This game gets so good <15 players when everybody scrambles to build their tower. I got lucky and was able to build right in the middle of the next two circles. bug chaser chaser fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Sep 27, 2017 |

I have no interest in not-pubg and I like the regular game but I'm glad people are enjoying it because maybe they'll want to relax and shoot some zambos later. Also apparently the pubg man is mad at Epic for this existing now lmao.

From what I read, bluehole are upset because they hired epic to make modifications to the unreal engine for pubg which they then turned around and used to develop a very similar competing product. They aren't upset about pubg clones.

Wait, can you seriously not change what shoulder you aim over? I mean, the game is fun enough for a free title, but come on, that's some basic poo poo.

I like how there's a 15 minute queue to get past the launcher but then in game the matchmaking server is down but I'm watching streamers queue in game after game.

I love how the PVP addon they said wouldn't influence the PVE side of things that everyone bought into has now made queue's for the PvE side because too many people are playing PvP.

What I don't understand is the 1:30 warmup time where you can't really do anything. I assume it's just there to hide a longer load time.

So like, are there, or aren't there, a ton of people waiting to play this game? Why does the wait time have to be arbitrarily 1:20 and not like, when we get 100 people?

The wait time for the game to just start is pretty annoying. Almost all my games get to 100 players ready with a minute to go.

Snak posted:But before I even get to that screen, I see things like "121 players in server" The "121 players in server" you see at the party screen is how many people are currently queueing into matchmaking. Sure, the wait time on spawn island is probably arbitrary but it's there and isn't a big deal. It's a good safety net for when people leave the lobby for whatever reason they leave.

Like, if it's really just because it's using that time to load the whole map, I can't complain too much. But if it's really just an arbitrary delay, it's really annoying. edit: ^ do I need to queue for 10 minutes because there are less than 200 people waiting to get into a server? These things don't line up.

Snak posted:To log in to the game I had a queue. Once I was logged in, everything was normal. I don't know how to explain this without sounding like an rear end. Lots of game companies have queues when their servers are under unexpected heavy load. Hell, it even happens when they expect it because companies aren't going to buy more servers in the short term for the launch than they will actually need for the long term life of the game. The queue once you're in the party lobby has nothing to do with the queue you had to get in the actual game. They can only handle so many connections to the overall system at a time. Once you're in the game, you're in a rotating queue for a bank of servers they have allotted for BR mode.

But if there are so many people playing, and each lobby has 100 people in right away, why do those 100 people have to gently caress around for 1:20 before we get to start the game? Like, I feel like I know what's going on, I just don't understand why the wait time is exactly the same every time unless it's arbitrary. In which case, my complaint is the arbitrary wait time.

Probably because they didn't know for sure the Battle Royale mode would be so popular, and implementing a fixed timer is much easier for everyone involved (developers & players). It's predictable. Maybe they'll release a patch that lowers it in the future. They had to pick SOME number, and 90 seconds does not seem like a bad place to start.

Ok I figured out how this game can be fun. You just jump immediately and land in a populated zone so you can get straight to the action and not run around wanking your dick in the open breeze for 15 minutes hoping you see someone before they see you. The problem with this strategy is that you die early and have to sit in a long rear end lobby again frequently. Maybe I just don't get this mode but drat if it isn't dull as hell. After watching PUBG streams I thought maybe playing a battleground map would be more fun but nope, it really is that drat boring.

pretty dumb how rare sniper rifles are in this game. It seems like I get one to drop maybe every 5 matches. why are there no white or green sniper rifles? also the AR's are so inaccurate its not even funny, I just lost with 3 people alive because of the retardedly high bloom, I was aiming literally right at him from like 15 Ft away and couldn't hit him. Snipers, the scoped AR, and shotguns are the only guns worth a drat it seems, and snipers never loving drop I just want to win drat it, I'm coming so close but every time die to some bullshit

There's probably a very good reason that isn't immediately obvious. One reason I can think of immediately is that it keeps people from getting hosed by the lobby. If I join and I'm the 1st person, I'm going to get a drink or chill. If I'm the 100th person, I'm immediately on the bus. You don't know which one is going to happen until AFTER you join and that's not good at all. Bottom Liner posted:Ok I figured out how this game can be fun.

I find some sort of sniper rifle in almost every match I've played. Might be pure luck. Who knows. I will agree that the ARs blow. The burst AR is growing on me though and the scar is more accurate than the "M16"

I click a button that says "play the game" and it tells me it's trying it's best and connecting, and I connect. Then I wait again, for an arbitrary amount of time. I've been ready since I clicked the first button. Literally every other multiplayer game works this way....

A cursory google search seems to show that the lobby is for people to have time to load the game. Also, you're missing a very key point. If you're the first person and you click play what happens? Do you go to spawn island? If you do, are you going to get annoyed at that? The more than likely arbitrary wait time is for probably for consistency. Overwatch has a "setup" time that probably needs to be a 1/3rd of what it actually is. In the grand scheme of the game, it's a pretty tiny thing to get worked up about.

We're talking about a game that lasts between 30 seconds and 15 minutes. Why shouldn't it have minimized wait times? Snak fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Sep 28, 2017 |

Because games on PC especially have to be made with the lowest common denominator in mind. There may be some guy whose potato PC takes over a minute just to load into the waiting lobby, for him, he only has a 20 second wait. Don't get mad at the game, this has been a standard feature in games of this type since the genre has existed. In fact features like this are a staple of all PC game designs that feature any kind of multiplayer.

I think the Fortnite-PUBG will be improved if they add new dances, and make so the character can walk/run while dancing and the hitbox changed realistically while the character dance. This will make it the best game ever, basically.
