i won't be getting this game. Blatant ripoff.
Its in Alpha btw if you didn't know so you shouldn't really judge a game based off of just some Alpha gameplay. As of it being a blatant ripoff, it is the same genre as Day Z does that mean that every game of the same genre is a blatant rip off? Just asking because I have played the game a lot and it is nothing like a blatant rip off trying to copy Day Z the gameplay is different, the sounds the lighting the graphics what you can do is different, you can do a lot more things as well such as Strongholds. Oh also there is actual settlements in the game, reputation the ability to level up to get slight bonuses such as sprinting longer(no extra damage things so don't try to say that) different types of zombies including super zombies and actual player interaction with the ability to give other players quests to do for you.
All of this is currently being added in and is going to be in the game before the actual "release" the majority of these things including settlements, reputation, experience and the different types of zombies will be out near the end of the alpha. You are just judging the game quickly off of some Alpha footage without looking into the actual game. It is the same Genre but isn't blatantly copying DayZ and being a rip off, I already got my moneys worth playing it and I am enjoying it A LOT.

Day 4. Patch Notes 10/18/12 Today Reputation is now tracked properly. Safe settlements have been implemented. You can no longer access your global inventory anywhere except these settlements. You can not attack other players in settlements. Fixed invisible players and zombies. Fixed some zombie logic. Fixed a red pixel in HUD. Melee weapon exploit fixed.
No more invisible zombies yay! and to the person saying it is to bright at night - what settings are you playing on and what is your brightness? I can barely see sadly probably my settings.

It isn't at all, also the alpha is always changing a lot and being updated.
lol some of you guys just PARROT the same thing over and over. Durp the game is in alpha, but i'm not going to play it because of how it started, and how it stands currently. It's pretty ridiculous the manner these guys started, and they totally got publicity and sales off of dayz's name.

I hate these kind of ripoff games
What do you mean by that? A game is a game is a game. Know what matters? Fun.
Anyways, for the people who actually care about game play experience and don't want to be hipsters who only support "original ideas" (whatever that is)... just got done with a 4+ hour run which took us over quite a bit of the map searching for loot killing a few players. Had a blast, was crazy intense when we were moving through the city.

Do you know what a rip off is? The game Is the same genre as DayZ, okay what else is the same about it can you explain it? Or are all games of the same genre a rip off? I suppose Guild Wars 2 is a World of Warcraft rip off? Are all shooting games rip offs of other games?
The game didn't take all of DayZ's ideas and basically just make a copy of it if that is what you are trying to say, they took their own direction and made a game that is really fun with it. They came up with their own ideas and implemented them very well into the game and I have really been enjoying it.
It honestly looks like you are just jumping on the hate bandwagon and only looking for reasons to bash it. If you would like to actually discuss the game and try to make a point on what is wrong with it, feel free to PM me so this thread doesn't get cluttered with your bashing non-sense, thanks.
I got so much shit today but lost most of the good stuff.. alice rucksack, sniper, pistol, shotgun, medium backpack, and some other stuff.. only got to save 1 shotgun and 3-4 pistols but no ammo
hardcore mode isn't functional yet, everyone is softcore atm but there are differences and combined servers but there will be hardcore only servers on release or later beta.. anything can change though
Could someone please give me a review of where the game stands as of now (in alpha)? Because we're debating getting it today for 30$ so we can play (if it's worth it) or just getting the cheaper 20$ version and waiting for the 31st.
And yeah, we'd get it for fun so if the basics work: do zombies actually spawn around and try to kill you, can you see other players and kill them, etc.? Think it would be a blast, hope someone can do a short write-up!
Even with the current bugs, i'd say this game is in better shape than DayZ. DayZ has some extra features, but thsi game has some different features DayZ doesn't have either. Zombies work, though a little clunky. Not as clunky as DayZ, but a little diff. U can kill people all day long

From looking at the videos, my very first impression was "Oh, hey, it's DayZ with better graphics and more of an arcade feel." I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who reacted like that. Of course it's a blatant DayZ rip-off. Someone previously already showed that the game was not in development before DayZ (so the WarZ devs lied. Why would they do that?), and they copy practically all the features from DayZ into their game, up to the concept of "reputation". What, are they going to implement dogs next?
As for "it's the same genre": Uh.. how many other Zombie survival MMOs are there? DayZ invented the genre. It's a bit like Dota. Before Dota there were no MOBA games, and all the other games were obvious rip-offs of Dota. Thing is, that's not inherently wrong. DayZ has its own problems at the moment, less and less people play because of hackers and other stupid stuff going on, so I actually welcome the competition of WarZ. It makes everyone work their asses of to be the best game. But please, at least be honest about it and don't go around lying that you totally had the idea years ago like the WarZ devs do. It's a rip-off. And that's perfectly fine.
to people here thinking that warZ was just put together some month before: do you even realize how long it takes to develop such a game up to alpha status? dont expect people to take you serious. and the fact that the EULA was copy&pasted from LoL does in no way support this, because the EULA is always the last thing you do when releasing a game. it furthermore costs much money to get some lawyers to write you a specialized EULA, so most EULAs are just copy&pasted from existing ones.
i love DayZ, thate because i love zombie games. and i can see a big potential in WarZ
the world is big enough for both games, the release of WarZ will not lead to the death of Day-Z. the same way call of duty or battlefield did not lead to the extinction of medal of honour.
games ilke DayZ and WarZ will work even when only some thousand people worldwide will buy and play it, there is no need for ALL people playing the same game. so sheathe your knives, nobody tries to take something from you.
Can people stop pulling the alpha card... The game is going into beta in less than 2 weeks and is without doubt not ready for it. With an alpha this short and this messed up I can't see the beta being much of a pleasant experience. Also did they not state that they wanted full release by the end of the years?
EPT
probably my settings.
I accepted it. Anyone know how long these nights are? Lol.
