Fried Watermelon posted:The worst is when goons get pissy when people don't say their names after a squad mate calls out a direction There are 300+ people in the discord so "MAYBE JUST LEARN PEOPLE'S VOICES?!" is more arduous a task than you're letting on, people aren't going to be able to tell whose voice is whose until they've played with a bunch of the regulars a lot. It makes sense to say "2 dudes at 330 from <your name here>" pretty much all of the time for the sake of clarity, if you've played with everyone in your squad a hundred times before then sure skip dropping your name in but if you're grouping up with random people, whether it's goons on discord or pubbies via matchmaking, you should just drop that tiny bit of info in to save everyone the frustration. And I have heard people get pissy, but usually that has come after a round or two full of nonchalant "On who?"s in response to multiple people trying to call things out without being familiar enough with the people they're playing that they should know which name to associate with the voice. Carebearz posted:I stay clear of the goon discord because I honestly feel like i suck at this game and I can't really tell who's chill and who's the lovely milspergs on it. Everyone in discord is pretty bad, even the good people. For every murderspree clip WeedBabyGoku420 uses for his montages, he has a half dozen of him embarrassingly being punched or frying panned to death. You'll be in good company no matter your skill level. And there aren't really any hardcore milspergs that I've seen, there are people who are better at the game and better at communicating things but nobody is going to scream at you for not knowing how to adjust your sights(Page Up/Down, now you have no excuse  ) or demanding that you stay in a certain formation while referring to them by some wanky callsign.

Convergence posted:I just got a bug where my 4x scope didn't render on my gun for about 20 seconds of attempts. Just saw the top of the gun when I went to pull the scope up- it wasn't that I was too close to a wall or anything either, because the whole gun was visible. Anyone seen this? Lost a round because of it (though it was 4v1... but I'm still blaming the bug) I've had this happen while in a vehicle a few times, ADSing again usually fixed it but one time it didn't, maybe swapping weapons will make it work again, but unless you're trying to make a very long range shot you should still be able to approximate the middle of your screen and shoot dudes ok.

cosmicjim posted:The two responses to the scope question. I wouldn't be surprised if what Duckaerobics said about it being a stock or generic store asset is true given my experience with actually trying to use the ranging markers. I haven't spent hours testing everything so a bigger sperg might be able to elaborate, but from what I've seen zeroing works for targets in the center of wherever you're aiming(which is seriously a good thing), but range markers on the scopes are not accurate or useful outside of a point of reference for bullet drop(i.e. look at where your bullet lands and adjust aim up accordingly). Range markers on the acog might be accurate for a single gun or ammo type, but I recall actually trying to use the range markers to shoot at something 600m away with one of the ARs(don't remember which or even the ammo type) and not even seeing bullets hit anything until I adjusted my aim down and lined up a test shot to work out where the gently caress my shots were actually going and bullets were hitting well above the 400m notch on a building I knew to be approximately 600m away. TL;DR - If you want to make long range shots you can't trust the ranging notches, get used to zeroing(rebind the keys if necessary).

Flashes generally are obvious but the problem is you have to already be looking at them, so they're good for seeing which of a dozen windows someone is firing from when you already know that there is someone shooting from a certain direction and you have that last bit of work to see exactly where they are. But generally sound is all you need to get an accurate direction and 9 times out of 10 you'll have a clear view of them, whether they're on the side of a hill or just about hanging out of a window trying to shoot dudes. Having said that, flash hiders are not worthless, because if you're shooting from apartments with 18 windows on one side that little bit of decreased obviousness can be the difference between getting spotted(and shot) and being able to poke at people with something resembling impunity provided you are careful.

I've noticed that people like this generally don't improve, maybe they'll get embarrassed and chill out for a short while after someone makes a point of how ridiculous they have been behaving but they never really stop getting mad at videogames. Edit: Also he's more likely to just drive off anyone who has the displeasure of playing with him, if you play with a group of regulars and you bring him along, they'll avoid him if the group is big enough for that to be viable but they'll go elsewhere if they can't get away from him. lohli fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jul 24, 2017 |

