Infestation: Survivor Stories. (Formerly The WarZ) Really as bad as they say?

At the height of WarZ.
There were 400K active players, so its not just me.

The problem with the 19 others is that they have not played the game.
So their opinions are irrelevant ;)

Its also one of the best sellers on Steam :)

So you are saying that someone has to own something to have an opinion? fucking wow. It took 10 minutes of research for me to see that the WarZ was a shitty re-badge of another shitty game. A re-badge that still doesn't have half what was promised on launch.

SHitty graphics, shitty gameplay, shitty comabt, I can see there is lots to like about the game:rolleyes: Oh wait, I forgot, you can gank people to your hearts content and that makes the game awesome!
 
Different strokes for different folks. I think the game sucks especially for pvp. If you like ganking people be prepared to have friends in the game already.

For me the games graphics, bugs, gameplay, and mechanics all suck so I stopped playing months ago. I was also banned from their forums for posting a video of areas that were glitched and allowed you to exploit after being asked to by one of the devs. Got banned for posting exploits even though the request was literally 3 posts above mine.

Lots of other games with better pvp and gameplay so I moved on. I can see why some enjoy it but honestly I won't ever be supporting this group of devs again.
 
Ok, I had my friend who has more experience with Day Z vs. War Z give me his thoughts.

-Graphics: A nod to War Z.
There is not a huge difference here, but it is a noticeable one. WarZ feel more vibrant, and the animations (while not great) are less blocky than in DayZ.

-Loot spawning: Winner War Z
Day Z only spawns zombies/loot when a player is in the area, which can easily be used as a type of radar to tell if other players are around. In War Z the entire world spawns regardless of if anyone is near it or not.
DayZ also spawns the best loot at random helicopter crash sites. These spawn on server start up and the loot, once taken, does not respawn so it is first come first served. This leads to a situation where the people in control of the server get the best loot and everyone else has much less chance of getting it.
WarZ is not without loot spawn issues however. The Devs are constantly changing what spawns where and how often. I see this as an attempt to find the right balance, but many people get very upset over it because they would rather have the loot spawns be static and known rather than in flux.
WarZ weapon spawns are much more common than in DayZ. Whether this is a good thing or not is completely open to personal opinion.

-Melee combat: Winner War Z
Melee in Day Z is and feels like an afterthought. There is only one melee weapon and it is glitchy and takes up your primary weapon slot, and it is an uncommon item (not rare, but uncommon).
Melee in WarZ is a central component of the game. There are a multitude of weapon choices with varying degrees of effectiveness. This does lead to a situation where there are a few weapons that are simply much better than the others and some of these are not uncommon so many of the weapons are simply moot because of this.

-Gun combat: Winner Day Z
War Z guns are far too inaccurate. Even at short ranges many of the guns will go wide of the target. This has not always been the case, but it is also not a bug. This is a conscious decision the Devs made and have not backed off from yet.
DayZ guns are appropriately accurate, and you can take down other players at a decent range. That being said using a gun in a town will bring down on you every zombie within nearly a mile. This makes using them much less attractive.

-The Inventory managment system: Clear winner WarZ
WarZ has a simple easy to use and understand inventory system.
DayZ has possibly the worst inventory system I have ever encountered. It always makes peoples lists of things they dislike about DayZ. It is so bad it is offensive.

-Hacking: Clear winner War Z
Yes War Z has a lot of hackers, people run ESP, Wallhack, No Spread, and occasionally teleport hacks.
DayZ..... I struggle to think of a single example where the hacking has been worse than it was in DayZ. I have personally seen people spawning battleships on top of other people, or teleporting everyone on a server into the air to fall to their deaths, or turning into invincible dogs and leading packs of zombies around the map to over run people, or setting entire cities on fire. This is not mentioning the horror stories of hacks that I have read about but not personally seen.

-Number of bugs: War Z gets the nod
7 out of 10 of all of my deaths in Day Z for me were due to bugs like: laying down next to a tree and breaking my leg, or logging in next to a tree and finding myself on top of it and falling to my death, or bumping into a friend on accident and we both instant die, or being hit by a zombie who is on the other side of a brick wall from me, or even just walking along perfectly flat and featureless ground and breaking my leg and bleeding to death.
WarZ is certainly not free of bugs, but they are not as bad or as prominent as in DayZ.

