At first glance the only annoying thing is that there are a ton of servers. Can a character hop between servers or no?

That means we bring the talents of a coalition of tens of thousands, honed over a decade in nightmarish internet space-war against impossible odds in one of the hardest and most obtuse games in the world - and all of those nifty tricks directly translate into H1Z1: our coordination group, our recon section, our fleet commanders, our logistics division, all of it has an analogue in H1Z1 due to their common lineage descended from Ultima Online. You do the math.

How the hell does any of that help me ambush retards in a bathroom with a machete? Don't get me wrong I have enjoyed my time playing with Goonswarm related communities, but I fail to see what any of that eve poo poo has to do with anything in H1Z1, besides that you have doods and a mumble.

You have a different character on each server, probably with the same name. You don't have to level into weapons. You only have to equip them. The goon base is stocked with weapons. Go there. Equip yourself. Try not to kill other goons. If you want to try your hand at crafting, the bases are stocked with enough stuff that you'll save many many hours of wandering around finding stuff on your own.

So what server are most goons playing on? I really like that it isn't that hard to get equipped again after you die.

Wow, it figures that the imp zone would be jealous of the talents of a coalition of tens of thousands with a common lineage descended from Ultima Online. Instead of dissing the hard work of the unquestioned, dominant imperial power of EVE online, maybe you should try out this video game with Goons. After all, they have the best mentoring and newbie training system any guild, clan, or coalition has ever seen, for all your fun times, and more

When playing solo learn how to make land mines, and always carry one. That way you can mine your body just before you bleed out.

I read the OP and a few posts in between. I really enjoy hearing about all the EVE antics. But I don't play MMOs and I don't have a ton time to invest. Is there a way to be a valuable cog in this game and have fun, while only hopping on intermittently? Sorry if this is a question that has been asked a billion times!

That's where situational awareness comes into play. If I'm out solo scavenging and I hear pubbie voices/footsteps/gunfire I'll bunker up for a few and keep a low profile. If I can get an idea of where they are I'll setup an ambush. You'd be amazed at how many people simply aren't paying attention to the world around them. I've shadowed groups of players many times, waiting to pick off one or two when they separated. The best part is if they are using ingame coms you'll overhear their efforts to find you after killing one, so you can adjust. A couple of nights ago I overheard some pubbie telling his friend that he had just found 30 rounds of shotgun ammo on a zombie (If you die to a zombie, and your loot isn't recovered another zombie will spawn with your loot). 30 rounds is actually a significant chunk of ammo in this game, for shotguns I usually just carry 10 on me. I wanted that ammo for my horde. It would save me literally an hour of scavenging ammo 1-2 at a time and melting them down to recraft into shotgun ammo. Not to mention he may have other stuff I want. These guys were opening discussing where they were hitting in the town they were in "First the police station, to get more ammo/guns, then the church to get the night vision goggles that spawn there (Inexplicably)." No use ambushing them in the police station, why not let them collect all that ammo and bring it to me? Besides I probably wouldn't beat them there. So I hoof it to the church and close the door behind me (Door opening gives me a critical second to react, and alerts me in case my mind is drifting, so I close doors behind me to act as mini alarms). I hear gunfire down the road which means the police station was probably contested, but you'd be amazed at how many people wander in there solo, so I'm going to stick it out. Besides two other goons are on the way from the base to pick up NVG's as well. I can just hang out here then leave in force. About a minute goes by then a single guy pops the door to the church. One rack of the shotgun and he's done. I kick the door closed again and proceed to dig into the spoils. He had on him a compass (Super useful!) a proper map (Semi useful), about 200~ rounds of random ammo he had scavenged from the police station/that zombie. A helmet which I was lacking so I shoved it on my head, and enough food and water to keep me stocked for hours of rambling around, along with some explosive components (Which are annoying to get, so thanks!) All in all I got an impressive amount of stuff that would have equaled a few hours of me rambling around getting it on my own. And I got some sweet night visions. EDIT: All in all I got enough poo poo off his body to fully kit out another two goons to go wander and cause havoc. Rhymenoserous fucked around with this message at 22:10 on May 8, 2015 |

Okay bootlick, we need you to go here and do this. That is pretty much all I care about doing and having fun at it. Killing other unsuspecting players and teabagging them for fun is an added bonus.

Good god, this game needs *horses*. Breed them, harvest their poo poo for fertilizer, feed them crops, hydrate them, craft saddlebags and buggies for moving cargo/people...and most importantly, hard code them to *stick to the ground*, unlike vehicles which can skyrocket and flip at the slightest bad collision with an object. And unlike vehicles, you should be able to *shoot* from a horse, and in emergency situations, shoot the damned thing and harvest the meat and fat for biofuel. Obviously they should be more fragile than vehicles. I'd also say the game needs ATVs and motorbikes, but honestly the thought of something smaller that moves *faster* than the truck or Jeep would be fodder for Youtube videos at this point. Also, you could pretty easily if zombies were real harvest *their* corpses for biofuel.

I'm too cheap to buy this, but if any of you scam any j4gs into joining, eve style, tell them they have to buy a gift version of the game and give it to me. Then I'll log in and kill them or something, I unno. This game looks and sounds like a massive clusterfuck but it might actually be fun to just gently caress with people in weird ways.

Has anyone had time to mess around with the infection mechanic? So far I'm down to the DEADLY stage of the infection, and I've run into a couple people but I can't seem to track them by any sort of billowing cloud of gas like the patch notes seem to imply. Eating people is a lot of fun though.

Apparently zombies still follow you around when you're infected, even though they won't attack you. I just ran through cranberry at night with an army of zomzoms sprinting after me. I can't wait to run into someone.
