Yeah, they've had to cancel a drop like twice now? I feel bad for these casters, though I'm not watching right now, so maybe they're handling it all right?

Maybe get all these idiots to stop tabbing out to OBS/Twitch as soon as the server starts to load them in.

Increase the time before the circle starts moving by 100% Increase the speed at which the circle closes by 100% Increase the damage done by the circle by 300% Maybe this doesn't magically solve all the game's "issues" but across all the games I've played I have three recurring complaints with the default gameplay: First: the early circles barely tickle you. Drop for a car, drive all the way south to the military base, loot the entire thing, come away with 5-10 meds and you can happily boost/heal your way through 5 or 10 or more consecutive minutes of the early circles. Replace military base with whatever decent loot location is far from the plane flight path. Increasing circle damage means you don't ever want to spend time in the blue, ever. The first strategy in peoples' minds should be "how do I ensure I spend no time inside the deadly blue circle?" Second: The optimal strategy in most mid/late games is to stick to the edge of the circle and spiral inwards as it gets ready to/starts to move. Usually this is because if you're on the edge of the circle you only need to cover threats from a field 180 degrees or less, as opposed to 360 degrees if you plop yourself in the circle's center. Increasing the speed at which the circle closes means you can't sit on the edge until it's about to move, you need to get yourself to safety ahead of time which means exposing yourself to greater than 180 degrees of threat. Third: Maybe the absolute least enjoyable part of duos or squad games is when you get in a full blown firefight in the mid/late game and it spells death for both teams involved because, oops, you didn't end the firefight in 20 seconds which means now the circle is going to engulf both teams. Or, even lamer, when you spot a team/squad but don't want to engage because if you start a fight you won't have time to get to the next circle. Increasing the time before the circle starts moving gives you more time to avoid the more deadly circle (at least in this proposal) and more time to engage in hectic late-game firefights without the terrible anticlimax of killing all your enemies and then succumbing meekly to the blue, or meekly avoiding the fight altogether (and then getting shot in the back). None of this magically makes this game a Quality eSport (tm) and maybe it isn't even possible to jive up these numbers with the current default map size (it's too big). tl;dr the blue circle should be way scarier, but it should ALSO always be your fault if you die to it.

Is the vektor (sp) still in the game? tbh I only saw it once, a month ago, and the dude using it kept murdering people left and right.

Replace the electrogas with exploding collars, if you're out of bounds you don't take damage but if you stay out too long and you explode and die instantly.

You know what could be interesting is instead of making that a time limit you could make it a function of a ratio on how many players are in vs out. Like once the circle is drawn it's considered active immediately and once 90% (or whatever, I dunno) of the remaining players are inbounds the remaining 10% get popped. Or maybe give it at least some timer so that people far away at least have a chance, I dunno. Actually this idea is probably bad but I'm gonna mash 'submit' anyways

Want me to suck your toes? I like when players engage in voice, if they fix the bullshit early game break your ears problem I think more players would leave voice unmuted.

How about: damage taken in the blue is permanent. It lowers your max HP. So when you escape the blue, you don't have to immediately heal, because it'll do nothing, and there's no incentive to stay in it because it's slowly making all your healing items useless one tick at a time.

I think the early zones are just too long, over emphasizing the looting. Some tweaks like ~ quicker early zones, more damage in the blue, limiting the fuel to stop people being to traverse the map at will or move out to a remote location will condense things a bit more.

Yes this, but the timing should be random. If they want the game to be purely about skill in scavenging + surviving + shooting, and not about playing the meta wall game, they need to make it impossible to predict how long you can spend outside the wall so you're heavily discouraged from exploiting it to sneak up on someone who doesn't expect someone to be outside of it, but give them enough time to book it back in if they have bad luck and get suddenly stuck outside. Like, you're just told "proceed to the circle SOON". It might kill you in 1 minute, it might be 5, you don't know, but if you move now you'll make it in enough time.

Actually a pretty elegant solution could be to make it so that you can't heal while in the blue. Or drastically reduce the efficacy of healing items

Yeah I'm not sure what issue you're trying to address. Those firefights in the blue are really tense because of the stakes - getting knocked down means your team has to stop running or leave you behind, it's great. I think the later circles should have their duration increased but the blue damage is fine - you *should* have a long time to get to the first circle even if you're outside the blue.

Always be running towards gunfire. If you're ending matches with less than 5 kills you should feel bad.

I don't think there is an issue other than the least fun part of the game is the looting phase which can go on a bit. In other news - duo FPP much better than yesterday. They guy who does the post match interviews is terrible though. He keeps telling people that they won through luck and what do they think about that.

So if you see that there's someone else going for your spot, you can cut your chute and risk damage or death to hit the ground first.

The best part of the game is when the circle forces groups to engage. I'm not a big fan of looting and running, I played enough DayZ for that.

Like instead of complaining you ought to celebrate that the game can be played in so many different ways. You can have fun in whatever way you like best! Sometimes I like to drop in a hot zone, other times I like to drop in a more moderate spot, where you have the tension of balancing smart looting versus the risk of someone else coming along and murking you. Early game can be tense as gently caress even if you don't drop school or military.

The game is great, but it's early access and not perfect. Seems reasonable to talk about tweaks that could make it better. I love it when squads are trying to work a section, which tends to happen later in the game, but I'm sure other people like other aspects.

If there's a problem with any circle, it's probably the first. I wouldn't be averse to it taking longer but also doing more damage once it's past.

First circle isn't so bad once you realize the best way to handle crossing the map isn't by making a beeline towards it- but running down the nearest road until you find a vehicle. I haven't had to run any marathons since figuring that out.
