(Pt. III)...but it's all water under the bridge now, isn't it? water that is rising up and will soon wash the bridge away once and for all. You had a voter system and a test server, but you didn't listen to the voters and the difference between the test server and any other ZP server was non existent. Most of us long-term players saw this coming. We told you it was coming. Well, TRIED to tell you, anyway. I just wonder if/when ZP will be gone from the ZP main server also. (and when Kongregate says "ZP is gone by may 31, they don't mean gone ON may 31st, they mean BEFORE may 31st. remember Bigpoint games saying something similar?
you had potential, ZP. Too bad you didn't let us players help you become successful. oh well. There is always Mutant Badlands, right?!? hahahahahaahahaaha......
see ya in the funny papers-
(Pt II)...Or maybe PP could have introduced a player trading system that we've been hearing about from the very beginning. But No. Instead, "durability" is brought in. which just meant all loot you find is half as good as it was. But you could mix and match your outfit, though. As long as you didn't want anything actually "armor"-like. "I know! you know the armor options we have in the game? like the Armored Wanderer gear or Armored Defender or Armored Juggernaut gear? Let's take 75%-85% of that OUT OF THE GAME! Yeah! that is a real "forward move" in developing a good mmo game! The armor AND weapons (remember the boomstick?)that made the game interesting in the first place just POOF! disappeared.
or new missions. Or clan roles like "builder" that don't work. Clan leaders have no control over safehouse building and placement....
so it seems ZP (and from the sound of it, Pixel Pandemic altogether) is folding. First, Bigpoint Games drops ZP. Then Paypal and ZP stop collaborating. Now Kongregate and ZP are folding. What had the potential to be a very good (and profitable) game is following the Dodo and the Thylacine into the abyss. So many players were into ZP, and so many players became quickly frustrated with ZP. The average length of time a player would play ZP until they got bored/frustrated/quit was around 2-4 weeks (and that is a liberal estimate).
Maybe if there were a way for clan members to communicate (But there IS a chat on the main server! - ridiculous. so many glitches in just the chat alone made it impossible to use. Same with the "instant Messaging" on ZP. It never worked at all. ...(to be cont.)
"News
Unfortunately, Zombie Pandemic will be shutting down on May 31, 2015. Until then, you will be able to keep playing but will no longer be able to make purchases. "
who didn't see THAT coming?!
so what happened to the chat and high scores? ever since ZP changed to the horrible new UI, the chat seems awfully empty and the high scores have yet to be updated...also, what's up with the lag in typing with Kongregate? i have to t-y-p-e- r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y for it to register each letter i type...
hate the new interface we are fored to use...(isn't this just the test server?!)....way too many bugs for me to warrant wasting any more time on. i'll continue to play if the old interface is brought back, but until then, see ya.,..
