October Round-up: #DayZDaily

[dvsilverwing 241]

Yeah, I get a kick out of the rumor trolls. I am sure the next guessed one is Black Friday and then its X-Mas, then New years, then Valentines day, etc etc.

 

So the game is that far away from being released and you're all letting us sit here wait?

I think he's making a point that people are looking too far into when the release date and that people have a habit of speculating over what they believe to be hints as to when it will come out.

Now granted the final lap statement could be taken as one and that is understandable for people to be a bit miffed.

Idk, I think people are getting to irrational these days over things.

[motorbreath 66]

What? I should feel guilty getting excited that the game can come out any moment? As -lOldBoyl- said the final lap was on 28th September. To the people who think we are crazy to be excited I have only one message: go and read something else if it bothers you.

 

Anyway:

To be fair, it's no surprise people are getting a bit excited the cock teasing tweets, pictures and testing ever since "Final Lap". That was the 28th of Sep when he said that.

 

Plus with all the testing they are doing now, it looks like SA isn't to far out.

Just a few months away.

I understand poking fun at the rumor trolls but, to be fair, there has been a vacuum of information lately and I think that's what's led to the wild speculation. I've come to accept that it will be out when it's playable and I trust the judgement of the Devs on that subject as I'm no expert. I have to admit (turning slightly red) I even thought they could have possibly released it on Halloween, just due to it being in the survival / horror genre. Any info would not only be appreciated but I think it would do some real good as far as speculation is concerned.

 

Also, you forgot to add November 5th to your list of speculative dates. Halloween was lightly speculated upon but I think the 5th of November thing is believed by many more. It would be nice to hear at least "It's not going to happen on the 5th." so we can all move on to speculating about Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Quanza, and the rest of the arbitrary dates  ;)

2014+ Confirmed.

 

But seriously, The Final Lap, the Renaming and even famous streamers

Also, regarding the 24 hour live stream, I think I'll do it when Standalone comes out, I sense it being near, if it isn't, I'll do it sooner

 

It's not hard to get exicted, only to be let down again

I have a feeling that i know why SmashT was on the server for hours.

The Dev team and the testers were bored so SmashT was hiding somewhere and everybody else had to find him.

 

It absolutely looked like testing or something but in reality they were just bored and wanted us to get on the wrong path.

OH hey some good news from Rocket on Twitter! :D

Oh lord, the zombies are so many and my crowbar is so small.. New engine-based Zombies are are an overwhelming success in MP test #DayZDaily

I want to see pics and/or vid :P

But more importantly that is the kind of information I like to see :)

Which means the SA when it releases as Alpha will have better zombies now :P

In fairness things did happen and alot more than for weeks if not months> Evan just a  picture provided my Dean and more to the point just communication happened was great to see on here. He was even on the forums! So I kind of feel I got my wish.

Engine-based Zombies?

[zfleming12 395]

Saw this on Reddit and could not agree with this statement more.

 

"Just getting this out of the way early. This is not a statement that means it is release ready, it is simply a statement that says one of the issues they were having is now resolved." pewpewlazors99

 

 

Engine-based Zombies?

Must mean they have internal engines that make them work. Wow..those zombies are so clever..

All terrible jokes aside..

I'm not sure o.O

Dean is clearly tired. Probably didn't sleep much, look at him "are are" "new engine-based". I think he means that the zombies, which required to rewritte them from scretch (changes in the engine?), are working very good.

[Katana67 2907]

"Engine-based" zombies could just be a poorly worded reference to serverside zombie spawns. But, if they've somehow revamped zombies already, I'd like that too.

 

Really didn't like the state they were in circa Gamescom (right?).

It really hard to tell what impact this has without any details. Is he implying that more zeds are now possible with this change?

 

"Oh lord, the zombies are so many..."

[jamieledgeway@hotmail.co.uk 216]

Hope so. And I hope there are many tears because of it.

 

Infact, the more tears that are shed, the better the game is.

[finalstraw 193]

The other question is...

 

 

Does this have any impact on release?

[Cain42 18]

Calm down guys , It´s out any mouth now ..

[Grabarz (DayZ) 95]

That the zombies have already been implemented into the engine sounds great.

Apparently they are very busy:

• about an hour ago Changed changenumber – 320249 › 320256
• about an hour ago Changed changenumber – 320242 › 320249

conspiracy theory

They are doing the MP test and they say that they have finally made some zombies that are awesome

I thought that the mp test was about testing the stability, why don't they say anything about the stability?

was it bad???

if so, its probably better to cover it up and say something positive, like zombies are awesome or kicking SmashT's ass...

 

or on the other hand

 

The stability was ok and they want to cover it up so we don't get too much hype

that would mean also that its HAPPENING!!!! yeeeeeha

It should be obvious by now that stability and stress tests haven't even begun yet

[Cain42 18]

I kinda hope ,  they gonna work on weekend.

Seems they've been working late all week, I doubt they're gonna give up their weekends too.

200-300 zombies in the mod. 3000 in SA. Yep, going to be nothing like the mod's play style/KOS cause you'll be eaten by 400 zombies at once when you shoot. Sounds amazing!!!!!
