PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

I just found out kill cam is being added to the solo games. So far they say no go for dual or squad.

Is there a killcam system?
There will most likely be a killcam added to the solo game mode ONLY. Whether this be a camera which follows your enemy for a few seconds, replays your death or pans to the location of the enemy who killed you is not yet decided. There are no plans to add a killcam to any team modes.

 

I'm so pissed off right now. I played a half dozen rounds this evening, and the last 3 I was in close quarters combat, and every time, I get shot before I even see him poke around the corner. I see him a split second AFTER he kills me. Lag is atrocious. Sorry, but this game is borked as bad as other FPS I've played online.

 

I thought I was the only one!

I get these weird spikes, in THIS game only, sometimes, I just die. Out of the blue, lol

 

Ugh:



This is one of those games that I realize if you don't put in a ton of time up front, it won't be any fun for newbs who pick it up later on because they will never be able to get better. That's too bad because I like the game concept, just not real happy with how it's progressed so far.

 

Id just like to be able to play without crashing, Ive crashed out of most games since I bought it :/

 

Maybe you have one of the problem 1070's? Mine used to crash a lot until I used a chinese bios to stop the clock from boosting too high. Although you don't have an MSI. http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...vr-gt62vr-gt72vr-reboot-crash-problem.804978/

 

I mean I play any other game on ultra just fine. Can't play PubG on low

That was my problem. If I played games on low for more FPS or whatever reason, the clock on my 1070 would boost too high and cause the game to crash and usually my laptop to reboot. The newer 1070's don't seem to do that. Try the 3D mark test Ice Storm and see if it crashes. If it does the 1070 may be your problem.

 

I reinstall throttle stop and undervolted today and so far I'm 4 for 4 no crashes

It's a shame they postponed the weekly patch. Next week's content patch should be a hefty one though.

 

Weekly patch was delayed? I thought it was only the monthly patch that was delayed.

 

Seems legit.

 

A little bit of fun, some Mad Max at the beginning.

 

I tried that one time. Both our cars blew up.

 

Ah, my mistake. It was indeed the monthly patch. That's been delayed to Aug. 3rd.

 

Didn't go very well at the end there...
You should try using Detroit Side Step


I know it's for DayZ, but I think it should also work in PUBG.

 

This is pretty funny, or sad if you were the other team.

 

Cheating or wtf is this (last 10 secs):

 

I think it's just the same thing that sometimes happens when you're driving along and the vehicle just goes nuts. Never seen it happen with a person though.

And it would really piss me off if I was close to winning.

 

New dev blog posted http://steamcommunity.com/games/578080/announcements/detail/1438189263188767278 Not very excited about the new crates and I don't seem to get anything new in the old ones.

 

It's a shame the beanie can't be attained through the drop. Not sure what I feel about the crates as well as Gamescom crates are $2.50 with the loot being randomized I suspect. I'm curious what the new AR is as well.

 

Oh goodie, micro transactions... that didn't take long. When being the best seller isn't enough.

 

im kinda disappointed in the micro-transactions to be honest, sure thing if its free to play, but its sold 5 million copies and its not even released as a full version yet, the greed seems real........ohhh lets introduce micro-transactions instead of fixing the obvious issues with the game first......

 

You're telling me - filthy and unethical. Making the stock crates they already had simply window dressing for what could have been fun. I thought they were going somewhere good with that after a few more updates.
Ohh yeah...they've gone on to sell 6 million copies by the way.

 

The way I understand it is now you will get 3 crates, 2 of the 3 are free, if you want the third it'll cost $2.50. Paying for accessory crates was in the works all along. They just said no paid add-ons until the game was fully released, so they balked on their promise. The crates are for accessories only though, have nothing to do (supposedly) with giving someone an advantage. On the other hand, the money is going to charity and to pay for the tournament they're planning (something like $350K winning prize). But if the game is in its current state and expect to be a competitive play game, they are nuts. It's so unpolished and very unbalanced.

I have mixed feelings about it. I hate micro transactions, period. But as long as they are for accessories only and not something you need to buy to win the game, it doesn't bother me much.

 

Fair point. Ponder on this though.
What if people are getting Camo gear? Then also the valuable time others waste picking up clothes that camouflage better instead hunting for weapons.
I know it's not directly pay to win, but in the context of this game in particular it does give an advantage.

