Had the game lag out on me as three dudes rounded the stairs a squad game where our house was dead center to the circle the entire time. I died and we got third place.

drat, got screwed by a tree blocking my third person view when I went around a corner to gun down a guy running up. I've bound first person to middle mouse, but haven't gotten used to switching to it yet.

7 is just the ha sound (epiglottal), 3 is ah (again, epiglottal). then you've got 5 which represents kha, 2 is ah but lighter than 3, 9 is sa, 6 is ta.

poo poo gets groovy when you start throwing apostrophes into the mix, like 3' isn't ah anymore, it's gha.

Play on the US servers, they generally run and feel better to play on than the EU ones.

Did you hear maracas?
In an ironic twist of events my buddies and I have been playing on EU instead of NA because the EU servers feel better 9/10 games we play. The hit registry feels on point and I can count, on one hand, the number of times I've had some guy I've been shooting at get all spazzy and unhittable. This is basically the inverse of the NA servers where it's more often than not a hot laggy mess of rubberbanding dudes, doors, and cars.

I killed somebody with a Dacia last night. Then died because I forgot to take my AK off of full-auto.

Then I died in the next game because we couldn't jump out a window we totally thought we could and whoops there's the blue wall!

It's such a dumb way to die when you forget to switch your gun from single to auto. Amount of times I've walked into a house forgetting to put my SCAR full auto, and then bumping into an enemy. I'll get one shot off and then wonder why my gun is out of bullets, before realising too late and dying. Feels pretty garbage cause you've only got yourself to blame.

I always forget to go to single-shot before trying to headshot a guy at 100m, so I end up missing high and then oh whoops they know I'm here.

Yeah I never had a smooth game. All the clips and streams you guys keep posting, meanwhile it takes a good second or two for doors to open for me. Getting into cars is always a guessing game of "Did I actually press the key to enter?" so I press it again after three seconds and it just hops in and out immediately and some dick bag kills me while I'm struggling because gently caress me.

Watching those twitch clips of Grimmz and I'm wondering how the gently caress is everything so responsive for him.

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

This is pretty stupid. I've had goons rage at my because we're all in a car driving and I say "there's a guy on the left" and they all get into a huffy about not using the compass. If it's not super obvious that left is relative to the direction the car is facing, the squad probably isn't going very far.

As someone who played DayZ with goons, I can almost 100% assure you VikingSkull was not in any way referring to directions relative to car.

yes it's this, when in a car or dropping from the plane, left and right are valid instructions

if I'm the stair goblin a floor below you, I can't see you and you can't see me and you tell me "left! right!" there's a 50/50 chance I come up the stairs and kill you myself

e- I will say that we've had firefights and the core group of players I roll with are comfy with each other, if we know where the group or an individual is we will use left and right and have some confidence they will know what we mean, but we all have a few hundred hours in game and know most of the landmarks and likely hiding places are, so "the left tree" or what have you gains more relevance

it's just that new players don't often know when that stuff is situationally appropriate

It really bugs me when people don't use compass bearings, it makes it really hard to pinpoint who they're aiming at, especially when the person is concealed really well. I always use bearings + description: "He's at 315, behind the tree on the hill, he's peeking left". My mate who regularly gets about 12 kills a game (he's insanely good) always says "There's a guy there!" and I spend 30 seconds trying to find the guy before he eventually gets downed by my teammate. He's been in 1v2 situations with me close by and unable to help cause I don't know where the enemies are, yet he still somehow manages to come out on top. My other group I play with all use bearings and descriptions and we all end up firing on the same poor fucker and it's so satisfying showering them in a hail of bullets.

Makes sense and is reasonable.

Last night I queued with 3 and got a pubbie who sounded like a ten-year-old. We decided on our other comms to let him call the shots and it was pretty awesome.

Stalber is pro tier if you're in a solo, but only if the circle drops in the north, and only if a rifle of some sort and an optic drops there which is a dubious bet

if you get those two things it's an insta top 10 IMO

e- Zharki, on the other hand, never has a circle drop near it and even though some gear spawns there you never have the time to get there and back to the circle, plus it's too close to the container docks to not get killed by some spec ops equipped idiot on the way out
