H1Z1 - Zombie apocalypse sandbox from SOE

Has to be one of the most retarded ideas I've ever heard in a game.

I would hate to think who the actual people are that are clearly buying them. They are even changing it so they spawn random and has to have 100 players on to spawn one atm it is 50, the idea behind it is a mini event where you could get loads of players to one spot.
 
Sounds pretty good to me if it all works and doesn't give any single player an advantage. Good game mechanic to add a simple player driven event into the game.

think about it, you buy something with your real life money and then there is a chance you may not even get it, seems kinda mad.

how much is an airdrop then ? are we talking pounds or pence ?
 
The lowest you can buy is 500 SC which is £4. Hope they don't cost £4 each LOL, but yeah people rage using in game voice when you go after the drops, so funny.

EDIT: Yeap Air Drops are 500 SC jesus people are paying £4 for those.
 
Just watched a twitch stream.. Guy ordered an air drop (he bought 4), i looked away to do something, come back and hes basically battling 4 people for this box.

Punching the guy in the face who was rooting through it and everytime he went to search the crate he would get an arrow through his arm and stuff.

Thats with the zombies who appear to not be working at the moment with air drops as you can simply run past them and they do nothing. So with the zombies working fine it's actually going to be VERY risky to request one. Or a fantastic time to bait a group of people in for easy kills ;)

People moaning about pay to win? WTF serious overreaction imo.
 
Most of the steam reviews seem to be from butthurt people. Lots of people last night were expecting this to be free in EA, when they found out they had to pay for EA steam users went crazy mad and I think a lot of them jumped on the p2w band wagon to vent some rage. Does anyone know if we get a day one patch at all? I should think after the launch the devs are taking a break, I know I would.
 
Oh that's quick, cheers. Fingers crossed it has a bit of loot balancing in this patch.

Here's what's on the immediate horizon
Lag fix - we're well aware of many servers seeing heavy lag. We have a fix incoming this am.
Hitting the play button to a server and nothing happens or you don't get in - this is directly related to #1
G29 / G99 errors - we know what the root cause of this is (we're getting information from Steam too slowly in a lot of cases)- this will be fixed.
Very little loot - already fixed and will go up with a hotfix asap.
Airdrops - many fixes including how close they drop to you, how wide a radius they drop in.. airplane speed.. and of course making guns way, way less common.

Yeh I was watching the same stream the Viking guy hehe did you hear about his ex story before that?
 
think were missing the point with the air drop.....

if you order one and have a good weapon, hide off from the drop and just kill everyone who come to loot. seems like a nice little trap and then you are going to get a lot more loot for your SC. Obviously only do this when you have the right weapons.
