RAGE

[zachzilla11@yahoo.com 7]

RAGE, that is all this mod brings to me. Yet for some reason i keep "trying" to connect. and then play for 20 mins. and then CTD due to some BattleEYE BS. Seriously, this mod is awesome, but i feel nothing but hatred towards it right now. who else feels RAGE and hatred towards this mod right now, even if you love it.

*Facepalm*... really man? Did i say i wanted a satirical response about my post? no i wanted people who Love/Hate this mod right now to post there rage. that is it.

This is an ALPHA. A game yet released. They are having server issues right now. So, that being said... a moderator needs to lock this pointless and reckless thread.

Disrespect not intentional but man up. You're one person out of the 50,000 players who plays this. You and anyone else that feel like they need to make a thread to "vent their rage" are ridiculous. We have like 10 posts of this today, should've just posted on one of their threads. I just think it's so "spam-like" to make these type of threads because there's at least 5 a day. If I were a moderator, I'd start deleting them awhile ago and make a "Post your frustrations here about anything" thread.

But YES, I do love this mod and I do try to connect despite the servers not loading all day long. I wouldn't say I hate it, considering it's an alpha and this is the first time since I've started playing that the servers have been this skewed.

You know what, i get its in alpha, but when a mod becomes this popular this fast, you don't sit around, plodding your feet about fixes or shit, you start working hardcore, i'm sure the guys working on this are doing so at a reasonable pace, but the fact that the main server has not been upgraded or upgraded enough is just...silly. patches come out at a reasonable pace as well but with this sudden burst of popularity comes new found responsibilities, such as making sure you can keep up with the new found player base, and the fact that, please correct me if im wrong, the head dude, Rocket, works for BIS, or worked for them, kinda means that even if mod is free in the end were still paying for it, no?

I hear ya (about hating it, but loving it even more). I'm still trying to get my head around the perma death thing. Why even bother gathering everything just to die (as in life, but this isn't life sooo...)? But it's really not perma death you repsawn anyway...just without everything that took hours if not days to gather. I hate that shit so bad, but I love the game even more for some reason. I live for long periods of time though. But it's becoming tedius running for hours (or what feels like hours) and then getting somewhere with no loot, tin cans, or no enterable buildings at all. I think he even said he didn't put too much thought into loot tables so I dunno...Maybe I just need to learn how to rp better and start thinking of different ways to play. Hehe. All I know for sure is I love the shit out of it and will continue to play for a long time to come.

So fine, i get it, ill just post constructive criticism, unless "its in alpha" is all ill get, if thats the case, then it should not be an "Open Alpha" ive played alphas, some are in alpha some should be in beta stage. this mod right now is some were in between. still if you open it to the public and then dont prepare for it properly, whos fault is that?

---

I will say this, all i have received from the community is mindlessness and unthinking "loyalty", and the fact that "The game is in alpha, noob." i get it, but still, one week ago, all i had to deal with pretty much was the random BattleEYE crash, for what ever reason, but during that week this mod has skyrocketed! which is great, really is. But the fact that the mod team seems to not have planned for this is...annoying, to put it lightly.

Ok I realize you are upset. But I've been playing for weeks without major incident. Just take a breather, go play tetris or something for a bit. The Day Z team is kicking ass and is doing this after their REAL jobs. So to give them grief that they aren't working fast enough is a bit harsh. Their mod team isn't a hugely funded one to my knowledge, so easy there.

This is a free mod, chill. Maybe the Day Z Dev team will change it to a closed alpha that only mature players will have access to, per your request. Clearly having it an open alpha is just too much for a community to understand that they're testers and not players in this.

Do you understand the meaning of the word 'entitlement' Zach?

Because you don't seem to understand that you've got none.

[zachzilla11@yahoo.com 7]

Yea, my main issue is this mate, when you go public with anything, there has to be lots of planning, lots, and you have to go out with your best shoe forward, and you also gotta be ready to man up and say, maybe this is not the best idea to go public. My second issue is this, everyone claims this is a free mod, thats BS, its a mod from someone who works/worked at BIS. the guys who do ARMA. so quid pro qua, your in fact paying for this mod. so yea. i did expect a bit more professionalism out of the mod. thats it. im not going to post anymore. see you in game or not.

Your bad-posting is a cancer upon these forums.

Go educate yourself about the meaning of alpha testing on Wikipedia.

Oh, and also...

:getout:

[zachzilla11@yahoo.com 7]

Hammond, i make an exception for you my friend, simply put you are all that is wrong in today's gaming society. you believe that because a person raises valid complaints about a game/whatever they are a horrible person. and there for should :getout: and quite contrary to your popular belief i do know what alpha testing is, and why its normally kept closed, but for some asinine reason, most likely to stir up some more sales for ARMA 2 t ohelp fund ARMA 3, the mod team released to the public there "Alpha" mod, and then the player base, nasty bunch of nasty, decides to jump on anyone willing to say "hey this isnt quite right" with "This is an alpha noob!" and expects them to comply like that to the rigid un forgiving player base that is here. so yes, "Hammond", how about you go think about what you said, realize your being a prat for no other reason then mis placed loyalty, and should grow up and stop being said prat.

Everyone just watch how you speak to each other please. Keep the forums friendly.

I'm locking the thread - while some may understand your feelings, there are plenty of forum sections and other threads which cater to your opinions and discussion.

Cheers.
