Author Topic: The War Z Megathread - 5 days left for discount!  (Read 27237 times)

differences: it's actually going to be made instead of being a mod
you can rebuild civilization so instead of deathmatching with zombies you can rebuild civilization(how much do you want to bet the developers lied about this?)

Dayz in a Nutshell.
1st you spawn on a beach with a five second text where you are.
2nd everywhere structure is surrounded or has atleast zombie
3rd you start off with no weapons
4th if a zombie sees you you will end up getting chased by a zombie that runs faster than you and never gets tired
5th its impossible to find a weapon with being spotted by a zombie
6th once you have a weapon and your friends assembled you can roam the map encountering villages with structures that you can't enter
7th there is no incentive to play, the game just boils down into a deathmatch with zombies
8th you eventually die and spawn on the coast

So what makes WarZ any different? Otherwise I'm going to assume its something that is fun a day then gets boring.
You're terrible at sneaking around.

Zombies in DayZ are handicapped, you crouch and they wont see you.

1. You start in Safe Zones where you are literally safe from PVP  and zombies

2. Since zombies are people too they of course only spawn near buildings so in both games they will spawn near them.

3. You start with a flashlight that can be used as a melee weapon. Weapons , especially firearms and their ammo , are rare so you wont be able to DM all the time and really have to search for them.

4. If zombies wouldn't run at you they are not dangerous at all. Therefor you must sneak around them. I'm pretty sure you will be able to outrun them though.

5. You must sneak around zombies as they can see / hear / smell you. The sneak mechanics in WarZ will most likely be far better than the ones in DayZ.

6. Unlike DayZ WarZ actually has it's own map which is 400 km² large ( a few houndred more than Chernarus) with lot's of enterable buildings. In the future even more maps will be added to the game.

7. WarZ has a much bigger survival and exploration aspect. In DayZ you can find assault rifles in Firehouses while in WarZ you really really have to search for guns and ammo which are accordingly powerful. There's lots of stuff to explore and you can even do / make player based quests. Means players can make quests for other players which adds more teamwork.
You can also make your own character which can learn skills that minorly improve survival ( like you can improve stamina a bit so you can run faster or carry more weight).

8. In WarZ you can choose between "Hardcore" and normal mode. If you die in normal mode your character only get's knocked out and becomes unplayable for real life 24 hours ( this will probally be changed ) as a punishment for death. After that period of time you will respawn where you have been killed. Of course you loose all the gear you had when you were killed. You do however keep all the skills and stuff that you have earned. Dieing in hardcore mode means that your character is dead forever. The crosshair and your ammo count of your weapon disappears in hardcore aswell.
However you get increased EXP gain and rare spawns when playing in Hardcore.
You may make up to 5 different characters so you don't have to wait 24 hours ( if you play normal mode) for your character to respawn.


Yo if anyone bought this and wants to give me a 2 day access pass so I can try it out that would be great.
<3

How does this look like a polished version of dayZ ?
Did DayZ invent post apocalyptic survival or what ?

All these features seen in the OP have nothing to do with DayZ at all. I heavily doubt Rocket would ever manage to do such drastic changes anyways.

"Boohoo they have character models that also wear caps and have backpacks / rotten zombies / guns they must be copied from dayZ"- Seriously ? I might aswell just compare Battlefield with Call of Duty because they both feature the same weapons / organisations / vehicles. I can already hear the DayZ community complaining about WarZ because it features crossbows.

DayZ is a broken and crappy zombie survival mod which you could rather call "Deathmatch with zombies" as PVP makes up most of the game. It's very overhyped even though it has a poor quality. The ideas of it were good but DayZ is just stuff in what it's trying to be. Oh and the community is a bag of douchebags aswell. One may like it but this is how I feel about DayZ.

For me War Z is what I expected from DayZ - a fun zombie survival game with lots of exploring and what not. The features and ideas are great , the community is decent and the game looks nice.
Ironically War Z will even run on lap tops with integrated graphic cards.

No War Z isn't a DayZ clone. The name was probally chosen so it reminds you of DayZ. Or maybe because both games are based on a book called "World war Z".


this is complete bullstuff, world war z is a book about various survivors during the epidemic, the longest stories are of a marine fighting a war and a military doctor at ground zero. This game is a loving day z clone, it's the same god damn game with shinier models, don't even kid yourself into thinking it won't end up a douche ridden stuffsack of pvpers like day z is now.

Get out. Your no better then those Minecraft friends calling Blockland a Minecraft clone. Also, NO, it won't turn into a PvP handicapped game Like DayZ. DayZ, its so loving easy to find anything, while in the War Z it'll actually take time to find guns and ammo and anything. Please get your facts straight before posting utter bullstuff like this.

Lol I could never run this in a million years.

That's what I thought, but surprisingly its not all that demanding. Just have a 3.0 shader GPU, at least 2GB of RAM, and a 2 core CPU and you can run it medium-high.

K??O-?Y??-???X-D???

have fun

I don't think you understand.
This isn't a low-end laptop I have, this is a low-low-low-end laptop.

It can't run it.
