The same Rocket who added to the steam description something along the lines of Do not buy this unless you are willing to support the game in development and willing to handle serious bugs and issues?
Oh wait, he forced you to buy it?

Did he say he would drag his heels with updates and patches, I have supported it but after a while I expect more, from where they were with the mod to now being so far behind I think is awful and now they are playing catch up.
Did he play on everyone's love of the mod and just cash in on it's popularity?
Oh wait I'm not allowed an opinion am I

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I simply don't share yours.
If Rocket was looking to cash in quick he would have released dec 2012. When the mod was a very hot property.
I have followed the mod and standalone since the very beginning. Rocket has worked his a$$ off to make the game he and many others want to play. Best advice is to leave it and come back to it in 6 months or a year and see how you feel then. It doesn't meet your expectations, fair enough, but perhaps your expectations were too high.

Haha, thread delivers every time I come in here... Rocket and his "development team" are an absolute joke, the only thing they have done right is brainwash a ton of fanboys to religiously defend absolutely anything, no matter how absurd or amateurish or down-right embarrassing it is... Just by writing
"Yeah, it's terrible, we know it is, but if you want to buy it anyway then don't say we didn't warn you"
Cut to Rocket HQ a few days into the Steam sale:
"WOAH, guys... they're buying it!!! I can't believe it... they're ******* BUYING IT?!?!"
If I had paid to "test out" and "be a part of" the development of DayZ stand alone, I'd be even more infuriated than I am, but come on... what are you guys a part of? If the developer are barely doing anything then you're contributing to nothing... Is it rewarding going on at them day in day out when you know you might be waiting weeks to even have your reports acknowledged? Or to have them outright ignore massive critical problems with the game at every turn?
What would I want? Nightlies... like every other reputable development (and many FREE open source ones at that) has provided since, err, forever... I'd want little (sometimes very little) and often... I'd want better communication from the developers and a clearer insight into what the heck they are doing with all that cash... Not just a couple of piecemeal incremental half-assed feature farted out by whatever lazy dev over there drew the short straw to "give them something then so the fanboys can cream themselves over twitter announcements and pretend this vindicates everything"

Good call. I was just about to waste 3 hours downloading all the ARMA 2 pack and DAYZ. Breaking Point is great.

Ill come back to this in 6 months, Between now and then ill play wasteland 
For someone who doesn't own the game uncle rufus you certainly seem to have a lot of hate. Why does it matter so much to you, I think most of us are happy with what we payed.
I'm more than happy to give rocket my £19.99 hey I would have only spent it on drugs, beer anyway. It also cant be cheap to climb Everest and Visit family In NZ.

GIBURROWS hate to break it to you my friend, but the majority of people who bought the game are happy to have paid for the alpha. If this is not the case, then please point me towards all this hate. I read the dayz forums and reddit most days and I seem to have missed this enormous outpouring of hatred towards the alpha
yea I was wrong about no one playing it , so it must have just been a bad time.
over 35 people were on the 50 player UK server last night.
sucks how the spawn point is really bad though , should be more central to the map.
or the spawn point is different for different people? I always spawn on a beach at the bottom right corner of the map near a little church on the coast.
there's some other good non zombie mods as well I think one is called "wasteland"
I can't wait for epoch mod to come for arma 3 though. GIEF NAO!
OH WOW! was just going to check how many people are online! and there's a new update already! I only just downloaded one yesterday
yea I just spawned at a different part of the coast after dieing.
looks like I'm miles from anywhere though.
here's a screenshot I took last night
was about 10 more zombies off screen as well
I'm not, wish I held back on the payment to a later Alpha build

Are you mistaking hate for frustration? Despite what I say I do want the game to succeed and I hope Rocket et al manage to prove me wrong and turn it into something amazing, because the idea is fantastic...
It matters to me (and hence frustrates me) because to my eyes they appear to be wasting the great concept by developing it very poorly, and having the gaul to charge so many people so much money on top of it... Combined with the fact that I am fairly familiar with working in a software development environment so it irks me when I see it being done badly like this
I'm glad you and so many others don't feel ripped off, I just hope that I'm wrong and DayZ SA doesn't totally flop, making you all think "Well that was a waste I can't believe I spent £20 and it never got finished" and then next time a truly hardworking and talented dev team put out an early-access alpha you think "Nope, not going there again"... (there's that frustration again!)

Is there an app or website that has a detailed map of the SA version of CHernarus yet?
Bean Coast app for iPhones was/is invaluable, it allowed you to search for pretty much anything, from deer stands to ponds to fuel points and barns, all on your phone.

A thats much easier to read. I agree with you on some points. I don't agree on others. Anyway its only £20 if Dean doesn't want to grasp this opportunity with two hands thats his own fault.
If this game bombs it will be the end of him as a serious lead on projects. If it carrys on like it has he will have a licence to print money... Its in his interest for Dayz to do well.
