https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ko5AXctkIE Some trailer for the game. First half is dumb, second half is fun. I have no idea if any of what they show is actually in EA, though, so take what you see with a huge spoonful of salt. Just grab the whole loving shaker, really.

Anyone here going to be streaming their first time playing? I'd like to see a beginner's perspective when the game opens up before I consider buying.

Hopefully there isn't a limit on how many walls one person can build, so we can do stupid things like surrounding a town with walls and making naked newbies fight to the death gladiator style. The start of the goon factioning. These two groups vs. the Rust and Goku goons!

Ahhhh, I remember the old naked rock fighting arena in Rust. It was almost as fun as the roving Jeopardy gangs.

Republicanus posted:I hope they're not stopping at the old boring "bear, mountain lion, squirrel" classic North American trio of forest animals. I heard they have also added reanimated dead people controlled by AI called "zombies", they sound pretty neat-o. Also if you're not interested in playing a Battle Royale style gamemode the $40 package seems useless as that's the only real thing you're getting much extra of for your money, event tickets. And supposedly, that's all they're for, they let you play a round in an event server, the only one which has been mentioned so far is the Battle Royale type gamemode. If it included in-game dollars for micro-transactions I'd probably see the worth, but otherwise meh. LuciferMorningstar posted:Release pushed back (again) to 1pm PST. Reddit is real mad: "Really, a 2 hour notice on this delay? Some people took off work today. Stick to your word, you're about to lose another customer." If you want to make your empty threat realistic you probably shouldn't sperg out and post on Reddit about how excited you are for a month, then threaten to not buy the game because it's coming out an hour later than you expected. Also that person should acquire a better work ethic. Dvsilverwing fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jan 15, 2015 |

Atheist Sunglasses posted:Can somebody clue me in on the "does this game have fishing" thing? It basically caused a divide between "Goons who will grief pubbies and PVP under any circumstances", and "Goons who scream to the point of distorting their microphone about how ruining fishing is destroying their game." It was the classic PVP vs PVE ideology at work in an MMO. Although the drama has been put to bed, and friendships reforged, the meme remains. Also yes, fishing is a major way to get food in this game.

The game needs to be launched comfortably at 6pm EST, as all goons who went to work come home, sit down after making a nice pot of coffee and a quick 15 minutes on the elliptical, as try hards who stayed home are stewing in regret and lamentation.

I'm really hoping the old WarZ crew gets back together (Jimmy I know you're out there reading this, baby, come home please), especially that dude who had a complete meltdown after he got sniped and ragequit the game immediately thereafter. We all heard him screaming and ranting about it while he played BF3 thanks to his 12-year old brother hot-mic'ing in Mumble and treating us to the entire sordid drama. Really looking forward to that and other things again.

I remember setting up a trading post in WarZ with a bunch of goons and trying to get pubbies to play along. It inevitably got hosed up by a hacker/server hoppers, but it'd be really fun if we could get something like that going in H1Z1. I really regret purchasing the DayZ standalone though, so I'm going to wait around and check out some more impressions of the game before diving in.

As bad as these survival games are, they're some of the most fun I've had gaming. I can't wait to grief some pubs. If the game has hacking under control, that will be enough to hook me.

Use Shadowplay if you've got an Nvidia card. It's probably sub-optimal, but it's pretty easy to set up.

Some Planetside dataminer has started in on H1Z1: http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/2sjxmx/datamining_list_of_locale_strings_may_contain/ Snare, explosive, and shotgun traps sound like excellent trolling opportunities.

"4 to 6 weeks until early access". What's a couple more hours, it's already 7 months late.
