It performs decently enough. The most common problem, and worst one at that, is getting black screen when logging onto server, which may or may not be easily solvable. At best you restart the game, at worst you'll have to delete your character and start with new one.

Besides that I'm getting a bug where when I draw a bowstring I cannot shoot arrow or change to another weapon unless I go to inventory and change the bows slot. And occasional crah here or there. Or bear not being next to me until he kills me.

If you've ever played any of the SA minecraft PVP servers like Blockskriege or Keepcraft then this is right up your alley! As with any game like this, playing with goons is the best and only way to play.

Keepcraft was the best, and this game reminds me so much of keepcraft. Down to base raids, bow and arrow duels, and sprinting across miles of zombie filled wasteland cause you need a piece of string.

How do the multiple servers work, do I have a persistent guy that hops between servers like day z or is my guy locked to a server?

You create a new guy when you move to a new server. However since there's no skill progression or anything, in practice this means starting on a new server is no different from dying on a server you're already on except that you probably don't have a shack/stash with some stuff already.

Played for a bit last night. Got chased by wolves for an hour through the woods keeping myself alive with berries and bandages made from chopped up zombies, got to one of our forts and got let inside, and got locked in because no-one would tell me the password to get out.

Seems fun.

edit: Not that being locked in the base matters because I can't even load into the game any more and just get stuck on the loading screen :bravo:

Yeah, we encourage people not to log in the base. For some reason proximity to the sheer number of poo poo in a base (Often a base will contain more material than any given neighborhood in the game packed into a really dense area) causes you to have issues logging.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I'm a little apprehensive about zombie survival game #83 or whatever but I did like EVE with goons so I'll probably be picking this poo poo up this weekend.

Griefing and pubbie tears is my favorite aspect of video gaming so I'd be remiss if I didn't jump at the opportunity.

H1Z1 has so many absurd and hilarious moments. So far my favorite is beating on a car window with a crowbar while the guy in the driver seat cursed at me and IMP in general. This while wearing underwear and a -uniform- t-shirt.

Come play this stupid game with me. This game is like EvE in that it is extremely poo poo but also extremely fun. The amount of outrage people seem to generate when you kill them on a pvp server is amazing.

Are there more oldschool Gammasquads playing? This is breaky btw

I'm loving tired of zombie games like you wouldn't believe, but the zombies in H1Z1 aren't the real unending flood of bloodthirsty things that used to be human. :getin:

Also the game has enough zombies now for them to be a threat. There must have been at least a hundred surrounding the dam last night.

I've been playing H1Z1 off and on since launch, it's improved significantly and they've patched it more in months than DayZ has received in years. I find the hackers more of an issue than the bugs.

Rebuilding everything after a wipe is pretty painful though so I've been mainly sticking to Battle Royale, but I'm definitely up for getting in on some swarm action. :smugdog:

You see,
God doesn't help little frogs.

He helps people like me.
Got the game, spent some time fiddling with options and would've changed binds but to find out I don't really have to change a thing; they already have Crouch set to C as a toggle, even.

I can say one good thing about the game; they have sensible keybinds.

Also I arrow'd some zombies and deer on a server I picked at random I guess. Got a motorcycle helmet and a backpack and now I see why so many characters look like that.

I'm sure they have games with content that would highly offend us.

Also trip report. I am working from home today and playing. While on a call I ran into a house and parked myself on a bathroom vanity closing the door behind me. Hearing a door open and footsteps I jumped back into the game just in time for the door to open. Surprise! I killed some poor unsuspecting bastard with my machete and stole all his poo poo. I can only imagine the shock of seeing some lunatic in his underwear standing on a sink leaping down to kill him. Fun times.

It's especially bad because one outpost can generally support a group goonrushing in for a defense or something, but last night Misery hosted another servers population for the entire night, and it hit our stores pretty hard (Mainly because we were only a day old outpost)
