Mod reached it's peak... See ya in full game

[jdblair5 170]

First it is lack of communication, and now it is sporadic communication?

Some people will just complain I guess.

Keep it up, you will be a mod in no time.

[dallas 5195]

Guys I know I'm suppose to create my own unique thread, but I figured since this thread was already high on page one, I could use this to inform everyone, that I think I'm done playing DayZ for tonight.

I'm not 100% sure, but do not worry. I repeat, don't worry, if I decided to play some more tonight, I will update this post.

Okay?

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Keep it up, you will be a mod in no time.

If being able to apply common sense and argue using reason and logic qualifies as being a candidate, then yes, your quite right.

[grndctrl 28]

Lol cmon guys they are still selling copies of Arma for this , they dont give a shit , its free and in alpha mode , big fkn fake excuse , where in 2012 , and they cant fix SIMPLE things .... I love the idea of this game , but since they are just another money leaching company , im atta here fuck rocket . This game is now trash , its unplayable with a bunch of hacking babies.

Well if the game loses someone as clueless as you, it's probably better off. Also, the DayZ mod didn't make any money, the company that made ARMA2 did. Rocket isn't just rolling in piles of cash as some seem to think.

Gave me a good chuckle, most of you now realize rocket doesn't care or are still defending him. Silly white knights.

if he didnt care he wouldnt complain

its like publicity, the only bad publicity is having no publicity.

look at paris hilton and kim kardashian, publicity made them rich yet people complain about them all~~~~~ the time.

the last thing the stand alone need is having no publicity because this entire game was born and supported by word of mouth. and lets face it bohemia interactive wont do campaigns like activision's cod or ea's battlefield that literally match and surpass in cost compare to presidential campaigns to be massively effective.

No publicity? Did you not see that Rocket has been traveling around, visiting events and doing a bunch of interviews? Doing the occasional update on the forums won't help the mod/game all that much as only a small percentage of people that play the game are even on the forums and why would they need the publicity? They already know if they like the game or not.

Matt Lightfoot updated everyone about the upcoming patch yesterday.

Oh I'm supposed to read through 130 pages of that thread he said it in? And all he gave was a vague ETA that they are going to miss by 2 weeks? Wow, yeah I feel updated... not.

Edited August 30, 2012 by SillySil

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

I didn't read 130 pages of the whole topic. I just happened to check it. Do you need a big red phone in the corner of your room that rings every time Rocket farts?

[octopos 26]

For the people that cannot wait for nothing, lets explain some thing:

1. It was already told in this forum that devs are flustered about the texture bugs, about hack and every thing. Even the glitch in soldiers body is disturbing they night. Code software using a Interface(aka devs cannot have access for all the calls in code) is a piece of shiit. This is a MOD, and something on it cannot be address direct by this MOD. So it's a hard work, harden than stay sited on your chair yelling shiit. And now they have half of time to code for this mod.

2. Rocket have many appointments for now on, I'm pretty sure he prefer to code than talk about the game for many shows, events and etc. So he's probably tired and have to code again and again.

3. Standalone will be a way better than this mod, so if they are using time to make it possible, great.

4. Even if dayz is really unplayable, you can play in private hives, in other maps(lingor) or even downgrade your game and play in other regular hive servers (WILL FUCK U STUFFS!). Or you can play another game.

5. Even if you buy ARMA2, will not paid devs billings, so if you're unsatisfied with this mod, wait a little more. Don't fell like rockets is shitting on your money, or he owe something for not release updates like when he was completely dedicated for this mod.

There is a search feature in this forum, it works. That is how I found out he posted.

I tend to look for answers first, before complaining though.

And then of course you prove a point. You see the update, and yet complain once again.

lol

[gywidion@msn.com 80]

Lets also not mention the fact I posted a link to that very post by the Dev 3 times in this very thread you are posting in.

A big red phone in the corner of your room that rings every time Rocket farts? Uh, what? No seriously where are you getting this from? Why can you people only think in black and white? Either it's no communication or... whatever you made up there about that phone. Can't you think of something in between? Like I don't know, a pinned, locked thread on the forum with a list of issues they know about and/or work on? Wouldn't that fix a lot of moaning and duplicate threads about the same thing? Wouldn't that show the community that devs are still engaged in the mod and haven't abandoned it? Because staying silent shows everything but engagement.

And seriously a red phone ringing every time Rocket farts? Is that what you call common sense, reason and logic?

You're weird dude. Seriously. A oneliner with a vague ETA in a 130 pages long thread is not what I had in mind. Your mind is so black and white it makes me dizzy. So if someone would demand water and you'd give him a drop, you'd consider the deed done? And how do I even find that thing if I don't know who and where to look? Should I read every page of every topic including those that have over 130 pages?

Lets also not mention the fact I posted a link to that very post by the Dev 3 times in this very thread you are posting in.

So? I don't understand what you linking it 3 times in this thread changes.

[gywidion@msn.com 80]

I find the answer to the ETA just fine. Just because it is not what YOU wanted means nothing.

If I only had a drop to spare yes. And Just because they demand it does not mean I will give it either. I am not nor are you or anyone else entitled to shit.

You gonna say if I demand you give me something you will? Yeah right.

[Faceman Peck 93]

These are my new favorite threads.

See yuh!

+1 agree and beans for you

I don't want to sound rude or anything. And don't take it as an attempt on an insult or something like that. It's a serious question. Do you have aspergers? Or any sort of such kind of thing? You just seem to be constantly missing the point.

