Week starting 1st August 2011

Monday:
Missions

Tuesday:
Missions

On Friday I'll be going away with Nastya for a long weekend. I was originally planning to release missions for GMs before then. Even though I think that's still possible, it would be pretty risky. I wouldn't have time to thoroughly test everything so there could be a lot of serious bugs. Normally that's not a big issue because I'm around to fix problems as soon as they occur. But being away will make this impossible (Nastya will kill me if I spent our weekend working!). So I've decided it'll be better to wait until I'm back. The ETA is now sometime Tuesday (or possibly Wednesday) next week.

Wednesday:
Missions

Thursday:
Missions

Friday+Saturday+Sunday:
Weekend break

  1. YAH! Good job Admin! You're hard work is about to pay off! Keep it up!

  2. Yeah admin great job man!

    I believe these people need to learn patience and put a dick in their mouth.

    You have to remember, most of your players are 10-13 year olds that want nothing but instant gratification.

    You still have alot of good players that contribute to the community like us. Keep up the good work! :)

  3. So basically if we're selfless drones sucking Admin's cock every chance we get then we're "good players" that "contribute to the community". I bought myself Gold for a few months, I contributed, not saying that I'll instantly need missions though I will say it'd be nice to have them, and I'm glad he's given us an ETA that he'll hopefully stick to.

  4. Go on AdminPWN!! one question, what is ETA?

    ReplyDelete
  5. ETA is Estimated Time Arrival, Ezequiel.

  6. Awesome! A one week wait time is better than one month. Thanks for the update, hope you have a great weekend.

  8. ETA is Estimated Time of Arrival, or basically a guess on when something will finish
    He says ETA is Tuesday, so missions will(might) be done around Tuesday

  9. why do people ask the same question on and on when it is right over there noses? what are they to lazy to read? and i am 12 andi think this game is good and i am not wining about missions. as you can see some other older players are less mature and i am not pointing out any names. ( looks at undeadsnake >.>)

  10. @Ian,

    Thats not really what I meant, but I appreciate the time and effort you put into that response.

  11. I bought a GM just so I could get the missions. F**k you AdminPWN AKA nut sucker.

  12. @Tiars,

    I know. Most fans are a bit too attached and basically are selflessly praising Neil as though he were a god. I just think those people need to lighten up and quit being a kiss ass and post constructive criticism.

    God forbid someone has an opinion that isn't totally %100 supporting him, I mean for christ sakes, shouldn't we be open to expressing our opinions? This is a development blog yah know?

  14. For all those people they are going to bad mouth me because of that, just remember this is the second time he said he would have missions up and didn't. If this is his job (As he says it is) that means we are his bosses because we pay his salary. At this rate his butt would have been fired.

  15. every1 just needs to shut their trap man ive seen youngsters that behave better than older men it doesnt matter how old u are,its how u are if ur an ass then ur an ass it doesnt matter and im not saying youngsters behave better im saying its all on how u behave........

    is that so diffuclut have you got no life

  17. How about we all be happy that Neil, during his down time, didn't say "Fuck it. I don't even care about doing this game anymore."? Is being thankful a little too much to be happy for? Has ANYONE seen me post a complaint during his down time and the bugs? No. Because (1) I act like a mature adult and wish to be seen as one and (2) am thankful for even having a zombie game that doesn't suck. This is mainly aimed at the complainers, who I will call out as I see fit

    1: UndeadSnake

    Yes. He is the only one I have repeatedly seen as pessimistic. Suck it up, man. Coding, testing, debugging, recoding, retesting, re-debugging, and publishing, takes a bit of time. I am happy with how things are going right now. Great work Neil!

    All the times I mention are estimates, which means they are liable to change. And for the record, calling my a nut sucker etc is just going to get you banned, so I'd give it a rest if I were you.

  24. Will there be other updates along with the mission updates?

    The arena could use a fix. and I don't know about anyone else but id love to see some inkling of what is planned for the clan system.

    I hope missions will be more in depth than the initial base we had in 2D.

    Will this be apart from indoors? with indoors and/or barricades? or is everything going to be an individual update.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Reznorock I AM PANDE

    He calls you GAUSS RIFLE WITH YOUR HACKER XD

    ReplyDelete
  26. @Rez:

    Well, seeing as how Admin has different release dates for Interiors and missions, they will most likely not be released on the same day unless we get a surprise. On top of that, indoors DOES NOT include barricades because, again, there are different deadlines.
    Now, this is an instance where I hope I'm wrong, but I know that it will be too much coding to have all of this done at once. So they will be individual updates. Hope I helped :3

    @PANDE:

    He's a Moderator, and I think the Gauss rifle is in the Elite Shop (?). If you're calling him a hacker, then this is my post to you. I honestly have little idea what you are saying >.>

    ReplyDelete
  27. @ Pande

    I'm glad you know who you are. btw, gauss is not the most powerful gun in the game so keep your unfounded statements to yourself.