 

It was stated no camo gear in paid crates. Although it sounds like special outfits only in paid crates (like Battle Royale outfits) but doesn't really give you an advantage.

Either way if anyone can get same upgrades for free or increase their chances slightly by paying for an extra one, I don't care much either. If you could only get special camo gear in paid crates, that'd be an entirely different story. I mean if I get lucky and get a ghillie suit for free where some shmuck paid $25 for ten extra crates and still didn't get it... well, that's his problem, and hope that happens more often than not.

On the first instance of it shown that paid crates offer a decisive advantage, then I'm done.

 

Fair enough then. Yeah I'm with you on that.

 

Don't get me wrong. I completely loathe micro transactions with a passion. Optional or not I think they're cancer to gaming. But as long as it's just cosmetic I don't really care if other people waste their money on it.

my opinion of the game changed the moment they announced micro-transactions, i hadn't even seen that video HTWingNut had posted but i agree with it to some degree, if the micro-transactions are solely cosmetic then idgaf to be honest but if they implement weapons/armour/boosts from creates the game will be dead to me, and honestly the fact that they are going to implement these paid creates pre-release is in bad taste, i saw in an article yesterday that the new maps are "months" away from being released yet they have time to cash in on the popularity of the game right now........shifty if you ask me.

 

It's only for the Gamescon crates so far based on the update notice. The other two crates can solely be opened by in-game currency.

 

i get it, and i understand that the funds are going to sponsor the tourney and the rest go to charity, I'm more talking about a trend, like i said above if in the future its is pure cosmetic MTX with no "advantage" at all IE: camo, boosts, weapons etc then all good, but if there is advantage............

 

or they could have just funded the tournament with...say some of the revenue they made on 6 million sales
This sets a dangerous precedent for the game and using charity as a pretext doesn't totally wash with me. Let's hope it stops here, but I have my doubts.

 

This game is like all the others. Those with favorable ping/connection/luck support it and say you're a bad aim if you don't have the ping/connection/luck in your favor. It's dumb. I can shoot someone point blank in the chest with a shotgun with no armor and they don't die. I get shot with a pistol and die instantly. I just nailed a guy in the head with out a helmet, he didn't die. I get hit from a distance with with a level 2 helmet and vest and die... Dumb.

 

Yeah that kind of thing has happened to me a lot. It's pretty annoying. I'm usually playing with Ozzy friends from Japan and my ping is around 150. Now we've got 2 out of 4 in our squad I going to make them play and Asian servers and see how that goes.

 

hit me up (steam name: abiding) im also playing on Ozzy/Asian servers, i suck but always looking for mates to play with.......ohhh that sounded kinda creepy

 

1st person will be on the test server today and more about crates in the blog. http://steamcommunity.com/games/578080/announcements/detail/1451700696565067398

 

I'm never going to bash giving money to a worthy charity, but many do it for the needed tax credit. It has a multiple win benefit of being good PR and community building for the philanthropy and tax credits.

 

Tried a duo FPP match today and it changes the experience immensely. Added difficultly with EU servers being bugged and teammate indicators not appearing. We had to communicate constantly and stick together, experience was ultimately rewarding. Otherwise, it's a solid patch as far as content is concerned.

 

Seemed the lag is a bit better, but still get some rubber banding time and again.

That being said, made it to top 3 last round solo. But my bullets didn't seem to connect with one guy even though he was dead sights on with M16A4.

 

I've encountered a lot of sporadic rubber banding too, especially around doors. I can't take fire fights seriously until they address it properly.

 

Yep doors. And started getting "lag detected" and game pause now which I never got before. It's early access so I'll give them some slack. Just hope they clean this all up before release. Hard to believe they're going to run a tournament for $350k winning with it in the state it's in. Still too many bugs.

 

i cant even play on first person servers yet.....wonder when they will be released for the other servers............im totally over 3rd person modes, to many campers has taken the fun out of it for me.

 

1PP is it's own beast, situational awareness is key. Won my first duo, immensely satisfying. I do want to add that the SKS is a beast fully upgraded now

 

It's hit or miss for me. But since it's only early access still and stats will be reset once it's released I'm just trying different things and having fun.

 

Fortunately it's all good practice until their Q4 date for launch

 

Nope, lag not a problem... (go to about 40 second mark if you don't want to see my other BS).

 

Oh man. that sucks.
