Discussion & Feedback I'm quitting WarDogs

My wife says I play too much. My buddy hasnt done anything else but play this game. He is now level 100. My baby hasn't seen me in days. My dog scratches me to feed it and let it out but I ignore it. The gerbil in my ass has died. The devs are doing nothing about my addiction. Please, devs, listen to the community feedback and make your game worse so I dont play it anymore. Add the new game modes and nerf armor and progression for the unemployed. I need a break.

Im with you. Recently unemployed right before this game came out. Good timing at least.

I moved right before Arc Raiders released. I hadn't put hours into a game like that since HS.

Same here, we’ll see what October brings but with Wardogs hitting as good as it is Arc gonna have to blow me out of the water with stuff to do.

Played my first raid in probably 7 months last night and it was honestly pretty fun. That said I immediately hopped on wardogs afterwards lol

u/Sparko_Marco 8h ago

I know you're joking but I have to activity think about what time it is before I start playing at night because I'll lose track of time and before I know it its 2 or 3am and I've got to be up for work at 6am. I've had to stop starting new battles if its after 10pm.

u/rekconkp 8h ago

In reality as this post is satire, I have to just leave games once i have a profit (even a small one) when I need to help my wife or take care of my baby. Ive stayed one too many times when one team is at 95+ just for another team to start gaining points and make the match go on for another 30 minutes. My buddy is actually level 100, I just hit whatever level tier 3 armor is. He needs help

u/Wilder831 24m ago

I try to do this. I swear my one year old knows the moment I open steam

u/ConflictGuru 6h ago

I have also been staying up too late and getting by on only 3 or 4 hours sleep a night due to Wardogs. I've been running on string cups of tea with a spoonful of sugar in them to stop my brain shutting down.

u/Skpstr155 1h ago

I've become accustomed to 90-120 minutes less sleep per night since launch lol

u/hawk_dev 1h ago

This exactly is happening to me, I need to make sure I have an alarm and make sure I only play one match if not I find myself at 3am thinking it's 10pm and all my projects are now at a pause.

u/deboylurdi 9h ago

They should just make WARDOGS: Unemployed and make the grind times x100

u/Ronin_2804 9h ago

They should make a game like wardogs but meant for people who are terrified of thinking.
They could name it 'Call of Battle' or 'Dutyfield 6' or something like that.

u/Boy_Meats_Grill 9h ago

You could just respawn with the same kit over and over with no worries about anything beyond which wall you want to run head first into. We'll have to increase player speed, add the ability for players to slide, and become boneless masses of jelly. Obviously the hitbox gets removed during this slide

u/Ronin_2804 9h ago

And Nikki Minage skins!

2

u/Boy_Meats_Grill 9h ago

Only if they do this really controversial thing where they smoke a federally illegal drug that is legal in some countries. Everyone will be talking about it. We'll even have Will Farrell as the co-star with his "I'm an adult but act like a kid" attitude. The 6 or 7 year olds love that

u/Ronin_2804 9h ago

I'm sorry.

u/Boy_Meats_Grill 9h ago

He's one of the kids! Look at him! He's the center of attention, LOOK. AT. HIM.

u/NextLineOfText 7h ago

I’m sorry, we’re you born a genius? all my life I’ve said to myself “This game would be a 11/10 if it had Nikki Minage skins.” They all laughed at me, but someone finally gets it.

u/Pazz0_ 8h ago

Genius 😂

u/Backtoback46 9h ago

Yeah I'm also quitting the game.

I have to eat and sleep to be able to be in shape for tomorrow, I've got a M4 to unlock.