    @ Taco

    I was hopeful that we would get them both together, but hopefully missions will pass the time till indoors and baricades come out.


    Also, I am not a moderator, I am a regular player, and the gauss is not in the elite shop it is a custom I got while I was a mod.


    Anyways.
    hopefully well get more detailed information on whats coming with the clan system. but it's going to be a long few months waiting for that and the pary and social systems etc.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Im new to this blog and have to say that this game is AWESOME!!!! I have had the GM since February and love it! I am very impressed and eagerly await the missions! Keep up the great work!! This game is far better then the other zombie net games out there so you are at the front lines Adminpwn well done!

    Enjoy your long weekend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Rez:

    Alrighty then. My bad :) And I know what you mean. I would love to see pics of an outline/template of the new clan system that Admin is developing when he has a chance. Gonna make sure to buy some UGCs to keep him motivated :3

    ReplyDelete
  30. Id love to just see text of what he has planned. the anticipation is killing me.


    As for missions, I don't ever recall the bugs for missions being very bad, why not release missions before the holiday and come back and fix whatever is wrong? I imagine everything wrong would be found in that time. plus wed get to play around with it all and not bother anyone....

  35. @Ian I understand where you're getting at, but you don't need to get all butthurt.

    I'm referring to the hundreds of people who come on here and start bitching that adminpwn should hurry up.

    I'm not trying to shove my hate at people with opinions, in fact I rarely post on these blogs and all I see is people raging that adminpwn should hurry up.

    ReplyDelete
  36. @Tiars

    Selective sight moar? I see plenty of people praising Admin.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I like how this all ended up focusing on kissing ass... I think this is a great game, and I'm excited for missions, as well as barricading, and everything else that is to come to this game. I don't think it matters what someone's opinion is toward Admin, all they are doing is expressing their opinion (however, negative comments are really lame), and those being called ass kissers are just people who really appreciate what they've been given and want to show it. No man is god, but it doesn't hurt to let him know that what he's doing is really cool.

    That being said, I really hope that the missions get up around Tuesday, but I will wait patiently if they don't, because I understand that Admin has a life outside of DF too, and things happen; including laziness (I believe everyone has fallen off the horse at least once in their lives while trying to accomplish a goal, including myself, so fingers shouldn't be pointed).

    Keep you the good work Admin, it will get here when it does.

    ReplyDelete
  38. yup igot 3 things to say to admin:
    1)you should realy make a team of workers so you can have less time working and alot more help
    2)your the main developer right you should make a tablet of the things you should start to work on like Important>Main>Other each is like a build of the game important are the cheat overhaul and the payment and stuff that keeps the game running smooth, Main are the community's wants like for example: the missons ,other are like for example: create new weapons and new monsters etc stuff that apper in the ideas and suggestions that ithink you rarly even look at it thats why you need a team to work while you do true admin things like idk bann scammers and hackers or make a comment in the forums so evryone starts to say :OMG its adminpwn icant belive he posted in my thread!
    3)make a damn lend option in the market it will save us trouble of a middle man and make an item trade like trade for example: iwant to trade someone my m60 for his usan imake that option
    4) you just got rick rolled isaid ihave 3 things XD and ibought your gm my accounts name is lord4rolan and 1 last thing if iget killed by a bann hammer how much days will iget banned P.S:idont want to try it..

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hey Neil, Not bitching in anyway, very excited for the missions.

    But according to your previously posted itinerary the Unity3d update is not the next in line, as I have recently learned although not confirmed by you or any other mod, unity is what drives the innercity and flash is in fort.

    Lag is a bitch for myself and many other players, If you could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider making the unity update the next priority myself and all other lag victims would be SO THANKFUL

    keep up the good work, this game is pretty much my entire life, sad I know but, I can't work and it helps distract me from my pain/problems :D

  40. Re: AdminPwn
    Sorry about saying it but I stand by it. This is a development blog not an everybody say nice things to me blog.

    I don't know what to say anymore. You don't care about us only our money. Hines the EXP increase. Did you really think people where not going to be at level 200 by now?

