Let's not be hasty. Running around doing the Donald Duck could have advantages. Easy FoF ID.

... and that is when the dean suggested I stop drinking before classes.

Yeah I don't bother tearing up my pants to make a satchel. I tear up my shirt to make a bow but wait until I find enough cloth to make a satchel or I'll find a satchel/backpack.

Im back in, there updating servers as we speak to fix loot spawns. I found out my main issue with seeing my menus only effected those with sli if you disable it they would magically show up. I posted about it in steam forum and it was magically fixed in 4 hours.

Loot seems a lot better overall from what I have seen. Actually have been finding things in my travels. Hope the improvements continue.

the loot is broke, it only spawns when the server restarts/crashes, so unless you are looking for goggles you sol.

 

It was ok for a day or two. Now it's fucking googles and berries, nothing else.

That patch is to fix duping and the respawn glitch, it will probably break cars or blackberries.

Yeah cause they restarted the servers so it had fresh loot but it only took a few days for everyone to go through it.

Also I ran into another possible glitch when I got into combat with a shotgun I unloaded on a guy and i was running around shooting him and I somehow glitched into a corner and he was able to beat me to death with a hammer.

Unless he was another hacker but I also noticed you freeze in place when drawing your bow.

i think ill pass

i have seen people take a while to register hits, we ran a guy over, then got out and shot him, he killed one of the guys in our group then dropped dead.

about 5 minutes later a guy pulls up in a truck and freezes me and shots me with a shotgun, i had my rifle out and was stuck for about 3 seconds till he killed me.
that's the second time i have had that happen to me, not sure if its a glitch or hack but the 1st time i was on a roof, dude runs across the street and now im stuck, he walked closer and shot me to death.

i wonder how soe is gonna admin the servers?
rust had people that owned the servers and every one played on servers with active admins, if someone is cheating they got banned, we would ban all their friends on steam
i hope soe is not planing on vac, those ban waves take months.

I really love the atmosphere of the game and what they've done so far. But I'm still a bit angry at SOE for what they did to SOE and the SOE presidents remarks about it last year in conjunction with his remarks about H1Z1 show me that they still don't understand why people were upset with them. So I have some concerns that when this is released, SOE will do the same thing they did with SWG and start making sweeping game changes based on the wishes of the FSA players (for lack of a better term) rather then the core long term players.

I guarantee they'll carebear it up.  People will be crying about PKing, losing their l33t AR, etc.  Its happened in every game Ive played going back to UO.  Its either "omg its a gankfest-Ooo OoOooO " or "omgz I need welfare epix!!1!"

And Sony has yet to demonstrate that they know how to manage a mmorpg.  SWG was brilliant in concept, design and even delivery.  But they mismanage the shit out of it from the beginning culminating with NGE.  

All that being said, I am having fun playing H1Z1.  Its too much fun hunting other players.

Fucking Trammel ruined that game.

This was Smedley talking about H1Z1. Anyone that thinks that H1Z1 is going to draw in the former SWG players is smoking crack. I give it 6 months after release before the H1Z1 'NGE' hits. Lightsabers for all the zombies.

LOL truth.

I remember reading a couple of articles from Koster and Smedley and they both said pretty much the same thing--that they should have launched Space at the same time as SWG and then just spend a full year on polish and combat.

I still get pissed off thinking about how awesome that game was and what could have been.  Im not much of a crafter but there has never been another crafting system that even approaches what SWG had to offer.  It really mimicked real life in that if someone just slapped together a blaster with cheap components, you ended up with a HiPoint.  But if someone took the time to search out the absolute best raw materials (across multiple planets on random spawns) and tossed aside the non-critical successes during assembly, then you truly had what basically was a LaRue or Knights rifle.  

There was a guy on my server (Bloodfin) named NoTig and he had waiting lists for his weapons.  They were the cream of the crop on the server.

Fun times.

lol I still remember Sunsword or Toad (devs) getting super pissed when everyone called Trammel a 'mirror'.  ITS NOT A $%&#@ING MIRROR!!!

The lack of available loot makes this game not fun.

I picked a low population server just to up the loot amount and after 2 hours of gameplay the only loot I had found was one first aid kit and two bottles of water...

Shoot a deer?  Can't loot anything from it.  Maybe you need a knife?  Which brings me to my next point.. why the fuck don't they spawn you with a utility knife if that's the case?

edit:  Also the game runs like shit on my laptop.  Even with everything turned all the way down it still has a hint of lag.  It won't let me adjust the draw distance though and I think if I had it all turned down and shaved a few hundred meters off of the draw distance it would make a huge difference.

