thus_styles: yeah there was a lot of ASCII

RedRumy3: thats really him.

rocket2guns (4): the best kind!

Femuto: o jeses

Conductor of the Poop Train: There were also alpher centauri rockets.

a SKOLLIE: lol

thus_styles: here we go haha

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: lal

Bene: I reported him via Steam Hicks, do Group mods get a notification or is this handled by the Steam people?

Hicks_206: Yes, this is really rocket.

RedRumy3: ^

Hicks_206: Steam

PwnDailY: ^

Sir Frone: /grouphug with us

Red Fox Dead Fox: woo!

ryaaanz: Who's going crazy in voice chat :D

seinsin entered chat.

a SKOLLIE: hey dean, can i ask you a quick question?

RedRumy3: u can tell by his star.

rocket2guns (4): sure

Beat: hug

Conductor of the Poop Train: Oh yes. Grouphugs.

Red Fox Dead Fox: i think im going to faint

Conductor of the Poop Train: That's a thing.

Radioactive_Badgr: dean you sir are a boss

Conductor of the Poop Train: To help prevent rampant KOS.

Majoras_Mask: I am eating pizza.

Conductor of the Poop Train: /grouphug

PwnDailY: we should have a quick Q&A

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: top right corner

Tucker: ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ Alive Rocket SA Rebandヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

Charles: Is it yummy majoras?

Majoras_Mask: It is.

Ridders!: Q&A will consist of "GIEF SA"

Trevor: If someone were to produce a good quality model that includes all it's counter-parts, would you add it into the real game if permissions were given, or is there to much legality in doing so?

a SKOLLIE: ive read about the possibility of making the lowered weapon animation the default one, anything new about that?

thus_styles: hows the onPlayerConnecting bug going?

rocket2guns (4): not much legality involved. its possible. but im super fussy

Trevor: If it were rigged correctly and such.

rocket2guns (4): the optimizations got reverted and are in their own branch being fixed now. will be merged back once done

DonnyTrump: lol

Sir Frone: so many quesiotn jfc, its like 1 in the morning

Sir Frone: give him a break

Trevor: Fussy as in the stye of the model or the rig?

Bene: [Question] Are the DayZ servers going to support IPv6 natively?

KingofMosvik: have you fixed the friday bug?

Red Fox Dead Fox: dean what should i eat for dinner, mexican or chinese?

rocket2guns (4): rigged models would be hard to do, you need a very specific layout and mesgh

PwnDailY: Will there be a way to track people? ie. footprints, opened cans, firepits, other means of tracking?

rocket2guns (4): we actually have only one artist doing most of the rigged stuff

Hicks_206: Always mexican

Jesus Christ: Funny how once I get into a chat with Rocket, I forget all my questions

Ridders!: Rocket have you ever considered giving us a bit more update on whats going on as often as possible as far as bugs / optimisation goes. While I understand youre trying to keep quiet i think it would shut a lot of people up with just a bit of an update on how things are going..

Daambi: has the price structure been announced yet?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Pwn, you can see footprints in latest devblog.

rocket2guns (4): again, I'd just be happy with it not crashing and good server FPS

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: soundboard bugged :(

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: GIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SA x

a SKOLLIE: ive been toying with the idea of some sort of stamina system for your weapons, the longer you keep your weapon raised the more tired you grow; which will force people to keep their weapons lowered until they expect some sort of gunfight.

I think this would kill a lot of the kill on sight mentality from a lot of people as players wont come across as hostile until they actually do raise their guns. What do you think about that?

KingofMosvik: is it ragdolls in sa alpha?

Trevor: Well, I guess I'll be as excited to see what mods add to the game in wise of content.

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: :(

PwnDailY: really the september blog has footprints

Conductor of the Poop Train: Skollie is genius. Make that a thing.

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: Should we be hyped?

PwnDailY: ^

Ridders!: always hyped

RedRumy3: before rocket says anything make sure noone from pc gamer is here >.<

Trevor: No.

ryaaanz: Lol

Rathalos: lol

Jesus Christ: The hypetrain doesn't stop

Trevor: Oh wow, this circlejerk.

Otherguy: lol Red

RedRumy3: lolol

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: nice thought skollie

RedRumy3: http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/economy/emoticon/8bitheart

Conductor of the Poop Train: Raised weapon + sprinting + Insane weapon sway + no aim down sights for limited time. OP Balancing

Ridders!: Lighten up trevor :P

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: i like that idea

rocket2guns (4): we plan to redo the existing stamina system at some point, same time as we look at weight

KingofMosvik: is it ragdolls in sa alpha?

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: HYPE HYPE

Conductor of the Poop Train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsCVEV6oXAA&list=FLVWDQrI2N_2NYG9de32JbjA

thus_styles: I dont think there are ragdolls in alpha

Bene: To pick up that weapon holding stamina thing: I think it would be enough if you can't shoot as precise if you're aiming for a long time

rocket2guns (4): ragdoll is in active development, but no idea when it comes through into alpha

a SKOLLIE: alright awesome, hope all keeps going well

KingofMosvik: ok

Ridders!: Rocket have you ever considered giving us a bit more of a regular update on whats going on as often as possible as far as bugs / optimisation goes.

Red Fox Dead Fox: Will there only be two types of longguns available at alpher release?

Conductor of the Poop Train: And you can't just borrow Arma 3's ragdoll, right?

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: Rocket2Guns troll of the year

Jesus Christ: Does it make much sense to not be able to run infinitely in what is essentially a hiking simulator. I know we're aiming for realism but it just doesn't seem practical; just my thoughts

Sir Frone: im so excited for the new melee system because i didnt think they would have it in alpha release

Keith disconnected.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Not a super computer scientist, hence why I'm asking if you could. Might be obvious for others.

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: So Dean, in the alpha we will get:

RedRumy3: worst game released this year is what im currently playing.

KingofMosvik: zeds

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: uups wrong key

LeErOy NeWmAn: ok i stop spamming, thanks rocket2guns for being a nice person by keeping us informed about how the developpments is going.

ryaaanz: ^

Bene: I finished the singleplayer yesterday Rumy, it sucked. :D

Conductor of the Poop Train: Best game released this year? Project Zomboid. Sorry Dean <3 :(

RedRumy3: yeah i didnt even install single player yet

RedRumy3: multi just runs horrible

Hicks_206: Project Zomboid is awesome.

RedRumy3: hmm

xiiam: agreed

Sir Frone: tried installing demo for zomboid but it doesnt work

Red Fox Dead Fox: Yeah Dean, the community really appreciates when you come and talk to us even in small things like this. Thanks again.

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: Does PZ have Multiplayer?

Daambi: what kind of guns can we expect on release?

Jesus Christ: implying they cared about PC in the first place

a SKOLLIE: i heard rocket speak in some video about how they hope on making things harder; he mentioned that (currently) once you figure the game out, it becomes kind of easy as you can just run from house to house and loot them etc but that they plan on removing that completely. I hope this is still a thing!

Roxyn: Will the Standalone feature pancakes?

LeErOy NeWmAn: who made zombies sprinting in project zomboid?

KingofMosvik: when are you testing with 50+ persons on server?

Conductor of the Poop Train: I started following that game while I was still going to god high school. Now I'm a working man. Super weird.

RedRumy3: lol

Hicks_206: Daambi: You can expect.. rocket..TWO guns..

xiiam: so hicks already plans for SGZ integrated into dayz SA?

Hicks_206: Sorry, sorry.

Hicks_206: That was bad.

rocket2guns (4): once we get the optimization merged back in

RedRumy3: lmao

Daambi: oh hickes :P

rocket2guns (4): we'll test with more players

Daambi: hicks*

ryaaanz: Its now wednesday...Daily Hype begins

RedRumy3: nice

Conductor of the Poop Train: Two guns? Why not Zoidberg?

[BoL] Fantatierchen: (question) I'm always (pleasently) exited when I'm about present the work I have put a considerable amout of time in to some kind of bigger audience... how's that with you right now?

Bene: a rocket and 2 guns... enough I guess

gangster79: will there be any cooking in standalone?

Tucker: Any idea when you will get it merged back in?

anticz entered chat.

Red Fox Dead Fox: So just Mosin and AK on release?

Charles disconnected.

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: m4

PwnDailY: m4 ^

Trevor: Does your artist use Maya or 3DS Max for modeling/rigging?

anticz: does the hype train pass here?

Red Fox Dead Fox: ah okay

a SKOLLIE: i can confirm that project zomboid is awesome, and itll just keep becoming better, for anyone who wonders

Red Fox Dead Fox: And one pistol?

