Interview With Brian Hicks @EGX London

[dromagewok@hotmail.com 164]

I don't mean to be sounding like I'm being hostile with you, I just want to understand why you think the project was mismanaged up until this point other than a confident charismatic interview with Brian? The basic roadmap created by Rocket is being followed, the same ideas and content are being followed through and he hasn't even stepped down yet.

 

It's just not being fair to the development team to preach that things have been mismanaged when the vision and direction hasn't changed.

Your name is so friendly. "jigglymuff" sounds sexy and comical!

 

It says a lot about the impact of this game and this community that within its ranks exist so many distinct political sub groups. 

 

I'm not sure why your posts are always so absolute and definitive, as if the way you view the DayZ universe is the only way. But in this, as in life, it is not my job to make you view the world the way i do. I can only respectfully disagree with your interpretation of the facts. 

 

I find it funny that you say someone is viewing DayZ in only one way. However, you constantly "ingore" me and others on this thread that you don't agree with. You know you are wrong an ill informed so the only thing you can do is "ingore" us.

Why did we use quotes on ignore?

Why did you ignore the post again? You have no rebutal other than to change the topic. You may as well quit while you're behind. If you want to change the subject some more go make another dumb thread.

Payday masks

throw-able item physics

east side only spawns

op balota

speculation about the implementation of project zomboid features

the ever present attempts to combat (quoting rocket) "the kill on sight mentality"

Rocket breaking the mod and giving it to R4Z0R to fix (which he did). 

Rocket himself said to Eurogamer - "I am a grenade," he told Eurogamer from the DayZ office in central Prague. “I have a specific use. I'm really good at risk-taking and making other people take risks, I've always been good at that in my life. Like you say, maybe I've got the gift of the gab, so I can talk, I can explain something, I can talk people up to the ledge and get them to jump off it.”

 

That risk-enabling role is what Hall offered to DayZ, both as a mod and as a standalone game. But eventually, he says, the risk-taker - the grenade - is a “bad person to have” in charge.

Payday masks

Masks were part of the clothing and character development process (just like having an M4 as the first weapon to test weapon attachments they are an early development item art is an easy and quick way to add content while working on behind the scenes programming)

throw-able item physics

How is this a bad thing? It's still currently under development

east side only spawns

East side only spawns were an idea by Hicks to create an East to West gameplay but as the map evolves and becomes completed spawn locations will change this is common knowledge

op balota

OP Balota was only a thing for the first month of alpha and was changed by the east side only spawns you criticize

speculation about the implementation of project zomboid features

How is this mismanagement when all he did was reference other games for inspiration in the game that was still in a design phase? This is a way for users to relate to an idea or concept.

the ever present attempts to combat (quoting rocket) "the kill on sight mentality"

Which attempts to "combat KOS" do you consider to be mismanaged?

Rocket breaking the mod and giving it to R4Z0R to fix (which he did). 

Rocket ended his development on the mod when he was hired by BI to create a standalone DayZ. You expect him to develop both?

Rocket himself said to Eurogamer - That risk-enabling role is what Hall offered to DayZ, both as a mod and as a standalone game. But eventually, he says, the risk-taker - the grenade - is a “bad person to have” in charge.

Which is why he's stepping down and putting people in charge that he feel will complete the game to his vision.

You realize the fact that he realized this and then defused responsibility, makes him a amazing leader and is a total contradiction to your point.

So you don't think its mismanaged?

 

Great! Neither do I.

[Judopunch 523]

No I dont. 

Then we are going to have a problem. Because I cant think of a more clear way to point out how hilarious this discussion has become.

Yes it is not currently mismanaged. *hugs*

[jigglymuff 2]

That is in no way agreeing with you. You really don't listen to anyone that disagrees with you at all. Do you really even understand what you type or do you just smash your face on your keyboard?

It was never mismanaged. 

 

Unless you believe Rocket planning to step down when the time is right since the Alpha release equates as mismanagement.

Well how do you intend to code lua?

[Baker. 1484]

Goodnight my DayZ Republicans. We shall discuss further after I sleep

[dromagewok@hotmail.com 164]

I respectfully addressed your points. It's a shame you couldn't do the same without quoting me and editing it to favor your opinion. I just wanted a friendly discussion.

[jigglymuff 2]

Funny how you have to change a quote to make it sound like they agree with you
