I have run into exactly one hacker on Ground Zero, it's been pretty okay. Then again, I only go into the cities in groups.

Fertilizer, sugar and a cloth makes a smoke flare. Drop a bandage, which looks like a loot bag. Scope the poor pub that goes to pick it up. Voila, renewable ammo source. Edit: Oh, if you spawn near the southeast of the map, there's a set pistol and ammo spawn at x-2950 z2450. I keep spawning around there, it's very useful.

The servers are still down for the patch. They were supposed to be back up at 6am PST. Hopefully it fixes the game crashing whenever you die.

I've gotten disconnected from killing someone else, in the southeast church. Couldn't even drop a slick line on them. Terrible. Edit: No patch notes. Just "Server stability". IE - Unfucking the last patch. Edit edit: Now crashes are more frequent not less

They are paying attention to the crashes. They don't have anyone ready to work on them due to a very uncomfortable reconstruction, or just aren't doing so in what I'd call an acceptable window when taking cash for the game, but they want you to know they are paying attention.

My thoughts after playing a while: 1. Crafting is a joke. Why even have crafting in the game unless you can develop and manufacture more substantial items? This game is very much like the board game Robinson Crusoe, which allows your to 'craft' items like 'a rope' and 'a shovel.' While this is true to the survival concept, it is incredibly boring. In some ways, this game is like a shittier minecraft (if that is possible) while incorporating the 'run for 20 minutes' of Everquest 1. This game triggers memories of running across the Karanas and seeing not a single loving spawn forever. 2. Zombies are pointless in this game. I killed 14 zombies and got 1 lighter and 2 scraps of cloth. It's a zombie game and they have no place in the game currently. 3. Combat is bad. Like really bad. I've tested the game and shot someone in the head at point blank range with a .45 and they didn't take any damage. 4. Hacking can be egregious (fly around the map invisible) or subtle, so testing is annoying. Hacks can be simple as "gain 200% health" or "disallow headshots" so you never know if you just got poo poo on by a hacker or by someone decent. 5. There is absolutely no reason to play anything but Battle Royale, in my opinion. Want to run around for hours and not find any bullets or anything? You'll love PVP servers. I realize that there is a crop of dudes who have 200+ hours logged in the game who run around with shotguns killing recently spawned dudes with a bow and 4 arrows who think there is no problem, but there is. Survival concept doesn't mean you should feel playing the game is a struggle to survive your boredom. 6. Battle Royale is decent in concept and in fact is the only reason to play this game, but suffers from many problems. First, combat sucks, as previously mentioned. Second, you can win by never fighting and you often get dropped far from the first and subsequent poison safety areas, causing you to run for days unless you get a car. The games where you kill 2-3+ people don't justify the games where you see hardly anyone. 7. Little things make the game totally obnoxious and don't get fixed fast enough. Eating/drinking needs a massive overhaul. "Hope you like unbundling items and dropping your flashlight every single time a Battle Royale starts, fuckers." Leaving a car changes you back to first person perspective (gently caress this). Sometimes guns lock so you can't scope out to shoot unless you fire a shot or some other action. Sometimes you get locked into a crouch. Standing close to objects puts you in a 'happy feet' mode where you continually make noise. Every object in the game clips horribly- Agro a wolf and it will run through a house door to kill you or stand too close to a house wall and you can be seen on the other side. Testing Battle Royale with broken queues and crashes is one thing, but getting into a match and being dropped into the map instead of the holding area so that you have to exit and restart the game is just amateur hour. 8.The worst thing about this game right now are the 'roleplayers' who insist that the occasional 'guy operating a store' or 'sacrifice at the church' scenarios some nerds put together justify this terrible sandbox game's existence. If the game were good, you could still roleplay. In Short: H1Z1 is a zombie game that doesn't involve zombies. H1Z1 is a survival game where unless you play A LOT and have friends, it's tedious at best to acquire goods and participate in combat. It is a combat game with bad combat. In short, it's 1/10th a game, and most of what is missing is the fun. "It's Alpha!" yes, true, but this game is FAR from beta. Like, a hundred miles away.

