The War Z - This IS NOT A GAME, IT'S A SCAM - Games

People love to camp on the outer perimeter of towns, so if anyone tries this game, I strongly suggest to always do a 360 sweep around the outer section of every settlement. Time consuming, and boring? Yes. But they will seriously camp there longer than you could ever imagine. I watched a guy once for nearly 10 minutes(estimating from the characters over-all play time since I don't ever live long, but am very familiar with how things, and people work in this game by now) doing nothing but overlooking a town before he turned around and shot me. I got my first player kill in this game today(up until now I've avoided all confrontation. You never know if they're in an organized group.) Spawned and was walking down a steep mountain to a cliff. I didn't notice the guy laying at the edge, overlooking a settlement through his binoculars. He was heavily armed, helmet, flak jacket, M16's and the whole works. I had just spawned with a new character, and as soon as I noticed him I hit the deck. I watched him for about 2 minutes before deciding to pull something drastic. I crawled all the way up to him until the last two, or three remaining feet or so before I got up and bum-rushed him. Pulling out my flashlight, running around his proned character like a spastic retard, whacking him repeatedly until he finally died. Picked up all his loot(2 M16's, meds, some ammo, and a handgun and the rest mentioned earlier) and scrammed to the nearest bush. I hid there for about 2 minutes before all of a sudden 4 players come out of the wood works, staying in a clean-sweep like formation where he died, patrolling over the cliff. I tried to disconnect ASAP because I knew I wouldn't have a chance. Alas, my bald head was sticking out of the bush, they found me, and I was shot dead with 2 seconds remaining to disconnect. Too bad nothing will ever cover, or avenge the shame of this guy getting whacked to death with a flashlight :v:

is the 4 hour respawn/paying to respawn still in the game?

[QUOTE=wlitsots;38950550]is the 4 hour respawn/paying to respawn still in the game?[/QUOTE] They re-reduced it to one hour, but you gotta pay to respawn earlier still afaik.

[QUOTE=zeldar;38946997]RussianKaliber I believe.[/QUOTE] He is one of the better devs. One of the devs who said that the game should have remained in development for at least another 6-8 months. Funnily enough, despite it not being his fault, he apologized about a day after the events on steam.

[QUOTE=legolover122;38950570]They re-reduced it to one hour, but you gotta pay to respawn earlier still afaik.[/QUOTE] No, they took away the pay to spawn early feature, it's back to what it was, 1 hour waiting time, no early respawns, paid or not.

the 50gc revival was hilarious. i'd just get killed by some idiot, revive, arm myself from global, then respawn on the outskirts of the city i died in and kill whoever killed me. it really promoted revenge killing and was such a bad decision i almost stopped playing

I tell them I'll be back for their heads, go to another heavily armed character I had nearby, hoping they would head in my direction, get to Mountaincrest and they are about to leave, shot the guy with the gun first, they all proned, went downhill and shot 2 more, the other 2 get up and start running, get one of them instantly, the other hides behind the tree I was hiding in (so it's me on one side, him on the other), I take out my hammer and just run up to him and smash his head in. 5 guys killed, got all their loot and still had time to say "shouldn't have killed me fuckers" while they complained in spanish :v:

This game pisses me off so fucking much that it's crazy. There's absolutely no goddamned reason to not kill someone, and the fucking second you spawn in you get shot at. Take this last playthrough as a shining example of this games awesome community: Spawn, start getting chased by a zombie the moment I start moving. Walk into the norad base and find a hammer, kill the zombie. Then I see someone off in the distance, who immediately starts shooting me.

This game is virtually unplayable for longer than an hour at best, as there is no repercussions for killing every player you see on sight, and the developers give about as much shit as EA about their communities feelings.

Yep, if you don't already have a gun then you're kind of fucked. I went to the airport and started searching the empty cars when suddenly a bullet hit the top of a car I was searching, so I crouched down and saw someone walking towards me with a gun. Once he reached me we started going in circles around the car, me doing so to avoid his bullets until finally he jumped on top of the car and pulled out a hammer. I whipped out my knife and slashed him twice until he started bleeding and running away, but I caught up to him and finished him off. I was happy to see that he dropped a gun, my very first weapon, when suddenly someone started shooting at me from afar and I died.

I'm one of the people who likes to support a large group of people.. too bad with the limited (and my inactive clan leader) clan system playing with friends is a pain in the ass. And now with all this bad press I fear none of my friends ever wants to play this game with me again!

