Yeah, these maps are too big. And I can think of a few other things that could improve the game also. I mean, if we're going to shrink the maps a bit, maybe we should lower the player count too? Maybe we could just start with 20 people, then you get all the excitement of the final circle right from the get go! Hmm, but how will you do that without all the looting? Oh, I know, we'll let people choose weapons to start with! We can call them "loadouts." Another thing I was thinking is that with 20 people, it might make sense to just put everybody on two teams and let them fight it out. But I guess matches would be over really soon. Oh wait! We can give everyone the ability to respawn quickly after death! I guess we'll need some sort of time limit or score limit to determine a winner though. Welp there you have it, PUBG is fixed!

A friend gifted me this game for Christmas after I swore I’d never spend money on it. It’s okay. It’s also weird being a huge ArmA vet because my team has some survival/FPS people who constantly need to optimize their drop spot and get the best guns with all scopes and enough supplies that they’ll lose immediately. Meanwhile myself and another ArmA friend take whatever shows up at a remote parachute location and then worry about movement and positioning. I managed to do a solo run (on my third-ish game ever) and get sub 15 purely by that. I had only a 1911 and the break action shotgun for my one kill, stumbled onto an M16 later. Got killed because I injured a man on a roof and expected him to either be watching stairs/moving but he chanced exposing himself to shoot me just before I snuck closer. I could have played it better but WOOPS I got bored with playing smart. I’ll play with friends but it sure doesn’t seem like there’s a balance between “loot and play super conservatively because that wins games” and “throw a grenade one at one door and sprint around the side/back with an uzi and mag dump” since you’ll probably die and then need to do a whole extra cycle of spawning, dropping, looting, etc. Is that fairly accurate, even as I get better at the game? Mind you I’m not trying to say it’s a terrible game, just wondering if I should keep chasing my ideals or just reserve the game to “when my buds want to play.”

Bit of an overstatement when the bottom coast, north and west edges are almost underused. Yes if end circles ever went there it would help but it might have been a more interesting map if it was a bit smaller and they used those ideas to replace some of the towns.

Bluehole has confirmed that the overwhelming majority of hacking bans are from China, also the way the netcode works now having a bad ping can be a huge advantage because there doesn't seem to be a cutoff on lag correction (though this could be solved relatively easily by unfucking the netcode).

You're not wrong but you're not right either. Fortunately you're on the 'correct' side of being a loot-goblin which is to say you're not being one so it'll be an easier habit for you to foster. Essentially you want to spend the first part of the game looting your area until you have armor, an assault rifle, meds of some sort, and hopefully optics so you can aim more easily. Once that's covered you go off and start hunting people who in all likelihood are still looting so you can take their stuff. Once you've played a few rounds like that instead of hunting for people find a vehicle and chase after crates. That's when the game gets really fun.

It's okay for portions of a game to be "boring" if it ratchets up the tension. If you're one of those people with like several hundred hours and you're not surprised by anything anymore then congrats, it's time to get on to weirder poo poo for your boner.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I’ll play with friends but it sure doesn’t seem like there’s a balance between “loot and play super conservatively because that wins games” and “throw a grenade one at one door and sprint around the side/back with an uzi and mag dump” Over-looting and playing super conservatively doesn't actually win you games any more than playing more aggressively. It might help you more consistently get into the top quarter of the field, but at that point you're going up against a bunch of players who've each got a few kills under their belt, so you're going to be out-geared against them because they got all the good loot from their kills while you were scrounging around for 20 minutes to find a loadout that is merely ok. If I'm not going to do a full on hot drop on the school or hacienda (which I don't do too often because I don't have the reaction time to be successful in those twitchy close range battles), then I like to find an area that has a bunch of decent sized buildings, then land on the outskirts of it on a smaller grouping of buildings. The small grouping won't have anyone else on it, so you're generally free to loot whatever is there for a minute, then you take whatever you get and head towards the big grouping and get a kill or two quickly on the guys who are staring at the ground looking for an Uzi stock or distracted by other players. Remember that most players aren't Shroud or Chocotaco, who can calmly kill 6 different guys shooting at them in 4 seconds. Go aggressively at someone, and most players panic and spin around in circles, even if they're in a building. I know this because that's what I do alot of times when someone comes at me guns blazing from out of nowhere. There's no pointless weapon in the game, they can all get kills. Except the crossbow, that thing is only used because it's drat near impossible to get kills with. If you surprise someone while they're looting, you can kill them with the P92 and pick up their fully kitted M4.

It's okay for portions of a game to be "boring" if it ratchets up the tension. No one is saying that you have to play a certain way. The problem is that the new map does not facilitate finding people and fighting them, once you’re done with your first area. The parachutes let you see general locations at the start, but then any other points of interest where others might be fighting over are outside of the 700m AR sound or 1000m sniper sound radius, which is the problem. If you wanted to hide all games down paint your nails, you won’t notice much of a difference here. If you want to find people and fight all of the time, you can’t.

He's saying that it's the gaps themselves that ratchet up the tension, so no, if you get rid of the gaps, then you won't have the tension anymore. Not every shooter has to follow some formula that there HAS to be action every 'x' number of seconds. Being slower paced but super intense because there's more of an investment on the line is the main appeal of the game. Wanting to take that away is like saying you like Call of Duty, but you wish they'd take out the guns.

If you surprise someone while they're looting, you can kill them with the P92 and pick up their fully kitted M4. Chocotaco once won an engagement against someone with a level 3 helmet because he called his shot, saying before he opened the door, "I'm gonna crossbow this guy in the head", opened the door and crossbowed them in the head. It was actually relevant because there was the guy's partner in the next room AND another duo coming in behind them, so if he'd used a different weapon than the crossbow he would have taken damage and probably have gone down sooner, and his teammate wouldn't have been able to finish the rest of them off. The revolvers are actually worthless because they reload extremely slowly and don't deal enough damage to be worth using over just dancing around like a maniac and punching someone. They nerfed the 7.62 revolver to not one-shot headshot people without helmets which is real dumb.

Yeah, just a couple of games ago I ended up in basically a gungame after landing in a small building compound that I thought would be empty, but actually had a couple of additional players arriving very shortly after myself. I killed the first guy with the 1911 I'd found, picked up his pump-action shotty and killed the next dude (who was fortunately looking the other way, letting me get the first shot in for free), and picked up his AK to last me for the rest of the game. And then I got killed by a hacker with an AUG, but until then it was really fun.
