A revolution of beats
Getting back into the game after taking a break for a few months. I see my twitch gear is worth a half decent amount of cash. Should I sell it all now or just wait and hope that the price will go up?

sell now

TF2 stuff goes down and up but nobody ever knows which is which so get in while its valuable imo


since its loot that can't be duplicated any more odds are not poor it will go up, but i can sell a genuine gun on TF2 for 35 cents and those are one of a kind, so be aware.

No kidding. I had a month break and snuck in two rounds. Shanked the first and then the second got my first ever chicken dinner with 12 kills, quite anti climatic really. Just got a 1440p monitor though and it's real nice for spotting compared to 1920x1200.

you can actually run this game above 1920x1200?

I imagine I'd be better at 4k but considering all but two pro streamers are at 1920x12XX pretty sure I'd just continue my tradition of getting headshot from the blue, just in greater fidelity

That's got to be the most obvious hacking I have ever seen. Look at that firing through the hill poo poo directly your the head and tracking as you move when he's got no sight at all. And of course the headshot the instant you peek, which I guess is theoretically possible but c'mon, every single shot hits

I don't think we ever got a conclusion to the question of draw distance. Does it still do anything to the draw distance of foliage? I've got mine on very low, but if that's why I have a hard time telling where vehicles are as I drop in I probably want to try changing that.

Is there a downside to Yasnaya Polyana that is why so few people drop there? I've noticed the giant building out east and the building identical to the prison just a bit west of there tend to have great loot but I never see anyone there when I drop in.

What range do you all tend to keep your ARs zeroed when outside of cities? I've been keeping it at 100, but I'm wondering if I should hop up to 200. Or does it not really matter in your experience?

Yasnaya can be tough to get out of if you have to go south or west, which you usually will, because it's nothing but open fields.

My first ever solo chicken dinner.

Second guy should have died much quicker but I thought I'd get him in the middle of the warehouse so I could loot without worrying about getting shot. My mistake.

Third guy should have killed me but I got lucky.

Both shadowplay and plays.tv have settings that only record your mic when you press a key if you're using PTT. Probably easier to use that (or just mute your mic when you're solo)

I wasn't aware of the hotkey-to-voiceover setting in shadowplay, I'll enable it. My window fan and loud keyboard don't really serve to enhance the videos, and I very rarely talk to people in-game.

With a 2x or 4x I just go ahead and bump it to 200, so center mass will still hit at a decent variety of ranges, and if they're a little closer in center mass may get a headshot. Caveat emptor I am bad and have gotten a few top 10s and one #2.

try keeping your 4x at 300 at its lowest

seriously though, how many millions more copies do they have to sell before they can tell the game I don't live in Asia? and why do I still have to refresh my UI every time the party switches from 1PP to 3PP? harumph

It's really only one or two people per match at most, often times none. Because they are, I'm assuming, 14yr old boys who think saying the n-word is edgy, they certainly are quite loud about it, as 14yr old boys tend to be when they learn a new swear.

I was gonna post the same thing, and maybe add a guess that it's more prevelant on NA servers since the only time I heard them was queuing with NA goons and never solo EU

but now I just got off an EU duos with a bunch of "heil hitlers" in the lobby so maybe euros just do their racism in groups

FPP feels really awkward because it's moving like a third person game with the camera taped to the playermodel's forehead, so all the movement feels like you're trying to drive a loving bus through a labyrinth.

I tried the Asia server last night and got my easiest top ten so far, but it didn't count in my stats for some reason. Also, I had someone sprint directly at the front of my buggy and try to pull off a headshot with a pistol at the last second. It did not end well for them.

The stats are server dependant, you may not have been looking at your stats from the Asia server? Did you wait long enough for the match to finish as well?
