Just hang in there.. The animations are definitely coming. Just like the vehicles.. Oh.. And don't forget the roaming animals! Yeah! And the NPC's! Oh yeah! There's gonna be so many NPC's! Don't worry! It's all in the next update!

Right, so I'll take it from the top and I'll elaborate on my opinions. Graphics - I don't care about them - still. It can be 2D. I'm here for the gameplay, not looks. I don't care how pixelated it looks. Map - The map is already gigantic. In my opinion, there is absolutely no need to expand it further, before core mechanics has been taken care of. Let the modding community add extra parts for that if necessary. It takes 20-30 minutes to run/walk between the two cities. Even if you start to put things in between, it'll just suffer from the same problem as Skyrim, seeing that a larger map does not equal more content. (Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.) VOIP - Why are so few people able to argue for their own point of view on this site? It's ridiculous how many of you think you can speak on other peoples behalf. I DON'T think this is important at all, because I play the game with friends over Skype. Having played Day-Z with VOIP, I can tell you that most people don't care, it's a deathmatch simulator anyway. The only thing VOIP was used for in both versions of Day-Z was for 12 year olds to tell me to suck their balls after they RDM'ed me. And you're right, there were a lot of updates in between I didn't give credit for - like the wilderness update (which was contributed by a modder, if I'm not mistaken) but again, that's not why I'm here. I'm here for the main selling point - NPC's. How difficult is this to understand? And btw., don't twist my words - I called the updates unnecessary, not useless. There is a clear distinction between the two.

Threads like these are a result of fans wanting answers due to lack of statement and updates from the developers. NPC's are still used as a part of the advertisement, both of the main site and the Steam-page.

I wouldn't go this far, though. I think the product delivered so far is very nice. However, the analogy about the time-frame is definitely valid.

Listen here - you don't get to condescend to people, treat other supporters like kids with down syndrome, and then play it off like you didn't have it coming. You knew exactly what you were doing, and you thought you sounded cool doing it. Whatever that tells you about me, I don't care - you could have avoided that completely, if you hadn't responded like an immature sixteen year old trying to sound superior - And you clearly seem to agree with me on that, seeing that you've changed your tune completely. And now that you're already speaking for the company (I don't know by whose authority) , then tell me; if it's such a worn-out topic as you say, then why not post a general message on the forum's front page, or the game's front page stating that the current state of NPC's and vehicle's is uncertain. Once again, we're a lot of people here that are waiting for updates on this. EnigmaGrey; Thank you for the answer. Well, I wouldn't say that I was upset - at least until I met the more annoying side of the fan-base for the game. I understand that development takes time. I've played this game for over three years now. I've recommend it to four other friends, and we've played it extensively, usually with communication over Skype - which is why the VOIP isn't relevant for me. Same goes for the graphics, I think it was fine. The 2D models were awesome. I didn't mind them at all. I just noticed the game in my Steam library today, and thought I wanted to see how the development was going. But since there wasn't any updates on the NPC's or vehicles no the webpage, I just wanted to ask here. However, I didn't realize that it was going to be such a problem with people, that I asked a simple question.

Alright, so first of; if you're unable to respond nothing but sarcasm; go fuck yourself. Secondly; TIS is a company, a business, and I bought a product from their company because of their advertisement based on promises that claimed NPC's and vehicles in their online world. A promise that has not yet been even close to being delivered, MANY years after advertising with it. So if you can't understand why I might have questions about how a product I invested in is doing in its developement; then go fuck yourself. Thirdly; if you've heard this many times before, there might be a reason for that. It's not just coincidence. It's not just me asking this question. If you take a look on their Steam-page, there are HUNDREDS more asking the exact same question - namely because there is no one addressing the issue about the lack of the core elements that was advertised in this game. If you're unable to understand this; then go fuck yourself. We're done here. SlyWolf and VanVon; Thank you, for both responding like normal people, and not like the rest of the dim-witted fanboys that seems to saturate this forum. There is nothing wrong with asking questions about a product, especially not when you've personally invested in the business - to further their potential.

In the early 2014, I posted a topic (which has now been deleted) regarding when the NPC's and vehicles would be implemented, and it's now been two and a half years without any progress on that front at all. Instead, you've focused on graphical updates, VOIP - both of which seems completely unnecessary to me, and expanding the map - last part being something that the modding community was already doing. So, I come to ask you now; why are we not getting any progress on the two core mechanics you sold the game on in the beginning? [EDIT: It has been deleted]

Is there mod support for the multiplayer in this build?