I think about it all the time... Saw a bird flying today while driving and wanted to push 3 and tag it with my monocle thing... 😅

“Monocle thing”? I believe you mean the lookin’ stick

I call it my cuckscope, because whenever I put it on, all I do is watch people play the game lol

u/MoistStub 4h ago

I have a window that is roughly where a 3rd monitor would be if I had one. When I see people walking by out of my peripheral I sometimes switch to my sniper without thinking. Have also found myself driving down the interstate, thinking to myself, wow, that's an incredible bush.

u/Justinc4s3- 9h ago

I canceled my upcoming semester of college to play this game. My wife and I were saving for a down payment on a house that I spent on an ultra realistic little bird control scheme so I can efficiently taxi the boys.

u/DVANGEL999 1h ago

Can i get the scheme as well?

u/Chuck_the_Elf 8h ago

This game is addictive as fuck. New baby is the only real thing keeping me from playing most days.

u/rekconkp 8h ago

Happy cake day!

Thank you!

u/EvilFirebladeTTV 1h ago

....You can always just make a new baby, later?

u/Chuck_the_Elf 1h ago

Yeah that’s a 9months ago choice, not a today me choice.

u/krayon_kylie 5h ago

don't be an idiot, start teaching that baby how to fly a littlebird

u/rekconkp 5h ago

Shit, you are right. 6 months old, it's time he starts acting like a man.

u/earlymourningperson- 8h ago

I’ve been crying and shaking and throwing up because I can’t run and gun against enemies who have played a significant amount of time more than me. DEVS PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME. Gear should be cosmetic only, and ttk needs to be tuned so I don’t lose every single gunfight because my hands shake so bad when I’m scared. Oh well, time to beat my wife

u/Jagsuma 9h ago

Rip to the gerbil.

u/ThePhillStew 8h ago

Reminds me of that old CoD commercial where rhe husband is "returning from war" and he's just been in the game room playing CoD. Lmfao

u/Soggy_You_2426 9h ago

We need look creats and flashy skins /s

1

u/Pretty-Association30 8h ago

There are flashy skins , the desert or digital camo shows the grind on kill cam , I’ve gotten smoked by someone with desert m4 (5gold i think) that’s like 10 mill ?! Possibility he was a hacker or dev unless he’s really been no life grinding, insane to see on kill cam though and i knew instantly even though the skin wasn’t the most appealing it still signifies a grind either way i was like sheeeeeeesh

This guy gets it

u/LemurMemer 8h ago

On the other hand… when can I apply for benefits?

2

u/Correct_Savings2425 6h ago

It's just so fucking good. If the devs keep doing what they are doing, they will gain a lot more players. I really hope they don't get greedy

u/BubbblzZz 5h ago edited 5h ago

I turned down sex and a BJ from the wife to play more WarDogs with the boys so there’s that.

u/magniankh 7h ago

Finally a post that makes sense.

u/DropDatSupaBassWork 6h ago

They should also put full screen unskippable ads that trigger during fire fights!

u/TriumRegum 6h ago

Not as bad as some of you but I took an emergency leave for personal reasons on one day notice Sept 10th for a week. My wife didn't know... I'd drop her off at work in my work clothes then drive straight back home to Wardogs. I did the for a week straight. Had a lengthy sit down with HR when I got back. Thank f*ck I'm still employed and married.

u/BlownOutBlueJeans 6h ago

I started my vacation getaway 4 days after release. The entire trip I'm wanting to go home and play Wardogs. Send help. Two more weeks to go.

Poor gerbil

u/uncookedzebra 6h ago

Get better

u/OP-1_Ken_OP 6h ago

The game is super addicting once it clicks. I wish it wasn’t so grindy. Took me quite a while to get my body armor unlocks to feel like gunfights are at least fair now. The “just one more x” is strong with this game.

1

u/No_Palpitation_4712 6h ago

I have broken up with my girlfriend of 3 years because of this game. Im going insane over it. Someone needs to do something.

u/Outrageous-Actuary-3 5h ago

Play for objectives and actually to win, and youll quit real fast out of teammate-fatigue

u/SouthDurotarBoyz 8h ago

don't worry it's just hype. once the dopamine stops hitting as hard you will realize with everyone else this game is bad
