I don't stream too often right now because I couldn't imagine people watching PUBG for long stretches of time. There is a lot of slow time in the game, even though I do play fairly aggressively. Custom games would be way more interesting to stream because its something newish and if you set the rules properly you encourage people to fight instead of hide. But then I guess we've hit a chicken or the egg conundrum.

Also, when I stream, I can't record in native quality, so either I lose video for my highlight clips, or I can get it off Twitch, but it will be much lower quality and the sound will be desynced.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Hi, I'm Weedbabygoku420 and I haven't got a second molotov kill, since the very first Thrills and Kills video. Also, I have two crossbow kills, neither impressive enough to make it into a video. I assure you, I have tens of kills with all the other weapons in the game. You can probably say they're not very good weapons.

But that will be true for everyone, and no one can third-person spy on you, which is unrealistic. It'll be more engagement opportunities I think, because people won't be able to prone out under a window and still see outside.

Because 3rd person can be abused to camp from safe spots, which some people don't like. If it's 1st person you will have to expose yourself to get information.

I hit a dude with molotov and he died, most of the time I throw it too high and it breaks mid air a billion miles away from whoever I threw it at. I wish you could throw them in front of cars to light cars on fire that would give them a niche of some kind at least.

Same, I had one dude watching mine during my 13 hour stream for something dumb like 6-8 hours. And since everyone is posting twitch links i might as well get on that bandwagon since im a terrible nerd.


Molotovs are ace. watching pubbies overcook them and immolating themselves is always amazing to watch. :allears:

I'll watch your stuff (but your overlay is covering some prime real estate)! Twitch is weird, I never have viewers but one day some people just randomly started watching me... For like 4 hours while we dicked around in PUBG. I mean, we won a few and had mostly top 10s, but still, no idea why they were watching me.

I actually killed someone with a successfully utilized stun grenade. Dude was camping the top of the stairs in a small house, just staring down at the only way up. Instead of risking him getting the drop on me, I tossed a stun at the bottom of the stairs. I knew it worked because he immediately started firing his AR at nothing and panic running around the bedrooms :v:

Today, we solved a great murder mystery.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/159897927

Last night, we were in pretty dire straights due to being outside the next white cirle. Just then, a squad of idiots rolls up to us in a UAZ. I quickly down two of them, and before I can kill the third, a teammate shoots out the tire trying to kill a downed guy. I systematically execute the third guy, but the damage is done. Don't murder poor defenseless tires on the cars you need. Don't be Lohli.

One tire out you can still do about half car speed, it just takes forever to get up to that speed and if you're on an upwards slope you're boned. Two you're absolutely hosed.

edit: can you even destroy motorcycle tires

Half speed = dead speed in squad.

Conversely, in Arma 3 running into just about any fence at 10mph or higher would flatten the fence but also wreck a tire. They had repair kits for tires, but I'm pretty sure what we have in PUBG is the preferable set up.

I wish they would replace it with something more useful though. It's more something to screw around with than a mid or end game weapon.

Also blowing out a tire makes that vehicle turn slightly in that direction at all times. It's annoying as gently caress.

Played one game on a break at work, made it to ~ 30 left and found the awesome bullpup thing in a crate. Promptly tried to defend the empty crate using said bullpup from the 2nd guy to drive up. I hope he makes use of the gun, because my ragdoll corpse flew about 50 yards when he clipped me at full speed after I potatoed every shot.
