PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Those vehicles are really double edged swords, save your life and betray you all within minutes!

 

Austin Walker and Patrick Klepek finally got a chicken dinner recently. Fun video to watch.

 

that video is everything that i think is wrong with the game.........1 and 2 kills....win the game, i get it, camping is a thing, but i don't see any fun in it......i love their excitement, but meh.

 

Beauty of the game is that there's no wrong way to play it. When the circle closes to the final spots, there's 3 factors to winning that chicken dinner in my experience: reaction time, positioning, and blind luck.

And Ping...

 

RNG? and i might agree with you unless the end zones end on towns etc, then campers are rewarded.
i dont like that the game rewards certain play styles more than others, for example camping is rewarded if rng flavors you, while being mobile is a much harder way to play, at least for myself, and dying to some guy that has rushed to the white zone and camped buildings takes the fun out of it for me........of course i could avoid buildings, but im not good enough to drop into the hot zones so i need to loot buildings for gear.

for example last week i went to a group of 6 buildings, killed a guy in the main building on the ground floor, then heard a guy moving upstairs killed him, looted bodies moved to the next building cleared the bottom only to get shotgunned by a third guy camping the stairs, three campers in two buildings.............

 

I won't disagree that camping can't be avoided in this game, but it's also one of the few games that legitimately has an anti-camping mechanic with the DOT volume that closes in. Ultimately all campers have to move at some point and buildings generally have one or two points of entry, which are prime for ambushes.

I've only found RNG to be a problem when landing in high traffic areas that can be avoided by gliding and rocking the chute to a further location from the flight path, or finding a vehicle immediately. The TPP camera is also very generous in avoiding campers being able to peak unseen while clearing rooms cautiously. Or alternatively playing with a maniac and throwing any various of grenades in that forces them to take cover before sprinting in guns blazing, that shock tactic catches people off guard (had a teammate do that and ended rambo'in an entire squad).

 

Except when the first circle shows up you have a good idea of where you can camp safely without having to move the rest of the game. I only camp when I'm cowering to save my own hide. But honestly, I don't think camping in FPP really helps you nearly as much as it did in 3PP. Just hope they fix the "player height" issue in first person.

 

I hate reddit You post something and try to make a valid point or ask a valid question, and it immediately gets downvoted to hell, because those people can sit on reddit all day and read every damn post.

 

PUBG reddit has turned into a toxic cesspool.

 

still waiting for the fpp mode to reach the other servers before i play again........hoping it wont be to long....

 

It's turned into just a bunch of fanbois that pat each other on the back, and that the game can do no wrong. It's a perfect masterpiece apparently.

I do like the game. The game is good, but lacking in so many ways that could make it great.

 

PlayerUnknown shared it on Twitter so I think I can share it here.

 

It's about damn time...

Although I'd rather they fix the missing/morphed building glitches first. I made a post on the PUBattlegrounds Reddit and wow that place is vile. Was called an idiot and a liar despite providing screenshot and video evidence of the issue.

Man, when a sub goes to hell it really goes.

 

I love dearsomeone's videos. Newest one out today.

 

Kar98 isn't OP at all?

 

Some of those hit boxes look 20 feet wide.

 

Exactly. If everyone was actually that good of an aim, we'd have a legion of snipers in the military. I hope they tighten it up a bit before final release. There's a lot of stuff I hope they do before final release. In that video you posted, pretty fun to watch. But it's hard to believe that they are having a tournament worth $350K winnings with the game in that state it's in.

Buildings that don't render in, vehicles that explode or flip over and kill you on a whim, super wide hit boxes, seen many videos where shotgun did like zero damage to enemy even after getting hit 3-4 times point blank.

 

Patches won't be out as often but hopefully better quality. Changes to Scheduled Patch Rollouts - http://steamcommunity.com/games/578080/announcements/detail/1451702599154637352

 

As long as they focus on fixing and improving the game, I don't care how often they update. The game in Early Access is still fun. I'm OK if they delay the final launch by six months still.

 

I hope they can offer a bit more in the way of servers. I'm finding more and more that ping is king in this game. More so than other games to a large degree.
I play solo or duo with a friend on AS servers and we're usually drawing first blood and racking up kills. Then I can play with that same friend with others in Oceanic servers and I'm pumping guys full of lead and they'll still drop me.