Trevor: Or does he just use blender

Ridders!: Rocket have you ever considered giving us a bit more update on whats going on as often as possible as far as bugs / optimisation goes?

Sir Frone: You may derail this weeks hype train rocket, but there is always next week.

PwnDailY: what is the pistol gonna be? a .45 or a 9mm

Conductor of the Poop Train: PZ + Online Multiplayer Support = Social Life Fucked 4 Life

KingofMosvik: and the week after that one

rocket2guns (4): I dont really get to think much about the audience or etc... its just all work work work nowdays

Jesus Christ: Ridders, wouldn't that just take time away from development?

Ridders!: Not really

Femuto: Hey Rocket, whats you're favorite part of Cheranus thats been changed so far?

Ridders!: a 5 minute post

CamP entered chat.

Ridders!: like he's doing now

rocket2guns (4): im sure once its all over i'll look back and reflect on it

Ridders!: just giving simple update

Beat: there is no dead end to our lines of the hypetrain the are going on infinte

CamP: Oh hey, who let rocket in here?

rocket2guns (4): I probably like the swamps best on cherno

Jesus Christ: Ah i thought you meant devblogs and such

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: STOPPPPPPPPP THE MUSICC idiotiiii xD

Conductor of the Poop Train: It was Hicks. Blame him.

rocket2guns (4): the new swamps are awesome

Narxis entered chat.

RedRumy3: hicks locked him out first

Sir Frone: super awesome swamps confirmed

Conductor of the Poop Train: Which was hilarious.

RedRumy3: was like this is my group bitches

a SKOLLIE: im gonna spend all my time in the swamps i think

RedRumy3: and decided to let him in after

Bene: I hope they're not like the ArmA3 Altis swamps south of the salt lake :D

PwnDailY: multiple swamps, more than just the one near balota?

a SKOLLIE: or maybe thatll make me more prone to deceases

thus_styles: what % of buildings are enterable on the new map, is it 90%?

rocket2guns (4): honestly I havent actually played ArmA3 since I left the project

Conductor of the Poop Train: [Question] Are all planned diseases in yet, or will there be more added overtime?

Daambi: im going to be a dayz swamp monster

Trevor: ArmA3 is unplayable for me

Ridders!: Rocket have you ever considered giving us a bit more update on whats going even if its just a few sentences on a reddit post to dispel and hype that builds up over the day? :P

Jesus Christ: Will the infamous ghillie suits be reimplemented?

RedRumy3: omg

a SKOLLIE: breaking news, swamp monster caught on tape

Trevor: SP, fine, 70 frames on ultra, MP? Fucks my computer in the ass.

Bene: Well they're just lower water and some tall grass... and they call it swamps ;D

rocket2guns (4): yes, but then the media gets all stupid with it

PwnDailY: i kinda want to hear about the future of weather / seasons

Trevor: MP I get maybe around 15 frames on low.

RedRumy3: see

RedRumy3: pc gamers fucking ruined it

rocket2guns (4): I try to put out just enough they dont feel its worth reporting

Jesus Christ: damn Trev

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: Dean, how many weapons can we expect in the full release?

Sir Frone: lol pcgamer how dare you!

Conductor of the Poop Train: Don't worry about the media. We will give you hugs. You don't need them.

G00SE_IS_L00SE: [Q] Is weather goin to play a bigger roll like rain flooding the swamps or need warmer clothing in colder areas and is pooping still goin to be in the game?

Sir Frone: /grouphug

CamP: Anywho, just stopped in to say I'm looking forward to trying out the alpha. Keep up the hard work rocket!

Daambi: rocket you can tell us .. we won't say a word ;)

Trevor: ArmA 3 has great performance in singleplayer, bu in MP, tis' really shit.

Jesus Christ: tbh I'd be happy with 3 weapons

Gabria[FR]: +1

Radioactive_Badgr: so i have been trying to follow as much as possible with your information @rocket2guns however ive been busy, [question] i understand that the zombies have better LOS pathing, however im curious if LOS and sound pathing are separate of each other, as well will environment effect how zombies use the sound pathing?

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: rocket i have a little question regarding the map editor. does the standalone require a new approach or are you guys using the editor for arma 2? just in case someone wants to go ahead and build a new map for SA

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: rocket2guns is not rocket.. jesus

Trevor: Rocket already said what weapons are in the game.

KingofMosvik: is alpha most likely to come out in november, december or next year?

Trevor: Yeah he is Cetic.

a SKOLLIE: he is cetic

Trevor: Check his profile.

Trevor: Hicks even said.

Roxyn: He is haha

PwnDailY: for weapons, I'd say focus on civilian stuff like rifles and shotguns

PwnDailY: prevents OP

seinsin: and rpgs

Bene: It depends... in A3, I get good mp fps on sa-matra's wasteland but horribly framedrops on any other mission :D

Conductor of the Poop Train: I can answer that Mosvik.

Conductor of the Poop Train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsCVEV6oXAA&list=FLVWDQrI2N_2NYG9de32JbjA

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: PDW

Ridders!: Exactly, ignore the media, they can say what they want but for the sanity and routines of everyone hyping in Dayz standalone pointlessly (including myself)

rocket2guns (4): no map editor for a start in SA

Jesus Christ: 45 hours on KSP defintely him

LeErOy NeWmAn: all i want is zombies

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: holy fuck, im in the same chat room with the person that is going to give me my salvation!

[BoL] Fantatierchen: well German gaming media seem to take very bit of information you utter and twist nit unitil it comes out as the exact opposite... gamestar.de is a fine example for that

Trevor: What was the program for the maps in Arma 2?

anticz left chat.

rocket2guns (4): lucky I cant read german then :)

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: Bulldozer maybe?

xiiam: LOL

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: k thank you

RedRumy3: lmao

DREISTER_ZERFEISTER: i hate gamestar.de

[BoL] Fantatierchen: i guess so :)

gangster79: should we expect alpha controls/animation to be more fluid or worse then in the mod?

RedRumy3: rocket when is starbound coming out!?!?!

Conductor of the Poop Train: It's funny how the gaming industry works. Rocket is technically a "celeb". But instead of smoking dope and f*cking whores he's famous for reinventing the wheel.

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: starbound? what?

xiiam: rocket are u gonna watch the semi finales for the survivor gamez this saturday?

Trevor: Haha, I get it.

RedRumy3: lol

Bene: Yup, German gaming media really sucks... even the more mainstream media like SPIEGEL got better gaming articles, even about you Dean ;D

a SKOLLIE: ive always wondered dean.. what kind of survivor are you, a bandit? a hero? :p

Radioactive_Badgr left chat.

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: that's a nice question

Sir Frone: Rocket are you okay with what Hicks said he will do to you if he finds you in game?

Jesus Christ: Dean do you still plan on catching herpes and buying a maserati?

Conductor of the Poop Train: I think a huge factor while Dean's succesful with his project is because of his accent. Anyone disagree?

rocket2guns (4): lambo, but a masertai would do fine

PwnDailY: I picture dean as a survivor, who does what needs to be done to survive

ShoopDaWhoop (chooo chooo Mofo): +1 conductor

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give StandAlone/ Beat: no maserati but a lambo

Conductor of the Poop Train: +1 Whoop

RedRumy3: so when sa comes out who will be running servers? devs at first or can we get dedicated server?

DonnyTrump: need online leaderboards - perhaps an api

DREISTER_ZERFEISTER disconnected.

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: maserghini?

dickvanboneman: hes playing dayz!

Tucker: If we raise enough money for a lambo, will you release the SA if we give it to you?

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: CHOOOOOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ridders!: wow rocket playing dayz :'(

rocket2guns (4): yeah was just thinking about an API

Trevor: Will VAC be in place for DayZ?

RedRumy3: ^^

Conductor of the Poop Train: God no. No leaderboards "This man players killed -> Incentive to just KOS"

RedRumy3: that to

Bene: Maserati confirmed as first DayZSA vehicle?

Trevor: With all this steam integration stuff

a SKOLLIE: vac will be in place

Jesus Christ: ^^

a SKOLLIE: thats already confirmed

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: Hah, you had to do it didn't you Rocket?

a SKOLLIE: and itll be awesome

Jesus Christ: sweet

[BoL] Fantatierchen: now that's just teasing :)

Sir Frone: hes rubbing it in our faces

Trevor: VAC is okay, but I hope they have another virus protecting shit

Trevor: hack* not virus.