Ozmiander posted:You are all the type of person who shouldn't be buying early access games. I am exactly the type of person to buy early access games because I try to see past the obvious limitations of it being 'early release' toward what the game hopes to achieve. I can differentiate between minor annoyances and a lack of vision. This game claims to one day be a premiere zombie survival game, but it's earliest stages are completely at odds with this vision. Even horrible early access games (i.e. Horizons, Age of Conan etc.) settled on a core of the game and ignored the higher end content so that players could see the direction the game would take. This game's direction is as follows: Free to play with limited support. It's just obvious. I think my perspective would be different if they had even tried to make Zombies relevant, tried to develop a strategy to reduce the boredom of running around an empty world and tried to be different than other games that are already on the market. To me the game is being marketed to two groups of people: 1. People who like sandbox games that don't provide much content but instead require players to do the work for them 2. First person shooter players who aren't very good at those games Shammypants fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Mar 7, 2015 |

Ozmiander posted:You are all the type of person who shouldn't be buying early access games. H1Z1 barely qualifies as a game at this point. It's clear it was rushed to market to recoup some costs in the face of possibly being shutdown or reorganized with the Russian mafia buyout of their company. They needed another 6 months of development before they released this to early access, as it stands now it's a broken hacker-infested shell of an idea that doesn't do anything right really. I'm tired of game companies using the term "sandbox" to make up for their lack of a game. It's one thing to give the players the freedom to make their own fun in a game, but H1Z1 doesn't even give you the tools to do so.

Zorro KingOfEngland posted:Does Early Access Alpha mean something different where you're from? You're complaining about getting the exact product they advertised to you. It should mean more than "this game gets a pass in regards to every single possible point of criticism." There are very few if any redeeming qualities of this game. Everything that can be considered good also has a corresponding negative that outweighs it (such as voice comms showing players are nearby, but often voicecomms are bugged and the announcement stays on after someone is done talking or the announcements of multiple players speaking don't show simultaneously). The fact is, an Alpha stage of a game should provide an idea of how the key elements of the game will pan out. This game does not do that. Every single thing in this game is massively underdeveloped or simply is an afterthought, when in theory they should be fundamental elements of the game that are fleshed out over time. It's currently like a race car game where you can't race. It's tantamount to a dungeon crawler with no dungeons. This is a zombie game with no zombies; a survival game where survival is that of a first person shooter rather than an actual survival MMO. Think about how happy you'll be basically playing "lovely Counterstrike" when instead of respawning with your SIG you have to craft bandages and a bow and arrow and eat berries for 40 minutes. Why play this game when you can play Counterstrike? It doesn't know what it is or what it should be and it's riding coat tails of the massively deficient Battle Royale largely because of Summit1G's stream (who they pay to play the game).

When I play this with 2 or 3 of my buddies and we all meet up somewhere and loot along the way then go create chaos or just see how much poo poo we can gather and bring back to our little hamster den is when I'm having the most fun in this game. We have a shitload of laughs playing together and interacting with random people. Getting aimbotted or teleported is when it's at it's lowest.

Let's talk about the incredible stupidity inherent in this game's design currently and why no one should have any confidence that in a year we will have a better game. Night mode: "Wouldn't it be a great idea to make every squint and try to figure out if one of the nonexistant zombies is around? Well, they aren't around, don't worry." Spawn points when you enter the game the first time: "Let's send new players to the absolute butthole of the map upon spawning into the game. They can check the local empty cars or 4 homes (if lucky) for absolutely no loot, it'll be great!" Using a bow as a melee weapon but not being able to use empty guns as melee weapons. Requiring cloth/string for discovery but not requiring anything but wood to create the item later. There is a chance to find ammo behind a refrigerator that has fallen over, or on a table in the middle of a camp site, but a 0.0% chance to find ammo inside of a dresser or desk. And on, and on and on. Shammypants fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Mar 8, 2015 |

It's practically no coding to have ammo spawn inside containers they previously didn't, or to have players spawn in different locations. There should be patches on patches, even minor ones, that do more than 'increase the damage of shotgun."

XyrlocShammypants posted:Titles on top of titles for days Early Access alpha's aren't about playing the game, they're about investing in the development. You invest early, you get to play with the product as it develops, and have the finished product for less than the finished retail price. This wasn't a solid $20 investment for you, the return wasn't what you wanted. Maybe it will be in 6 months, maybe it won't. But it's not an unreasonable position to find yourself in with an early access game, and I don't understand why you're pitching such a fit about it. Sometimes we just make bad investments because we get sold on a vision and it doesn't pan out the way we thought it would.

This isn't an investment, you're paying for the "privilege" of playing a free game early. And it's completely reasonable to post negatively about an unfinished product that, at this time, shows little promise (in my opinion). I don't log in much anymore because it's either getting killed by hackers every 10 minutes, or the game crashing anytime anything of interest happens. Last time I logged in, someone attacked our base and the game crashed after the first shots were fired. After I logged back in apparently I had been killed, cool. Game is virtually unplayable for a lot of people.
