Ahhh! Despite the time change, we managed to get both kids down before 9. :chord:

A nice quiet Monday night for ol' pops here-- might as well fire up PUBG. Man, that was a good round: 3 kills, a pretty dramatic finish, #5 guy. Better go upstairs and grab a drink before launching the next round-- this is intense.



:thunk:

checkmate, PUBG.

drat near exact experience for me. Good round, 3 kills made it to last 5 players, go let the dogs out before next match and couldn't get back in. Even after updating it just kept telling me server is busy.

I just got this game this weekend and so far its been 75% frustrating 25% fun.

Sorry, you're wrong and if you truly were a "very stable genius" you'd easily recognize this.

Are you that guy that yells at teammates for not playing "correctly"?


I enjoy playing it as a bit of survivalist game style. I can't stand jumping into a crowded area to play who can find a gun first. I like getting a decent kit and then move in and engage when I need to.

It does backfire a lot too, last night I got lvl 3 helmet and vest, 416 and scar all kitted out, lots of health and boost. Jumped on a bike ready to take on the world only to hit a magic bump 25ft down the road, flip the bike and break my neck :downsgun:

I would also love if they added a handheld range finder. I want to see someone off in the distance and know how many yards out they are without guessing off a map or just taking pop shots and seeing where they land.

I think everyone finds killing someone to be fun, but not everyone finds hiding in a bush to be fun. I'm confused who is the fun-haver and who is the try-hard in this situation.

I think there is a middle ground of drop in to combat to try as hard to kill them all and drop in the middle of nowhere and try as hard to hide where nobody finds you. The closing zones and being able to drop where you want lets both of those groups do their thing while keeping the game from turning into a 6 hour stale mate of two snipers on opposite ends of the map.

Where I am having the most enjoyment are the games where my squad drops in a remote area, loot the area and then trade gear so everyone is good, then move in to the circles as they close engaging along the way. This usually leads to some good small skirmishes then a large one at the end.

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)

Other games have used 3 tiered med kits of bandages, first aid, and medkits. There are other games that also use pain killers and energy drinks to boost health/speed.

The UMP9 is a Heckler and Koch UMP in 9mm, the MP5 is a Heckler and Koch MP5-k without a VFG. The PUGB uzi is an IMI Micro Uzi and the other is an IMI Uzi. Almost all games base their guns on real firearms with different names to avoid paying royalties.

All that being said sure its a knock off game but those are bad examples.

I thought I was getting better at the game having only played it for about a month and a half but when the new season started it seems to have reset the ladders and I get killed much more often again. I was enjoying playing with other lovely people that let me kill them :(

I will get crates with the BP and open the free ones but all I get is the same Polo shirt over and over again. Imagine how much money they would make if they sold the Ghillie suit as a clothing item.

I feel like those guys who have 300-500 games played are either like internet cafe account or they hot drop/drop and die so much that their average game length is like 10 minutes.



I cant ever find a gun hot dropping and will die in the first minute or drop warm and then make it 15-20 min where sometimes I tend to do nothing but chase the blue only to die as soon as I get into the zone.

I also have a problem with aiming center mass which means I land hits but it does gently caress all to them and they just duck and heal up.

I tend to play a squad supporting role, when I loot at the beginning I pick up everything I find and then dump it all for the squad to go through. I will draw fire so others can take shots, will be the guy reviving or provide cover fire (not waiting for a target to appear to begin shooting), and will head up high to call out targets for people.

There's nothing wrong with shooting center mass. You just have to learn to pull down or stop picking long range fights where you'll never have a chance to finish anyone.

close range isn't a problem as long as I have a gun, but once it hits mid to final game its more likely to be a long range fight. I get a ton of Knock Outs and not a stat whore so as long as I don't drop super hot I am happy.


I got to second place one game where my team all died so I just hopped in the back seat of a car that was sitting in the final circle and watched the last 2 squads fight it out. One squad decimated the other and the 4 of them then spent the next 3ish minutes looking for me. I kept getting lucky with the circle so I just sat there in the car as they walked around me. That was a lot more fun and had me laughing much more than trying to kill them all.

