I have a thought on why Z8 is not doing so well.

What would be the point of buying zp then?

and how you gonna play a pcw without armor when you're a non zp buyer.

cf=pay to play.

5 more bullets. Same spray pattern. Same recoil. Still an upper advantage.

Yes but your never gonna spay 35 bullets on one guy. You can kill the whole team (8 players) with 30 bullets if you aim right. 5 bullets isn't a big deal. The only stuff that do give advantages are the characters (Dread runs fatser,maiden jumps higher) and some MG (machine guns) which have a load more ammo than the standard ones.

RPK : 80/80
RPK-Gold: 120/120 <

Big difference, unlike the other ZP guns.

ya alittle advantage but not much, still comes down to skill who wins. The missions give cool ZP prizes too. Just be glad they only sell guns and gear and not maps. I think for a free to play game Z8 is extremely generous.

so smart replies gotta love em, stop QQing and lrn2py

The same thing happens for every F2P game. When they start out there is little to buy that gives you an advantage, if at all. They try the "only cosmetic" plan with the mindset that it will make the players happy because everyone is on a even level, and they get the play the game for free, and this does make people happy. However, because you won't gain an advantage from it, very few buy it, thus it makes very little money. (look at battlefield heroes). If CF put out guns that just had other skins, some, but not many would buy them. Bit, if CF released a updated version of a gun that did double the damage of it's normal counterpart the amount of people that would flock to it would be staggering, but clearly this would break the game in terms of fairness.

It's all about the balance of wanting people to pay for an advantage and not breaking the game for those who don't play.

The longer someone plays, the more likely they are to consider investing money into the game. <-key point

So, I think CF's method of making guns with say +5 bullets is a good balance in terms of getting your money's worth vs breaking the game. This plus things like EXP boosts, ZM items, the special nades are all good ways to generate revenue for the game while keeping it fair.

That. If you don't give someone an incentive to buy something for the game, it will quickly go bankrupt. F2P games have to give people that pay some kind of advantage to entice players to gib munz

ZP doesn't make anyone better. It just gives you cooler stuff.

Unlike CA...anyone who buys NX has a huge advantage.

I don't care about zp items except armour,spop and star which are ****ing ******ed The bunny ears and crap are ****ing dumb aswell.

I'm so confused. Z8 is a she?

And I see no advantage in most ZP guns vs GP guns. M4-C vs M4 is a toss up. Just like M12S and Kriss. List goes on and on.

But how are you going to get money just by selling guns for zp with no visual/technical advantage.

No one would make money.

In this game its no matter of zp weapons or Chars or something.

If u have some skill and and a bit of training especially with the so called "noob" guns u can win over someone with zp items.
Except maybe in zombiemode, which isnt worth playing in my eyes.
(Dont like the idea of this mode but thats personal preference)

Everything u can do with a Kris u can do with some other smgs maybe sometimes better.
With some skill u can own a Kriss user with a P90, which has more ammo in one mag than a Kriss)

In sniper match u can own the AWM - Camo / Red Dragon Users with a Dragunov.
With some skills u can kill one shot an enemy withoot problems and its faster firing rate and reload time is way better than any AWM could be. (u can reload between to shots of an AWM User)

But its pretty simple that u need some training with this guns and u must accept that u wont go out from the first matches with a positive K/D rating.

I called the hard way, especially when u use the Dragunov.
Its no "I shot ur little Finger u must be dead" gun like AWM, which is pretty easy to use.

So play, use ur brain and learn something and ZP items are not something u need to fear (only when u play zm a lot )