-Map: DayZ gets the nod
The Day Z map is much larger than the War Z map is. This is increased... well infinitely when you consider that Day z map has no real edge. When you get to the end of the map you go into a no-mans-land that has no end and stretches for as long as you feel like running even though there is nothing there. While the larger map of Day Z is nice, the no mans land is just a giant exploit where people hide all of the vehicles so no one else can get them.
The towns and villages feel more real in DayZ. The downside is that the majority of space in the DayZ map is empty and wasted.
WarZ towns feel small and cramped in comparison, but has less wasted space.

-Vehicles:
Day Z has vehicles, War Z does not.
This takes away from the feel of the game to me, and vehicles are a negative to me. Many people love them and it is a plus to them.

-Marketplace:
WarZ has a in game marketplace that allows you to purchase items with either GC (currency only avaliable by spending real money) or Cash (in game currency that drop from killing zombies).
To me this is a detracting feature of the game since it takes you out of the "survival" aspect that is one of the major draws to the genre for me.
 
LOL, this is more entertaining than PC vs Console. Any who, all games have their pros & cons. In the end is player preference imo. I can honestly give two-sh1tz of what other players/people think of any game. That's my 2¢.

Let the entertaining thoughts of this thread topic continue :D

infringers on what? the movie or the third party mod that had no copyright claim?

Popular mod is called day z so this completely unrelated game with the exact same ideas calls itself war z. Scumbags at their finest. The whole world war Z was just an unhappy coincidence for the scumbags. They meant to use the war z to rip off popularity from day z. Its quite obvious.

PKers love the game, casuals don't.

Without casuals it wont last. When all you have is PK the game swirls the drain quick as fuck...

Personally i never got the hype for day Z. Bought arma and tried to like it but its frankly a bug riddled piece of shit. The war Z is another bug riddled piece of shit trying to make money off the popularity of the mod...
 
I'll sell you my legendary account! Actually, I'll pay you to take it off my hands. :D

I quit playing due to hackers. I started playing after they added PB, then stopped cause you can run for an hour and still be in the middle of nowhere. Might as well read a book while I play.

Zombie respawn rate was/is ridiculous. You can't totally clear a town without a zombie spawning with its hand in your pocket.

Wen you die, the despawn time of dropped items is waaaaay to short. I actually paid the 50GC or whatever it was ,30GC, to quick spawn and within 5 minutes my gear was gone. i was on a private server and only player.I lost a few rare items due to that crap..... Oh I died because a zombie spawned with its hand in my pocket.......:D

Legendary account means I paid to much for an in-game badge,GC, and 6 months of a stronghold server which I don't even know if they have released them yet.

I haven't played since the name change, I have thought about loading it up for shits and giggles though.

I put faith in the game and got back a spoonful of shit, that is all.

Except in this case it isn't. You've got a developer who consistently misleads, lies, insults, and ignores its player base, and yet there are people who are practically tripping over themselves to give them money and become boosters for their game. Talk about encouraging bad behavior. I see complaints on this forum all of the time about something so-and-so says from a dev/pub, but why should they act any different when they don't get punished for doing so? Gamers get exactly what they deserve.
 
Who gives a shit what the devs do or say?
Ohh no they called some one a fag!
Ohh no they lied!
Ohh no they didnt do what I wanted them to do?

How do you guys even play any other games?

Alot of people quit because they sucked at the game and could not take the pressure.
So now they spend their days talking bad about a game they could not handle!

Warz is not for the weak thats for sure!

I have my original account since it was in alpha!
I have never spent any money in game either because
HP gave us all alpha tester something like $20.00 in
GC for their mess ups.
I have not been magically banned!
Everyone that was banned said the same thing
jail mates say "I didnt do it"

People quit the game in droves because it was virtually unplayable as was intended. You clearly haven't been reading any of the sources provided. The game is an embarassment.

He is either trolling or one of the dev's. Either way, don't feed the troll or the bad dev. Just move along, nothing new to see here...

Its still alpha, its always been alpha. From the looks of it, what WarZ passes as a game, most games wouldnt even consider an alpha. Infestation is shit, WarZ is shit,

You can tell youself whatever you want. I dont think anyone cares about hackers being banned. Its the devs banning people for criticizing them on their forums.
I made a thread criticizing them for the non-functional release and had my forum and ingame banned. I am one of many.

