Destroy it? i think they have very done a good job of it themselves, just take 10 minutes to look at their fb and the amount of rage on it. I wont be able to destroy it i am just stating whats happened, what i claimed, has all but come true. Oh also i have played the game, i got a free key, someone i knew who actually purchased the game was actually sent 10 keys. Now i will not invest in a company with such bad business practices, but i thought to actually comments on the game itself rather than just the company i would have to play it, and play it i did. All i can say is that it is piss poor. It runs like a pile of turd even on a powerful machine ( 2700k@5ghz 16gb ram & a gtx 670 @ 1330 mhz core boost) The character animations are even worse than in dayz (and thats saying something), characters look like igor when they run, the animations are jerky and generally terrible. The sounds are laughable, wrong noises everywhere walking on difference serfaces makes the most random of noises, guns sound awful ( some sound ok) etc. No bullet drop, feels like you are playing cod when you get in a gun fight. The glowing loot on the ground makes a mockery of the idea of it being a survival game. Feels like it caters towards 10 year olds. Oh and did i mention the hackers and the safezone campers. hackers, hackers everywhere out of 10 servers 7 had hackers on them. I mean dayz got irritating, but nothing on this level. But that is personal opinion ( well apart from the hackers) i didnt like it, but hell i can get onboard with a game even if there are things i dont like about it. But the game itself is not what i have a problem with its the "company" that is making it.
At all of the "broken promises" 400 square Kilometer map- I think they worded it as "up to 400 square kilometers" which will be their next map, named California, I think. A little bit of a dick move, HOWEVER, they said this before pre-orders were available so people knew what they were getting into.
No people did not know what they were getting into, they wouldnt be raging as much as they are now if it was clear from the start what the actual game timeline was, rather than somthing sergey pulled out of his ass. They are making it as they go along with little or no roadmap, hence the slew of missed promises.
No zombie hordes- they never said they were going to add this, it was just something he community wanted and the devs said they would think about it. they continually posted pictures of spawling cities with zombie hordes, ok maybe not an outright promise, but definetly made people believe that the screenshots of them would be indicative of what was going to be in the game
No vehicles- In one of the last Q&As they mentioned that they are going to be implementing vehicles soon.
How soon? They mentioned it frequently in the build up as something that would be added very swiftly.
Skill trees- they will be in game before foundation release.
ok good good, when is this "foundation release" oh and just an fyi he stole the name of "foundation" release of dayz. Oh
No friends list- They just put in clans, friends list is next.
Really they intend to put it in. They have indended to put in a lot of things, again...when? Indeed they did add clans, and it costs you money to expand your clan, yet another feature you have to pay for.....I wouldn't be surprised if they charge you to have more than 5 friends. Well at least they delivered on one promise.
No stem cells- in a recent interview they said they are working on this and it will be put in soon. again we are working on this....these were all features touted to be IN the game already before they released the alpha, only for people to be told " we are working on it.....really we are"
No NPCs- they specifically said that there will be no NPCs.
wrong, they frequently, even sergey himself, talked about adding in NPCs in to defend safezones and shoot at bandits. You need to read the forums more often.
No world interaction- I have no idea what you mean by this. If you mean like open and close doors, they never said they would add that.
They flamed dayz for having nearly no enter-able buildings and said that the war z would improve on it in every way. The world feels unreal, boulder city only had ONE enter-able building to start with ONE and the rest of the map is just as bad. This was very much about the inability to interact with anything in the world, they made it seem on release the world would be this amazing immersive place, it isnt
No bandit system- I haven't heard anything on this. Right now you can be marked as a bandit/hero but there are no benefits/consequences so we will see what happens with this one. Again you need to read the froums, he said they were going to implement a bandit system whereby you could hunt down bandits for a bounty etc ( i think it was in the same post about the NPS's who shoot at bandits)
No anti-cheat- the anti cheat is in game and working. BWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.....wait BWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, oh wow that just shows how delusional you really are, or that you havent played the game in the last month. It is NOT working, Sergey touted it as being 98% effective or something. Which is a load of rubbish the only time i saw a ban was when a admin did it manually. Again just look on the forums or the facebook page almost every other comment on the "patch notes" are "and what about the hackers" This super amazing anti hack shield is an outright lie, or its simply terrible and doesn't work. Also temp bans before a perma ban for an offence like an aimbot? well done Sergey....
No strong hold servers- they are going to be implemented before release. Really a date on that? As i was aware stronghold server were meant to be implemented in beta which was oh....wait meant to be what was it over a month and a half ago
You keep saying "don't pull that 'it's only alpha' excuse" but IT IS ONLY ALPHA! How can that not be used as an excuse for a game not being finished. They were PLANNING on going into beta last month, buy obviously they weren't ready so they left it in alpha until the game is ready! Your excuse for the game being bad is that it isn't finished, well the reason for that is becauseTHE GAME ISN'T FINISHED!
What you seem incapable of grasping with your pea sized brain is this. A company that touted having been working on the game ( pre production onwards) for over a year and a half also truly believed and SAID that their alpha would only last 2 weeks. Anyone and i mean ANYONE with a shred of intelligence could have realised that this was a load of BS. Ofc it isnt and wasnt ready. I said it wouldnt be from before they even released the alpha.
You are the ones showing signs of "fanboyism," but for another game. The mods don't close threads because someone says something negative. They close thread because they are just blind hating that only starts flame wars (like your comments). You obviously havent actively read the forums, it shows. Also a fanboy? Of what dayz? i like the game, but i wouldn't say its perfect. i can point out a slew of crap features about it if you want me to. There are annoying graphical bugs which can ruin the game when they pop up, when you crash a heli it looks like the entire landscape is on fire, the animations while running are poor, the axe animation sucks, there are hackers ( although you can just play on a private hive instead which generally = less hackers) the inventory system is TERRIBLE and counter intuitive, the graphics on the chars are terrible and are not rendered properly, there is a bug whereby the heli leaks fuel unless all the windows are repaired, you can break a leg while dropping off a 2 foot ledge and bleed out, i can carry on if you want...? The difference is that i happily accept the flaws of the game and i like the person who is producing it as he has been honest and upfront about the game. The warz team have not been. ( also there is a level of intensity that the war z just doe not posses, but that is my personal opinion. I will not berate people for like a game that i do not. But i will berrate idiots who see fit to defend a company as corrupt as hammerpoint. THAT is where you are getting mixed up
TLDR; Stop hating on this game blindly, you keep calling us fanboys for defending it, but you get mad when we call you a fanboy for bashing a game you have never played. Gets your facts straight, or leave this thread. There are problems with the game, but than again, it's a $20 non-AAA game. So expecting this game to be perfect in every possible way is kinda ridiculous. However I've had more fun playing this game than I have some of those $50-$60 AAA titles.
