Two days ago I would tell people to buy ARMA for this mod

You guys are hilarious. Yes it's alpha. We know.

There are always elitists. Stop being one of them and use some logic for a moment.

The game is way too hard right now. The ones who see it are just giving their opinion.

As of today' date=' I tell them to wait on my stream. I understand this is alpha and all, but maybe you should consider two builds. One for testing purposes, and a stable current build. This mod was really amazing, very punishing, and overall extremely fun before the 1.7.1 (?) build came out. The build that caused the great famine! :P

I'm sure zombies will continue to be tweaked, but they are completely insane now. Seeing through buildings, aggro around corners, aggro across towns, it would seem they hear across buildings as well. I would like to think they are broken right now, and need to be reverted to how they were or a hotfix is needed ASAP to make this playable again.

I play as a bandit. I kill others, I don't mind starting over when I get killed, but now without a weapon with the way zombies are is extremely frustrating. Besides the aggro issues, bleed on first hit, then random hits cause bleeding and knockouts. Sure you gave us a melee weapon to deal with things early, which kills nicely.. when it hits before the zombies. I've had many fights while using a melee weapon where 1 zombie knocks me out, with 10k blood, and it kills me before the timer goes to expire.

Just wayyyy to many issues with zombies now, please consider a test build and a "stable" build for people to play as well. I think you've created something awesome here, but need a bit better direction with how this is going to go as it gets more popular.

Hope zombies get fixed!

Thanks, sorry for the horrible thread, late and tired :(

Well written feedback. All of the recent updates have been under 4-5 days.. I think people just need to be a little patient and this will be ironed out soon. With the speed they put out hotfixes and update.. who knows what game we'll be playing next week. :) Alpha can probably be a very slow process and a lot of work. It's better to run into these unplayable scenarios now.

I can't say I agree with no starting weapon or not as that's completely personal preference. But I do agree zombies need to be tweaked big time.

Great feedback though.

It's an alpha' date=' literally.

So you have said, and will do again no doubt.

Some of us are trying to discuss in a constructive manner the possible benefits of having a stable build and a dev build.

The fact is, most alphas are closed, and partaken by people who know how to test and compile reports. What is being suggested by a split build is not uncommon, and really given the dramatic rise in popularity of people looking to play the game, makes sense.

I came here to play a great mod for a great game. Sure if bugs are found or I can be helpful I will... But I'm here to game, most people who says otherwise are likely lying.

True and at least you're being honest that you're here to game. I agree most people definitely are. However, I don't believe they opened up the Alpha to the community just for gaming (probably one reason) but more so that they could employ large amounts of people to speed up testing and development.

They simply may not have predicted the popularity the mod would invoke.

I love how all criticism is stifled on these threads with replies about the poster being entitled.

Fuck you guys, seriously. The game is unbalanced and needs to be fixed. Yes, we are allowed to play the alpha... meaning the devteam is allowed to get our criticism, which is the whole fucking point of alpha and beta testing.

You're getting to play this open alpha' date=' because you playing the alpha, helps test new features and stress test servers. If you dont want to "test", maybe you shouldn't play.

You can't have access to an early alpha and demand a perfectly smoot experience. Seems absurd to demand that Rocket works on two versions of the mod, one for those who want to help test and a seperate for those who don't want to help.

ok, posts like this really piss me off. You are saying we are testers, but then getting angry when we try to report an issue?

[thedukey3 12]

I really would just ignore the people who keep saying "THIS IS ALPHA!" (kick?), and keep posting feedback.

Also I hope rocket reads this and responds regarding two different builds. This last patch and set of hotfixes really didnt do anything GOOD for the game, and should be used as the perfect example of why two builds would be the best way to go with the dev process. Of course all these "THIS IS ALPHA!" (kick again?) people will be awesome testers in the test builds since thats all they do in this alpha now, is test and not play to enjoy the game :P
