james_foschi@hotmail.com 19 Posted December 22, 2012 Anybody now the latest news on the standalone? I would love an update on its progress and estimated alpha/beta release date if they are releasing it in alpha/beta. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crusader_111 62 Posted December 22, 2012 If there was any more information then it would have been announced by Rocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
protectadin 21 Posted December 22, 2012 rocket said he's overwhelmed atm because of everything (2 devs in prison, warZ situation, what'll he do about the development, people spamming him asking him about standalone release date). it's best to wait and see, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be released prior to 2012 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Bear 17 Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Good things come to those who wait... To quote Shigeru Miyamoto"A delayed game is eventually good; a bad game is bad forever."I believe people should really back the fuck off Rocket and his team. From my experience as a professional actor luckily I have the easiest of creative development in my opinion anyway. Film scripts that are good can take up to years followed by extensive PreProduction Filming etc we all know it takes time for things of great substance to be made. No this isnt a movie what I am getting across is these guys have immense pressure with little funding I have been apart of the Indi film scene for some time and when money is lacking things may take longer and unforeseen problems arise like any form of creative art. Even AAA Studios encounter problems which they remedy by throwing money at which DayZ Dev from my understanding do not have the luxuryAt the end of the day I take my Hat off to Rocket and Co have a little empathy people secondary December is a crazy fucking time of year for people professionally and personally Thirdly Blood Pressure is no joke and to the adults on here with high risk or mentally strenuous jobs im sure you will appreciate his situation.I am an impatient guy myself and hanging for this but if we all show a little maturity and patience it will be well worth the wait go for a walk or find something to do for a few weeks before we know it we will all be dodging bullets and Zeds in Cherno which i look forward to doing with you guys :) Edited December 22, 2012 by Big Bear 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
son54 78 Posted December 22, 2012 WarZ situation is in his favor currently, I do understand how he feels though, everyone counting on him and getting thousands of messages and such. He made a reddit post about just shutting down at home and just working on small parts of dayz because he is physically overwhelmed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wtf A Rabbit 0 Posted December 22, 2012 Anyone can estimate how much this will cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daze23 549 Posted December 22, 2012 you can't act like you don't care when the game is coming out, and then post in this thread. it seems there's a lot of cool guys acting like they don't care, while at the same time hammering F5 on twitter, tumbler, reddit, this thread, etc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NukeInbound (DayZ) 5 Posted December 22, 2012 Anyone can estimate how much this will cost?It's gonna be cheap,around $15 in Alpha/Beta and $30 when it is released Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LgndaryWarrior 0 Posted December 22, 2012 Are the new maps apart of the actual game from the developers or are those people just adding onto the game. If yes the are they gonna be in the Standalone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barrett_killz 229 Posted December 22, 2012 One thing is clear, that it's going to be released in Alpha first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole dev team likely would have been better off pulling an Id-software and just saying that they'd release the game when it's ready as opposed to putting a deadline on it. As you can see, people get antsy when deadlines are approached and even moreso when they're missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofultramar 0 Posted December 22, 2012 It's gonna be cheap,around $15 in Alpha/Beta and $30 when it is released I would guess that the final version be $30, as much as Arma 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soapmak3r 677 Posted December 22, 2012 Dear Rocket and DayZ dev team,I'd absolutely love to eventually see a revamped version of the Seattle map from Take on helicopters converted to work with DayZ...That would be epic. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixelwarrior 6 Posted December 22, 2012 hey there! someone said this and it got me thinking."If it was coming in the next week there would be some kind of info on Steam and probably from the developers too"is this true? if dayzSA was coming out this month there would be news on steam? but theres nothing.in the dayz confirmed thread,in "facts" they said it was coming out in December. so there are 9 more days it could be released.i hope they did not lie to us and push it back into 2013.

luthor 0 Posted December 22, 2012 It would be nice just to know if the Alpha going to be released or delayed, instead of leaving us in the dark. 9 days left, it's not a matter of patience anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlickShoes 21 Posted December 22, 2012 People need to realise the only reason folk are annoyed is because rocket said "if everything is going fine you will hear nothing, if there is going to be a delay we will communicate it to the community".Thus far the game has not been released and we haven't been told about any delay. We are all aware that the December release was very ambitious but why not just say "sorry guys we couldn't make December, it will be available some time in 2013."
