I got a crazy run around from the 911 operator and the cops about why I didn't do CPR until the coroner confirmed what the cold extremities but warm core and blood settling in the underside meant.

 I would really appreciate the ability to step over dead bodies.

Also, why the heck are they wasting valuable time on writing status reports when the game is still literally unplayable?  SMH.  The need to hire more people to do this kind of stuff.   /s

Or hire people who will work themselves to death because the love of their project and the passion to see it running at full capacity is at least as important as collecting a check every two weeks.

Oh right, I think they stopped making those people in the early eighties.

Just the checks got smaller ... the passion endures as they stand together working sleepless (imagine heroic music playing)

I kid mostly, I've only ever worked in small teams and if someone is being a pussy you cut them down, they either man up or walk and make room for someone who will. Thankfully I've never had to work in a corporate environment, I would be completely unable to deal with the "politics" that go with that many people working on one project.

This SR was actually a bit better formatted than the last one, and packed with nothing but good news.
That possibility of the servers coming back online any moment makes me rush to get household tasks done before new patch drops.
Then I can again move on to playing the DayZ mini-game of smashing the enter key, guilt-free.
These last few updates are just too good to not play for at least five hours a day.
Though I just have to stay somewhat ambivalent for the time being.
Those frames, there; those frames.......

I just bought Overwatch (downloading) - I need something to entertain boys & girls on twitch while waiting on 0.60. :)

In the meanwhile even though my reflexes is horrible slow with my 40 years - that`s why I enjoy Dayz Standalone so I can conceal my weakness somewhat with good strategies and timing,

and using the terrain and positioning for increase chance of success in Dayz combat. 

 

It helps to have a military background as well about cammo & tactical movements, but most guys are green after 10 minutes of play, hehe. ))

I was like "he bought Overwatch? And are people still playing that?"

Then I realized, haha.

Hey, just grew some tomatoes and pumpkins on .59. Surprisingly that was actually kind of fun. Might have poisoned myself with a bad pumpkin though....knew I should've stuck to ice cream.

Sounds more like my job although my lack of diplomacy is useful from time to time. I'm a Scheduler so i got to kick back when everyone in the processline means to be the most important case.

Still nothing?? Wow! Im getting really nervous now!!

[ParaB 114]

There was patch for exp when I logged into Steam an hour ago. Still no exp servers online though.

And "I'd like to take the time to thank the over 196,000 unique players who have contributed to the testing of experimental branch build 0.60." wow, just wow! Didn't expect so much people to try and play 0.60. That is a great sign, well done developers. Keep it up and you will have the playerbase back in no time, no sweat!

Yesterday, as the announcement came, there were 1k+ people playing the game on Stable. The 196k are the overall amount of entries to servers. A player is unique each time it's new on each server. "Keep it up and you will have the playerbase back in no time" :DDD veeery optimistic my friend. The player base will be rising only when the game's performance will be finally acceptable and most of the bugs/glitches are gone, untill then - max 5-10k players on weekends, that's very, very low.

Perhaps you lack the ability to comprehensive reading. He says 196 k unique players, that means 196 k unique players across all servers. Gathering all the data and make a count of all the unique IP addresses which connected to the servers isn't that hard. I suggest you learn some things about game development, networking, IT in general, etc. before coming here and spewing shit again. You're just embarrassing yourself right now.

Nope, wrong. These were NOT 196k people who tried the 0.60 experimentals. It is a total of 196k connections to all the experimental servers. I am not embarrassing myself just because YOU said so lmao :DD try harder IT expert. 

[Girth Brooks 570]

So since .60 was dropped the servers were only hit 196k times? Does'nt really make sense, as they were testing log in and need infos for bugs. And also this game has sold over 3 million units, so maybe basic math isn't your forte? The hype for this game was ridiculously strong for .60 .

what part of "196,000 UNIQUE PLAYERS" do you not understand? You are just drawing your own conclusions and redefining the meaning of words at this point.

Provide proof that they really meant "196,000 connections" or gtfo. You are a walking logical fallacy. (by the way, that was rhetorical, as I'm quite sure what your "proof" would consist of... some weak, irrelevant or semi-relevant data, and more conclusions stating your opinion as though it is fact.

Maybe you should stop being ignorant and accusing people for lack of math or whatever you just had on your mind because that's exactly how it looks like, Girth and IMT. 3 million units, nice! but 1k playing, is there really anything else needed to be said? Maybe you will finally realize that the fucking math has nothing to do with FACTS? I've been trying to get more and more people into DayZ, you know what the most people tell me? "Dude this game sucks, I rather buy H1Z1 or even Rust". People don't want to play a game which gives them cancer. Why do you need to be such a dicks just because you love this game? I love it aswell but if you're really trying to tell me and others, that everything is being done exactly the right way, that the devs. are doing their job just right... :DD mate get back on the ground of reality seriously. It is not the case. 

Again, as the announcement came, I looked up and did it twice just to make sure I see it right - 1.0xx players, just over one thousand. What does it tell you? 3 million people bought the game but only 1k is playing and these 1k are people like you, protecting the game and ignoring any constructive criticism or just negative feedback. There is much more sense in giving negative feedback rather than playing a fanboy and saying "yeap, everything is juuuust fine" and you know it exactly. I will even stay nice and add - the 1k players, as I saw the count it was around midnight, so yeah, there are ofcourse more players throughout the day. In fact, let me check! 4.360 players.

edit: 4.4k players so sorrey, a whole (almost) hundred more (lots of sarcasm)

Since you've only been here barely a week and don't know shit, I am hardly a fan boy, and we all bitch a fair amount. But we are here because we support it. You are here to whine and waste peoples time. I'm glad you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo informed on the inner working of BI. Seems like you have all the official numbers from their testing etc.

Seems legit.

IF you can provide some REAL numbers and not just a bunch of dumb shit then we can converse about it. Otherwise nobody cares.

I can do it exactly the same way, provide the proof that these 196k are 196k accounts or gtfo :| Can you? No, but I am more than sure if they would bring out the data, you would see overall 196k unique connections to all the experimental servers. That is how it works in every other game when it comes to "unique players" and it's nothing new. But even if that is supposed to be really the case, 196k out of 3 millions units sold, pity. It is not my job to mix the game with shit together, the devs made long time ago themselves and it is not my opinion, it is the opinion of the almost 3 million people who are not playing the game at all. 0.60 is a HUGE hype and that is the exact reason why "so many" people tried it out. When other games are getting the hype because of whatever the cause is - you see a much larger amount of players. So even if these were indeed 196k players... mate... :)) not enough.. and now the very best part - I don't give a fuck and it is not my job to create an image for this game which is different to yours, all I did is to give one dude a hint that the real numbers are always different and if you want you can inform yourself about "unique players" in games. Rage more, peace.