It's the nature of Ping but they need to be more specific with Server locations.
For example for me to play in Japan with Australian friends usually Singapore is the best half way point with good infrastructure. Having server regions isn't specific enough. Add to that there is no ping report.
I have a feeling that a lot of this is still coming down to netcoding not being up to snuff too.

 

Hopefully they can work on networking problems before final release. Does it show any other stats in the interface?

 

Early Access Week 21 Update - http://steamcommunity.com/games/578080/announcements/detail/2781390484561132315

We will deploy a small patch at 3PM KST / 11PM PDT / 8AM CEST without server maintenance.

Early Access - Week 21 - Patch Notes

Bug Fixes

• Partially fixed client crash
  
• Fixed marker graphics bug on the World map
  
• Fixed miscellaneous bugs with team game reconnect feature
  
• Fixed a bug that caused a player to exit a vehicle when they pressed 'F' to cancel using an energy drink
  
  

 

Nope. Nothing regarding connection quality.

 

I don't imagine many problems when I get this since it's looking like USA region has good dedicated server support, but if it has other problems it would be good to know about.

 

This is a first... lol. What happens if I don't confirm?



Just got done with a round. 4th place. I just took out a guy, but had to inch ahead from safety of my rock because blue screen, er, wall of death was encroaching, and as soon as I poked forward, BAM! headshot... OK. I'm dead.

 

Press "F" to die.

 

After a 2-3 second lag... you finally do.

 

I'm still impressed they're able to implement a reconnect feature into the game, despite the informative and unintuitive dialog pop up.

 

LOOOL!

 

LOL! Embrace the bullsh!t.

 

new shadowplay feature for added bragging rights!

 

Really thought this was going to die down eventually but now I'm hearing about a console release? Think its about time I get into this. I hear performance is just terrible on high end PCs though.

 

Performance isn't too bad. It's just that you NEED 16GB of RAM and highly suggest installing it on SSD, otherwise there's higher risk of textures not loading at game start. I'm sure this stuff will all be fixed by game release. And it makes no sense to run graphics at highest settings because it puts you at a disadvantage for seeing other players.

With my 1080 Ti, i7-5820K, 32GB RAM, installed on SSD, I get about 60-70FPS on average with medium graphics settings. So yes I guess performance could be improved, and hopefully it is. Especially the for the graphics fidelity, the performance could be better.

 

Performance when it came out was dismal. It was about as good as Arma / Day Z. But after a few updates they addressed performance to a large degree relatively quick ... enough so I'm confident they're commited and going to have this game running pretty well in the future. This might be one of the few pre-finished games we don't get shafted on.

 

I run most settings on low on the laptop in my sig mainly just to see other players better. I normally get at least 100 fps. Anyone tried the HBAO+ (or whatever it is) that was included in the new Nvidia driver for PUBG? Also the New Shadowplay for PUBG? The Shadowplay doesn't seem to be working well for me. I haven't been able to play for a few days. Waiting on a new mouse.

 

Yeah it's running pretty sweet now isn't it. Just a little more work on consistent servers and netcode and I'll be a happy chappy.

 

I can't wait to play the new desert map!

I hope it's not a camp fest.

 

ive been playing on FFP servers this last week, and what a difference, im really enjoying myself again, i have to play on Asian servers until FFP mode reaches Oceania but i don't care its so much more balanced and fun, bring on the new maps/vaulting etc

 

I love FPP. I doubt I will ever play 3rd person again.

 

They just need to make your character... a little taller than Tyrion Lannister.

 

lol .. yeah definitely. PlayerUnknown has said they will keep improving FPP. I hope that is near the top of the list.

 

They need to update their anti-cheat. I had two full squads wiped in first minute last night at school by one person in different spots.

 

There are definitely cheaters. I was panned to death by someone that wasn't even around.

 

Well well...

 

So more like Oddjob height?

Looks like they're deploying a new patch soon!

 

We've been working on the new build and will deploy the update next week. Test servers will be up for at least 2 days early next week.

Cool, fog should be interesting. I hope they fix the FPP munchkin syndrome soon.

 

This more than anything. Annoying as hell.
