Loopoo posted:I hate how bad bandages are at healing you. Medkits are the only thing that are worth it, and painkillers / redbull is great for heal over time and to hit your max hp. Bandages? I rarely use them, they're utter poo poo. 4 seconds to heal 5% hp. Nah. In your inventory? Why would you not be using the number keys to use consumables?

jizzy sillage posted:Oceania is pretty baller, I just open my inventory and right click all the poo poo I want and run off. Yeah, I've only just recently started but my Oceania experience has been pretty great. As an aside I think the idea of systems benefitting campers is overblown. The best rounds you see from streamers are aggressive, they get more kills, they have the initiative, and they also get a whole lot more practice at breaching camper positions and avoiding getting caught out in a bad position in the open. You might sneak some wins camping but you ain't dining on chicken dinner when the genuinely good players get to top ten. It might be irritating to die to campers but the tools are there to dig them out. edit: speaking of unintuitive interfaces though, how the hell do you fill up a car with a gas can? I tried hitting use in the inventory screen which didn't seem to work, and I couldn't find any hotkeys for it. Maluco Marinero fucked around with this message at 09:11 on May 25, 2017 |

Test server is a giant improvement to FPS so that might be why they're forcing shadows on. Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 09:42 on May 25, 2017 |

Anyone else become suicidal and try and die ASAP when their teammates go down? Only time I'll keep on fighting is when there's less than 20 people alive or so. If we're sitting at above 40 alive, I won't think twice and will banzai into the nearest group of enemies to kill them. I feel like having three of my mates spectate me for 20 minutes as I slowly finish the round is no fun for them.

Party Plane Jones posted:https://twitter.com/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/status/867639180540624897 The fact that it caused a delay in looting players due to cycling the animation was absolutely lovely and I'm glad they are going to take more time to figure out what to do. The current implementation made it pretty much impossible to quickly loot a dude in a hectic environment where you kill a guy and need some more ammo to kill the other joker's that are coming your way.

lol don't play the realism card, the box is an abstraction for a corpse you have to manually pull gear off of. It sort of makes sense for you to have to search for the gear you want and grab it out. Honestly bugs notwithstanding, having to stand over and quickly do the inventory dance makes sense. Under pressure you should feel rushed and make mistakes or whatever. You're searching a body, not grabbing a loose bit of gear, aside from the weapon itself.

Why is a corpse portrayed as a crate? Why not just keep dead bodies around and have us loot them directly? It would be so much better. Seeing a bunch of loving crates everywhere and witnessing someone's body instantaneously decompose into a wooden box is just strange. "Sick, I just obliterated that guy, let me go loot the embodiment of his soul that's in the form of a wooden loving crate"

I don't know why they don't just pick a game flow for looting and stick with it. Do the same loving thing for pressing F vs right clicking vs clicking and dragging. They've made the whole thing so complicated and dumb that it's become its own meta.

They've made the whole thing so complicated and dumb that it's become its own meta. That's what they intended to do with this patch, but it wasn't working properly so they've removed it for now. I guess it'll be back in a minor weekly patch. E: So once it's in, the animation will play whether you press f, click and drag, or right click. No more insta-looting with click and drag. It's a pretty big adjustment to make from the current turbo-dragging you can do, and is quite annoying, but I guess that's the balance they want.

It'd be such a huge help walking into a town and physically seeing corpses, so you could assess how risky an area is at a glance. Boxes despawn too. If it's a memory issue and a way to combat lag, just have bodies outside of safe zones despawn. I hate walking into a town and the only indicator of if there are / were people nearby is an open door. Corpses would give you early warning signs.

I get maybe 20fps more which brings me from 30fps to 50fps with i7 920, 12GB of 1333mhz ddr3 and gtx 970. I know I should upgrade my cpu but... DOTA runs fine and now this game seems to run fine too, so  Also shotguns still kill with 1 shot no problem. Even to the chest. I didn't realize the guy was holding a live grenade though so I went over to loot his remains after killing him, and suddendly I exploded into a gooey mess...

They're talking about the decision to have boxes despawn. Although I didn't think that actually happened, because do the items just vanish?

Two of my wins are from a solo team member pushing on after an early game fight has wiped the rest of us out. One was an epic 1 vs like 75

New patch has been amazing for FPS but I really don't like how fast the berries heal you once you eat them. I think they should be a smaller chunk of HP instead of a heal over time. I was hovering around ~40 FPS with my 1050 TI but now I'm getting 60 flat! I'm also not getting any stuttering when I open dead player crates anymore.

I've never seen a deathbox despawn, but they aren't necessarily always on top of the rendered body, because it physics around and the box just sits at wherever the game determines the point of death was.

Yeah, this is why the box system is necessary. It would loving suck to blow a guy up with a grenade and then have to search for his body for five minutes so you can get the loot you earned. With the boxes, you know the loot is going to consistently be where the guy's last HP ticked away.