Ridders!: hes going to post some cheeky screenshots if he knows whats good for him lol

a SKOLLIE: theyll use their own ive heard

a SKOLLIE: so yeah

Mr. Threepwood: Oh rocket, you finally got in.

a SKOLLIE: theyll have ways of tracking hackers

RedRumy3: well bf4 uses punkbuster and fair fight

a SKOLLIE: and punish them

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give StandAlone/ Beat: the rubbing in my face makes me aroused

ryaaanz: Hopefully not e long before we can play it :D

Trevor: Games like Red Orchestra uses 2, which is great.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Screenshots of flinging poop as chemical weaponry.

DonnyTrump: leaderboards/stats are incentive

Bene: okay guys, don't right click rocket and "Join Game"

Bene: :D

Jesus Christ: When does everyone think it will be released?

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: 2010

Bene: *Launch

GŞЩN -R- waiting 4 DayZ: xD

Mr. Threepwood: Oh, rocket is in-game in DayZ.

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: Im going to be playing Rick's "Oh no no no" Over and over again untill SA is out.

CamP: I wonder who let guests join our chat?

CamP: lol

Ridders!: when its ready

Daambi: i wish we could leave notes to people after we have raided there tent :P

Jesus Christ: I say late Nov early Dec

Jesus Christ: ^^

[BoL] Fantatierchen: some time between now and then

LeErOy NeWmAn: ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ GIVE SA

PwnDailY: what is the future of helicopters and planes? are they going to wait until the north of Chernarus + is finished?

KingofMosvik: is dayz coming in 2013?

Conductor of the Poop Train disconnected.

Ridders!: pls no helos and planes

LeErOy NeWmAn: yeah he said

Trevor: Yes please, even if it's optional.

Ridders!: DayZ will be out before the end of the year

Sir Frone: rocket is gunna pull an all nighter and prepare for release tomorrow :P

a SKOLLIE: it has to be

Trevor: Op in or out of the vehicles, people play differently.

PwnDailY: limited helis and planes, just commertial stuff

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: I'm really interested in knowing if there are notes you can leave in inventories/ground for other people to read. Are there?

Jesus Christ: Ridders adding coal to the hype train

Ridders!: Skollie gets me

Conductor of the Poop Train entered chat.

Seto Kaiba left chat.

Trevor: And adding the vehicles would be good for the players who don't and do want it.

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: What Dean Hall doest to the hype train every day :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee925OTFBCA

Conductor of the Poop Train: Damn, crqashed.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Derp.

KingofMosvik: rocket, are you playing dayz now? or working with it?

rocket2guns (4): working with it

KingofMosvik: :D

rocket2guns (4): trying to get character creation working properly

Ridders!: Alpher imminent!

Mr. Threepwood: character creation screen, is it?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Right so, Rocket is a tease. Must be good in bed, many little rockets, future generation fo game devs, win win.

Daambi: is that the last issue before release?

Mr. Threepwood: Well, take your time. But not too much. ;)

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: are you still at work?

ryaaanz: Lol at this voice chat

KingofMosvik: how much can we cuztomise our person?

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: what time is it at your place?

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give StandAlone/ Beat: hey celtic could you accept my request?

Mr. Threepwood: I hope you're at least in your flat by now

Conductor of the Poop Train: I second that. How much can we customize our char?

Trevor: Probably just the gear you find Mosvik

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: What the hell is going on in the voice chat

seinsin: Sims 3 style?

Mr. Threepwood: it's 1.11am, Bill Killgore

Roxyn: LOL, Good question

Mr. Threepwood: same time zone as me but still a 3 hour drive away :)

Mr. Threepwood: np

trafnogard: I'm just so happy

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: rocket get yourself some rest!

Trevor: Then you find the gear.

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: We havent had A DRAUDE SANDSTORM YET WHAT IS THIS... PUTTING IT ON NOW

Ridders!: No rest for the rocket

Conductor of the Poop Train: Sex = No

Mr. Threepwood: rocket get some rest. and btw, is this just some beautification work or sth thats holding back release?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Got to reach light speed.

KingofMosvik: the spammers went to bed

Sir Frone: Just to clarify Rocket confrimed that they are done with optimization, they just need to integrate it back into DayZ and then test it?

Roxyn: How in-depth will the customisation be? Are we going to get to change facial features or will it be similar to ARMA 2 where we pick a full preset face/skincolor etc?

Rossums: Especially all the fannies too scared to pretend to play DayZ now.

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: newman, i dont think that this is a good idea. everyone with a better ping has the advantage on this one

Ridders!: Yes frone

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: Rocket, what are you doing exactly on the character screen?

rocket2guns (4): making it work

Jesus Christ: that means release is any day now

ryaaanz: lol

Sir Frone: hype train for thurday/friday is departing

rocket2guns (4): review past characters, set a default one, that sort of thing

xiiam: Kreygasm

PwnDailY: are you ready for a miracle?!

a SKOLLIE: how many characters will you be even be able to create, rocket?

KingofMosvik: yes i am

a SKOLLIE: whats the cap set at i mean

Conductor of the Poop Train: Oh god voice chat.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Wtf.

SmilingBounder: yeah...don't join voice chat

a SKOLLIE: ah thats cool

KingofMosvik: only need 1

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give StandAlone/ Beat: its good time killer

Red Fox Dead Fox: How much detail in customization are we going to be able to have in character creation?

Sir Frone: Rocket will you post the, "TONIGHTS THE NIGHT!" video on your twitter prior to release?

a SKOLLIE: so im guessing youll be able to like view the score of past characters aswell then?

a SKOLLIE: maybe not now, but later?

MrAYU disconnected.

KingofMosvik: score?

a SKOLLIE: well

Conductor of the Poop Train: So let's say a friend wants to try DayZ, but I dont' trust him with my char. Any options?

Ridders!: Why do you need to see score..

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: the K/D ratio hahahahaha

a SKOLLIE: whatever will be recorded, maybe kills etc

thus_styles: kills / deaths?

Ridders!: meh

Mr. Threepwood: "Making it work" - sounds like something that is holding back release :(

Jesus Christ: Can anyone comment on their hardware and in-game FPS?

Sir Frone: I was born ready.

Ridders!: Jesus

thus_styles: well we cant really play if we can't create characters can we

Ridders!: the FPS will get better as alpha goes on

Conductor of the Poop Train: Also, will you be releasing a Devblog before release?

Mr. Threepwood: I hope not

Cetic [ General Duchee.]: Intel core I5 70k Oc 4ghz. Nvidia Twin razor gtx 760 8 gb ram. 30-50 fps.

a SKOLLIE: theyre not planning on that afaik

Ridders!: no more devblogs pls

KingofMosvik: don' see the reason to have a scoreboard

Roxyn: cetic is the DJ I think

Mr. Threepwood: 100% of the time spent working should be time spent working on the release

thus_styles: no i think he will just release

a SKOLLIE: theyre just focusing 100% on getting the game released

Red Fox Dead Fox: I believe he said they will just be releasing alpha

thus_styles: probs devblog after

Femuto: Whats with the Arnold voice in here lol?

a SKOLLIE: how will the network bubble affect sniping anyways?

Conductor of the Poop Train: This Dean guy, he's commited. At the officer at fucken, 1am.

SmilingBounder: Rocket, that's a good point. No one is around, so you can tell us a secret.....we won't tell. When does the Alpher release? plz rocket

Ridders!: Jesus whats your specs?

a SKOLLIE: will you still be able to see people at max range

a SKOLLIE: and snipe them

SmilingBounder: PLZ

<3 connection | Bill Kilgore: rocket you like working at night dont you?

a SKOLLIE: or are they "outside of your network bubble"

rocket2guns (4): once performance is acceptable we'll release the alpha

DonnyTrump: u work hard when theres a lambo purchse in your future :P

-OSP-Lorenzo0852: Wait a minute, so is Hicks with you?

Jesus Christ: tell you in a sec

Sir Frone: rocket you always say that thought

Conductor of the Poop Train: What's the radius of the network bubble, Mr. Rocket?

Ridders!: how confident are you that you can crack the performance problems?

RedRumy3: performance both client and server side?

PwnDailY: Everyone in this chat should get Alpher, like an Oprah Whinefry show. You get an Alpher and you get an alpher, EVERYBODY GETS AN ALPHER

Bene: yeah we could do the 50 player+ test right now ;D

Rossums: 15FPS

Conductor of the Poop Train: FPS over 9000? Human brain can't process.

The Mentalist: brb tomorrow

RedRumy3: lol

KingofMosvik: release from bed

Ridders!: now we have a new way of seeing if its releasing

The Mentalist: CHOO CHOO

Ridders!: ask hicks if hes in bed

a SKOLLIE: hicks, are you a bandit or a hero

KingofMosvik: ^

Hicks_206: Hero.

