I've actually been fairly interested in this game. It can probably give DayZ a run for its money.

I'll wait for some more reviews and gameplay videos.  I'm done with "early access" and alpha / beta testing.

Tag for input.

Back in October I would have been all over it.  Kinda cooled on it at this point.  Maybe if people here have great things to say about it I'll give it a shot.

I originally wanted to get Day Z until SOE announce H1Z1.  4hrs until steam release and it'll be a long night.

Don't get your hopes up too high for a lot of play time today.  Launches are usually beset by crashing/slow login servers, crashing/slow game servers, and crashing clients.  In fact, you should count yourself lucky if you get to play at all today.

I'll probably pick it up after a couple days. The rush is going to be huge and I can do without the frustration.
I'm burned out on DayZ. 600+ hours of solo play, KOS, and boredom has taken it's toll.

What server ruleset are people going for?

I'm leaning toward a PvP ruleset with standard zombies. The "head shot only" zombies are going to be way OP, from what I've read.

Sony. Check

Early Access they want money for. Check

Free to Play (eventually). Check

Is it ported to consoles too? If so, these 4 things are the epitome of things that are wrong with PC games.


From everything I've seen its something like DayZ v 1.45. I can only expect from the way its setup, itll have roughly the same gameplay where the majority of people thinking camping areas to kill other players is the content. Besides that, free to play games usually attract the usual game locusts, that show up, do whatever it is you have to do for 2 weeks, and then move on to destroy the next new game or be bored and just try to hack/fuck up anything they possibly can.

I'm definitely waiting this one out.


ETA - Serious question. The main thing DayZ lacked, and eventually made boring, was the lack of any real purpose other than to survive. Is there an actual purpose to this, i.e. character advancement, some sort of quests, some sort of end goals?

I think this steam reviewer sums up this game nicely:

"We will NOT be selling Guns, Ammo, Food, Water... i.e. That's kind of the whole game and it would suck in our opinion if we did that."

"8) We have made the decision to allow paid for airdrops into the game with things like guns and other things being randomly selected as part of the airdrop. We’re making them highly contested and building a whole set of rules around this, but you should be aware that our goal is to make this a way to keep things interesting on the servers but still be contested. If these offend your sensibilities just know that they are going to be there. We have gone out of our way to make sure the airdrops are contested in-game and that you can’t simply expect to easily walk about to the airdrop and grab it. Even if you paid for it. "

The truth we cannot change, Unified. This overly hyped, under-delivering dumpster fire of a game is a disappointment.

On the contrary, direct from John Smedley.

UPDATE: Apology From Smedley (President of SOE) on Reddit

The following are 2 quotes he made regarding the P2W issue, link to the reddit page below:



"we're making adjustments to the airdrops that are appropriate. So yes, we believe in the feature. We also agree it needs work so it's not P2W because I saw the same streams you guys did last night and without these changes i think it's fair to call it P2W."



"thanks for writing this. This is exactly my own personal experience but I did see some times when it was straight up P2W yesterday and we're fixing that completely. It wasn't intentional.. just not everything works the way we intend at first."



http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/2snhud/no_questions_asked_refund_policy/
You may have felt lied to, but at least everyone, including SOE, are now all on the same page in admitting that the current EA build of H1Z1 is P2W. And no one, including SOE, likes it.

waited for the community reaction to it instead of just blindly purchasing it... the pay to win airdrop shit is bs (yah i know they already addressed that they are fixing it and limiting gun drops to 2 out of every 10 drops) but its still retarded after smedley said the microtransactions were going to be for appearance items which is what good microtransactions should be. but then bam, air drops giving guns and shit during a supposed 'zombie apocalypse' yawn.  the other part of the bullshit is if i am spending money for an airdrop, i want to guarantee i get my stuff since i paid for it, but you don't, the plane is slow and loud making everyone know theres gonna be an airdrop and they can straight up steal it from you.... thus making the game turn into roving groups of players that just go around trying to steal airdrops.
they are offering refunds until i think monday for anyone feeling bamboozled.





theres 5 or 6 guys on my steam that bought it right away and they are constantly relaunching the game (the steam popup that they are 'now playing h1z1' keeps coming up) must be crashing like crazy.

To be fair, Smedley said 8 months ago that air drops would drop weapons and ammo. They said there would be no direct purchasable weapons, like buy a gun and it magically appears in your inventory, but air drops were always going to drop rare items.

It's in the Early Access FAQ with an explanation that ADs may contain weapons and require tickets to purchase them.  People seem to forget that it's a f*cking Early Access and how are you going to test something if it's not in the game.  I hate this EA/kickstarter gaming era and truly miss when companies pre-screened testers for Alphas and Betas.  Also if you're dropping $$$ at this point of the EA, you're a moron because wipes can happen at anytime.  My best advice for the "dupped" players is A. Kill yourself and collect the insurance or B. Ask for a refund that's being offered.

Server patches going out to increase they loot respawn rate and reduce the hunger/thirst decline rates.  Props to SOE for listening to the community and implementing changes quickly.  There have already been several patches/tweaks and the game is barely 50 hours post-release.

Eventually people will understand the difference between the air drops, which they've said will have weapons since at least August, and the direct to inventory crates which won't have weapons.

Been messing around on the Pandemic server a bit and have been having quite a bit of fun. Making a living out in the woods in a remote cabin isn't all that bad. The game does have potential and I am really liking the crafting aspect in the game as well.

Do any of you want to start up a good ol' Arfcom group on a server somewhere? The hermit life of berries and venison isn't too bad, but it would be nice to be in a group.
