These are pre-notes, we are still working on some points such weapons and attachments. Details are getting added later.

I really hope that  loot will not be greatly increased. It's already enough in general.

If the amount of loot increases, then the point was from the wipe, if there is more loot again? Don't do this guys.

I'm sorry for my English if it's bad.

No, don't worry. We only increase it a little bit.

not only the loot or small changes have to be done to get the game back on the line ... you have to do new thinks , weekly changes , weekly dev / Mod streams , adds on youtube / twitch or ppl that streame the game and get paid for it ...

Chupa  knows his job. Very good

you mean increasing super zombie and slincer loot, so the sniper rifle drop will also be a bit bigger?

please just little bit  i trying and trying 100 super zoombie 13 slicers, maybe unlucky but sad...

* "Players can no longer use the" double jump "in Private Servers."

Would that be the jump with the "V" keybind?
won't we be able to high jump private servers anymore? haha why is that? it will disturb a lot who plays on private server

  * "Increased the overall loot on Official servers"

Guys, if you guys want me to fill the official servers and decrease the amount of player on the private servers, just stop selling the private servers

i think the double jump remove is to stop people from leaving chars into "overpower" spots and ghost with them, like in spot you can't reach without double jump

Following changes have been added:

• Weapon adjustments
• QBZ-95 icon update

Season Pass is also included but get's announced in a separate post.

Hey Devs Team, i want to sugest something to you guys. Something that i really miss in the game is the old UI of the "Infestation: Survivor Stories", is it possible to put it back on the game or maybe we have a possibility to choose between wich one (The Old HP, Food and Water or The NewZ new HP, Food and Water)

Thanks for still working on the game guys!

Great patch ! lots of important improvements.

Got it, very good ...
But I would like you to explain to me, how will a new player, who wants to play with friends on a private server, how can he take this item on top of the tank? since he will no longer be able to "double jump" it on a private server, but he can "double jump" on the official server very good right! makes a lot of sense about it!

The double jump is not only for "overpower" spots, it is also for new players to get to know the game completely, to limit this mechanics of the game just to "encourage" players to go to official servers, it will only keep new players away or stop playing. 

Sorry for the english i'm brazilian and i don't have a fluent english

 

Damn ... Guys, you said the loot was slightly increased. I walked around Boulder City and found so many guns and weapons that they didn't fit into my Alice backpack.

I don't understand why you made a wipe if there is even more loot now? (Especially guns) With the rest of the loot, everything is almost fine, but why so much military loot and guns? Especially in civilian places. I advise you to fix it faster before the game turns back to what it was. People started leaving again because they realized that no changes had happened and this was not an old ISS(WarZ). There is a lot of loot again, there is no sense of survival, etc. It's sad that the old game won't come back. You had to fundamentally change everything. Lots of zombies, rare AR and a sense of fear. But everything returned to what it was before the wipe.

Just wondering why my posts get deleted without even an explanation

Reduce military drop, increase sniper drop slightly all over the place

* Please put back the HIGH JUMP. / double jump. ON PVE.

I only play Survival PVE.  No high jump on PVE = That Ruined my game play indeed. wonderful. :(

.. welp.. I'm off to play another game now. till this is back on pve.

I completely agree, the game after the wipe has already started wrong, it didn't start like the old iss warZ.
I played in the iss warz in 2012, weapons and ammunition were rare, food was rare, to the point that you had to play with other players you didn't know in search of food in the cities, you at least worried about weapons. Today the game has become pure pvp, if you find another survivor you have never seen, you simply kill or die. You do not have the slightest desire to interact, in the past you used to be without food alone and you had to get together with other people, talked by voip and interpreted, today voip only serves to curse the other.
I remember that I entered a city alone, found another survivor, exchanged food, when we saw we were in a group of 5 people cleaning the city without even knowing each other,
and because nobody had a gun and we were forced to join.
In the old iss warz as weapons and ammunition were extremely rare, you shouldn't go shooting any 1 to avoid spending as it would take a long time to find, you used your weapons and ammunition wisely.
Today the game in survival mode is unfortunately only there to please crying pvp players, who want more and more chances for weapons, sniper rifles, etc.
The increase in food was the complaint of pvp players who are campering in the city like a retard waiting for survivors to kill, then they run out of food and have to leave the campsite to search.
With this significant increase in food loot you won't need to do that, the survival game again has returned to a pure pvp game where zombies and survival is an illusion.

We are rolling out a hotfix for the Patch 4.0. Note can be found here:

Oh yeah! What is the point of calling it survival if food is everywhere, medicines are constantly falling out of zombies and weapons,guns can be found in every building?

Yesterday I just wanted to run around Crearview, but as always, I was killed by the damn campers sitting on the rooftops and just waiting for the players. This is not survival. Not at all!

F*** these campers, let them go looking for food and medicine around!  There used to be groups. There was survival and fear. Now we again have only huge masses of loot and pvp. Why  you guys don't  listen to players when they ask for really important things? If you released real survival, people would not leave this game.

We talked about loot and other things, but the hotfix only affected the RECOIL AND SPREAD ... 

WARZ REBOOT! Ahah, I laugh and sad at the same time! We got the same open world again with fewer snipers and slightly fewer weapons.

I was so excited to hear about the game's return. It was pretty good at first, but with this patch you ruined everything again! Thanks

Edited November 20 by RIpper1403

Now weapons fully depends on all the attachments you added to the game. Remember the days when you could pvp without attachments and if you had a forward and a compact it only helped slightly. The guns shoot one or two straight bullets then the spread goes wildly inaccurate. I dont have 100 of each attachments now you're forcing me to inevitably spend money on the game because that is your END GAME. Just to not listen to players and make as much money on your game until it dies then move on to another reboot. Please change the guns back this is just awful.
