If it ended on the bunkers then, you'd have a situation where two people could take it to a stalemate. One on top of the bunker and one in it. You're essentially looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist considering how little that happens in a typical game with people that aren't in the top .01% mmr wise.

GOTY VulgarandStupid posted:He was underground. Yeah, this happened to one of our guys yesterday. There's a water plane underneath the whole map, and you can swim from one end to the other. It's almost impossible for the swimming person to win because when the final collapse comes they move so much slower than the people on the surface and can't be running boosts, but it needs to be addressed.

they cant use first aid if they're swimming so you should probably have the edge if you have a first aid kit, no?

Playing FPP mode, and I ran into an odd thing. I was near the blue wall and aiming at someone running at me, and the game mirror imaged the person running towards me. I'd never seen that happen before, and of course it didn't do that for the guy shooting at me.

underage at the vape shop posted:kids have no concept of money + gambling is addictive + kids have no impulse control Depends on what you mean with kids. If they're under 14, then they shouldn't have access to money from places other than their parents, right? If they're older and they have access to money, then they probably have a job and have to make all sorts of decisions (don't spend all my money on crates in a game, don't get addicted to drugs, don't gently caress the wrong person and get an STI). I'm sorry that I don't see a cash grab by a company who's made an inexpensive game as a serious moral threat, or at least a serious threat that compares to the choices kids that age already have to make. Will some kids get addicted to gambling from the loot crates? Maybe? Possibly? There's already a poo poo ton of other things that they can blow money on that are addictive -and many better options for gambling too. I'm not seeing the moral peril -relative to any of the other poo poo that kids can do or get addicted to- from $2.50 loot crates in a $30 video game. Heroin or craps this ain't.

if you want to complain about gambling in kids attack the sports gambling agencies running commercials in primetime or hell take aim at all the dads out there talking about putting a tenner down on the footy every weekend. Gambling is a disease but crates are like the most innocuous and easy-to-avoid form there is (hint: don't give your kids a debit card or tie one to your steam account)

If you want to complain about gambling in games, mobile games that force you to buy stuff to progress (or grind for countless hours) are way worse than games that let you buy some shiny clothes.

Gambling is a disease but crates are like the most innocuous and easy-to-avoid form there is (hint: don't give your kids a debit card or tie one to your steam account) Mobile gaming & F2P gaming are things that many kids will participate in, likely more than watching TV with ads on it or listening to a Dad  Even if you want to discount the gambling training aspect of it, systems like this are terrible and worsen society. You know who mobile gaming companies bring in to setup systems like this? The same people who design casino games, slots, & lotteries. There are many, many adults out there addicted to this poo poo and its pretty bad.They make the purchasing easy to do, add uncertainty to the results of your purchase, and make the amount low enough that it is deceptive. $2.50 doesn't sound like much but when you have a 1/100 chance of getting what you actually want you get people spending tons of money without realizing it. I don't know if that is better or worse than the people who will spend tons of money it and realize they are doing it. Its a lovely system. Sucks that its in this game, which is otherwise great.

Yes, it's small potatoes compared to many other manifestations of gambling, however this is gambling that doesn't disclose odds, is not restricted in age usage, and is a perfect gateway to the documented addictive behaviours that lead to the gambling complex western society is propping up. We can complain about the poker halls and the massive gambling advertising presence too y'know, it's just concerning that vidya games, entertainment products primarily targeted at children, have completely unregulated forms of gambling (or if you wanna get pedantic, purchases with randomised results).

This is a good post that makes good and fair points. I still might not agree that it's a problem that you guys do, but I can at least respect the position now (not that that matters, but still, his argument holds water). Take notes, BBJoey! Maybe next time you can be less of an unfunny, zero content poster!

Yo shut the hell up, you're the one posting garbage. Noone owes you a detailed explanation of basic concepts that have been covered in the thread ten times over. For content: The devs could have easily made each special outfit set $2.50 to purchase outright and kept the boxes free and with a random chance to have any one piece of any outfit. People would still buy multiple outfits to mix-and-match or based on what map they were playing or whatever. League of Legends have a setup pretty close to that and they're literally printing money (2015 numbers have it at 8 times the revenue of CS:GO and the game itself is F2P)

Truly, I'm posting garbage when I'm explaining why I think what I do -in good faith- which is then responded to with useless one liners from shitposters who have never been involved with goons who actually play this game. Is expecting parents to be involved enough to keep their kids from getting addicted to "gambling loot crates" wrong? Honest to loving Christ I cannot believe that's a sentence I've actually written now. Are we going to start banning this game for encouraging violent behavior? Are we going to be upset that this game takes place on a Soviet island and maligns Russia? Because each of those are as crazy as the opinion that loot crates will get people addicted to gambling.

I think the idea that the game encourages violence is a lot more tenuous than the one where having a literal lottery for $300 game clothes encourages gambling because that's literally what it is. If I had a button to make the world how I want it, it certainly would not be legal - it's a downright parasitic business model that disproportionately hurts those least able to see it for what it is.

Friend of mine with a better PC was trying to play this with me over the weekend and kept having problems. I asked him if he had shut down everything else that was running and he said yeah, but it turns out his gaming machine is also his plex server and when he plays video games his wife watches TV on it. Yeah, I'd say transcoding and streaming video could put a little bit of a crimp in your game performance.

Plex burbles right along, pubg is unaffected.

These sorts of payment models are usually supported by dysfunctional people who can't help but spend a poo poo ton of money, and if you look at what happened with TF2 and CS:GO you had multiple levels of gambling with people having to pay for a chance at a hat/skin and then another explicit culture of gambling with all the sites that let people bet their hats. I don't really have a problem with random rewards for special events like contributing to a tournament prize pool or whatever as long as the available stuff is all sort of worth it, I think there's a meaningful difference between the available rewards all being quite desirable and there being a 99% chance that you're going to get another set of grey pants, and I think that's a good place to draw the line between gambling and a blind goody-bag.

But people have said that upgrading from 8-16GB fixed some of their performance problems and 70 tabs is a lot, chrome is using about 1GB for me with only about a dozen open, so I wouldn't be surprised if freeing up some of that memory helps you out. You could always just monitor ram usage while you're playing and see if that's the problem though. lohli fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Aug 14, 2017 |

Is there a bug that stops you from being able to run, or maybe some button I'm fat fingering to cause it? It seems to happen every couple games now where I get stuck walking at normal speed. It seems to randomly fix itself after a minute or so, but when it happens at 12 left with two of my teammates downed and shots flying over my head it kind of fucks me.

Did you just try to hold your breath while shooting at someone? If you empty your lungs, you have no air to sprint with. If it's not that, then I don't know.

It's weird to see all these people get worked up and upset about "gambling" loot boxes when baseball cards, MTG, pokemon, etc. have been around for longer than video games have even been a thing, and I don't recall ever seeing many people get this bent out of shape about those over the years.
