Tl:dr
What is War Z? I keep hearing about it a buggy as -blam!- "game" made by sketchy devs who flat out lied to the people who buy the games.What was the lie?
From redditor whimmy_millionaire:
Quick look and list of errors on the page:
No mention of the game not being completed yet, first of all. Game is still alpha.
"Each world is 100 to 400 square kilometers"
There is only one map right now and that is only about 75 square kilometers. To contrast, DayZ's Chernarus huge map is 225 square kilometers, and they're claiming there will be maps up to 400.
"you can also rent and create Public or Private Servers allocating spots for Friends or Clans"
Feature isn't implemented yet
"gain experience points and spend it to learn dozen of available skills"
Feature not implemented yet. The fact that they say 'available' skills especially pisses me off.
"Meld of PVE(Player versus Environment) and PVP (Player versus Player)"
No PvE servers yet (this one just might be the wording, you can choose a PvE style of play, but you can still be killed by other players)
"Up to 100 Players per Game Server"
The player cap was at 70, but was recently set down to 50 because the map is too small for that many players
"Dedicated Public Servers as well as Private Servers"
No private servers yet.
Also, the screenshots lie. You will NEVER see that many zombies in the actual game.
Honestly, some of the blame falls on Steam for this one. Obviously the info was written by the WarZ guys and then sent to steam, but it's obvious no fact checking happened. Basically the game is being sold as a finished product when it's nowhere near. When I see things like this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/226700/discussions/0/8289252165 34676566/ it worries me.
EDIT: The fact that the game is listed as an indie mmo is laughable.
EDIT 2: Seems they've updated their steam page to remove some of the errors. Still no mention of alpha though.
