glutt! hi there, haven't seen you in a while

um, I actually haven't played in around a week, I'm not sure what the activity is like

I think most of us were waiting for loot to be fixed but at the time we had 10-15, probably less currently

maybe we could switch to your server, what are you on?

Lirik is an ok streamer but he plays whatever he wants in his own schedule but it usually includes a few hours of h1z1. Summit bounces between csgo and h1z1 and is pretty decent too. Summit usually plays with a large group while lirik is either alone or with one buddy.

You can find their vods but again, they play more than one game so you have to search the spots where they are playing it.

Thank you but I'm a nightcrawler. I guess VODs are something though.

You can usually find a few dudes lurking in Mumble at any given moment. I've teamed up with 2-3 other goons on Requiem the past few nights, but I've been playing fairly early so I suspect more people get on later.

Won my first Battle Royale last night inadvertently without seeing anyone the whole round or even firing a bullet.

I landed my parachute in the forest and ran in a random direction, coming across a border town near one of the newb spawn areas. There was literally no one around so I looted the whole area (gas stations and houses) for a whole load out of guns, medkits and a car.

Then the gas came and I drove away from it towards the centre of the map and hid in a bush for awhile until it came up on me again so I drove further but my car rolled and blew up. I ended up in a log cabin with about 6 people remaining in the round and the gas swamping the whole map. So I laid low in my cabin and spammed medkits until it was me and someone else I hadn't seen and the game ended after a 30 second timer. So, joint winners! :D

It'll turn white automatically when there is room to queue you for a server. Click it then wait 30 minutes to hopefully get in if the client doesn't poo poo itself.
The queue is for that specific server though, so you should cancel out of it because that game could take forever to restart. A much quicker way is to just keep the server list with Batter up top, then you can see the BR servers as they become available. Then you have to join in under 10 seconds or you miss out. You shouldn't have to wait any longer than 5 minutes to get a game, atleast I rarely do.

I check in on Summit once in a blue moon if there's no one else to watch, but it's kind of hard to stomach him sitting there for 2 hours waiting on servers to come up, and make actual 'stop wasting my time' type noises when a $200 donation comes in and he has to read it.

If Battle Royale was 3x faster it would be perfect. The beginning and end of the game is really, really fun, but there is a 25 minute part in the middle where I have to alt-tab and watch TV or whatever because there is almost zero risk.

It feels like it takes too long for the gas to pop up, given how fast everyone can get geared in the game it should pop up way faster.

No. Of course not. That's what I'm assuming, at least, since they didn't say anything.

E: Just kidding, it's totally fixed. And by fixed I mean Smedley frowned really hard, stamped his feet, and threatened to ban anyone breaking the rules. Everything's definitely all better now.

This is the reason why the entire Battle Royale gametype is flawed in my opinion. There needs to be more forced interactions with other players. The idea of the gas is to essentially push people closer together but even then that's still not enough sometimes. I'm not faulting you, because honestly the best way to win the game is to avoid combat but I think the idea needs to be improved upon.

Yeah, the flaws and glaringly obvious. Map is far too large and gas comes way too late are probably the biggest two things.

Same. Literally every time I got the drop on someone who was all geared up they just process-killed and popped back up somewhere. One time three of us carefully ambushed a group of players only to have them do that 5 times to try and save their gear. It's just dumb.

Maybe an exploding collar that forces players to kill another player within 5-10 minutes or it kills them? Twenty four hours is a bit unreasonable to force interaction for the gametype, and 5-10 minutes seems like a good enough amount of time to find someone in the zone.
