I feel like if theres a game that would really benefit from throwing everyone into a blender and coughing them out again in 100 nerd batches totally at random it would be this one. Or maybe like 3-4 MMR tranches tops or something.

Dr Disrepect is fun for a few minutes. Then like most streams I turn it off. I only ever watch streams of tournaments with quality casters.

Also jeez the flash hider is a loving huge improvement in terms of limiting muzzle flash.

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.

killing people both makes you feel good and gives you items

I ran over a guy who had apparently just looted a crate drop with my buggy yesterday. He had kar with 8x lvl3 armor and helmet and a bazillion ammo. Didnt help him vs a car. For his consolation i got picked off while prone in tall grass thinking about what i wanted to do because the other guy was far enough away that my tall grass was invisible. Never got to snipe someone :(

watching a normally cool guy do the "optimum strat" and not doing something like mowing people down with a car = lame

It's a huge rush to stare at your monitor for two minutes where not a single pixel changes and you hear footsteps around you.

It feels like minutes 2-7 are rather boring because the early skirmishes are over and everyone is just running to the zone. The full map feels too big for 100 players, they should increase the max players to 200 and have the first zone be larger.

I had no idea who he was till I started playing PUBG and he's pretty fun to watch. I don't feel his act gets at all tiring to watch and it isn't so over the top that it detracts from the stream. For the most part it's just pretty chill. It's more watchable than break who had a really loving annoying follow/sub/donation notification every few seconds that made me turn that poo poo off.

Dr DisRespect is good in small doses.

Motorbikes are deathtraps, yo. This was just now in back-to-back games.

I had made a mental note of this motorbike already as I was planning on using it.

The game just before this was so crazy laggy (EU). I would never have made those shots on that server.

Still don't fully understand what happened with this one...

My Bushtech™ is getting more and more sophisticated. Still only one chicken dinner but consistently top 10 now.

I usually get popped by somebody with an 8x outside the blue circle when I move bushes to avoid the blue death.

Protip: You can flip bikes by pressing F.

Also on a sidenote to the Elo system. I started to gather some information about the matches to figure out what number has how much impact on the leaderboards. I will probably make it accessible when I have around 25-30 matches of information.

And some people in the Top10 still shouldn't be in the Top100

My rank seems to go up a lot when I play a lot. It matters less if I do well or not. So the ranking system definitely needs some work but ideally you still need rank decay to keep people playing so maybe it's not all bad.

Someone tried to use the crossbow on me and I looked around, but couldn't see him, so I looked at the direction the arrow was lodged in the house next to me and rushed the rock he was hiding behind and sprayed him with my UMP.

I think my weakness is towards the end, I can usually win an early scrum in a town if I drop into a contested one, however towards the end I struggle on the final approaches. I usually make it into the top 20 then get pegged by someone near the end either by trying to advance into the circle or someone pegs me with a scoped gun, because I seem unlucky cause I have only ever found a couple 2x scopes and never one of them nice ones.

Hide in a bush, don't move until you have to. Get into the top 10 every time.

Get a car and drive in a circles during the final phase of the game. People are so busy watching their own backs that they don't want to shoot at you because it will give away their position to the other guy hiding in a bush. Then when the circle moves you're in a prime position to get to the white faster than them and you have a mobile piece of cover if its in a field!

Does anyone else have problems with hangups/freeze-ups when opening your inventory?

I mean my game literally goes to 0 FPS. It will half load the transparent inventory UI and then the screen won't update for 5-30 seconds. The game still accepts movement and looting mouse and keyboard commands but my visuals are totally locked up for that time period, this always happens the first time hit tab after parachuting in regardless of if I am in the middle of a town or just out at sea. Preemptively opening it while I parachute in does not help either, unfortunately.
