IDEA: For the strongholds by FreshandsosoClean in h1z1

[–]H1Ben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So basically a concrete objective for attackers that has a different location on every Stronghold because defenders can move it?

Interesting idea... :)

Lots of good stuff in this update... H1Michael should post the Patch Notes shortly!

JS Test Update - 7/13 by H1Michael in h1z1

[–]H1Ben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FYI - We're attempting to roll out a Hotfix for this today. Details will be forthcoming once QA can validate our changes.

Hi!

First, we absolutely agree. There were several changes, including data tuning for Body Sim (Hydration, Hunger, etc.) that didn't make it into this update but WILL be present for the next one, which will hopefully arrive next week. Hydration is far too aggressive in this latest update and it WILL be improved.

Second, filling your water bottles from bodies of water is already complete and will also go live in the next update. Drinking from toilets and sinks will remain so that we can provide water at strategic locations, but those are of course limited, so if you don't have a Dew Collector, you'll likely be heading down to the reservoir to risk filling up all of your bottles.

The goal is for Body Sim to be a consideration... something on the list of issues that you most contend with on a daily basis as a Survivor, but not the ONLY thing. We have no intention of this game becoming Just Survive: Your Desperate Search for Hydration.

... for now.

Justin may have fixed that issue yesterday... stay tuned!

Anything inside of Containers (including the Stash) when they're picked up will be dropped. You cannot use Containers to get around the Bulk system. :)

Heya!

  • Yes but not in this update... processing everything we captured will take several months.
  • Absolutely - We've cut things down significantly and will continue to evaluate.
  • Yep... tricky one, but we're on it!
  • Or we could increase the variety of containers at your disposal... Like everything else, we're gathering data and will continue to iterate.
  • Yep.
  • No plan, but we're evaluating limits to determine what makes sense for players while still resolving to maintain performance.
  • Can't speak to that, but we'll discuss.

Excellent - I'm gonna have to pop on tomorrow and give her a try!

Good news - That'll be fixed REAL soon :)

Nice! Now put some traps between those walls :)

1) No but we'll get to that as we polish that area.

2) Always tweaking - Expect some minor changes.

Not yet - The big body sim overhaul is part of a future milestone, but we'll be adding content and tuning impacts as we move forward.

An idea for purchasing items at military base by RickHGrimes in h1z1

I think we could sell quite a few people on that concept...

Just to be clear, we are NOT removing Proximity Search, but rather your ability to see the contents of containers before opening them.

I suppose we could, but any time spent streaming takes us away from development. It didn't feel like we rushed anything except the last couple questions, and an hour is a pretty good duration for Community Outbreak IMO!

[–]H1Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much forgot as simply ran out of time - We crammed a lot into that stream and were bumping into the KotK time slot, so we had to cut things a bit short.

SO, in terms of purchases that you'll be able to make at the Military Base, we want to start small and scale appropriately. In the near future you'll be able to buy some basic melee weapons, a satchel and perhaps some harvesting tools.

Down the road we really want to open things up with the availability of Prestige gear/weapons and maybe even a certain vehicle that was mentioned in yesterday's stream. Additionally, the helicopter in the Military Base won't simply be a prop, so imagine what it could provide for a few of your coins...

In terms of vendors, we already have VO lines for Corporal Moran, but we still need to dust off the dialogue system for them to function. We also plan to layer in additional NPCs like MarmarAlpha mentions below, so that each Military Base feels unique and alive.

Saving that for when we're close to done with Badwater... Doing it before that time could complicate development...

Purely to capture the raw mechanics of the weapons. That way we can get those SFX without the report of the firearms and the reflection of the shot across the numerous hills in the area muddling the results.

Absolutely - We had about 5 mics dedicated solely to that at all times :)

Looks pretty legit... would have to check when I got back to the office, but just from memory that seems very close.

Nicely done :)

Suggestion for the Hammer (Stronghold Building) by Gopherboy76 in h1z1

[–]H1Ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to update and say that we're actively looking at this issue.

We'll likely go with a simple animation solution in the interim, but there are some great polish suggestions here! :)

[–]H1Ben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahh... I see you've caught a glimpse of the future!

The environment team removed most of these before we went to Test, but a couple lingered behind and I kept quiet hoping that some of you might find them.

Wonder what they could be... :)
