[H1Z1 Updates] Launch Day Producer's Letter
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 411 views
Today marks a momentous milestone for the team, our players, and the game -- H1Z1 has officially launched out of Early Access! H1Z1 has come a long way since we first released it three years ago. It was a unique project at Daybreak, which started with a small group of developers who were given a mission to “make something fun”. Over time, that mission evolved into one of Steam’s best-selling titles of 2017 and put Battle Royale games on the map. H1Z1 is the fast-paced, competitive battle royale game it is today because of you, our players. And, with 3 Invitationals, 3 Showdowns, 2 Elite Series stops, 1 nationally broadcasted tournament, and a Pro League[www.h1pl.com], yo…

[H1Z1 Updates] Welcome To Season One!
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 336 views
Starting with Preseason One, we set out to make H1Z1 as competitive and rewarding as possible. We added Team Scoring for Duos and Fives to continue that trend. With each Preseason we shook up the point values and Tier distribution numbers and made future decisions based on previous Preseason data. We gave out rewards for end of season placement and players were fully sporting their accomplishments in-game. Now that we're leaving Early Access, it's time to put Preseasons behind us and get started on the culmination of all that work: Season One! Season One comes with a new way of evaluating overall player performance. During the Preseasons, Royalty was solely achieved by …

Hey everyone! We appreciate all the feedback already given so far. We want to reinforce a few points. 1.Provide your direct feedback via the in-game survey. Posts on Reddit are great to share your experience with others but the survey will be our main point for collecting player feedback on this particular topic. 2. Please set all of your visual settings to default. You can up the quality and resolution as you please but we need to get feedback from a universal standard across all players. 3. Do not use any external tools to adjust the colors while conducting your experiments. This will skew you results even if you only use them lightly. We are going to add two addit…

[H1Z1 Updates] Test Server Schedule
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 351 views
In an effort to get more Solo matches kicked off (because that's where you'll experience the majority of the new features) we're going to be locking the Test Server and only opening it for certain hours in each region. We understand that this might be inconvenient for some players schedules but it should lead to a better experience for most. These times were determined by peak population data in each region. We'll be rotating what is open during these times but starting tomorrow, Monday February 19th, we will only have Solo games available. Keep an eye on this thread for updates on what modes will be unlocked and when. The Test Server will be open during the following t…

The newest update is coming to the Live servers on 2/5 at 7am PT. Downtime is expected to be 6 hours. In an effort to get back to the roots of H1Z1 we made the following improvements. MOVEMENT CHANGES Dodging enemy fire by sprinting and whipping your mouse around (ENAS) has become far too effective while creating extremely odd combat encounters. Therefore we have taken significant steps to address issues related to this by making adjustments to both the movement system and its values to improve gameplay and nerf ENAS. The details are provided below. Added functionality that slows player movement on rapid mouse input to combat ENAS. Reconfigured how player heading u…

Play a Game: Hey everyone! We're cleaning up the last of the remaining issues on the Test Server in preparation for a push to Live on Monday or Tuesday.

The Test Server will be brought down for one hour tonight, starting at 8:30pm PT to add the following: Seat-swapping and drop-shotting have disabled on this build while we debug other issues.

Most of what is covered in the blog below was also visually explained on a recent Community Outbreak: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/222719994 What’s up everyone! We wanted to take a few moments to talk about an important topic amongst the players, streamers, and pros alike: ENAS. For those who may not know, ENAS (also known as the Eastern North American Strafe) is a method of movement that involves moving your mouse back and forth rapidly while running forward and strafing to make yourself extremely difficult to be shot by other players. We can give credit to the naming to CDNThe3rd and the technique has become so popular you can even find it in the Urban Dictionary[www.u…

[H1Z1 Updates] A Discussion About Voice Chat
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 395 views
Voice chat. We all know and enjoy it inside of H1Z1, because it allows you to communicate quickly not just to teammates, but other players in-game, without needing an outside service. As we’ve seen over the life of the game, having in-game voice chat can be both outstanding and lead to some entertaining moments, but it can also lead to some unwanted toxicity among individuals and groups. We also understand that games of skill will often bring about some creative trash-talking which is accepted in most cases, but some individuals have been pushing that a bit too far, leading to a vastly toxic playing experience. We recently rolled out a new system that will help keep vo…
