Rocket Leaving BI and DayZ. "I feel like DayZ is a fundamentally flawed concept"

[iLLusioN]

I get more of a vibe from this that he was put in a management role and just not cut out for it. Some people are great at their job but just terrible managers. I see it all the time at work...fantastic technician gets promoted to E-6/7(TSgt/MSgt) and suddenly drags down the whole shop because he's been thrust into a management position but just isn't any good at it. Like I said, that's just the vibe I've gotten from what I've read...take it for what it's worth.

The flawed excuse sounds like a crock 'o shit to me. The game hasn't even been out that long ...are you telling me that they (he) did not or could not see that it was flawed from the get go?....


......and the people who defend this type of thing is exactly why EA and Activision can operate the way they do.

From day 1 I have heavily questioned Rocket's ability to run a development studio. He was an ideas man. Not a talented game developer. They have done nothing but fall short of deadlines and use a backwards development path. I look at Roberts Space Industries - (Star Citizen) and that's how you develop a game.

Rocket was incompetent from day 1, This has been proven in all aspects of content delived. It's just sad it took this long for him to get out of the way and let people who know how to build a game go to work.

BI just needs to get a solid base game down and let the modding community tune this game into greatness. The arma2 modding community has managed to keep dayz relevent for 2 years now in this manner.

I like sources way of thinking...I'm now going to attempt to exploit it.

Hey Source, I'm creating a brand new bagel shop. It's in alpha right now, but you can go ahead and place your orders for the bagels. I have many different flavors that I want to add, but right now they are just plain, but some do come with sesame seeds. Send me 50 bucks and I will get you the alpha version, consisting only of the raw ingredients for a bagel, like yeast, flour, etc...(some sesame seeds).

For this, I'm going to let you have a free visit to my bagel shop when it opens. Please send me your paypal account ASAP, and I will get you the bagels.


(after source sends me his money, I will send a few more updates for him on how to mix the ingredients to make the bagel, except I will never tell him how hot to make the oven and then get out of the bagel business....after all...I'm a food artist, and it is my right to do so.)

First you'd have to start making bagels in a Donut shop, and have other "artists" mod on your donut.

How about we play a game for 3 months and pretend we were in it since the beginning?
How about we forget what DayZ was like when it first released (Much less complete than the SA currently).


How about we exploit your way of thinking?

I'm Kraker, I don't play games unless someone walks me through everything. Then after about a week into it.. I'm an expert.. And since I have sooooo much play time in a game that I don't own, I can, with much expertise, criticize the people who support, or belittle those who have hope. Oh wait.. There's another thread on TPG in which I could exercise my right to post useless comments. Better take advantage of those opportunities less my opinions get in the way of my oh so know it all attitude.

Watch it. Getting a bit personal in here.

I was simply pointing out that your logic in what you sated was flawed. If you can not see that you have been duped by a guy halfway around the world, I feel very sorry for you.

I played the shit out of DayZ when it was a mod. I REALLY was excited for the SA to finally release, but I'm smart, and held back...my suspicions were confirmed, and I came out smelling like roses. No need to be all butt hurt source, you will recoup your money somehow.

They'll release it, they have to. People paid for it.

[Kraker Jak]

Actually they don't, read the terms of service for alpha games on Steam