  41. @BrianMMXII

    If you haven't noticed..... THE GAME HAS BEEN IN UNITY FOR THE PAST YEAR!

    That is all, thank you.

  42. I am just wondering, will the barricade option be ever be avaible again. (In translation: will i ever be able to barricade myself into a house and live there for a while.)
    P.S. Great job with the piees of other people dyeries
    P.P.S. Sorry for the typos :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. @UndeadSnake

    The reason he raised the xp limit was because you get way more xp in 3D, and then the missions will be an even bigger boost towards xp. So, if the xp was still the same, everyone would be shooting straight up to 200. Or pretty damned close, within a short amount of time. With the doubled xp, it'll take some time actually, instead of allowing everyone to just pop up there. And then, there's the elite shop being opened to all 200's permanently. You don't want a huge group of people shooting to that, and having a huge surge of people with dusk gear, now do ya?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Reznorock has a good point. Why not just release missions before you go? Are we not in an Open Beta? Does that not make us Beta Testers? I'm sure the community will find the bugs, and leave feedback. Either way 1 week isn't that long to wait.

    ReplyDelete
  45. @Vaenn

    Dusk gear's lowest price is $500,000. No noob is going to have a dusk weapon. The dusk shop should be open to anyone at anytime. Pwn should put the cap level at 400 and any level after level 200 get nothing. Whats the point of having dusk gear if you can't get anymore EXP? I'm in college to be a game developer so I know what i'm talking about. Neil is just sucking the life out of this game. For the people that play "Now and Again" i'm sorry. I know i'm the only one sticking up for you.

  49. Dude I am so glad you have postponed it, in a way. My birthday is August 5th, and I was going to become a GM then, so looks like I will be a part of the first people to try it out. THANK YOU.

  53. Please let this be the end of it.

    Is your game and you are going to run it how you want to and if I don't like it I can just stop playing.

    I only play a about an hour a day, a few times a week, so when i come on to find EXP has been double is makes me upset. Then i spend money on your game hoping you'll keep your word and i don't get missions it upsets me even more.

    I'm sorry for upsetting you. Have fun on your vacation and I look forward to missions on Wednesday if all goes well. But please remember the little guys too. Are we cool?

    ReplyDelete
  54. "I'm in college to be a game developer so I know what i'm talking about."

    Actually, what you know is a bunch of theory about game design/development. If you actually think you're going to make $4M/year, you're deluding yourself and need to analyze your situation a bit closer.

    Also, if you are confident enough in your l337 $k!11z that you provide someone with a hard deadline of when something is going to be done, you're crazy. When you're developing something (game, app, whatever), things rarely go as planned and time lines rarely go unbroken, trust me, I've been there.

    So, lay off Adminpwn, he's been busting his ass for the past 3 years now and has come up with a pretty kickass game...yes it'll be nice when missions/interiors get done, but, you can't expect Neil to give up his life outside DF to placate a bunch of whining neophytes that have nothing better to do than bitch at him for missing deadlines.

    Remember what Aristotle said "The more you know, the more you know you don't know."

  56. I said i was sorry.
    But i have a life too.

    PS: COD Black Ops sold over 7 million copies at $60 a pop.

    Thats $420 million. The development team only gets 25%, thats $105 millions. There are 30 people on that development team. So that means each of them got $3,500,000. It hasn't even been a year and they are making MW3. And i didn't even add the 3 Map packs that sold 3 million each for $15 each. Get my point?

  58. understood.....i was typing my post as you posted yours and didn't see it til i posted mine...also, how many games do you know that take off like MW?...in all honesty i do hope that you can become part of a team that hits something like that...that would be awesome and is something that all devs should/do strive fore, the whole 'golden egg'...i believe, by and large, the majority DF players have lives as well, but it doesn't help anyone to be so childish as to resort to name calling...as you said, you're in college, not grammar school anymore...get my point?

  59. Dead frontier is going HAM!!!! =D cant wait for missions so i can play but what can we go use for transportation easier though? Is there anything said for easier transportation

    The estimates you gave for Game Developer Salary are a utter failure. You do not seem to have the slightest idea of how the Video Games Industry works. Please refrain from telling bullshit.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Its true, a game developer bissnis is a very hard job! I know a guy, who is called Over00 and he is a game developer. He makes great games (like Golemizer but needs a little better graphics) but he is almost broke. Game developing is extrordenerly hard and takes a lot of time and ussually doesn't pay off. So let's make the best of AdminPwn's situation and suport him on his choices as much as we can!

