Yeah copyright infringement is really easy to avoid as long as you put in the smallest amount of effort in appearing to not be a copy of what you're ripping off. It's really not difficult at all and the only reason you wouldn't put in said effort is if you want to be mistaken for the people you're riffing off of. This is where copyright lawsuits come in.

This could go even beyond copyright infringement. Have you seen their web site? The first rule of avoiding trademark infringement is, don't use your competitor's trademarks. http://rulesofsurvivalgame.org/ Rules of Survival opens a savage combat between 120 connected players from around the world. Similar to PUBG game, you will be dropped down onto a strange island by using your parachute. Talk about your blatant rip-off. And wow this is some cheap stuff. They can't spell for poo poo, their copy is barely intelligible, they even misspell their own product name. With a vast map, you will experience so many terrains.  I doubt they have a budget for many lawyers (or competent ones for that matter), so this should really be a steamroll for Bluehole.

I did some math because I had a feeling the circles really hate you when you're in the border and here's some fun stats for you to read and forget: * The odds of you being inside a circle are always less than 50% no matter where you are (though everyone should be able to figure this) * More interestingly, if you're at the border, the chances that the next circle's edge will be closer to half the difference between the circles' radii is less than 50%. For most circles the average distance you'll run is 53% to 56% of the new circle radius, and almost always 53% of the difference between the two circles' radius, or over a quarter of the current circle's diameter. Bottomline is that you'll have to run a lot more often than you'll have to run a little.

No Safe Word posted:I'ts not a dumb lawsuit at all It really depends on the weight you put on the subjects of what constitutes a game genre, IP infringement, IP laws forcing you to defend your IP, asset flipping. All of the things you listed, in aggregate, make it sound like they're copying PUBG which they pretty much tell you on their webpage that they are but the line for what constitutes infringement and what constitutes a genre is really blurry and weighted towards game design elements not being generally copyrightable despite a lot of companies trying to. This isn't really the thread to discuss this in-depth but yeah, I understand that companies need to actively defend their copyright and that's why they throw lawsuits all the time, but this whole debacle reminds me of the whole moba poo poo-show.

One leet crew carry a day keeps the doctor away. Round 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVIQbGBWA0I&t=1155s Round 2 is longer but it was a pretty intense ending if you want to see it. If not, skip to about ~19:00 to see the finale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEZFF5IbD_o&t=923s I guess I can stop bitching about how the SCAR-L recoil is wild.

JEEVES420 posted:I already hate chasing the blue zone and now they made it worse No they didn't? For Miramar you will literally never have to chase the circle if they show it before the plane. They are showing you the circle 30 seconds quicker on Erangel. The later circles move MUCH slower so you can afford to pick fights with people and not be pushed in by blue damage as you make your way in.

I always felt like the big problem with the northern extremities of Miramar is that the map is too loving big and you can easily get boned by a bad circle. I'm not sure making the loot better there really addresses the fundamental problem of Miramar being too big and annoying to traverse. Showing the circle pre-drop might make the situation better on that front at least. I also feel that there are a lot of semi-interesting setpieces/environments on Miramar that never ever end up being a part of the final circles because they're too far out on the edges (like prison island or campo militar), and adding more time polishing up the map edge with additional named areas seems like throwing good money after bad.

Maybe the circle change will make the mid-game somewhat better. Still won't fix the lack of cover/scenery.

You literally will have a choice to drop in the circle or not if they show it AND they decreased the chance of a far extremity next circle by 30%. If they keep the pre-plane circle; literally nobody can complain about traveling around in the blue on Miramar anymore. They are essentially cutting the size of Miramar into a 5x5 by showing you the circle. Edit: Comedy option: Split Miramar into North and South. Make the maps 8x4's with ellipses as the circles.

odiv posted:I think I'd rather not know the circle ahead of time, but I'll try with it on and see how it is. It was pretty fun and good on the 4x4 map, but it's almost the exact opposite on Miramar. On the 4x4 map it's basically: if you want a less hot drop, you can just drop outside the circle and then work your way in since you can basically run across 1/4 of the map in like a minute anyway. With Miramar I expect it will be: probably don't drop Campo Militar because the circle is on Valle del Mar, my dude (or swap that with Prison/Torre Ahumada). But with the new timings, who knows?

The best are the clothing spawns on top of all the attachments/guns/ammo, but you can't see those until you open your inventory or pick up the pants/shirt covering them. I probably left a ton of poo poo on the ground my first 5-10 games because I looked in a room, saw clothes only and walked off. So, will clothes no longer spawn and instead something else will spawn in their place? I guess I don't understand the underlying change that will happen, does this mean I'm going to get 10000 more shotgun chokes, or will overall loot remain the same except minus clothes.

I like the clothing drops, depending on the map I will change shirts/jacket to better fit the backdrop. I don't think it actually works as well as it does in my head though.

You do know for sure:quote:In-game clothing spawns have been removed from all maps. Other item spawn balance remains the same. Basically, if the loot generator RNG rolled "clothing spawn" before, now it rolls "nothing at all".

Won't less extreme edge circles just mean the circle will always end up somewhere near the middle? Thus meaning you're unlikely to ever see the stuff at the edges of the map? I would want more extreme circles, shake it up a bit, the middle of the map is boring.

NZAmoeba posted:Won't less extreme edge circles just mean the circle will always end up somewhere near the middle? Thus meaning you're unlikely to ever see the stuff at the edges of the map? I believe they intend this to affect the 2nd circle and later, so subsequent circles will be more in the center of the first and not touching the edges.

Making the blue travel slower is good. Making it less likely for an "extreme" safe zone to spawn is lame. Some of the fringe areas of Miramar are among the most interesting

Some of the fringe areas of Miramar are among the most interesting This is just saying the chance of the zone picking way on the right or left of the circle is less likely as it gets smaller It's to lesson the chance of the one house in the zone getting lucky and being the only cover in a huge field, that everyone has to run directly towards
