So sickkkkk. Someone post screens
Ew. Doesn't sound like the developer has high regards for consoles.
Doesn't give me confidence, after suffering from some obvious Master Race ports that got the redheaded stepchild treatment on consoles. Valve's Counterstrike:GO & Overkill's PayDay2 for instance. No patches, no DLC, etc.
Will be giving this a more critical look-over before thinking about picking it up on PS4.
By the time DayZ Console Edition shambles its way to consoles, The Last of Us 2 will probably be an option.
1. He's kidding.
2. Do you even know what DayZ is? Last of Us isn't even the same genre.
Keep in mind Rocket has some old Alienware laptop. Streaming/Recording is actually quite intensive.

That doppelganger bug is terrible but hilarious.
No not yet. It's something they want to implement further down the line.
Ah, cool. Can't wait to see people trying to ride through a city and someone shoots their horse / them off their horse.

so good
Scope is broken?
Objects have location based damage now. Makes you think before shooting someone as the gear can get destroyed.
Thanks!

Loved the almost everything shown in the stream. Funny that rocket and co. are KOS bastards.
Afterward played some wasteland, this version had a fast rope mod so we tried fast roping into the enemy base. I was flying the heil and fucking stingers where coming from everywhere. Started using the flares and bailing out. Get hit in the tail rotor start spinning. Fortunately I have practiced that situation before
manage to get going forward using more flares as the fucking missiles keep coming, get a short ways a way and run out of fuel. Start doing the emergency landing inside the city, bleed off all the speed start spinning again right as were about to land (crash) i run of of countermeasures, radar tells me of another missile coming for us, at this point i thought we were fucked then the missile hits a near by minaret and we land relatively safely and everyone who didn't try to bail out lived.

So people happy now? Thought the hype would die after the streamers thing xD
Rocket was right to stream today - showed off a lot of new things, even more than planned. Announced a lot of future features which is a but worrying (focus on now)
Based on the stream how long do you guys think till it's 'out'?

Littleworm has some of the best stories but damn him for not getting enough footage. He's had, in my opinion, one of the greatest DayZ moments, that I was lucky enough to be a part of, and didn't capture video of it. It goes down as an all time top five moment in DayZ for me. You better get your act together for the Alpha, Ian. RECORD SHIT.
I could see it coming out before the end of Dec. if they can fix some of those major issues/glitches. But you never now, a fix can cause something else to break. They may get lucky though.

Also talking about great moments
Was playing DayZRP earlier we returned fire on a player who flanked us - I knocked him unconscious with a RPK shot and his body fell into a PKP shot which would of missed instantly killing him.

Depend how many bug he consider he need to fix to please those 20% people who wouldn't be happy with the current state of the game.

If I had my way it'd be fuck those people xD
Rocket needs someone to say fuck those guys to him. He can't please everyone
Also post above - nope.
Browsing the Steamforums during an early access release will give you a headache and you will lose your faith in humanity.
The sale page is plastered with word choices such as, 'extremely early,' 'bugs,' and 'missing content,' yet people will take to the forums and ask for the developers heads.
The doppelganger issue seems to be the only real biggie right now (in terms of barrier to release). IIRC he said hoped to tackle it on Monday. It's been around for some time so it shouldn't be assumed that they'll just be able to wave a wand and fix it... but he did say that it was easily reproducible, which is what you want when you're bug hunting.
Short answer is NFI. Optimistic answer is some time next week.

I mean I guess it really depends on how hard it is to crush the remaining bugs he feels need to be fixed, on top of what he plans of doing for the holidays. I imagine he would work through the holidays, but I don't know if he wants to force his team to work through them as well. Im gonna play optimist and say two weeks max. Though I also have a gut feeling Stimpack or Nampad might have won my giveaway contest.

That dupe bug is a oldie, I remember it being there almost a month ago so yeah. It IS very reproducible though, all they have to do is figure out how to fix what's causing it.
I mean there is lot of small bugs but there isn't anything I'm aware of that is game breaking. Servers are coming up (as you saw in the server browser in the stream)
Won't be long now, maybe ill finally be redeemed

I found that pretty funny, he might have been joking. I see his point of view, if you finish development on the pc prior you're not shackled down by console limitations.

Small thing but how did people feel about the new M4 sounds? They are pretty recent, I love the new bullet crack but feel it sounds weak from the shooters perspective

Its decent. I really hope the sound overhaul is relatively high on the to do list. Sound has always been one ArmA's weaknesses. Once I played ArmA with the ACEX sound mod. *drool*
Browsing forum will always make you loose faith in humanity.
I'm just a little bitter at that comment that Rocket made during the stream when he pretty much said 80% people would be happy with the current state of the game, but the other 20% would complain, which is why they need to wait for some of those bug to be fixed before releasing the alpha.
Not only I don't understand why you would want to 'punish' ( probably not the right word ) a majority to try to please a minority who : 1/ will complain anyway ( for whatever bug that will still be there, the lack of content, etc... ) 2/ shouldn't have those complaints in the first place ( /cry /cry there is bug in an alpha, how dare they release an alpha with bug !! )
