Lemon posted:I do this, not because it makes you quieter (it doesn't) but because most people still wear shoes, so it helps to differentiate between your footsteps and others. It's not the volume really, but theres definitely less bass to the indoor barefoot sound compared ti the shoes one that imo makes it less noticeable Maybe just placebo though

My squad and I all run barefoot and I can instantly hear when a stranger enters my building, which is nice

Hnng I just lost two fights in a row where I had headshots lined up but missed them due to having my zeroing wrong in the first instance and being to close to my UAZ and hitting that instead in the second. Both entirely my fault but still annoying as heck.

Its also waaay too much zoom and I'd be much happier finding an 8x than a 15x. Might change with variable zoom though, interesting add.

Most of the time when I see streamers use one they will almost always favor the 8x over the 15x if they have the option. Part of it is that I think because it's so rare nobody is used to using it.

Way back when they were first put in my squadmate had a suppressed Kar98 with the 15x and a ghille suit and he was god tier with it. One shot was well over a kilometer and he ended up with 11 kills total, we had like 22 or 23 total between the 4 of us. To this day it was the best win I've had that wasn't solo, it just felt like we were on another level. The last circle saw him switch to a 4x and hide in a bush while we just maneuvered and called out targets to him. He'd either kill them outright or wound them enough so we could plink them. Yeah though, I think I've seen a 15x maybe 3 or 4 times and I probably have close to 1,000 games total.

15x actually doesn't suck, it makes winning peeking battles with idiots in buildings or by trees trivial.

WhatEvil posted:School just isn't worth it anymore for the level of loot you get out of it. Unless you're some kind of surgeon with a shotgun, which I'm not, then it always feels like a crapshoot and you come out with lovely loot. Duplexes at western Yasnaya are great too if the flight path misses Georgi. Just don’t fall for the the trap apartments, they suck. School is a mixed bag. If I have time I can run to apartments or Roz and clean up/loot for equipment, but if a ton of people drop I might not have time. The key is not to try and loot every nook of the school. Just do a pass through the roof, gym, auditorium and maybe peek in some of the classrooms as you run by. Skip the pool house, it sucks.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:I've had real poo poo luck at the power plant every time too, even though so many people seem to drop there whenever i pass by. Good loot areas are just as much about looting speed as number of spawns. Tons of stuff spawns in apartments but they are 3 stories and you have to open 50 doors as well. Duplexes have a ton of spawns and only 2-3 doors to open so you can dash through and grab what you need. The Power plant is nice if you bring a vehicle but it takes some time to loot and it’s on the edge of the map so you might be chasing the circle.

Tweak posted:Of reasons to hand wave away being impressed Shroud, the idea that he gets extra loot and thus an easier game is pretty weak Old post, but I'm watching him right now and it reminded me of this. Having a dozen players that you're all better than commit suicide by running face first into your gun barrel must be an interesting experience. He almost ran out of ammo but the next guy who ran at him didn't really bother shooting back and, well look at that, he was fully loaded. Yeah, sometimes one of them will kill the streamer. But most times he destroys them all, it's not close, and he then gets the loot and vehicles they had. Anywhere this guy lands in the map, between 1-5 schmucks will be driving out to greet him. Not an advantage? okay.

New video published! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYCwkpWcdP8 Enjoy! Hopefully a little easier to watch. I cut the fat and made the whole thing a lot shorter. There are some sweet highlight style moments mixed in to break up the full game sequences. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks for the pointers last time.

Vaulting is in the test servers now and while I didn't expect mirrors edge movement, I do wish hopping over some items was more fluid than run into object -> stop -> press space (hope you don't jump). Pretty jarring when compared to how fast you could rush through a window, for instance. Can't wait to see what weird roof top camping areas this opens up

I feel like I’m giving up a secret because whenever I play squad we never run into anyone else here but whatever: the apartments on the north shore above georgeopol have always given us extremely good gear. The one catch is that vehicle spawns are rare so you almost always need to designate a vehicle hunter amongst your team while everyone else marks good weapons and armor for them to pick up once they return with some wheels.

Or do that and then hop in a boat. There seem to be quite a few boat spawns there.

North George is great and every time I advocate a drop there my team gets confused like the idea never occurred to them. It's always a pretty great spot though.

Yeah the catch is if the circle is on the other side of the map you gotta haul rear end ASAP because in all likelihood you won’t be getting a vehicle. This is why we designate vehicle-hunters because once we know we’re secure that area is great pickins

They changed vehicle sounds and made the plane like 40% quieter, and it makes the game sound way better. Also, in Settings, under Gameplay, there is a setting for "Icon Killfeed" which 1) turns the killfeed into CS:GO style killfeed, and 2) moves it to the upper right corner below XX Left. Patch of the Year.

Helter Skelter posted:It's built in to the jump button, or you can assign separate jump only/vault only buttons. Yea and it's a little better with a designated key, but I still just imagine dying doing a vault animation where I used to be able to fly over something with crouch jump. Vaulting through a window breaks the glass as well and it freaks me out every time, especially when it thinks I jumped through a window but only vaulted near a window and plays the glass breaking sound. Oh my god vehicles are so much better, both in sound and maneuverability

Thanks everyone who came into the channel me, Juniper and Entwo were in, 15 minutes after the test server opened to ask us about literally every bullet point on the patch notes, each. Thanks.tote up a bags posted:Is the parkour fun or is it janky as poo poo PLEASE say its not janky I only played a little bit of test, and it seems mostly fine. My biggest gripe is that vaulting interrupts your reloading where crouch jumping didn't. Party Plane Jones posted:Problem that specific place is unless you find a boat under the bridge or a vehicle in the garage by the bridge you're hosed. There isn't a huge number of car spawns in that whole area. Or some idiot inevitably drives through ruins or the surrounding hills and flips the car. The general problem with far drop strategies is even if everything goes well there's a chance to just get slaughtered on the edge of the first circle because you were so far away you had no intel on any enemy positions as you come in to that first circle.
