There are a lot of sneaky routes off buildings and through cities. For instance.. everyone knows now how to jump off the roof of the apartments to the first floor so you don't take damage but did you know you could jump north to south roof to roof on the 6 white apartments cluster in georgopol?

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another
Just won a really stupid game, but the highlight was that the second last guy, who had full sight on me running out of the blue into the circle, apparently decided to try and run me over with his jeep. I stepped out of the way and shot once with the s686, and was loving baffled to see the chicken dinner appear. I appreciate style points but maybe just use a gun in future pal.

Pro tip: if you bring the oil berries to one of the busted cars it will fix it up for you and give it a full tank, but be careful the fixing noise is kinda loud.

Do you carry buckets around with you just in case you need to mash the berries up? I've stopped wearing shoes because I'm tired of getting headshot while untying my shoes to stomp the berries

wait are people complaining about third person again

if you eat berries crafted with the vss it makes the entire server first person only

Any idea involving staring at the inventory screen for a longer period of time (crafting) is an awful idea but it seems really weird to get mad at the want for first-person only servers. At least 50 of my kills have been BS like lying prone in the grass at the top of a hill or hiding behind concrete barriers while cheesing the camera and free look. Any of the smaller buildings (concrete guard towers or the small shacks) are absolutely worthless for cover since you can see the entirety of the interior without ever having to open a door.

Free look is barely even worth it currently because of the severe frame rate drop when you let go of alt. You'd think centering your camera prior to letting go of alt would keep the game from dropping frames, but I go from 80 FPS to single digits every time I let go of alt. If you're running in a straight line and release alt when you see someone, they've got a good full second to shoot at you (still running in a straight line) as GPU recovers and I haven't gotten shot in the rear end once since I stopped using free look while running. PUBG is pretty fun but it'll be much, much better when first-person servers are running.

KDR only matters if you require the validation from it. You could be a normal person and just not care and enjoy the game?

It only matters to some extent. Like my friend with 20 games and 2 kills, he looks like trash on paper and then you see that he actually does decent overall damage but doesn't get the last hit that often.

how do you get your team of 4 to shut the gently caress up with anecdotes and banter on mic when you're playing pubg? I feel like a miserably grumpy oval office if I keep telling them to be quiet, but I keep losing fights cause I can't tell if footsteps are retreating, advancing, or flanking.

Use a third-party chat with friends and turn down the volume in the mixer. No individual voice volume in-game. In-game chat is for taunting other people or mocking them when they taunt you.

Generally I think saying "BREAK" is (or should be) the "everyone shut up" magic word. That was used more often in the better DayZ days when you had groups of like 10 people on a channel and it got pretty crazy.

Maybe "BREAK LISTEN".

No one is saying it, but this is definitely not a problem that most people have when using freelook. I'll be happy when the 1st person servers appear, if only so that the minority that likes it more will be less inclined to tell the majority that it's better. Hopefully.

I'm using the most recent nvidia drivers for my 980ti and the game hitches majorly when using freelook. When I hold alt, I can spin the camera without losing frames, but when I let go of alt, the game drops from ~80 to maybe 1 FPS for 1-2 seconds. I've been killed during the hitching before because the game won't take any inputs and I'm not able to crouch or go prone behind cover. I only look around now when I'm stationary and I haven't gotten shot in the rear end yet since I stopped using it while running a week or so ago.

Third-person cameras also allow you to do bullshit like this pretty easily, which has been in the game since March and probably won't be fixed any time soon. I haven't played first-person PUBG because of the obvious disadvantages playing against everyone using the third-person camera, so I can't say whether it's definitively better or worse, but I am sorry to have somehow offended not one, but two people with my distaste for the bad 3P camera in an early, early access game.

They would have to leave their hole at some point, and they would have to peek their heads out a door or window to do it. They already camp so if it doesn't change at least they have to stick their heads out to know if someone is there.

It would save me so many times running through the woods or in a field if someone has to show themselves to see me. They can't get the drop on me in that situation unless they hear me. It would cause people to be more aggressive not less because they have no other choice. Their best choice right now is third person camping. If I run through a town and can actually see them peeking out at me because they have to in order to spot anyone, it creates more engagement.

I don't think anyone has ever raised any criticism against it, I just don't think there's been a hard push to put it in. There's some marginal negatives for non-solo queues, since you'd see right where they are, but there's probably ways around that.

In solo it would be fine. But the replay feature will eliminate the need for that once it is out.

Yeah I can definitely see why it would be a bad idea in duo and squad. I looked around on the forums and the devs did mention that they wanted kill cams at some point.

Does anyone have a problem where guns stop firing after a second when auto is on? I jumped off a Wizard's Tower/Observatory to the halfway point railing of the staircase, and despite having the fire button held down my UMP stopped firing. I died in fourth when I should've at least gotten second.

I thought it might've been the jump, but I tested in lobby and the height didn't seem to matter

Twice now I've pulled up to a parked vehicle to blast the tires (and thus screw over anyone camping nearby or anyone running from the blue zone) but after a few S12 blasts, it doesn't seem like there's any actual tire destruction that I can notice. Are shotguns just bad for blowing out tires?

nah nah stop this offence bullshit. Nobody is offended, we're talking about a loving game.

I'm with you. It's not complaining about 3rd person, so much as acknowledging why no competitive FPS game has it is because it's bullshit for a number of reasons. The only reason its here is because Arma, which in my opinion should always be the opposite direction you go in (I found Arma an incredibly unfun group of really unpleasant people all super hyped about killing people by sniping them on a hill after hiding in a bush for 20 minutes. I'm a quake player, total opposite, for me that's the height of being a camping pussy).

But hey, this doesn't even matter because the developer agrees with us and there are plans for a first person only mode. So yeah, the battle is over, we won. People that want to play third can and the rest of us can play first.

Oh that third person bug you're talking about, the lag? That's all you dude, I never get that. Neither do my friends.
