when I saw it at SOE Live the weather system looked cool but the game was pretty loving boring its basically a slightly less clunky Day Z with everything in english instead of russian which still makes it a terrible game

always be closing posted:Clothes and skins. Supposed to be $19.99, I though. But yeah, cosmetics for sure, but also maybe in-game mechanic stuff, too. They mentioned being able to buy a supply crate drop that would be accessible by anyone nearby, so... Expect them to find a way to do stupid poo poo because they didn't just charge up-front for the game.

The basic reason why this game is going to be bad is that SOE (among many other crippling flaws) is utterly incapable of programming an effective anti-cheat system, evidenced by anyone that has ever played Planetside 2. BattleEye, which DayZ runs on, actually enjoys greater success than PB or many other programs, but SOE has NEVER been able to get one working right, and in a game like this, that is incredibly important. Nothing sucks more than putting 10-15 hours into a DayZ character only to be headshot or script killed instantly. I mean it happens, and you expect it, but it still sucks.

This gives us just enough time to polish what we have and put out something we'll be proud of and hopefully you'll be excited to play. The main thing is that they're not hitting 2014, but not by much. You tell me what you think that means. E: Also DayZ is still buggy and doesn't really feel like it's fully of content, so if they're saying they're releasing something even worse, then

The white board of things they wanted to get in the game before EA (aka the poo poo that is allegedly holding them up): Details regarding whatever it is we're supposed to use the tickets and special servers for: quote:When we announced Early Access being on January 15th yesterday we didn't go into much detail about Event servers. So basically access to some aspects of gameplay is being gated behind a time-wall or a pay-wall. Alternatively, access to easier ways to obtain gear or something is available by playing on the servers accessible via tickets or something. It doesn't really sound reassuring, regardless of how you consider it.

They have always said there were going to be micro-transactions, it's not new. The only new part is being able to earn the tickets without spending money.

Arcade posted:Gullible people with fat wallets gotta ruin it for the rest of us. Actually they make it so you can play games free. There's basically WoW and FFXIV for games with monthly fees that are managing some level of competent service with a monthly fee attached, everyone else poo poo the bed there. Every game with no monthly is kept going by a bunch of whales with mental problems that drop a shitload of money on tedious bullshit, allowing everyone else to get like 90% of the content for free. Monthly fees don't magically make developers competent, nor does it stop them from adding microtransactions anyway. What you have now is a system that generally gives the most content to the most people for the least amount of money.

hitachi posted:I don't think the ticketed game modes are things I would have even thought about unless they brought it up. I think the concern is that there will be interplay between ticketed game modes and the F2P stuff that could be construed as "pay to win." Crude example that I totally just made up and may not be representative of what will actually be implemented: If one ticketed game mode is an FFA deathmatch that costs 1 ticket per round and involves some number of players, and the winner of the round gets, say, a rifle that his character in the F2P portion can use, then people argue that this is pay to win since you use money to gain faster access to something people find particularly valuable. Of course, something like this is also predicated on a person being skilled enough to use such a system effectively. In any case, I think it's a pretty pointless line of debate because when you encounter someone in the world, you don't know how long they spent getting their gear or where they got it from. And quite frankly, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you're in an encounter with them, and you have to deal with that. The outcome of that encounter is independent of how either person's gear was acquired, and in the long-run, even pay-to-win gear should get redistributed throughout the player population. The only way I could see this mattering is if there is some sort of feature that involves a race against time, since buying gears is faster than scavenging. But since this is perma-death and people will be dying and respawning all over, and asymmetrical encounters will be normal, I see no space for serious debate about the horribleness of pay to win.

True enough on the possibility of rewards for game modes but to be honest until that announcement I didn't even know there were going to be game modes and if it gives someone a shiney new rifle like in your example, well that's just someone to collect a rifle from.

This MMO looks like a huge disappointment. I don't understand why we can't have an MMO that has the community working together in a zombie survival scenario. I hate DayZ and was hoping this would fill that niche.

I hate DayZ and was hoping this would fill that niche. The vast majority of people really do not seem to want this. Everyone wants conflict at some point, and PvP conflict is the best sort of conflict available. You can run around with goons and work within a goonmunity, probably, but let's not pretend that having a giant hugbox in which everyone happily cooperates to establish an agrarian society in the wake of the apocalypse sounds like much fun. That said, there will be PvE servers so people who get really worked up about PvP conflict can just be quarantined there.

Yeah I know my opinion isn't popular, but it is just something I've always wanted from a zombie survival game. State of Decay is very close to what I'm looking for.

Reminder that this thing comes out on the 15th of this month. They just launched the Steam Store page for it, and they had some streaming event today. All that said, I can't help but feel that this is going to be a massive flop, and that it might be a reasonably good idea to not buy this on the 15th, since my guess is it's going to be a disaster. E: Here's what you get, depending on how much you pay: This Standard Edition Bundle ($19.99 USD) grants you: Early Access to H1Z1 3 Event Tickets (Roughly $2.97) 1 Key (Unknown Cost) 2 Crates (Unknown Cost) The Premium Edition Bundle ($39.99 USD) grants you: Early Access to H1Z1 25 Event Tickets (Roughly $24.75) 3 Airdrop Tickets (Unknown Cost) 4 Keys (Unknown Cost) 6 Crates (Unknown Cost) Exclusive Aviator Hat Crafting Recipe Keys & Crates Keys open crates. Crates are cosmetic only Crates can be earned over time (length unknown) Tickets Top 1/3rd (roughly 10 players) of a Battle Royale gamemode round (32 players) will receive another "ticket" as a "payout" (reward). "Event Tickets" are Pay-to-Play (valued at $0.99 each USD) but can drop in-game for free. SOE has not released specifics such as ticket duration (ie. potential number of rounds) or in-game drop-rate.

If it has more stuff to do than DayZ, but better quality than the WarZ (Or whatever that piece of poo poo is called now), I will be satisfied. Especially if we can all run around with no pants on like in Rust and stab people to death with spears.
