I absolutely hate it you die even if you win a battle royale. I mean you should be able to rejoice being the sole survivor, you know?

We reported several hackers that play session. Got insta-killed through walls on multiple occasions. Hopefully they get their anti-cheat system up and running some time soon because it's getting a bit crazy.
They have it up and they have cut out alot of the hackers, but there are still some. Its being worked on every work day. It will get better and better then hopefully its to a point where its not worth it for hackers to keep trying.

They're manually banning people at the moment. As far as I've read there isn't a system in place yet that automatically bans people when they cheat. It's quite telling when I've encountered more hackers just today then I've had in over 300 hours of DayZ standalone. That's on a server with quite a low population too.

Whats worse is the fact we dont play on a crazy populated server and still have ran into more hackers that night then any other time.

And the pics and videos we got are only the obvious ones. I cant remember how many times I walked into PV and was shot dead instantly that night.

Guarantee I'm going to screw up this post? Yeah.
A dev mentioned while streaming on Twitch about a week ago that they were working toward a big cheating fix, that would be ready in one to two weeks.

Correct, it's not turned on yet. They are monitoring and watching people that are cheating very closely, in order to see how they are doing it. They'll "flip the switch" and tons of people will start being banned.

That's what happened in PS2.

just google h1z1 hacking program and you will see sites with people talking about how they are getting banned and some of them think that the hardware ban goes as far as graphics card ID and motherboard ID banning now.

I dont know how it all works, but you can clearly see people are getting banned alot.

The ticket system. They drop during play, can be won in battle royale or be bought for a dollar each. Battle Royale is just the first of the planned "event servers" stuff like team death match, ctf etc.

I think the community is gonna go nuts when they start charging for BR it's pretty much become the main game for a lot of people.

Because hacking causes people to switch to BR. If that shit was under control and there was more customization it hink it would level out a little more. I was playing pure BR too because that hacking shit sucks.

I would hope that event tickets are not that uncommon and drop fairly regular on zombies. Im not talking about 1 out of every 3 zombies or something. You get 200 people in a battle royale and 100 of them die withing the first few minutes.

Yeah. It's gonna be a balancing act. Battle Royale is too good. Even without the hackers sometimes I just want to kill stuff with guns.

Can't wait til they fix the BR queues, but by then they will likely be charging to play. BR is pretty cool, but not worth paying for.

So does anyone know if they changed something to vehicle damage recently where two shots from a pistol can kill a full health vehicle? My friend and I were driving around to meet another friend and this guy shot us twice with a pistol and we blew up with no time react. He didn't really look like a hacker or anything but the fact that our car blew up like that made us think he might be.

Was the car at full health? If so probably a hacker.
 
H1Z1 servers will be coming down tonight at 3AM and remain down for 2 hours.
Patch Notes | 20/02/15

Weapons
Increased shotgun damage
Slightly increased shotgun recoil
Increased 1911 damage

Battle Royale

Cleaned up persisting rewards and safe zone information between Battle Royale matches

Base Building
Upper Level Walls, Shelters, and Stairs can now be crafted. These look like the walls, stairs, and shelters that you are used to, but they can be stacked on top of placed walls and shelters. This means that metal walls can now be two walls high. Structures can be placed on top of other structures for more variation of layout. Stairs can be placed on top of shelters for greater vantage points.
The Metal Gate is now almost twice as tall.
Metal Walls, Shelters and Large Shelters now require more of the same components to craft.

Vehicles
Vehicle collisions with terrain boulders should be more stable, still dangerous but less likely to toss the vehicle up in the air.
Adjusted the requirements for vehicle entry to help improve the response time.
Vehicle death explosions should now consistently damage players in the immediate vicinity.

Curious to see what the secret fixes and upgrades are. I wonder if zombie hordes and weapons on the character when not equipped go in.

