These are inherent problems with the map being bad, not an issue with the circle system.

True enough, guess we'll just have to see what the other maps look like.

tehinternet posted:For sure. I'm just saying what a pleasant surprise this game is in terms of quality right off the bat especially when compared to years long development slogs like DayZ. Yeah, its a really fun genre that is marred by a whole bunch of extremely poorly designed games. H1Z1, DayZ, The War Z(I think it was called?) off the top of my head. I hope this one at least irons out the kinks if not taking it further and refining the game with more maps and modes.

Didn't think I was going to like this as much as I do. It's my first BR game (other than one round of H1Z1 back in the day). So far my best is 20th, with 5 kills in one round (3 using the O/U Shotgun with a choke). I happened upon a guy and merced him, then people kept coming to loot the growing loot pile and getting buckshot in the rear end for their trouble.

I think with some map improvements (add buildings in particularly density areas, NE may as well not exist) and some more intelligence on where the circles spawn (not in the middle of the ocean and not always in the same gd area, make everyone run for it sometimes!) it'd be pretty much perfect in those regards

Stalber is super abandoned but the circle closed over there one time and it was super interesting watching everyone try to climb the mountain to the ruins.

Orv posted:The game ending in open fields with like, two trees to either side is a lovely way to do it, and it's what happens 90% of the time. Every time I die to it it feels like complete garbage because there's no way to tell where the six or nine or whatever other people are going to come from, and you have no cover. The few times it ends on cities or the in-between groups of houses or something are way better because than you can have cool, skill based firefights instead of whoever enters the circle last basically reaps victory because everyone else died with no options. I don't know, I've enjoyed both the empty field final locations and the built up cities. The former being particularly frightening as you wonder "How the hell are there 15 people in this empty field" .

The clip Launders got into a fair use fight with Frankie over showed it clear as day. there was some pretty convincing evidence in his own videos that he (frankie) had god mode enabled (blinking yellow temp icon, unexplained fluctuations in blood between cuts where he had no blood bags or food, bomb blowing up in cherno church killing the 15+ ppl around him but not him?) and a battleeye bypass (modified debug monitor) for dayz mod seeing as ive played cs since there was a scope on the m4, his bhops were definitely not legit can't say for sure if he is cheating in this game, though; i don't watch his videos the takeaway is that comparing yourself to highlight reels and possibly tool-assisted gaming is not gonna make you feel good about your own skills

Pulled out my first win last night in a 3 man squad after about ~50 matches and reaching the end game quite a few times. My buddies jumped on right when the game came out so I'm behind their curve a bit. Towards the end we were walking the circumference of the circles pinching into where they're basically tangent and that (based mostly on luck) kept us out of the line of fire. Near the end the white circle was like the size of a kiddy pool and there were 12 people left some how, threw some smoke bombs in the direction we thought they might be and they duked it out, we cleaned em up. My buddy that also started late and I play duos and purposely jumped into highly populated areas for a while to get more combat experience knowing full well our chances of winning were nill. This definitely helped getting over the jitters of fighting and getting used to the gun play. Goo P-Nut Sack fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Apr 12, 2017 |

Played 4 games so far, managed to kill a total of two guys with my fists right after spawning. Reached top 9 once, mostly through just winding my own business and moving slowly towards the zones and then dying the moment I ran into a guy who was heavily armed while all I had was a pistol. The metagame is a little strange to me, I was trying to play very cautiously as one would play solo in DayZ but I got the hunch PUBG kind of expects you to just play aggressively in the initial stages and stock up on as much firepower as you can as otherwise you will be kinda screwed later on. The game seems cool and pretty intense so far but I still need to 'get it', I guess.

Well both methods work. You can be high risk high reward or a sneaky scavenger. If you're the former then you'll have better gear via cherry picking the best stuff from the guys you kill. If you're the latter you'll need to pick an out of the way route from the fringe to the center that hits up a lot of spawn locations to be as well equipped as someone who katamaris a bunch of dead people gear. The best though would be a mixture of both. Play safe but really go for it if you get the drop on someone. You don't particularly need to be a waking arsenal at the end. It's just optimal to have a gun with adequate ammo and some armor when you get to the center. Maybe a sight.

Honestly all you need to win late game is an assault rifle/red dot and level 2 armor and helmet. Anything else just makes you feel good about yourself. If you have those and some health items you can hide until the last circle and be just as competitive as the dude with full bags and 17 kills.

Is there any way to tell where the play area will recede to before you jump, or is it just luck not to wind up on the other end of the map? Also - shotgun house camping early game is really fun. Your level 2 armor aint doing poo poo for a load of 00 Buck to the face.

Being in the middle of the current circle makes it more likely you will be in or close to the new circle, but AFAIK the new circle placement is random.

I can't wait for this to get optimized, it runs really well on my rig (it's a good pc) but my fans are loud as hell, so I had to crank the settings down and my speakers up. Listening closely for people legging it around outside and pumping a few rounds into their backs after they pass had gotten me the vast majority of my kills this week. Most of my deaths have been while creeping up on a building and I suddenly get lit up from an upper window. I jump a fuckin mile every time it happens too, this game has a really cool way of getting super tense very early on.

I escaped a bomb area just in time and ran into a nearby house. Collected some things and as I walked out, I saw someone parachuting in. This had to have been at least five minutes into the match. I opened fire a couple times to try and hit them, but got sniped from someone else because I exposed myself. Really wish there was a kill cam of some kind to see how where they got the drop on me so I can learn for next time. Great fun in this game so far!

Kill cam would be nice, but only for solo play. I managed to wipe an entire squad by myself last night with the double barrel and a grenade. I was like solid snake sneaking around walls and poo poo, even with the new super loud footsteps they didn't notice me. That gun is great because you can kill people in the two shots it has in it.

I got a jacket worth $1.50 on my first crate. That was kinda nice. How long after I die does my voice still transmit? Like if I want to talk poo poo to the guy that shot me as I am being looted, for example.
