In the zombie MMO H1Z1 , the servers will be offline today, April 2nd, for 4 hours. A major patch will be deployed between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM.
H1Z1 is slowly taking shape. In the first few months, many of the teething problems that plagued the zombie game were addressed, and at times, players stumbled around like a newly resurrected zombie, still a bit uncertain. That phase is over, and now new features are being introduced. We summarize the patch notes for you in German.
The patch also brings another server and player wipe.
So today’s patch aims to introduce a new revised model for the “dam”. This is the largest structure on the current map. Once revised, it is intended to be used as a key point for large server-wide events. From what is currently known, the idea is that the survivors want to generate electricity again with the dam and thus find their way back to civilization, but this attracts zombie hordes.
The second major change is the new male model. This will likely replace the current model and has higher quality. More models will come later – including female ones.
The third change concerns zombies: there will now be fewer of them, but only on “less populated servers.” Players had complained about a zombie plague since the last patch. On already crowded servers, no changes will be noticed. Additionally, they want to ensure that zombies more strongly follow the “heat map”: appearing where players shoot or where important items are located. The starter areas of H1Z1 should now be populated mainly with slow zombies, so that new players have a chance to get away.
And as a fourth feature, “workbenches” are introduced. Here, ammunition and weapons can be disassembled. From the remnants of weapons, repair kits for their own weapons can be crafted. From leftover ammunition, the suitable caliber for their own guns.
In addition, there will naturally be bug fixes and balance changes. The H1Z1 roadmap has already presented plans for the rest of April.
