this mod is in beta...

[SwitchBlayd 32]

The OP is actually right guys. The sole difference between Alpha and Beta is that a Beta phase is roled out to the public. Which is what Dayz has done, Alpha is for in house developer testing I believe someone posted that on "rare" occasions Alpha is released to the public, this is true, except that this is not what DayZ has done, as DayZ is a mod and it did not release "the raw source code". Therefore DayZ is in beta, regardless of how many out of context copy and pastes you can find to prove me wrong.

[Vipala 32]

im sorry that you idiots dont like the dictionary definitions of the term "alpha test"

keep raging tho :)

ohh the dictionary says so so it must be Trooo ! loll

You can also argue beta is a feature complete build of the software. Which DayZ isnt. At the end of the day does anybody actually care? I mean come on...

[Mastabuds 32]

Lowbei just STFU and run dude. Your're brinining a hachet to a gun fight man.Let rocket do his thing and get all the input/output he needs for the game. Once he is "done" with that then he'll have you're beta or whatever the fuck you want to call it out just for YOU!!! Just be lucky it free. i paid 30 bucks for arma 2 not dayZ...So rant on all you want!!!!

[RunningScared 4]

OP either decent troll or total faggot

either way hes a fucking dumb cunt

[Lowbei 33]

rofl at all the ragers

game is beta, and its not bad for a beta.

and yorkie, me and my pals played chernarus for months and have had characters with 50-100 murders at a time between getting nuked by hackers, we stomp most survivor groups while we are solo, and as a group you dont really stand much of a chance unless you are hacking. but feel free to rage at me scrub, you obviously suck at this game and/or have no idea what you are talking about if you think lingor doesnt have more pvp than cherno. thanks for the beans kid

Lowbei is the kind of people that should not play Dayz imo. So much ignorance.

[Lowbei 33]

Then you should be talking about ARMA2, which still is in beta either way.

[Sephka (DayZ) 51]

I feel like this guy is just trolling us all. I can't imagine he's actually that thick headed.

This is a public alpha bro. Most games don't have public alphas, true. DayZ does. Hell, technically this game isn't even in alpha yet. It will truly be in alpha when we're playing it on it's final, stand engine. Right now it's just a mod that Rocket released, basically saying "Hey, I have this awesome idea for a game! It's gonna be something like this. What do y'all think?"

[Lowbei 33]

its beta, alphas are in house tested, no matter how much you want to alter the definition to help your current need

its not a bad beta :)

and dont worry, i dont mind that you morons are raging at me about this, its quite entertaining to hear a flock of retards try to claim that a dictionary is wrong haha

[BL1P 252]

Doesn't bother me what the stage is called to be honest.

Why does it bother you so much ?

[Lowbei 33]

i stated already why it bothers me, because hacks will be present until the game is released, and probably even after. thus, its annoying when people state "its alpha" in response to people stating that the official servers are unplayable due to hackers mass nuking servers on a regular basis

i hope that you read it that time, because im willing to repeat myself once or twice, but it gets old :)

[Inception. 9443]

How do you feel about this?

[Jachim 22]

i dont know by what logic rocket stated that this mod was in alpha... but newsflash...

an alpha test is : (ill give two definitions from different dictionaries, you are welcome)

a first test of an experimental product (such as computer software) carried out by the developer.

or

an early test of new or updated software or hardware conducted by the developers or manufacturers prior to beta-testing by potential users.

getting so tired of people responding to threads with valid complaints about massive issues like hacking, with "its alpha"

hacking isnt going anywhere, battleye is failing hardcore, as it has been for months, and until the game reaches standalone, we will continue to see them. so when exactly is the beta test again?

oh right, we have been beta testing this game for months

not complaining :) just tired of hearing idiots respond to valid points with "its alpha"

Yes, we should listen to the OP. He knows his stuff when it comes to alpha content. He's made several game^H^H^H^H opened a dictionary and posted that as if this game somehow follows the typical medium...

Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, Day Z.. indy developers.. Starfarer is another example, all indy developers who don't have the resources release alpha versions for public testing.

You're just a twat.

[Lowbei 33]

ahh you are right, they should redefine alpha and beta testing to be whatever fits your current situation lol

you are a moron :) but i wont hold it against you, its morons like you who bring my people packs full of food so we dont have to go to town, thanks for the beans brah

[shiromikan 217]

Keep it civil.

[Stunt_M()nkey 26]

All the people that are arguying over this are all PLEEBS.....!

THAT IS ALL!

[Lennsik 176]

No, no, no. Let's hear this out.

Lowbei, give me a full on logical, plausible, and effective workaround to all these hackers that would make this current "alpha" into a "beta" so you can properly play. On that, I want to see what your thoughts on fixing the hacking problem would be.

Now mind you, it has to be plausible and effective, meaning us players still are able to play in a timely manner without trouble. And...go.

Meaning: Why, in your apparently higher state of mind, do you KNOW that this is a beta? Cited proof and documentation with it.

And so, you say this mod is in beta and insist of hammering it into the peoples heads. All you're doing is making yourself look like a fool. It doesn't matter what stage the mod is in, alpha, beta, it doesn't matter. If it were in beta and people complained about somthing, others would reply "It's beta", as if that would be better than the current standard answer "It's alpha".

What's your point with this thread? This mod is in fact in alpha stage. Late alpha stage, imho. Not beta, that's for damn sure.

Have you read what beta testing means on that dictionary? Please copy and paste what it says on this forum.

Thanks.

[Lowbei 33]

its rather simple

in house testing = alpha

public testing = beta

these are the definitions

ill alt tab from hunting survivors every 30 mins or so to see how this is going.

my prediction, more ragers crying at me because they dont like what the dictionary says and want to redefine it to help their case