Smedley always jujmps the gun, when he says somethign is happening soon, he actually means its close, but not as close as he thinks! i would say next week or the following! Smedley gets too excited. lol

Will be interesting to see how they implement zombie hordes. I absolutely do not want to see teleporting zombies like DayZ. Hordes should definitely roam around, but if you find a local without them it should be a moment to rejoice... not wonder how long until they teleport to you.

Hopefully they will provide a decent challenge/obstacle. Right now every time I find decent gear I just lose all interest. Nothing really do to besides wait to get PK'd. However if a nice town with good loot had a zombie problem...

Not touched for a month. Just been on the server browser. Just one EU Battle Royale server? Still haven't played it! Also still no server refresh button. Strewth.

FEDIT: is there an EU gaf server?

I really suck at shooting in this game. I probably need to waste some BRs just doing target practice.

Seem to do pretty good at the whole survival part though. I've managed a second place without killing anyone. Just get a car, drive around and keep an eye out.

I have a stockpile of like 10 guns on Solace. I need to scavenge for mats to build a base to stash them in before someone finds the hole they're in now...

Honestly. They will probably last longer in that hole than in a base.

This is the truth! On Antidote over the weekend I raided a base on the edge of the map. Just took my axe and swung away at the doors until I destroyed them. Then I helped myself to lots of goodies. Also stole the truck they had hidden behind two water collectors. Unfortunately, I wrecked the truck in the forest before I logged out. Bases are just too weak in their current form. Can't wait for them to implement the new base system.
 
The servers will be coming offline tonight at 3AM Pacific for approximately 2 hours.
Patch Notes 2/25

Base Building
The Upper Level Wall recipe is now discoverable.
Doors can now be placed in Upper Level structure doorways.
Increased base health by 10 times.

Weapons
Melee weapons will now lose more durability when hitting player built structures that are made of metal.

Features
Report Last Killer" button added to death screen

Bugfixes
Players jumping/landing on stationary vehicles should no longer be killed unexpectedly.
"Aim Punch" issues addressed for 3rd and 1st Person:
For Third, we split the flinch reactions into two types – if you’re holding a firing weapon, flinches will be in the neck and head region only (allows you to fire and flinch at the same time without losing aim). If you’re holding a one hand melee weapon or open fists, the entire upper body flinch will play as normal.

For First, we added a case to make sure flinches only happen if being grappled (they were being triggered even when not being grappled).
Player and World Wipe
Server and Player Wipe 2 will take place during this patch. You will see significant changes moving forward. Since players can no longer be able to stack items on top of each other, you shouldn’t see barricades and other annoying structures.
If you are not familiar with what a server and player wipe entails, please read this post.
In an effort to reallocate servers for better distribution we are making the following changes. Please refer to the following list to incase your server was affected. We understand that your favorite server might be one of the ones coming offline but because of the player and world wipe you will get to start fresh on a new server the next time you log in. Removing these servers from the list will give us more flexibility as we add new rulesets. You will see them again but with a new coat of paint. Removing them now helps un ensure we won’t have to reallocate many more times in the future.

Why did Polygon do a review of this game?

It's Early Access....

They didn't even say it was Early Access or Alpha in the title. Misleading everyone into thinking it's a finished product and even putting it on the same number scoring scale as finished games. And them defending themselves is quite hilarious in the comments.

Thinking about buying this, some most likely already answered questions:

Is battle royal always free? (now and when it's released?)
Do you get anything special if you buy it now or basically just early access and those event tickets and stuff?

..and what do the event tickets do?

No, Battle Royal isn't planned to always be free, that is what the event tickets will be for.

I see, I guess the drop rate of those tickets is not know yet? Or it will be low so you pay to die in 2 minutes.. stupid plan. Just keep selling it at 20 euros I'd say. Oh well.

Guess buying early access just gives you Battle Royal access until it becomes f2p then basically!

Is it just me or has enthusiasm for this game basically plummeted off a cliff? I was pumped before, but now I'm not as excited any more.
Probably because they haven't actually added anything to the game since launch. They've been talking about stabilizing the game for almost two months now and haven't even shown the roadmap yet.
