The H1Z1 map is already that, I thought? Takes about as long to run across as Indar.

Yeah I think they need to add a road/loot to the mountain on both sides cause right now everyone seems to just run around the ring road and not really go into the interior of the map because there is no point.

you can purify dirty water in a lit campfire. just pretend the days of duping are over seeing as queues discourage duping anyways. you now have to figure out food and water gathering on your own. the days of goon illuminati stashing away all the goodies are over.

It's like some people want goon welfare or something.

I actually played for the first time last night. It was on a low pop server and it was great for learning the game. Didn't die in four hours of playing, learned to craft whole bunch of poo poo including a bow with twine which rules, and found a shotgun and shells which I used to kill two randoms. Learned to be self-sufficient with cooking and water purifying tricks. But low-pop is actually closer to no-pop. 2 other players in 4 hours sucks.

1) how do you make a spear?

2) If you shred your pants and your shirt (200 capacity), you should have enough cloth for a bow, a satchel (300 capacity) and a bandage I think. Everything that you spawn with will fit in your fannypack, so that's my new go - to first step.

I have to wonder if a spear would be the ultimate anti-bow weapon. Just sprint around someone stabbing them to death while they try to hit you with the tiny hitbox arrows.

its really good

the only real hard counter to a spear ive come across is a shotgun, lol

pretty much anything else is hard to really accurately use close up, so against a bow user you have a pretty much guaranteed kill unless they run

for any of the other guns its up in the air, which is still pretty good odds considering you are using a spear

Yeah supposedly they have more areas that are going to be dropped in on the edges so the map just keeps going in each direction. Some stuff ingame sort of suggests this with roads going to the edge which dead end at walls.

I just hope that comes with an increase in server sizes. Right now I feel 200 players is sometimes too few, particularly because servers aren't always full. I can't imagine that being fun with an even bigger map.


Atheist Sunglasses posted:

Just break the window first. I usually just punch it. Sucks when you're trying to kill someone behind a window but at least you can shoot it then kill them.


Eonwe posted:

yes you can, but those areas are typically very high traffic and will be noticed

they'll just chop down whatever door you use or glitch into it

still, I actually like the idea of finding a set of closely built houses outside of a town and building with it as part of the wall, would make shooting & defending a lot more interesting if they stop people from being able to clip through walls

Near goontana there's two houses with a well in between them. They're surrounded by a fortified wall, and the only entrance is a drive away setup to create a choke point. That was one of the first non-town notable areas I found, and I've always wanted to build a base there.

The idea of goons forgoing modern weapons and being a primitive tribe of bow and spear users ala the cannibals from The Forest sounds amazing. Survivor outposts tell tales of horrifying attacks at night signaled by the sound of a conch

Hopefully rocks become a resource you can pick up and use for things like makeshift spears and hatchets instead of scrap metal, which is pretty tough to get under normal circumstances.

Cars can spawn scrap metal when you search them.

They probably just need to turn up the container respawn rate a bit.

Depends on if they have armor on or not. Last night on our goon raid some of us got one shot by a hacker who was no clipping and invisible with a hatchet.

At least until they add that recipe for taping torches to a spear with duct tape, which I haven't seen anywhere.