Ridders!: I can see the reddit threads already "HICKS ARE U IN BED PLS?"

Conductor of the Poop Train: So Hicks, just to clarify. Will we be able to host servers from Day 1?

RedRumy3: hes both hero during the day

RedRumy3: bandit at night

The Mentalist: Liar

Hicks_206: Used to go full hero on the mod

a SKOLLIE: do you have any plans on ziptying up bandits?

The Mentalist: Hero doesn't sleep

Hicks_206: Even have hours of vods to prove it

a SKOLLIE: youll be able to play police now

SmilingBounder: I used to do the whole Reddit Rescue Force thing

CamP entered chat.

Hicks_206: I used to set up shop at Cap Galova with a 4 man crew, and track down bandits, and give their kit to fresh spawns.

a SKOLLIE: lol awesome

Conductor of the Poop Train: Hicks superhero.

a SKOLLIE: the standalone will really need cop uniforms

Hicks_206: Also used to hunt hoarder camps, and bring their gear to Elektro/Cherno and give it out.

Roxyn: Don't look at reddit.

trafnogard entered chat.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Shaddup Roxyn, I will look at it.

Ridders!: "Hicks are you in bed?"

Hicks_206: Brought tons of urals, V3S, ghille, M16, M4, M24, DMR, etc down south

Ridders!: as i said lol

KingofMosvik: what's with reddit

ryaaanz entered chat.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Nothing on it.

Conductor of the Poop Train: It dead.

a SKOLLIE: do you think youll do something similar in the standalone?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Also, so glad this chat is here. NO nee to spam reddit anymore.

ryaaanz: Did steam just stop working for others?

Roxyn: Ya

Conductor of the Poop Train: Yeah.

trafnogard: ya

RedRumy3: I don't even make it long enough to be a hero, always die.

Hicks_206: I look forward to getting my group back together, and forcing them to help me help fresh spawns.

ryaaanz: ah okay

Hicks_206: (They hated it)

a SKOLLIE: why?! lol

Conductor of the Poop Train: Hicks Superhero.

Ridders!: Guys

a SKOLLIE: sounds like tons of fun

Ridders!: can we make this chat a daily thing

Cren entered chat.

Hicks_206: They were all about the action, and viewed every fresh spawn as a potential risk.

Ridders!: even after release

Hicks_206: Now, with unarmed melee - that is DEFINITELY the case.

Hicks_206: Moreso than before, with the mod

Hey entered chat.

Conductor of the Poop Train: I totally forgot. We have punching now.

ryaaanz: oh really?

Conductor of the Poop Train: [Question] Do we have kicking as well as punching, Hicks?

Hicks_206: I'm fore more reluctant now to let people close to me.

SmilingBounder: You're a very cruel man. Teasing us, telling us about the new features. But, go on...

a SKOLLIE: tell me if you need able bodies to help, im ready!

SmilingBounder: tell us more

Hicks_206: fore? *far

a SKOLLIE: :3

KingofMosvik: http://redd.it/1qhygr

DonnyTrump: will we see tents or something eqivalent in alpha?

Hicks_206: I leave talking about unannounced features to Dean.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Why hoard gear, Donny? 's all about rotating it. 's all about scraping by.

Ridders!: a lot of these questions have been answered in reddit this week...

Conductor of the Poop Train: DEAN!

Conductor of the Poop Train: WAKE UP

Rossums entered chat.

Ridders!: Dean whyuno caht

seinsin: DEAN IS KILL

Rossums: He DCd

DonnyTrump: tents were the best part of the mod...until people found out about duping

KingofMosvik: working*

Rossums: A bunch of us did.

Ridders!: Rossums are you a tester? I saw you playing an unnamed game earlier :P

Red Fox Dead Fox: RIP in peace dean

Rossums: No.

SmilingBounder: Hicks, speaking of melee weapons, something I've been wondering is how common melee weapons will be compared to guns?

Rossums: I'm just confused.

Conductor of the Poop Train: RIP in peace? Wat?

Ridders!: haha

Hicks_206: In short, I look forward to the hectic frenzy of trying to decide who is legitimately innocent, and who is not. It'll be like Ultima Online 1997 all over again.

a SKOLLIE: uo was greatttttttt

Hicks_206: Well, think of how more common they would be in real life.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Go out in bakcyard, huge branch, melee weapon?

a SKOLLIE: good news that a developer is inspired from it

Hicks_206: Much easier to find a baseball bat, then a rifle.

Rossums: Baseball bat.

Rossums: Pfft.

SmilingBounder: Awesome. That's what I wanted to hear

Rossums: Glorious hatchet for all!

Conductor of the Poop Train: Speaking of which... can I use random logs of firewood as melee weapons?

KingofMosvik: Rest In Peace In Peace?

Hicks_206: Or, in Rossums case - an axe.

SmilingBounder: fuck, I cannot WAIT

Ridders!: is it going to be melee weapon shtifest in the towns then?..

RedRumy3: hicks will the server only be run by you guys at first and dedicated servers after?

Hicks_206: Only time will tell.

Rossums: I REALLY like the hatchet.

Ridders!: my moneys on it being a newspawn melee fest

Hicks_206: There will be a large quantity of servers at launch. Hopefully, large enough ;)

Conductor of the Poop Train: Get logs, craft planks, add nails, win.

RedRumy3: Awesome.

SmilingBounder: I've always wanted melee to have a larger focus in the game, so glad it's going to be

Conductor of the Poop Train: How many players are you hoping to accomodate at 15 fps serverside?

a SKOLLIE: thats my only worry... not enough servers

a SKOLLIE: but im sure there will be..... i think.... i hope :(

Hicks_206: My advice to everyone here - while the game is downloading, read the manual. You'll want to know the controls so you can survive.

KingofMosvik: how many melee weapons are there?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Did the controls drastically change compared to the mod?

Ridders!: 8

Rossums: 8 ?

Ridders!: Mosvik

Hicks_206: A wide array, with many more to come in the future.

Ridders!: Mosvik go read reddit pls

ryaaanz: I will have 10 hours to read the manual then xD

a SKOLLIE: do you feel zombies (currently as we speak) are much more of a threat now? moreso than in the mod?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Or, compared to ARMA 3?

Hicks_206: Melee is *definitely* a core pillar of the game now.

Rossums: Yep, so much better than in the mod too.

Roxyn: Can you customise facial features or is it done the same way ARMA 2/3 in that you just pick a present skin?

Hicks_206: The game has its own unique controls like any other title, of course some controls carry between titles linked to Arma - but again, I highly recommend reading the manual beforehand.

Conductor of the Poop Train: The Standalone will redifine gaming, much like Minecraft did. I can predit that now.

Conductor of the Poop Train: predict* even

RedRumy3: Hicks are we going to be able to have clan groups or no?

Hicks_206: As character creation is literally being finalized as we speak by Dean, I'd prefer not to comment, as it might change at any time.

Rossums: jaja

Ridders!: I doubt it will redefine gaming, it will be something novel to people who play it but from the outside looking in itll just be another zombie game i think

Roxyn: Alright, thanks anyway :o)

Conductor of the Poop Train: Personal Question: How proud are you of DayZ SA, on a scale of 1 - 10?

Hicks_206: But the design is to allow a good array of customization to aid in a wide variety of survivor types, rather then the same white guy in a baseball cap

trafnogard: that's racist

Hicks_206: Of the potential we have ahead of us, with the way the title is releasing and steam allows us to update? 10.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Or DayZ in general, where it came from, what it achieved, etc.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Damn it, was hoping for 11.

a SKOLLIE: thats unfair, you didnt give him that option!

a SKOLLIE: xd

Hey left chat.

SmilingBounder: Is that default survivor face still in? if not, I'm gonna miss that. You could always spot new players when they had that face

SmilingBounder: lol

Hicks_206: I'm insanely lucky to be able to have an impact on a franchise that I'd otherwise be playing on every free moment if I was still at my previous studio.

Conductor of the Poop Train: 's all about thinking outside the box, yo.

Ridders!: Where did you work before?

Hicks_206: Microsoft Studios

Ridders!: doing?

RedRumy3: :O

RedRumy3: has was working for microsoft?

Hicks_206: First party publishing

RedRumy3: how

RedRumy3: *

Ridders!: How long did you work there?

Conductor of the Poop Train: I am too drunk to not say that I giggled mad and said to myself "Microshaft". I am truly sorry.