  70. @undead, you're fukin crazy. $300k a year for game development? That's if you're top of the tops. You'll be lucky to break $60k the first year. And how do I know? Because I was in that industry you dumshit.

  71. hmm iheard that the double exp thing was because of the easy level ups and because of the missons that are coming out soon but that sounds stupid dont you think that realising double exp is supposed to be with the missons? and p.s the double exp made me have a huge WTF moment when ifirst say it and made me get my lazy ass of and go grind lol

  73. Hey guy's you are saying that you are game developers, and you are complaining about the money. I know it by first hand. In my country a professional who makes and animates 3D models is get about 3000$\month salary. This is more than 6 times more than the salary of an ordinary worker. If you are working for large companies in a GOOD A category team then you get get nearly 10 times more every month.

    On the topic. I do not know how many GM-are there but if there is only 1000 and each of them pay 10$ per month that is 10 thousand. If we calculate with this much money. He earn 3000$ at every month. I want to be a game developer. It's quiet heavy to get between the grand ones. But if you got in then you do not have to worry about the money. It's not the world's best paying job but quiet good.

    I want to see the missions. I'm learnt a lot from this game. About how to make certain things. So I'm looking forward to it. Keep up the good work Neil.

    ReplyDelete
  74. really? 3000$ a month is 6 times ordinarly worker? in the U.S that is the average. and let's not forget the credits they cost some 2 not just gold members

    ReplyDelete
  79. ger23 different sources some sights use cost of the game times copies while others use what the game business made. then there could also only tell you how much the pc version made or the x-box so it is all different. either way it is a lot of money. average in u.s a year is like 60k it is wrong that the harder workers get paid the same or lower than everyone else.

    1. You're talking about one of the most successful game franchises out there. Saying that you're going to be working on something as successful as that is like saying you're definitely going to win the lottery.

    2. I don't know the exact setup of team behind COD, but normally it's something like this. Shop or website sells game for $40. Of that publisher makes about $15 after cost of sales. Of that the developer gets maybe $7. And then there is the issue on what kind of funds were needed to actually develop the game in the first place and how they are going to be repaid. Suffice to say, it's not as simple as "developer gets 25%" and in 95% of cases they end up none of the profit beyond their initial advance (which was used to pay their normal salaries during development).

    3. Any profit generated is not going to be split evenly among the team. Chances are even if they made $50m profit, the owner(s) of the studio will keep $49m to themselves, and maybe give out a bonuses with the other $1m.

    So in conclusion, unless you own one of the most successful game development studios in the world, you'll be unlucky to make more than a standard game development salary, which is anywhere in the $20k to $80k range normally, plus if you're lucky a yearly bonus or stock options worth maybe about $30k. The upper end of course is only for those who are damn good at their job and have worked extremely hard for probably 10-20 years. Most graduates of the type of course you are in will never work in the game industry, not even in a low level position.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Also want to point out that the core development team for COD4 was more like 100 people.

    ReplyDelete
  84. @Admin
    Can't believe no one else called Snake out on that. 30 people development team? LOL. Yea right. The other thing I only saw one person say, was that the development team doesn't really get 25%. The workers just have a normal salary, and its decent, but its not a high paying job. Its the publishers that get all the money. Developers make anywhere from 60-130k a year plus bonuses. But thats all AAA title talk. For something smaller, like DF, Admin pretty much gets most of it. But you have to remember he has to pay for server etc.

    ReplyDelete
  85. @UndeadSnake
    For the most part, people who go into the game design profession as developers DO NOT do it for the money. Those who think they'll make it big are, frankly, deluded. Right out of school you'll be lucky to find a job unless you've interned heavily or have other connections.
    To this effect, I too am going to college to get a BA in Game Production. Why am I taking a game design course? I love games so much I want to make working on them my job. By this I do not mean "I love playing games". I mean I spend most of my time with them. I mean I love everything about them, disseminating game mechanics, examining player-based markets, spending hours with games seeing where things break and breaking them down to get a feel for how levels and mechanics were designed. I decided my major with the full knowledge that it was a long shot and with full knowledge that I'm completely devoted to the field and video games as a whole. I decided to do it because I want to be part of something I love and get paid for it, regardless of if it pays well.

    tl;dr
    Don't go in it for the money, go in it because it's your passion.

  86. AdminPwn is it possible that we somehow send you messages or so called recommendations for the game. Something like ideas what we woud like to see in the game? I have a great idea but i dont know is it allowed to send them to you and how.

