Weapon being inaccurate as shit in general, but still being just as accurate while standing still and when running around. Everything time there's a firefight it's pretty much a shitshow who's gonna get the kill.

I haven't had much issue with guns being inaccurate, sure blaring an AK full auto won't land you many hits at long range, but outside of that I get kills at long range without much issue, even with pistols. It's about as much of a shitshow as two people shooting at each other in any other game. They could stand to add differences in standing/crouching/prone, but it's hardly killing the game without it.
Not saying that it's beautiful, award winning, world class shooting controls, but it's entirely functional.

I've actually finally got used to it and can consistently kill people at range. Close combat is all about the shotgun though. It does feel clusterfuckish at time but I'm starting to see a bit consistency. The one who designed the combat (Whisenhunt) left to Twitch a few months back. Not sure who took over that job or what their plans are but it could definitely use improvements. At the very least we are getting better animations for everything. What i really want is for your big ass head to stop blocking your view when you are aiming at something below you.

Yea, it does it's job but it's not like in 10 years anyone is going to be talking about how H1Z1 revolutionized gunplay in games. Plenty of shooters are just functional, I'd say most of them are just functional.
Man this game is infested with cheaters. In the span of an hour I ran into one who fled into the ground and proceeded to taunt me because I couldn't reach him, another who was clearly speed hacking, and a third who appeared to be teleporting. Doesn't make me want to invest time in building a base with so many casual hacks about.

Gillie suit is cool looking. The hospital , ATV, female zombies are all on the test server. Hospital is huge and very detailed. Female zombies look way way better than the male zombies. They look more like the player models going from human to full zombie which is supposed to happen one day. ATV is really fun to drive but insanely loud.
Just bought this last night, played about 20 minutes in a PVP server, got killed by a wolf in about 10 minutes. I had no idea how to run away, ended up crouching and couldn't figure out the key to stand up, died.
Good times!
Didn't meet any other players, but I'll be in tonight for about 2 hrs so hopefully I can start to build up a lot of gear.
I was however surprised by how well my comp can run the game: high settings at 2556x1440 resolution and it seemed really smooth, so atleast 30 FPS.
So far I have an axe, bow, big sword thing and a compass, so life is good.
Does anyone have any tips?
How do I display my fps?

As a fresh spawn shred your pants and shirt and pick up some sticks. Craft a satchel, bow and arrows. Loot a lot of berries for food. If you see people run. PvP servers are absolutely brutal. Be very careful looting towns.

So is this game dead? Or did GAF just stop playing?

Still a top seller and a top game on twitch. Has a large community as well. I decided to take a step back for awhile and wait for some big updates before jumping back in. They have seemed a bit lost in development last few months but they just got a new lead so hopefully they get a little focus back.

Ah ok. Yeah I stopped playing about 6 months ago to wait for some changes and decided to check it back out today. Was hoping to find some folks on here to play with but alas

Everyone starts on an ATV. There is a timer and when it reaches zero you must reach one of the very small "safe zones" around the maps or an explosive device on you explodes killing you instantly. The safe zones move around and the timer resets until there is only one person left.
Takes no event tickets. 150 people per server. 2 man and 5 man teams eventually. Will be on the test server in a few weeks.
Looks fun and very different from Battle Royale. The way the game is designed is to force people to actually fight constantly through the match and not simply camp it out.
oops thought this was in community.

Man, I'm pretty sure I hit well beyond the minimum requirements. But I'll boot up the game, and I'm immediately booted out of the game to a browser where it tells me I have "GAME ERROR - CODE G25", which basically means I don't hit the minimum requirements, I've restarted the game, my PC, I've updated my drivers, I don't even know. Anyone have experience with this?
Edit: Got it all fixed up with a reinstall, although coming back to this thread a week after my first post seems to tell me that Gaf isn't too infatuated with the game anymore, shame, it seems pretty neat, albeit limited.
