VIDEO GAME MODIFICATION IS TOTALLY THE SAME THING AS A FEMALE'S BODY AND CLONING SAID MODIFICATION IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS RAPE, GUYS!!!!!!!


Apparently this is the EA map. This is a fan made thing, I think, since it's pretty clearly low-quality, but it should give you an idea of what things will be like. This is supposed to be about 8x8 km.

Kimsemus posted:

If it has more stuff to do than DayZ, but better quality than the WarZ (Or whatever that piece of poo poo is called now), I will be satisfied.

Especially if we can all run around with no pants on like in Rust and stab people to death with spears.

This is really all I want. Something that tickles my autism re: looting while also being able to kill dumb pubbies and listen to them piss and moan. My only regret is that I won't be able to use my old WarZ character names.

On that note, apparently killing people causes the stuff they're carrying to degrade in quality. So loot we pull off of dead pubbies is going to be damaged in most cases, I imagine. It's a dumb mechanic, but whatever.

Probably also worth reiterating that, based on SOE's handling of Planetside 2, we shouldn't expect quality or long-term support. Unless this game somehow rains money on SOE. But even then. More money means more vacation time, right???

Another updated map. Instead of pasting together screenshots or whatever the hell the other guy did, this guy just basically redrew everything to scale, so it looks a lot smoother. Bear in mind that this is supposed to be something like 8x8 km, with servers being capped at around 200 people at launch. SOE claims they're going to have 150-200 servers come Thursday, so you do the math and figure out whether or not people are going to be queuing for hours or something. If server caps are consistently hit, though, we're looking at an average player density of about 3 per km^2.

I'm probably going to be an idiot without any self-restraint and buy in on Thursday. I'll draft a new OP and post it late tomorrow unless someone else beats me to it. And it does sound like each of your characters is locked to a server, so we'll need to settle on a goon server(s).

E: VVVV I'll try to put up a decent stream, and I imagine other goons might do the same. My Internet is terrible, so no promises, but hopefully a couple of goon streams will help people on the fence figure out whether or not this is worth :20bux:

When I tried it, it did not feel less clunky, but it may have improved since then

My biggest issues with DayZ at the moment are all related to the inventory system and H1Z1 seems to be a bit more refined in that regard.

Bummed about the size and player limit on servers. I thought we were going to be getting something crazy like 50kmx50km big maps with 1,000's of dudes running around. This just sounds like slightly larger Dayz.

The devs are going to expand the map size and player count throughout early access. They say that they can do 2,000 players no problem but the map isn't big enough yet.

I think it's just the additional mode (for now). The tickets, I mean. The keys and crates and air drops thing are other stuff.

I normally would agree but after watching the random streamers invited to play for an hour, it seemed like a dayz standalone clone with a reasonable engine and an actual development team behind it. I burn 20$ drinking and only have to piss, might as well get the game.

I admire your optimism. The blatant clip hacking and AOE killbots are no longer there, but ESP/aimbots are still very much alive and well. BattleEye is the only anti-cheat program coupled with VAC that enjoys a modicum of anti-hack success.

I ended up clanning up and running in larger numbers (usually 5-10) really helps make it playable. It's got to be tough for solo/duo peeps though. Anyway, it's just passing the time til something better comes along.