  89. Hey, can somebody help me with a problem i'm having? The problem is: whenever I go to Inner City, after the 'Loading Area' screen has finished loading, instead of being put in the usual Inner City starting area (Near guards, for me), it displays a message saying 'Security Error'. Can somebody tell me how to fix this, please?

  94. Dude the game is glitching up so bad. Every 10 minutes it crashes and internet explorer restarts it does it on both of my computers so its got to be the game. Also I see people appear out of know where and disappear again over and over again. I have died so many times from these glitchs I cant make it to mP13 without it glitching then I die because my character will walk by himself or when im in inventory it will mess up and zombies attack me. Im not trying to complain just letting you know so you can fix them. This is an awesome game dude thank you for all your hard work. I can see this game geting very popular. TY

    ReplyDelete
  95. well i havent been into the inner city in a while but if ur using internet explorer it probably will do that lol cuz ur comps prolly just slow, or u lose connection and enter single player then characters pop out when u enter multiplayer and then single and then multiplayer again that might be the problem, however, i havent been into inner city so maaybe they are glitches

    ReplyDelete
  100. @Benfeild You obviously did not read my first post properly, or at least didn't understand it. Yes I am refering to the NEWEST update to Unity which was outlined in this very Blog last month, behind missions, interiors, and a few other things. I lag terribly in the innercity, even though according to task manager and my connection it's not on my end 90% of the time. My DESPERATE Hope is that the unity update and non browser caching will eliminate most if not all my lag issues.

    ReplyDelete
  101. oh yea which reminds me..... admin if u read this can u tell me why sometimes i go into inner city my maps blank,only showing the green dots of other players and my character sometimes has a black blank lower half lol and sometimes hes completely black and other people are too, if its just my comp then its ok but if its the unity i hope it gets fixed when we upgrade it.....

    ReplyDelete
  106. Wait, I don't get it. So:
    1. UndeadSnake says something about the gaming industry that may or may not be true (I dunno, he sounded smart to me, but whatever.)
    2. He(She?) also comments on the delay of the missions that all of the players seem to want equally in a manner that was significantly less rude and more mature than the majority of other players' methods. (He's not cursing or yelling at the administrator of pwning and I certainly don't remember him calling names or being a "bully" or "hater.")
    3. AdminPwn says one thing to him about how he won't be successful and that he'll be unemployed and everyone (not literally, but, you know) hops on his *carrot* (or any other phallus-shaped object that you might prefer) and agrees with him, as if they know that a certain snake zombie thingy will fail at life because "Admin knows all".
    4. And so apparently, that qualifies as UndeadSnake being "owned?"
    Now, for all you know, this could just be UndeadSnake using a puppet account, but whatever. I don't claim to know more than anyone else, because frankly, I don't. But I do know that everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone is entitled to their own hopes and aspirations. Ridiculing UndeadSnake because they think they'll be an awesome dev is wrong. And no, AdminPwn saying that he won't be successful does not mean that he won't. Sorry, UndeadSnake, I know I'm the only one standing up for you. Everyone else, come at me, brahs. May your words strike me down with the burning fury of ten million turtles who can't flip over off of their backs on a hot day.

    tl;dr version:
    I'm trying to sound smart on the internet. I have a bouncy ball that glows in the dark.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Some of you people are insanely dumb. Don't defend UndeadSnake and don't defend AdminPwn either. Neither of them honestly have any pull over anything said in here, so in reality, it doesn't matter at all.

    UndeadSnake is stupid for saying he knows more than AdminPwn because he's "going to college for game development" and AdminPwn isn't the brightest for even bothering to call him out on it, because we all know those "college kids" are all talk and no walk. They can talk things up as much as they want, but if they've never actually done anything of importance, they know nothing.

    Now quit arguing and get to those missions, Admin! >:3

    ReplyDelete
  108. Well, atleast somebody is suporting him. you see, I dont think he will fail, I think that he will have a belowe avarage hard life if he decides to be a Indie (solo) developer.


    And Just one more question that somebody must answer:

    HOW DO I SEND MY IDEA FOR A WEAPON TO AdminPwn?!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Support ticket, but I don't recommend it. Just make a post in the Weapons Megathread in the Ideas and Suggestions section of the Dead Frontier forum. Yakkety will love you long time for that. ;)

    And no, UndeadSnake shouldn't be defended.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Well, UndeadSnake is innocent untill proven guilty! (or is it the other way around?). Anyway, can you give me the link to that forum thread becouse i will never find it.

    ReplyDelete
  111. The players make this game something not AdminPwn. Without us he would have nothing but empty space on the internet.

