Mathos (DayZ) 41 Posted November 13, 2013 With the numbers we have actually seen play, via gametracker and so on, it makes you wonder how many people they actually have for testing. Also if that 56 in game number is for SA then what server are they playing on?? Cause we haven't found it, and that would mean that they are just polishing it up for release!They could all just be idle at the main menu while talking to Dean about when he's going to shit out more progress.

Mathos (DayZ) 41 Posted November 13, 2013 Just lost connection to steam. Someone inform me on what is going on! Steam maintenance? or HABBEDIGS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Goner 661 Posted November 13, 2013 They could all just be idle at the main menu while talking to Dean about when he's going to shit out more progress. "56 in game" refers to the number of members in that group (in this case DayZ) that are currently in ANY game, not necessarily the game associated with that group. That's how steam groups work. Hope that makes sense. The 56 doesn't mean there are 56 people playing DayZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

korrobravin 96 Posted November 13, 2013 Just lost connection to steam. Someone inform me on what is going on! Steam maintenance? or HABBEDIGS? Not sure, happened to me as well... What could it mean? Most likely steam just being steam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Goner 661 Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks for letting me know. Never used steam to any extent so this is news. It's actually a pretty cool feature. If you're a member of a group, you can always see what games the other members of that group are currently playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like it would. Though i have gone retail for most of my games and the only time i used steam was to download combat arms and dota2(which i need to try one day) so actually bying a game from steam will be an intresting process.

There's nothing to it. I wasn't an early adapter and sort of got pulled in against my will, but now I like it quite a bit. It's especially nice for keeping all games up to date and tidy. My steam id is on my profile page here, ad me as a friend if you get a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kumando 199 Posted November 13, 2013 Aw. I was hoping for more weapon variety at the beginning, even if it's just unmodified "originals" from the mod Oh well Forget loads of weapons in sa, there are going to be more melee than firearms, get used to it or go play epoch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SalamanderAnder (DayZ) 1747 Posted November 13, 2013 Who knows? bugfixing is weird. Sometimes, a severe bug might be kind of easy to fix once you identify it. Other times, it can be pretty layered. Let's just withhold speculation until we get more data. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZlobaRUS54 441 Posted November 13, 2013 I'm curious about those testers, what do they test exactly? I doubt they get to free roam the world, it's more like work. At the beginning of the testing session Rocket gives them a specific task to test some feature , like find components and craft me 10 shovels each! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kumando 199 Posted November 13, 2013 ]Hicks_206Producer 15 pontos Released for one week? It really depends on the internal opinion at the time of release candidate approval. I'd like to give a small warning by flagging us as "Coming soon" but I've not discussed this with the team, and it will depend on how the team (and especially Dean) feels at the time. CHOO CHOO :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
