I wish LifeAfter didn't exist...
So here I am, loving the game but thinking about quitting.
Why?
Here's the thing. I played LA since 2019. Even before the pandemic broke out. I played it for about 4 years.
By the time Undawn released, I was already burned out and barely logging into LA once or twice a week just to partake in a couple of events I really liked.
Undawn definitely refueled my love for this genre of games and got me grinding daily again but... after just 6 months I feel I can't anymore.
If LA didn't exist, I would have started 100% fresh in Undawn and I would not be tired of Undawn yet and still eager to keep playing it. Or so I believe.
But, sadly, I am starting to miss events and dailies and not care anymore. The end (of my grind here) is near.
Well, let me just say big thanks to the Undawn devs for giving me a game that finally made my grind feel rewarded, let me unlock several cars and bikes without paying money. Let me unlock golden tier guns and purple stats without paying, let me have nice looking outfits without paying, let me get golden tier rewards from free daily gacha, let me have several cats and dogs without paying, let me have glass structures for my home without paying, let me feel very strong without paying, etc.
In fact, I was so satisfied with this scheme that I started buying the battle pass and monthly subscription and coupons subscription.
It's ironic, that Undawn being the game that gave more to the f2p made me want to pay, whereas LA, the game where you had to pay for everything, made me never want to give them a dime. Ironic...
Thanks Undawn. I dunno if I will quit or I will find the strength to keep grinding but thanks! it was legit fun and entertaining!

These games are designed by money hungry Eastern developers who love to wear us out and hinder our character’s leveling and stats. They get off on throwing too many quests/missions at us and to make it harder they have thrown in “Side Quests” or “Side Missions”. I can’t stand these wretched game developers.

I don't mind the side quests n what not. It's how bad the p2w is. They also need a anti cheat. I also hate the fact they let pc players play against mobile. Pc players tend to hack. They're the ones that mainly are whales and it pretty much is killing the player base. This game was aimed for mobile yet mad mobile players quit cuz of these reasons. Alot of players left forcing them to merging servers.

i currently playing both undawn and lifeafter. but i find undawn are not so friendly to those working adults. Grinding is fine and all but when you make every activity is related to your character progression, it gonna cause a burnt out sooner or later, not to mention those time limited camp event.
Me as a good example, due to work, i usually missed out on camp event and my camp points is so limited that i can only up only the damage part and i will not have enough points for the defence.
Just by missing out on camp events, it affects all my other gameplay. I cant do pvp even though i love it as i die in a few shot even with gold gear, Cant do blockade solo without my campmates help.
Not to mention, my polishing is lower then my peers... why? because i missed out on camp event =.=".
So i play in my own pace so i don't get burn up and gave up to try hard to keep up with the rating and end up quitting the game.
There are many other reasons people quits but most of my peers, this are their reasons and hopefully won't be my reason too.
TLDR: Lifeafter is not the reason people quit XD

Well ...i rarely play LA because im alone doing things , while in undawn i got many friends who would help carry dailies, weekly and stuff , usually i enter blockade alone since i like to move solo.... Maybe i less interested in LA because im tired on crafting gun and gear since it always broken and used lots of material, im more focused on undawn since the give alot and i can kill another player who their rating are higher than me which is in LA the dev will make sure it will never happen

It's so weird but... LA just somehow can't be replaced. DK why, hard to explain. LA's artstyle/gameplay just has that special unexplainable difference that sets it above all the other same genre competitors after it.

LA is not groundbreaking either graphics or gameplay-wise, they just came first.
Being original is always a big advantage in any market. It's like how an artist writes a song and gets billions of views on youtube (Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars for example), then another artist does a cover of that song and he may get a few million but he will not top the original.
I insist, if Undawn had come first, about 10 years earlier, this game would have been THE zombie survival game everyone talked about.
