Mookie (original) 799 Posted December 3, 2019 For God's sake BI, give people some notice of updates. Your customer care has gone to crap. Now all the server owners and mod players are thrashing around. I'd say it's "unbelievable", but no, it's perfectly believable. There has been at least one thread here in the past 48 hrs asking when the update was due and your mods didn't even bother replying. Does anyone from BI even read this forum any more? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaVerick_GDZ 148 Posted December 3, 2019 For a week, but especially since yesterday the signs were pretty clear for a release today for anyone keeping up on the forum, social media and steam I think. Communication wise they are on a right track again with at least one guy providing insight, but still much room to improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Signs" may be good for rune-readers such as yourself, but sadly fail the rest of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I can remember there never was a notification beforehand for updates, just some vague aims for releases. You could count on wednesday as patchday for some time, but even that changed. Looking at your "joined date" I don't have to remember you about those classic surprise friday stable fuckup releases, do I? Also you don't have to be a rune-reader or whatever. The date was posted on console stores, not that you should trust that stuff 100%, but there was no objection from BIS this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Vague aims" and "count on Wednesdays" don't really cut it I'm afraid. As it is, the ten people I regularly play with, and I, can't even get into vanilla. Stop defending it pls. This is a cock-up.

This doesn't stop me from reading stuff I'm interested in, even if my only gaming plattform for DayZ is PC. They stated that release will be for all plattforms at once so this information was important. Also i just fired up DayZ, Chernarus and Liviona worked just fine and our servers are running flawlessly for now. I don't have any text in the main menu though for whatever reason, but thanks to DZSA and the ability to join directly on a server, this isn't a main issue for me. Not defending btw, just stating facts and countering unnessessary bitching. Also, as I already said, we are more or less on the same side concering communication, it's been worse for the last few month though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BI is a commercial enterprise, with a responsibility to its customers, who have paid for its product. No one, with the possible exception of those who work for PR firms it pays to reply to forum posts, can actually make its product work right now. Apart from your rune-reading, suggestion in one post that PC owners read another forum, and then admission in the next that they should have been reading this forum, why do you think it is so difficult for BI just to...tell its customers (be they players, server owners, or both) when it plans to release an update? Why is that so difficult? Edited December 3, 2019 by Mookie (original) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are to busy giving out warning points to people who defend BS on this forum. BS people included.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
