lol because i went to SOE Live I get a beanie

gently caress you non-beanie havers

idiots


so my impression from SOE Live

when I got to sit down he was hurt and everything was in black and white (probably because he was hurt), I ran inside a house, a zombie ran through the wall and was also stuck in the floor and started attacking me

there were only like 2-3 terminals with h1z1 so i didn't ever see any players

the game felt better than DayZ in some ways, and in others felt just as clunky

at that time it didn't feel any worse than DayZ, so at the least on launch tomorrow it will be exactly as bad

i do think the game could become (or might be in the build they are currently using) less clunky

it is using the same engine as PS2 and I find that game runs pretty well and then gunplay is really good

hopefully they've improved it because now i have to murder people with kimsemus

hell, they might have delayed the early access release to iron out some of the issues i mentioned

I wish there was an early access version for PS4 instead. Although it looks like my computer can run this because it looks like absolute rear end.

can it run PS2

it might not be that intensive, but close because its the same engine

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."

this is basically exactly my impression after having played it

So what's with the Reddit sperg over name plates? Do you really see a username on top of someone at all times? Kinda sucks for snipers/stealth if thats the case.

no if you are really up close to them you'll see it

like the "p2w" airdrop thing, its a big loud as gently caress plane that drops green smoke that everyone on the server will be able to see and go toward

if you manage to get to the airdrop before someone else does and takes your stuff, before you get killed, before a loving bear kills you, or whatever else you might get a gun/guns, you might get like some loving water or whatever

apparently they are going to make guns rarer drops in the crates and also make the drop zone a lot bigger, meaning good loving luck getting your crate

its not so much p2w as an RNG slotmachine with zombies and KOS assholes standing next to you waiting for you to pull the lever so they can steal whatever coins drop out of the machine

Honestly I think if the game was just :10bux: :10bux: pay to play there would be a lot less rage about it. Smedley is already on thin ice with a lot of people because of SWG and Planetside 2 Implant bullshit. Regardless of how they ultimately decide to tweak the air drops, it was a massive PR fuckup. Smedley still seems like a glue sniffing idiot, and their game has made an awful first impression.

Guys, do you understand yet that forums poster "Eonwe" does not care about p2w, and he needs everyone to know it, because any criticism of this poo poo game is met staunchly with his "Personally I don't care" demeanor.

There are valid critcisms of this game. The fact that the developers outright lied. The fact that you're paying money for a buggy soon-to-be f2p game. The fact that its p2w model will likely kill the game. The fact that the game is absolutely terrible and offers really nothing fresh or new (I know, its "EA").

But I forgot, this is a games thread, if I don't just blow this games dick I am being an internet troll :rolleye:

This thread has a very SimCity feel to it. I give it about... two months before everyone has turned on it except for a select few who defend their poor choices to the death.

why didn't you just say this in the first place instead of that weirdo exchange you had up there

Thanks, I'd say my posting is about as good as H1Z1.

edit: Just watched a stream where a bunch of zombies phased through a guy, then like 5 minutes later, in the middle of a field, he keeled over and died for seemingly no reason. GOTY

double edit: I am watching another stream and so far I haven't seen a single thing that makes this game better than any of the other survival zombie horror games. I literally cannot find one thing it does better or different.

Guys, do you understand yet that forums poster "Knifegrab" thinks this game is bad, and he needs everyone to know it, because anyone enjoying it is met staunchly with his "dead game, lol rationalization" demeanor.

Air drops seem pretty simple to fix if that many people are really bitching about them. Rename it to Supply drop, have it have a RNG box of survival supplies including gear, flares, high end food & water, and ammo. Include zero guns. Its still a high value target for other players to fight over and doesn't give anyone that pay2gun feeling. Bam.

So I was running with two pubbies and chalked up 3 kills of people who think they're going to take on 3 lumberjacks with their little sticks and bows, finally we come across some ammo for a gun one of the guys had, and shortly after came across some guy and his friend who obviously called in an airdrop. Thinking he was some godlike player, he started telling us to drop our poo poo before shooting at the ground near us, so the guy in our little group with the gun shot and killed him pretty much immediately, and then his friend sprinted away. So we got an extra 1911, some ammo for it, an empty AR15, and a combat knife out of it. Then we all slowly starved to death as every berry bush in the server was glitched and not allowing us to pick them, and as we all know blackberries are the only current source of sustenance in game.

you have to have your fists out to pick up berries, its pretty dumb

also after you make a bow your first thing to craft should be a bow drill

it takes a plank, a stick, and some cloth I think


when you chop down a tree you'll get some logs, you can start a campfire with these logs (even through prox - doesn't have to be in your inventory) and cook wolf meat from the wolves who have constantly been annoying you

just be aware that to craft wolf steak you have to use wolf meat in the discovery crafting thing and "discover it" just like any other recipe

yeah I know having a gun out prevents you from picking up berries, you probably can pick them up while holding an axe though

as far as the bow drill goes, it takes 15 seconds of prep time to use and is reusable (it might have durability - I haven't checked just used it twice so far)

if you can start a fire inside that is preferable, but the logs are heavy and if you don't have a backpack you probably can't move them so just be aware that zombies from a loving mile away will be heading your way

You can purify water, make coffee, cook meat, make bio fuel, all sorts of good stuff with just the fire

Also you can reuse your empty water bottles at a lake or even in the rain

I thought the rain thing was a nice touch

By getting water from one of these sources you'll lose 10 hp upon consumption. If you find a well you'll get stagnant water which only hurts you by 2 HP. Either of these can be crafted into purified water at a campfire
