    Decreased interest in the game?

    Waiting for at least 3-4 more patches before I begin to play properly. I only dip in to the game every so often. To be honest I want to see stable servers, Higher client FPS and less clunkiness in regards to the UI. However I know this is only due to it being Alpha so I'm happy to wait.

    "Flawed Concept" - Discuss

    He always said he was a perfectionist and quite frankly comes across as one of those people that will never be happy with what they do. It's not a bad thing, maybe even a good thing he is leaving at the end of the year.

    Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year

    "[–]rocket2gunsRocket [score hidden] 5 minutes ago Yes I can work from home. But I cannot lead a fifty++ person project from home :) However, in a year's time the game will be mostly feature complete and it could be very unfair to whoever leads the development from this point if I am heavily involved, even just at a PR level - because I will eclipse that person." http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ysdow/dean_hall_to_leave_bohemia_and_step_down_as/

    Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year

    Dean on reddit: [–]rocket2gunsRocket: "When people see it's business as usual, I think they will forget pretty quickly. And it's not like I haven't said this before. Prague isn't my home, I've stayed here one and half years longer than I planned so far, in the end I'll have been away for three years when I planned to be away six months. I don't speak czech, for starters! That's not easy and not fun :)" "[–]rocket2gunsRocket: To be fair... the most important element of the story is that I am continuing to work on DayZ for the rest of the year, and more if required. While I have outlined this intention before (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1vulr2/i_am_dean_rocket_hall_creator_of_dayz_and/cevx2m1), it's better that everyone knows my intention now, all the "drama" and panic comments... and then in a week nobody will give a crap and we're back to normal." http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ysdow/dean_hall_to_leave_bohemia_and_step_down_as/

    Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year

    Rocket did say before DayZ's release that he was a perfectionist and that He got the team to literally rework an item/idea three times over till it was 'perfect' (extreme paraphrasing) but he probably thinks that attitude will become a hinderance. Still sad to see him go, especially considering how transparent he made the dev process to the community. What I posted on reddit. Btw guys Dean is talking about this on reddit.

    Optimizations

    I'm guessing we'll be seeing the nvidia/AMD optimisations at the end of March. Hopefully new gfx card drivers help too.

    Give civilian clothes some bonus?

    Buffing civilian clothes is stupid. However when they lower the spawns for the military clothing and make it harder to find, civilian wear will be much more prominent.
  8. What use is money in a lawless/unstructured apocalypse. It's not like Fallout where civilisation has been rebuilding and reintroduced currency for trade. What use is gold or silver? You can't eat or drink it.
  9. This, some of the guys in dayZ/ the internet are really weird...

    How much of the map have you explored?

    I thought I had a good idea of the map after playing the mod for over a year but I started following one of the new roads and got lost in the north without a compass for hours!

    Zombies killing each other?

    I've seen it happen a few times! It's a massive help and means you don't have to do as much work :P

    KOS HQ

    Yep, I mean don't get me wrong I actually like KOS. It keeps you on your toes. However the whiners who complain it's all PvP are probably the ones who run around Balota with full gear. Once at Balota I was running with a Mosin without ammo and ran in to another player. I took a leap of faith to lower my weapon (obviously it was useless without ammo) and to my amazement the other player holstered their M4 and carried on!

    KOS HQ

    I KOS only if there's hostile intent or at military bases. I've had way more friendly random encounter than hostile.

    FPS in Cities

    This game in all fairness is messed up. I've never seen a game that has such performance problems apart from when I played Skyrim on release on the PS3 and got 5 FPS... The only thing that worries me is that they might not start optimising the client side of things till Beta which could be over a year from now.
  15. Not sure how it will work in the final version but in the mod there was group, vehicle, direct and side I believe. Right now it's just direct which is the immediate area. I guess when vehicles are added they'll add a vehicle chat channel.
