Last week, a server wipe was actually scheduled for the survival MMO H1Z1 , but it has been postponed.
When it comes to patch dates for H1Z1, it’s a bit like the German train service during a strike: the times are more like general statements of intent, and the exception becomes the norm.
“Normally,” the live servers are patched on Tuesdays and the test server on Thursdays. Last week, a “wipe” was planned, as the new patch with the military bases would change the map so significantly that the development team deemed a map wipe necessary. It was initially supposed to be released on Tuesday, but then a decision was made for Thursday. And now it was said: This is too tight for us, problems have arisen on the test server, and the Independence Day weekend is approaching: “You know what, let’s do this next week instead.” But really this time.
They simply did not want to risk releasing a version that was unplayable – especially during a holiday weekend in the USA, when many H1Z1 fans have time to play.
This is the pre-patch stream for the patch originally scheduled for Thursday, which among other things presents the new team mode for Battle Royale:
The survival MMO H1Z1 is currently in early access on Steam for PC; upon release, it is expected to become a free-to-play title, which will also be released on PlayStation 4.
