Out of curiosity, how does falling into water work in regards to fall damage? Is it safe to bail off the side of the bridge if the alternative is being shot?

lohli posted: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. Good post. I hadn't considered the history of the payment model to be honest, that's a great set of points. I figured the internet was being the internet and finding something to be faux-outraged over, but again, good points. I think you've actually changed my mind. Thanks for the effort man.

lohli posted:Oh my god I had no idea holding breath was a thing in this game. When you run out, crouch and hold still for a second and it will refill faster. Walking/running affect it too. Prone might, not sure. Holding until it the lungs are red and blinky will make it refill slower than if it's white. Kamikaze Raider posted: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. Based on the last page it seems to be more about someone's lack of research into gambling addiction.

So I just had a situation where there were two left and the timer on the circle stopped at 1 right before the last one. The other person alive was nowhere in sight. The timer stayed frozen for a good 5 minutes while I waited around. Then all of a sudden it started constricting again and the other guy died before the circle got all the way in. What the gently caress?

You reached the final timer. It just freezes and gives you guys time to murder yourselves. If you take too long to do that, it starts to collapse all the way

Just to give the first line a little more context, here's a report by a mobile games company detailing spending for their freemium games which is sort of applicable: http://landingpage.swrve.com/rs/swrve/images/swrve-monetization-report-0114.pdf Highlights:
As a non-freemium game the revenue contributions are going to be different overall(since you need to buy the game), but I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers are basically the same when only taking into account microtransaction stuff.

I've been trying to practice jumping on top of stuff on the spawn island, specifically those tires in front of the shipping container. For some reason i can't seem to get onto the shipping container. I tried hitting crouch and jump at the same time, but my character doesn't seem to jump. So i do jump then crouch immediately, but i can't seem to get over. I see other folks making the jump, what am i doing wrong?

Yeah hopefully they tweak the algorithm so it always ultimately falls on an area that only has a single level. Even the second to last circle can have multiple levels but with the last circle being guaranteed it would add an element where players would have to make sure they have an exit strategy to wherever they go.

Guess i'll try tonight, thanks. Thumb will get you more consistent results because instead of trying to get the timing right between presses with different digits it'll just be about how fast you put your thumb down, but if you're desperate you could probably setup an autohotkey bind or something for it.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Yeah but why couldnt I find him anywhere? Those culverts connect underground and part of the underground is in the circle:  He went down there and then got trapped by the walls and was unable to get out. Also explains why he died first since he did not have a ton of room down there.

I can't remember if I posted this here before, and this probably wasn't it in your case, but this is an interesting experiment where someone gets 2nd in duos by just autorunning to the centre of every circle then going prone and the opposing team just does not see the guy. http://www.joshmillard.com/2017/08/11/operation-autorun-a-plunkbat-story-in-two-parts/ quote:So they circle the whole area, hopping and dodging and weaving to avoid the incoming fire they’re expecting at any moment, and they’re getting behind the few trees there are in this wee final circle, hoping to find this guy, this ninja, this loving Plunkbat wizard who is giving them the business. They circle everything, and they do it again. They run past Haus several times, like RIGHT past him. They stop and look at him, and then move on. They circle again, they start shooting everything. Trees. Rocks. Grass. More rocks. There’s not even anything to shoot but they shoot it.

I can't believe how long it took me to figure out that hip firing is nearly useless. So many times I'd hipfire and completely miss my target only to have them kill me with a few well placed shots. Seems like that sort of thing should be spelled out. The reticle makes it seem like hip firing should be somewhat reliable. But no.

Bad news on the horizon apparentlyquote:Bluehole-Kakaogames to sign publisher agreement for PUBG (https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/6tlj5g/blueholekakaogames_to_sign_publisher_agreement/) quote:No articles I could find in english yet, so the Korean link will have to do for now. quote:Kakao is literally using their games as a loving cash cow to fund their other stuff, like taxi service ETC. They aren't a real publisher. This is actually disaster, don't expect this game to live the 10 years that PU wanted. Bluehole will be forced to add as many cash cow features as they can, then they will be downsized until only the bare minimum staff remain who can maintain and implement more skins or whatever, until no one plays it. The worst part is, despite the blatant monetization, they won't actually invest back into the game, all the money will go towards their taxi and other services. But let's keep talking about how reneging on the no-paid-content-in-EA-promise is no big deal

Apparently this is for Asia distribution. I doubt it will fly anywhere else. At least I hope so. It would be royally stupid to ruin the game this way. Streamers won't play the game, and the competitive scene will die meaning the game will die. https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/6tlj5g/blueholekakaogames_to_sign_publisher_agreement/dllzh66/ quote:You generally need a local partner to manage your game in some countries, namely South Korea and China.

This could be a marketing deal or just a deal with a company that has a local presence, there is nothing about giving full creative control. This sounds a lot more like, as the the article says, an agreement in Korea.. It's not unusual for software developers to use publishers in different regions.