So your complaint is you have to aim with it?

CQB circle with 100-200y cross, hashes are range 300/400/500. I like it for a jack of all trades scope but will switch to red dot if clearing buildings or 4-6x for large open areas. But your "run through the city" or bouncing from town to town it is great.

in the replay it looks like lag, but my team mates didn't seem to experience it, thanks game I guess?

This has been happening all over. I was shooting at someone running and next thing I know he was teleported 20ft further off. I had a guy just appear in a field in front of me out of thin air.

With three maps now in the game, you’ll choose between two “playlists” instead of two maps.
The Battle Royale playlist contains both Erangel and Miramar. Selecting it will randomly drop you into one of the two.
The Mini Royale playlist contains only Sanhok for now.
Select both playlists to be randomly dropped into one of the three maps currently in the game.

So no more map selection?

I am not a fan of daily mission crap. I have been teamed up with multiple people who are just trying to get that objective; TKing and reviving, driving around just to get the mileage in a vehicle, etc.

If I want to play solo I play SP games and life has a way of not syncing up all the time with people I know so sometimes I play with randoms.

I would say its about 70/30 split on people who work together vs being a tag along to a discord group or people doing their own thing. Usually when I play its late and the majority of kids are gone. I tried to play with randoms Sunday evening before some friends jumped on and it was really bad in the pub pool.

Your hands do tend to block your head and body more, but it also takes your head off your center line and basically to the side. That generally means you’re harder to hit overall since you’re not just one tall target anymore, you’re a torso and legs, with a head off to the side. It is harder to aim while leaning though and I still think moving between every couple of shots is more important.

I double tapped at a guys head and first round hit and knocked his helmet off but he leaned to the side and dodged the second bullet.

I had fun the first go around but last night I played 4 games and only one was fun. The other 3 were people shooting out tires on every car and trying to push teammates off cliffs or with enough speed to kill you from fall damage. Take away FF and people see it as a challenge to overcome.

Yeah, I'm honestly surprised that they haven't made a basic response system (other than the not entirely useful emotes) considering how many people group random for duos/squads. I can see why they might want to encourage vocal communication as a gameplay aspect, but a lot of people around the world play Pubg and aren't necessarily going to share a language. So something that bridges that gap sounds A-OK to me. The less I need to wrangle which rock my friend saw a bush creep behind, the better :V.

I definitely think it should just be a map marker, as is it reminds me too much of Battlefield currently. And I like Battlefield, but I don't want its doritos spotting in every game.

A map marker is the best solution. You can still call out building/rock/tree or "2nd floor right window" but it makes it a bit easier to figure out where someone is talking about. Being able to see the markers in game like you're wearing some sort of AR getup is too much and will be exploited like crazy to make impossible shots.

The Kar98 is overpowered imo. Only a crate weapon should be able to drop someone with a lvl 2 helmet and full health in one shot. Or make it a 7.92×57mm with its own ammo that is harder to find.

Stop standing still. Kar98 has the slowest rate of fire in the game, slow bullet velocity and a good amount of drop. The DPS is horrendous, it’s only good for headshots in level 2 helmets.

A lot of high level players ignore the Kar98 because it’s not really that good.

Its not really about standing still as its peaking out landing a headshot with say an SLR or SKS and pop the helmet at the same time they fire and land a headshot with a Kar98 and I go down.

It's really only a problem on Miramar where it tends to always end in sniper wars on the rocks.

Training bots? Mimic damage of people on "paper" targets where you can set armor levels?

I don't mind that it is online and honestly hope it is on the live serve so you can see similar performance as in game. If it was offline then you don't get to practice with the lovely net code.

Not a huge fan of the new AK, I have only used it twice but the recoil is huge and spread is pretty bad. I haven't tried it for single shot long distance yet.
