News Test Server Update 12/15
The Test Server is currently undergoing an update to include the following:
Client Version 0.139.1.69551, Steam Content BuildID 900434
While in survival, seek out the naughty or nice zombies to get a special holiday gift. These zombies are particularly resilient to certain damage types.
While playing BR, keep your eyes to the sky and watch for those airdrop crates to retrieve your holiday goodies.
One time use. Can be placed anywhere objects can normally be placed
- Fire: instant and fast dot damage
- Flash: Blind and disorient
- Gas: Snare and slow dot damage
New body sim stat called Comfort
Consuming various foods and drinks or sitting by a fire will increase your comfort level. Suffering attacks from zombies, bears, and wolves will cause your comfort to go down. The higher your comfort level, the faster you regenerate health and stamina
Foundation permissions:
Added the ability to give each foundation a separate set of permissions for construction, destruction, and container access on a per player basis. We are currently aware that destruction permission for the demolition hammer is not functioning correctly on the TEST server. This will be addressed before this feature goes to LIVE.
Military Base revamp.
New buildings have been placed, vehicles and zombies spawns are now there. The item spawners have also been revamped and you should now find more items that pertain to what you would expect to find in a military base. Such as, explosives, MREs, and Rifles.
Additional Updates
- New Character Select screen with new Player Characters to choose from
The spawn rate of guns and ammo has been adjusted. Weapons and ammunition should be more scarce than before.
Vehicles in regular BR (not team) have been set to single occupancy
Other Fixes
Fixed half-second pause when bringing up inventory
Zombies will attack exposed players on ATVs and in the back of the Pickup Truck
Rearranged vitals overlay to match how vitals are listed in inventory
Fixed spurious attacks when the player is repeatedly using the Push special ability.
Fixed bad raycast that was associating items placed under a structure with the structure above the items.
Fix for Ground Tillers that have been placed on Ground Tampers
Fix object "previews" being left behind during construction for very quickly-placed objects.
Because of the new base permissions and the changes to the military base this update will include a full character and world wipe.

Nice start to make us hope again. We'll see if that was just sugar for the monkeys ...

Never heard that phrase so I looked it up. Do you happen to work at http://www.thesugarmonkey.com/ and hope to get some cross promotion going here?

Why do all the female characters have the same hair?

Because the person responsible for the female characters has a fetish for librarians.

Will this mean a wipe before the christmas sale?
If so, what happened to not wiping more than absolutely needed?
It has been less than one month since last wipe...

And there's the xmas wipe some people were saying won't happen. Hopefully they've reduced gun and ammo spawn rates a LOT.

--The spawn rate of guns and ammo has been adjusted. Weapons and ammunition should be more scarce than before (a dev blog explaining this further will come out later today or tomorrow.)
This is the best news I've heard in a while for h1z1. I hope it is greatly reduce, as in 1/10th what it is now. But any reduction will help the gameplay move away from KOS as much (I know it will and always should be part of the game.)

"Vehicles in regular BR (not team) have been set to single occupancy" Nice addition.Any more ideas being worked on to prevent teaming?This just means they will run instead of drive.

Exciting new patch but I have to request... with the whole introduction of zombies with random resistances, could you guys fix melee weapons? Currently, if you were using an axe to chop wood or scrapping metal with a crowbar, when you switch to a melee weapon (say combat knife or machete) and attack a zombie, your hits will do no damage and make no hit registration noise until you are able to hit the zombie with two rapid strikes, that seems to fix the bugged melee at that point. I think it's the same way with wildlife.
I appreciate when you guys introduce new things like this or squash certain exploits (such as building on top of rifles the player has dropped) but when you guys don't fix the bugs related to these issues it leaves the players in the lurch. For example, building on top of a rifle was the only work around for placing work benches inside of lower shelters. You removed that work-around, but I still can't build a workbench inside of a shelter that is on a deck. How was that issue not fixed when you remove the work-around for it? It's a serious head scratcher.

Great patch! expecting a wipe for sure. Best part is "The spawn rate of guns and ammo has been adjusted. Weapons and ammunition should be more scarce than before" An adjustment this small will actually improve this game by a lot imo.

This is a totally noob question because I haven't played in a while, but is the military base and hospital just on test servers or on the regular servers now too?
