My group and I last night discovered that there are multiple levels of getting stinky. Normally we will land on the north eastern outskirts near the garage and surrounding buildings. This is typical stinkyness. Or, you can drop into the middle of goddamn town and be maximum stinky. The former gives you the benefit of probably not having to worry about anything but your west and south, the latter you probably need to worry about everything and it can get pretty loving stinky.

lots of games will go 'no, you were actually dead during that attack, it didn't happen'. not saying that happens here, obviously, but it exists.

I think my mid-game is pretty bad at the moment. I'm pretty happy with being agressive at the start and blasting lootgoblins and if I make it to the top 10 then I always figure I have a chance. But I just don't know what the gently caress to do in between - I've been trying to be more agressive and hunt people down, but it just seems to end up with me getting sniped. Guess I need to get smarter at moving around.

OH ya I don't expect to get good or even win by dropping into an empty place and looting for 20 minutes. I just like to do it for some reason sometimes because then I only get the poo poo scared out of me in small bursts. I usually start my night in school or pochinki and then when I need to chill I drop into nowhereville.

Projectiles seem to do zero damage if they hit after the shooter has been killed. I got shot with a crossbow in the shoulder at the start as I killed the dude that fired it at me. It did zero damage but I had it stuck in my shoulder for the rest of the game.

Maybe melee attacks are different ?

Even though you died first your ragdoll still has weight to it so when it hits the other player in the face it's enough to kill that player as well.

I feel it's really hard to practice aiming in this game considering that even the shortest cycle between games is at least 5-10 minutes (queue, wait for a minute, fly and land, find a weapon, get shot).

I just bought this game, but I wish there was a deathmatch arena to practice shooting guns at moving people (sort of like the beginning of the game!). Hell, even booting up a small area with some dumb bots running around. I just want to know what it feels like to consistently aim, shoot, and kill a bunch of people. I was using a 4x scope yesterday and I thought I was on target but found myself missing a lot more than hitting.

Blood is the only identifier on whether or not your shot hit correct? If you hit, blood will spew out?

I can say for sure that grenades work after death.

Yes, except I think for the crossbow. Or another good indicator would be "knocked out/killed" messages as well, but obviously not every hit is a kill :p

Also, you do have to lead and account for bullet drop in this game. So at distances larger than 100m most guns will require a bit of adjustment vertically/horizontally depending on your targets motion (if any).

The best justice in this game is when you get killed mid grenade throw and then kill the dude looting your corpse from beyond the grave.

I gave up after falling off the prison roof and not finding a gun, but I did find a grenade I decided to hold primed as someone decided to come punch me.

Suicide bombing doesn't result in a kill, I guess (as far as the message is concerned I guess, that guy knows how he died)

I was gonna try to talk about netcode and why sometimes you think they should die/you shouldn't die when you do/they don't. But I really don't know enough about it to talk about it other than the server decides and its different sometimes than what you see on your screen...and all games handle it slightly differently.

At least three people died between him killing you and the grenade going off.

It does that all the time, it's like the "killed a guy event fires, it displays the message, then the message gets updated with the appropriate count" I've briefly seen "0 kill" messages that way at the start of a round.

Totally surviving on my own. On LAND!
I just picked up this game yesterday and it's pretty fun so far. I'm glad I had a friend to duo queue with otherwise I'd be completely lost (literally and figuratively).

One thing I hope they add in the future is binoculars. Having to fight red dot versus 4x or 8x is no fun but at least if you can spot people you can position yourself better and give yourself a chance.

I saw there's a discord link in the OP, is that still the place to go to find people to play with?

I really hope they add binoculars as well. There have been many times when I want to check out a town before getting close. It would be nice if they added a rangefinder as well although I could that being a rare spawn.

Binoculars aren't going to change your odds in that situation much, eventually you'll get more comfortable with using sound to locate shots and it'll be just as effective as what you're looking for. Positioning yourself to not be in long distance fights with a red dot helps as well. Learn to use freelook the moment you hear shots to pinpoint their location. Even if you're in a house when you hear a shot, move the camera around. Watch a video of gun sounds by distance too; being able to tell the difference between gun types as well as 100m vs 400m is super important

Baby steps my friend, once you're able to use the pistols/shotguns/uzi you'll get to play sniper with all the stuff leftover to you, the victor

Husband sneaks up behind me and scares the poo poo out of me and then I land and get punched to death while missing someone over and over with a pistol.

(I was also recording with shadowplay and you can hear me shriek but its a bit ear-piercing to share here)