ChesterJT posted:If you hop on discord and there's a room with 3/4 is it cool to just hop in and group up or should you ask in text chat first? Wasn't sure what goon-protocol was there. Hop in and say "are you in a game" or "do you need a 4th" unless you hear dudes already talking like they're in one and wait for stuff to settle down enough for someone to tell you how far in they are. But generally people will say "Need 1/2 in <group>" in chat when they're trying to get dudes together. Harry Potter on Ice posted:Here is one trick to getting better at this game: if you hear gunfire, run towards it, not away from it. You can thank me later Legit a good way to get good, you likely won't win the game like this, but if you never get used to actually shooting people and you only hide out you'll suck when you have to start shooting people and never get that sweet chicken dinner. Deciding whether or not to engage on groups, whether it's ambushing someone trying to loot bodies/crates or getting the drop on two squads duking it out or spraying bullets at a car full of guys, is a really big part of the game and a pretty fundamental part of trying to hide-and-seek your way to victory. You need to know when to stop hiding, and things like whether you're poorly geared or not and what the risk-reward and opportunity cost are should influence those choices at every stage of the game. And loving communicate what you want to do and don't act without letting people know ahead of time unless there is a really big payoff that you have to act on immediately(like a car driving past within 20m that you should light up), half the time someone exclaiming "I see a guy!" or "CAR!" is followed by that person's gunshots which 90% of the time is the exact thing you should not be doing, and giving your teammates a chance to respond gives them enough time to tell you that firing at the guy 400m away with your m16 with a holo sight is a bad idea. Mistle posted:*makes a buggy-based explosion by driving at a squad and their m249* Poor driving is the most frustrating way to die, I've had a few games where someone diverted to avoid gunfire, but then diverted from every other reasonable place to stop until they just gave up and tried to park in between all of those places. I'm not sure if that's more or less frustrating than the driver who won't just bring the vehicle to an abrupt stop so we can pile out but has to let the car cruise to a halt parked neatly between all the buildings we want to try and murder dudes in

Yodzilla posted:It's not a cheat, sometimes walls and their colliders fail to render and hit detection is client side for them so you're getting blasted through nothing. From what I've noticed it's not just generally failing to render, but there is some weird offset where it all renders 500m+ away from where it's supposed to. I didn't try shooting at the misplaced assets, but I was able to down a guy who I presume I shouldn't have been able to hit who looked to me like he was walking in the air.    You can shoot through the "missing" assets but you can't walk through them.

If it can be reasonably shown that someone is likely to be cheating by way of watching someone's stream to find them, like if you had the same player/squad kill a streamer 5 games in a row which is incredibly unlikely to happen naturally, I don't have a problem with their getting banned for it. If they're getting a ton of reports at the same time and acting on them with no kind of sanity check, like treating 100 reports at the same time as very suspicious or even looking at whether or not the reporters IPs were used to play the game recently, then I think it's right that they're being derided, especially if what people posted about there actually being someone who had been streamsniping but some poor pubbie who happened to kill a streamer's friend took all the flak is true.

Mistle posted:Use the pistol mags for ammo, and have it place in slot 3 as opposed to 1 & 2. How do you miss the "without making it too powerful" mark this badly? It would make it's downside of a long reload time and small ammo pool so easy to overcome that it would be pointless having those downside in the first place. The VSS is probably the only non-crate gun in the game that makes a quickdraw worth picking up because of it's incredibly low damage, ammo pool, and high reload, and is probably has it's viability affected the most by an extended/ex-quickdraw(maybe the vector ties with it?), which makes use of the rarer SR mags a good thing. And letting people run around with a third very strong weapon would be OP as hell, especially considering the built in perks it has(4x, suppressed), maybe the case could be made for something like the vector or uzi(if they couldn't have upgrades while in that slot) but even then that would likely be pushing it too far.

tehinternet posted:Truly, I'm posting garbage when I'm explaining why I think what I do -in good faith- which is then responded to with useless one liners from shitposters who have never been involved with goons who actually play this game. These sorts of payment models are usually supported by dysfunctional people who can't help but spend a poo poo ton of money, and if you look at what happened with TF2 and CS:GO you had multiple levels of gambling with people having to pay for a chance at a hat/skin and then another explicit culture of gambling with all the sites that let people bet their hats. I don't really have a problem with random rewards for special events like contributing to a tournament prize pool or whatever as long as the available stuff is all sort of worth it, I think there's a meaningful difference between the available rewards all being quite desirable and there being a 99% chance that you're going to get another set of grey pants, and I think that's a good place to draw the line between gambling and a blind goody-bag. Edit: Mister Fister posted:So shutting down everything is a necessary step for this game? I noticed my computer locked up when i had like 70 chrome pages open + playing pubg.

