What happened to 10 -- 15buck$ alpha pricing?

[SJKSJK 225]

In the early days of dayz mod (when there were only 50servers and logging on was pain in the ass) community grew as people helping each other learn, solve bugs, captured videos, writing tutorials voluntarily and we were all excited about this and wanted this to become huge as it is today. anyway, rocket always said in early days of development 'it will be the minecraft model, alpha price will be very cheap, like 10 bucks'.

 

one thing I did was I quit buying battlefield games after walt disney bought ea and turned it realistic war promoting brainwash asset. last game I bought from dice was bc2 for me. now I understand same thing happen to bohemia also. I mean you people hit the jackpot already by selling a dead-forgotten game named arma2oa  2mil thanks to dayz mod, you restricted models and weapon crosshair textures to sell broken DLCs for 10 bucks too and I bought them to support, that was OK... then arma3 came out with 35$alpha price and stupid 30-20fps multiplayer performance and all the same cpu utilization problems same as arma2 .. and now this, dayz is 30 bucks unlike what you stated all the time at every chance 'it will be minecraft model, 10 15$ price for alpha'..

 

same map, same engine, even same zombie sounds after 1 year of development (As I saw on yt videos) and lots of sun rays with obvious stalker rip off ship on shore.. even weapon models look they belong to stalker. all it needs underground passages to complete rip off imo.

 

mod was succesful cuz creating a zombie mmo from arma2 was genius but standalone is lame with all this un original ripoffs .. at least for me, maybe people haven't played what I played will enjoy but not me.

my 2 cents. you people get greedy, and this shows itself both with game's price and it's present state. Thats a shame really.

anyway it was fun to had those moments at early days of mod. thanks a lot for all that. But releasing same map with worse performance and 30$ alpha price? thats spitting in the face to people who supported this mod from day1.

They could have charged 59.99 in my case.

Hello there

 

Lets not get personal.

 

The world economy isnt great for many at the moment and regardless of whether one wants to pay a set price  well thats very different to their living circumstances.

 

Never judge a person by the size of their wallet or where they live.

Not the point. Totally not.

 

Not the point? But what point?

 

That guy is bitching all around about the pricing of the game (and yes, I didn't say the alpha because we will get  the game eventualy without paying more) because Dean said that the alpha will cost 10-15 bucks at some point.

Well fuck a duck, things changed and so the price. And what? 10-15$ for the alpha access and then 20$ more when it's released. Because don't tell me you thought you would have had the game for only 15$. Good deal for us but a total ruin compared to their work put in the development.

... oh-wait-a-second...Here is our " WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING. " again.

Basicly meaning that you don't purchase a product as a customer since it's not a finished product -obvious is obvious- but you're supporting the development of the game as a crowndfunder sort of (except that you also gain the access to the alpha/beta as a tester and the final game without giving away any more cent). Not happy with that? Well, farewell or see you later when it's released and/or reviewed.

 

 

He's not happy about the current state of the game? Well better wait already.

Same map? I don't remember there was a military base in the north of Kamenka and the south of Vybor, or a wrecked cargoship in the far NE or that 90% of the building were enterable. That last one makes chernarus totaly new for me already.

Same engine? What the actual fuck was that statement?! We don't have to see script kiddies at every corner of the map because the entire engine had been reworked

Same zombie sounds after 1 year of development? Who the fuck cares about that to be changed in an early alpha?

Nobody ever said it was going to be a certain price, you just listened to forumers who were speculating. Now shut up.

Walt Disney ea war promoting conspiracy theory?

[okiimatsu 56]

I'm sure the Bohemia wigs set the price despite Rocket Man. I believe it's somewhat overpriced at this release to be honest. Although I would have spent

fifty bucks or so on a physical box set with some included swag. It is what it is.

[Fruit_loop87 21]

Didn't you see the bold text in the steam store saying its ALPHA their will be bugs as the game isn't complete, if its to much wait for the game to be finish and steam will have a sale on after a few months

[Loafy 46]

I heard about it. I guess it was never a for sure thing. $30? Take my money! I'll gladly support/be a part of your zombie game.

[beardedcap 22]

wat....

Before leaving this uncommented, the shitty performance comes mostly from a shitty cpu of yours. Get a job -> Buy a modern CPU -> Enjoy decent frames.

