I just ask trivia questions to grant access to the plane during the setup lobby...

Okay, cool.
I mean, yes, but it's the difference between hanging out with longtime friends playing a new game, and having to find a group. I don't have a problem with the latter, per se, but this game was first brought to my attention by somebody who was very "No, you need to play with people you know." I'm not typically a huge multiplayer guy though so I figured I'd ask some other people.

I'd 100% rather play this game with goon friends than RL friends. I don't know how many times I could handle any of my rl friends could driving me into obvious ambushes before I'd have a hard time staying friends with them

DBNO is really important though, how else are you going to know if you wipe a group? Whats annoying about it?

DBNO is garbage and I wish it wasn't in the game. It actually makes camping and sniping stronger and in my opinion is a way bigger deal than third person camera. Without it, it's true that you wouldn't know if you've wiped a squad or not, but it would make sacrifice plays that much more viable.

I'm generally okay with the concept of DBNO because it creates something to fight over and it allows for 2nd chances in games where you'd otherwise be sitting in the lobby waiting a while for your teammates.

But I think it should be nerfed. Either lowering max health over consecutive revives or a max revive limit of 1 or maaybe 2 (I've heard there is one already? If there is it's way too high) would work well imo. As it is it's like 'hey you shot this guy enough to kill him three times normally but he just keeps getting back up." That part sucks to me.

You do start to bleed out way faster. But I've totally had a teammate just sit by me and revive me as I took shots on another team that had bad positioning

If your teammate is DC'ed or really far away make sure before they kill you to say "my friend will follow you until the end of the world, WATCH YOUR BACK" or something like that so they are extra paranoid. Its the little griefings that really make me love this game.

Yea I guess now that I think about it I agree with it. Maybe once? It sure is a good way to deal with the bugginess of vehicles. When I first got this game it was much more fun because people were idiots and would revive in the open and crawl right to their friend sniping. That doesn't happen anymore

Without DBNO you'd have more camping because the risk moving about outside is so much higher.
You should have a Revive cap though, two or three revives no ifs or buts, no items that let you get downed extra beyond your 2/3 downs.
I'd like a Defib item that when you revive your buddy it gives them a third or half heal or just some regen.

I mean, it's still clearly an early access game with some things that should probably be addressed. Personally I wish the first circle wasn't as random in terms of where it can be placed and how much of the map it can cut off. It's kind of like, "oh cool an 8x8 km map!" but sometimes the first circle cuts it down to a quarter of that size. I think in general the circles are balanced fairly re: timing and damage but like, don't give us a circle that's 50% out to sea, that's loving stupid.

downed gives you less health each time you go down though, so if you do keep dying you'll only be saved in situations your squad has a handle on

I've noticed that people like this generally don't improve, maybe they'll get embarrassed and chill out for a short while after someone makes a point of how ridiculous they have been behaving but they never really stop getting mad at videogames.

Edit: Also he's more likely to just drive off anyone who has the displeasure of playing with him, if you play with a group of regulars and you bring him along, they'll avoid him if the group is big enough for that to be viable but they'll go elsewhere if they can't get away from him.

They get better when they start dealing with the problems in their life that are the root cause of their anger.

DBNO lets you become that rear end in a top hat sniper who uses shot buddies as bait, and if you aren't using it for that then lol what are you even doing in this game.

The other day I was playing with my bro and this guy down him out in the open. I turn and spot him and start shooting him, and rather than address me, he just loving keeps unloading and finishes him. I kill him and he doesn't have a DBNO so obviously his partner was dead already. It just left me wondering what the gently caress he was thinking.

e: I guess maybe he was thinking he couldn't outshoot me in that situation and wanted to make sure he got the kill and spoil our game? Only thing that makes sense to me. If only he knew I am actually bad.

Hot tip that helped me. I aim with low sensitivity but dragging items into inventory was tough. I set general sensitivity much higher than my aim sens. I shouldn't be shooting unless I'm aiming and now I can drag items into inventory much quicker.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
