With Dean's tweet acknowledging that there would be radio silence for the final lap and Brian Hicks' (producer) various mentions to this current sprint (which we know are monthly), it's not that difficult to deduce that we won't hear anything until the month is out. My guess then is a release.

let's all pray! The release of the SA is like an unbelievable miracle...

Keep on Topic please.

Cleaned.

I think that Dean needs to consider another direction. This sort of thing is still good and realistic (I take my hat off to him for his genius), but it's a noob protecter. Instead, he should be incorporating elements that encourage paranoia so that said now-paranoid player hires (or enslaves!) guards to protect themselves, surrounding themselves with security just to keep their precious lives. Imagine being knocked out, waking up in the fortress of an overlord, being given a low-level gun and some supplies and told to stand guard. What if they try to run? Or fight back? Or even let a bandit in? :ph34r: These ideas are worth some note, so please Dean, just consider them. :rolleyes:  Oh, the stories they would create...

[mdmonnik@deakin.edu.au 139]

Thank goodness for people like Ivan and Hicks who do a DayZDaily once every week or so, but damn, put out a DevBlog or just tell us the game isn't ready/coming out this month, but radio silence stinks like zombie breath.

problem: why would you protect someone (act as a guard)? for the sake of creating a cool story?? how would you reward someone?

Q: Where is Rocket? 

 

I'm still here, things are very busy. Things are good. But I absolutely have to focus 100% on this. That means no family, no friends, no facebook, no twitter - no nothing.

This is probably the hardest thing I've ever done, because nearly everything else I've done nearly entirely myself. This is now a major team effort, but I hold the vision. That means I have to be about six places at once, and if I loose that focus for a moment that costs us. There's only one thing that matters to this big team now, and that's do the best we can to make a good game. That's really the only promise I can make, and the only one I should ever have made.

 

 

 

Try exploring the forums a little bit. They're buckling down so they can focus and work on the game, rather than pander to every single request for a new dev-blog. Would you rather have a youtube video which literally takes away several hours of time away from development (just so you can get a few minutes of eye candy), or would you rather have the game in your hands?

 

 

Patience, people.

Yea, I saw this post earlier this week

 

and to answer your question ...dev blog.  lol

You know what I would love to see in DayZ SA, the ability to place my back on a wall and able to peek out from the sides.

What about blindfire?!  :lol:

No thanks.  That type of gimmicky cover system is what ruined the Rainbow 6 and Ghost Recon lines of fps shooters.  Give me "lean left" and "lean right" any day.

I'd have to say one of the few games to pull off a cover system in an FPS environment well is Red Orchestra 2.

If it were that kind of cover system I wouldn't mind it in the slightest.  Still good old fashion leaning is preferable to everything else.

Yea, I like the leans, but I don't think that is AS realistic as hugging the wall.

"He notes that the “core network architecture” is holding up the release."

Dam.