Hicks_206: A wonderful experience.

RedRumy3: ^^

RedRumy3: Damn must be fun

Hicks_206: Approximately 5 years

RedRumy3: would love to work for microsoft google or valve

RedRumy3: lol

Ridders!: Do you prefer working there or with the BI?

Hicks_206: I am originally from the east side of Seattle, so we had all three of those companies, plus Nintendo, Bungie, Suckerpunch, etc all in the same city effectively.

Conductor of the Poop Train: I I knew anything about coding, graphical design or otherwise, I'd want to work under Rocket 4 sure. He seems like the kind of guy you can have a beer or two with after work, at like, 2 am.

a SKOLLIE: or a can of beans

Conductor of the Poop Train: Fuck it. Can of pasta 4 life

Ridders!: Well maybe if they balloon to a larger studio after release you might get that chance lol

Hicks_206: In the end, at Microsoft I found myself feeling the most alive when I was working with technology or projects on the bleeding edge, outside of the established process. DayZ is that and more, plus something I already obsess over - so, BI.

Ridders!: Good answer ;D

Hicks_206: Dean prefers root beer

Rossums: Root beer

Rossums: Bender

Ridders!: Is dean a lightweight?

Rossums: It tastes liek freakin Pepto Bismol

Conductor of the Poop Train: How much did the development of the Standalone change your lives? Turned into night owls? Got you addicted to caffine? Etc?

Hicks_206: I doubt it, I think he just prefers to be focused

Ridders!: we'll see on launch night i guess ahha

Hicks_206: I moved to the other side of the world, left my family, friends, and a very well paying job to work on this project. I'd say it had a huge impact on myself.

Hicks_206: And *especially* Dean

Conductor of the Poop Train: There is no word in the english language to express our graditude for that I think. So I won't say thank you :P

ryaaanz: ^

Hicks_206: Haha, thanks I think.

a SKOLLIE: i will, thank you

Marc0303 entered chat.

DonnyTrump: 1 lambo for you.

a SKOLLIE: :D

Super1473: How is living in Checz Republic? :)

KingofMosvik: how is launch night going to be? do you think you will have server problems like the big companies do?

Hicks_206: Prague is beautiful, its definitely different from the States, but I like experiencing new things.

a SKOLLIE: nobody can answer that mosvik :P

a SKOLLIE: but the most likely answer is yes

SmilingBounder: are the women there hot? :V

Rossums: How far from Prague are you guys?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Do you get by in your every day life speaking english or?

Hicks_206: Listen, when it comes to launch - I expect issues. I've been #2 on the escalation chart for online only projects for other, very influental companies before and even -they- couldn't stop the inevitable.

RedRumy3: well look at call of duty ghost

Hicks_206: You can't ever truly prepare for what the users will do

RedRumy3: fucking terrible on pc

Conductor of the Poop Train: Fly hax, fly hax everywhere.

Hicks_206: The best you can do is prepare for the worst, and make sure you have a clear escalation chart, and a big red emergency phone to the data centers for when shit hits the fan.

RedRumy3: ^

Conductor of the Poop Train: What would you classify as "shit hitting the fan"?

Hicks_206: You can be certain, when the game launches - Dean will be staring at the feedback tracker with his eyes peeled back, and I'll be on a bridge call with the server host.

SmilingBounder: No one could have a worse release than Dead Island did

SmilingBounder: if you do better than them, you'll be alright, especially considering its only alpha

a SKOLLIE: im not sure if you can/want to answer this question, but its something ive been wondering for a while now, and i dont think its really answered anywhere either. I was going to ask it before we lost connection to steam aswell:

will zombies spawn in other areas now rather than the cities/towns? for an example in the woods etc

Conductor of the Poop Train: Lol, Press Y, fly, profit.

Ridders!: yes they do skollie

Ridders!: they spawn all over

Ridders!: more in towns i think

Hicks_206: Well, an example would be a multi million dollar title releasing, skyrocketing concurrent active users faster in the first two hours than Call of Duty or Halo on XBL, and then seeing one of the backend dependencies hard crashing with no one picking up the phone on the other end ;)

SmilingBounder: lol I remember that Conductor. My friends and I thought it was a feature...we were like "wat?"

Hicks_206: That morning even Phil Spencer was knocking on my door demanding to know what the hell was going on.

Hicks_206: Never a good feeling.

DonnyTrump: nether had a lot of issues recently on their alpha launch

Conductor of the Poop Train: Tbh Hicks, I know Rocket is trying to avoid hype, but that might just happen. 0.o Not trying to doomsay or anything.

Hicks_206: SKOLLIE: There is nothing preventing us from doing that, thats about all I can say ;)

Hicks_206: Yeah, the hype train is a machine of its own.

Red Fox Dead Fox disconnected.

Hicks_206: The discovery of the group after I uploaded a new header image is proof of that in itself.

RedRumy3: lol

Roxyn: xD

ryaaanz: The train is growing

Conductor of the Poop Train: My Steam crashed three times before I could join. So yeah.

SmilingBounder: You can't hide anything from us Hicks

SmilingBounder: we will discover all

RedRumy3: well probably from all the spamming

Conductor of the Poop Train: Two more times before I could accept the invite.

Hicks_206: This group is like a year old, all I did was upload a new header.

a SKOLLIE: thank you for answering :)

ryaaanz: Oh

Hicks_206: I've been addicted to watching this guys DayZ videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/stephenmorrish

Hicks_206: Its like listening to someones Uni Prof. play DayZ.

Hicks_206: The man is so damn calm

Conductor of the Poop Train: Stopped uploading youtube vids personally. Got hit by copyright claims left + right.

Conductor of the Poop Train: That reminds me. Dean once tweeted about using poop as chemical weaponry. Is that... a thing?

Roxyn: I had my 10k sub channel stolen and then had to pay google for support, which resulted in a bot reply

Roxyn: never recovered it :(

Hicks_206: The way DayZ is designed allows to maximum flexibility, and experimentation. So, its been discussed.

Hicks_206: I used to upload gameplay from DayZ to youtube.

Conductor of the Poop Train: I love you guys, so much.

Hicks_206: Mostly for my own amusement

RedRumy3: I upload videos all the time

RedRumy3: and im just terrible

Rossums: Like, the strangest thing ever

Hicks_206: Hes a dude =P

Rossums: In a 'Wow, such a small world' type of way

Conductor of the Poop Train: Dun matter, irish girls still exist.

Rossums: I am neither Irish nor a girl, if that helps in any way.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Can you talk about the price of the Alpha release? If yes but nothing specific, what would you want it priced at?

RedRumy3: Roxyn level 76 on steam damnnn

Hicks_206: Buddy is from Newry, I believe.

Hicks_206: Can't speak to price. That discussion is still active.

Cren: hicks my favorite color is orange, can you confirm orange underwear in the SA?

Conductor of the Poop Train: That's cool.

Hicks_206: Underwear, at least for right now - is an offwhite-ish color.

seinsin: aw

Conductor of the Poop Train: God damn. DayZ Office Tours at Halloween next year. Make it a thing.

Cren: ; ;

Hicks_206: The Czechs aren't actually that big on Halloween

Conductor of the Poop Train: Well.

Conductor of the Poop Train: WE ARE

Conductor of the Poop Train: Derp.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Top o' the morning govn'r.

Rossums: I've got mates from Wicklow and Longford

Rossums: And some dirty northerners too

SmilingBounder: Speaking of underwear, Hicks: what're you wearing? ;)

Roxyn: oh god.

DonnyTrump: lol

RedRumy3: wow

SmilingBounder: lmao

Conductor of the Poop Train: No don't.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Rule34 no plz

Hicks_206: I'm dating a girl from the south of england actually. I've become an expert at preparing tea.

Ridders!: lol

Majoras_Mask: nice

Hicks_206: Ban whom?

RedRumy3: I only drink Green Tea.

RedRumy3: =]

Conductor of the Poop Train: It needs 1. Tea bag 2. Hot water 3. Milk for some reason

Hicks_206: Being from Seattle, I am a huge coffee snob.

Rossums: I drink basic builders tea like a commoner

RedRumy3: http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/economy/emoticon/siegrune

RedRumy3: steam needs to make emotes bigger

Conductor of the Poop Train: English people say Hey-o.

Hicks_206: Usually me, about 5 minutes after Dean.

RedRumy3: lmao

Roxyn: that works a lot better, didn't even think of that xD

SmilingBounder: Hicks, your a Starbucks man? or Tullys? Woods?

