i do, and the flying baseball bat men of zylon 5 break my immersion. It's nice when a game can be consistent in its style, this game isn't in its items, which is immersion breaking. imagine if all the items in Deus Ex stood straight up and had loud, orange outlines. it would be quite immersion breaking.

Zombies could actually exist, all it would take is a fungus, virus, or bacteria to evolve in such a way that it can take over and effectively control the human body. If any disease would evolve in that batstuff insane way i would put my money on Ebola, it's already insanely dangerous.

Except also warZ isn't meant for realism whatsoever, except for maybe a somewhat realistic world in a fictional setting

I hate it when people use the argument that zombies aren't real, so games that contain them aren't meant to be realistic. It's supposed to be realistic in the sense that an infection of some sorts did occur, and all other realistic elements in life still apply.

EDIT: Like an alternate reality or something.

suspension of disbelief is an interesting thing. If something can be explained in a reasonable fashion, you can suspend your disbelief to immerse yourself in the story. there is no reasonable reason why all the bats in the game glow and stand on their end. That's not to mention every item glows purple. I would get it if they glowed purple when you looked right at them, to know what you're selecting, but them always glowing looks stupid.

Never said they were real, it's just they are way unrealistic in the way they are portrayed

um thats how it works, they only glow if you look at the item

in the video i saw everything was glowing a gradient purple, and all the bats were balanced on the end of the bat.

No, based off my alpha experience you have to look at an item for it to glow, and I don't get what you mean by "all the bats were balanced on the end of the bat"

from what i saw every bat is balanced on the nub at the end of the handle, that or someone is very patient.

There is a fungus in south america that grows inside the ants brain and takes control of the body, then bursts out of the ants heads and spreads spores around to any nearbye victims.

today i found some guy's camp in a town
got a saiga shotgun and mossenburg 550 (also a shotgun) and some water and shtuff

I shot two bandits yesterday, but another came by while I was going back and forth to grab loot and share it with a companion. He stole the rest of it while I made my second run.

Welp, Jacksaunt gave me his account.
How aggressive are people? Should I just shoot on sight?

Don't shoot on sight. Shoot if they have a weapon and are going towards you. Shooting on sight only results in you encountering the hardcore military clan I'm in, shooting one of our guys and going down in a rain of .50 cal and M4 fire.

the more you post about your clan the more i think it's made up
nearly every recent post of yours in this thread has been related to your dumb clan
