I have characters everywhere. Getting constant discons after a few min. Lots are.

Every where in Europe is fine me, having to exit the game each time make making more a pain.

Only Game I've gotten is about 5 minutes on a battle royal server (free), made 1 short term silent frend and died by my clone wielding a machete and there was shotgun and ammo right near me if only I'd seen it.

Does anyone know how the private servers are done, seems to only be big YouTube getting them is there a paid option somewhere.

Unhinged server came back up so jump in and I'm 11th in queue,hope this works.

Nevermind

Noxin

lewl. Jumped straight onto it after getting disconned from a us server where I had just looted a nice axe and military backpack
Got kicked straight off Unhinged pretty much straight away :P

I have gotten about 20 min straight playing and ran into a few others. I can really see the potential for this game now.

And yes, private servers are only for the utoob celebs... :P

Just took a look at the reviews on steam haha people are not happy with pay2win apparently they said it wouldnt be?

Varik

Is having to close the game normal when you DC.

Spawned with about 30 people on a hill and then spread out, followed by a few DCs. Playing on Badlands or Boarderlands or whatever it's called.

There's a lot of **** about it but they released a statement earlier about the p2w. Personally I think it's nothing and not pay to win imo. But each to their own. Those initial reviews are just a lot of butthurt people. :pac:

LEWL. Was it on badlands? I was just there.

Yea I have to close it too,

Varik

Not much point trying to meet up when the servers are an issue, going to make a go of it on badlands.

discon from badlands x2. Beginning to get tired now but I've just opened another beer. Tbh, it's kinda funny cause when 20 people spawn on a hill, it turns into a fist fight to the death cause we know we're all gonna get discon shortly.

Funnier when they decided to pile into a caravan that's near.

Noxin

Calling it at that for a night. The discons are too much now.

First impression after finally getting to play: Huge potential. Airdrops have already been nerfed and once they get these server problems sorted, this could be a winner. Time will tell.

G'night.

I think fixed is more accurate, they've lowered the drop rate but it's more that the player using it were getting them dropped right near them and with no chance for other players to show up or any new zed spawns.

Varik

Servers seem to work now.

Here's part 2 of the first impressions, we set up a little camp, meet a quiet dude & explore a graveyard & crypt thing.

I'm currently in the middle of making a bunch of tutorials for this, is there anything you guys want to see? Any part of the game you want me to show to you if you are undecided about it?

Cheers!

Varik

Oh god damn it.

20 minutes of queuing, jump on and then 17s until server reset.

Iits been berry picking simulator 2015 for me for the total of about 70 mins play so far.

fiacha

I was watching one of the youtube celebs streams last night. He failed to retrieve all three of the drops he called in. Killed by looters each time LOL, and this was before they changed the drop behaviour.

I'm liking it so far, it can only get better and SOE appear to be taking on feedback. Hopefully that will continue to happen.

Found rifle, found 1911, server crash lost both.

restarted somehow still had the backpack I shredded.

Right now I'm carrying a lot of sticks, some berries, 1 can food, 4 purified water bottles, backpack, bow, arrows, assault rifle, axe, and some med supplies. Cut down 2 trees and made a nice little fire to purify my toilet water to something drinkable. Not seen any deer in a while.

Only issue is server disconnects and food/water consumption. Never even heard an airdrop.

What servers are people playing on.

They think they know whats causing the disconnects so hopefully they have it sorted today.

My servers are random at the moment and both us and eu. I stay on whatever keeps me connected. I'll test Outpost somethingsomething when they come back online as that seems stable. Or Calamity I think it's called.

Did you use a lot of keys and whatnot?

I bought the normal version but I've got the hat recipe and a load of event/crate which I don't think I had at the start. I was thinking that they gave out more stuff to make up for the launch but not so sure now.

game wont even launch for me. i get to the station log in, launch game and it shuts down. Im getting seriously annoyed. Same thing with Take on Mars, maybe its because i have poxy windows 10

Haven't used any of the extra stuff we got dude. I only got the €20 one as the €40 one wasn't out at the time. I don't have an air drop thing, only a few crate keys I think. Not sure what they do yet. Don't have the hat recipe, you may of gotten lucky haha

I found windows 10 didn't launch a lot of games for me. I had to go back to 8.1.
But H1Z1 probably won't launch for another hour.

Game also just patched for me.

Nope, there is a 60-90 minute maintenance window now. They are deploying a server side patch that will hopefully fix a bunch of stuff. They should have a better way of communicating this stuff to people
