Rex-Goliath posted:I've only played three games so far but I haven't been having any trouble with loot so far. Guessing the other posters who were struggling before have just been unlucky? I dunno Looting can be slower, but because the map feels so big you have more time to loot if you don't have to fight immediately. The extra time makes up for the loot being less dense. The loot might not even be less dense, we just might not know the best places yet.

You actually leave the plane facing the direction your camera was pointing before jumping. GOTY Another observation: This map just feels all-around more dangerous which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Oh also: The green things on the palm trees are bullet proof. Even their leaves. Fuckin plant stole my kill. PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Dec 8, 2017 |

Did they change AWM or level 2 helmets? Level 2 helmet shot off of me left me with 1 hp twice. I should have been dead both times.

helmet now protects the neck area so it takes damage but doesn't get the headshot bonus damage modifier maybe?

Bhodi posted:ahhaha the new map is garbage, it's larger and more spread out but the loot is ultra trash and all the buildings have twice as many pointless rooms. Even in the military base there's basically one building with decent loot and if you drop in the city good luck even finding a rifle before getting popped in the head from 1km out because everything is so absurdly open Yeaaaaaaah, I don't know about the loot but too many small rooms and there's real problem with needing vehicles to get to circles but a lack of roads. The road layout is awful. This is going to be a map where you get killed a lot driving a vehicle or running across open fields. Carecat fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Dec 9, 2017 |

What's the point of the Winchester? What's its damage? Can it kill in one headshot through level 1/2 helmets? Because if not I don't know why you would pick it up.

As far as 1.0 test server performance goes, the initial game lag is awful and I don't think it's just me.

8/9 times the game has crashed trying to join a match on the test server. Never had (major, consistent) issues with it before. Anyone else unable to play on test server?

Tab8715 posted:As far as 1.0 test server performance goes, the initial game lag is awful and I don't think it's just me. That's because there's 100 people on the substandard servers they use for testing (seriously, the difference between that and the live versions are massive). Once half of them die or crash or leave it's fine.

I haven't tried the new map but why does the Winchester need an end game point at all; it might be all you find at the start and if it kills things seems good to me.

The test servers are super painful until it gets down to the 30s. On this map, loving around looting and then thinking you can drive into the zone is a bad idea, there are a lot of cliffs and drop offs. Also the microbus can rollover at the drop of a hat. Framerate tanked for me one match and the game crashed the instant I died, so I think something was going on there. CitizenKain fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Dec 9, 2017 |

I love how the scaling is still completely hosed. Chocotaco was standing next to a burned out car prop and he's barely taller than the bottom of the window sill.

Croccers posted:What? It’s weird. The map itself seems larger but the cities are much more complex and compact and dangerous. It really seems like they made it with the vaulting in mind. It’s going to take a while to get used to but it’s fun. There’s also less cover between cities and the light colored sand seems to make your silhouette stand out more. Plus the lack of trees with leaves allows much less visual cover.

The performance improvements are great. Trading the cover of trees/bushes for verticality is dope. The game almost seems like it runs too smooth now -- almost floaty compared to the janky mess of the current version But are there any good god drat arguments for why both maps shouldn't be smaller? The scale is impressive and all, but the it increases the likelihood of the three PUBG gameplay mechanics: 1. Getting bad circles and dying out of the zone regardless of what you do. Dominating early game and then wasting 20 auto-running hoping the circle + vehicle RNG is favorable to you is terrible gaming. 2. Vast open space to increase the likelihood of getting a random instant death kar98 headshot from someone you can't see or have any chance to fight against because RNG has only gifted you a red dot scope. 3. Being lulled into a routine bore given the massive scale of the map and not expecting some idiot hiding in a bathtub with a shotgun. Keep the massive maps for varying possibilities and experiences, but just shave 1/3 or 1/2 off the possible landing area at initial drop. Yes, this will increase the early game congestion and randomness of early fights, but the time between 60 and 20 people alive (1st circle and 3rd/4th circle?) is so dull. As someone that primarily plays squads, the most interesting/tactical experiences are positioning and raiding of an enemy camp. Or being forced to be cautious because any compound could have a team in it. Dying after 20+ minutes of gameplay just because you are forced by RNG to expose yourself for a 120 second run across the desert or wheat field to be picked off by people lucky enough to find scopes is lame and has nothing to do with strategy or FPS skill. Even if you want to be ultra aggressive and force fights to get action/loot it's not unreasonable to go 5-20 minutes without action or even hearing action.

I love the new car physics. They dont feel insane wacky-races-esque anymore, but i still just rolled a truck 8 times and the drove away. (It slowed down greatly after roll 3, so i just sat there, cheeks in my hands, watching with glee as i slowly rolled downhill in an indestructible truck  )It's super fun.

Oh man, it's been a while since I have laughed this hard before (with Laenas) due to the game with Roll drat Tide. Yesterday, our squad of four makes it to the last 5, in the fields, everyone is prone and the one guy takes out everyone except for RDT. Blue is closing in. Both of the players stand up and square off with each other, rather than running to the white. RDT pulls out his... pan.... then his revolver... then his UMP, hits the guy twice but still loses. We make fun of pan and pistol moment and we are done for the night. We play with him again today and I ask him about it, he states that he uses the mousewheel to change his weapons. Well why don't you use the numeric button we ask, and he responds with "What and take my hand off the mouse to change weapons?", implying the number pads. Also proceeds to crash and burn the vehicle he's driving.

Good soup! posted:I enjoy that the sound of the parachute detaching or whatever when I land no longer destroys my ear drums Oh yeah that’s another thing they fixed: the landing is so much smoother now. It’s not you hitting the ground and sitting there for a few seconds as you wait for it to register. You cut the cord and run as soon as you hit the ground. It’s great

Is it just me or do vehicles run through gas way faster on the new map now? First time I ever had a truck run dry on me before. Also the vehicles handle way differently now, which makes driving tons more fun. Fish tailing through an open field was hilarious and equally good at evading the douche trying to hit me with a SCAR.
