Fireworks that spell out the names of the deceased, every 5 minutes, a la the hunger games?

Having a kill feed is interesting but honestly, why even have one for third parties killing each other?
I don't think I'd miss it much, as long as we still have the player counter ticking down. This and an option to hide the session ID would probably go 90% of the way to stopping stream sniping, honestly, which would probably be worth it just to stop the whining on both sides.

So when you hear shots really close and the killfeed pops up right after you just assume it's a coincidence 100% of the time?


Uhh no? When did I say that? I said i haven't based decisions on the killfeed. Of course I've used it to learn that xyz player just died, but it's not something that usually changes my strategy. It matters most in the lategame, but my attention is usually spent trying to actually spot players and watching my flanks. In the scenario you described, I would check out the close shots regardless of the killfeed.

I don't think they should remove the feed, I just don't use it for info as much as I do in TF2 or Overwatch. I'm sure others do.

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

This is the first game that I've ever watched a live stream of, and it's basically because Chocotaco is way better at the game than me so I can learn a ton in a situation where I am unable to play the game at that moment anyway. Streaming doesn't take the place of playing, it is in addition to it.

Grimmz and many of the others are total twats and need to be ignored until they disappear completely but it's not like the format is completely devoid of value.

Combat pants are a crate unlockable, do they actually add inventory space? I read on some wiki that they do but that would seem odd and is a clear advantage over every other clothing option.

I think trying a mode without the kill feed or currently alive counter would be real interesting in the end game. Maybe even a mode that gets rid of all out of character info?

They could watch the stream to know the new name? Just have a twitter blue check mark system to hide from the global kill feed I guess.

The assumption is that people aren't actively looking for say a game that Grimmmz is in, but once they see him on the killfeed they fire up his stream.

Lmao stairs are a loving death trap in FPP, they're like free kills if you're waiting at the top and someone comes up them because their camera is in their neck or whatever so you just dome them before they can even see you. If you're gonna go up stairs in FPP you may as well go up full speed and hope they just miss

Someone mentioned the idea for an option in to randomize the name in a killfeed for each kill which would create enough white noise in the feed that you wouldn't know you were in their game based on that info alone



They could also just run their feeds on a delay but then they couldn't jerk their followers off live so

Yeah I also question this. It's a design choice to give players the Meta information about who killed who with what gun, but i'm not sure it's needed in PUBG. I've used Killfeed info to decide when to push in TF2 or Overwatch, but I can't say for sure that there has been any decision I made in PUBG based on killfeed knowledge.

I guess the only answer is fun? Maybe people just like seeing the scroll.

Keep kill feed and also add in the unreal announcer for headshot kills, multi kills, squad wipes, etc.

The best thing about the horns is that they clearly bother Grimmmzzz by taking the seriousness out of the game. It is difficult to look hardcore when there is horns blaring in background randomly.

If this is anything like TF2 one of those items will act as currency that form the backbone trading economy. Soon everything will be valued in how many red mini-skirts it is worth.
