Aw man, I thought it was out right now. Oh well.

I'd like to play it just once to dispel myself of all illusions that I'd like it better so I could get it out of my system and just fully enjoy 3p

this season started out great for me. first game I crashed within 5 minutes, second game was my first ever red zone death, and third was a top 10 with no kills. lol what a poo poo night

Last night I took a boat to spawn island then walked to the circle uneventfully until it was me and 7 others. Dude approached 10m to my left and I just stood up and tried to left click him real good but nothing happened then he shot me and I died.

I forgot to take out my gun.

Also, normally I can't get enough real life friends to play games with me, which is where goons always come in. This game is different, I'm going to have to make appointments to play with goons...

Any idea what the 'lower rail attachment' to the SKS will do?

Foregrips, which should be pretty good on the SKS since you'll be able to cut down the vertical recoil a lot.

Just make sure the new car you have has gas before you shoot the tires of the old one.

One match we knew early on it was going to be the military island so after leaving prim we grabbed every boat on the north side and ran it aground. By the time the second circle had finished we were down to 35 people in the game.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.


I was pinned down with the blue on my heels. The guy firing on me was also in the outside of the safe zone but halfway up a hill. I sat behind a tree and awaited my fate. Once the blue passed me I guess he thought he was safe so he turned and started running up the hill towards the circle. I took him out with a single well placed headshot right before I died to the blue.

I love this game.

Speaking of rain, one of the patch notes is something like "set rainfall probability back how it's supposed to be". Does that mean more or less often? I've literally seen it once ever so I'm gonna assume "more".

Should be more often now, feels like the rain frequency was reduced with the patch that added the sunset skybox map style.

Thanks. To answer your question:

The fact that nothing hit, especially in the first volley when he was heavily exposed, is pretty sad. It's hard to see on the blurry graphics, but when I was shooting the right side, his body was definitely exposed. It looked to me to be passing right through him.

So dumb question time - just upgraded from 8 to 16 GB of RAM. My graphics card is not great (750M) so I've got everything pretty much at minimum, including screen scale, but I do see an improvement in 'smoothness' and playability after making the upgrade. What would be the first graphic tweaks I should start to push up with the added RAM I've installed?

There's no shortage of cool ideas like this one. You could do different time periods as well. Medieval britain dotted with castles with horses to ride. Ancient roman city, maybe even with chariots. Modern Manhattan, with traffic. Fuckin' Hoth for all I care. The overarching mechanics of the game are strong enough to fit a pretty broad set of ideas.
