Probably wouldnt hurt if Rocket communicated a little bit more...

[Oddzball 70]

Love the game btw, even with the hacks and bugs and whatever.

But seriously, I just wanted to say this;

MAYBE, if Rocket would make an official post on the hacking issue we could put this to rest?

If he cant do anything about the hacking, why not post that it wont be something he can do anything about till standalone?

If he CAN do something about the hacking what would it hurt to post saying something was being worked on?

Seriously wouldnt hurt the guy to talk to the community a little more.

No matter what he or anyone does or says, people will still make 133452500 whine threads a day. Without researching first, like yourself.

Here is a quote for those too lazy to click the link:

"It is going to take time to fix these issues, and security issues in particular are not transparent. DayZ, BIS, and BattlEye do not comment on the security issues for reasons which I really hope are bloody obvious. That means things often happen completely unannounced, and work is done all the time, there will be no big fanfare for dealing with the security issues just constant work and change."

probably hard for him to address the 10 QQ threads popping up every minute... and even if he made such statements.. he would be addressed with "what about this, or that, etc etc". Although i am with you on some more clarification, i am afraid it would just be a "we are working on it" post... so nothing would come of it.

You could just use Google to find one of his many Q&A sessions and interviews. He pretty much covers every question that gets asked on here every 10 mins.

[crusader_111 62]

He talks to the community as much as he can but just remember him and the team are working hard on getting the new updates out to fix the most prominent bugs that affect everyone really badly, i.e the graphical artifacts. Also remember this is a mod and as such they don't get paid for this so bitching about it will just demoralize them so just keep positive.

he only posts on reddit and 4chan. He also makes a lot of interviews with people to make up for the lack of communication on the MAIN forums.

Not exactly easy to search these forums and go through all the garbage. Rocket has an announcements and news page for a reason. Maybe he could use it.

No "Dev Tracker" the show posts function on these forums is horrible.

But thanks for linking the post.

Eh, when a thread is locked for "one hour" and three days later it is still locked there is a communication problem of some type.

[twiloz 2]

I just wish he'd update the release date for the upcoming patch so me and my friends know when we might be able to play again.

He has posted here 1359 times. If I was him, I would have sold the idea to EA or some other dicks, then posted Goatse pics all over the forums before pissing off to southern France to live in a pile of babes and money.

Rocket cant do anything "accurately" against masses of hackers, he is not battleye.

A while back, he did do something to stop massive amount of "rage" hacking, this is how he felt afterwards. It resulted in many innocents being excluded from Day Z, theres just not much to do about it except exclude classnames, which he already did. Another "wave" of this incident, would create much more rage with the current playercount.

I know its a mod, and I know he doesnt get paid for it, BUT I am pretty sure with something like this which has been exploding on the forums, I would think he could spare the time.

I work 10 hours a day but I still have time to come on here and post. It takes 5 minutes.

I never understood why every mod I go to people always act like the Devs dont have time to post because they are too busy. (No offense to any of the Devs)

Hey man, thanks for the post, I feel bad for rocket now. When was that posted, and where?

I think it's clear he's fed up with a lot of the crap on these forums. can't say I blame him. he makes a thread about a pending update, and the thread is full of people complaining about hackers and all this shit that has nothing to do with the patch notes. the 'general discussion forum' has this issue as well. there's specific forums for reporting cheaters, bugs, servers, etc, but everyone just spams this forum

[jordy@sigux.com 44]

Why would he? First of all, I can imagine he and the other staff members having enough on their hands and not having time to post a thread about every single little thing they do. They don't get paid, you know that right? They are doing this ENTIRELY for nothing, they don't make any money of DayZ at all.

[lordopeth 274]

@Op-

Read the forums, would you respond to them?

I understand why developers dont read their forums..

If the server files were released so we could run our own, private servers.... none of this rage would be needed and Rocket wouldn't have to feel like an incapable pussy.

I guess the HIVE is more important than a working game that people can enjoy.

If you open Rocket's profile, you can click the 'find content' button in the upper right corner, then see everything the guy wrote. It's not perfect, but it's the easiest way to get the words from the horse's mouth.

there's also the rocket said thread that got stickied in this forum. i made it in the hopes of making his posts easier for the community to sift through. try ctrl-f in it and searching for any relevant topics. also, any suggestions anyone has for easier presentation are welcome.

Its not supposed to be a working game. And its not supposed to be particularly enjoyable.

Its a proof of concept alpha mod, of a possibly standalone game. 98% of the time, what we play now would never be released, it would be for internal testing. Rocket, released it instead and keeps releasing as he progresses. We are just lucky to play it really. Its a testing phase for him and his team.

Removing the hive, removes the ability to test backend systems that somewhat compares to a tranquility server, which Rocket stated he would think would be cool for DayZ. So if he removed the hive, sure you might be able to play a little better now. But the final release will be much more rocky, because development and testing capabilities were limited due to users complaining about an alpha, thats NOT supposed to be playable at all.

Yeah! That thread rocks, thanks for making it. I'll link to it from the question thread, I keep meaning to but forgetting.

Check it out people, some of it is outdated but it is still a very good reference.

[Bottlerocket 205]

And yet, they keep coming on here ... like zombies.... ironic, huh?

[cyanyde 165]

Everything you want to know about the current status of DayZ is in this interview:

He covers hacking, stand-alone version, the current update and how it's possibly going to become 1.7.3, and lots of other stuff.

Watch it, then you will have a good idea of what to expect..

Also, dogs that track animals and possibly other players, coming soon to a DayZ near you. ;)

not a problem! glad you find it useful. and yeah, it's hard to keep that information current as dayz is (or was?) an experiment and things are subject to change. i'm gonna dump some more time into it tomorrow and try to get things a bit more cleaned up as well as add some more quotes.
