What can I say, EA release day, and somehow SOE believes that the server will handle the tens of thousands of players joining day 1. SOE was unprepared for the issues that would follow, constantly telling prospective buyers that they would be done within the hour, nearly 5 hours in the game finally came out, this should have been a warning to their shoddy buisness tactics, but I took the errors with a grain of salt, this was a mistake. I spent hours trying to get in (which is to be expected from a game that got this much hype early on) and finally gave up on the whole situation, I figured why not go watch streamers play, bad choice. I entered a stream where the streamer was calling in airdrops no big deal right, WRONG, throughout 3 airdrops the streamer received 3 guns enough ammo to hold a city for days, and a large militarized backpack.

Apparently even after the claims that there would be no real P2W aspect to the game (verbatim "We will NOT be selling Guns, Ammo, Food, Water...i.e That's kind of the whole game and it would suck in our opinions if we did that." J_Smedley) They took it upon themselves to change the loot that would appear in drops, and typed up a warning about this on a very underused website, just hours before release, while players were drooling over the game.

TL:DR
This game is waste in it's current state, overhyped and the developers have a sort of god complex over the playerbase hinted at by changing the game mechanics and following this up by telling people 5 hours into a shotty release "If you think it's p2w don't buy it... don't play it"

In it's current state H1Z1 is great, the devs on the other hand are mediocre, if things change in the future I will gladly change my consensus, but as for now H1Z1 is a bust.
