So if you make a new character you can run to the one that's dead, and salvage the bat. what every single death in this game past the first day you play it comes from other players who will 99% of the time run over and loot everything you have. the only chance you have to see that bat again is if you manage to spawn incredibly close and catch your murderer (not likely, bandits will server hop away) or that you have a friend who then kills your murderer and safeguards your stuff while you come back. otherwise, it's essentially wasted money. none of this has anything to do with the essential wrongness of it, these are just realistic adaptive strategies for people who would apparently be interested in paying for these items. my assumption is that this "quick revive" absurdity (where you pay 50 GC, or the in-game real money equiv to revive your character early and avoid the new, awful 4 hour respawn) is meant to jumpstart a sluggish in-game real money economy that even the dumbest zombie game lover won't buy into. | ||

Yeah sorry, I should have specified that was assuming no one loots the corpse before you get to it. | ||

I've never seen the like. | ||

What do you mean whats up with the stamina system? Real people cannot run for like hours upon hours like you can in DayZ. At least WarZ has a stamina system to where you cannot run forever. It is an easy fix if they wish to increase the stamina. | ||

Sergey Titov. WarZ boards have a thread on this. The apologists are...humorous. http://forums.thewarz.com/showthread.php?79382-WARZ-MADE-IGN-AND-GAMESPY-FRONT-PAGE-not-good | ||

Overall i've played the game awhile and I have a lot of fun with it and I think it has a lot of potential to be really good. All of that being said, I feel that Sergey is a complete total idiot. The way he handled that interview was pathetic, some of the decisions he has made is pathetic and blatantly lying on the steam page is stupid. I really like the game and I want it to do well but I am starting to feel that the people in charge might actually be complete idiots. | ||

In Day Z you can only "sprint" for a limited time, Id say 30 seconds or so, then you slow to a "jog". And jogging, irl, can be done for hours at a time. | ||

If you think that's bad, wait until you hear about their anti-cheat system. Basically the way they flag hackers is, I shit you not, by placing weapons in certain out of reach areas. These weapons are flagged as being for hackers, since the idea is you'd need no clip to pick them up. So if you have it in your inventory, it bans you after a certain amount of time. Now the weapons aren't out of the ordinary and theres no way to tell if its flagged or not. The problem occurs, in that everyone can reach the no clip areas because the game is so damn glitchy. So you play, accidentally get to a spot your not supposed to pick, pick up a weapon, and then get banned. Or someone else got it, they got banned, and then you picked up the weapon that banned them and then you get banned. Its basically the only anti-cheat worse than punkbuster I think I've ever seen. | ||

On the bright side maybe we'll end up finding out how Valve handles their store page content, I've always been curious about how that's done myself | ||

That isn't their anti-cheat system that is suppose to fix hackers. Also you can not get banned if you pick one of these weapons up from someone who picked it up. The way it works is if someone picks it up they get flagged and manually watched by a dev/admin than they get banned if found to be hacking. It is a good idea and it worked great, not sure why you would bash this? You are basically making things up saying you get banned for having it even if you don't hack, the devs confirmed this multiple times. | ||
