RAZOR49, you know very well that VAC won't stop any scripting. Everyone here was told with 'the new engine' things would be different and client-side scripting would be almost no issue anymore as the server took over almost all of the decisions. And now, after more then one year when i bought the SA, it turns out i'm still using the old engine with some 'polish' on it? What is the official word on this? After two days of excitement I am completely dissapointed.

I wonder what the official word is on this. For me it is extremely dissapointing. I was so positive about this alpha and tought they deserved the time they took for the alpha to go live as they rewritten large parts of the engine, but now everything turns out to be total crap that has just been made up? Nothing server-side at all? Sounds to me they tried it but failed. I assume the next thing that will happen is mass cheaters again. This is what ruined the DayZ mod 1,5 years ago.

Sounds great to me, but I bet it will be more something like this: statement they are working very hard on the modstatement they are adding 'some features'statement that it's done when it's done.a few pictures of the inventory screen

And the amount of rocket's development news hasn't changed either, which is my point.

That's really all you got? Once critisim joins this thread, the mods and people that love the way things go now spam critisism away by just flooding this thread with pure bollox and shit no one really bothers. Ignore and avoid argueing, just spam the entire discussion death until another pro-rocket person joins the topic and states how beautifull things are in the upcoming standalone.

Geez... After my banter last week stating Rocket doesn't give a shit about the community yet still some people convinced me that Rocket would 'mention' something this week. Now i am here again, and as expected: nothing. Some guy above me mentioned November 2013, i say i'd go for 2014 and this crappy communication to their so called 'respected community' will stay until that date.

I know people don't like my banter but someone has to do it. I ain't a troll. Don't just post this stuff without arguments. My opinion is: BI doesn't give a shit about what is happening, nor does Rocket. I hope he is reading this but i doubt it.

"Well you completely dodged my other points but I guess that's how peeps like you roll"... Ofcourse. Where did you decided i think this wil be a massive fail? Read everything i said back and try again. All i'm saying is 'Rocket get over with it and not only show some simple stuff, give us the Alpha". It will be released as Alpha so fuck the bugs. We are used to bugs. I play DayZ since the beginning of 1.7 and all i ever saw was bugs. If you will release it in alpha, why not simply release it and just give us a go? And, if this SA will ship before christmas, no way you will get 2,4% shit that you can find in any supermarket, i will send you a mixture of top quality belguim premium beer and i know you will defenately like it.

You read the site again: 1,73M Players. 1,73M Players. How does that sound to you?

Is that all you got?

Whatever you say, you truely cannot ever give an objective judgement as a forum mod. "The SA was only announced 11 months ago, how is that even possible?" I say it should been released 1 year ago, you say the SA was announced 11 months ago, is that all you got? My point you obviously dont get is that it is taking way too long. If i would say it would be 11 months too long, would you correct me saying the SA was announced just 11 months, 3 days and 2,30 seconds? Don't act that way, you know exactly what i mean. My main thing is communication towards the community, not the mods or other devs. Yes, for this SA its getting real late and i'm 100% asure that i'm speaking for at least 80% of your so called 1,8M players you mention on your website. 1.8M players? You'd say i'd be lying about this but open dayzmod.com and go checkit out yourself. The amount of players have dropped dramatically and whatever you will turn against me, face it, it's true. And be happy just 10% of your community is still playing thanks to the opendayz.net lads. If it wasn't for them, almost no one would be playing this mod anymore. Say what you want and dream the dream you want but face it, your 1,8M players ad on the main page is literally a hilarious joke. I'd say maybe 100K people are still playing it, the amount dropped by 97/98% because of hackers that fucked up the game entirely. Yes, many players would still play if there would be any reason to play it: progression. As far as i see it, and probably many with me, no progression is beeing made as we literally dont hear shit from the dev team, no more then "we are working on it". Fraggle, i will personally send you a massive crate of beer if this SA will ship on Steam before christmas 2013. If it doesn't, send me one. If it does, PM me your personal address and i will send you 24 bottles of exclusive beer in a crate no matter where you live. Let's see who is right. The only thing that is certainally not right is the amount of players that are playing dayz on your website. It's not just wrong, it's a total scam. I'm not blaming you or any of the other mod guys on this forum whatsoever. It's BI in general. If they are really close to the beta they should publically announce something at least, at least for all the DayZ players that have been playing this mod for the past 2 years.

"either you have genuinely missed any info Dean has posted" Dean posted what? Dean posted another (no.415 probably) post saying "we are working on it, we make progress bladiebla". Call it what you want but my point is that there is literally no communication thowards his so called 'respected community' and as i see it, no organisation aswell. Why is it so hard to point out date the standalone will arrive? I do understand that with development comes bugs, but DayZ is now in the hands of BI so bugs should be less an issue. Face it. This game had to ship one year ago when everyone was still playing it. Now literally no one really cares about it anymore and the only reason it is still beeing played by a small amount of people is that there are a few dedicated modders around that keep on developing the mod and keep it alive. If these people wheren't around, DayZ would be as populair as Kim Jung Il. I do understand that it takes time but you can't take forever, and if you do take a lot of time, at least show the community something about the progress. If you can't show any progress or don't care about informing the community about it you have probably nothing to show/talk about at all. Rocket and BI should send the opendayz.net lads some flowers for keeping this game alive. Opendayz.net is DayZ's pacemaker. If those people wheren't around, DayZ would be laying down in a dark corner, totally forgotten what it ever was.

Don't rush? I just hope Rocket doesn't read this, it might delay the standalone for another 3 decades.

I remember the days when all servers where occupied 50/50, the good old days.... DayZ right now, is as dead as a person that just got ran over by a 600 tons cargo train in the middle of a hot desert surrounded by Jihad warriors. How can people still support this disrespecting clown that doen't give a shit about his supporting community? All the community asks is just every now and then some information about the progress and all we get is "We are working on it", that's it. For almost year.... Biggest problem of all is that this community is getting smaller and smaller and the hype we had one year ago is completly gone. No one gives a shit about DayZ anymore and the people that do give a shit are tired of this endless list of bugs, superannoying zombies, lack of information and almost no progress. For me there is just one reason why there is almost no information: there is simply no progress. If they would make progress then this game would have been released half a year ago and it makes sense: how can you develop a game when all you do is travelling? If DayZ would be once of BI's biggest names they would certainly post more info but no... nothing from BI, almost nothing from Rocket himself.

Hi! Since the standalone was delayed again we reinstalled our Taviana DayZ server! It now has: - illuminated cities during nights - extra weapons added - dynamic crash sites - strip vehicle parts - Extra added spawnlocations - Three 'safe-zones' on the map, guarded by AI soldiers :) And much more, on a very fast co located private server in Amsterdam! Search for mgftw.com and you will find our server. The database pretty much clean! Happy hunting! Regds, Joris
