[H1Z1 Updates] Welcome To Season One!

[KZG Bot]

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 a player's ability to get high kill games and nothing else. This lead to player behavior of jumping into a match, getting as many kills and possible and not caring about anything else. The new scoring system starting in Season One rewards players who can get kills AND place well consistently. We find that the skill to accomplish both a high kill and high placement game is really what separates the top players from the rest.


The formula we're using to generate your overall score comes from taking your 10 best matches as a base, and then we apply a modifier to it based on your average kills per match and average match placement for the season. The important thing to note here is that if you perform poorly over and over again, you can find yourself sinking into a lower Tier.

Along with this new system comes a new reward structure in the form of the Victory Crate - you can read all about that right here[www.h1z1.com].

We're continuing the tradition of rewarding players at the end of every season based on what Tier they landed in. Here's what you can expect out of Season One:



We want to thank all the players that joined us on the ride through Early Access and the various Preseasons. The feedback and data you were able to provide during that time was invaluable. And now, without any further ado…welcome to Season One!
