[Request] Latest update

[Dodimir 15]

Rocket we all know your probably on vacation but is it possible to have a new update today/tomorrow? 

 

I am fully aware that it's an Alpha and I'm also fully aware that it's the holidays and all but it's been a week now that we've had this patch which introduced a game breaking bug (bodies disappearing) and as you said in your twitter feed that you managed to fix the issue while you were at the airport O.o so if possible can we have at least some type of hotfix released for this issue. 

 

I can wait for new features, items ect it's not a problem. I have the current experimental patch installed but sadly there are no servers available with it atm so I've been stuck here for a while on the forums just roaming everyday in the hope that the update has been released :(

No!! Rocket is not allowed a Christmas or New Year. He has to satisfy us all and give us all his time and devotion.

That's why we like you. You know stuff like this :D

It's a alpha. Game breaking bugs like this can stay in all the way up to release if the devs wanted. And, being alpha, the devs can leave it more than ONE FUCKING WEEK DURING A HOLIDAY SEASON WITHOUT A UPDATE. It's basic things you should be aware of when becoming a open alpha tester. 

 

If the devs know about it, we need only 0 forum posts about it.

 

Post below is correct, you can still play the game with this here.

Gamebreaking... people are pretty liberal with that term... how is combatlogging or disappearing bodies gamebreaking? Is it really annoying and take out the fun in the game? DEFINITELY! But is the game unplayable until this is fixed? Nope... Not in the slightest. 

A gamebreaking bug is something that renders the game unplayable. Like if you couldn't loot any kind of item at all, or all zombies are invisible and one hit kill you. With bugs like these the game couldn't be played. 

But combatlogging is just really really annoying. And its getting fixed, so put a tampon in and tell your mom about it

Lol. These threads remind me of kids writing letters to Santa.

 

 

"Dear Rocket,

 

I know that you have your own whole life to deal with and you're on holiday. Also I'm a nameless nobody on a forum but could you do me a big personal favor and release the patch regardless of it's state or what you happen to be doing this second. I know you read every single post on this forum that mentions your name. PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSE?

 

Love, Jimmy."

There is a part of me that desperately wants to believe that Rocket spends at least eight hours a day searching these forums for the terms 'Rocket' and 'Dean'. :p

I have no idea what leads you to think that asking for update or patch is going to make difference?

The real reason DayZ was pushed back a year.

Sorry, but no. Alpha tests are meant for testing the functionality and workability of new content and if the barebones of the game is not running properly it is up to the developers to address these issues to allow proper testing grounds for their testers. The primary reason for pre-alpha and the reason why we waited so long for dayZ alpha was so Dean could get a working barebones.

 

How can we possibly provide workable feedback if a key function in the game is not working. I'm not saying they should forgo their vacation to fix the issue but at the very least don't have it in your mind that "Dev's can do whatever they want cuz its alpha lol". It's just wrong.

I hope for a release on Monday then, I really want to play while I can only hear fireworks everywhere (sarcasm). ^^

I was trying to get at the "they do not have to update it right this moment" as they would if it was a on games full release and there was a exploitable bug. It helps speed up testing on the player side, but is not stopping it. If there was a bug that, say, crashed the game after a few minutes, then there would need to be a hotfix or a way to prolong the time until said crash ect. This just stops you from looting some bodies of dead players. I have played the game perfectly fine up until now without needing to loot a body.

Pushing an update online is something that needs to be done with care and needs to be monitored closely. So if something unexpected happens (say they push a patch and create a REAL gamebreaking issue), their team needs to be ready to quickly fix it and push another hotfix ASAP. That's why I don't think there will be anymore patches this year, because their team is busy, having a vacation etc, and they can wait for holidays to finish :)
