October Round-up: #DayZDaily

[SmashT 10907]

Can you say how often do you guys get to test DayZ? Everyday a new build?

 

Those who are wondering what sprint means read this http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/scrum/sprint-backlog and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28software_development%29#Sprint_Backlog

Rocket's final lap sounds good when you connect it to the sprint, if one sprint happens every month, that we might get DayZ this year.

 

You can see the steam updates here, http://steamdb.info/app/221100/#section_history

 

That being said Rocket posts new changelogs/revisions/commits etc multiple times a day on Skype. There are usually lots of changes since the last Steam update shown on that page, just they aren't pushed to Steam immediately so the time between Steam updates isn't really an indication of what's happening, just that a new build hasn't been pushed yet. I think most of the mods usually stay off the server unless there is an "interesting" update where something new is added in-game as many of the updates focus on backend stuff.

Can you guys say how close the game is to being released as an Alpha SmashT?

 

I'm guessing around Halloween but Arkham Origins comes out soon as well. Ahhhh!!! So many choices.

[fluxley 2228]

The new items look cool. 

 

Young survivor's compass in cereal boxes is genius too 

 

 

 

That fire extinguisher could make for a great improvised melee weapon.

 

And the shovel, please let me hit zeds in the face with a shovel.

good to see both teams (DayZ and Arma3) sharing their stuff...I really hope to see the new DayZ SA skeleton ported to Arma 3 as well..maybe we can get some Arma 3 goodies for that  :) (physics....)

IMO the December release date is still active

I just went back to test some dayz (arma2) and they had added the possibility to smash zeds with axes and crowbars etc.. The aiming and functionality with it was so horrific.. I deeply hope that it wont be as shit in the standalone.

According to that, if I got it right, network bubble is finished and they are just pollishing the game, adding objects and other stuff. I hope I`m right. 

 

Also, they`ve got a lot of new workers in team, so this sprint backlog should be done until the end of October.

In my opinion, things like network bubble, server-client architecture are global and core problems for dev team and probably they should not announce "sprint" until this things are finished first. But that`s just my toughts. 

 

And can someone please explain me, what the hell does this mean and how does it work?

I say if rocket wants a so called stable release he should release it naow as there are these new epic Triple A games GTA V, BF4 etc people will be playing those and the small part of the community such as us the forum members who have their mouths all watered up constalty for standalone and us that are really there for playing the game and helping the devs smash bugs. Like i said earlier Most people still have their hands full of GTA V and the PC people soon have Bf4 so I think if DayZ has to be released this year, it should be released this month, or early next month but not during christmas because if its gonna be released just before christmas people will buy this as present to each other and to their casual gamer friends who are not used to alpha versions and then boom the shitstorm in the forums shall begin. And we either try to calm people down or duck behind a wall as shit starts to fly and whos gonna be the target? oh its gonna be in our rocket hall inside a HeinZ can of Deans

If DayZ were to release now, I would drop BF4/GTA V in a heartbeat. Not to mention that a human being can play more than one video game at a time.

 

That, and anyone who's buying BF4 for current-gen is wasting money, even if it's only ten bucks. Waiting for next-gen.

 

No matter what people say, whenever SA is released, all those "naysaying", "disinterested", and "all my friends are tired of waiting for Dean to get his act together" people are going to come flocking back in a second and the community will be a shitstorm anyhow.

It will be better than the mod but don't expect something amazing.

[Budheadz 28]

I predict that the SA will release during the launch of the nextgen consoles, to help keep the servers from exploding.

[Zanders 65]

Dayz standalone = Dayz for arma 3 :)

[Max Planck 7174]

Dayz standalone = Dayz for arma 3 :)

 

What? No.

 

Arma3 = Arma3

DayZ SA = DayZ SA

[feanor12345 58]

I think thats the whole point of delaying it , to make a difference between the A3 mod...

The arma3 mod that is more buggy than the current DayZ mod?  :huh:

[soapmak3r 677]

What is BIS's position on 'DayZ - Origins' and 'Gamers Platoon' and how they have threatened legal action against people for using 'their' copyrighted assets? And that they are apparently making money from 'Origins'.

 

I tried their version of the mod a while back and it was even buggier than the official version, but they apear to have a small army of people promoting it and hyping it up to get people on board and playing it...

 

Didn't gamers platoon back and promote WarZ as an alternative to DayZ when WarZ was first announced and released? Then they bailed as soon as it's name was mud... Opportunistic turn coats...It appears.

 

PC Gamer are promoting it and 'Origins' folk appear to be downvoting any critcism that it gets... http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/10/16/dayz-origins-mod-update-1-7-7-adds-new-i-am-legend-inspired-area-and-er-ghosts/

I think they are either getting new zeds and vehicles done before alpha. God knows i would have.

either that or they are shifting over to arma 3.

yeah youre probs right its gonna be a dark day for the community mods have been shining their banhammers waiting for that a year

[Quanaril (DayZ) 114]

Yesterday there were two updates on http://steamdb.info/app/221100/#section_history. Check out the increase of the numbers. If we are to assume that the bigger the amount is increased, the bigger the update is; can we say that the alpha is getting closer? Hmm? #conspiracytheories

[Zero3ffect 60]

can we say that the alpha is getting closer?

 

It can't get any further away so sure...
