What's new

H1Z1

Just read somewhere that early access probably won't start until June. :( Not sure if that's true or not though.


Im actually relieved, there seemed to be like 4 games that would be vying for my time at the end of May.
 
So apparently SOE dev Arclegger has been streaming as he builds assets for H1Z1 in real time. This reddit thread contains examples of different strongholds and a video of the stream. He also replied to said thread, and states he will be streaming as he works and talking in chat on May 20th at 5:15pm PST. Definitely tuning in myself.

Post:

I saw some people were pleasantly surprised by the stronghold pictures shared today so that means some of you missed that part during the stream. I wanted to make this quick posts so you did get to see some more on the strongholds.)
There are a few different versions of the strongholds.
For those who want the video footage; go here
The rest of this post will show/tell something about the other variety's of the strongholds/outposts that we got to see.
Also for the time being this doesn't look very player created, more just a location in game, but i imagine we will get to create likewise structures ourselves. these are more just camps you will find/take over in the game.
Expect it more to be a place that you can take over i guess, like the governor's mansion. (also in game)
EDIT: Read this for more information on making something like this: https://twitter.com/Arclegger/status/467399424822349824
2 quotes:"
None of it was built in game, I placed everything individually. But players can use that and build around it.
You'll be able to craft things like that as well. Just not exactly like that.​
  • There will be loot in all the places shown here. (which make it a valuable place for taking over i guess =) )
Weak/small compound/outpost
Overview image: http://i.imgur.com/Kr7KzOh.jpg
The first that was shown to us.
  • Small crappy compound.
  • Small chance of survival.
  • Chest high walls/easy to get into.
second outpost/stronghold
  • More barricaded/secured walls, gate... barbed wire on the walls. image
  • Building a little community, a house... a small area with cars. image
  • area with cars, people that were working on a van. image Image 2
  • More protected so more on the inside that people can do.
  • Makeshift place for sleeping. image
Much more fortified compound/ The stronghold being shared today. This is the one we got to see today in the screenshots shared on multiple places. looks really sweet.
watch the rest of the video for more on H1Z1 with adam Clegg: http://youtu.be/93xVMGPijOU?t=22m53s
it's pretty cool, he shows a warehouse/different versions of it. it's what I was hoping for/discussed in a earlier post. http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/23rzx5/townscities_my_fears_ideas_and_dreams/
No time to check my spelling/grammar... apologies. I am tired and im gonna get some sleep.
 
L-shaped compound concept from development.


and an update from Clegg on the neighborhood he was working on during the live stream this week

This is starting to peak my interest more, would love too see more on the building side of things. The crafting is an interesting take on things. Not sure if I'd buy into early access yet, would have to see how much interest others have in it.
 
I think it was in that stream you linked that Jimmy said there would be over a hundred recipes from the start. He also mentioned that part of the reason it is taking so long is that they want to have a good bit of the foundation finished so people can get an idea of where the game is headed. Considering how fast we would gather everything possible in Rust I'm completely fine with waiting longer to have more content from the start.

Good summary video...
 
So I found this thread (and this game) a few weeks ago when doing a deep search of alttabme's forums, and I have to admit something:

I have been obsessed ever since. o.o

Like seriously, obsessed.

I watched all the videos from this past SOE Live event like a million times (there's something like 20+ hours of streaming footage).
I am ANXIOUSLY anticipating their appearance at Pax Prime in 10 days.
I've read every.single.news.update on the H1z1 website.
I have been on the subreddit for...what feels like days on end. I've been through at minimum 5 pages of the "top posts of all time" and at least 10 pages of the "top posts of the week", not to mention I am refreshing the front page of the subreddit every like 30 minutes.

So my question to you guys is, WHO ALL IS GOING TO PLAY?!?!? I 100% want to do the whole group survival, build a base, defend, scavenge, craft kinda gameplay. Anyone want to join me? Do you want to take on the Zombie Apocalypse with me?!?!?

:eek:mg::eek:mg::eek:mg::eek:mg::eek:mg:
 
YES YES YES dur[DOUBLEPOST=1408569699,1408569666][/DOUBLEPOST]I am a FPS player more than an mmo player the whole time anyways. Like this game is almost everything I could want.
 
Anyone planning on getting into alpha when it comes out?

I think I'd be willing to dish $20 bucks to get a look at the game (bugs and all) whenever alpha is released.

So if you guys are planning to join that as well, we could get an alttabme survivor's camp goin on!
