this game needs more goofy dumb game modes

idea: The Running Man. 99 players in 33 teams of 3 that drop from the plane regular PUBG style, 100th player starts on the ground and is the Running Man. whoever kills the Running Man gets auto chicken dinner, regardless of how many players left in the game, but the Running Man's got buffed health, move speed, and a loot advantage to try and even it out.

or maybe a melee only game mode with smaller circles, like the lobby but with health and frying pans and sickles

the Running Man would have a permanent map marker on his head and there would still be circles, so it would basically be a mad dash for one motherfucker against 32 other teams

the lever action rifles on Miramar are fun as gently caress honestly

there should be an old west gimmick mode for Miramar: no armor and a restricted weapon list with lever-actions, the sawed-off shotgun, and the 1895 revolver (maybe reskin frag grenades to dynamite for it)

Honestly I don't mind the desert map, it's just new and needs tuning. More vehicle spawns and a better loot table would pretty much immediately salvage it.

Also, yeah, voice chat is loving staggeringly awful in this game. I pretty much only use it outside of duo/squad to micspam meme music. (On a related note, props to the guy who was blasting Take On Me last night, that was a good experience)

Regarding your edit1: I know you can set up a custom server, I'm less sure about custom maps. You should be able to make one, in theory, in the UE4 editor, but I'm not sure if the PUBG assets are open for use, so you might have to roll your own and I'm not sure how plugging it into the game would work.

Regarding edit2: PUBG is CPU and RAM hungry as gently caress and isn't gonna play nice with most other apps open, I have an i5-4690k and have to close everything to get good framerates pretty much.

I hate people that play music or just blow into the mic more than I hate the people saying offensive things. But the racism stuff is just unimaginative. There's so much you can do in the minute you have that can be actually funny without just being edgy. Read out the wikipedia page for a hentai or something.

And people who keep voice chat muted 100% of the time are missing out on the post-kill banter when you loot or get looted. I love when people talk during that even if it's just to ask how much they hit you for.

playing music is funny as gently caress a lot of the time and hilarious in solo queue if you do it right with Virtual Audio Cable

I guess apart from the MLMbux I don’t really get how hacking is fun in any way except to maybe make a little money on the side.

this isn't so much applicable to PUBG, but you need to buy a hack menu to enjoy GTA Online on PC pretty much, because 1) the hack menus have anti-hack protections that keep griefers from doing stuff like crashing your game, and 2) it lets you get infinite money so you can gently caress around with all the cool toys without having to open your wallet for Rockstar to stick a vacuum hose in

okay holy loving lol i just had the greatest thing happen in solo queue

i was chasing a guy immediately after landing, trying to box him, ate some fall damage from trying to superman punch him from a hill

he got in a car to try and run me over

I dashed up and got in the loving passenger seat and he... kinda had no idea wtf to do

eventually he tried crashing the car into a wall but i bailed and died of fall damage, and he went prone by my corpse as if to pay respects

e: my rank was terrible, but the laughs I got out of that were 100% worth it

alright, so, i figured out how to do this and here's a step by step guide because holy poo poo it's loving hilarious

STEP 1: download Virtual Audio Cable and install it

STEP 2: go in VLC (other media players may work if they let you pick the output device and take youtube videos), click the Audio dropdown, set Audio Device to your Virtual Audio Cable input

STEP 3: go to your recording devices in Windows and set VAC's output as your default mic

STEP 4: in VLC, go to file -> open network stream, paste this in, set to repeat

STEP 5: set your mic in PUBG to "Always" instead of "Push to Talk"

congratulations you are now among the Noisy Boys

owns, hope I never run into you

if discord uses your default communications device in windows and not just your default recording device, it should be possible to have an entire squad constantly screaming that's still able to communicate with each other

the extra steps would be:

STEP 6: make sure all 4 people in the squad have done steps 1-5

STEP 7: get them all in Discord, have them set their actual mics to their default communications device

STEP 8: mute the entire rest of your squad in in-game voice and tell them to do the same so your ears aren't being constantly murdered with AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

honestly, i think there's audience overlap between Fortnite and PUBG but people are probably just gonna play both

Fortnite is what you pick up if you just want some arcadey bullshit, PUBG is what you pick up if you wanna do tryhard Arma stuff, I'm personally into both depending on my mood :shrug:

e: so, should I sell crates or open them? I can get pretty much a guaranteed ~75 cents ish from selling a crate, but it seems like some of the items have a way higher potential return.

