Wow holy fuck, just walking around, kill a zombie and get $446 and actually find spawned loot for the first time, awesome!
Crash in middle of road.
God fucking damn it... to fix that bug with the update required thingy you have to reinstall the client and the whole god damn game...
Atleast that's what [URL="http://forums.thewarz.com/showthread.php?24832-Fix-to-get-the-WarZ-Alpha-Patch-%2810-16-2012%29/page2"]this guy[/URL] here says.

And its only for 48 hours in the beta, its currently in alpha.

You should at least be able to store the shit you found, right?

Global Inventory, yeah.
Yeah guys how do I get pass the fact that every time I join a server that isnt full it loads until it finishes that I get back to the character select. Then the next time I try to join it says I need to update. I can't seem to get on to the war z forum to find out.
Been popping up on Facebook comments and Forums that reinstalling the client completely can fix the client needs updating bug. I spent 10years downloading the client and don't have the patience to try it myself, if someone else is desperate give it a whirl.

You just need to keep trying, works like 10% of the time
In some ways, you can compare this game to Fallout New Vegas.
New Vegas is almost just a mod for Fallout 3, a larger and developed mod. The animations are pretty terrible overall. And crashing was a common issue.
Yet people loved NV. Took some time after the release for it to be pached to what it is at today.
I still very much enjoy this game and can see a good fun time with it.
My thoughts so far. Played for maybe 5 hours?
Disregarding the alpha bugs (alpha, beta, who cares what it is called. It is still in its testing phase), I see the potential for a really good game. Some of the initial player problems that stood out to me were
* Zombies are way too hard to kill with melee
* Sounds are way too loud for zombies (no way to tell whether they are right next to you or 100 metres away)
* Other players don't make running sounds, even when running, unless it is on metal or road
* Melee way too overpowered. Realistic maybe, but gameplay wise, it's not fun.
* Loot is too rare. Not talking about guns, I mean stuff like water, soda and food. It may be that I am just getting to places too late and it is all gone, but it would be nice to know how stuff and when. Is it like DayZ where it spawns when you enter the vicinity?
* Not enough smaller trees for cover.
* Crouch walk speed is too slow (may as well crawl)
* Zombies seem to aggro you more if you go prone than if you crouch walk.
* No loot. In my 5 hours, I think I found a bottle of water and a medkit. And a thousand flash lights.
My game isn't even working anymore. Keeps finding servers, loading, then loading again, and then returning to the character selection.
I wouldn't really consider Beta as a release. Beta is on the 31st and they pump progress into the game constantly.
(I remember them mentioning that they disabled a lot of things for the beginning of Alpha for good reason ofc, and if you disable some things it can cause other problems. I'm pretty optimistic in thought of progress being put in majorly in a couple of weeks.)
By the way, you guys aren't obligated to purchase the game in Alpha/Beta state, not to mention two of the three deals ends on the 20th of this month. If you don't have the intentions to play through bugs and report them as needed then save your money until the ACTUAL release (not Beta) of the game, then choose whether or not you want to spend your money.
Yeah it's fucking buggy as shit in Alpha, it's meant to be.

Um, what? Can you name a single mod for FO3 that added the level of content that NV did?
The only way you could compare WarZ to FONV is if FONV was a fpsrpg set in Washington DC called "The Wasteland Z" made in UE3 or something.
"Do we expect bugs - YES we do. We're like 99% sure that game will be broken by our players on day one , and we're like 60% sure that we'll have some server issues
For that I personally appologies to you, if your first day experience will be lets say not as fun as you've expected. Lets assure we'll be there to fix it ASAP. "
Mark my words, this game is a massive cashgrab. They'll release a couple of patches, make it F2P (there's already a cash shop, so why not?) once sales decline, and let it burn and move on once they've made enough cash.

Yes, but the money I found just disappeared, which fucking sucks

Oh, I forgot to mention above, you get thirsty way too fast. It's like 10 minutes and you are dehydrating. And the fact that water and food is so scarce means you die every 20 minutes (if not flashlighted to death first)
New status update from The War Z on Facebook - ''We're upgrading our payment server to make sure you'll be getting better and more reliable service. Please visit our BUY page after 12:30pm PST.''
Well shit, i am starting to think i was right about them just caring about the money with this game. STILL no fixes. They are not impressing me, altho i will admit the game is fun.
Not sure why people are dumb-rating me, the devs behavior so far has been entirely consistent with cheap cashgrab tactics. They reused most of their assets from WarInc, a game roundly criticized as pay2win garbage. They [url=http://i.imgur.com/EBOr7.jpg]copy-pasted[/url] their TOS from League of Legends, and to top it all off they're charging 20 dollars to play what they call an 'alpha'--and they plan on a full release next month.
Rate me whatever you wish, I'll be proved right in the end. Nobody should be giving these people money.

What's wrong with this picture?
Finally made it into a server and was killed by invisible zombies. I heard them, but the only ones I could see were at least 50m ahead of me. Then BOOM! 4 hits and I'm dead.
Zombie strength needs to be toned down to about 1/3 of the current strength, and they need to stop being invisible.
I was checking wikipedia to see what they actually promised to be in the game, and see this:

An incorrect rock placement. Meshes are made with only one side to heighten performance. This is true in EVERY game. They just placed that one incorrectly.
