Yea for PUBG mobile, your first five games are mostly bots so everyone gets like 10+ kills. It actually gets tough once you face real people.

I'm enough of a potato with a keyboard and mouse, the on-screen gamepad did not do me any favors. This was my first and only game.



Didn't help either that my Note 4 is pretty slow by modern phone standards.

Yea, but are they going to change throughout the game? Or will skins be client side only? What will the guns look like on the ground? Stock until you pick them up? There are several ways to do this, I'm sure bluehole will pick the worst and jankiest option.

It skins the gun when you pick it up, and stays skinned when you drop it and when someone else picks it up.

This seems like the most obvious and intuitive implementation. First player to pick up a gun applies their skin to it.

If that were to be the case, time to get the ugliest collection of skins possible and just go around picking up and dropping weapons.

Not entirely sure what this is going to accomplish unless you are speedhacking around the map and picking up hundreds of guns within the first 20 seconds.

Am I the only unimaginative smuck that only wants camouflage-ish clothes and gear? I know some people want the purple trench coat or whatever and that's fine, but all I want is the ability to pick the right shades of brown during the minute before the plane.

I think they have very explicitly said that they won't release clothing that is at all functional as camouflage so as to keep things fair. If anything, they make the cosmetic options deliberately flamboyant so that they can't be accused of it.

No, but hopefully we can see soon with the test server build. I just don't see any way for the game to know that Hockles picked up an M4, make it camo green. Then, when I drop it, it stays camo green. But then what about the next M4 I pick up? Will that one have my skin too or just a default one?

I think the easiest way is just going to have the game display me my skins and you your skins no matter what weapon you pick up.

The easiest way to code it is that the weapons all show their stock skin on ground and that when equipped you and others see the skin that you have equipped. This may or may not reduce introducing a variable for dropped items depending on the architecture, but it should be by far the easiest solution to code.

Every gun is stock when everyone drops. When you pick up one individual gun, it skins that individual gun to whatever your skin is (for the rest of the match). If you loot a guy who had a sweet $200 skin, you can pick it up and use it the rest of the match.

It desperately needs more cover in the giant swaths of empty spaces. Big rear end cactus all over the place would fix that. It also needs more roads because driving off-road is a nightmare. And speaking of driving, the bus sucks rear end going up any of the million hills on the map. Also why is the map so drat big? It could stand to lose a lot of the space outside of the main road that rings the map. Bring those spaces into the center. There are some cool things that you literally never get to see because they’re so far away.

Basically just rework the entire map because it sucks as is.

I really wish they would add silly cosmetic loot that you can only pick up in game. Maybe make every crate come with one or two pieces of like a Mexican poncho or a clown outfit or something that isn’t available at the outset (like as a steam item)

I personally only play naked pubg and always loot my enemies corpses to assemble the most ridiculous outfit possible, and high end cosmetic loot only available in game would def enhance my experience
