Closed Alpha Test Day 1....

[Meeshe 170]

Anyone else really happy that the closed alpha has started but also so damn jealous? Just sitting here wishing I was a fly on the wall at BIS watching it all unfold. :D

[BSB Jimmy 360]

has it actually started, i saw some posts but the dayz team hasn't kept to their dates so far.

The Closed Alpha has been going on for a pretty good while already. It's just that they had only one server with around 20-30 people on it, which consisted mostly of the forum mods, Rocket, and some of the BIS employees. Now that the "mass test" has started with the server architecture being finished, there's around 30-100 people testing the Alpha.

Edit; My source: http://www.pcgamer.c...track-for-june/

So what we’re doing at the moment is, we gave free keys as a gift to the forum moderators, the Reddit moderators, people who helped out with DayZ development, and stuff like that,” Rocket explains. “I guess there’s about 30-100 people involved with that.”

“From here, once we’ve finished our server/client architecture—because we’re moving it an MMO model—we’re reviewing the situation of that in June, and then we do an alpha, just like Minecraft.”

LOL yea that is the thing I believe most of us want. :) But the advancement towards that is exciting to me.

I heard if you PM a forum mod asking for keys, you get one.. go go go go go!

I'm going to hunt down one of the alpha testers, murder him, and wear his skin just so I can brag about playing the standalone before all of you.

Copy-pasting from other sites, and from this site to others, is often funky. It's best to copy something, right-click in a word document, and choose whatever option DOESN'T copy the website's format (so it appears as normal text), then copy that and paste it here. Otherwise you get the above.

Thank you Apple, I'm skinning the body as of now. Is anyone willing to lend a bone saw?

Silly, you don't use a bone saw for skinning. That's what we have forks for. It's a lot more painful! (and marginally more effective)

No, Stea-I mean his jaw is wider than mine so I need to shave a bit off so I can pass for Stea-him.

Or you could hike up on testosterone and grow a wider jaw. *Shrug* I have the supernatural ability to change jaw width at will... but only +/- 1 nanometer, so you wouldn't know... dammit I want a real superpower. ;(

Seriously though. Get a chisel and hammer... or a fire extinguisher. Hasn't Surgeon Simulator 2013 taught you anything?

Speaking of which, I modded and made a SS 20132 version, where everything retro-neon with lasers and cool music. Basically, FC3: Blood Dragon, surgery edition. Unity wouldn't let me upload for copyright. :)

I'd be afraid of cutting a blood vessel because I had motion sickness from the neon lights and eighties music.

I had motion sickness too... if motion sickness involves intense head bobbing, enjoyment of repetitive beats, and lots of explosions.

i want to see the reaction of the mods if you actually do that lol, probably somebody already did it already

I happened to read that in Terry Crews' voice. I'm scared.

I am patiently waiting on the standalone, Have faith in Rocket my friends.