    We all, ALL of us want missions. So when I pay for them and don't get them it upsets me. I'm not a millionaire or even a thousand-aire so $8 in this economy is something. I don't care if its a penny if I pay you for something I want that something or my money back. ( Same with all of you )

    PS: Pwn's reason for not having missions ready isn't because he burned his hands pulling a little girl out of a fire. No. Its because he is on vacation. So I have a right to be very upset because (in his on words more or less) he won't be able to go on vacation without us paying for this game.

    ReplyDelete
  112. "...(He's not cursing or yelling at the administrator of pwning and I certainly don't remember him calling names or being a "bully" or "hater.")..."

    Obviously you haven't read all of his posts then...he flat out called adminpwn a 'nut sucker'...

    Now, on to other issues...I totally agree with what HeirApparent said about not defending Neil or UndeadSnake. Hell, Neil even said 'I don't want to hear any comments taking pity on me or telling me that I deserve to take it easy etc. It's time to cut the bulls**t and get some work done.' (June 18, 2011). So, to that end, it's time that Neil get off his ass and get some shit done.

    I know that sounds like I'm being a dick, but I'm not. I'm a developer and I know that sometimes it takes that kind of 'tough love' to get you motivated to get things done.

    I also agree (somewhat) with what UndeadSnake said in his last comment...'The players make this game something, not AdminPwn. Without us he would have nothing but empty space on the internet.'...I agree that it's the players that make games popular, but, let us not forget that it's the developers make the games...

    Also, every developer/designer/artist hits a plateau from time to time where they find it hard to find the motivation to take the project(s) to the 'next level' (e.g. new features, massive overhauls, even simple bug fixes)...as I said, I've been there. So, that being said, maybe a vacation from DF is exactly what Neil needs to be able to reinvigorate himself so he can come back refreshed and start banging out updates. We all know that this game is something special (imho, it's the best zompocalypse survival game out there). We have to remember though, DF is still in 'Open Beta' so we have to expect that there are going to be bugs/glitches, limited feature set etc., etc../rant

  120. Undead Snake, you are an idiot. You complain that people jump on your ass about you making 1 comment. Well, don't want them on your ass? Shut the fuck up then. I made a google account JUST to say that. In other words, Admin, can't wait till missions. Hope they live up and go beyond 2D's missions.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I made Admin talk. Moo wa ha ha.

    But seriously Ger23 I am in the gaming industry. I work with game producers so I can build my portfolio down at ITT. So that when I get out of college I get say 'I worked with So and So well you hire me?' All the college does is provide me with a TON of high end computers and gives me connections with game producers.

    To say Admin is in the gaming industry is like saying anyone that has made a LBP level is in the gaming industry.

  122. undeadsnake i don't know but it seems adminpwn is in the gaming industry.

    ReplyDelete
  123. @ UndeadSnake

    Well, I'm sorry that AdminPwn absolutely STOLE your money. You're a CALL OF DUTY FAN. You've been having your money stole from you by that worthless game all along and you have a problem with AdminPwn because of EIGHT WHOLE DOLLARS? Eight dollars doesn't even buy you necessities at the super market so you can survive.

    Yet you come in here and bitch when you probably have every Call of Duty game and all the map packs, surmounting to a total of over $500 that you could have spent at the supermarket buying food to SURVIVE?

    Please, sir. You're pissed about $8 when none of the Call of Duty games are anything different, just a new set of maps with new weapons and new perks to kill people on. Grow up, kid, $8 is nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  124. $8 is something now. Not two years ago! The economy sucks. Have you not read any of my post. My parents bought most of my stuff. I'm 18, in college. Now I got to buy everything myself AND AS I SAID if I give you a penny for something I want that something or my money back. The amount of money doesn't matter its the being robed that matters. Yes he robed me. He said 1st of August. Now 1st is the 10th. So 10 days have been robed from me. I don't play DF that much. I heard that there was going to be missions so I bought a GM AND GOT NO MISSIONS!!

    ReplyDelete
  125. Missions? MISSIONS? am i dreaming?

    ReplyDelete
  126. Admin is just sad and heartbroken that they didnt pick him for the development team of Battlefield 3 ;P

    and i can tell u snake, haters gonna hate, just hope for the best and give everything you have, and you can achieve much.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Undead, DF is in open Beta - GM's get to test new game additions before non-paying members, but all content is eventually released to non-paying members.

    Admin has always said the mission completion dates given were estimations - no promises were made, so no promises were broken. You were not robbed.