Hicks_206: However, I got very little sleep last night, so I left at 9

SmilingBounder: I'm guessing this is only in Seattle?

Rossums: You can dream of whatever you want.

Ridders!: Hicks wont say a thing lol

Hicks_206: You are free to dream my friend.

Rossums: Hicks in a dress is what I'll be doing tonight.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Speaking of which. Servers will be hosted en masse by you guys. Can we host our own stuff day 1?

RedRumy3: nfo

Hicks_206: We're still addressing our approach to this, however at launch there will be large quanities of game servers.

RedRumy3: all the way

Rossums: Haha, that exact question was heavily discussed today

Jiggy Master24 disconnected.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Fair enough.

Hicks_206: That coffee pretty much fueled the final days of Kinect development.

Hicks_206: I used to buy it en masse

Conductor of the Poop Train: Was that the first one or this new one?

Hicks_206: First one

Hicks_206: Back in 2010

kevenc: Can you talk about performance Hick ?

Conductor of the Poop Train: Damn, that's almost been 4 years. Fml.

kevenc: I mean average FPS you get in cities and plain ?

Rossums: Sexual performance or relating to DayZ

Conductor of the Poop Train: Ross.

Conductor of the Poop Train: High-5.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Now.

Hicks_206: Client side? I've found the game to be genuinely much smoother experience, and lower demand than the mod.

Rossums: There isn't an emote.

Rossums: DOES NOT COMPUTE

Conductor of the Poop Train: I DONT CARE MAN

Conductor of the Poop Train: DO IT

Conductor of the Poop Train: Fucking...

kevenc: Do you think you guys will ever achieve a 60 steady FPS

Hicks_206: Ross: ^5

Conductor of the Poop Train: /high-5

kevenc: For the oculus rift

Hicks_206: Its definitely a goal. We have rifts in the office, and I know Dean is in love with the device.

Rossums: GOD DAMN IT

Hicks_206: If you haven't tried Oculus with Dear Esther - do it.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Tbh, I'm scared of DayZ getting Oculus support. If that ever becomes a thing, the Matrix movie will become a reality. So pls no

Hicks_206: Amazin

Rossums: I'm just happy I get me new machine tomorrrrrrrrrrrow!

SmilingBounder: Dear Esther was such a cool experience

Rossums: WIll actually be able to run the bastard

kevenc: Oh man I'm so hype I can't wait to help a fellow survivor

Rossums: Well, on high

Conductor of the Poop Train: Alright, alright. How about this...

KingofMosvik: It's been fun in this chat for three hours now, better get some sleep. See you later ☻

Conductor of the Poop Train: Let's say I'm saving some money for the Standalone.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Should I spend that, or hold onto it for this week?

Roxyn: sleep well king

Cren: will there be gloves in teh SA?

SmilingBounder: bye King

Conductor of the Poop Train: *cheeky mode: activate*

RedRumy3: my ps4 games shipped today

Hicks_206: I'll definitely try to plug one of our dev kits in at launch and see if I can get it to work. Figure if it becomes an achieveable milestone, we'll stay late in the office one day and see who the first to scream while using the hardware is.

DonnyTrump: bye king

RedRumy3: damn console still didnt

Hicks_206: I can't give financial advice, I always waste my money on friends.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Same for me, mate.

SmilingBounder: Nice dodge

Jiggy Master24: Lets say i want to waste money on my friends....

Conductor of the Poop Train: I am buying the SA for like, 3 guys, just because.

Majoras_Mask: Thats better then what I waste it on.

SmilingBounder: Hicks has a very high evasive stat

RedRumy3: yeah

Hicks_206: I'm buying about ten copies myself, for friends.

RedRumy3: 1 for me

kevenc: Hick dodge stats : 95% chance to dodge

Roxyn: Are you crazy enough to release during christmas or would you want to do it well in advance/after the holiday?

RedRumy3: I think they will be fine whenever they decide to release

RedRumy3: will be on steam

Hicks_206: I survived E3 2013 Xbox One without saying anything stupid Bounder, I can dodge pretty well.

Cren: hicks, gloves in SA?

SmilingBounder: lol

Conductor of the Poop Train: New years. Everybody gets drunk. Drunk DayZ, see what booze does to community. Ultimate alpha test.

kevenc: I agree, pls gloves.

Hicks_206: I'd definitely like to see gloves Cren.

Conductor of the Poop Train: I determiend Hicks is god if he came out of e£ '13 unscratched.

Cren: cool.

SmilingBounder: Hicks, how much of an influence do you think DayZ had on games like The Division? didn't Ubisoft say they were partly inspired by it?

RedRumy3: idk but that division game

RedRumy3: looks amazing

Conductor of the Poop Train: DayZ inspired everything. It inspired my mom's apple pie, for god's sake.

Roxyn: It does, is it on PC or just a console thing?

RedRumy3: from what i saw

RedRumy3: was ps4 version i think

Conductor of the Poop Train: Division will def come to PC, every Ubi game does.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Sooner or later.

RedRumy3: they showed off as well

Rossums: XBAWKS + PS4

RedRumy3: and it looked unreal

kevenc: Does desync still exists in SA ?

RedRumy3: waiting for destiny

RedRumy3: as well

Hicks_206: Only Ubisoft can say, but having worked on alot of different titles I can say, this industry is cyclical. Most consumers would be suprised to hear that most studios have full game libraries, with all platforms - and competitor titles.

RedRumy3: should be fun

Jiggy Master24: divison will come to pc just like gtav will come to dayz :/

RedRumy3: lol

Rossums: Not really waiting on anything

Hicks_206: I mean, how else can you know what experiences are out there?

Rossums: Dying to get my new machine so I can play through Bioshock Infinite which I;'ve still not done

RedRumy3: anyone here play Nether

Conductor of the Poop Train: Desygn reminds me. Dean tweeted about the whole walls not existing thing. What does that mean, exactly? As in, how can they "not exist"? They are clearly there. WTB Insight Into Code.

kevenc: Nether is bad

Hicks_206: Walk down any hallway at a major platform HQ and you'll see hardware and games from all platforms being enjoyed ;)

SmilingBounder: It definitely seems like theres a shift towards perma death at least. And DayZ was a big part of that

Jiggy Master24 entered chat.

Hicks_206: Well

Hicks_206: Maybe not Nintendo

Rossums: Physically they exist

Hicks_206: those guys are crazy

Rossums: but the zombies didn't treat it as a solid object

kevenc: They exist for player like Dean said

Conductor of the Poop Train: u mad blo?

kevenc: "geometry"

kevenc: Though zombie only use a road path

Jiggy Master24: overall does the game feel clunky like how arma feels or is it more fluid?

Rossums: For me it's leaps and bounds ahead of arma

Conductor of the Poop Train: If the SA feels ATLEAST like Arma 3, good times.

kevenc: Rossums are you in the Alpha ?

Rossums: Everything feels a lot more natural to me

Rossums: Yes

DonnyTrump: i just want to run around and explore the landscape

kevenc: Ok cool, do yo uget good fps

RedRumy3: yeah he was playing it earlier

kevenc: overall

Hicks_206: The easiest way for you to think of it Conductor, is that as of the time of that tweet, the zombie AI was not interacting with the geometry of the walls. Going straight for the player. (At that time)

Rossums: Not really sure if I can talk about it

RedRumy3: probably not

Rossums: But I do get a lot better than I do with Mod

RedRumy3: lol

Hicks_206: On the subject of how the game feels...

Conductor of the Poop Train: Oh right.

Roxyn: May not be related but a while back there was a trend in open world games, sandboxes and such with player housing being a pretty big thing. Then that died down. All of a sudden DayZ becomes popular and games like WoW start announcing player housing. It's just nice to see, I miss things like Star Wars galaxies

Rossums: I can say that much :p

Hicks_206: As someone that has played thousands of hours of the mod.

Rossums: I literally can't run the mod on this machine higher than 5fps, perfectly playable SA though

seinsin disconnected.

Hicks_206: DayZ makes DayZ Mod feel like the difference between watching a cartoon from the 80s, and then watching the live action series on bluray.

Rossums: Yeah

RedRumy3: aww yeahhh

kevenc: God

kevenc: that gives me a lot of hope

Majoras_Mask: well put

Hicks_206: Side by side, the difference is SO noticable

Rossums: Especially animations as far as fluidity goes

Conductor of the Poop Train: No Hicks. Bad Hicks. Always add: As long as you aren't running Windows XP.

Jiggy Master24: i have no idea on how to interpet that analogy

Conductor of the Poop Train: Some people still do that.

