A foreword from our General Manager, Anthony Castoro. "Today's patch is huge, not just because it contains tons of content, or that it's the start of the first new Season since early November, or even that the game now has a new name. It's also huge because it represents the first big delivery on the promise that the new NantG team made when it took over development last September: Bring back the game that so many of you fell in love with in the classic "King of the Kill" era around Preseason 3 at the end of 2016 and in early 2017. Since September, the NantG team has been as transparent as possible about our goals and plans and many of you have stuck with us through th…

[H1Z1 Updates] Server Maintenance 11/7
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 595 views
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…

[H1Z1 Updates] Steam Community Market Update
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 562 views
Today we’ve updated H1Z1 with additional Steam Community Market support. Previously, only locked Crates could be traded, but starting now, all tradeable items from within those crates, along with tradeable special event and giveaway items, can be traded on the Steam Marketplace. We’re excited to bring yet another option to all of you, allowing each player to put their unique spin on their in-game personality. While some games on Steam allow for their in-game items to be listed instantly upon being added to a player's inventory, H1Z1 will retain the current 7-day waiting period before items can be placed on the Steam Community Market. This helps to protect players against…

We want to make sure that everyone still has a chance at the rewards, so we are continuing to work on the Events system so we can open them up to the rest of the world next week. The Swagnum Opus Skirmish will be available from now until 10AM PT on Monday, October 2. To play, select "Skirmish" from the "Play" menu!View the full article

[H1Z1 Updates] Test Server Schedule
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 408 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…

Play a Game: We’re really close to getting everything that’s on Test over to Live. We’re going to be doing one final playtest today on the NA Test Server. Please join us today from 4pm – 5pm Pacific (handy tool to find out what that means for you time zone). Myself and the team will be playing DUOS only, all other game types will be locked. We’ve made a few small adjustments to recoil based on survey feedback. Please keep all your feedback in this thread. If everything looks good and smooth we will proceed with the plan of bringing down the servers tomorrow (1/17) at 7am PT for a game update to Live. No prizes associated with game performance for today’s playtest. AR-…

Play a Game: Hey everyone! We’re pushing out a new build onto the Test sever today and we need you to help us give it one final stress test before we call the all clear to get this baby to Live.

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. ENAS movement restrictions no longer incorrectly trigger during normal left and right turns (such as navigating hallways in a building). Players now move slightly faster with fists out or while holding binoculars. Tightened up the new spawn areas in Combat Zone so that you don’t spawn too far from the action. Match start countdown is now 45 seconds instead of 90 seconds and broadcasts less frequently. Fixed an issue that was causing lat…

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…
