  • You do realise that ZM is not going to be unplayable like the HM MM things. Because hacks actually kind of help you? So There will still be loads of people playing it, in a few years time.
  • 1boss a day I'll get the ribbon in 3years. yay.
  • I doubt anyone will have this soon lolz.
    As stated above. This is exactly the point.

    You are very correct. No one will have this soon.

    If we wanted to give a ribbon out like that it would have been like this:
    "Have a ribbon 2"

    You have logged in to check your ribbons 3 days after the most recent Cross Fire update.
    Again, The point of this is to take long, and not to give out the ribbon for no reason "soon" after a patch.


    Think of it this way, you can now work towards being the first person to get this ribbon!

    hm is actually the most playable mode before patch.

    And you're right! hackers will make hacks for the zm and people will use them. So looks like people will have this ribbon in a few months (weeks)
    so nvm!

    People will now see hackers with a open arms for those mode.
  • i dont see the point they patch you moan about new guns skins the fact most of the times its zp guns/crates every patch.
    When they bring a mode quite a few people was waiting for you moan about ribbons lol.
    Is there anyway this community will ever just be happy with what you get?
  • What I want to know is who to pick up the ribbon, I kill it I HAVE 1,000 or 1,000 Lider Zombies Zombies normal?

    1 hour = 2 bosses per hour

    2*24 = 48 bosses per day

    1000/48 = 20.83 DAYS played to kill 1000 bosses


    and that's if you kill one boss EVERY game. I'm not sure how boss kills are calculated (whether you need to get the last hit or just be in the game when it dies).

    if you need the last shot to get the kill and there are 4 people in the room, then you have a 1/4 chance per game of getting the kill every half an hour.


    that means if you need the last hit to get the kill:

    83.33 DAYS played to kill 1000 bosses.



    that's 499.92 hours played if you just need to be in the game to get the kill

    that's 1999.2 hours played if you need the last shot to get the kill






    see why it's ridiculous? 499.92 hours played of just zombie mode would take like 5 years at least, never mind 1999.2 hours.

    "Gun collector", "Crate Buster", "SEAL Team Member".

    There are lots of ribbons that require ZP purchases.
    Its because there aren't a hell of a lot you can have a as requirements, ZP is obviously a huge part of this game.


    Mind you, you don't have to spend anything to win the Revival of the Fittest ribbon, free tokens from events count towards the total too.

    So you won't win it. Lots of people will.
    This is a future ribbon, announced ahead of time.
    We could've very well released it in 1 year and lots of people would've gotten it instantly.
    Instead, its released now and people have something to work towards, if they want to casually, for a year.



    Amazes me every time how people can be so offended by a non-issue..
  • The revival ribbon sucks hard,no offence z8,but that's the real deal.....I'm not going to spend 400.000ZP just to get a ribbon...............(10k zp=25 revival tokens..)

    //btw,i think Z8 is starting to act like EA,and rip the hell out of us..,dont ya think? buy 1000 revival tokens,what a joke omg..id rather buy the whole item shop to be honest

    While this issue is pretty much closed, I do want to point this fact out again for the people who can't seem to get the point.


    This line quoted here is exactly the difference in opinion. If it takes 80 days of constant playing to get 1000 boss kills then there is nothing wrong with that.

    Lets stretch those 80 days though and give you some time to sleep and eat and go to school. Lets say it takes you 180 days to complete the task. (more than twice the listed time)


    Now lets go out 180 days from now. That takes us to approximately March of next year.

    If you had 980 boss kills by March of next year you wouldn't be disappointed with a ribbon that says "Get 1000 boss kills". Because you know in a few days you would be able to get the ribbon. But people who just joined the game in March would have the same attitude as you do right now.

    So try to relax a bit and realize this is supposed to be long term.


    Try to think in long term here. Even if you no life it for 25 days to get the ribbon that is actually shorter than we intended on people getting the ribbon.

    where did you hit your head? 50 tokens are 8k

    in the ingame shop where you buy them for 1 ,noone specified there are in the web mall aswell

    Since there are different prices for Revive Tokens (buying 1 as opposed to buying 50) then the calculated cost of 1000 Tokens is going to be different.

    It should also be known that tokens achieved from prizes, yes I'm very sure we're going to do events with rewards as Tokens, will count towards your total as well.

    And as with all things, there is a pretty good balance and ratio of ribbons that may or may not require zp to those that you just have to participate in, to those that track stats on your account.

    This particular ribbon fit the bill for something to include so we included it. It is by no means required for players to get all 1000 revive tokens at one time through some sort of zp transaction 5 minutes after the patch was released.

    Huge part of this game?
    You heard about currency exchange rates?
    Give me a fair price - I buy up to one million ZP each month.
    For 10 f. euro I bought Bad Company 2 - understand that? 10 Euro - and I have everything the game has to offer - all weapons, support, chance to get all achievements, minimum number of cheaters - just play.
    Now convince me why would I play and PAY for CrossFire?
  • Kiss ass? What? Im pointing out the obvious... im not obligated to stick up for Z8... im not an employee

    Why is 1k not possible?

    Don't you think over a thousand hours of continuous non-stop fulltime gaming at ZM is a bit much for casual/normal/employed/students players? All that for one ribbon! Thats 42 days NON STOP GAMING! Pff..

    That's impossible for normal players.
  • I just calculated some random things:

    The best players I know killed a boss with 9 revive tokens. Multiply that with 4000 when you have an average chance of 25% to get the last hit. 36000 tokens cost 3600 dollars right now. That's it.

    Its not my job to convince you to do anything. You buy what you want to, for whichever reason you have.

    I spent double that on my two latest gun wins, great success, this ribbon is gonna come cheap in comparison. <3

    he doesn't get as much free zp as he wants, but he does get compensation for his time in zp

    The ZP I get for free per month isn't even 10% of that I actually BUY per month.

    numbers? ;)
  • they made that bcz its the best way to get some cash..
  • I agree Hitman 500 bosses and 250 revival token would be great cause 1000 bosses is like more than a years and the revival token one is very to much i know it's only me but I Don't wanna pay like more than 100$ for a ribbon XD
