Watched Grimmmz stream for the charity event. Grimmmz and Anthony are such a good duo, and I was really happy for them winning round 3. They got 13 kills together too.

I watched it because I am a loser idiot. They took 1st/3rd for kills and Grand Champions. It was really entertaining

I might catch the main stream later tonight, but I definitely agree it was an entertaining event and I hope they hold some more soon. It really sucks for those that crashed.

Ran into an exciting new bug today where I somehow lost my ability to run or ADS.

Also discovered an amazing new facet to the bug where buildings don't load properly and look like they're made of playdoh: if you can find a car when this happens, you can drive straight through walls. Slammed a Dacia straight through a house and plastered some poor confused motherfucker.

So, you know, it's not all bad.

Beaglerush's YouTube has a video where one of his squadmates dies (eventually), but before that saves all of them because a bridge doesn't render on his computer and he shoots the entire enemy team because they are suspended in midair.

Had my first chicken dinner tonight! Won in squads with 2 buddies and a rando french dude who ended up being pretty drat helpful.

It ultimately came down to us and one other team. The other team was posted up in a tiny little smattering of buildings, meanwhile we had managed to (somehow) make it down a nearby hill and post up in a shady little patch of grass, level with the houses and covered with trees and bushes, right outside. It was honestly the most perfect cover outside of an actual building I've seen playing this game. The final circle was placed perfectly right by our area, forcing them to leave the buildings and come out into the open. From there it was a fish-barrel situation.

Feels fuckin good man.

This one time in a squad game we were in one of the last circles and right at the edge we came up on like a literal lip of earth that we could stand upright behind, fully covered, and see over to a flat open field. I think it was in the NE of Gatka area with all the disrupted terrain, but it was truly impenetrable because no one would have even known we were there from the approach.

Yep, when you have a silenced AR with a scope your best bet is to be one of those bastards that hangs on the edge of the circle and pops everyone running in.

God I want another round like that where most of the last few circles are on a bridge. Such a turkey shoot.

At least I can promise nothing.
Something about the framerate is getting worse. When my FPS drops it's also slowing down my aim. I'm wondering if there was a direct input option that it would even help.

6 kills w/ the ump
1 kill w/ the m4
1 kill w/ the vector at the end from military base to severny

dont be sad if you find a ump instead of a rifle, the gun does work

It's just input lag. Higher framerates mean less input lag and smoother aim

Shroud and his c9 buddies has been my favorite stream so far. It gets intense and fun. If you have an hour spare, the last two rounds from today were hilarious. There was a motorcycle gang, "Square Formation" drive by, motocross, wrecks costing their meds before any shooting, mountain biking, Evil Kaneville jumps, a rescue mission to save a teammate stuck in a concrete wall, and a solid finish.

It mainly starts here @ 6:41:00: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/140196958?t=06h41m00s

Would it though?

I honestly feel like the speed of the circles is pretty good as it is. In the beginning I felt that the next circles happened a bit too fast in the last few circles but after getting better at the game I don't think more than very minor teaks on the speed and timing is needed.

I do however think maybe the locations of the circles and especially the last few circles (when about 10-15 people are left) could be looked at. Sometimes the terrain is just god awful if you are entering from one side and I think more neutral places could be found. This however must not be predictable at all (so that you can learn exactly where the last circle is going to be) so it might be impossible :ohdear:

UMP owns. I'll generally always grab one because it's incredibly reliable and works well for indoors and short to mid range encounters alike

So does that work when you're out of gas but not the standard brakes? I'm honestly curious now.

gently caress THAT

Part of the fun is that it's unpredictable. Sometimes the terrain is going to gently caress you, or the buildings, or the bridges; that's why if you're someone who worries about that, you play "the terrain/building/bridge game". Everyone is basically given a fair chance to engage at their own optimal time and situation, and in that choice lies your own destiny. You can play the game any way you want, going hot into contested zones or chuting out to the boondocks and playing it safe. You can take whatever weapons you find, or wait for ones you prefer, and none of them are unviable because you can choose to camp a stairwell, snipe a field from a roof, or hunt folks down with any of them. You're absolutely in control of your own fate in this game

And you can make it all the way up to #2 playing any way you want; 2 out of 100 players, without ever pulling a trigger or picking up a weapon if you so choose. But it's all gonna end in some random hosed up way, that's for certain less than ideal for everyone, and how you deal with THAT, is when the real PUBG begins.

So how much better is this game when running in/with squads? I've won solo a couple of times now, and while it's fun, I'm not enjoying it to the level that everyone else seems to.

How important are kills for raising your ELO? My strategy right now is to just run for the next safe zone as soon as it appears and camp in a safe place. This seems to be a consistent way to stay alive while everyone else kills themselves, but obviously I don't get many kills. I managed to win a solo game where my only kill was on the last guy.