Rossums: Mainly melee

Hicks_206: I go back to the mod on my off hours, and it just feels so very much like watching reruns of TMNT from the 80s

Rossums: With te best weapon ever.

Rossums: THE AXE OF DESTINY.

Jiggy Master24: but tmnt was awesome

Rossums: Exactly.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Axe of Destiny? Bish plz, Shovel of Justice.

Rossums: Nostalgia factor is what makes it good.

Hicks_206: Roxyn: I *loved* SWG at launch.

kevenc: I get like 50 fps overall but in city it drops to like 25, and with my PC I really look forward to a steady 60 fps, I can't enjoy a game if I notice Framerate spike

Rossums: Shovels are for noobs.

SmilingBounder: stop making me so fucking excited hicks

Conductor of the Poop Train: Your face is for n00b2! >:(

Rossums: True.

Conductor of the Poop Train: inorite

Hicks_206: Our tentpole goal, is the player experience. Presenting the player with a stable, and enjoyable gameplay experience. Framerate is a big part of this. keven.

Hicks_206: And it will continue to be

Hicks_206: post launch

kevenc: That's good to hear

SmilingBounder: Hicks, this is like a Steam AMA

SmilingBounder: you're awesome dude

RedRumy3: ^

Hicks_206: Eh, its just me drinking a beer until I get sleepy again

SmilingBounder: thanks for answering all these

Rossums: lol

Jiggy Master24: early in the dev blogs rocket said they literally plopped utes next to the chernarus map (there's a picture of it someplace) is it still there? can you say anything on this?

Rossums: It's half 2 in the morning.

Rossums: Should probably go to bed soon.

Rossums: o_o

Hicks_206: I can't speak to Utes. We need to discuss our goals with this internally.

RedRumy3: no no drink more beer

Rossums: Knackered as it is

DonnyTrump: i wonder how many game feature sergey titov will steal lol

RedRumy3: drink more beer and give us more info

Red Fox Dead Fox: hicks what kind of beer are you drinking

RedRumy3: ^_^

Hicks_206: Staropramen

Hicks_206: It is a czech beer

SmilingBounder: Rossums, are you a mod on the subreddit or a member of the team?

Rossums: Ooooo nice

Conductor of the Poop Train: I can understand why the SA is being delayed tbh. Personally I'd not give a rat's ass if the game crashed every 2 minutes and ran at 10 fps max in cities, because I know it's an Alpha and it will improve drastically. But sadly, most people won't realise this if it was release din such a state. So I'd rather take avoiding a PR disaster and having to wait over imminent release and Inside Gaming Daily ripping on BI. Right? Right.

Rossums: Brilliant beer

Roxyn: I'd just like to mention that it's 1.24am and I'm drinking coffee thanks to the previous conversation. #nosleep

Rossums: And no I'm not

Hicks_206: Rossums is one of our internal testers.

SmilingBounder: gotcha

Rossums: I'm just so sexy that had to have me.

SmilingBounder: lol

Rossums: they had to*

SmilingBounder: sexy and drunk

Rossums: I'm not drunk.

Rossums: I wish I was drunk.

SmilingBounder: haha

kevenc: Lol

Rossums: Would make work in the morning VERY interesting.

Jiggy Master24: if only i could be so gloriously incandesant as Rossums

Conductor of the Poop Train: Just finished my rack of cider. Drunk off my ass. Even swaying around as I'm typing. Hence typos.

Hicks_206: Roxyn: Btw, I was an architect back in SWG pre-NGE. Used to sell out of a large house outside the main city on Naboo.

Rossums: Incandescent like alightbulb.

Red Fox Dead Fox: What server?

Hicks_206: Starsider if I recall correctly.

trafnogard: Hicks how much of the crafting system do we have to look forward to at alpha?

Jiggy Master24: Dark souls reference PRAISE THE SUN!

Rossums: SWG was awesome

Red Fox Dead Fox: Pre CU was amazing

SmilingBounder: Conductor, I too would play DayZ if it was as functional as a potato

Rossums: Yeah

kevenc: Duct tape.

Rossums: When Jedis were actually awesoem

Conductor of the Poop Train: Potatos can power clocks mate. Wat u smokin?

Roxyn: Oh my gosh, the memories. I was a dancer and architech also. Nothing was quite like holding house parties in that game

Conductor of the Poop Train: .... I wonder if the SA were a potato, would it power a lock?

Conductor of the Poop Train: #deep

Rossums: Played on FarStar for a while

Hicks_206: traf: That system is ongoing, and will continue to be a major focus from here until the 1.0. So, while I can't speak to what will be out on day 1 of the early access, know that *frequent* updates, and ongoing development is planned for years to come.

Conductor of the Poop Train: clock* even

SmilingBounder: #drunk*

Conductor of the Poop Train: Dat typo.

Jiggy Master24: hicks would you rather fight a horse sized duck or a hundred duck size horses?

Hicks_206: Hundred duck sized horses.

Hicks_206: I could kick em

Hicks_206: And then cuddle one.

Majoras_Mask: aww

Conductor of the Poop Train: Any idea of the version number you'll be releasoing under? Anything like 0.1.3.3.7?

Ridders!: lol

RedRumy3: http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/economy/emoticon/missing

Jiggy Master24: lol l337

Hicks_206: Hahaha, No - versioning is done by internal SVN, so no idea.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Damn it.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Ruined.

Conductor of the Poop Train: DayZ is scam.

Conductor of the Poop Train: lo0lolololo

kevenc: DayZ is a myth

kevenc: It never existed.

Roxyn: Hicks, my friend asks how much we need to pay in order to get architechs in DayZ xD

Conductor of the Poop Train: DayZ is a potato.

Ridders!: hicks whats the reasoning behind the dayz steam group being unviewable? or is it just a steam bug?

kevenc: Only cool people are in it

RedRumy3: http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/economy/emoticon/B1

Hicks_206: Honestly, There have been two projects in software that I would kill to be a project of. Ultima Online (I was too young at the time) and DayZ.

Rossums: He locked it.

Rossums: Because it was getting rowdy.

Rossums: And only we rowdy.

RedRumy3: yeah

Ridders!: ah okay

SmilingBounder: http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/economy/emoticon/headcrab

Conductor of the Poop Train: What about the new Everquest? I heard good things from a veteran Everquest player.

RedRumy3: fake rockets and spamming

Ridders!: i just thought it might be viewable still

Jiggy Master24: rowdy like this chat wasn't 2 hours ago

Hicks_206: Hah, we'll see Roxyn. It'll be interesting to see where we take the discussion on bases, etc when we get there.

Cren: i know theres nothign official yet, but i just built this pc in part because of dayz SA, how do you think it'll perform? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/21tvJ the video card came off my old build so its nothing special.

Hicks_206: The steam community group has been locked for awhile now, I just locked the chat because for some reason people flocked to it.

Roxyn: Indeed! I can't wait to see how it all unfolds

Rossums: 560Ti is still a solid card

RedRumy3: basically same build as me

RedRumy3: except i have 580

Rossums: It will run it well, I can tell you that.

RedRumy3: and my 4670 is at 4.6ghz

Jiggy Master24: hicks we all know people came for th hype train

Conductor of the Poop Train: Hicks, that's easy. Hire the guys who developed DayZ Origins. Instant profit and problem solved.

Red Fox Dead Fox: Can you tell us anything about melee in the alpha release?

Hicks_206: I've not used a 560, but I think it should do just fine

Rossums: The fact that I can run it at all on this sack of shit laptop means you will be fine

Cren: cool

Cren: thanks

Hicks_206: Conductor: No.

trafnogard: :D

Conductor of the Poop Train: FINE

Hicks_206: Melee?

SmilingBounder: I have a 560 Ti

Rossums: 1.6GHz i7 yo.

Hicks_206: Well, its become a huge part of the game now.

SmilingBounder: good card

Rossums: Mobility Radeon 4670.

Hicks_206: Dean did some exceptional design work on it back in the summertime.

Rossums: 5 year old machine :d

Jiggy Master24: rossums what comp you got that sounds like a laptop

Hicks_206: Unarmed melee is probably the biggest contender of all of it.

Hicks_206: It feels so good

Hicks_206: So right

Red Fox Dead Fox: There's unarmed melee???

Rossums: 5 year old Dell XPS 1645 laptop

Hicks_206: Yep.

Red Fox Dead Fox: :o

Conductor of the Poop Train: Is punching zombies a viable thing? I want to do that, so bad.

Rossums: lol

Rossums: So balls

Hicks_206: Raise your fists and knock that bandit out man.

