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

(i'm in tomorrrow, then after monday i'll be ready to poopsock)

I've had quite a few goons I haven't talked to in like, a year, message me on Steam about this, so I'm pretty psyched. It might be poo poo, but it's our poo poo.

The engine has be to better than the VBS2/whatever the poo poo the new engine DayZ uses right? Planetside 2 runs nicely for the amount of things it has to support.

Engine is almost certainly going to be better. The zombie pathing is probably going to be screwy, but I'm thinking it will be less likely to bottleneck your system in cities, and I'm betting physics deaths are going to be a lot less frequent.

Can you fish in this game?

Fishing has been mentioned on multiple occasions, and I think there was even a screenshot posted of a dev spear-fishing, so I think it's in? It could be one of those features that never materializes, but I think fish are in the game, and fish with no fishing would be dumb.

E: More updates from one of the developers

quote:

1. Game will be available on steam @ 10am Pacific time TOMORROW MORNING
2. Whitelist servers will be there, those who have the initial servers have been notified and we left it to them to let you guys know
3. Headshot only servers mean that ZOMBIES must be killed with headshots, players are unaffected
4. Yes, we will be streaming tomorrow from our official channel (3pm Pacific), if you aren't playing or watching someone else, tune in
5. There is no pre-load option for #H1Z1 on steam for Early Access launch, the build will change too much for it to matter. (CC: @itmeJP)

A few of us are idling in the H1Z1 channel under the Misc section on CTS mumble.

Tomorrow we'll make a collective effort to all get on the same server between queues and inevitable crashes. There is already primitive base building in game, and Eonwe (Who played the game at SOE Live) suggested some potential spots.

If you guys are interested in playing and dying horrifically together, find us there.

You can also add me, Kimsemus, on Steam.

You could just merge it with the old early access thread because almost every single survival game seems to be early access. The only one I think that ever made it out was Nether, and apparently that sucks.

All they need now are blowguns ingame and the ability to put zombie blood on the dart tips.

That should definitely be a thing.


Also from all the guest streamers they had running, it seems that fall damage isn't the biggest killer like in DayZ thankfully. I am actually decently excited to try it out tonight, especially with the mass rush to figure out recipes and beating each-other to death for blackberries and scrap metal.

H1Z1 is built on what is almost certainly a better engine than what DayZ uses. The amount of autism in H1Z1 is also probably a lot lower, so while that means no feeding people bleach or whatever, it also (probably) means more shootmans, less buggy (but still buggy) zombies, and less "My balls are wet. I'm drying off. My balls are wet. I'm soaked. I'm drying off. I have hypothermia. I'm hungry. My balls are wet."

Tryhard redditors are going to identify in game using their "signature" cowboy hats.

I feel like we should use cowboy hats to easily identify each other too, and just communicate on mumble because we're not plebs.

It's already up. Also it's just an .exe at the moment but if anyone remembers the old SOE authentication bug they only half-fixed it. You can't actually play games with it but you can still force downloads. :v:

I'm hoping this game can bring together the WarZ goons and Highby's Heros (PS2) goons, the two most fun groups of people to play games with. 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.

Because that worked so well in the first Planetside, where Need for Speed: Tokyo Drift would play for 3 years before you got in the dropship.

Luckily I haven't bought any of the other hundreds of zombie games so I won't feel bad about purchasing this one.

The reason this one appeals to me is 1.) there appears to be an actual focus on providing an ample number of zombies as opposed to one or two every square mile and 2.) they will be attempting to get more people on each server as opposed to one or two every square mile.
