While you're waiting for Sony Online Entertainment to get servers up and running I would like to recommend Binary Domain, that is available on steam for $15 and it is pretty fun and a decent use of 10 hours of your time. The robot murdering is satisfying, and there story is dumb and good. Rumor has it there's some mouse issues, but I played it on PS3 with a controller without problem.

The air drops weren't supposed to be cosmetic, they're "supposed" to be non-pay-2-win because people could, in theory, kill you and open the airdrop themselves. My question is how close they drop to players and how visible are they from a distance.

EDIT: Also it sounds like they're going to throw more hardware at the login servers in the next half-hour to an hour, so maybe I'll be able to join the initiation some time tonight.

Yes they were revealed months ago as containing cosmetic items, and they have been quoted saying there will be no way to buy weapons:

Smedley posted:

We will NOT be selling Guns, Ammo, Food, Water... i.e. That's kind of the whole game and it would suck in our opinion if we did that.

Buying an item that gives you a weapon when you open it and saying that's not selling weapons is laughable. Yes someone could shoot you when you're trying to pickup your airdrop, just because they make it *hard* to buy weapons does not take away from the fact that they are selling weapons for $$ and going directly against the reason a lot of people bought into the game.

I know buying weapons is what turned me off from Planetside 2, so when they said the micro-transactions were not weapons in this game I thought I'd give it a shot.

Meh, there is a minimum player count required to trigger an airdrop. Seems fair enough, someone pays for an airdrop, X amount of players get a chance at getting items. They also don't drop right on the person that calls them from what I understand, they just drop somewhere randomly in the map.

I barely read about the game but it was pretty obvious months ago that the airdrops would be Good poo poo that people could fight over.

At this point the population density seems low enough that you can just clean it up yourself but thats probably because no one can log in, hopefully it'll be insanely loud and obvious to anyone within a couple kilometers

Also, the cosmetic stuff they're selling sticks with you every time you respawn, that's the stuff that smed sez will never be weapons/armor

Do you honestly think anyone in their right mind would pay 10 bucks for a crate that can be spawned anywhere on a 8x8km map that will grow even larger?

From what I heard it uses flares of sorts.

SOE may suck quite frequently, but at least they tend to be talkative about game mechanics, fixes, etc a lot more than most other game companies.

Here's a new mini-rant from Smed about the airdrops: http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/2slbmc/airdrops/

Regarding the G99 error: John Smedley ‏@j_smedley 13m13 minutes ago

G99 errors and login errors are all the same issue and it's being worked right now. Sorry it's not fixed yet.

I watched bikeman play for like an hour without dying to random bugs, so it seems pretty stable in that regard.

I saw that french streamer go from house to house though; zombies can apparently sometimes bug through doors/walls if there's like 10 of them wanting to kill you outside.

I got in after a few tries, but now there are no servers on the server list. Games really need to make game options available on the launcher so I can set it to windowed mode before I enter in the game.