    You chose to become a GM knowing that missions were currently unavailable and that the availability date given was an estimation - that's on you. If you only wanted GM to be able to access missions early, you should have waited until you saw missions were available to Gold members before joining.

    ...And it needs to be said, at 18, you're an adult. If $8/month is such a make-or-break amount for you that you need to make this much of a fuss about it, you need to re-prioritize - especially if you don't play that much. This game shouldn't come before necessities.

    ReplyDelete
  128. 8$ is a whole hour of ur life :p if u work.... and if admin got selected to develop battlefield 3 then who knows when DF will finish...........

  135. @ UndeadSnake, might as well sue him and see where that gets you!

    Dead Frontier is a BETA, and as Neil has said before.... All dates are ESTIMATED. You shouldn't have been so dumb about it. Maybe this will teach you to wait until missions come out to buy a gold membership next time or just fucking wait two weeks for it to be available to everyone! What's wrong with you? You clearly have some sort of mental complex..

  138. You guys are all retarded. You don't no the value of a dollar. You have no idea about my life and what goes on in it.

    If $8 is so invaluable to you why don't you give to charity or bums on the street? Why work hard for something if its so invaluable to you. Let me answer. Because $8 is important.

    You are all hypocritical punks. I'm willing to bet EiGhT bUcKs you are all going to continue to talk about this because you have nothing better to do then talk down to someone better then you. This will be my last post.

    Sorry to all I've upset to all it was not my intention.

  140. $8 = Sandwich, coke, and cookies at 7 eleven(quick lunch). $8/month Gold membership = the ability to relieve a days worth of stress from work at home PRICELESS. I think for me those $8 is money well spent.

  142. @Johnny C. you can relieve stress without paying the 8 dollars, you dont get that much unless ur a hardcore player and need all those little perks >.>

    ReplyDelete
  143. If I'm willing to pay $ 8 a month.
    BUT SHOULD SEE A SPECIAL DATE 5 DOLLARS TO PAY SO MUCH TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE NO GM

    Another option is ONLY 3 WEEKS AFTER ALL ARE GM
    DAY THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER GM
    ASI would experience

    ReplyDelete
  144. @ UndeadSnake, thank you! It's because I'm right, huh?

  146. heirapparent o yeah if 8 dollars is so important as undeadsnake says it is why does he waste it on a game?

    ReplyDelete
  147. Not siding with undeadsnake or anything, but GM doesn't go far in DF, and the only thing Undeadsnake considered worth those 8$ he didn't get. Naturally anyone would be annoyed that they aren't getting what they think they paid for, whether it's double EXP or early access to missions.

    He is being a child about it, Since admin says quite often that all dates are estimates. And there wasn't 100% chance that he would release them when undeadsnake bought GM.

    However there was also no 100% guarantee that admin wouldn't double the EXP needed to level to make what GMs were paying for completely useless. So then why should you guys have a right to complain that you weren't getting what you paid for, if he can't? (Although he did take it to extremes)

    ReplyDelete
  148. i still think admin should have made more xp when missions where finally out so right now i am not going to play till missions are 95% done. btw that i mean the bugs only

    ReplyDelete
  149. @drago443. Well I work hard for my money 50+ hours/per week. My point was $8 isn't squat to me, compare, to what I get in return from this game. I love the perks that come with it, since I don't have a lot of time to spend playing this game. I play whenever I get done with work. Or weekends.

    ReplyDelete
  150. That 8$ keeps AdminPwn alive. And if you didn't know,the Dead Frontier Server needs to be maintained and that costs!

    ReplyDelete
  151. I hardly ever read the comments on this blog anymore because it is always the same fucking bullshit. No comments or discussions about development of the game, just people attacking each other over the stupidest shit ive ever seen. Reminds me of the arguments and fights back in highschool. GROW UP.

  153. And now, for something completely different.

    Missions in 2 days for GMs! (hopefully...)

    ReplyDelete
  154. AdminPwn, you STILL have not gotten back to me about my account. My GM has expired by now. 3/4 of my time as a GM, I couldn't get on because the library's IP was banned. I expect another month of GM once you unban the IP.

    My Dead Frontier username is Stormforce02. I'm pretty sure you can look up my email from there, as I'm not putting it here for everyone to see.

    Also, like I've said, I expect you to respond to this, because if you don't, you have essentially stolen money from me.

