Let me know how it goes, two of my squad are convinced the area is inaccessible once the game starts so I can never convince them to try.

My group likes heading over there when we get the right plane, it's usually a mad dash to loot everything and then get back to safety before the circle gets us. Sometimes we have to fight it out with other people going there and it's an easy way to run people over with boats if people decide they aren't going to stop that close to the land.

Chard posted:Has anyone gone back to spawn island after the drop? I'm curious if all those fun guns would be there. I had a weird thing in a squad game yesterday. I was alt-tabbed when my squad finished readying, and I was really really late loading into the game. The game bugged and I loaded in right as the plane launched; I did not get put in the plane, and was still on the spawn island. All the crate-type stuff on the picnic tables (tommy gun, awp, etc.) weren't there, but there was regular stuff everywhere else. There was also no boat, and I ended up dying swimming back to the mainland. Also got the no-rain sound bug recently, that's super fun.

Spawn island has military grade loot, like the red areas on the map in the OP. But you need a pretty good set of conditions to get there and back without dying, so its usually not worth it. The picnic table poo poo is gone, but all of the buildings have pretty good loot. Also don't forget to pick up a gas can, you'll probably need it.

I'm enjoying watching this Grimmz guy and that's probably mostly because he has a calm, low voice and doesn't do the over-emoting thing that's popular nowadays. e: Now he's playing with this Anthony guy who is sometimes right by the edge of acceptable.

https://streamable.com/1lo6w Here's a two minute clip from the beginning of my first win. My idiot friend didn't go to the car spawn I put on the map so I grabbed this Dacia and found a couple boys in a butthut right near the garage. Screamed at them over voice chat to get the gently caress in the car. This whole car ride I was chatting about how great the food is in Yasnaya and if they wouldn't mind, rating me 5 stars.

i just played a solo game where i got the pochinki car with a dude in it, drove until i ran out of gas at another dacia, he got in the drivers seat and started driving around on the road as well. we did this for like 15 mins before finding a mil drop that he dropped me off at, it had like literally every single item in the game (awp scope ghillie suit meds armor), the best drop ive ever seen. i got in the car again and he drove around slamming into other cars and driving off cliffs until we both died teaming is ruining this game Verviticus fucked around with this message at 08:28 on May 3, 2017 |

I've gone off Pyrion because he was willing to go "doi, i'm bad, what a goof I am" and be funny about him trying to get better, but now he's just another dude that gets angry at everyone else on his team because it clearly was not his fault streamer #2042. Sips is great since he hasn't let himself slip into that abyss. Good ol' Sips.

Stolen from Reddit: https://www.facebook.com/techinsider/videos/753963208135371/ * More cosmetics will be added soon and there will be no paid-content until after release. * Lots of great content to come but their main focus is to work as fast they can on patches for both framerates and server lag. * Have devs looking at the console platform and it's going to happen, but not until the PC version is fully done. * Bullet drop and spread mechanics are still a work in progress. * Weapon damage and armor stats are still a work in progress (they're close to where they want to be but obviously will continue balancing/fixing damage done.) * Would like to add 1 weapon a month until release. * Directional audio is still a work in progress and a huge focus. The main dev on this feature is an ex CS pro-tier player. * Still hotfixing tons of those crappy falling animation glitches every day (you can see the build number change nearly every game you are in at the bottom middle of screen, version number). * He loves seeing the funny game modes already popping up in Customs. One Korean streamer has a makeshift Zombie mode where 1 squad is allowed to get melee weapons and 92 others have to use their fists attempting to kill the squad. Goldeneye where it's first person only, no armor no meds, and only pistols. Or "where's waldo?" 1 player dresses up in the red/white striped tee shirt and tries to hide from the other 99 players. Sounds fun  * Adding more the point above, they will definitely add more options to the customs mode over time so when it goes public, we all get a chance to create some fun rulesets. He mentioned being able to remove the blue zone completely and make it a free roam map. Also thinks car races around the map would be fun too, once more options and mods come! (and less "car humping" bugs. his words, not mine lol) * "Map is meant to be sort of a forgotten island somewhere in the black sea and Soviets during the war to use as a military base.. then was abandoned due to an "accident". Basic gist of it. PU big fan of brutalist architecture and very proud of the map. If you didn't know the map is named "Erangel" in relation to PU's daughter Eireann. * Even more variety will be trickled into the current map so we have a few more interior models and such. * They now have 2 new members of the team that are officially "data scientists" and came from Bluehole's MMO studio. They're now analyzing the huge piles of data from the last couple months and will help being tweaking and balancing everything from car speed to parachute distances to gun damage. That is super exciting! * PU has always had faith that this genre could be done right and be a massively popular game. But he didn't expect 2 million copies so quickly and even though that puts a ton of pressure on his shoulders, he's at peace because of his "incredible" dev team. It *will* be good. * **Host says** "and for an early access game I've been very surprised how well it runs as I've not seen any crashes personally --" PU chimes in "Well *for you* that's great! But *there are* some people that have been crashing constantly and we truly, sincerely, apologize to those people and are working very hard to get those issues patched immediately. 90% of players might have no crashing issues but we need that to be as close to 100% as possible. Always send reports!" * They're constantly brainstorming circle speed ideas and **firmly believe the only thing that should kill you is other players (if playing within the basic rules). Changes will come soon to circle speeds and new mechanics may be tested.**

Sounds good. I don't think they'll be able to completely remove circle deaths though, because you'll always have people hugging the outside for whatever reason, be it avoiding people coming from behind or looting as much as possible or just being too slow or not paying attention. Maybe make it a little bit slower at the end of the game but I don't hate the way it is now.

The only problem I really have with the circle is that you can't always outrun it. This means you can have the blue pass you and know you're dead because you won't last all the way to the white circle and you can't get out of the blue before you hit the white circle. Died to this twice yesterday on circles that ended up in towns so we were distracted trying to deal with so many people packed in way tight because we didn't have open field sight-lines.

Getting the circle right is a tough row to hoe. On one hand it sucks to die to the circle in the top 30 or so because someone pinned you down for 7 seconds, or they were willing to die to the circle to pick you off and place ever so slightly higher. I don't have a problem with being "hosed" by the circle randomness in the last 2-3 collapses. It's genuinely random, and it's a tactical choice to sit on the very edge of the safe play area until the last possible moment. You CAN move immediately if you want to. Incidentally, the penalty for shooting out of the circle is higher than shooting in. I stopped to fire back at someone trying to take pot shots at us, and looking back out through the blue was like looking through water. Everything was offset 5-10'. On the other hand, I've watched people use 6+ first aid kits blithely ignoring the first circle as they scour every high loot area on one side of the map. That's both not interesting to watch, and it's not at all fun to play against. It's not breaking any rules, it's just exploiting how the game mechanics work. It's not wrong, it just feels against the spirit of the experience. Badfinger fucked around with this message at 14:52 on May 3, 2017 |

One change I'd like with blue circle is that it should spasm your ADS view every second like you're being electrified. Would help with those people who feel their final act as they're dying outside of the circle should be to kill some random dude inside at the edge.

They also had a passenger from another team in their boat, they killed him after getting some guns on the island. Then when they came back his team was on the beach and killed them all.
