Gwraspe 318 Posted October 8, 2013 Day Zombie? I thought it means Day Zero, standing for the day of apocalypse. Sure there is a zombie on the cover, but it could be removed in notime. Besides that I think you got another understanding of "core feature" than I have.ok, just looked into it and i indeed had the 'Z' in the name wrongly figured - it's an assumption i've always held and never looked into, i will happily admit that i'm wrong there.as for the different understanding, yes indeed it seems we do and i will leave it at that as i'm not looking to argue - opinion be opinion, assumption be assumption and fact be fact.

Wayze 549 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) The original argument was that if they release stand alone without zombies, even if temporarily, it would give new players a bad impression of the game due to the amount of PVP that a lack of zombies would cause. So, in an earnest effort of trying to get this thread back on topic, I've basically shown how DayZ without zombies is Wasteland. I've literally played Wasteland servers that ARE EXACTLY DayZ without zombies. There are as many different types of Wasteland as there are types of DayZ at this point. Hell, I've played DayZ servers that didn't include zeds for whatever reason. I don't necessarily have an opinion on the subject. I would rather they don't release the game than release it without zombies. I personally feel like the entire conversion, like so many of his conversations, is nothing more than Wayze trolling and trying to get his post count up, but I digress.You are talking about the DayZ Mod, not the real DayZ. And the impression would be good don't you think? Most people like deathmatching, so that means Dean can make some money before he turns the game into hardcore survival again. :)And stop calling people trolls because you have another opinion, just shows how intolerant you are. ok, just looked into it and i indeed had the 'Z' in the name wrongly figured - it's an assumption i've always held and never looked into, i will happily admit that i'm wrong there.as for the different understanding, yes indeed it seems we do and i will leave it at that as i'm not looking to argue - opinion be opinion, assumption be assumption and fact be fact.Maybe you are right man, I have no idea either. I am not sure if Dean ever commented this. Zero was just my interpretation or something I have heard someday. Edited October 8, 2013 by Wayze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 1631 Posted October 8, 2013 and there is no wide range u can define a "core feature", zombies in DayZ are definitely one. its like u order bacon and eggs, and get only eggs. would u define bacon a core feature? srsly lol.Yep. If Dean delivers DayZ wihout zombies then we would have those eggs only. He would probably then want us taste those eggs and say what we should do differently to get them as greasy as possible. Then he delivers the plate with new eggs and that secret bacon and then we can say again how the bacon and eggs tasted this time.Or alpha testing isn't that you go eat your stomach full in 5 star restaurant. You go in 1 star restaurant to taste different things and give feedback how to make the place 5 star restaurant. This is just if Rocket wants to test things this way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is just if Rocket wants to test things this way.that would be absolutley legetimate and fine.but theres the thing that they/team/Dean dont release the 1 star food, they argue with the argument they need time to deliver a good game, yet claim the possible need of releasing the game without zombies.this is like pronouncing a 5 star restaurant but deliver 1 star food. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zero3ffect 60 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Day Zombie? I thought it means Day Zero, standing for the day of apocalypse. Sure there is a zombie on the cover, but it could be removed in notime. Besides that I think you got another understanding of "core feature" than I have. Pretty sure it stands for zombies or zed, otherwise, why would someone make a mod of DayZ and call it DayZero, if it was already called DayZero. calm before the storm The storm of 2014?

St. Jimmy 1631 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure it stands for zombies or zed, otherwise, why would someone make a mod of DayZ and call it DayZero, if it was already called DayZero.I first thought that Z means zero. It would be nice to hear from Rocket what the Z means (or first meant) in the name. And Wayze said it why not because Rocket hasn't defined the Z.

HumanBeing25 299 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I think this supposed "game release" is just to keep us occupied while Obama implements ObamaCare to its fullest.DON'T FALL FOR THE TRICK! Dean is a reptilian lizard living inside the giant spaceship we know as the "Moon". He's a fraud. He's a shill. He's one of Them.

Katana67 2907 Posted October 8, 2013 Dayz Daily! Hicks @Hicks_20622mPumped to see the revamped Zelenogorsk when we go live. #DayZDaily (It was always my favorite city) I love that whole Kamenka>Pavlovo>Zelenogorsk>Pustoshka/Myshkino>Lopatino/Vybor corridor. I spend 90% of my time there and always giggle when people bitch about Kamenka spawns, it's so obviously the best one if you've got an attention span of more than five seconds. I saw a while back, I think it was in some convention footage, where Zeleno had barracks. I doubt barracks will have the same significance as they do in the mod, but it looked nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