Since i made a new character i spawned with the flashlight, hammer , granola bar etc.. . I saw some guy looting a car with only a hammer. I tried to talk with him but he just looked at me and started chasing me for a god damn hour.. [B][I] A GODDAMN HOUR [/B][/I] We ran all the way down from The crystal lake resort to fucking oak mountain rest stop. It was so boring since i couldnt do shit about it because he kept chasing me.. After we reached the oak mountain rest stop i found an Mossberg in one of the cars. I shot that fucker right in his goddamn face... GOD that felt good. He wrote ,,fuck you'' and left...

that's what always confuses me, the sheer amount of effort people will go to just to kill someone. that exact situation has happened to me multiple times, although not for as long as an hour, and now i've learned to just either sit and die because it isn't worth the time spent being chased or just turn around and shoot them. there's no goddamn hope for social interaction or teamwork in this game. we need more reasons to be around other people and NOT shoot them, dayz had it pretty good with the blood bag insofar as needing a friend or some kind soul to patch you up

-snip- nevermind

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38964426]I can't help it but your post reads like something a PR guy would write.[/QUOTE] IS that good or bad? ._.

Well, I don't help hackers, so it's bad :v: Honestly, this game would benefit from a more elaborate reputation system, if you see someone on screen you should be able to see their name and maybe a color representing their reputation, with green being a guy who has seen lots of people and not attacked/killed them and red being a guy that has tried to kill (or actually killed) anyone he sees, with yellow being a middle-ground. They could code it so that the game detects who shot first at who and what loot did each person have, etc to see if you just kill people for fun, for their loot or in self defense.

Personally I don't mind if no one helps, though it would have been appreciated. And Deanwinchester, my reply goes to you really. I personally purchased hacks for the WarZ (level 1) so I could avoid hackers. So many hackers in the game that they're getting unbanned for being banned by the trap items, and then given 700GC because HP thought they were innocent. I already have the models, the textures, I am just curious as to why the textures are not appearing on the models.

Just because I wish to see the models with textures does not mean it's obvious because I am a hacker. More script kiddy to be honest. I never made the hacks nor distributed them, as such I am a consumer/script kiddy.

holy shit. so i was running through campos on a throwaway character to see how long it took to get shot, i was at the northern part where that parking lot is rounding a corner and this fucking [I]horde[/I] of zombies was waiting for me, what looked like 30 zombies at once, and they just exploded and started darting after me.. does this usually happen? did they add more zombies to cities or something?

I actually found a new guy around the construction site south west of the ranger station. Started freaking out because I hear footsteps and I didn't have a gun, found the guy and started following him and he led me right to a bat that I made a mad dash for. He saw me and put his flashlight on me and I told him to turn that shit off, he did, and he actually told me there was some more food items up top on the construction building. Left and told him to trust no one and to stop being so nice in this game, it will only get him shot. Hearing footsteps that aren't mine make me go into panic mode real fast.

I went to Rocky Ford today, some guy with a kruger somehow ran pass me. Before reaching town, he turned around to me, and unloaded everything and missed. Had to kill him before he got another weapon. Minute later, found an M4 Semi at the Diner. Then found 3 body armors in a hummer near the garage. As I was leaving, some guy enters town near post office. Shoots a .22 rifle at me so I dart into the office. He comes in and hops over the counter right as I pop out and take him down. I try to leave again. Another guy comes to town with an M16. I run back toward the diner, and he hides in the alley near Post Office. I pop the corner and take him down. As I walk to his body, another guy opens fire with a kruger at me. I run to the back lot of the office. He goes around back and passes the fenced area. He heads to the dead man and begins to loot. I shoot him. I then try to leave town once more, and another guy comes at me with a kruger. This time, I shoot him and run to the general store. I see a large backpack on top the the shelves. As I jump off one of the shelves, I land face to face with a newly, but heavily armed, spawned player. I open fire quickly while freaking out. I feel bad for the guy since he just spawned, so I leave his stuff while grabbing the large pack. Head to an open house and disconnect there. Later to get on another server and made it to safety. Rocky Ford, once you enter you almost never leave. Later, in the same town, a gun fight of some sort is going on, I spawned in a house with a hammer. Some how someone spots me and shoots the door I was near. I hide back a bit. Guy walks into the house and then retreats. At that point, I was rushing him and manage to hammer him to death. He explodes into loot, maybe 5 armors and 7 rifles and other items. His buddy, maybe, is near the diner and starts to shoot me. I grab a rifle and shoot at him through a picket fence. He explodes into loot. I can figure out what to take and what to leave. And due to that, I get shot by Santa. 'Santa on Acid', to be exact. What a Festivus.

Unless it's some shitty knife or the like that's basically useless.

Whenever I need a weapon I just sprint into a place full of zombies until I find one, if I don't probability is that someone will start shooting at me and call the zombies in their direction, I've gotten some guys killed that way, then I just sprint there, grab their weapon and take the zombies somewhere else so I can go back and grab the remaining stuff :v:

Players either see you as a threat or an easy kill no as a friendly player. I think starting someone with a melee weapon wouldn't make much difference. But if the PvE servers start up I will hop on them in a heart beat since the PvP servers are a wreck due to the community's mentality.
