages on this forum, it's so hard to read through all this messages to get to those who say something constructive or informative.. if you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything.. you're not helping, you're just annoying

yeah.. whining, bitching and raging like a retard makes a game better and motivates the developers.. sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about..

I agree, you should not be able to simply drink the water from a lake, you may get dysentery or cholera and other nasty diseases.. it's a good idea to have several purification methods: boiling, distillation or using chemicals (Chlorine Dioxide, Iodine, Chlorine, Calcium Hypochlorite and Potassium Permanganate) soo, yeah.. drinking from a lake - no way; drinking from wells - we can have that

say what you want about the future of DayZ but we have 10,000 new players coming in each day! to me, this is impressive! I know it will be an amazing game and I am very excited of being part of the whole DayZ phenomenon ^_^

start with nothing, maybe just some random stuff as in real life: a watch, (stuff you have in your pockets) some matches or a lighter..
