Dr. Goner 661 Posted April 11, 2014 I wonder if the people complaining realized that a lot of us followed the development of standalone for a FULL year before the game was even released as alpha. Every conversation and argument that you're making was literally made one hundred times before the game even came out. Do you play any other alphas? I've been playing Project Zomboid, Kerbal Space Program, Space Engineers, and a few others. DayZ is updated more than ANY of them. ANY. Find something else to do with your time besides coming on here to complain. It accomplishes nothing. Good day, see you in a month. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Stookey 34 Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) As much as I adore DayZ and have since the mod days, I've struggled to cope with the standalone. Shitty controls, bad optimzation, glitcher's and hacker's, etc. Yes, the game is in alpha, yes the game is far from complete. But I don't understand how the game just keeps getting worse and worse with every single fucking update. Oh and the rate of the updates.. are absolutely appalling. How long has it been since the last update? Not to mention, was that update even worth it? HELL NO! 0.42/43 was the worst shitty update EVER. DayZ is severely lacking content, The progression of the game is becoming very slow. I've just got that feeling that, Dean has given up already and that now he's earned his bazillion amounts of money, he's done. Especially with H1Z1 coming out by a big triple A company who can push updates out out their ass 24/7 and look to have a terrific dev team who are interacting alot more with the community than Dean does. We all know, Dean doesn't care about us or other 'killer' games coming out, he only cares about himself and that's how it's always been. But we'll see when H1Z1 comes out and you lose half of your players (including me), we'll see. Put your butt into 6th gear and show us why DayZ is the best survival game out there. DayZ for me, is the best survival game out there atm, but I doubt it will remain that way once Sony release their game. You can say "oh it's another WarZ" but I beg to differ. SOE are a massive multi $$$ company. they have the dollar and they also have way more experience, just look at Planetside 2.

Riding Jock doesnt help development Dr. Goner.

pantsd0wn 49 Posted April 11, 2014 certainly not trying to start yesterdays fiasco over again, but had these solutions been in your original post and presented with this methodology i would've never said anything. i completely agree with this post. beans for you...I appreciate your ability to adjust your response when my own also changes. Although I had made most if not all of those points in previous posts, I admit that my irritation with things clouded the way I was trying to get that across.And to anyone who is upset about swearing on this forum...is that really a big deal? I think this forum allows it, so honestly I think you will have to allow for it as well. In my world, a few good swears can more accurately convey a message than a paragraph of text...

If swearing is banned in your world, I really think you have a lot to learn about life, my friend."My swearing doesn't mean any more to me than your sermons do to you."- comment made to Rev.

leviaxxan 39 Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Where has I said swearing is bannedin my world? What I have said is that I prefer to convey a message without resorting to petty exchanges that a pre-teen could get involved in. If the situation calls for it, then yeah, swear your fucking heart out. Anyway, going completely off-topic here. Sorry mods.

WarhouseTV 18 Posted April 11, 2014 Is anyone watching this DayZ twitch stream from PAX? if this trip is for publicity Dean has really failed. Literally just shown a newbie run around in the woods, not 1 other player, not one zombie, not one piece of loot. Dean had to get him to rip up his t-shirt for bandages to show some action. Im just waiting for him to announce an update that wont happen next week. Now they are talking about other games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starts off with a pretty epic intro! Thanks for the link. Pretty much summed up as demonstrating the "walking simulator" aspect of the alpha right now. Misc. comments on plans, new staff, etc. everything we have heard already, all with the overly-positive reaction of the interviewer. The intro movie really does not reflect actual game play at all, as it currently stands. Positively cringe-worthy. It could have been worse. The game might not have loaded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The intro movie really does not reflect actual game play at all, as it currently stands. Positively cringe-worthy. It could have been worse. The game might not have loaded. Since the early days of the mod, DayZ has ALWAYS been a running/walking simulator. EDIT: And I say that as a positive thing.

Gugolas 228 Posted April 11, 2014 Haha, we will see if he is trolling or not. My advice: don't hold your breath. By the beard of Zeus, I cannot stand to see that "source reddit" note...I wish Dean wasn't such a god damn hipster. Update your own forum, shortcake!I agree, I hate reddit. I just wanted to point out that if someone is trolling, than that one is not the poor Chris Torchia ;)I'm not holding my breath anyway, I doubt that we'll see epic announcements on the devblog, just a rewriting of the last two ones. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnarchyBrownies 1383 Posted April 11, 2014 But I think we can agree that's not ALL it is, and in fact the game play comes from almost any other aspect. To only demonstrate walking around in the game, publicized the way this PAX bit is, is a little weak, don't you think? Could care less what happens at PAX. Almost 2 million people have bought the game and all the new players that come will be from word of mouth (us) and youtubers who play the game more and more as it develops. I'd imagine it would be hard to show DayZ in any way in these demos. Would it be fair to show a geared character running around fighting? People new to the game would be pissed to get on and barely even be able to make it city to city and wondering why the fuck all they get to do is run through forests and fields.
