Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:have any specific examples? Ive played a decent amount recently and have never been killed in suspicious ways, if they're cheating theyre doing a drat good job of hiding it I saw a YouTube video of a wall hack. In the video the guy died outside the circle to circle damage...  I guess cheats only go so far?

it would be dope if there was any visual indicator at all of what general direction you were being shot from. getting two shot to death out of nowhere in a top 10 suuuucks and it's happened to me like 6 times now

Xachariah posted:I... Don't know that game. Get in discord and try to get with people who have played Arma/DayZ type games. This game -and other games like it- is much, much less about the traditional being good (shooting, aiming, etc.) and much more about being aware of your surroundings, being able to call out where people are (ex: bad guys at 330, 200m out or so; they're headed towards us), knowing when to stop talking so your teammate can hear the people flanking around and knowing where that loving boundary circle is/where it's going/ how much time you have til it moves. Give me someone who is a poo poo shot, but works well with their team over a pro-tier shooter who can't call poo poo out any day of the week.

Yeah, I'm like a 0.75 K/D but my squad loves me because I have eyes on the back of my head. I'm usually the strat caller, we have a dedicated marksman and the other two have mutant aim and just John Rambo poo poo. Most of the time, unless we get a top 3, I'm the last alive and get our finishing position above where it probably deserved to be. This game is like 50% positioning, 25% looting, 20% RNG and 5% shooting skill.

Usually on the plane in I'm like "I want you all to know that no matter what happens I love you and think you are good people". Then when someone kills me it's usually "Man. That was a good shot!" or similar. My favorite during gunfights is "Hey! Come on man! Can't we just hug this out?"

iirc the cheat engine PUBG uses is good and they will be doing bans in waves. spending $30 + whatever the cheat engine costs won't hold up for long.

Every game has/will have cheaters. So long as they don't get as common/blatant as they were in DayZ, I'll be alright. The developers have shown nothing but competence thus far, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm really digging how all my deaths have been the result of getting stuck on waist high objects any other video game character could easily jump over. Even concrete barricades with holes in them clearly large enough to go through are actually just deathtraps. It's the best.

Here's a dumb idea for a different game mode. The closer you are to the center of the white circle, the more "points' you get per tick (can be 10 seconds or whatever). Thoughts?

I got one earlier where I hid in a bathroom with an S12K and just murdered anyone that came in before closing the door again. Every time I shot someone I yelled "CAN'T A MAN poo poo IN PEACE!?" One guy started screaming something in Chinese(?), one guy laughed, one guy didn't say anything.

Jesus, I dunno if it was the patch or something, but the performance issues have jumped into overdrive for me. Five games in a row, each time the buildings around my landing zone did their N64 impression and were uninteractable. Didn't matter whether I jumped into a busy zone or just a tiny group of houses in bumfuck nowhere. And while the moment-to-moment framerate is stable, every so often there'll be half- to full-second freezes. And these are particularly likely to happen anytime I take damage, which generally translates into an instant death sentence.

cheating can really gently caress over this game so i did some research instead of being productive at work. somebody in this thread mentioned how easy it is to to edit textures to make them transparent and repackage the texture libraries in the unreal engine using photoshop. since im im a graphics person I looked into it and and i have no idea what that guys talking about. i read a few things pulled up from google, and doing this pretty much requires you know how to gently caress around with code, unreal engine, and some other devious/specialized poo poo. there were a few forum posts about programmers talking publically about reverse engineering the code and using cheats they made from previous unreal games inside Battlegrounds (with proof), but were not sharing. I'm glad that poo poo is not public (at least not as far as I searched) and sounds rather complicated unless you know your way around code. I could not find any websites actually selling any cheats. there was only one website that said it's in the works and will be released soon, and at least 30 pages of entitled shitbags demanding a cheat be released i'm glad I at least got to play this game before it's ruined by cheaters

When you play Siege these days, one of the more entertaining additions is a global announcement in the killfeed whenever someone is banned by it. You see dudes get banned while you are playing in Siege all the drat time. BattlEye gets poo poo done.  This is from shortly after they implemented BattlEye. (shamelessly stolen from the Siege thread)

If takedowns are a button press on someone you're in melee range behind, I look forward to the people who loot things without paying attention in the early game.

punches can work if the other person is bad and you jump around like crazy. i punched out a dude with a SCAR last night and while he shot me a couple of times, I was able to take him down. it was mostly the bad netcode though.

Just eked out my first top 10 (#8) with only 2 kills. I just hid in a bush during the last few reductions and people kept getting near me and crouching, but not noticing me until I was spraying an M249 into them. Got taken out in a peak fight with a dude in one of those little warming huts.

My friends play this so I'm usually playing Duo/Squad but man Solo mode is one of the best horror games on the market at the moment. Every move you make is just filled with tension and danger. E: Also I think that the reason why dying doesn't feel so bad in this game is that your likelihood of surviving is pretty drat low no matter what, so unless you're taking absolutely everything into account 100% of the time you're probably eventually going to slip up or get complacent.

Last night I landed up on some radio tower station. Got a bunch of sweet guns. Was about to head down the cliff when I saw some guy a couple hundred meters below me how stopped right as I did. I carefully took aim, fired off probably 6 shots and didn't hit him once. gently caress I suck at this game. Then I go to reposition and realized it was my own shadow. I was too far away from the ground so terrain shadows were invisible but the character shadow was still working. I can't play above medium settings or the game crashes, even though I get over 140 fps on medium.
