Hippie Hedgehog posted:I very rarely get the guns that I need practice on in Pecado. :-) Check out op.gg for stats and how many points were added or deducted per match. You don't have to get that far in a round before you are in the positive and your rating is going up. It seems a bit like you can grind out a higher rank not by being extremely good at the game and winning all the time but by playing more games and just finishing in the top 1/4 or somewhere around that.

Last night I got punched to death in a corner by the guy that entered the first building with me. I ran upstairs, had picked up a shotgun and was loading it.

NtotheTC posted:I'd have thought there's also a rolling average in there somewhere otherwise it would be trivial to write a bot that gets you into the top 10 globally by running 1000 games a day without firing a shot I'll be honest, I could probably write something that does that for any top 1000, maybe top 100 in some regions.

Point being that I don't think you can get "top 10 globally by running 1000 games a day without firing a shot" with less than 2 KDR. The game doesn't tell you about it but it counts kills internally for your win rating. Beyond the "win rating + kill rating * 0.2" formula.

Elentor posted:Top 1/4 is a massive loss in points after a while. Even 1/10 can be. I mean I'm around top 0.2 % in duos and I gained 1 point by finishing top 14/47 and 7 by finishing 9/43 recently. So I wouldn't say 1/4 is a massive loss in any way. Maybe when you get even higher? Also concerning how much kills matter, it really doesn't seem to be that much. My duo partner has a K/D of 0.75 over the last 20 games and I have 1.80 but our overall rating is only 36 points apart. Hulebr00670065006e fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jan 24, 2018 |

Maybe when you get even higher? Think of it this way, you can't grind 9/43 your way into the top 10. The people in the top 10 can have a fairly high average match position, a big to gigantic KDR for the most part (I think there's only one sub 1.0 kdr guy right now in top 100 solo NA FPP) and a good chunk of victories. The guy in #1 gets 5 points from winning a match while killing 7 people. You'd probably get 10 times that. Somewhere along the road you'll start losing points. Since he didn't specify what high rank is I'm going with showing a # instead of a % in your profile. Until they announce season rewards (if they do) what is classified as a high rank is pretty meaningless though. When they do the competition will be a lot harder, right now the vast majority of players don't care and it's very easy to get a high rank when 50% of the population have more loading/waiting than playing time from dropping on hotspots, and I think a lot more people would be alive in the mid-game if you got a huge glowing neon pink parachute from ending in top 5% or something. For what is worth I think kills, if they're gonna matter in your ranking, should matter a lot more than they do now as well. Elentor fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Jan 24, 2018 |

I want to say that top % garbage is off by a decimal point or two. For example, the game tells me that I have a .32% headshot percentage. We also don't know who is counted for that. Are players who've never played in NA counted for the NA %'s. Players that have played in the region, but not that mode? Banned players? Etc. That top % thing is obviously off by quite a bit, I mean there are guys in the "top 10%" with less than a 1 KDR. At least with PUBGTracker, before, all of the %'s it were based off of were previously queried users. Edit: We need someone brand new to the game to die right away in their first game, wait for the boards to update and then check their "top %". That's probably the only way to tell.

So what's the optimal strategy for: - Improving your gun play. - Not dying < 50. - Optimizing for actually winning. Seems like dropping Pickle-town or School are too John Rambo, and dropping some random one-room farmhouse is too Ted Kaczynski.

The answer is, of course, somewhere in the middle. I often won't even see another person/squad on the ground until there are fewer than 50 left alive.

This exact thing happened to me the other night. Dumb schmuck had his mic on so loud I could barely hear his footsteps over his keystrokes and breathing while he ran around. I just sat and waited for him to come into the room I was in and blasted him, fully expecting to get a barrage of "gently caress you I hosed your mother blah blah blah" but he just let out a long exasperated sigh. I felt kinda bad for him.

I like sprinting around until I hear something then walking around until either they or I die. Or if I find silencer mid to long range weapons, crawling everywhere like a loving Boss. So far, topped out at #2 in solo after accidentally killing a guy in a ghillie suit (which owns) right at the start

Nah it's just much more fun to drop in School, Hospital, Prison, Pecado, Hacienda, Sosnovka, etc, than to drop a kilometre north of Primorsk and play hiking simulator for 20 minutes. Who cares if you lose a 1v10 fight, just re-queue.

Not really, besides an educated guess based on the layout of the building and the type of sound the footstep is making based on terrain. Directional sound is pretty good in this game but vertical sound is really hard.

My general strategy is to avoid fighting people who know where I am and I've had a lot of success with it in solo, duos, and squads. If someone shoots at you don't just peak back around the corner you ran behind, quickly and quietly move somewhere else where they won't be looking and then pop them.

Depends on the buildings. The apartments in Pecado between the arena and the casino are just a nightmare because the sounds come from everywhere for some reason, so a player walking around on the second floor sounds like they're on the roof above you.
