I agree, I played on a PVE server to get away from the cheaters, actually. It was nice to be able to explore and craft things without worrying about people for a bit.

Yep, lots of complaints about that. I'm sure SOE will adjust it, they will be changing a lot of things due to feedback.

yeah right now I can't find water before I become dehydrated. lol
Solace is the main PVP. A bunch of us may start a gaf coop on No Hope which is PVE though.
Ok cool PVP is the best.

Hey can you put at the top of OP we are playing on solace
Edit: must have missed it lol.

Can we have separate servers for the EU gafers?
When I try playing on the US server I usually get disconnected after 10min.
Thought it would probably have to wait to pick a server until Thursday seeing as most of the EU servers aren't up yet!

That disconnect may have been a bug. I am on US servers and plenty of Europeans playing just fine.
Really they hope they're gonna work on the map beyond making it larger. Currently it looks very amateuristic. Not quite as bad at Rust's map, but nowhere near DayZ's quality. Especially the newer towns and areas in Chernarus look like they could be actual places (which they often are). H1Z1's map reminds me of community made ones in Arma. That's probably my biggest complaint so far along with the fact that there's very little clothing variety which makes it hard to set yourself apart.
You might be right.
But i thing separate EU servers would be better for EU gafers as the latency will also be better!
Seriously?

Funny thing is that at the end of the queue the game could crash. Or if I go back to the server browser the "Join" button results 'broken' and I have to restart the game.

They're adding 200 euro servers monday or tuesday.

Yeah I can do not that. EU players can list some and I the can think throw it in.
Man I just played on a coop server and died of starvation. Couldn't find anything to save my life. I was searching a cabin desperately trying to find any scraps of food but collapsed dead before I got the chance. The Zombies aren't a walk in the park either.
It was about on par with the 8 hours I spent hiding in DayZ. They really need to figure a way out to let players make a lot more stuff from nature if it's going to be this hard to find anything while searching. I never found an ounce of metal scraps despite all the cars I searched. They should add grindable rocks or something so I can make makeshift axes or hammers with that you can use in place of the scrap metal ones.

Blackberry bushes are everywhere. Give you +2 hydration and energy. It's almost impossible to die of starvation or dehydration once you know this.
Hit broken cars with a crowbar, they will drop scrap metal.
It was dark and raining and there were only bushes all around that gave sticks. Like everyone's been saying. I actually found and ate Smed's Mixed Vegetables only a couple mins before I died. That should have kept me alive for at least another day. SOE need to watch Survivorman or something to understand how long it actually takes to die of starvation.
That's the problem there. I searched a lot of places and only found a shirt, a hat, 2 empty bottles of water and Smed's Mixed Vegetables. Nothing as amazing as a crowbar.
Green bushes give sticks, yellow bushes give berries.
Yeah, loot spawning is still messed up a bit on some servers it seems.
I found out that if I keep to the edges of the map, I would occassionally find places that hadn't been looted.
It has become my go to method, staying away from big cities and keeping myself towards the lesser explored places.
Oh and one more thing, running the direct opposite direction of an incoming Airdrop, since alot of people will converge on that area, giving me more time to loot the places they left.
I will admit though, to have an enjoyable experience almost hinges upon finding a small stock of scrap metal or a crowbar. This is especially true if one would want to have any chance of making a small base of operations as it requires a significant amount of metal.

Yeah, I'm aware. It just happened so fast. It also seemed like I'd have to find a significant amount of blackberries to not starve too. I had like 7 and it barely changed anything. Especially given the fact that in a matter of minutes you're going to be back where you were but now with 0 berries. They need to adjust food and hydration rates.
Definitely true. I think it'd help if there were alternatives with nature made tools and weapons. If you can make a makeshift axe out of a stick and scrap metal then you should be able to make one out of a stick and a rock. Even if you need to sharpen the rock first. That would probably alleviate some of the issue. Especially when it comes to hunting for food.

Yeah the hunger/thirst in this game is complete fucked up right now. I'm spending more time picking berries than I am doing anything else. Any how does an entire bush only give one berry? lol
If you're lucky. I've gotten branches from them several times.

This is also what I've been experiencing too. The big town is really tense and fun to explore, but there really isn't anything in it for the most part.
Cool,the OP should add No Hope as the PvE GAF server...? I will play mainly on PvE but might try a guy on Solace also,just for laughs.

No hope is what I'm on. It's amazing how much better the game is in PVE. Players actually going out of their way to help the others instead of KOS stupidity.
I kind of like the one I was playing on. I think it was Shadow? But it was first person, headshots only, Recipe Wipe, PvE.
Cool, I'll be joining No Hope as well then. Gives me time to figure out a few things before I go back to pvp.

There is a day/night cycle. It does seem like there is way more night than day though. lol
They already said the first 30 days will be used as bug fixing and tweaking stuff like that. Remember its a holiday weekend so I'm sure their priority was to get things running this weekend next week is when real stuff will start being fixed probably.
Landmark adjusted fast and that's one team working on two games, I'm confident they are listening and will make a lot of adjustments in the next 7-14 days.

Thats just great.
I ginally get in but after a few mins the screen goes balck and its as if my PC is not connected to my monitor anymore. <_<
I have to restart the PC to get it working again.
Happened 3 times already. Anyone seen this happen before?

Just had the most hilarious encounter in this game

That's a nice coincidence. I made a character there when solace was down the first day. It reminded me of l4d no mercy.
Hunger/Thirst rate has to be lowered.
I really need to get the conponents to build a shed before calling airdrops. If I actually get something, I need a safe place to keep it. How vulnerable are the access code wooden sheds? I came accros one on a hill by a road yesterday.
