weedmasta 784 Posted April 11, 2014 If i did, i would take just 2 of the 30 million bucks and put out a bounty for any team from silicone valley to Taiwain to fix the game code and have it done in 6 months. But nope, Dean let Bohemia run the show. We are fucked. Someone didn't take his medication. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick1633 136 Posted April 11, 2014 I think I'll quote what Dean said in one of the interviews as I feel that it would be really nice if people actually got the message. "It doesn't take money to fix bugs, it takes time"What the hell? Not if you take a few million and put out a bounty for any talented team from silicone valley to Taiwain to fix the code and optimize. Talent can achieve great things faster than others. And millions can buy talent. You know why NFL starting recievers make 7 million a year? Because they are faster than you and me. So does Dean just mean that for the limited resources and talent they settled for when he said they need time not money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The team that's working on DayZ consists of many people who I personally respect immensely and am sure are the right people for the job. Your analogy does not even remotely relate to game development. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xX_fr0st-w0lf_Xx (DayZ) 343 Posted April 11, 2014 Well funds could purchase more talented workers (not saying current devs are bad) If I build my house with 10 good workers it may take lets say 2 yearsIf I build my house with 20 good workers it may take lets say 1.5 years. I know there is different teams working on different things, but seeing zombies run through walls while I look at a 10/10 compass just does not sit right with me.

dcrypt 15 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) I agree with OP. DayZ is crumbling and Dean knows it. He's constantly getting RIPPED by people 24/7 and I love it. FIX THE FUCKING GAME AND YOU WONT GET RIPPED. GRRRRR WOOF Edited April 12, 2014 by rexx222 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruStanSc 9 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) We didn't bought the alpha to have fun, we bought the alpha to find bugs. 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.

IamDinner 28 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Is there a Wil Wheaton "Don't Be a Moron Pledge" yet? Well it would be a good way to weed out the morons considering Willy is all about doing as he wants not as he says. Don't be a dick? K will we won't how about you try it out for a day as well? I am refering to Will as well not you. Basically the only motto I have ever tried to live by is be "do as you say or get the fuck out of my way" I have zero time for hypocracy. Willianne is so full of whitesplaining shit. Edited April 12, 2014 by IamDinner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoq2 221 Posted April 12, 2014 The whole problem with releasing an alpha stage game is that many/most (empirical data required to actually choose the right scale) will treat the game as "released" (read "gold"). It takes marketing psychology to decide what a "release" actually is - a date stated by the producer, or the moment the audience receives a product. No amount of "this is alpha" statements will prevent the negative reception which will produce a sort of stain on the product's reputation, and remain there for a very log time. Same goes for the loyalty of the audience - from my professional experience (marketing), I might guess that many "testers" will get bored with the product before the actual "release", and never make it to see the full product. From a financial standpoint, it doesn't matter - the product has been already bought. In the long term... I guess it's a slippery slope for the company.I was actually thinking about writing a short article about DayZ's marketing plan, since it's a masterpiece - "Make >1.5m people buy your product by telling them not to buy it." :) On a side note, telling to the public that something needs time will not help, as the public, PR and market only knows timing, and it can only be right or wrong.

vvidovvmaker 16 Posted April 12, 2014 I agree with OP. DayZ is crumbling and Dean knows it. He's constantly getting RIPPED by people 24/7 and I love it. FIX THE FUCKING GAME AND YOU WONT GET RIPPED. GRRRRR WOOF Please, please, please take your right or left hand (which ever is strongest) and slap yourself repeatedly until all the dumb falls out. (<-That was a little harsh.......maybe.) "FIX THE FUCKING GAME AND YOU WONT GET RIPPED." You think Dean gives two shits about half brained children "ripping" him for not fixing a game that is being built as we speak? "Dayz is crumbling" LOL yes and the hundreds of thousands of people who play have been enslaved by way of mind control to not turn off their computer or game and continue playing this crumbling waste of a game. Development process is clearly something that escapes 99% of the gaming population. On a side note, I paid $30.00 to play the most addicting game i've ever played and it isn't even near completion. I hope Dean went and bought a couple Ferraris, he earned them. You do something that brings entertainment to hundreds of thousands and one day some half brained twit can "rip" on you and tell you how much smarter they are from their parents basement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ubernaut 297 Posted April 12, 2014 Maybe you should make your own survival game since you think you know exactly what the devs should be doing? Agreed. OP should make his(?) own survival game. That's a game I wanna play four times. Check that. I would play that game -five- times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
