ah wait there is actual PvE servers? I really should look more into this game then a few pages in this thread.
That might be alright then, so you can't kill anyone but yourself on those servers correct?

So... Do you get anything when you win these battle royals or events?

Yes there are actual PVE servers. And yeah, you can't kill anyone. It's been a much truer "zombie survival" experience, IMO. You can focus on looting (well when there is actually loot anyway) and people will often help you out instead of dropping you on sight.

Completing living off the land now. (Animal traps are OP)
Airdrops and more event tickets I believe.

Craft a bow and carry a few arrows. Bases aren't very strong yet and people can still run you over. Fire an arrow at a jeep's engine. A bow is the only weapon you can have within seconds of spawn.
I'd love to be able to answer that.

Yeah I've been playing for a couple hours this morning and still am not find anything really (Solace btw). Only thing I found so far today is some antibiotics, a can of salmon, and an empty bottle lol. I've yet to ever find a gun in this game and I'm at around 18hrs played. Hunger/thirst doesn't seem much better either.
That's funny because I found an ar15 some time ago. It it had no ammo. I didn't pulpit or because I didn't want no trouble lol.
Some dude killed me with a pistol when I was running away from him
On solace lol

Yes.
I know you can pull it out when it has no ammo if that's what you're asking
I have a machete, a bow, a police car turbo and a one dollar cowboy hat. Everything will be fine:

This is what I came across!
most definitely, when I hear gun shots. I tend to be weary and try to leave the area but not everyone is cautions like me lol
Some people may think a battle went off and people died and loot may still be there

Because people have free will?
For sure. A little while ago some guy was like "do you have ammo for that? ... you don't have ammo for that", which I thought was funny. He left after I asked him if he wanted to find out for certain.
Just started watching and it seems like he died :/
I haven't laugh this much in a while. Thanks!
They can't add any until Tuesday, Holiday weekend.
You are very wrong, actually. Chars and animations are placeholder. Plus, they'll continue to improve the environment graphics, like they have been. The devs have showed pictures of them working on all of that stuff.
For people who are saying that the "graphics don't get better" and "the engine sucks" this is Planetside 2 running on the same (actually a slightly OLDER version) of the same engine:

Why not post ps2 gameplay on ultra? What is an artsy quick jump trailer on an older version going to do?
lol ok
Lol Brillaint, really hope this game keeps getting supported like it is right now.
I'm sick of never being able to get away from people. I was out in the arse end of nowhere. I had just gathered enough stuff to make a shack. I put it all on the ground ready to craft and out of nowhere another guy runs up and starts taking stuff and then just sits down. Presumably waiting for me to drop something else.
I suppose I should count myself lucky I was on a PvE server since the first thing he did on arriving was put some arrows in me.

and this is why I like PVP, I give a warning if you are just running up on me.
If I warned you and you still come and we didnt talk it out, you will get killed lol
Ready for release? No. More Polished than DayZ? Yes.
I haven't crashed once, my frame rate is stable, I haven't died to a glitch or a door and its been really fun.
Game is miles ahead of DayZ.
I just hope we getting a constant flow of content updates to keep the train rolling.

Just saying using the same engine as a graphically pretty game does not=automatically gonna be a pretty game. It's all about how the dev uses the engine at their disposal and the assets. For example, Sonic Boom is a cry-engine game but doesn't look anywhere near as good as a crysis title or many other games at the time of it's release.
It's the same developer using their own engine for their own game.
All I am showing with this is that the engine works and they can do it.
He's fine. He got a shotgun off an airdrop and then got the drop on a group of 3 around another.
Interesting.
There is no pay to win stuff.
If you buy the big package you get 3 airdrop tickets (which you can buy one for 5$ too).
Those when used on a server with more than 120 people in it will spawn a huge plane that very slowly and very loudly flies across the map and drop a crate slowly falling to the ground on a parachute that has supplies in it which will land up to 750m away from where you called it.
There is a 10% chance that the crate could have either a bundle with a shotgun and 10 shots or with a pistol with 12 shots in it.
The entire rest is just supplies from farming stuff,to medic stuff to food.
Everyone on the server can see this plane and go for the crate and pick it up. There are also always at least 5+ zombies around the crate.
It's not pay to win, it's "pay to create a fight over supplies that the guy who paid for will usually not even get close to"

Yes but alpha to beta to the final product in a game like this hasn't really shown to result in a massive graphical improvement. Remains to be seen.
It doesn't. You can pay to get an airdrop, but it takes ages to land and any player can get it. It's not even always that good. For more info.

Edit: Also they detailed the patch they are working on for monday.
It was ridiculous huge, found 2 backpacks there and car parts and ton of water.
Got my camp built. Near water. Plenty of resources. Animal traps going. Next job is to take a trip into a town and see if I can find one of these mythical crowbars people seem to think rain from the sky like manna from heaven.
I've played 16 hours so far according to steam and I've had 1 single metal scrap drop and didn't even know crowbars existed.

funny I just found a crowbar and plan on breaking shit with it lol
I completely understand its an alpha. But to keep this game going they need constant map updates and changes.
Same. Not a single fucking piece of scrap metal nor did I ever find the mythical crowbar. Pretty sure there's no such thing!
Did find the toxic waste plant with like a million MRE's and fresh water. USELESS THOUGH WITHOUT SCRAP METAL!!!! This game relies way too much on it. They need to add flint knapping or something.
As soon as I get logged in I'm going to head out to Cranberry to see if I can find either some scrap metal or the mythical crowbar. Apparently crowbars like to spawn in office buildings. I have plenty of food and water so it should be ok.
At the moment too much of progress requires you to luck out and find an axe. To advance beyond a basic shack you need metal. That's the bit they need to balance next.
Here's how I plan on starting my next character when the new EU servers open.
1. Find water bottles. This is essential.
2. Don't tear up my shirt for cloth. The carrying capacity is far more important to me
3. Farm zombies instead. Eventually I'll have either enough cloth to make a satchel or one of them will drop a backpack.
4. Now craft a bow.
5. While I'm doing all this I'll hopefully have found an axe.
6. Find a spot near water and other resources to build a camp.
I'm hoping they tweak the loot more. There's a massive lack of it inside containers to the point where for most of them it's actually pointless wasting time searching them.
Also why is it always night when I log in
One thing I noticed while I was building my camp earlier is that doing stuff around it (Chopping trees, checking my traps etc) causes zombies to spawn. Which was nice. Gave me something else to do and some extra cloth.
