Again, i find the arguments raised by those of you who have barely played the game for a week interesting.
The mechanic of a respawn timer of 60 min was in place from the beginning. Now its 4hrs, its lame but in no means permanent. I would not be surprised to find the devs change that timer depending on the number of complaints n suggestion on their forums.
Microtransactions were also always in place and intended from day 1. The microtransaction system up until now, and still pretty much, is NOT revolving around a 'pay2win' model. The Game Credits (GC) that players "buy" for Real $ cannot buy weapons and gear that makes them have a game-breaking advantage, in fact mos of the decent shit needs to be bought with in-game "dollars" not to be confused with real money. In game dollars are random accumulated drops from zombies. Now that players can spend 'real money' aka GC to spawn faster, well that is no guarantee of success or an unbalanced advantage because again, they can just as quickly die. What these types of players do is help pay for WarZ devs to add and update with a consistent stream of revenue. Are they dumb? Yeah but their money, their choice. Again, items or spawns bought with real mone doesnt make the player invincible to those who 'play for free'
The game was developed entirely on by independent devs initially. The features that were misrepresented on steam are intended to be added or implemented and was/is based solely on the success of preorders for the game. Those who preordered back in september helped the devs fund their furher development which they have been doing quite regularly and responsively to the community.
Some consider this a scam, but it was more a fault on steam/valve/warz for not clarifying thr game is in BETA which it still is meanin it has bugs, has updates and changes, and is by no means a finished and static product at this time.
As to saying the devs inplementing this mechanic of respawn prevents you from playing when you want and how you want, well sure. Its a matter of your perspective on it. To me, the game was designed as a zombie survival horror mmo with future rpg elements to be implemented. In order for a player to be successful and srvive, they have to play smart. I had no problems wih the oroginal 60min respawn considering 5 characters can be made and played when one dies. With 4hrs, i may have to change how i play but it probably wont ruin my overall experience with the game.
And a fallacy of your point, 'i bought it so i should play itthe way i want whenever i want' is that most games/mmos have a ToS that says the devs have full right to dictate the rules n regulations of the game. Just cuz u buy it doesnt mean ur allowed to get hacks and play with hacks or 3rd party mods. It doesn mean that when they are updating the game n severs r down that you are entitled to be playin right then and there. If this were the case all game publishers would be outta business from being sued or from $0 revenue because of all their refunds.
Either way, feel like ur gaming rights were infringed n violated or feel like you were scammed or shammed. To the rest of us who have given WarZ a chance and gotten used to the game now, i can say we are all relatively happy. I say, Too bad ur gonna miss out on fun times with some TD memebers on mumble :/
is CS:GO still on Steam?
