It’s good in the sense that you can find another match pretty much instantaneously, but being decent at the game takes practice and a little bit of commitment. Being good requires being an rear end in a top hat to everyone else.

Everything but the last sentence is true, being an rear end in a top hat just makes you an rear end in a top hat. You might have better stats but people like entwo, jock, and spartacus are much easier to learn from and are actually fun to play with. Juniper has better stats than you and plays with bads much more often and is hilarious and encouraging.

I'm pretty sure he means being an rear end in a top hat to everyone else not in your squad, at the very least squad members can take hits instead of you so they're sort of like extra armour. Anything they do that isnt literally shooting/meleeing you or running you over, you can use in keeping yourself alive.

Re: the wiggle, 45 speed seems to be the best speed for distance so just mash w at a rate that keeps you about that speed

Going to try that chute trick, all I know is you'll get extra drop if you're going 234 (max speed) on pop so you need to fly over then start facing down long before the pop to build up speed

e:234

The guy who did all the long distance chute testing said about 20 was the optimal speed for max distance.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Running reshade helps, and I wasn't a complete basket case today.

I kept a better log this time. I'm getting much better landings at school, but there are so many people dropping there that I had a game where every loot spot I ran to has someone looting it.

Edit: The worst game was where I missed the drop, went apartments, stalked a guy I never saw, looted the care package, and died while holding the Grouser to a guy that was camping in the blue area. Hit nothing the entire round.

If you are landing at school with a ton of other people, and you don't land literally on top of a gun, just jump off the side of the roof (ideally onto one of the awnings so you don't take damage) and go loot something downstairs.

Then once you have a gun, start hunting and use the third person camera to peek every corner. The crouch+jump through the first floor windows is especially useful for the school.

Or just don't land school. Landing with a bunch of other people around is a huge dice roll. Early game jank is real. I've died because loot didn't load for me even though I was first on the ground.

Winning the school fight is really satisfying though and its easy to come out with 5+ kills if you get a gun early and shoot dudes.

I enjoy being an rear end in a top hat to people not on my squad. Using their downed team member as bait? Sure. Running towards gunshots and killing the winner as they are looting? Sounds fun to me.

Has performance for anyone else just poo poo the bed in the last few days? Tried playing last night and tonight and where I am usually fine with everything on ultra at 1920x1080, now I average around 15 fps with my memory usage at half and cpu at like 15%. Lowering settings doesn't help and bit and the game is now filled with lovely popping in textures.

After much discussion and some actual in-game testing we found that the shots/bullets to kill figures are inaccurate due to a rounding error. This chart here (whilst looks awful) has correct values:

Yeah, entwo and Juniper are great to play with. A lot of the people in the goon discord are (or were - maybe the tone has changed) assholes about who they'd play with, or talking poo poo in general. I'm playing with more relaxed groups now and having a lot more fun. Try your luck, see what happens.

I would honestly say to just go for it. Got a big rear end mousepad (approx. 18x18 inch)? If the answer is yes, then maybe you have to change your seating position. I have my arm positioned so my elbow is just off the edge of the table while the rest of my forearm is just resting on the table. You might have to raise or lower your chair so the position is neutral when you just lay your arm on the table. Try not to have your arms too far away to the side from you body and also try to have them more or less equidistant from your body so you are not sitting crooked. This could mean that your keyboard is slightly in the way if you have a huge one. If that is the case you can tilt it a bit like this https://i.imgur.com/ljmAkkR.jpg (don't pay any attention to this guys tiny mousepad).

Also remember there is no one true best sensitivity so you might end up being comfortable with a slightly higher or lower sensitivity than a baseline of for example 50 in game, 6/11 windows, 400dpi. I'd say play a few games with a sense and adjust according to what feels comfortable to you. Don't be afraid of playing around with it slightly. Muscle memory is not that big of a factor in my opinion and especially not in a game like this where your fps isn't constant.
It's a trade off of slightly more cumbersome looting for more accuracy and you have to find the right balance for you.

I was playing earlier today and I shot a guy off the back of a buggy, the driver left him. Ran up to him to execute him and he crawled towards me. I said hi to him, and he said “take my stuff and kill people,” so that’s what I did. I have to remember to unmute local comms more often.

Does it still open your mic with voice detection enabled instead of push to talk? I'd love to have it on during the game but gently caress having to change the setting every time I unmute after getting out of the plane.

I've had it switch back to voice detection only a couple of times over the last month and someone in the discord group had it happen to them today, it's not completely gone but generally it does seem to stay at what you set it to.
