1. Wipe
As we're moving toward Foundation Release ( which most likely will be at same time we'll launch game on Steam ) we'll do a wipe - most likely this weekend. You'll get back all GC you bought as part of the packages, you'll also get some extra free GC as our thank you for being early players. Most likely you'll have all in game characters unlocked for - once again - our present to you guys! We also thinking about giving our some "zombie survival kits" - set of items necessary to start over surviving in a zombie world.
2. New way of buying game. New packages
As we've said before - we want our early adopters to feel special - so we decided that we'll stop selling Survivor, Pioneer packages ( Legend's sales are over for good now, with about 500 or so keys are still available at retail Gamestop locations around USA ). Instead we'll offer number of "unnamed" packages that doesn't offer any recognition ingame, or doesn't unlock any characters from the start, etc. Only difference between packages will be the amount of GC you get.
3. New Antihack
New antihack is coming. I think it'll happen around mid-end of December - new system is relying on analyzing players patterns and reacting upon them. It's pretty complex system running on separate server, and we hope it will let us to replace existing system - that still most of the time ( is wallhack or ESP is used ) rely on humans to ban cheaters - which can take day or two. Once again - we'll become slightly more secure in our never ending fight with hackers.
4. Steam release
Okay this one is simple - game will become available on Steam. We also exploring ways for existing users to link game to their Steam accounts - nothing to report there yet, but we're working on this.
5. GC Sale
Yes you'll be able to buy GC after wipe!
6. New features roadmap.
Okay this one will be more like "wishlist" - it's based on Hammerpoint's internal development plan, but as always something may come up - new hacks, other things that will slow us down. So please take this more like a guidelines, not hard promises:
Foundation Release ( December 2012 )
- Clans
- Friends
- Leaderboards
- Server rentals
- New set of building blocks ( aka barricades and USABLE objects like hydroponics systems )
- Call for help functionality
- Accessing your inventory from Safe Settlement without loging out of the game
- Accessing Store from Safe Settlement without loging out of the game
- .22 cal guns - rifles, pistols
- More cool melee weapons
- Better use of ballistic helmets, armor vests.
- Flare guns ( okay we had it for a while, but just didn't released it to you guys yet )
- Better weight system
- Option to turn on crosshairs in TPS
Still December 2012, but maybe moved to January '13
- "Safe" or "Locker" items - allows you to safely store items anywhere on the map ( think of DayZ's tents, but working properly ). Two types - one with 4-5 digits PIN lock, other with no lock at all
- Map adjustments - even more walkable places - mountains, hills, some tweaks on textures, more enterable buildings, more stuff, new types of trees, etc. Lighting tweaks.
- New characters
- New survival items ( energy tonics to replenish Stamina, meds, etc )

- More civilian weapons
January-February 2013

March 2013

Have fun and thank you for playing The War Z!!!

Patch Notes 28.11.2012:
Creating clans no longer takes GC to create. To create a clan you must have 20hrs of played time. Once you create a clan you will have 20 slots and an additional 20 slots will cost 700GC.
Cleaned up some clan error messages
Fixed lag in the UI from going to the Community Tab
Improved the profanity filter
New females now have the appropriate female sounds
Surivor, Pioneer ( and Legend ) packages are retiring this weekend
This weekend we're going to retire all early purchase options - i.e. you won't be able to purchase Survivor, Pioneer or Legend packages.
There'll be new purchase options for new users, but they will not provide early players recognition status (i.e. forum badges, character unlocks, etc.).
The reason we're doing this is simple - we want to make sure that people who supported us in the beginning will always standout from the crowd. We're modifying our Leaderboards UI to include your account badge - so naturally only people who bought the Survivor, Pioneer or Legend package will have that icon displayed there. New accounts will not have special badges.
We're going to give something special to our existing players as well. On wipe we'll give you $5 to $10 (depending on your package type) worth of GC (as well as resetting the GC that came with your pioneer or legend package), and we'll unlock all characters that are available in the game at launch.
We're discussing right now other ways to reward our early players. So - more good stuff will be coming your way at wipe/release.
Stay tuned.
Na, wer steht jetzt wohl auf dem Gebäude in Boulder City? :P
Welch IronieRelease ist 4 Quartal 2012, für DayZ sowie für WarZ. Steht im WarZ Forum und bei Gamestar. Aber wenn man sich das Spiel so anschaut, dauerts wohl noch 1 Jahr.
