Rezzed - June 2013 - Developer Session

[jaytmuk (DayZ) 621]

Yes, it will stream live radio from the interwebz. Live radio stations that have been endorsed by the devs as I understand it. They are currently accepting applications.

Would be cool to keep one frequency on the radio free and have a radio transmitter at say green mountain so anyone there can transmit anything they like(with a mic) to that free frequency :) (maybe sos messages or trolling)

[jaytmuk (DayZ) 621]

I totally agree with you and don't get me wrong, I never said I didn't like the idea. It reminds me of the movie American Psycho where christian bale is killing the guy with an axe and "too hip to be square" is playing in the background. It adds a further darkness to the scene in a facetious way. Like it makes you think "thats fucked up/awful/etc." but almost laugh because "too hip to be square" is setting the mood.

It just seems like a small immersion breaker due to the fact that most people would worry about their own survival rather than broadcast music to listeners who may not exist. I would still vote for it every time, but this will always be in the back of my mind. Just my .02.

Am gonna play "singing in the rain" on me radio whilst axeing someone to death in cherno supermarket (aka clockwork orange) :)

Me, obviously.

i cant help but think Dean is over thinking what the ave. player of Dayz does in game, and how they play/live.

i really dont think anyone on ave. is gunna care about foot damage or infection/diesase cuz they will simply die n respawn into a fresh body at the slightest in convienence.

secondly i wonder if his primo-rare loot system will even work..

imagine for a minute, i lukily find the only uber rare gun-o-matic5000 for the planet. i promptly log out of that character.. now that item is basicly no longer even in the game..

does he plan to have the item removed from inactive players within a set time ? or does the item become available to respawn on another sever if the item/player logs out ?

but then what if that initial player logs back in, is the item deleted from their inventory ?

frankly i just dont see how this uber rare loot system can work... i like the idea of rare loot, but i just not sure a world economy model wont be abused within minutes...

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

I see your point, not sure how it could be abused though? Especially in comparison to the farming, duping, loot tables and other general abuse we see in the mod.

It will need balancing though and that's exactly why they need a public alpha, to gather info on player behaviour.

Steam sales are rumored to begin on Wednesday. Possible silent DayZ rollout at some point during the 2 weeks??!! [/hope] [/speculation]

I'm curious how they are going to manage loot inflation with offline players, maybe some kind of degradation after an extended period of time so super rare items can eventually be destroyed/respawned if they haven't been used for months.

If they said that the game is to be released at the end of June, shouldn't it be coming out sometime this week? :huh:

[Rarabka 165]

I really hope there's a much bigger image of this floating around. :D

Here's the full sized one

They never said that though...

It's June-August and they've already set a window but they don't tell when. That's the only thing we got.

[sharx69@gmail.com 10]

Just rocket stating that the alpha would be released within a week! So that kinda would be end June... B)

[Private Evans 1303]

Believe me, if Frankie uploads his first video about the standalone, every second viewer will buy it, regardless of being bugged as hell or not. The fact that the game costs at the beginning way less than after development is a very good reason for many to buy it immediatly and Frankie will, of course, tell them about the price.

Let's see first if the SA will fit his kind of gameplay...seeing Frankie running around wielding a shitty tin pipe will probably noty satisfy his viewers :P ( but I am somehow sure he will be one of the lucky guys always finding a rare riffle)

Sorry for being sarcastic but this youtube star cult is really annoying and I don't think this game needs it. :)

Sigh. That's not what he said though... He actually said they have decided that they plan to release it in a specific week. They have not said which week it is, and have definitely not said that it is within a week of now.

I guess I'm really naive, but I can't believe how many times this has had to be clarified already. I don't know if it's a language barrier or people just don't listen. Either way it has to stop.

Rocket said it pretty unclear in the Rezzed. I also believed he said it'll be out in a week until I read the sentence in Youtube comments. But some don't seem to understand no matter how many times has been said what the sentence means.

[joe_mcentire 2074]

so SA will now be out this week?

I dreamed that I finally got the email saying 'The external closed testing is now open and here is your build, with installation walkthrough', with that magical attachment.

I literally can remember the content of the email - the excitement transferred into real life when I woke up.

Whilst this reflects on me as being an incredibly sad person, I want to get testing :(

[smokey0159 6]

we have set a window like in about a week?, were not going to say when that is?

why not now everyone is getting on there high horse and think its going to be released in the next wee, so rocket put the record strarght and give us the time frame of this window, so we can stop all this its out in a week and the rest to come with blah blah blah, please just tell us all this time frame of when your going to release atleast your time frame as all the stories are getting old know and i for one is getting real bored of these hopefully this month we should be doing this and maybe get it out to public around this time etc etc etc and everyone start saying itll be out for then or that month blah blah blah please stop this as reading all these threads with it in are really getting me annoyed anyone else feel this way??? or just me???

He stated he will release the build when it's in an enjoyable state for everyone ("done when it's done"). I can understand he doesn't want to screw the release with a build full of gamebreaking bugs and glitches. So my guess is they prefer not saying anything because if major shit was to happen and they couldn't release it the week they announced, then everyone would be pissed off and whine all over the place.

I also think they heard the feedback about glitchy zombies and animations and want to fix that for the release.

[Private Evans 1303]

...he also said that they will fix the zombie animations ( event handler) next week...don't think they will release it without this stuff being fixed :)

[AnarchyBrownies 1383]

Yeah I can see how people would be confused initially. My first thought when he was saying the whole "week timeframe" thing was that it would be within the week. But then he elaborated and I was like oooooh they have a "release week". Then if you actually read the thread where it's clarified what he means there are no excuses. After following the standalone development for this long I have concluded I could never be a game developer. I couldn't handle the general public misquoting and misunderstanding me constantly. LUCKILY I've never had the intention of doing so. So I can leave that to the patient and talented individuals :)

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Rocket *wakes up and tweets "urhghghg... I feel weak today".

10 minutes later: IGN Exclusive!: DayZ SA confirmed to be released within the week!

Honestly it drives me nuts though and over half of my posts (literally) are correcting people that post mis-information after Rocket has said something or demonstrated something. At Rezzed he DEMONSTRATED a radio and how it would work in game. To do that he played an 80's song. He also said that they are accepting player submissions for radio stations and clearly said that radio content will be community driven.

Somehow people just see the radio and hear the song and then and completely manage to miss or ignore everything else said about it and think everyone in the SA will be running around playing 80's classics, it drives me bonkers.
