Do you have any proof they banned anyone but hackers though? I mean I don't have any proof otherwise, but there was a few weeks there where the game was impossible to play because every server was riddled with hackers. There were A LOT of hackers. Putting items in inaccessable places is somethign they only started doing like a day or two ago with the recent patch, and they have other anti-hacking methods in place.
What's wrong with the game being accessable the first day of alpha by testers? I don't remember anyone with a beta access account being able to play, and I know a few people who had those?
Do you have any proof of ANY of their "other" anti hack method in place ? Because you have to be pretty dumb to bait items to fight hacking.
I do know some people (via WarZ forums), that weren't hackers, and did get banned.
You can also look at what the moderator said about that. "randomly ban accounts that are very active as they know the people behind the accounts are addicted and will sign up again."
Also, survivors were able to get in the first "release". Not being able to make the difference between survivors and other packages. Great job.
Stealth sytem, AI, rendering, server capacity, etc: the game is still in development." That they didn't mention it on steam doesn't change the fact that the game isn't done yet. It's like how Minecraft wasn't done but kept letting people pay money for it (and then said "we're done!" held a massive convention to celebrate it, arbitrarily raised the price, and still wasn't finished).
The devs do comunicate with the community. I mean you say they insult players, how can they do that without communicating with them? Sure they're kinda shit at it, but they do release patch notes, talk about what they're working on, what should be in the game soon, why some features didn't make recent patches, etc. You'd have to be willfully ignorant to think theres no developer/community communication.
DF, Minecraft, and a ton of games are still in development. And I'm talking about in game features. Not about skills, and all the other features.
Then, why are you liking to minecraft ? Point being ? It's acceptable the game isn't finished because another game wasn't finished at said that either ?

Though not saying the game is in beta or alpha or whatever is pretty stupid
That's basically what they did the whole time. Vaporware.
You don't know what the word vapourware means... :S
The devs have always said the game was in early development. The only time they have fucked that up is when they put it on steam, and I thought I read somewhere they fixed that now? Either way they've definatly not been doing it "the whole time."

You mean, building hype to try to sell a game the more possible, with actually only a prototype behind ? Yes, that's what they did the whole time. Saying the game was developped since a long time. Saying it wasn't a WarInc mod. Saying survival will be an important part. And so on.
That's prettying much "selling smoke", and there's no other way to qualify that thing as anything other than a cash grab.
A paying game with micro transaction ? It's "ok", as long as items aren't necessary/very important.
Paying important features ? That's bullshit. And there's no other words.
You very obviously don't like the game, and that's cool. But you're also being very obviously kind of biased in the way you look at it. The game has problems sure, but I've had enough fun to warrent whatever it was I paid for it a few months back. So have my friends. If they improve on it from here on I'll be even more happy.
And once again I can't help mentioning that other games do this stuff, but they aren't DayZ-genre entries. The perception that this game "Ripped off" DayZ seems to be colouring peoples perceptions of it hugely, and things they'd happily accept from other companies and developers are suddenly huge warning signs that this is a scam or vaporware (note: you don't get to play vaporware. Vaporware doesn't mean "a game I don't like" or "a game in development")
So because, I tested a game (before it launched on Steam), I'm biased ? Biased compared to what ? Did I mention DayZ once in my post ?
Thank you for assuming things that I thought because I obviously didn't knew them before you told me so.
Also, no, "ripping off" a game is pretty common practice. When you do it properly.