Jiggy Master24: nice i got a 4 yr old asus laptop

Hicks_206: One-two punch.

Rossums: I get a new laptop tomorrow thank god

Conductor of the Poop Train: Bioshock reference out the wazoo.

Jiggy Master24: :(

Rossums: I'll make a new dsktop once I move back home though

Hicks_206: Punching zombies is possible, but not advised.

Hicks_206: They hurt you a hell of alot more at that range then you can them

Rossums: WOrking abroad for the year

Jiggy Master24: cool

Conductor of the Poop Train: ... knucles maybe?

Red Fox Dead Fox: Can I break someones legs by punching them in the legs?

Majoras_Mask: I dont think I could ever game on a laptop.. screen is so small

Conductor of the Poop Train: knuckles* even Pardone my french.

Hicks_206: Yknow, I've not yet tried that Fox.

SmilingBounder: Is dismemberment planned? Will zombies be able to rip your limbs off, or friends have to amputate a buddies arm/leg? (im sure this would be much further down the developement road)

Rossums: I don't mind it at all, prefer a proper display though

Red Fox Dead Fox: That would be hilarious.

Hicks_206: I -have- angered about 13 testers by having them spawn in, and knocking them all out before they loaded in all the way.

Hicks_206: They didn't like that.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Majora, how to fix: Buy TV, get HDM cable, good times.

Rossums: Pardonnez-moi francais.

Hicks_206: But it was hillarious

trafnogard: ha

RedRumy3: how dare they be angry

Roxyn: xD

Rossums: pour ma francais*

Majoras_Mask: Thats what I use Conductor

Conductor of the Poop Train: Didn't you get tied up during one of the tests?

Jiggy Master24: so could i if i wanted to run naked from the coast to the airfield

Rossums: Ma francais est trés merde

Majoras_Mask: but I use it with my desktop

Hicks_206: No, I did handcuff a tester though.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Good times.

kevenc: Mon français est très bon

Majoras_Mask: haah.. that guy..

Hicks_206: Oh! And my favorite hijink..

kevenc: Je suis québécois, huehuehe

Rossums: You don't know what he did to him after he cuffed him.

Conductor of the Poop Train: DayZ, now with 20% more BDSM.

Rossums: I'm living in Toulouse at the moment

RedRumy3: lol

Hicks_206: A tester was AFK outside Vybor, I found him, handcuffed him -and then proceeded to dress him.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Now all we need are whips.

Rossums: Nice wine and baguettes

Rossums: That's about it

Rossums: I don't like the sun.

SmilingBounder: undress or dress? I'm not sure which would be more disturbing...

Jiggy Master24: you can dress people? oh the things people can do

Hicks_206: He came back, and was fully kitted out. I was standing over him with a nagant - and I just said over direct. "I dressed you up purdy, boy"

RedRumy3: lmao

Conductor of the Poop Train: DayZ, Barbie Simulator of the Year. Many awards.

SmilingBounder: lmfao

kevenc: Hey Rossums what did you try to say in french

Roxyn: haha

Rossums: my french is shit

Conductor of the Poop Train: We have atheory on how to hunt down Dean after release.

SmilingBounder: Hicks, you're a man after my own heart

Jiggy Master24: hicks, dayz in general what is your usual loot run?

SmilingBounder: I'm definitely going to be doing crazy shit like that

kevenc: Well, it's not that bad

Conductor of the Poop Train: Basically, capture everyone and tie them up, Force them to say "Alpha" over direct chat. If they don't speak or just say "Alpha" shoot. As long as someone says "Alpher" they might be Dean.

SmilingBounder: my friends will never see the end of it

Hicks_206: Haha

Hicks_206: I don't have real loot runs any more Jiggy

Hicks_206: Mostly because about 95 to 98% of the structures are enterable now.

Rossums: je suis écosais

SmilingBounder: wow...

Rossums: Je ne parle pas tres bien francais

Hicks_206: Yeah, very few structures are not enterable.

SmilingBounder: that's...a lot...of buildings

Conductor of the Poop Train: I go to bed thinking about the Standalone every night and wake up with the SA being my first thought. Clinical or clinical? I am inclined to say clinical.

Rossums: Plus I don't have a funky French keyboard here :P

Ridders!: lol

Jiggy Master24: so are cities just so stacked? or with more people we would see less loot?

SmilingBounder: it's a loot whores wet dream

kevenc: Tu as un bon français

TMan entered chat.

Rossums: Haha

Rossums: Non

Hicks_206: Sometimes, I have nightmares that the game launched - and there are weird, obscure problems.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Like?

kevenc: Oui mais tu mélanges tes déterminants comme ma et mon.

kevenc: C'est mon français pas ma français

Hicks_206: I had a nightmare that the game launched, and for some reason twitch was attributing all the streamers streaming it to Worms: Armageddon

Rossums: I know I do

Rossums: lol

Hicks_206: I think its because I played Worms before bed

Conductor of the Poop Train: Lol wtf xD

Conductor of the Poop Train: That's amazing.

kevenc: drugs.

Rossums: :p

kevenc: These are not dreams

Conductor of the Poop Train: Don't do crystal meth mkay?

Jiggy Master24: yeah but with the ammount of bugs in arma and the mod aren't people kinda used to the wierd stuff (i still expect to die when opening doors in the mod)

SmilingBounder: That's not THAT bad of a problem

SmilingBounder: Worms is the shit

Hicks_206: Nah, not drugs. Just regular office hours of 13 to 15 hours a day, 5 days a week, sometimes weekends as well.

SmilingBounder: it would probably help with the soft launch though

Conductor of the Poop Train: I once died in DayZ because a pile of woodenc rates randomly exploded. Fun times.

Hicks_206: Haha wtf Conductor

Conductor of the Poop Train: Not exploded as in, boom. But, flew in every direction.

kevenc: The number of time I got killed by trees in Arma is damn too high

Jiggy Master24: i tripped on a pile of rubble

Jiggy Master24: died

Hicks_206: Yeah, I've seen trees kill at the worst moments in the SG

Jiggy Master24: early days of the mod stairs were your worst enemy...so many vroken legs

Conductor of the Poop Train: To Dean's defense, that was in Dead Nation, which is an Arma 3 DayZ type mod.

SmilingBounder: One time, I was at Solnichniy factory, very early in the mods days. (June 2012 about). I was running by one of those big smoke stack things, and it exploded. Probably a satchel charge

SmilingBounder: scared the ever living shit out of me

Jiggy Master24: broken*

Hicks_206: I have yet to be killed by a gate, or a door =P

Jiggy Master24: ^ you're one of the lucky ones

SmilingBounder: Speaking of, will there be satchels in SA?

Majoras_Mask: I usually get killed by my own team mates

Hicks_206: Time will tell.

Hicks_206: This is true.

kevenc: If it does I except DayZ team to make them really rare and a maximum of like 10 in the whole DayZ Public hive

Conductor of the Poop Train: I once died driving a cross bike. Reached a bridge. As I drove onto the bridge the bike flew miles high, taking me with it.

Hicks_206: For those that doubted my hero ways in the mod, Majoras here has played with me for over a year - he can speak to it =P

Majoras_Mask: True Hero.

SmilingBounder: Ghost bridges

SmilingBounder: dangerous

Roxyn: One of my fav bugs was driving over backpacks/woodpiles causes them to burst into flames

Conductor of the Poop Train: No Hicks. U are no h3r0. U 12 sup3r h3r0

SmilingBounder: whenever my friends drove in DayZ, I would freak out when they drove over bridges lol

Hicks_206: lol

Hicks_206: Never saw that one Roxyn, sounds like it could be amusing.

SmilingBounder: that backpack glitch was fucking hilarious

Jiggy Master24: shooting backpacks did the same thing

Conductor of the Poop Train: We all know the wood is flammable. Y u surprised mate?

Roxyn: It scared the heck outta me the first time because I was attempting to hide a car in a tree then suddenly fire everywhere

SmilingBounder: sniping someone across the NWAF and they just burst into flames, shit their pants and run off

SmilingBounder: lol

Hicks_206: Alright, its bed for me. Going to watch the post mortem for Maniac Mansion on Youtube and drift off. Should I open chat back up?

Conductor of the Poop Train: No.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Wait until noon.

Conductor of the Poop Train: Then open the flood gates, imo.

SmilingBounder: Meh, probably. Hopefully it'll calm down by tomorrow

Roxyn: Wait until the reddit post is gone perhaps

Conductor of the Poop Train: Or that.

SmilingBounder: yeah ^

SmilingBounder: what Roxyn said
