The War Z Megathread - 5 days left for discount!

Woah, geez. I was just saying how almost no one talks about encounters with zombies or hordes or anything; I had no idea they were "horribly broken." You would think that would have been their main focus though since zombie apocalypse is the main setting.

Yes but it's alpha and the developers even said that they expect stuff to be badly broken on day 1, that's why we are here so we can give a community response on what needs to be fixed
Like I said, come back when the game releases and judge whether the game is too much about PvP or not.

I still hope that they will make seperate PvE servers with their own character hive.
The game is supposed to be more Players versus zombies than complete bandit deathmatch. Sure in the future they will add penalties but I still think that organized clans are still going to be a serious pain in the ass in the future.
A lot of players want to play the game without having to fear every single player they see.

They won't, but with stronghold servers you can password them and have your friends join and make bases and whatnot with full PvE

Stronghold servers are heavily limited private servers where you can just go and do random stuff. It's barely the same.

Killed somebody with a baseball bat earlier. They had a hammer.

...Why didn't they attempt to kill me?

because he wasnt a bandit and was a friendly survivor?

Because he wasn't a total loving richard like you. I've been killed by people with hammers and bats at least 20 times. I'm going to bring a handgun to one of the smallish pvp towns and shoot everybody that tries hitting another player with a hammer.

I have an encounter with zombies

I walk into the supermarket and see a player. I kill him, and try to take his shotgun. Suddenly, zombies! I kill them all, but then about 8 come inside. (note that i have no ammo) I quickly escape and stand on a car. After a while, I make a run for the guy I killed's shotgun. I try to jump through the window of the store...

...and get stuck.
Got killed ;-;

Sergey specifically said that if you want to do your little "PvE", you can rent your own gameworld server (not stronghold- gameworld as in the entire full 100% everything) and password it just to play with your friends.

This whole thing sounds like a deathmatch with a little bit of zombies thrown in. All I hear about is people searching for supplies and killing people; barely anything with zombies.

oh, you mean like dayz? "IT WONT BE A DM CUZ THERS LES SUPLIEZ!1!!!" my ass.

[Awdax]

Jesus Christ, you guys are jumping on me like a pack of wild dogs. I never said it wouldn't be a deathmatch with less supplies. All I said is that it "seems like" a deathmatch with zombies on the side, and that I never see anyone talking about their encounters with the infected - everyone is always talking about how they killed someone or something. But then HerpaDerp explained that the zombies are broken.

God damn, you guys sound like a bunch of fan-boys ready to attack anyone for saying anything that could be interpreted as a negative outlook on this game. I never meant to "attack this game because it's in the Alpha stage," I was only commenting on how no one talks about the actual main focus of the game - the zombies.

I killed one person, and I'm the bad guy? What about those people that watch Denver and the safe zones and snipe you in cold blood? They must be good, right?

He had food, I needed food. I did what I had to do. Get the forget over it.

I didn't attack you I just explained why there are not many zombies are there and how you shouldn't judge.
The word "seems like" still sounds like you're comparing it to a zombie deathwatch, but wasn't even close to attacking you

I have yet to be shot in this game.

How have you not been shot?

Nice way to make money.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

I've only made it 10 minutes at a time without anybody beating me to death.
