Hey guys complaining about RNG. Start dropping at school/military base instead of the middle of nowhere.

This could be neat (?). I haven't tried Shadowplay. https://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/playerunknowns-battlegrounds-adds-shadowplay-highlights-and-hbao-plus quote:...today at a special NVIDIA event at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, the developers PUBG took to the stage to announce that the world’s most popular multiplayer shooter has been enhanced with ShadowPlay Highlights.

Anything that does automatically at best guess something that you can otherwise control precisely with a single press of a button just sounds annoying as hell. Also, every single time nvidia has updated shadowplay (or SHARE as its now called, because nvidia hates easily searchable terms?) they have made it worse, so I have no doubt this will be a hard drive filling trash fire gimmick that pretty much everyone will disable at first opportunity

Well they were too busy implementing the feature everyone wanted, which was mandatory signups and logins to use Shadowplay.

Just Chamber posted:Everyone starts with a crossbow with a single bolt And you can't loot other people's bolts so you only get one insta gib chance and if you want it for the end you have to lug around an xbow...or maybe it doesn't work after two minutes. Last thing about forcing a kar and a scope to spawn in pochinki turns it into a treasure hunt for the lot goblins and you'll never leave till you find it. It's unnecessary information that you're guaranteed any sort of loot except bullets for the guns that drop and way too many baseball hats.

WhatEvil posted:In poker one game has many many hands which are basically all distinct, and your luck evens out across a tournament. Of course over many games of PUBG your luck will also even out, but one "hand" (i.e. your starting drop location's loot) is potentially 30 minutes long. Not really the same thing. I don't think this is quite the right way to interpret PUBG's random game. A single game is a table with many hands, and the first hand you're dealt is based on where you choose. You choose high loot high competition spots, you're essentially going all in to try and get a boost in the later engagements. You can also play low risk, but then you're ceding control of the late game to ride your way to it, you might not have the resources to take on later fights properly, just like a poker player who is just coasting rather than trying to build their stack. I think the key problem to making it competitive is the reality that no player can consistently win every game, so having a player's status in the tournament be based on a singular game is just going to be way too swingy to be exciting. The ideal tournament structure might be one with a continually rising minimum threshold of points or something, with players being eliminated if they can't keep up with this threshold, points tallied across games. That way a premature death isn't a certain knockout from the tournament. A win isn't a guarantee of a total win, but rather a comfortable buffer so you can play more conservatively later on when it really counts. At any rate it'd be interesting to see what structure works, but I doubt you can get away with less than 3-4 games to really shake out the field fairly.

Qmass posted:The RNG really is not bad in this game. It is so rare to the point of being exceptional (as it should) that you come away from a drop alive and lacking an AR. Any more certainty would make the game boring... The effect of RNG decreases as your play becomes more aggressive. If you are hiding, moving slowly or away from players, and generally avoidant of conflict, of course your wins/success will be aggressively influenced by RNG. causticBeet fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Aug 22, 2017 |

Fpp is really the best. I just had a game with two kills, which isn't notable, except that for each kill I stalked the dudes for like 2-3 minutes to make sure that I would have no issues killing them. The first guy walked into a poo poo shack, and it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Even though I had a P92 and he had an M4. A better player would have noticed me for sure, but even an idiot playing 3pp probably would have noticed me too.

A lot of my friends have started solely playing that now just because it's easier to play more strategically.

Did they mess with how sound works at all lately, or has anyone noticed that sound works differently in fpp vs tpp? I'm suddenly finding it way way harder to echo-locate nearby footsteps, gunshots, engines, everything. It's very strange because it's not like the effect is diminished or anything, it's straight up not there any more.

Drove through a field to find a place to hole up in the new circle. Saw some houses, went right at them and oh gently caress poo poo gently caress I'm being shot at. I bailed right at the first house, intending to use it for cover to shoot the guy shooting me, but another guy in another car came in hot. Ran into the small house, slammed the door behind me. There wasn't any cover, so I fled into the bathroom and shut the door. House friend and car friend had a fight, and I am pretty sure house friend won. I listened to him stalking around, looking for me, throwing grenades. He knew I was there. He hadn't heard me leave. He was hunting. After a few minutes, I heard him enter my tiny house. He moved around a little, then went right to the bathroom. He had on his person an AR, a sniper rifle, multiple frag grenades, heals for days- an enormous inventory of tools to murder me sideways. Motherfucker ran right up to the door and opened it, whereupon I blasted him across the chest with a 12 gauge from inches. I did not know you could yell at people on VOIP after you died.  Megasabin posted:I've found the game incredibly improved performance wise after the last two patches. I've been able to crank every setting up to high/medium with a stable 80-90FPS. I run the game on high/ultra for a lot of things ( not grass ) and it runs silky smooth except those first few minutes. It isn't even consistently bad. Some games load fine and I'm right in from the start. Other games load for poo poo and the buildings are all weird. Happens way more in FPP than TPP, which is a shame, because I really do like FPP more. That and the locational sound being kinda 'eh' are the only problems I have with the game.

Do I need to have the Test Server installed to queue for FPP servers? If so I'll have to set it to download over night because my internet is dogshit. ( )Played my third game just now, got my first ever kill after emptying a full auto P18C into a dude's back. Reloaded, waited for any friends of his to come out and hunt me, or for anyone to come out and try to loot him, got shot by someone completely unrelated with an SKS from a treeline 150m away.
