You can turn off the voice chat. However I do not believe you can turn off the text chat. Not sure if that one contains a swear filter. Though fyi from what I've seen it tends to make people mad when you won't talk back to them.

You'll also not be able to prevent the occasional troll spelling out a random word in animal traps or something on the ground.

This. People who don't speak AND linger near me will get a bullet/machete/arrow to the head. At the same time expect vulgar speech. Smed almost encourages it to happen it seems.

Hilarious video of a few guys infiltrating a Chinese gang and then killing a bunch of them from within their own base.
Oh man is that good stuff..... I look forward to stuff like this. This is just the beginning. It will get more creative as time goes on.

Just got this game last night and got to play a little bit, sticks and berries seem to be the only attainable loot I've been able to find, hopefully the patch adds something, playing on antidote as garzite.


First impression I have is even if the game in empty and lacking features, at least the controls are fluid and make it 10000x better than dayz.

Game does have that EQ feeling of running around not knowing what the fuck is out there. I'm on a hardcore PVP server and shit gets real, REAL quick. We have recipe wipe on for some fucking reason which makes no sense to me, but I didn't choose this server.

Yeah, I decided against recipe wipe. I dont mind losing all my shit to a random gank, but I dont really feel like going through the discovery process every time I want to craft stuff.

I found a huge base on Thursday out in the boonies with 6 full chests (military backpacks, shotguns, AR15, fuels, crowbars, metal sheets, 30+ sparks etc). I got a group of 3 Rerolled to loot up the place and park our alts somewhere safe. I think we have enough parts to start a good base, and at least enough car parts to get a dozen of them going. You should all get on Mumble when you get a chance, it would be much easier to manage/organize ourselves.

Most (non AAA companies) early access stuff pretty much equals, pay us to finish our game. if we don't get enough money updates will come once a year. if we do get tons of money we aren't going to hire anymore people and updates will come every 6 months. lol.

SoE is a little different since they had the funds to finish the game at the start.

h1z1 will be king of the survival/fps type games. SOE just wanted to cash grab on the instant gratification crowd by charging $20 for a free to play game. they really should have made the lowest price point $40.

The instant gratification crowd has grown so huge that people are will to pay for games that aren't even guaranteed to ever release or come out of testing.
Part of it is that games like these are built on community. After a month or two, the game stagnates and everyone drifts away (see every MMO for the past several years, no matter how hyped) killing the community. So you're left with a game no one gives a shit about because the community is gone. The only way to get in on the best part of the game is to participate in alphas and betas. So basically you're paying for the multiplayer experience, because if you miss out on it the game is going to be shit.

Who wants to play Archeage or TESO right now, even though they're FTP? I sure as fuck do not.

Airdrops are a good mechanic if they were also a bit randomly generated and not just cash shop items, the way it is now you just pick a direction and run til you find people to bow. Game needs some targets of interest to keep the action, possibly a command tower that can intercept airdrop locations and people in the know can show up and Duke it out.

They should circle around their drop zone a few times, give people more of a chance to get to them and contest them.

Need to make the radio station able to broadcast songs of your choosing to annoy and delight those that are driving around or have a radio.

Did they fix container loot yet? Haven't had a chance to play much since I took a shot gun to the face.

Damn played like 4 hours yesterday, got some okay stuff. After patch I logged in today, walked into a house and didn't hear anyone, went into a bathroom to loot a cabinet, and a guy with a shotgun was hiding in there. Killed me in one shot... R.I.P.
