The best thing to do is mute in the lobby, unmute on landing. I don't really mind most of the voice spam in the lobby, but there's a split second when you get moved to the plane where the voice chat increases in volume like 1000% and I don't want tinnitus.

Once you're in the game, you really want it unmuted for those people who don't know they're broadcasting every single squad tactic for all to hear, but more importantly for the delicious salt when you kill someone. People get SO MAD

Good news:

My primary squad has a system where if we feel at all that anybody has dropped into the same area with us that we'll keep chat to a minimum, otherwise this is exactly what my squad sounds like.

Just recently started playing. Definitely takes some getting used to on the gunplay compared to other games, and I'm still tweaking my settings to find what is best.

With that in mind, is there a standard recommended graphics settings for this like there are a lot of games? Are people easier to see with foliage set to higher or lower? Any other trap settings that make the game significantly easier or harder?

I have this same thing. Voice works fine in any app you'd care to name but in pubg it seems to only work after a patch and up and until i change any of the settings on it. It's frustrating that typing isn't a thing at all because of the few times I've solo queued into squads and voice stopped working, i'd gone insane trying to figure out how to get the attention of 3 nerds who are in a looting fever dream, and try to gesticulate that an enemy squad is 150 yards out southeast and bearing down on our position just for one second will you look out this drat window i'm spazzing out at jfc.

So the lesson is mumble/discord only for group games

I've seen people say this, but when you're in game you can hear people talking to other people who don't have team only set and not hear their team mates so I'm not 100% certain thats true.

That'd be because it's distance based for All, but Team Only can always hear each other. In other words, you can hear the guy a few meters away, but if he's talking to a teammate 200m away you can't hear the teammate reply. This is why in the lobby you can run away from the idiots screaming obscenities at the top of their lungs, but have to enjoy them again once you're on the plane.

Ah, it was between the lead in paragraph and the big bold all caps thing about installing it on an SSD or you forfeit your right to complain about texture pop-in. I would have assumed it would have been labeled in some way, or in one of the block quotes, or literally anywhere but there when I looked.

my current hot take is that getting shot in the head should just kill you instead of downing you so I don't have to play whackamole with some guy in a window where I shoot him in the face and his friend crouching behind the frame picks him back up infinitely until I get annoyed enough to rush the building and get chested by the guy camping the door with a shotgun

Damn that's a
fine elephant.
Voice is good for bit of banter, like the fella who recently beat me to the Vector on drop, missed killing me with his first clip such that I shook him off long enough to grab an AR, and then 1 shot domed him with it as he came to finish the job.

You better believe there'll be banter for a kill like that. I was probably as surprised as he was given I usually don't shoot that accurately and had forgotten I was on single shot.

put a little hut on top of the big georgopol mountain with a machine in it that lets you draw on the map for everyone so that it can become a craterous hellscape littered with the corpses of the valiant warriors who gave their lives in glorious battle to earn the sacred honour of drawing a big fat dick on the map

Definitely one of those games where accurate, timely communication is key.

we've had a few new people join my group and we actively mock them until they start using compass headings

"left? your left? my left? relative to what? to you? me? are you an idiot?"

it's the first thing we tell new players and the only thing we rub their noses in if they gently caress it up, because it's the best skill to have. everyone fucks up because it's just natural to say left or right but getting hazed over it once or twice breaks the habit pretty quick

lol had one of those games last night where a house we were in was dead center of every single circle up to and including the very last circle

we had tons of ammo from earlier brawls so it was just a slaughter as groups poured in from all directions

ended in a 3v3 (we started with 3, as usual..) against another house that barely made it in the last circle and wrecked them as well, feels good man

i dropped in the tunnels cuz im a spicy boy and i wanna fight, and i ran to the other tunnel as some goober had gotten to the close one first. luckily, he still hadn't found a gun when i found an m16 and missed every shot at him as he serpentined away.

i found him later down in the tunnels looting another dude, so i shoot him and what does HE HAVE A SILENCER FOR MY m16 which i exchange for a full auto m4.

then i drove around a lot and got shot at, shot another goober in a big fight and wow he had tons of 5.6 ammo and an 8x. now i basically crawl through the final circles, shooting at a guy whos crawling in the open and doesnt even attempt to run, as my 8x silenced scope is so dirty.

then i get shot from who knows where to end up 3rd.

I had 5 rounds the other night where my drop area had no ARs. Chasing a guy down in a field with an Uzi during the 3rd zone restriction feels bad man.