    ReplyDelete
  155. well i think maybe theres a few errors in the game that maybe fixed in the future
    1) Titanium blades should be 2 swords instead of one
    2) Wall 500 as the same graph than other shotguns and hasnt buttstock
    3) All rifles have the same graph like m 21 and garand (i would really love a mauser with the adecuate graph)
    4) Saiga and Usan have the same graph
    5) 16 gauge shootguns just reach a 4 shell gun ??? maybe admin can do something about that idk a 8 shell loadout ?

    ReplyDelete
  156. well since ive missed most of the bitching at undead i would like to saaay.....Hi admin :P

    ReplyDelete
  157. Also now that Missions are coming out when i know exactly when they are out ill simply text in that 8$ that undead was QQing about and get to enjoy my day, Because thats the smart way of doing it. not relying on estimations but checking to see every week if it has come out yet and THEN buy GM.
    -Crosshair-
    PS: Cant wait for missions, ill rejoin the game after those are up! untill then ive spent waaay to much time playing this game its lost it zeal.

  160. right now 16 gauge shotgun= fail.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Damn. I wasn't here when Snake was being a retard. Guess I'll have to check back more often in other posts to call him out on other bullshit he posts. Anyway, Admin is one hell of a developer to code something like this by himself. He honestly probably does make a lot of money off of it, because he deserves it. To complain about paying so little for such a great game is just ungrateful.
    P.S.
    Undeadsnake said his college provides him with top of the line computers... no it doesn't. No college does that. Still don't understand the point of lying over the internet (:

  163. @ undeadsnake Why do you hate on this game so much? It was ment for fun not arguing, If you dont like the game You might aswell spend your 8$ on terraria (I speak french So I dont have good gramar Im just transliting this in google)
    And just leave Neil Alone, You just want attention and thats why you post So if you want to spen 8$ spend it At 7-11 or Buy terraria(great game) casue theres no point of you Arguing about this. And at josh. I totally agree with you Stop lieing over the internet for all We know aYOu caould be 15 But Il admit Im 12 From montreal You could even be A very smart 11 year old who Copy and pastes thing on the internet. If not Youve done your homework.

  164. @Ger23, if he went to a rich college, then why would he be arguing about the $8 he used up? xD

    ReplyDelete
  165. just to clear everything up. undeadsnake complained that he paid 8$ for missions he never got when admin clearly stated deadlines where just estimates and missions weren't even out yet. he supposedly goes to a rich college so why is he complaining about 8$. he says 8$ is so important and he needs it bad but he uses it up on a game. what is wrong with that guy. it is stupidity i say stupidity. case closed. but if you guys want to bitch at him more be my guest.

    ReplyDelete
  166. forgot about this. he says adminpwn knows nothing about gaming and he does more when he isn't even in the business yet and isn't even sure about his future.

    ReplyDelete
  167. dont forget that shootguns can use all shells i mean a shotgun can use a 12 16 or 20 since the shell its the same the prob its the bullets 12 gauge = 12 bullets (larger) 16 gauge = 16 bullets 20 gauge 20 bullets and so on theres some specialized sguns that use weird cartridges or ammo but as i see thats not the case, anyways admin can do something about it maybe (would attract new players) and furthermore i think the lack of the molotov its bad!!! the molotov its the clasic antizombie weapon , i know it improves the infect but hehehehe who cares maybe they can flee and give time :P

  169. @Ian

    I read what you wrote & I do agree, If I have positive criticism, Ill post. If I have something negative to say. Ill say that too, but Ill leave that for a support ticket. Stuff that upsets me I do not feel needs to be mentioned publicly, unless in form of a debate. While I am guilty of giving praise, I am not kissing his ass, Ive spent well over $1,000 of my own money on this mmo, and as a former mod, for a different mmo, I've learned, positive feed back, will usually light a fire under the devs ass faster than "you lied you suck your taking too long drink a case of god damn red bull and do the fucking job NOW." That there, serves no positive results But "hey love the mmo, I got more money to spend once you get further along in the mmo, so dont keep me waiting too long" says the same thing , Take too long I'm gonna spend my cash elsewhere. But I have always been a huge zombie fan, and when I found this game, no other mmo mattered, so if I am kissing Admins ass(its cause I am just a lover of all things dead) But I agree, if I have disagreements Ill post, after all, the game is being made, in part, based off user fed back right?(and are you Ian from DF, if so, thanks for the help you gave me last year, oh shit, did I just kiss your ass too now? =D)

  170. Ok everyone if you wanna know the truth I'm 10 and I don't flame over Admin postponing this stuff... and to mention he has a family and it's a one man development team. People why don't you stop flaming and enjoy the god damn game
