Anybody else happy for Tent/Vehicle bugs?

I've been seeing a lot of forum posts about fixing the alpha. Mostly people saying "I quit", "This game sucks/is terrible because of bug xyz, Fix xyz or I quit/boycott", or similar negative comments.

I know it can be hard not being able to play the game how you want, but here is my take on why the bugs are actually a GOOD thing.

1.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I'm glad the Developers have their priority of adding game features first. I do not want dogs, infection, temperature, and all the other goodies planned to STOP every time a tent breaks or a vehicle spawns wrong.

If theses bugs are easy to Fix, do you think rocket would not fix them immediately? Yes, dayz is a game you like, but it is even more than a game to Rocket. He has put a lot of sweat and blood into it. If it were the best path to pour his effort into it I have faith he would have done it. That doesn't mean it won't get fixed, but that they are probably working on it BUT also mostly working on DayZ standalone. Likely this is the correct choice.

2.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Devs have already said some of the biggest bugs, such as duping, inventory errors, hacking, and broken characters are not fixable in ARMA II.

Therefore, the faster the game goes standalone the sooner we have a Better dayz. I'd rather not play as much now and get a much sooner stand alone than have a perfectly patched alpha. Again, I think if a perfect alpha were easy Rocket would do it for us.. as it is it sounds like it would take a terrible amount of effort and I respect him pushing to make DAYZ better even if it hurts for now.

3.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That said, I think with current duping and inventory bugs, having no tents/vehicle saves actually helps the game have less cheating.

Vehicle and tents not saving stops the dupers. It doesn't stop the hackers, but DayZ standalone is the only thing that will really help with hacking. Therefor focusing on developing dayZ and leaving alpha bugs behind sounds like a really good choice to me. The sooner the better.

IN SHORT:: I can't wait for standalone and I really don't care if dayZ alpha is buggy & I think you should feel the same way.

I applaud the developers for fixing what they can but understanding that if they get stuck on these huge alpha bugs then we'll never have the dayZ we want. I have faith that the developers are not stupid and care about the game more than any of us do.. and that consequently they're doing the best they can.

please stop posing urgent threads and threats over and over for the same bugs.. play the alpha and enjoy waiting for the next big build to come out :)

Right now tents and vehicles don't work so just don't use them. It's not a game ender, Nor is fixing them going to fix DayZ alpha.

I agree, the stand-alone has to come out pretty quick though, the hype will die down and the hackers/bugs will make people move on to other games. They will only remember Day Z for the bad(thats what people generally do). I am gonna quit Day Z pretty soon because of the bugs. They should get the stand-alone out fast(bug free) and add all t he pretty extras after. Like the underground buildings and dogs. So basically, get stand-alone out fast and easy to play, add pretty extras after.. If it doesn't come out in few months I ll probably forget all about it(unless I read that Day Z standalone is completley amazing.

if anything the current inventory bug allows every player in the game instant access to all gear including hacked weapons...

if you play on a server long enough you come across camps. i have a notepad with dozens of camp coordinates. if i die i can be fully geared in less than an hour. if i die again i can repeat this using the exact same tents because each time the server resets all the gear in the tents reset as well. watch the Twitch streamers. they all go to the exact same camps every day to load out. the camps always have the exact same stuff as the day before. if this bug was fixed once stuff was taken from a tent it would be gone and people would actually have to play the game as intended.

i personally hope all tent/vehicle inventory is wiped clean if and when the "fix" patch ever comes out.