:emptycan:

Moron, it's well known that the engine doesn't utilize our hardware like it should. I have a pretty quick i5-3350p and dayz runs like shit, worse than vanilla OA and much worse than Arma 3.

these games all have the same engine. I'm aware that it's buggy and unoptimized, but with my i5-4670K I can achieve 60fps in all three of these games easily

 

 

EDIT: oh, and please don't call me a moron. You're making yourself look like an ass

That he is..

 

99% of streamline games use and render tiny maps that nowhere near compare to ArmA 2/DayZ's Chernarus, now slap loot and global synchronization in; there's your reason for lag beardedcap.

 

You can't buy a game such as this and NOT expect lag.

[ninjacalypse 551]

 

Not the point. Totally not.

 

I don't have money pouring out my ears but I totally would have paid twice as much for this game without batting an eye, being fully aware of the current issues.  It's still an awesome game and it's completely worth it in my opinion.

 

I'll tell you what I'm not buying.  I'm not buying any more EA games.  Since BF3, EA has just been a downward spiral of disappointment.

[antonioajc 500]

Oh my god dude, you have been given warnings and Rocket made the description to DISCOURAGE people from buying the game because of its current state. A lot of things change in the years, they may have promised that it would be 10 bucks the alpha as you said, but as I said and I will repeat: A LOT OF THINGS CAN CHANGE IN A MATTER OF YEARS. People can't keep on with what they say forever. I have no idea what you expected from a Pre-Alpha.

[capt. beefsteak 95]

So you left CoD because of them, and now they're ruining all of your fun in DayZ? Tell me guys, how does it feel to run crying with your tails between your legs from a bunch of fucking 12-year-old's?

 

If they're such a pack of immature idiots, how hard can it be to just straight up kick their fucking asses?

 

"Oh, but that wouldn't be DayZ! If I have to actually beat an opponent with the brain of a 12-year-old, that's TOO HARD!"

 

"This game's all about SURVIVAL!! But, you know, easy survival. Not hard survival. Like surviving a bunch of 12-year-olds."

 

Holy shit change your diapers and grow some fucking balls.

I think the idea is that the 12 year old is to immature to play the game as it is meant to be played, so then it makes it easy for them to kill those who may be older trying to experiance the game for what it's worth..

 

I will put a "however" in the mix though.. However, if you intend to stoop to the youngsters level, and get killed by them, (they are all on the coast on roof tops with moslins and hp scopes) knowing you stand that chance of getting killed by someone like that should also be sitting in the back of your mind as you attempt to enjoy the game. If "you" play the game like "them" your chances of dying by a "bullet to the head" go up.

 

Any person really trying to survive wouldn't go into an area where they know that these "kids" have weapons and intend to kill them, even in real life. This in turn makes the CoD statement's by those getting killed for staying in the "CoD kid" area's of the map become a bad survival move on your part.

 

Also realize that nobody is good enough to say alive in this game for any super extended period of time at the moment. If they are it's because they are up north, found a random town and live currently off server reset's to gain food and medicine etc..

 

I do go into coastal towns as well, and I do get killed. I don't always know who it is, but then the game is setup so you won't know. There are a handful of exploit's and I've posted my complaints like the next guy. However like in all games, the better you know the map, the longer you live. Learning the hotspots for sniperfire, via hills of electro etc.. goes a long way in staying alive. But as I mentioned before, you place you life on the line each time you go into a coastal town just based on the shear number of people who spawn kill the freshies from the rooftops, and the occasional decked out military dude, which I would assume you'd be, running around feeling bold, until you run between the crosshairs of a Bandits scope.

 

If it's the survival aspect you seek, then be aware of your surroundings to get a head up on those you know are out there trying to kill you, and make you put your keyboard through your monitor. At this point in the alpha, on to the beta, and full release you are still in control of your player, he only goes where you put him. Choose your loot areas wisely to live, or die and rage because you thought you became a badass in a server where 98.5 percent of the time (my statistics) you get killed regardless of what's on your person.

Oh, they're long gone.

It's because everyone is convinced that they are the superest bestest player in the world, and it's unfair when if and how they get killed. Must be hacks, because nobody can do it without them.

 

It's a horrid percentage of these untouchable players that can't stand the idea of once in a while being bested.. It happens get over it, because it's going to happen again...

[archibald tutter 7]

OK!

shit I admit... I'm poor and unemployed. dayz is awesome. you guys have phuns..:(
