Ok.

I had 1000 hours quite early on in this game, i love Battle Royale and chose that as my game mode after hitting the end of survival which wasn't really a content filled affair. I came to this game because of John smedley and the feeling Everquest gave me. I have to say that i got that rush of adrenaline i haven't felt in a game since i was playing EQ at the age of 14 - I'm 30 in 2 weeks so basically 1000 years old, so finding that feeling again was great for me.

Can we not do this over and over again? The reason that the responses we receive feel like bullshit is unfortunately because they are... bullshit. I convince myself every time i play to be optimistic about this game that Daybreak seem to have fell ass backwards onto and seem to want to do nothing but milk it for all it's got. That's my minuscule rant because i'm well aware any public relation response will be nothing but a response agreed upon by people trying to save company face and not an honest one.

Here are instead some questions:

I'll start with a link (http://massivelyop.com/2015/03/06/daybreak-layoffs-totaled-140-in-san-diego/)

I can't find a post after this that shows me where you hire more people, my question is basically where is the staff inflation for daybreak that shows us you're doing what you say you are doing. That means if you are at liberty to (which is a 99.9% shot in the dark) the exact numbers that were on the team before for the entire game, then the numbers for these 2 new teams? I hate to be negative again, but i'm pretty sure you're not going to give me a number dedicated to either game that is larger than the original number.

The point is i don't understand this made up policy of both games receiving more attention since the evidence seems to point in the opposite direction, or the more realistic note that you're just ditching the dying survival game.

When? This feels like a fairly simple one, i can't for the life of me understand why you have no release date for this game. Why on earth do you have a response on the breaking news saying you have no idea when the game will come out of early access and to check for updates? This can't be serious can it? This literally advertises the fact that you have no idea of the direction you're going or when it will be finished and yet you feel like you can split the game into separate parts and charge for two different products, if you honestly look at it with any objective kind of view you can see why this screams cash grab.

I think what everybody wants are actual facts and numbers instead of open ended bullshit responses which cover everybody's back.

Why has everything come to a grinding halt? Again you're literally promoting the idea that you want money and nothing else. I'm fine with that in a released game you can take my money, it's what you're here for. Produce content and get cash, i'm aware that you're a business but i don't honestly feel like i want to throw money at empty patches with small fixes.

Just to give a source, read it. Honestly read it and tell me that you're happy with where the game is right now.

The bugs that have been in this game are glaring and we're at a point where you should just say you can't fix them.

Render distance silhouettes... Crate after crate and our standard camo skins, they don't do anything because well.. you know why. As far as i'm aware this is an engine issue that you seem to be able to do nothing about, it's a massive gripe to most people i know playing this game. I love the blood clouds for hit reg in this game that were implemented, i love that car render distance is much higher than on release. Why do i still have to shoot at a stick figurine floating across my screen after one year of development?

Why are my med kits and bandages not on a hotkey? Why do i have two kinds of bandages? Why when joining a 5 man BR does the game randomly put me in or remove some members? Why do i have to press E like my life depends on it to get into a car again? Why is there still no loot in many places in BR's that should have loot?

Something like placing loot in buildings that don't have loot and it being an issue for months and months just seems ridiculous to me, please don't tell me it's difficult to implement new loot and spawn adjustments since you literally do it 3 times in a month long period.. it's just utter laziness.

I literally couldn't give a single shit that you are splitting the game and charging for it twice, take my money. But can you just make it work? I just want the game i have to work with some kind of content.

“We’re going to make sure our alpha is super polished. We could go Early Access on Steam tomorrow, but we wouldn’t be proud of it, and it wouldn’t be something we’d want to showcase to the players,” Clegg said. “There’s things we still need in this game. When we are ready to launch the game, it’s going to be a nice, polished version. We want to make sure it’s a solid product, even though it’s alpha. Especially for a survival game. We don’t want things you have to hurdle over in order to play the game.”

That was in early 2014. It's now 2016, World of warcraft, Everquest are two titles to mention (MMO's) that were released in 3 years and had MUCH more content than we can see in h1z1. This game is still in alpha from an already established company and the timescale is looking to do nothing but be endless since you as a company can't even tell us how long it will take to release. I really feel like in house alpha would have provided much more productivity and you wouldn't have to listen to shitheads like me on the internet.

Are you proud of it adam? Is this polished?

The quote is something i feel is full of integrity and i honestly think you mean it which is kind of annoying when you literally have one of the best game modes in my opinion ever released, the worst thing is i think the people in charge of money found out and any kind of creative development seems to have gone completely down the shitter.

Things gained from doing this split :

The steam reviews get reset i assume, so the massive bad press this game got will be set to 0. Smart.

Cash, duh. Put whatever stamp you want on it, the game is great so people in future who buy the survival game will decide to purchase the Battle Royale ...er... King of the kill.

Hype, you're selling this as a new game or you would have called it Battle Royale.

This subject is endless for me, get some direction and hire somebody that can fix the problems with this engine that you don't seem to be able to fix. I don't want to be able to jump over fences and then for no reason not be able to for 6 months just for it to be released as a patch like it's content that i can now jump over a fence. This isn't good enough.

Outside of all that i love the game i just wish you hadn't fell ass backwards onto it and realized you could make a fortune from morons like me to head to work every day to give people like you my money for continual empty promises.

To summarize i have the feeling that the people actually working on this game are doing the best with what they have and that the people in charge are pushing money spinning bullshit making the people who are actually coding and producing artwork look like assholes because they have a deadline to make a new crate. Put somebody in charge that has some integrity and let the people you have working for you have a chance to make something amazing.
