Idea - please devs and admins read my topic

[MagnuZ 83]

Hi devs and admins of dayz standalone,

 

you all know that:

 

- trolling

- hating

- call out "this is an alpha"

-  call out "you get so much money, employ more developer"

 

[..] in this forum. I think its all a thing of non-communication between devs and survivors. Its a bit paradox, cause the devs writing from time to time and posting stuff on twitter and others. But maybe not enough(for dayzer) or in different topics, so not everyone is reading all forumpages, twitter accounts etc. I requesting you (devs and admins) maybe to create an own topic where every day (for example) the devs posting some:

 

- milestones

- links (twitter, pics, vids, funny stuff)

- funny stories about annoyances in their work

- upcomings (without putting out a date, otherwise survivors getting crazy when its not online)

- some explanatory notes for patches

= a pure collection of infos

 

I think this could help for more understanding in your work (devs). 

 

I know this stuff could take some time, but to write one or two sentences in a break is not too much. i think.

 

Maybe in a few weeks all survivors know what its mean to be an ALPHA.

 

 

Thanks guys and sorry sorry for my bad bad english

1. This is an alpha.

2. Devs don't have time for chit chat with everyone or to post "stories". You want stories go watch a soap opera.

3. If you think someone is trolling all you have to do is hit that Report button.

1. I know this is Alpha, after 1.000.000 sells u can expect "chit chat" how u call, for me its more involvment in dev - thats why it is an indi-early access

1.b I dont have problems with issues in the game - its was a thought to make things better outside of the game (forum etc)

2. U dont have to make me look silly - its an idea to weld community and devs more together

2.b I dont have a problem with calling it "not realizable" or "wishful thinking" 

3. It was a more generally sentence when i wrote "hating trolling". When you read all the topics you can find two kinds of dayzer. One defending dayz standalone and one hating. I think there is more potential in community then "only" to press one´s point

Basically they need a PR guy, IE a dev who's primary focus is communicating via facebook, twitter, youtube videos, forums etc.. the change-logs, the up-coming features, the what is planned, with videos of the team working etc.. Is that what you are suggesting?

Yeah, for example. I know that it can work fine; from another game ("gothic" and dev "piranha bytes") thats why i wrote this.

Yea CCP (developers of EVE Online) have this sort of thing, one or two devs that create videos (often quite amusing) to showcase what the next patch/expansion will contain, what they are working on including maybe one or two interviews and sneak peaks.

They're working their asses off, trust me, game dev unfortunately is a slow process and working with existing code can be harder than doing it from scratch.

Hello there

 

The devs do post info, both here and on twitter and reddit etc.

 

They dont owe us any communication but I too think a regular/consistent daily one line tweet would be more than enough to satisfy many.

 

That said, there will always be an outspoken few who will then complain that twice daily is needed ad infinitum.

 

Basically, one needs to assume they are working hard on something between press releases and not just doing laps of the car park in their lambos.