Blackberries til the sever crashes and you can get a knife or machete.

Once they get loot , duping, and respawn ing fixed the game will be great.
I'm kinda suprised they have not scheduled reboots to keep loot going.

And once the map is at least 4 times bigger

They've got a good idea going but as of right now it's simply unplayable.  Maybe if I had a group of guys to play with it might add enough to make it worth logging in but going solo is just boring.

It would be kind of neat if they had server options that automatically threw you in with a group of people.  Small faction warfare in a post apocalyptic, zombie infested map is what I really love about games like this.  Also the slight lag makes combat extremely frustrating but I'm hoping they clean that up a bit.  My laptop isn't exactly top end but it's no slouch either.  Again, though, if it would allow me to adjust the draw distance slightly this could improve this greatly.  Even with everything turned on very low the game still looks better than it needs to so there is plenty of room to go down from there, plus who knows how much of this is inefficient coding(I would guess this isn't the case as i'm assuming they built this with a pre-existing game engine?).

 








 

Loot has definately been fixed. But expect another patch soon because there's now too much loot. I hit a campsite and by the time I circled the camp and looted everything, they loot where I started was respawned.  Found a table spawning 6 rounds of .45 ammo nonstop.

 

Another 2-hour patch period:

The latest patch has fixed all the loot issues, and they did some mods to the base construction so you cant block off all the best loot spawns. Other than that its getting there were building a base on misty dam on deadlands server if anyone wants to join the heard.

Are you on the arfcom TS or another one. Solo running is fun but I want to try the group base thing. Pm me the TS if you want it private.

There's a couple of us on another TS that run on Dreadlands. We should probably get in touch. Pm me the TS info you use, if you want to.

It's the arfcom TS that I use sometimes. It's not my info to give out. I'm just a guest there

 

There's half a dozen 'Arfcom' TS server.

The world of tanks one

 

Would be interested in joining you guys on dreadlands, can some one pm me the comms info?

Ditto.



 

There appears to be 3 or 4 groups on Dreadlands, all on different TS. Send a Steam friend request to Slick556. I'll put you guys in touch with whoever is playing tonight.

Our base is on the dam on the section of warehouses that only have 1 entrance to it. Message or add UnifiedREIGN on steam if you wanna join up and ill im ts info.

Requests sent to you and Slick

 

We never did theres a group of assholes running around 6 deep blowing up everyones base with ied's.

Until they crack down hard on duping and institute some of the group.friend functions, I really don't see myself spending much time playing. It gets old real quick feeling like you're in the only group on the map that doesn't have a ar15 and 308 rifle with a couple thousand rounds per player.

 

thats what ive been waiting for

From http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/2ut8b2/server_wipe_coming_25/:

Are we going to stick to the same server?

Update notes are up. More materials needed for construction, building stuff takes up more space and smaller backpacks.

Sitting will cancel auto-run.
Fixed a bug where players can interrupt equip actions too quickly.
Fixed an issue where ammo count could become incorrect if you interrupt a reload action.
Objects making noise above or below you in a multi-story building will now be properly attenuated.
Added slight zoom to all guns and bows in Iron Sight mode.
Lowered sway on .308 rifle while in scoped mode.
Fixed an issue with hydration burning too fast when stamina was full.
Fixed a bug that would occasionally cause oddities on SLI setups
Dropping an item from a world container places it at the players feet instead of the world container origin. The latter would hide it in the world container model.
Vehicle stability adjustments – angular damping, moment of inertia, center of mass, tire friction and steering range tuning on the OffRoader, PickupTruck and PoliceCar.
Working on getting the vehicles to be more stable and less likely to abruptly roll or flip (this will still be possible on rocks, rough terrain, and player placed objects) but trying to make them more fun and survivable.
Fixed /respawn on PvE servers.
Fixed self-damage on PvE servers; the players may be the source of damage to themselves without mitigation.
Made players names reusable across servers. Names on each server must still be unique.
Battle Royale: Cleaned up gas after matches.
Battle Royale: gas damage reduced.
Fixed certain points of interest not getting reported when players entered.
Limited players to one character per server.

Patching and wipe are complete.  Time to start from a clean slate.

Ran into a group by the dam that said they got into a gun fight earlier and then they headed off towards pleasant valley (and said they knew someone from here), If anyone wants to link up I am usually on in the evenings central time, same user name MustangPwr which is my steam name too. No gun yet but I was only on for an hour, headed towards cranberry then going to leapfrog back by the wilderness camp and over the mountains.


Add Edit:

I found this map that is pretty good with road names and spawn points for vehicles
