EX-Forum Mod Devin here. Let me tell ya some stuff you can spout on for a new youtube video

My forum account was hacked, my fault, they deleted a lot of posts. I was de-modded and banned, got my computer secure, re-modded and unbanned and took care of business as usual. Except their company is full of dumb fucks and didn't backup the forums at all. No backups whatsoever.

Sergay then took it upon himself to tell Kewk to demote me for my fuckup that could have been reversed if they were not so fucking stupid.

I then made a post on the forums about how I knew this was coming; and I was sorry and would not long be supporting a company that did not support their unpaid volunteer Moderators that spent over 100+ hours answering THEIR CUSTOMERS questions and concerns as well as relaying them the ideas the community had for their bullshit game.

I was then banned for making a "Rage quit" thread permanent and here is the even funnier part my in-game account banned under the excuse I requested a refund

So, since I didn't sign any sort of NDA for those fuckfaces here are some interesting facts.

WarZ is a direct port over from War Inc. They literally took the game and added NPCs, made a large map, and changed around camera angles and gun settings while adding more functionality and switching over some things. ALL ART however was actually done in-house by their amazing ART team. (Those were the best guys to know, they were in touch more with the community than Kewk)

They randomly ban accounts that have a certain amount of time spent playing in-game, knowing they are hooked on the game so they re-buy the game.

Their anti-hack is actually functional but here's the kicker..wanna know WHY their bans are TEMPORARY the first time around? 0.8% hacking? Try an EXTREMELY LARGE PORTION of the player base is hacking. If they banned everyone they'd have a mass refund issue on their hands, and no one to play their piss poor of an excuse game.

they plan to HALT DEVELOPMENT AND ABANDON THE GAME in SIX months if revenue is not enough for them (I.E. People are not buying GC and spending the fuck out of it) -- take note, if they do not get ENOUGH revenue. They will have enough revenue to pay for the game development for over a year at this point in time already, but if they don't get enough to give themselves regular raises they will stop making the game and shut down the servers and website.

This is a cause for some nasty lawsuits if true.

Fuck.... I'm always a skeptic of posts like this but from the things I've seen of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. And if it is in fact true then screw those guys. They are already riding the wave of Dayz by making a VERY similar game and this just adds insult to injury.

I always doubt the legitimacy of posts from "former employees" like this, but if true, that is just revolting. Never had any reason to dive into WarZ, not I definitely don't want to.

Normally, I'd blow this off or, at the very least, be super skeptical...but EA Louse.

Also, judging from what I've seen and heard of this game, this wouldn't surrprise me regardless.

Glad I didn't buy it.

Not surprising, they just launched a new patch with clan support, so everyone tries to go make clans. turns out it costs GC, which is their real-money bought currency, to make a clan, and the costs go up the more people you want to add to it. Not even looking at if/ how badly they are profiting on the day z name, this kind of stuff is still fucked.

damn son, DRAMA

I think that there is always some truth to a man with nothing to lose, that being said doesn't mean I believe all of what the ex-mod is 100% true, in fact I hope it isn't. Things like this though makes me think twice about giving support to a game before its out. It would be nice if game devs in general when making MMO like games that require an incoming cash flow to say "Hey before you invest in our game this is how its going to be, when you get the game it will come with at least X amount of months/years of support out of the box guaranteed. With an upfront approach like that the end users doesn't feel cheated. Expectations are on the table and everyone wins. One game comes to mind that this kind of happened to was APB. I don't quite remember all the details but it wasn't good.

Here and there I'd pick up on some of this stuff. I totally think it checks out.
 
Oh and Sergey Titov, the executive producer of The WarZ, was lead programmer and a producer for Big Rigs.
 
Aww yeah.

I will never understand why someone would want to be a moderator. If you got paid maybe it would make sense.

Aren't theses the Fucktards that basically copy and pasted the LoL TOS? If that wasn't a red flag that these guys are extremely shady I dont know what is.

Drama.

Dude, that's actually really dirty. I feel like I shouldn't have anything to do with this.

...dear god.

Some of that shit (assuming it's true), makes EA look fucking saintly.

Not surprising. My buddy has been playing it. Looks like crap.

@Fattony12000: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Why did I not expect that.

Holy. fuck.

I have been warning guys about this game for months. Nothing about it ads up and Titov is well known as a piece of shit. Nobody listens to me.

And yes, WarZ is the one that was noted for doing just that. :P

So... Yeah- and odds are decent they're gonna just keep getting away with all this, yes?

@Fattony12000: I wear headphones, so that shit was extra intense.

@Xeirus: My thoughts...EXACTLY.

This some shit.

@Fattony12000: Jesus Christ you made me jump a fucking mile.

Is this blackmail? What services? All because people want to cancle the pre-order?

We would like to inform you that if the refund is made for you right now, you will be put in the global black list of non-trusted users and some services may refuse you in providing a payment in future.

So the guy only cares about the companies bad business practices because he got fired? What a douche.

Here's hoping that they get what's coming to them. And all this time I thought the only game that they were ripping off was DayZ.

I read all that thinking it was about Day Z lol, WTF is the War Z?

A first person, open world zombie survival game that has a Z in its name and is not a sequel to DayZ ? Please.

I could smell the scam from Venus.

getting a refund, fuckthem

Why would you care? Don't you want to just get your money back and be done with the game? And what payments are they talking about?

@Bourbon_Warrior: Pretty much a standalone game aiming to profit from what Day Z popularized.

Based on what Sergey Titov said about calling campers in his own game "faggots" (rather than taking it upon himself to improve his game mechanics) I already knew I wanted nothing to do with War Z.

Actually it was proven to be false. The "ex-moderator" posted a video on youtube about how he made it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svd-p3-CURk&feature=youtu.be

The people behind The War Z are shady?  Nothing shocking here.

I sure am glad I didn't pick this up when it popped up on Steam. Sounds like some shady non-sense.

not as bad as mine z , blatant dayz ripoff built in minecraft and they have some bullshit pay to win system as well .. which feels even more unscrupulous seeing as its built on a $15 game with otherwise free multiplayer.

even that pales in comparison to "hunger games" a minecraft based survial pvp mode which introduces league of legends style heroes as selectable kits.. cool idea but they charge money for the individual kits and they keep adding more and more and dont actually give a fuck about balance .. except if ppl stop playing , then they just nerf the most op kit and its back to normal heh ..

i guess the world of budget multiplayer titles is a cut-throat industry and ppl are willing to step on eachothers toes to get some $$

Ah, what a trainwreck.

What are we to believe now?! Nevertheless, I'm probably not going to get The War Z in either case. Day Z is good enough for me!

Ouch.

What a terrible name for a game.

Ya, what the fuck, ruining rep like that. Even if the company deserves it, this kid is in for some libel.

But all the scandal around it really doesn't matter for me, as a gamer. What matters is if this game is good, and apparently, the game's the real trainwreck.

One of these pieces of communication from the "ex moderator" seems real, and the other does not. Guess which one I believe.

I haven't played War Z myself, so I'm wondering how much of this is true?

http://warzscam.tumblr.com/post/37403063494/unrealistic-screenshots-from-the-war-z

Either way, I'll stick with Day Z.

Well damn, this game is just a hot mess, as it seems. Very glad I didn't buy it! Don't wanna support scumbag devs like these.
