Anyone else have a problem when you're in a firefight and the escape menu pops up? I'm not sure what triggers it but it's like a weird combo of maybe w f r and shift??

New event is out since last night and it's fun on the bun! :dance: Getting to run around in a ghillie suit silently taking people out crossbowing them is great practice I've never had with it.

Doing that poo poo first person is super stressful and great when you're pretending to be a bush and firing off bolts at a squad that's jumping and panicking everywhere only to get blown up by a grenade or blinded by a stun.

Super satisfying to run down someone and chop em down with machete or dome them with the pan.

This is wrong. If you aim at someone's head at 100m, you'll be lucky to hit their feet. It goes straight up to about 30m, at which point you will start wanting to aim slightly above the head.


At 100m you should be using the 3rd dot to aim at people. At 50m you use the second.

Speaking of Shroud, here he is not giving a flying car gently caress.

I flipped my poo poo when I saw that last month or so my friends and I encountered Wadu on Erangel, sniping people with a loving Saiga, and just watching the car he was driving glitching around the map in the air. We were pinned down due to his loving hacking, eventually we just said gently caress it and tried to kill him since we knew we were going to die by him anyway. Needless to say we all died but the entire time he was trying his poo poo sales pitch on us, and one of my friends was squished like a bug smashing the car ON TOP of him. That was pretty hilarious. But gently caress that guy.

New chute system is weird to get used to. When going full horizontal you're going at least 40k/m faster than normal server and falling faster as well.

It also makes it a way bigger gamble to try and long drop just in a chute, your speed is around max 30-35. So you're hanging in the air a lot longer.

Feels really smooth though and I appreciate the left shift button to tilt straight down. That and the tactical roll into running when you land is pretty loving great.

Dev letter retooling the Vikendi weapon spawns.

https://www.pubg.com/2019/01/22/20999/

It seems super weird that a map like Vikendi is geared towards SMGs as opposed to say Sanhok. Or at least what they are saying it's supposed to be. Especially when late game turns into sniper fests, and it's never guaranteed you're going to be able to loot the people you kill, or run across some bitchin sniper rifle or DMR.

Edit: Not only that but at some point some update retooled the footstep sounds, and you can hear people from FURTHER away. An SMG can't really do any significant damage if you get the drop on people from far away so it kinda makes SMGs even more useless unless you drop into a heavily populated big city area.

It is an incorrect play to do anything else. Even if you whiff on vehicles and can't get in, you can loot up and fight the winners, or get plenty of easy kills on others who failed. If you do get lucky on your vehicle spawn, you get kitted and stocked full of attachments and meds and also get to murder like 10 people for free.

The right thing to do is wait for plane to have a super bad angle and jump for the nearest vehicle and make a beeline. Otherwise all the other cities will be safer to drop at with more loot

I like AL so far, it feels a little like Quake Arena in the setup eventual large roster of characters with different abilities that you can choose to pony up for or not. Hopefully they can keep it balanced. I do like when you're dropping into an area it can tell you the range of loot you're going to find, that's really helpful in getting a hang of what you want to find and where depending on plane drop.

Tandem 3 person rocket flight is neat especially the different color trails makes it so easy to track who goes where. I'm hoping they stick a duos mode into it soon. Solos I can see being really broken depending on the character choice, so maybe a solo mode that disables your abilities and ults.

It really is a novel idea of the respawning mechanic, high risk to bring back someone completely.

Gripes would be mag size are super loving low even with an extended. Overall it's a fun casual experience. Hopefully it has staying power. And new maps are free to play on, cause gently caress Blackout's model of paying for new maps.

"remove the red zone" is on a sticky note on the back of the dartboard where it is safe from accidental glances

Why would anyone want that removed? They're incredibly easy to avoid, and if you die from it (like I have) it's because you're dumb enough to think you can avoid it because you're going too fast on a vehicle. Or you aren't paying attention until you hear the doom whistle right on top of you and it's already too late.

It's the worst RNG element of the entire game that can easily be gotten rid of by... just not having it. Sure, you can run to the nearest hut and sit inside of it for 30 seconds. But why....


Thanks!

First off, drat good play with the smoke! Secondly the worst rng of the game is when you run into a town and it's full of nothing but gun parts some ammo and nothing else for at least a full circle.

B-Mac posted:

It's a dumb feature and you're a dumb dumb for defending it, you dummy.

How is it dumb when it's easily avoidable? For almost everyone it's practically a non factor, unless it spawns right on top of you. It so rarely kills anyone anymore that when it does it's HILARIOUS.

I've got friends who sometimes aren't loaded into the game by the time we are in the plane. It's been pretty annoying having to drop onto one of the smaller edge cities because I had to wait for them to load in. I'd never get to visit pochinki if the waiting time was cut in half.

I rarely ever hot drop into Pochinki the initial lag is just immediate death for me. Same goes for the other bigger cities, it's always nice to explore in duos or squads quasi out of the way places that let you properly gear up that you can keep in your back pocket in case of a favorable plane angle.

Plus we are all cowards that enjoy playing the slow to mid pace, unless it's a game like Quake Champions or Apex.

Weirdest loving poo poo happened just now, two motorcycles one two seater and one three seater just loving burst into literal flames tires popped the works. Anyone else have this happen to them? It was at the set of houses just east of George containers in the garage with the second floor.

Edit: I'm spectating my duos partner and we both think this poo poo is happening to the entire map. Every vehicle he comes across tires popped.

Edit2: No firing on any vehicle, BUT proximity to the George mountain may have been some weird rear end glitch. Happened to every vehicle around it.

Funny enough, this past Sunday two friends and I were 3 man squad in daytime Vikendi, get to like fifth place killed by headshots from a dude with an MK 14 with a six times. Turns out he kept wiping EVERYONE else out the same way, and not only him but his other partner as well.

Was fun to see like 10 spectators on one dude and 11 on the other as they murder cheated their way to the end. His friend didn't make it because the server removed him from the game. We play TTP on NA so we see a bit more cheaters than what's other people encounter on FPP, but two on the same squad just openly cheating with hacks and not trying to hide it was kind of hilarious. More so when his partner was straight up removed.

Edit: OH and they were Western players too. Name and all.

Has anyone else had a lot of stuttering recently? The last week or so has been rough as poo poo, not sure if they screwed up a patch or what but my duo buddy has been experiencing the exact same thing.

Yes at first I thought it was discord, partially was disabled the hardware acceleration and now run at a solid 60fps for once, but if I have my comp on for a while then boot up the game it will stutter have frame drops etc etc. I just essentially do a quick restart of my entire computer and then it goes back to normal. I seriously don't see how they continue to build this game the way they do. It's fine one time and next it's sort of a mess you really don't know what you're going to get.
