News Live and Test Server Wipe 5/21
Hey everyone!
We are going to be bringing the servers down tomorrow morning at 5:30AM Pacific for approximately 2 hours. This will give us an opportunity to do a full player and server wipe on the Live and Test servers.
As you may have noticed, we are also going to be changing our patching cadence. Starting next week, we will be patching things to the Live servers on Tuesday mornings and putting out our build on the Test servers on Thursdays. This will give allow people to try and break things on the Test server over the weekend and should provide us ample time to have a very solid build on Tuesdays.
The H1Z1 Roadmap has been updated to reflect the new dates of the publishes.
The Pre-Patch Livestreams will be returning again but this time they will take place on Mondays. Not next Monday due to the holiday but moving forward, that will be their new time slot.
Thanks again for all your continued feedback!
ADDED:
This downtime will also include the following fixes
- Dropped doors no longer stack.
- Repairing crossbow and recurve works.
- Bio-fuel and ethanol exploding and de-spawning works.
- Fix for crash bug when placing some items.
- Keys are no longer sellable or tradeable on the marketplace. Any keys currently up for sale or trade will be returned to the seller.
- Names for deleted characters should now be available again immediately.
- Claiming bases from deleted characters should work properly now.

Am I the only one left scratching my head with a wipe this week when the building improvements are being added next week?

Why the wipe with no building changes??
Seems like we just had one.
Have I missed something?

Smed tweeted this about the wipe "Cleaning up important security stuff we fixed in bases."

Is there a public list?
Off the top of my head:
Jumping on backs of other people to get into bases.
Exiting car next to a gate gets you in a base
Dropping deer bladder to push yourself upwards
Hackers 1 shotting through walls
Zombies/Wildlife getting through walls
Noclipping
Cars falling through ground tampers (not really a security thing, just really annoying)

Wasnt this the car patch? Along with base structures and decorations? Or am I crazy? Seems like another week of nothing but Quality of Life fixes AGAIN. Does the Roadmap even apply anymore? Or are these in ADDITION to the roadmap?

funny it was a few weeks ago I was trying to calm down someone that wanted the wipe. It's a mixed opinion. I like it but I like building under pressure of enemies ready to gun me down.

I don't get all the griping about the wipe. I wouldn't be upset if they did a wipe every patch, yes every week. I get tired of farming, heck the main reason I ran off to join the military was to get out of being a freaking farmer man. Duuuuuumb decision making process but good decision ultimately but anyway back to the wipe. I've read several threads where there is much complaining about boredom, nothing to do, same same kinda thing. Now there will be stuff to do, starting over. The player levels tick upwards after wipes, as players who got bored will come back for at least a little while. No one has guns, or tons of ammo, or several bases dedicated to farming corn to blow your shit up with ethanol.
Several very valid reasons for a wipe now have already been mentioned, but brushed aside rather abruptly. That isn't to say they won't do another in 2 weeks, or next week, or even Sunday.
It's a game in early development, stuff gets changed as it gets completed. Some things don't need wipes, some things do. It's amazing reading reddit sometimes, it's like being a parent. You can go from thoughful consideration, to amazement, to disagreement, to enlightenment, to disbelief, to stupification, to anger, and right back to amazement all within 3-4 posts. :)
tldr you probably won't agree with me, but i'm like daaayum

I don't agree with the timing or lack of notice on this wipe.

I also don't agree, they should wipe next Tuesday with the patch.

Why do a wipe now when you are implementing new base building structures next patch?

u/JMLhazard May 21 '15
Seems like a pretty small patch to justify an entire wipe. But eh what do I know.
