Steam Marketplace on Test Server

Posted on
The Steam Marketplace has been enabled for the H1Z1 Test Server, please note that as this is the test server you can [b]not sell[/b] any of these items, but you can however trade them.

There is even a nice notice on them to ensure people understand this also:

You can see your own inventory by following this link:
https://steamcommunity.com/my/inventory#362300

If you have any time today we would appreciate you trying out the Steam Marketplace on the Test Server. Right now, the only thing available is the ability to trade your items with other players. No sale transactions will take place.

Your account items on the Test Server are separate from you account items on the Live Server so don't worry about losing them in the main game. The point of this test is to try and break the system. If you do encounter a glitch of some kind, post it in the comments below with detailed steps of what you were doing that lead up to the issue.

You will need to run around in the game for a few minutes before your account items will show up as available to trade. Steam inventory only updates when you start or exit H1Z1, or when you perform a trade. Right now if you open a crate, then the steam inventory will be visually out of sync until the next time you start, exit, or do a trade.

This is a known issue so no need to report it below.

Thanks in advance for your help and reports!

Test Server Patch (05/05/2015)

Posted on
Today an update was pushed to the Test Server and some new items have appeared in the game files, but as of yet we have not confirmed if these are available in-game...

M83 Smoke Grenade
In-game,
M47 Gas Grenade
In-game,

Also, the Flashbang is now called M-84 Stun Grenade:
 
M-84 Stun Grenade
In-game,

There are also some references that some may find interesting:
  • [[*key*]] Claim [*target*]
    • It looks like this is related to fixing the claiming of unowned foundations.
  • [[*key*]] Undo placement of [*target*]
    • Looking to be referring to the ability to pick up placed structures within 30 seconds.
  • You may not build structures in the quarantine area.
    • Maybe referring to restricting building beyond the limits of the map.

This all looks very promising!

Patch Notes & Wipe #4 (01/05/2015)

Posted on
Servers will be coming down at 3AM Pacific for approximately 2 hours.

We will be doing a full player/world wipe

We will be collecting a list of current players for the FREE Daybreak t-shirt grant. This grant will happen after the servers go live.

Steam Marketplace is being moved to our Quality of Life patch next week. We're working with Steam to make sure all the bugs are ironed out. This is a bigger ticket item and requires multiple passes from us and Steam. It almost made it into this patch but unfortunately had to be moved.

Release Notes:

Females
  • You can now choose to be a female survivor in the H1Z1 core game and Battle Royale.
  • All existing wearables and emotes work for both genders, including your account items. No matter what gender you choose, skinning an item or using an emote will work for both.
  • If you wish to change gender, you will need to delete the character and recreate it.
  • Known issues: There is currently limited voice for the female character. More will be coming soon.


Other Additions
  • All H1Z1 players will receive a "Daybreak Games" in-game t-shirt. You must own H1Z1 prior to the server wipe.
  • First Person Battle Royale is now available
  • Offroader now has upgraded interior
  • Green and Brown Camo beanies now have the correct texture
  • You can no longer pick up items, open/close doors or search containers while restrained
  • 380 rounds will now spawn in Battle Royale
  • The recipe for yeast now gives 2 yeast instead of 10
  • Handcuff keys are now visualized in game
  • Added a new recipe for a metal wall that has a doorway inside of it. This can be used instead of a metal gate to gain access to your base.
  • Biofuel and ethanol now do half the damage to structures that they used to.
  • The recipe for ethanol now creates 1 ethanol instead of 5.
  • Flashbangs are now in game, they will explode after 3 seconds of being thrown and will blind anyone within a 7 meter radius.


Construction changes
  • "No placement" radius around bases has been increased. The owner of the base and people grouped with the owner are not affected.
  • If the owner of a foundation does not log in for a set amount of time (currently testing it at 2 weeks), the foundation reverts to un-owned, and may be claimed by another player.
  • If the owner of a foundation deletes his or her character, the base will be set to un-owned immediately. This will allow groups of friends to "hand off" management of their base to another player.


Test Server Issues Resolved
  • You can now interact with everything in your inventory
  • Night vision will turn on and off as intended
  • Night vision goggles fit on the female model

Hey everyone!

Things are coming in a little to hot right now to patch tomorrow morning. We are going to move the patch to Friday morning.

Elements of the patch will be going onto the Test Server tonight and tomorrow morning. If you are going to leave feedback from the Test Server, use the tag [Test Server] when creating a new post.

We will be looking at your feedback and this week we have more time to correct last minute issues.

Next week and ideally we will be patching to Test Server on Tuesdays and patching to Live on Thursdays. Giving you at least 2 full days to test the current build and for us to make changes.

Wipe #4 Coming 30/04/2015

Thursday will be a pretty sizable patch. New female model, Steam Marketplace, First Person BR and more. We are also going to grant everyone a Daybreak Logo shirt to celebrate the release of our new site and logo. We will have some new crafting elements and UI goodness. We will have more specifics about everything going into the patch in the patch notes on Wednesday evening.

A patch this size and the back-end changes on our side mean that we need to do a full player and server wipe. All of your items that are tied to your account will remain but all items in your inventory and player built structures will be reset. We don't do wipes unless they are necessary and will improve the stability of the game.

Those of you who have been through it before, wear your Player Wipe One shirts with pride this week.
