Why new players don't play Warz, from an outsider's perspective.

Okay, I'm going to list some things to help.
The headshot multiplier is x2 the amount of damage (per pellet/snowball), if you're wondering how you died so easily by a Barrett, Here is the damage stat from the Wiki page.
Damage: 150 (300 for crit).
Now think about this for a second, you have iron armor, reducing 60% of incoming damage. 60 damage taken from base Barrett shot, 120 from a headshot (insta-kill).
Not sure if it's possible to change the multiplier down.

And yes, swords are almost useless but at least they help negate more damage if you block with it!
WarZ is hella not noob friendly but that's how it was coded and formed into the way WarZ is now by the community.

 

You can make the sword avoid armor or increase the damage output.

 

THATS THE **** WHOLE POINT OF A BARRET!!! IF IT DIDNT ONE SHOT PEOPLE WOULD USE AWP SPAS!!! AND THEN THEY WOULDNT DONATE UNLESS THEY WANTED TO TP CUZ AWP SPAS IS EZ TO FIND

 

For a more easier way of understanding this. Not hatin' c:
The AWP (Tier II) Spas-12 (Tier IV) and are generally easy to find and do considerable amounts of damage.
Both weapons are great if you can "combo" with them and get headshots.

 

It's the point of the game. Higher you get, the better the loot is. The goal is to survive, that's what we do.

From what I know, they don't plan on changing anything MAJOR on WarZ anytime soon, due to new gamemodes coming out in the future.

Before I begin just be aware that what I am going to say is my opinion. Whether you agree with me or not is up to you.

1. Headshots are annoying, but it is a nice bonus for those with good accuracy. If you are a new player with tier 3 guns and die instantly to a barrett headshot, it teaches them to be more careful. They now know they have to be more aware. The head shot multiplier isn't too bad in my opinion. I feel it really should one shot to the head, it's more similar to shooter games, and more realistic.
2. Tier 4 guns are very good, but not as amazing as we think. A barrett undeniably does a lot of damage, but it wont even one shot a 1/4 iron if it is not a headshot. It is also part of the struggle, and fun to challenge yourself with lower tier weapons. Ask yourself what feels like a better kill. Easily killing a 3/4, or, struggling to kill a 3/4 because you have only tier 3 weapons, and you win because you are a better player. It feels much more rewarding, and adds more of a challenge.
3. They seem like they have amazing hip fire accuracy, but more often than not you miss your hip fire shots with the barrett. I will admit, it has better hip fire accuracy than it should, but because of this it makes it more skill oriented, not luck based. If you win a fight just because you got lucky with a barrett shot, it will aggravate people, and it does now even with decent hip fire accuracy.
4. Swords are valuable to people with guns, as they can be used to block grenades and negate much of the damage. However, I do like the idea of putting more damage on some of the swords, maybe making them into a possibly useful weapon.
5. Teams are not really anything to worry about for a new player. A new player is unlikely to have many people to play with, most don't ever play with 5 or more other people. Also, splitting a team into two different teams makes it so that you cannot track enemies, which is often even more deadly than the friendly fire.

 

From a sniper rifle you probably would die in one shot. Most of the rifles in the game would be classified as anti aircraft weaponry, which is capable of blowing of your whole arm if you were if be shot in the hand. So if you were to be shot in the head, despite the helmet, I believe we would still die.

To be more on topic, I see where you are coming from, and your opinions are understandable despite me disagreeing with some