It's funny how the mobile version looks like a more feature-filled and complete game than the loving PC version :lol:

uh, what? mobile PUBG looks like flaming poo poo, doesn't have Miramar, has a UI pulled straight from the loving depths of hell, and tricks you into thinking you're good at it by throwing literally braindead bots at you until it decides you need to spend money

for a phone version of a game that barely runs on most gaming PCs, it's pretty goddamn impressive, but... it's less complete than the PC version, flat-out, and from what I gather has pay-to-win bullshit too

Just FYI if you pick up a flare gun make sure that you pick up the ammo or else you're going to be running around with a useless gun while people try and gank you. If you don't at least you'll get to laugh when someone loots your body and then begins to run around and look for the ammo while people try to gank them

alternately: grab the gun, leave the ammo, and run like gently caress in a car, preferably while doing the Serious Sam headless kamikaze scream in all chat

It really kind of seems like they're trying to push Miramar as the game's new "main" map. 2 out of the 3 event modes so far have been on it and the map rotation seems weighted heavily towards Miramar. I don't like it.

that's... that's not the argument they're making. at all. that twitter person is a loving idiot and needs to stop talking.

they're not claiming they invented loving med kits, they're claiming that this ROS game is directly copying the implementation of medkits they used with 3 "tiers", bandage, first aid, and medkit. they're not claiming they invented SMGs, they're claiming that this KO game did incredibly half-assed edits of their models (that "MP5" is literally just the PUBG UMP9 with a bunch of bits hacked off it)

Is it illegal to make knock off games now or something? What bar has to be met to make any of that add up to something that is illegal or an infringement?

Bluehole's drawn the line that if your game has substantive differences from PUBG or does something new with the formula (i.e. Fortnite, Dying Light BR, ARK BR), you're good, but if your game is literally just a direct clone of PUBG they will try to full-force gently caress you. I don't know if the law will draw the line in the same place, but that's their intent, at any rate.

Maybe I'm having a stroke because it seems pretty clear that, "being able to shoot at someone openly whilst (lol) your body is behind cover - and having only your head show" is the exact the definition of using terrain/cover.

if i'm not misunderstanding what's going on here, Q8ee's talking about a bug/exploit where people have found a way to clip their guns through cover and shoot when they ordinarily wouldn't be able to. ordinarily you'd have to pop up a little more because, if your gun would clip through the terrain, your guy will raise it up and you can't shoot; i know there's a few windows in Erangel where if you find a very specific spot you can clip your gun through the wall, so i would be very very unsurprised if you can do the same thing in a few places in miramar.

People obsessed with the war mode and think the regular game needs more loot should probably just play a different game. The whole genesis of BR games is from the survival genre.

I mean, a 100-man clusterfuck on a big map is a concept that can be taken many different ways. Fortnite feels completely different despite having the same basic concept. Red Dead 2 BR will probably feel different from both that and PUBG. :shrug:

if you don't have a smartphone just get bluestacks and pop the steam app on it, you'll lose a lot of the actual security benefit of 2FA but it'll bypass the stupid marketplace bullshit

Ok, I just am literally unaware of how the refresh rate works on a computer and was seeing if I could get away with just getting a monitor. I don't want to make a $1000 commitment on an upgrade like this. So, I'll just suffer through what I have now.

Basically the way it works is, the refresh rate is the highest FPS the monitor can show you. If you have a 60hz monitor, 60fps will look the same as 120. If you have a 144hz monitor, 144fps will be noticeably smoother than 60fps instead of just being "60fps with a performance buffer."
