SOE's Greg Henniger has posted a letter on the H1Z1 to let players know what to expect (and not to expect) during the game's early access that kicked off today. Among other things, Henniger warns players that the game is at a very early stage and that there will be bugs, some bad ones likely.
The letter goes into further detail about things that are included but that are, perhaps, not fully implemented yet. Examples include knee-deep water, no climbing, character models not complete, placeholder visuals and more.
Those involved in the H1Z1 early access program are encouraged to take a look at the list to be best prepared for the experience and to be able to assist the development team with addressing issues and with making suggestions on how best to improve the game.
These are really just some of the things we want to make sure you’re aware of. Early Access is a wonderful thing in our opinion. It gives us the opportunity to craft the game with real users being a part of the experience and helping us to deliver a game with a lot more player input then we would get by waiting to release it. However, Early Access isn’t for people that are expecting a super polished experience. If that’s your expectation, don’t buy it… just wait till it’s free. We are being very transparent in our development. We would encourage you to visit the /r/h1z1 subreddit and interact with the wonderful community that’s formed there. Our developers will be interacting with players on that subreddit and you can expect that we’ll be taking the pulse of the community very closely.