In the end, Sergey Titov calling its members faggots sums up the entire situation. Its a horrible dev making a horrible game and shitting all over everyone in the process.

oh shit, i feed the troll
 
What frustrates me more than anything about this is that the steam page is still lying. Its still looks and plays nothing like what they advertise. If that wasn't the case I wouldn't be so against current players defending it though even you guys defending it are literally saying you enjoy it because you can be assholes to anyone who does accidentally buy it thinking they're buying a game with any depth.

Omg you are such a casual those are the hardcores get on their level noob. /sarcasm
 
Just admit it!
You all got owned in the game that plays just fine. (you can blame the game if it makes you feel better!)Probably got owned till you had no weapons left and it was frustrating.
Then you made all these excuses to give bad fame to a game you obviously cant handle!

Getting your forum account banned! LMFAO
You know you can just create a new one right?
The forum has a Hacker + Bugs section you can talk about it all you want!

Game is in beta!
There are no serious bugs left, just minor things.

Ohh no sergey called some one a fag - 0 shits given here!

The best way to discredit some one that makes sense is to call him a Troll!
Oldest trick in the book, but nice try :)
 
At this point guys your just beating your heads against a brick wall. don't feed the troll, let this thread die
 
I have discredited all the BS comments about the game.

There is no a single bad comment made here that carries any weight!

Its hard to try and bash a game that you have never played...lol
 
You haven't discredited mine. You also haven't provided any sources for any of your facts or claims either while asking others to source theirs. You continue to show your mentality by just trying to troll people along. If you truly liked the game, you would be out playing it and not trying to bait people into arguments about it. You are not going to change anyone's mind here so I don't understand your goal.

Look at their website. The first screenshot you will see is the player driving a car. They are full of shit. They have no talent at all. The people who are defending it are the ones that have to justify being burned.

Just remember, logical arguments and valid criticism just means you're automatically a DayZ fanboy, which invalidates said arguments and criticisms.

I'm gonna laugh when they shut down the game without telling you. You won't say a word, of course.
 
I would have to say I enjoy running around and killing. I used to have pages of guns, ammunition, meds, and packs, then kept losing them to hackers. BOOM update made almost everything scarce except chips and soda!

Private servers are fun. Hunting parties are fun. Just be ready for a lot of running!
 
Huge Patch

New Graphics
New Towns - Upgraded
New Zombies and how they act.
1. The normal Zombie - run straight for you
2. The Flanker - runs to flank you
3. The Jumper - Jumps at you and will try and flank you as well.

The challenge of farming has just increased a bunch.
Love this game!
 
ooo, that should make PvP a bit more interesting now. zombies were always a non-issue because how they react is always the same.

I dusted off the game last week and did some PvP. Was a lot better, only ran into 2 obvious hackers and got 25+ kills in my group in 2 nights.

Edit
They also changed loot drops, I was really just enjoying running around picking stuff up on our private server.
 
There are hardly any hackers/cheaters left in the game.

I just keep running into bambies and people that are pretty bad at the game.
The PVP is great now and the zombies should not be disregard
anymore.

Also there are tons of granades spawns in Boulder City.
I want to chuck a few into those annoying strong holds people do.
Some one in my clan killed a guy who was carrying 10 Granades.

Another great change was that you can now carry double the amount
of weight. So Military Rucks hold 60 KG..lol

Haha, ya, I went through all the dev diaries for the past month, seems like they are moving the right direction. And I had no idea that they made a Colorado v2 map. I am gonna have to hop on my private server tonight and check out looting on it.

I also saw from the forums, they finally made armor worthwhile to wear. A very good change IMO. Armor used to be pretty much pointless to wear unless you had hardened and wanted to take a sniper shot or pointblank shotgun blast.
 
lolololol

best review ever! I loved the dude crouching and turning his back on zombies hitting him, then bitching about dying.

That video was so painful to watch.

Nothing like a grown man being a little bitch because his game got a bad review.

The fucking game deserves all the negative press it gets. I dont care how much "better" it is now its STILL not in a state anyone sane would call finished and ready yet the few players it has still defend it to death.

Nothing like a grown man being a little bitch because a game is named similarly to his game in the same genre.
 
We are not defending, there is no defense needed the game is legit.

The point of that video is simple;

Dont review a game that you have not played, because you end up making a fool of your self.

Summit is a grown man that makes his living playing video games.
Was making 8,000 a month on donations playing WarZ.
He also won the DayZ hunger games.
So he knows what hes talking about.
 
So I hear that they have "Kill the Developer" events, but that people have gotten banned for killing the butthurt developers before? LOL.
