For people who don't want to go to reddit here are some of rocket's posts http://www.reddit.com/user/rocket2guns

http://www.reddit.com/user/rocket2guns Basically guys look at all his comments, wealth of info, just keep refreshing that page!

''Teased, Tormented, abused...come on Rocket and Co. Give us a clue... by vonrumblein dayz [–]rocket2guns [score hidden] 5 minutes agoServer size will be dictated by the server itself. High quality servers will be able to run more players. The servers are very CPU intensive, but the bandwidth requires are greatly reduced compared to ArmA2. I would go so far to say bandwidth, and even ping to an extent, are not really that important any more. But server CPU is. We are benchmarking with what we believe is a typical ArmA2 dedicated server. We are aiming for 50 players for the initial release, scaling to the design limit of 150 (we feel more than that does not work for Chernarus). '' Looks like we were both right Salamander :P

Dean is being very open on Reddit, he's answering all the questions I had basically.

Yeah I'm just worried that with most of the buildings being enterable, there'll be too much loot for 30 players, however they'll probably just counter that with greater loot scarcity. Off post topic Regarding that Rocket post, I just posted, that is quite encouraging, hopefully It will be sorted soon!

I'm pretty sure Rocket said during Gamescom that they were aiming for a 150 players server, but I'm starting to think that may be a full release target. off post topic http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1q7bcs/teased_tormented_abusedcome_on_rocket_and_co_give/cd9z0pm '[–]rocket2gunsRocket [score hidden] 1 second ago People will read into anything. And actually, I'm not saying it will definitely be weeks. Today it almost looked like we had reached the performance target, but the bug we fixed had a more subtle bug hiding behind it.''

I understand that, I'm talking about how difficult performance issues can be in general. Wait who is even talking about the mod? I'm talking about the standalone which will be hosting servers up to 150 players, then added to the fact that their test server is 150 players? I thought Rocket had mentioned that number multiple times now?

Nah I thought that the performance issues wouldn't be too bad but clearly they can't get over 30 ish players without really bad frame rate, that isn't something that is going to be fixed over night. Look at a singleplayer game like Skyrim, took Bethesda months with a huge team to nail down their performance issues :( They're creating servers for 150 players... only 30 is bad news. It's only my opinion anyway

So basically it's going to be December and possibly in to next year... dammit, I thought we would see it pretty soon :/

I wouldn't be surprised if they just released it at like 4 am GMT to try and at least deter a large number of people from getting it the second it hits steam :P

What seems to be down?

He didn't make it,l it was a random DayZ follower on Reddit and Dean simply tweeted it.

It's going to be next week like I've said a million times already till someone shuts me up :P . 12th November!

It aint coming out today!

I don't think there ever was a source!

If you look at my last posts I've been arguing against the friday release, don't worry!

It's not going to release today surely it wouldn't make sense?

If not next Tuesday then every Tuesday afterwards till it releases!

I would be seriously shocked if it came out today, like I said a few days ago, 12th November.

All these teases :P

Posted a couple of pages back! It us interesting though! Looks like they're having fun in the tests!

I'd say definitley next week, based on Rocket's tweets, the DB updates last night looked like steam page stuff. However I could be wrong... But I'm not :P

I think he might just be hunting for Hicks in the game?

Well they've removed the multiplayer weekly, but that's probably because, like Rocket said yesterday, their weekly multiplayer test where they invite as many players as possible was on on yesterday and it's over now.

I feel like the mod will be there as possibly a platform for people who don't have money straight away, People who want to play private hives and people who want to play new mods.
