***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

I was going to say, that was one of their main goals... I'm sure it will be better than the mod!

Anybody know whats happening with the Day/night time cycle... hope to god they dont do what they did in the mod... I want to be forced to play at night time! thats what Zombie apocalypse is all about
 
There are/were much bigger and deeper problems than cosmetic and building problems.

The SA won't live up to a lot of peoples expectations. Why? The same reason they don't find DayZ enjoyable any more, the initial random encounter element has grown old.

This image actually looks pretty good:

I'm not expecting everyone to like it, just hoping I will :)

Nice image, absolute hate the fact he's added Payday faces... It seems he's reaching a little now, trying to steal idea's from different games! Really really put off by the mask.
 
So Rocket finally addressed the burning question..will standalone be out before 2014. He said it will hopefully be out before 2014. Dont know what this will translate into but it really is becoming a saga now. I am embarrassed to say how many hours i have put into the mod and how many hours i have spent following the development of sa, but even I am getting frustrated with the dragging out of the alpha release. Dean has dangled the carrot continually with the fan base, with one contradictory statement after another regarding release window this year. I have no issue with it being released in 2014, I do take exception to, what is seeming to be, a steam of mis information. Say nothing at all if it is all subject to change.

The fact he was willing to stream the game live means its ready to go, just clearly having problems with stability. However as DG pointed out yesterday they seem to have a stable server with 50 people online!

Funny thing is tho, any money when it comes out people will be like "He should have just been honest and said its not finished and pushed the release back".
 
Seems i've really pee'd him off haha.

This has gone a bit crazy!

my original point was not to make this a game breaking point. It was only an observation. We've only seen a few video's and 1 stream. I could list 1000's of things i like/dont like.

While others might think "arguing about masks, REALLY?". Yeah its pretty pointless, but when practically EVERY poxy screenshot/video is of players wearing poxy payday masks then yeah, why shouldn't we voice our opinions. Judging by peoples responses, the masses dont want everyone running around in pay day masks, dont get me wrong if it were a rare rare rare spawn then fair enough.

Best response was, rags and balaclavas are a better option than endless payday masks... This isn't Warz or Payday!

HELL a much more pressing point in my opinion is day/night time...Surely it has to be a universal time across all servers?

HELL a much more pressing point in my opinion is day/night time... I think it MUST be a universal time across all servers!

i do think it will be within 4 weeks but as you say it will be a pure alpha and buggy probably like arma 3 alpha which was a mess ( still is :D) as long as you understand that cant see a issue.

many of us who are core dayz players know the deal/score and will play through them :)

Yeah but question is, how is he going to determine who these "core people" are. Will there be a huge price for standalone?

Personally i'm not to bothered what state its in, i'm just looking forward to being part of the process of Alpha, to Beta and so on! Dayz Mod was the only ever game I actually took note of the patch notes!
 
Yeah no DayZ player would ever moan about bugs etc LOL. But I guess people who have never played DayZ before will plus many people do not understand about alphas/betas and will moan like hell. Most of us here though have been in many alpha/beta tests to know what we are getting into.

Look at BF3, when the Alpha came out people were starting to cancel their pre-orders... Just utter morons! Like I said, If I spend week gearing up in Sa and for some reason I lose it all, I wont go nuts as its just an Alpha!
 
Why does it suck? genuinely interest to know your opinion/reasons?

The SA doesn't look at all good from what i've seen, to be honest, i think it looks a bloody mess, the game is meant to be a standalone, yet from everything i've seen, it still looks like a mod, and a poor one at that considering the time it's taken, don't get me wrong, i want it to be great, but i just can't see it happening now.

DUH because DG says it sucks!!

But yeah lets move on before the thread gets locked AGAIN because of DG
