DayzSandBox 157 Posted July 27, 2012 Dude is taking risks that are all design based. This is the best social games experiment in history. The fact that he has a test base of over 30,000 people playing the alpha. It wouldn't surprise me if the number is pushing 80k in total if not 6 figures.According to frontpage the number of unique players is, as of Datetime.Now() 887,660 ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockie1976 39 Posted July 28, 2012 Communist Propaganda in DayZ. Very fitting considering its location and how DayZ works.Location... lol, America is the most heavily indocrinated nation next to North Korea, ie secondly most brainwashed people on earth. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
U.B.C.S. Ravin 326 Posted July 28, 2012 Location... lol, America is the most heavily indocrinated nation next to North Korea, ie secondly most brainwashed people on earth.You do not understand what I am saying. In DayZ there are picture of Stalin everywhere in cities. Having a WWII style communist Russia Anti-Rocket picture made would be PERFECT.I am not here to argue the semantics of political spectrum or debates. You are thinking WAAAY to much into the comment, Bro. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayers 28 Posted July 28, 2012 Why dont you all head over and try a warfare server. Careful, though. Some players have a 10 year headstart, so dont be expecting to pwn right away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForcefulCJS 16 Posted July 28, 2012 Sandbox zombie games have been a nerd fantasy for years, and we owe Rocket for finally bringing one to fruition. However, Rocket lacks both the talent and the vision to allow this sub-genre to reach its full potential. While some of his quotes can be inspiring, the choices he has made in deciding the direction of the game shows that he doesn't understand the full implications of those decisions nor how to properly create a "brutal" survival experience. His only hope is that a stand-alone game will bring enough revenue in to bring aboard more talented developers - if the team stays as it is right now I anticipate someone with more ability and resources to come along and finally "get it right". Count me among the ARA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Count me among the ARA.While I understand what you're saying, I believe that Rocket's method is good. He's using the alpha to it's full potential by testing features and ideas in real time, which incidentely will evolve the perfect game by the time it goes gold. Rocket cannot please all players, because each player has different ideologies of what makes the perfect simulation. Rocket can only see the evolution of this game as a democracy, and add or remove features in a manner which abides by the interest of the majority. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aussiestig 681 Posted July 30, 2012 I can't help but be on Rockets side here. He's only a designer for a game company, and yet he's came up with the idea for the most successful mod in history.I also feel like BIS doesn't back him nearly enough. 920,000 unique players means nearly $3,000,000 in sales. To have this mod die off and become a dud come the day of standalone release would be a huge loss for BIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danthepianist (DayZ) 5 Posted August 1, 2012 The fact that one cannot criticize the mod or offer a suggestion without it being taken as a direct attack at Rocket's manhood makes me sad. I certainly am not anti-rocket because this mod rocks, but the RDF disgusts me. That said, these propaganda posters are pretty funny :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
