I have four questions:

1. Are grenades in the game yet?
2. If anyone has grenades could they give me grenades?
3. Is there a map that I can print out? I like having paper maps.
4. Who is this by the tree is that you?

This game is very janky. It's not a problem because it's Early Access and I'm having fun regardless, but when people said this was very solid I didn't realise they meant specifically compared to games like DayZ and H1Z1. I went in thinking it was almost standard game release quality and it's definitely not that.

DayZ SA set the bar extremely low.

Hopefully I will have a new computer put together to run this before my existing i7 catches on fire.

I have a big can of dust-off nearby that should act as an acceptable class-C fire extinguisher substitute.

we've had a few new people join my group and we actively mock them until they start using compass headings

"left? your left? my left? relative to what? to you? me? are you an idiot?"

it's the first thing we tell new players and the only thing we rub their noses in if they gently caress it up, because it's the best skill to have. everyone fucks up because it's just natural to say left or right but getting hazed over it once or twice breaks the habit pretty quick

Hey at least we have IFF so no more "WHO'S THIS? IS THAT YOU BY THE TREE? BY THE TREE!!!"

Also sorry about immediately grounding the boat last night. :cripes:

I actually shot AND killed someone in-game a few days ago.

Maybe not a whole dinner but maybe that counts as a bite. Like a little container of popcorn chicken from Sheetz.

Also I had a kill totally stolen from me (while I was crawling on the ground after being turned into Swiss cheese).

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.

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".

Just built a much much more powerful system and ready to come back to PUBG! Hope you guys don’t mind an expert like me inevitably hogging all those dinners.

(As soon as I figure out how to switch from semi to full automatic. Can someone help me on that?)

(Also the SKS is full-auto, right?)

Not in game. Unless they add a 'filed down firing pin' attachment that lets you dump the entire magazine as soon as you reload it

See now that’s some out-of-the-box thinking right there.

I’d have my paper maps printed but you can’t put a “virtual puck” on them.

I have been playing a little bit more solo recently trying to get a better feel for the maps, weapons, and controls of the game. I wanted to check something - the bullets do have realistic flight times and parabolic trajectories like in games like ARMA 3, right?

No. For example Kar98 bullets move like 100m/s with huge drop, for gameplay purposes.

Geez, so depending on the weapon you need to lead and adjust for elevation a lot more... I had no idea it was on a per-weapon basis too...
