i don't mind if people have issues but some will just repeat the same **** 24/7 for the next year.

one guy in here for eg went on for a year on about rocket and how bad the game was and he had never even played it ! :confused::D

so yes if you have issues share it but its a alpha bugs are going to be common.

as for fanboi only fanboi im a fan of is me cause im the best okay :p

well so far I've only played 4 hours and I'm just reporting on my experiences.

I guess avoiding ladders from now on :S

I had the yellow chain link thing though at the time so the server must have lagged a bit or something.

are all the chain links because of steam ddos?

What you are going on about means diddly-squat tbh and people really don't care. We know what he meant and can live it, seemingly you can't but you need to move on.

I hate the whole spelling thing on a forum. It is not a job interview or an email, sometimes we just want to type and post fast to get on with other stuff. I do love the Nazi spelling police though.

Exactly. I'm usually quite thorough, but I missed one. I need to write 100 lines :p

Trivial things keep trivial people happy. :D

People will repeat the same stuff if the devs continue to not fix them, what do you expect?

I can't quite understand through the lack of any punctuation if you're talking about me in that second sentence :confused:

It doesn't mean diddly squat at all, it was within the context of what was being said. Someone was having a moan that the player character in DayZ stops sprinting past a certain incline, which is totally realistic and reasonable as due to ankle flexibility, people can't sprint when their foot is at such a sharp angle.

People cared enough to have a moan about it, and Neil made claims that he can sprint up mountain sides, without any context, you get flat mountain sides, which was the whole point, it doesn't really mean anything with describing the incline, and I simply don't buy that it was a steep incline as per above.

It's all relevant as it's about the game and the game mechanics that they have decided to use.

If you have to put special effort in to writing, then you're doing it wrong. If you learn it properly, it becomes second nature and then you don't need to use the excuse of "derp de herp it's not an interview or email."

It'd be different if I had said something derisory about it, but I didn't.

Did Rocket not say once that once PC release is out of Beta and on retail they are thinking of a console release?

Not special just not giving a single care about people like you who talk about hills over and over.

stop replying to him guys so we can get back on topic please, i came here to read about the game...

I'm talking about the game, that was the whole point, about how you stop sprinting when you get past a certain incline.

Are you just seeing things I haven't posted or something?

Good stuff, at this rate of bug fixing though it will be a PS5 release.

I think people are taking the state of the game way too seriously.

It's supposed to have been re-done from scratch (assets not included, at least meshes of the whole map).

That, and the fact that they will be constantly working on builds that are available to pre-orderers too.

I really don't see what the issue is.

I think most peoples "issue" is that the game is in a FAR worse state than they expected it to be, most people (myself included) at least expected the game even in alpha to be on par with the mod.

I've been playing a fair bit over Christmas, and as it stands it barely feels like an Alpha for the mod, let alone a standalone game.

At the current rate of development I don't see the game going gold in the next year. To be honest I think Rocket just buckled under pressure and released it for early access WAY too soon.

Don't get me wrong here, I enjoyed my time playing it but there are FAR too many issues that should have been fixed before it ever saw the light of day.

I agree with what you're saying, however alpha really is appropriate for the state that the game is in.

I do get the impression that he was forced to release it early by Bohemia with him handing it over to them (I'm not sure what the arrangement is between him and Bohemia).

However, I think people are looking at the wrong areas to base their criticisms on. They are looking at the mod, which was made using a full fledged game, whereas with the stand alone, they are making the whole game from scratch.

A lot of frame work has to be done to get it to a state where they can start implementing the sort of stuff they have in the mod. It's why they split off from a mod in the first place, as building it from the ground up allows a greater degree of freedom when it comes to implementations of things.

It's more efficient to implement something from the base up, than it is to botch it into working by building on something that was designed for another use, but can be hacked to work in a different way.

That is where you failed, they are using the arma engine, hence why all the arma bugs exist. They have redone a few things but they have not rebuilt everything from scratch, if they had then use your brain.

I said the game, not the game engine. They aren't the same thing. You can make a game from scratch using an existing engine, developers do it on a regular basis with the Unreal engine.

I didn't fail, we all know it uses the Arma engine.
