I'll probably play around with the crossbow more if I can find them frequently.

I've been considering playing on a non-US server and using the crossbow every time I run into one. It's actually surprisingly effective when you're doing stealth strategies, since people tend to hold still behind cover when they don't think anyone could be behind them. I think I'll probably try to get 2000 rank before that though so I can pretend I'm going to ESL

puberty worked me over posted:My honest suggestion for people with poop reaction times and/or aim is to drop in unpopulated spots, find a scope, and learn how to lead shots and pay attention to the tick marks on the scopes. I think this screenshot really highlights the fact that the rating formula weighs heavily on volume. Compare that with this https://pubg.me/player/Enigma89/squad and see how much lower the rating is. Not calling you out specifically, but it is interesting to see that rating really favors volume of games. The more you play, the higher your rating will be regardless if your stats are really that decent or not.

Even if you're winning every single game, which is a statistical miracle, you still need like 30 games to get to a decent rating. You don't just climb by volume though, you climb towards your true rank by volume. If someone with 25 games played wins a lot more than someone with 400 games played, but is ranked lower, it's because the former hasn't played enough games yet to climb to his true rank, whereas the latter probably has.

speaking of ratings, all fpp modes are just people stomping on noobs forever i guess since there's no stat tracking so no matchmaking either kind of explains why streamers are breaking all sort of kill records, and how shroud went on like a 9 win streak the other day

Well, I guess volume explains why my rating is where it is despite no wins in the current season. Not sure what kind of algorithm determines that stuff but apparently 0-3 kills per game means that you are still better than hundreds of thousands of other people.

I wouldn't have thought switching perspectives would have any effect on that stuff, but what the gently caress do I know?

I think it more about how they don't want people to care till they get it to a state they like. If it had stats and matchmaking people would try hard and really get pissed at the bugs. Having played both for a little while, FPP really feels like how they game should be played.

Yes it was a serious post. There are ways to come up with formulas that can help stabilize ratings between people with 500 games vs people who have 50 games. On a side note, they look like they want this game to be an esport but I have no idea how the hell are they going to do. WWIIOL had a formula for the top fighters that would crush people who had a ton of games but a poo poo load of deaths, you could have 1/5th as many sorties as someone and still score over them if you had cleaner stats. How the hell do you score it and declare a winner? 100 people play 5 rounds? Do you get points if you get a certain placement? What if you have someone that won 1 game and is the first person to die the last 4 games and you have someone else who never got chicken dinner but placed in top 5 every game? 1500 posted:I think it more about how they don't want people to care till they get it to a state they like.

I thought I was going to vomit as soon as I stood up. Must be the head bob?

I'd be really interested to see the user stats on FPP vs TPP both when FPP first came out and now. I'm sure there would be a huge spike in people trying FPP when it first launched but right now it would be neat to see the user base break down between the two game modes.

KingKapalone posted:This was said a couple pages back: if you want a stream then just watch chocotaco's. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/167031692 it is decent for learning how to play, as he discusses strategy while he's playing and can illustrate what someone really good with the weapons looks like. ChocoTaco is super chill but everytime I watch he's playing third person solo's, that can get boring as hell. I like watching high level FPP game play, and especially duos and squads. I'd recommend Summit1G, DrDisRespectLIVE, BreaK and Sacriel (Kind of like ChocoTaco with the learning thing, but a little more action I think and British af) as well as ChocoTaco. Honestly, I love Dr because it's entertaining as gently caress, and I like Summit because he's good as gently caress and kind of the opposite personality of Doc.

While it is a lot of fun to watch, not sure if this game works as an esport. Of the modes, squad has the best chance. It is a little bit less random (less chances of just getting blown away in the first few min, I have seem even some of the best players go on major loss streaks). It is also

Not sure what kind of algorithm determines that stuff but apparently 0-3 kills per game means that you are still better than hundreds of thousands of other people. If you think about it, if you are averaging more than a kill per game then someones gotta be averaging less than a kill a game to balance that out.

I pretty much jump school or military base every game and somehow I have a 4.5 KDR for solo and 4.1 KDR for squads according to https://pubg.me/player/stealthgerbil I think all of the games where I die instantly at the school balance out the games where I get 10+

For any sort of e-sport to be successful they would need to change how people advance in tournaments. I would personally base it more on BP earned in the current game than where you place at the end of the game. That way kills and damage actually have significant weight and people are encouraged to fight in order to advance. So the top, idk, 10-20 in BP would advance regardless of rank (a lot of them would likely be in the top 10-20 anyways, ranking points get pretty big the higher you get).

The creators of the game could also keep like 10% so that they're still profiting from it. It would be a great way to raise the stakes of a game and put some more money in their pockets.

This is basically guaranteed not to happen because of gambling laws, but they could probably introduce a similar system with a BP buy-in.

Even if they did introduce a BP buy-in I'd still love to do it. Hearthstone has a thing where you can use points to buy into a 'arena' type thing, and that's a lot of fun. I'd imagine it would have a pretty good reception overall if it was introduced.

How the hell do you crouch jump out of windows? I've seen people do it on the second floor of the barn for example but I just can't. I've no trouble crouch jumping fences or over barrels and other stuff but those drat windows are driving me crazy.

  Pretty proud of this win for two reasons 1) I got 4 kills in Top 7 (One dude got another, and lightning actually killed that guy) 2) I AFK'd on the school rooftop to get ready for work for a few minutes and came back unharmed.

Jumping in this game is really weird. Sometimes I'll try a running jump over a fence and completely miss. But the fence is so low that it seems like you should just be able to step over it. So then in order to jump over the fence you just missed you need to back up and take another running jump. It's like your hands don't exist in this game. Jumping feels really awkward and most of the time I just go around obstacles instead of trying to jump over them.

It's like your hands don't exist in this game. I would say that jumping and most of the physics just seem rather awkward. I don't know if that is because the game is in development, or that the developers don't have experience with this type of game play. I haven't experienced such strange physics in many years.
