Big thanks to everyone who came out to ask questions and provide some feedback. We tried to stick to the answering questions around the future vision[www.h1z1.com] of the game and the three new weapons[www.h1z1.com]. Here's a recap of our Q&A. You can find the full Reddit thread right here – Anthony Castoro Q: 1) With player counts at record lows compared to record highs in earlier seasons why has the current direction not been halted or reverted? 2) Why do you guys continue to do major patches every 1-3 months vs smaller updates? 3) The community has continued to ask for a reduction in POI's yet more keep getting added every patch? 4) You guys state that y…

As we’ve stated since the transition, our number one goal is to maintain Z1BR game service while we evaluate the steps required to continue supporting the game. As part of this process, we want to provide our players information about the game as internal decisions are made in real time. On Tuesday, April 30, we are ending Season 3. We are also shutting down South America servers at that time. This will consolidate our Americas player base on North America, speeding up queue times and ensuring Z1BR's other servers continue to operate for the vast majority of our global community as we lead into next Season. As of this time, we plan to kick off Season 4 on Tuesday, May 14…

Servers will be coming offline for a game update at 11am PT. Downtime should be approximately 4 hours The time has come to bring this build to the Live servers! This particular update has truly benefited from direct and constructive feedback from the community. Let’s jump directly into the improvements coming to the game: Weapons Tuning Shooting a weapon in aim mode now primarily uses recoil instead of cone of fire to penalize rapid-fire. More info here[www.h1z1.com]. Bullet drop has been significantly increased for all weapons (excluding shotguns and bows). Hellfire 4-6 SMG Tuning Increased damage per bullet by 16% This reduces the bullets to kill to 6 (from 7), with…

What is up everyone! Today’s update touches all the guns in the game. We’ve brought back one of the most iconic game mechanics, fine-tuned the accuracy of the guns, and adjusted bullet drop and speed. There’s a lot to this update, but before we get into the details, we’d like to acknowledge and thank everyone from the Test Server and Focus Group who provided feedback to help us bring the best version of this update to life. One of the most notable additions from today’s update is horizontal recoil on the AR-15. As one of H1Z1’s most iconic game mechanics, it should feel quite familiar to those who have been around a while. Horizontal recoil keeps the firing pattern kick…

The Test Server is now unlocked! General Manager, Anthony Castoro filled in some extra details on upcoming features in a Reddit post here. Combat Practice We’re rolling out the new Combat Practice zone! It’s going to be your destination to get your hands on all the weapons in the game so you practice your skills with other players. We think it'll be a great place to sharpen your skills or just to warm up before you get serious in for an evening (or morning) of Battle Royale. It’s a much smaller map than Z2, designed to highlight each of the locals from our current map so you can practice fighting in the hills, neighborhoods and city areas. When you die, just respawn ri…

[H1Z1 Updates] Z1BR and the Road Ahead of Us
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 551 views
First off, thank you all for your patience as we worked through what’s next for Z1BR. We have a deep love for this game. H1Z1 on PC, after all, is the OG BR game that launched the most popular genre in the world, and many of us have spent years working on it. We know as well as anybody how much the landscape for battle royale has changed over that time; but we still believe there is a special something to H1’s unique flavor of no-frills BR. The dev team at NantG did an amazing job bringing Z1BR back to its roots, but the sudden transition left the game in today’s uncertain state. The challenges are real and significant. But we also know that many of you love this game…

We’ll be bringing the servers down tomorrow (11/7) at 8am PT for maintenance, the downtime will be approximately 4 hours. This maintenance will not include the content we recently pushed to Test last Friday. That content needs more time for feedback and adjustments tweaks before we push it Live. While we are performing maintenance on the servers we will push a small number of fixes out as well that we detailed earlier. • Starting a reload at the same time as entering a vehicle should no longer result in incorrect clip size or situations where the gun appears to be reloaded but is still empty. • Entering a vehicle while reloading should no longer prevent the player from…

Grab your 4 best friends (or 4 strangers, we won't judge) and hop into Arcade mode this weekend to check out a brand new mechanic - revive! There are rewards waiting for you too...read on below for all the details. Arcade Mode - Revive Fives! This weekend, a brand new ruleset comes to the unranked Arcade mode - Revive Fives! These matches are just like Fives games with one big difference - a revive system has been enabled so you can pick back up your incapacitated teammates. If you're a fan of two-tapping your victims, not to worry - a headshot is still a kill (there's no coming back from that one!) Revive Fives will be available in Arcade mode starting at 10AM PT on…

As many of you saw last Friday, NantG officially announced their decision to transition Z1 Battle Royale back to Daybreak. Like you, we were reacting to that decision in real-time, and are still digesting what that means for the game going forward. That means we don’t have all the answers yet, but we can offer our immediate plans for now until we are ready to share more. We can share today that servers will remain up, that we have no plans to change the name of the game, or make any other big changes that will affect your current Z1BR gameplay experience. Our number one goal throughout this entire transition is to make sure there is minimal disruption to the game’s serv…
