treeHamster 4 Posted June 24, 2013 I have been keeping tabs on DayZ since last fall when it was released (though I thought it had been out a LOT longer, stupid me).I decided to finally make a forum account to ask who will be given the opportunity to buy Alpha when it gets released in the next month or two? Will it be on a first come, first serve basis, or will the devs be opening it first to the more prominent people?I ask because I never got ArmA2 mainly because Planetside2 was coming out and didn't want two games to have at the same time. Well I've gotten bored with Planetside 2 because of terrible development and design decisions which are ruining the game. So I thought I'd check in to see how the SA is going and see what it'll take to get an alpha purchase. I like supporting indy game devs because the games end up being a lot less about eye candy or cash grabs and more about fun (something the gaming industry has seemed to forgotten about in the past five years). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treeHamster 4 Posted June 24, 2013 I already read Aporis' thread. Wasn't that big of a deal, just took some reading. I am really excited and want to play the SA Alpha, mainly because I have no game to play anymore leaving my three hours of free time after work (before dinner) completely void.I really can't wait to get to play this Alpha. May I inquire (for anyone with the closed Alpha), about multi-screen support (resolutions over 1920x1080). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siberian (DayZ) 527 Posted June 25, 2013 they are gunna open it up to everyone..i suspect giving out a limited number of keys, and having negative reports, might kill momentum going forward.this way if everyone is buying it on the same day, by the time word spreads they will have already sold enuf units to no longer need to fear.
