[QUOTE=Cheeseist;38912253]They... They listened? Holy shit it might have a chance[/QUOTE]
they've actually listened to the community for some time, but the real problem is that they put dumb shit in in the first place and then remove it later when everyone complains
plus all the other shit they've tried to pull
Its good that they took away the early revival, still worries me that in a interview sergey said that feature was planned from the beginning, so we could see it return or something similar.
But maybe they've learnt their lesson and are they're letting the community change their original game-plan.
Still got a long way to go to earn back my trust, but this is a start.
Edit: I agree on this also.

Lol I dislike the devs but this has been the only time. The issue with clans was questionable but all you were essentially paying for was for icons above your friends' heads, which, while greedy, doesn't give you as much of an advantage as reviving early to grab the things you lost.
no? you were paying to have MORE clan slots wich even if it looks simple is someting that is very required to have proper clan coordination and management
[QUOTE=latin_geek;38912663]may I be informed on what steps you're taking? I keep getting a Code 8 with the Emulator.[/QUOTE]
Code 8 = Server is full/overloaded
They say don't spam the server, but if you keep trying you can get in.
I saw a post saying they're upgrading their servers next week, maybe it will be better then?
TBH on top of having to pay for more slots, their clan system is pretty shitty
this really isn't the type of game where you should have to invite every single character to the clan, it should be by account
Whats better about an emulator compared to the main game?

[QUOTE=werewolf0020;38913583]no? you were paying to have MORE clan slots wich even if it looks simple is someting that is very required to have proper clan coordination and management[/QUOTE]
It really isn't. An opposing bandit group taking advantage of the clan system isn't going to be any more well-coordinated than a group that isn't. At the end of the day all you pay for is a larger list of names and less friendly fire incidents.
[editline]20th December 2012[/editline]
Is it greedy? Absolutely. But you don't need to use it to have the best possible group, and if anything it just clogs up your screen with blue friendly indicators. Now quick revives on the other hand..

less hackers, the devs wont ban you for swearing and the only true difference is that its a few updates behind the mai ngame
I still have hope. Yes, the developers have gone on a few (Read: a lot) of blunders, and are acting really immature and unproffesional about it, but this is not the "Definition of a scam", or any plot to steal our money. If it was, there is no way they would still be trying to fix this, they would have just ran. I simply wish the devs will mature over time, and realise all of their idiotic fault.

They're not trying to "run away" just yet because they've been given a second chance to cash grab before THEN running away for good.
Just a bunch of scumbags.

This is a really stupid argument. They havent been given a second chance. They have the lowest score on metacritic ever, everything they lied about and have stolen is being revealed, and almost everyone is saying this is a shit money-grabbing company who makes a scam game to ride on the success on DayZ before they take it and run. Please explain their "Second chance"
Tried to get a refund

I played it once or twice, was an OK game but definitely not what I paid for. Waited until alpha / beta was over. Game still isn't even near what was promised. I can't trust that the developers aren't going to go "welp; go fuck yourselves" and run off with all the money and not finish the game. I'm not even sure the game can support a lot of what they've promised. Filed a dispute with Paypal that automatically went void because it's more than 45 days old, so emailed Paypal. Will call them tomorrow before end of business if they haven't replied.
I need my $$ back so I can buy Station Cash. MORE SMEDBUCKS FOR THE SMEDGOD

Do you live in the UK?
wow they actually made a change after hearing what their community has to say. although i wonder if everyone holds them so low that would be their only choice to avoid more negative backlash. at least they're aware
[QUOTE=McNab;38915088]Do you live in the UK?[/QUOTE]
Yep!
So I tried the emulated version.
The most frustrating experience was trying to get on the server itself. Actually playing the game wasn't quite as [I]bad[/I] as I was expecting. Although trying to melee zombies with anything seems to take forever.
I did manage to find a gun in a supermarket, and that made it a lot more enjoyable. Still got killed by bandits though, and then trying to reconnect is a nightmare.
This game has a lot of problems, it's just not as bad as I was expecting.
the emulator has atm server issues becouse it has heavy traffic and they only have about 3-4 servers to handle it all, i except that once they have more servers stuff should be smootheer

To kill zombies you have to aim a bit over the head, the hitboxes are kinda bad for melee weapons (This is not needed for firearms)
The PVP is getting pretty annoying in this game.
My friend and I are just going to shoot on sight from now on, even if the guy is unarmed, we tried to be nice to unarmed guys, but most seem to have a buddy with them that has a gun.
Saw two unarmed guys in the ski resort and told them to get out of the building unless they wanted to be shot. Turns out they were just bait and they had another guy with them that killed both of us.
We didn't shoot, we just told them to leave, yet they still killed us. I fucking hate people sometimes.

You hate people who shoot for no reason so the only option is to shoot for no reason? That kind of behavior is what creates a world without any human interaction that isn't combat.

We TRIED to be nice, we haven't shot a single person yet but we've been killed 4 times by armed pricks. First time it was three guys in body armor with m16's, second time it was two guys with pistols, third time was at the ski resort where the guy offed us by using his friends as bait, and the fourth time was with a sniper rifle at the military base. This is in LOW population servers too, 13~ max. If we see a guy in the distance we drop and try to avoid him, but if we get into a confrontation we are shooting now.
You can't play the nice guy in games like this.
If you had read what I posted right above your post, people can't be trusted. Three of the four times we were shot to death we didn't even have anything on us besides a flashlight and some food. People are just complete cunts in games like this, much like how they would be in real life.
Zombie appoc happens in real life I'm trusting no one, read the walking dead comics, or just play DayZ or The war Z, people are assholes.
I understand it's gay as fuck to be killed by some asshole after you've found some gear, I do, DayZ I was the same way, I didn't shoot unless shot at, only killed one human in DayZ and thats after he said "friendly" then shot me with a fucking crossbow.

The game is pretty much a glorified griefing simulator, what did you expect
So for the emulator, do I have to do what DeanWinchester said and block the WarInc IP or something or can I just start it up and play without worries?
[QUOTE=twoski;38916154]The game is pretty much a glorified griefing simulator, what did you expect[/QUOTE]
Except people rarely kill just for the pleasure of ruining someone else's day. It's all about the loot. For all we know the two guys Nate saw were starving.

In that case they HAVE to give you a refund.
I don't know the name of the exact law (as I don't live there) but there are consumer protection laws in place that they must follow.
If you ask for a refund and quote that law and they STILL don't give it to you, you can take it up with the police.
I think it might be this one: [url]http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1979/54[/url]