It's not that I'm whining even tho I've got what I've asked for. I never got it. A vague ETA in an obscured place once every full moon is not communicating.

About the water... you missed the point entirely. It's like, someone asks for water, you give them a drop and when they said it's not what they had in mind you tell them to stop complaining because they got what they wanted. Do you not see the problem?

And again. I'm not demanding anything because those people have no obligation to me. I'm saying that they are not communicating which would fix many issues. Showing that the mod isn't completely abandoned among them. Because you know, I was pretty sure that they've stopped working on the arma mod until you've showed me that post. Which is impossible to find unless you know exactly where to look.

[MoronToTheKore 57]

Hey, OP, buddy, here's the deal.

You're not especially interesting to anybody here. After two billion threads just like this one, we're all pretty jaded to the whole "I QUIT" thing. The reasoning is always the same, the arguments are always the same, the attitude is always exactly the same. Nobody gives a fuck anymore. And nobody feels the need to re-hash everything we've already said those two billion times. So you can fuck on off out of here, but I can almost guarantee you'll be fuckin' on right back once standalone comes out and it's awesome.

[cyanyde 165]

Wow. You know.. The biggest problem with this mod isn't the bugs nor the hackers, and it's definitely not lack of communication. (I've lost count of how many interviews rocket has done recently) its the self-entitled little children screaming fix it or I'm quitting!

How about you trying doing what you've been given access to the mod to do.. Test it!

The point isn't that the recent info on the new build was posted on Page 130 of a giant thread. The point is that with 30 seconds of searching you can find the info that you want.

Once the stand-alone is released, the mod will pretty much be open source. Wait for the full game or stfu and play a different way. I've experienced the majority of issues myself but because I understand where things stand, I accept that this mod is nearing its end as far as official support goes. I don't try to play it as if it were finished, I continue to find new issues to report and play for fun. It's nice once you realize that you aren't meant to play like it's finished.. You stop raging when you lose gear and just play more.

Trust me. The final version of this game will be totally playable and it will attract even more players because it will be better supported, easier to install and the development will have full access to the engine. It sucks, but the reality is that some of these bugs probably won't be fixed in this mod, but they will definitely not take long to fix in the full version.

Tl;dr be patient and be thankful you were even allowed to test this "proof of concept" before it was given a green light for full-scale development.

So, the problem with this mod right now its not how the hackers, cheaters, script idiots ruins everybody's gameplay, but the "children screaming "fix it or I'm quitting!".

And, "I've lost count of how many interviews rocket has done recently", oh that's nice, so.. whats the point of this forum? not even 1 dev of the mod bothers to say a single f****** word.

Test it? and how do we give feedback? every time someone, ANYBODY, makes a thread about certain bug, the horde of rocket fanboys come to say "hur hur its an alpha"

What if I do? Is that problem? Do you think I am unable to communicate because of it? Bad on you there bud

It's not that I'm whining even tho I've got what I've asked for. I never got it. A vague ETA in an obscured place once every full moon is not communicating.

No, it is your lack of ability to look for the information. On the forums, in interviews, and Twitter information has been given. Just because it is not what you expect makes it no less valid, others do find it valid.

I am sorry it is not enough for you. Problem is Rocket has tried in the past to be more exact and it causes more problems when goals are not met on time, or features are changed. He is also busy right now. He has pointed out the 7.3 patch was delayed due to feedback at gamerscon. Game development is not something to put a time table to. When you do you get junk.

About the water... you missed the point entirely. It's like, someone asks for water, you give them a drop and when they said it's not what they had in mind you tell them to stop complaining because they got what they wanted. Do you not see the problem?

No I do not. If I offer you what I can spare it is all I have. If I have only a drop I have only a drop. I cannot give you more. You cannot bash someone for not giving more than they have.

As that relates to the mod and updates, I feel they have given what they can. If you do not agree, well what can you do. I think on that point we reach an impasse. As we could argue it in circles and never get anywhere. :D

And again. I'm not demanding anything because those people have no obligation to me. I'm saying that they are not communicating which would fix many issues.

While they have not abandoned it, They are less focused on it, for a reason. Standalone > Mod. We have seen no evidence to the contrary. While It would be nice to get all the info in one spot, it is not going to happen. I'd prefer they hand it over to the community sooner rather than later to allow both to develop together and share ideas. My hope is Rocket will do this after 1.7.3, lets cross our fingers.

[Gumpnstein 133]

With the number of players decreasing and the lack of any communication from DayZ staff - I mean seriously, writing a post takes 10 minutes, which I am sure the devs cannot sacrifice! God help those poor souls.

Anyhow, with the recent patches the mod started going downhill - the peak was 1.7.1.5 - everything after that gradually degenerated into the mess that we're in now.

Not sure what's going through Rocket's head, but now he seems to be high on some sort of hallucinative quoting Dark Knight, talking about removing bandit and hero skins - AGAIN.

oh but it's all ok, they're adding DOGS. Nothing can go wrong with this plan, NO SIR!

Oh forgot to add the game is almost unplayable, but I guess you all know that already.

The hacking is out of control, with people streaming left and right, but does BI give a shit? Nah mate, they got your money and they're planning on keeping it

The peak was really at 1.7, each patch after seemed worse and worse. We are near the end of the mod more than the beginning of the downside of the peak. Hacking broke the peak, graphical glitches pushed it further down and no communication choked it to death. But one good patch and some hackers getting bored will prove for a fun ride towards the stand alone.
