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. We could really use your help in the final hours. One of the last bugs holding this publish back was a crash related issue. We think we've got it but we need to test it with some scale. Sorry for the late heads up but the fix just came in and we can't sit on it. Jump into Solo matches during these times: * EU Test at 12:00pm - 1:00pm PT (9:00pm - 10:00pm CET) * NA Test at 2:00pm - 3:00pm PT Other members of the Dev team will be in there so keep your eyes open for those red names!

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 out of Early Access, it's time to put Preseasons behind us and get started on the culmination of all that work: Season One! Here's a breakdown of our new Scoring System now that we have data to work with and we understand how players are behaving. Seaso…