But people have said that upgrading from 8-16GB fixed some of their performance problems and 70 tabs is a lot, chrome is using about 1GB for me with only about a dozen open, so I wouldn't be surprised if freeing up some of that memory helps you out. You could always just monitor ram usage while you're playing and see if that's the problem though. lohli fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Aug 14, 2017 |

Just to give the first line a little more context, here's a report by a mobile games company detailing spending for their freemium games which is sort of applicable: http://landingpage.swrve.com/rs/swrve/images/swrve-monetization-report-0114.pdf Highlights:
As a non-freemium game the revenue contributions are going to be different overall(since you need to buy the game), but I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers are basically the same when only taking into account microtransaction stuff.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Asking because choco was looking for a scope, walked into a room with a shotgun, and didn't check for the scope, he just saw the shotgun and left. So either 1) he's comfortable enough identifying a scope by sight or 2) what I'm asking is true. I know #1 is more likely but if #2 is what's happening it'd be nice to stop tabbing over every single cluster of equipment if it can't contain loot for my weapon. Scopes all look different and are pretty distinct from anything else, the only ones that are sort of similar at glance are the 2x and the 4x, but you are familiar with what the items look like you can generally tell straight away whether or not what you're looking for is in a room. The exception is when there's a big pile of poo poo all overlapping.

I just heard my first pubbie teammates using voice chat and it was an incredibly angry turkish guy talking most of the time, we bumped into people who saw us first and fired on us so we took a couple of hits and he started screaming "lovely TEAM loving lovely TEAM", and then he and someone else got downed and he screamed the same thing again, and then very angrily said "YES VERY GOOD PICKUP" after me and the other guy saved the day. Later on we sort of got circlefucked but he started screaming "loving lovely TEAM" again after he tried to hide in a shitshack that was outside the blue zone and got downed by it. Surprisingly not entirely turned off the idea of playing with pubbies and voice comms.

Cage Kicker posted:Yes, zeroing is incredibly useful once you get used to estimating distances. Mostly though it is switching from 100m >200m to hit guys slightly farther away. Switching 100-200m is pretty pointless, I wouldn't recommend it unless someone is 400m+ away and even then I probably wouldn't because you can generally eyeball it and adjust if you need to.

Nevvy Z posted:Can someone explain to me how all that relates to the 'range' on each gun referred to here: There is some damage drop-off but it's not some arbitrary nonsense distance where the bullets suddenly start doing half damage or disappear, the 5.56 weapons stop being able to oneshot players without helmets at something like 100m(they do just enough to OHK at full damage/close range) and I haven't seen testing done at longer ranges where they actually put out numbers, only borderline useless stuff like the jackfrags mythbusters video where they count the number of hits to kill. But generally the range damage dropoff seems like it doesn't matter outside of edge-cases where certain thresholds are crossed and a one hit kill turns into a 2 hit kill at an extreme range. You can get a decent look at what those might be by having a look at the damage chart that gets used in the discord:  Damage values that are only a couple of points just over 100, 50, 33, 25, 20, at longer ranges will take an extra bullet to kill someone, for 5.56 headshots that range is 100m(going off a months old jackfrags video), for other guns/bullet types or extreme ranges meaning it's +2 shots I couldn't tell you, we'll just have to wait for someone with custom games to do the testing. Parallel Playa posted:Zeroing at any distance is great, what are you talking about? The only requirement zeroing has is that you need to be good at estimating distances. If you are, there's literally no downside to using it constantly. Illiterate Clitoris posted:chocoTaco advocates zeroing. Are you better than chocoTaco? I find that it's less hassle most of the time to just aim up slightly.  I've got something like 600 hours in Arma 2, so I'm not stranger to zeroing, but I'm also used to accounting for bullet drop when taking shots and in my experience ranging adjustments of only 100-200m at such short ranges aren't neccessary. Chocotaco is a very good player and it no doubt works for him, but for other less good players I feel like it's somehow overusing zeroing that will have people relying too much on hoping they got the right distance to keep things in the middle of their screen instead of learning how to deal with bullet drop and travel time together. I see it more as a crutch that I'm concerned will help players land shots on stationary targets while not really being able to deal with medium-long distance moving targets so much.

Hop in the discord and play with goons, and try stuff like playing solo and jumping into busy areas and basically just deathmatching. Maybe do the latter first because if you squad up with goons and die straight away then you're sort of stuck doing nothing until the team wins or wipes.
