I figured out quickly that the problem with a Zombie survival game based on a shooter game is that people want to play a shooter game.
Sneak around, gathering your meager supplies, feel pretty good about yourself, then encounter another player who only claims they're friendly.
Repeat.

I think engie want sneaky play games. But before you get spotted, you press alt+F4 to instant close the game. Here is this comic, she pressed alt+f4 to close herself.
But in Jo's comment they're talking about WarZ and DayZ

[url=#user_comment_243826]@Anon[/url] not your cup of tea then? Only issue that i have with WarZ is that you dehydrate way too damn fast to do anything entertaining, DayZ i still enjoy mostly out of loyalty, but also quite a bit of gleeful pride in finally figuring out the atrocious GUI

I am in the same boat about the game. It is pretty 'Meh', a lot of running around doing nothing, 10 minutes of running away from zombies, and 4 seconds of shooting until one person dies...
I will just watch people play it if I really need too...

[url=#user_comment_243666]@AckAckAck[/url] Actually, I have WarZ. It exceeds DayZ in every way. Also, they're both crap.

What chores? Isn't Argonian Maid playing the kitchen-slave role now? I mean "kitchen" as an emotional symbol of "chores", not literally.
[url=#user_comment_243702]@Meh[/url] That might be because they're still in the pre-kickstarter phase. Also, I wasn't aware anything 'owned' the concept of a realistic low-fantasy MMO with hunger, thirst, and permanent death, especially given that ToA was originally started back in 2005, but had to be postpone due to no funding.
@ : I always though Star Battle should at least give dead player's control of a big mob, just so they have something to do while waiting for the game to conclude. It's not like they'd make much of a difference in that state but they'd still have something.

[url=#user_comment_243785]@KillerXzow[/url] you should try Star Battle SC2 map. There is only one consequence for death. If you died then you are dead.

Hey Jo, dont forget that PvP + Death with consequences are one of the keys of Dota/Dota2. It takes a while to get used too, but you start to realize what is safe or not in this kind of game.

[url=#user_comment_243684]@turkashi[/url] as loouis and meh have mentioned "the War Z" is a game attempting to cash in on dayZ's popularity.(or at least that's how i interpret it's short development period) haven't had the experience of playing it myself tbh. though the fiasco with steam, among others. hasn't help its rep any.

[url=#user_comment_243684]@Turkashi[/url]: DayZ is a mod of another game named Arma 2.
The War Z is a game made by Hammerpoint Interactive and is also a sandbox zombie game. One is a mod and the other one is a real game still in 'foundation release'.

[url=#user_comment_243604]@Geary[/url] ToA seems like vaporware to me. There's nothing on their site that proves they're able to do anything other than write and draw, and most of the concept is stolen from Salem/Haven&Hearth/Mortal anyway.

Whao had read 2x the comic before I understand, today Jo went full high level joke!
btw someone can explain short differnt between warz and the other Z? Though one was a fake that was delete by Steam very early.

Actually the game can be quite fun, course a lot are moving to more PvE or Private hives so that the admins have more control.
I mean...whats more fun than spawning into the game with blackhawk waiting to pick you up, load you with gear, and go RIGHT back into the fray!

Also it's still way WAY better than WarZ.
DayZ hardly has 'permanent death.' You respawn as normal, simply without any of the equipment you had.
For it to truly be permanent death, there would have to be some sort of character progression. There's actually an MMO in production that's attempting this, called Trials of Ascension.

You're wasting your time, Engie-Tan. That game really isn't good. At all. At least whenever I tried to play. Zombies spotting me from the other side of a lake, guns without bullets, bullets without guns, game-breaking glitches, unresponsive gameplay, bones breaking on doors... I could go on.
