Motorbike helmet will never come off my head

Speaking of motorbike helmets. They should impact on aiming. It's kinda impossible to aim wearing a motorbike helmet...

Also, is rocket alive still? His twitter has been inactive since the 14th...

No devblog again and not a single word from Rocket.

If its not going to be out then why doesnt he say.

Takes 1 min to announce it on his twitter lol

[Florx 1326]

no devblog? C'mon rocket give us a little twitt! :(

[osallivan 74]

Does Matt has twitter?

Well they could remove the ability for infected to "hear" in-game comms, which is what he was getting at, that being said it may simply be a limitation of the mod and not a design decision.

Surely all they would need to do is to have an always on function on the mic so that any voice coms are detected by DayZ, whether they are intended for DayZ or not.

The way Rocket posts promises like "devblog every friday" and is unable to carry it out is okay. It was quite a silly idea to post big stuff every week in first place if you ask me; however, if he did promise it then he had his reasons. And again, if he isn't able to carry it out then he has good reasons for that as well.

Now what I'm personally getting a bit sick of, however, is the way he simply hides from reddit, these forums and other websites by the time a devblog has to arrive (which is obviously not done). Why so? Why doesn't he just go write a quick post about how busy the team is, how well you guys are progressing and apologize for no devblog this week (or even better: take that promise back and post devblogs whenever you feel like it, sigh)? He simply hides from loads of angry/disappointed fans and followers until the problem is gone by itself (read: until another week has passed).

I do understand the possible "well, it's your problem of being angry or disappointed" approach. I'm just saying this problem wouldn't be the case for quite a bunch of people if they were simply told either that people aren't getting a devblog this week or that it will no longer come out weekly.

He never "promised" a devblog every Friday. He said they would aim to do that but not at the expense of making progress on the SA.

Also, I fail to see all the angry peeps here you mention.

There are many, we just choose not to say anything, as it's become common place

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Are those 2 new pics at the bottom of his twitter feed?

I thought we would have had a peep by now.

And I also hope the single player reference is about DayZ! Eventually anyways!

Well, we've seen what happens when they stay on after working on the SA all day just to rush out a devblog, even more tears.

You do realize how silly this sounds? The whole team of developers (this is not a hobby project anymore, RIGHT?) can not find time to do one update a week? At work I can create a KB on a complicated issue in 30 minutes how hard is it to write a page of progress update and throw a couple of screenshots in? They must have the worst time management skills in the world.

Maybe, ask them. I was just relaying the info that they didn't promise a weekly devblog, they said they'd aim to release them on Friday's as long as it didn't interfere with progress on the SA.
