Hi folks,

If you feel like the airdrops are an issue for you, you may immediately request a refund to bwilcox@soe.sony.com - this offer applies till Monday and it applies only to people that have purchased the game as of 10:30am Pacific today 1/16/2015 -

Please note that this is going through us, not Steam. Which means it's a little more work so please be patient with the actual refund (it may take a day or two).

Honestly I think if the game was just :10bux: :10bux: pay to play there would be a lot less rage about it. Smedley is already on thin ice with a lot of people because of SWG and Planetside 2 Implant bullshit. Regardless of how they ultimately decide to tweak the air drops, it was a massive PR fuckup. Smedley still seems like a glue sniffing idiot, and their game has made an awful first impression.

also I think I read that saline & a bandage will make a first aid kit, which will theoretically heal you a lot more than a bandage

saline requires purified water & salt (you'll find salt in loot containers)

It was meh for a good year, and then for about 6 months it was fun, then I don't remember what they did but it made me uninstall the game and not play it anymore.

Ammo is the main problem not the guns. If we can figure out if crafting ammo is a thing then that would be swell.

Can someone explain why a shipping container that is full of supplies explodes upon gently making contact with the ground. Also why is a supply drop full of zombies.

I know this isn't meant to be a realistic game, but I'm having a hard time understanding the "why" of this situation.

As far as I've seen, every drop is like that.

It just seems like something that would totally own a new player and make them lose money. It's like some really misguided dev's effort to make the game seem "hardcore". Like "Heh, you gotta be careful in this game, you never know what will kill you!". Which is fine, if you do in some logical way, like igniting a can of gas causing an explosion.. However, it doesn't make any sense that a shipping container would just explode and contain zombies when it's supposed to be a supply drop.

Actually tried playing this now. Despite every other lovely thing about the game the five seconds of lag between when I press a button and something happens moves it from absolute poo poo to unplayable poo poo.

I don't know, to me that seems as funny as some 14 year old gaining admin powers on a counter-strike server and then killing random people.

I know it's really zany that it explodes and contains zombies, but even the most basic games don't kill the player by some really nonsensical way. Standing under the drop and getting squished? Sure. Having the drop randomly explode doesn't make sense.

or dont whatever








is there any idea when the game will go F2P? i can't figure out what incentive SOE has to take it out of EA if that is where they'll make the majority of their money and after that the game is sustained on air drops

edit: i suppose it should be out of EA by the PS4 release which would cost money BUTSTILL

You say this, but I feel like if you paid money for a drop only to have it kill you, you'd be irked. Then again, maybe people who bought this game don't mind the idea of wasting money. I think I finally have the answer to my original question of why this is a thing. Thanks all.
