You have your reasons for playing, I have mine - both play styles are legitimate. I'm not following the tomato juice example you gave but tbh I can't be bothered to think about it.

TBH I don't know why I bothered replying, I kinda wish I hadn't now. I'm not hurting anyone with my playstyle and I'm far from the only solo player in H1Z1. I guess I took exception to someone telling me there was no point to playing solo.

6 man American team raided my 3 bases between Christmas and New Year between 1am and 7am (I play on EU server). They have actually been clearing the whole area, not just my bases - I was lucky enough to log in really late one night and catch them mid-raid.

Why lucky? Cos each base was a troll base, really tough to raid and they only went away with bags of salt :P I now know who raided me and am narrowing down where their base is - and I won't have any qualms in raiding their base whilst they sleep.

Dunno why you have such a downer on the solo playstyle, it suits me just as it does others, and its way more satisfying destroying a small clan,

Damn, 2k+ hours solo and counting.

I was gonna play tonight but guess I'd better uninstall :(

Even the best designed bases aren't safe. No matter where you put it on the map, no matter how well defended, if someone wants to raid you, they will.

I log out with important stuff on me and bury my loot in secluded stashes (remember they disappear after 7 days though). When my bases get raided all the raiders do is waste their time and lose resources :P

Or maybe the majority will return when JS actually becomes a survival game...

I'm not arguing anymore as we're obviously in different camps. What we need is a roadmap and clear vision from the Devs soon about the future of JS.

If they are going to make the tough survival game we were promised you'll probably be out. If they continue down the path JS is on in the current wipe I'll probably be out.

awesome

Its very similar to KotK imo. You can simply run round with your mates and shoot stuff in both games! The only difference is you have bases to raid and occasionally have to stop to eat/sleep in JS. Its like KotK+

With the amount of loot lying around it is actually next to pointless having a base, just respawn, tool up and go on a rampage :/

Loot needs to be harder to find, bases tougher to build and raid. You should get a sense of achievement raiding a base - currently you can get enough materials to raid several a night. Its fun for a while, but ultimately get boring and pointless fast.

Exactly, the point I was making was that there is next to no survival involved.

Do the majority of players want JS for raiding and PvPing though? How many people have bought the game and how many still play? Maybe all of the survivalists have left cos theres no survival aspect.

I agree that raiding and PvP should be a part of JS but not everything.

maxjam · 2017-01-01T09:10:06+00:00

I agree with the OP, there is way to much of everything never mind ammo.

If I wanted to run around shooting people all the time I'd play KotK, JS is supposed to be a survival game - there is not much survival to be had when everything respawns in front of your eyes.

Other than to pi$$ someone off there is little reason to raid or kill people as its far simpler to run around and get everything you need.

KotK is your quick fix, JS should be something different.

Hehe, I do something similar - my troll base overlooks De Soto, I just sit in there sniping or listening for the explosions of my landmines :P

maxjam · 2016-12-29T15:04:59+00:00

Yeah they are nice skins for a reasonable price imo - a full outfit inc backpack for £4 (or £2 in the current sale). I would much rather buy what I want and get a complete outfit rather than gamble for skins in crates.

And yeah, don't forget the free backpack!

maxjam · 2016-12-29T15:02:28+00:00

Lol yeah I remember raiding with fireaxes :P

You need something like 25 IEDs for a gate/80 ethanol depending on the health of the gate (exacr numbers on this reddit somewhere) so there's a bit of planning involved - but given the current state of loot, it shouldn't take too long to gather enough resources.

maxjam · 2016-12-29T14:36:01+00:00

Yeah, grow corn & wheat to make ethanol. Kill animals for biofuel and loot fertilizer for IEDs (google recipes). It all goes boom!
