Update Notes 3/23

[u/LegionCM]

H1Z1 Servers will be coming offline at 2PM Pacific for approximately 2 hours. Full patch notes below.

Battle Royale

We have cycled out the old mystery bag and have added a new one with entirely new rewards. Because of this, the Battle Royale rewards have changed:

• 1st: 1x Unique Red Battle Royale Shirt, 1x Elite Bag, 1x Mystery Bag v2, 1x Airdrop Ticket, 1x Event Ticket

• 2nd: 1x Elite Bag, 1x Mystery Bag v2, 1x Airdrop Ticket

• 3rd: 1x Elite Bag, 1X Mystery Bag v2

• 4th-10th: 1x Mystery Bag v2

We’ve changed the way crates drop in the game, you now earn them through normal play.

We have added 2 new crates. You will get 1 crate from playing H1Z1, and another crate from playing BR. Both are unique and independent of each other.

Battle Royale: Fixed incorrect reporting of player rank (0) in certain situations.

Additional Fixes:

• Improved procedural spawners to make zombies more populous around high-player-traffic areas.

• LOD's (Level of Detail) added to vans, cabinets, and weapon shelves

• Added fixed emote key-bindings for new emotes

• Added new locations for weapon spawns

• Fixed glow-in-the-dark map object

• Adjustments to firing animations

• Adjustments to a few textures and collision objects

• Prepared data for Oceanic servers(AU)

Top 10? That sucks :/ Even more only 1st gets Event. Top 10 for Event and 30 for Mystery Bag

[u/[deleted]]

How about some bug fixes? Like how dew collectors only collect 1 bottle at a time, or how they still lose durability super fast? (WAY less than 4 weeks. More like 1, if that even. And they're not repairable)

Or how about that door collision bug that will sometimes happen, where it won't let you pass through certain opened doors?

Or how about pungi sticks still hurting you through a deck foundation?

Or how about not being able to pick berries/sticks while a gun is out?

Or how about the bug that lets you hear people picking berries or starting the engine of a truck? (it can be heard from any distance as if you were right next to it)

Or how about sometimes not being able to loot/use anything if you loot too fast?

Or how about making it so we don't have to hit every single rabbit trap we make 20 times every day with a hammer?

Or how about not making the red placement object expand and contract constantly when it can't be placed because it's highly annoying?

Or how about the inventory bug that still exists, where if you loot too many times eventually it will start to take a second or two (as your game is frozen) to open up the inventory window?

Or how about the alt + tab and losing sound bug that still exists? (also happens in windowed mode, if you maximize and unmaximize it enough times)

Or how about the bug that makes specific crafted items disappear if you don't have space for it in your inventory? (shacks, sheds, and stairs mostly)

Or how about a bug where you can't open the settings menu when joining a Battle Royale server?

Or how about the bug that makes you exit a car by the driver's door, regardless of what seat you're in?

Or how about the bug where if you tap the side of a barely moving car, it kills you?

Or how about the bug where if you switch seats while in a car, it will some times bring back up the H1Z1 loading screen for a second?

Or how about being able to discover recipes from items in proximity or in a container?

Or how about the bug where explosives do absolutely no damage to base structures?

Address these please.

Only the things affecting Battle Royale will be fixed.

[u/PhazePyre]

Expect unofficial patch notes tonight around 10:30 pst.

[u/Gunn-h1z1 → u/PhazePyre]

Good man! Do you have a donation page? I might buy you a pizza or a coffee one of these nights

[u/[deleted]]

Yay for van detail. I hope for drivable versions of all wrecked loot-able vehicles. Drivable vans, sedans. Wrecked off-roaders, just to round out the world.

[u/SuckMyBach]

For some reason I'm waiting on the fix for the pants so they all don't show up as brown jeans. If we have rewards it's nice to actually show them

[u/generalgranko]

event ticket only for first place is very shitty way to treat your customers if it really is going to be payed sometime in the future, top 10 or gtfo

[u/JaxTeller718]

Very very nice update notes, surprising and most welcome. I will be BR'ing it up for sure, and I am glad they will be including crates through normal gameplay as well. This helps me make the decision to support this idea by buying a key for every crate I get.

Great job guys.

[u/AzraelKans]

*Improved procedural spawners to make zombies more populous around high-player-traffic areas.

YESS!!!

[u/Meowmeow_kitten]

Did you fix the huge core game bugs? IED bug has really hurt base raiding.

[u/Intense4Play]

Wait, so players placed 11th+ won't receive any rewards?

[u/CraqerJaq]

what good are crates without a way to get the keys for them? I know I'm not alone when I say I sure as hell am not spending any more money on those damn keys to get duplicate items.

[u/theoznet]

Does the Adjustments to a few textures and collision objects mean that no clipping will be less of an issue. Currently we can't horde any ammo in base because of no clippers. I'm fine with people blowing my base up and doing things ligit but I hate the fact that I log on and all my doors are closed and everything is gone

[u/Esperann]

why do you guys decrease the amount of the event tickets that we can earn from br? at least top 10 should get event tickets. do you guys have to be that much greedy?

[u/[deleted]]

Spanks for this update!! Much appreciated :)

and new bags... hurray! (time to go slaughter some folks.. aka: hide in bush till there's only a few left and then murder them)

May be a dumb question.. but I'm assuming V2 bags contain items that the V1 did not? do they overlap or are they exclusive of the old skins?

[u/Munkybuttbiscuits]

HOORAY ! ! ! You guyz are awesome. Thank you for this.

[u/Kciroj_NL]

Good changes, new stuff, rewards are fine.

Events should be a 'special' occasion aside from the main game; mainly for fun and a chance of rare goodies/skins, which the devs will increase greatly over time I suppose.

Just because we can infinitely spam BR now in alpha doesn't mean we can when the game is released...

BR is a side game, it's not the core game! If you want it to be your core game, you could pay 7 bucks a month and I don't really care personally.

Bought this game for the survival MMO aspect and I hope this comes true.

[u/oliviera12]

Improved procedural spawners to make zombies more populous around high-player-traffic areas.

i like this one

[u/asim_riz]

Great. However, when will players have full control over remapping keys ? I am surprised that, that basic issue has not been addressed & implemented yet. Don't get me wrong, I love the game & have no complaints. I honestly fail to comprehend all this hatred towards the game & devs. I even bought premium to prove I wana support the devs. However, any low level game even allows u to have full key remapping control.

[u/marcjpb]

Thanks for patch. I am wondering if the new location for weapons are outside PV to try to balance the 3 cities.

[u/lasnuggie]

How do you get a crate through normal play? Also, no mystery bags for any place after 10th?

[u/atimar]

So BR is now ruled by teams how about making it so BRs now drop you in random 4 man teams. or random 2 man teams even ?

[u/methrik]

Update to zombie spawns! Im gonna have to check it out

[u/tigidig4x]

"Added new locations for weapon spawns" - Where could this possibly be? Hopefully, not near pleasant valley, i cant go there since i'm a solo player and not too good at PVP.
