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

    ok,the new zombie mode is obviously the zp game,if you're not buying zp forget 'bout it

    Nah, I manage kids with just a regular rpk. 102-3. I agree with what some kid said, the gun doesn't mean crap it's the player (+ the computer their running.)
  • Sure, you use ZP guns from time to time, but in the end, your best gun is a GP gun.

    NO ZP = NO CF.

    Anywyas...I don't really see how ZP affects gameplay, 1 with AK(Standard) vs 1 with AK-Camo... they are both the same thing if you know how to aim for the head.

    Totally agree.
  • I think that making a server or a Chanel in each server WOGL-Rules would be a good idea because then the game is evened out more. Apart from a small amount of guns non zp and zp buyers are the same
  • The biggest advantge/disadvantage is ping. And then fps not realy about guns.
  • i dont really see zp being a table turner in the games. granted there are some small tweaks on the weapons and using the spop or star characters. one thing i really didnt like is when they came out with the armor for zp. i do believe that is a item that can turn the tables a bit.

    i remember back when cf was release and fallen was saying that there will be no "golden" gun. he has stuck true to that comment. i just wish that the armor wasnt released

    It may not help a whole lot. It's just that.... It's a tad bit unfair to other players. I am sure the popularity of this game would be better if zp didn't have such an effect on gameplay.

    Also, thanks for your response.
  • Back again (lost the thread for ages).

    The thing that should be mentioned is that Zombie Mode (MM) games do not affect your stats, they are clearly not meant to be core parts of the game and provide a great opportunity to generate more income.

    Things like sound down, and fall damage down... sorry but unless you are a serious GM player then you wont need these :)

    Personally I find for TD, SnD, EM most guns used are GP buy able, with the exception of the M4C, which is easily out shootable (Unless the other player is pro with an m4 anyway, which would mean you lose...)

    I find the ZP investments don't add much to the ability of a player (and I have invested a load of money into ZP, simply because it saves me needing to get a WoW sub :D

    Question: Does ZP affect play at all?
    It changes your appearance, lets you use different nades (arguably slight difference, but not much) and allows you to get a few different guns. Also you can level faster... but who cares about level on an FPS which is about skill.. this isn't WoW you're playing here.

    BUT fundamentally, surely it is just the skill of the player, not the ZP they spend that makes them good.
    I have the M4C, AKSilv, M4Silv, Winchester, Winchester Scope, DC... arguably all of these are ZP weapons... yet I still use a QBZ as my main weapon, too great effect.


    suba (if not z8) said that they would never offer items the were zp only that would provide an obvious advantage......

    ARmor, axe, shovel/ breath down/noise down/mutation jacket/fall decrease/ and all the extra nades are ALL ITEMS THAT GIVE A CLEAR ADVANTAGE and they are all for zp........

    also, I am a bad knifer,,,,, i do about twice is good with a axe on average and do not normally keep one... give a noob a shovel and the weapon makes up for any lack of skill... few will disagree.. other wise they would not need more then one melee weapon if one of then did not obviously outperform the others.

    If i had all the guns in the game i whould still play with K2...
  • this isn´t a free to play game dude... I pay to play

    zp ins´t free, and the game is made with the purpose of making the player spend some cash on it.

    They need money to keep the servers running right and the staff working lol

    Well if you want a REALLY free game try America's Army.. go play it if you want a balanced game.

    America's army is NOT FREE. My federal income taxes paid for it and I had no choice to opt out. 200+ million Americans were robbed to pay for that game. I played that game for 2 seasons on TWL, so I feel I got my money's worth.
  • To all you mental midgets trying to say that ZP doesn't affect gameplay balance...

    ...you're wrong.

    ZP gets you armor and helmet. I don't care what you say, it turns you into a tank. I had both for a week, and I was constantly pulling 4.0 KDR w/ace on SnD maps and getting votekicked 2 or 3 times a night.

    I'm considering buying it again and throwing the spop and scarlight back on just out of spite.
