I don't know about you guys, but I'm still expecting them to nerf the loot on Savage before it hits even the regular test servers. It just doesn't make for a very interesting early and mid game when everyone has an AR and armor 5 seconds after landing.

Part of the point of the smaller map seems to be to skip some of that early/mid game, though. Or at least accelerate it.

If are seriously calling running around with a pistol and no armour for 15 minutes before dying to some guy who got the only AR in a square kilometer area “interesting” then maybe u should play DayZ instead

Would you prefer to have the Savage loot level on the other maps, too?

Assuming we are talking about Miramar/Erangel, where are you dropping that you have a pistol and zero armor after 15 minutes of looting?

I do enjoy the savage loot levels, though.

Get the hell right out of here

I'm pretty happy to know that I can land Training or Swamp Temple or any of the Bootcamps or any high-density area and within 2-3 rooms I should at the very least have some sort of armor and gun, even if it's just a shotgun or SMG. Contrast with school/Pecado casino or stadium/Hacienda/Mil base barracks and I can go through 5-6 rooms and have a really cool Micro Uzi stock and trench coat but the other guy got lucky and found a SCAR and now I'm dead. Sure it's still frustrating when that guy gets a lvl 3 vest and an AKM, but at least I have a fighting chance.

I have no idea if this would be fun or not but constantly chucking all types of nades and trying to melee sounds fun.

Part of what makes looting and items exciting in this game is the scarcity. If everyone starts with an M4 it kinda makes finding an M4 not very special feeling. The RNG of the items is one of the key things that sets BR's apart from other games and, in my opinion, makes them addicting and fun to play.

It's kind of dumb when you are so deep in M4s and ammo that you just say gently caress it and run dual M4s.

I haven't played savage but the loot in erangel and miramar is fine. If savage is a closer smaller faster map more loot sounds fine there.

Does savage already have the new guns?

Savage right now is more like two ARs in every room, a level three helmet and a Kar98 in every building... I find it tips over into ridiculousness. Like others said ITT, PUBG is less interesting when everyone can tank 4-5 AR rounds in the chest before going down, and on Savage that point occurs within the first minute after landing. Phat loot on the map is one thing but this is just too much.

Jack B Nimble posted:

Not yet, I assume they're still working on those.

I hope the new minivan will be a tuk-tuk. Should tip over when going off road, like a Dacia on meth.

(I mean, who are we kidding, vehicles are worthless on Savage anyway, might as well make them fun.)

I really hope they keep the loot on savage how it is because its great practice. I pretty much get an m416 and kar98 every game. I just land hot, grab a rifle, and hunt down the other people nearby.

Getting harder and harder to do this because they are mucking up the chances of getting the valuable ones by never totally phasing any of these old lovely crates out.

You have a 10% chance of getting a 5 cent crate and you have a 50% chance of getting a ~ 50 cent crate.

But yes, definitely sell your crates.

People obsessed with the war mode and think the regular game needs more loot should probably just play a different game. The whole genesis of BR games is from the survival genre.

I mean, a 100-man clusterfuck on a big map is a concept that can be taken many different ways. Fortnite feels completely different despite having the same basic concept. Red Dead 2 BR will probably feel different from both that and PUBG. :shrug:

War mode is a nice change of pace that lends itself to shorter game sessions and has the very important benefit of letting people actually practice their shooting. It'd be a good choice to enable it as a permanent mode even if it's a much different feel compared to the standard game

That's probably the least surprising game series to get a BR mode, honestly. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being very good, too.

It's heart breaking because EA/Dice has such good net code and can really make a good product but then it's also going to be on Origin and it will be littered with microtransactions.

I'm not sure how more littered with microtransactions it can get over how it currently is with Bluehole.

Never ask EA how much more littered with microtransactions something can get. Nobody wants to know the answer to that.

Oh boy, don't provoke a big publisher with micro transactions. PUBG stuff is a joke that has no real purpose beside showing you like spending money on the game.
I didn't play a lot of Savage but the loot does seem to be too much for sure. I think they should definitely put back war mode as a full time thing so that people that enjoy CoD can play this and people who enjoy BR and loot simulator play the other modes.

You can get the best possible camo set of clothing for like 0.08 USD (khaki pants, yellow/green top) and then spend 3000 BP on top to turn your character into a bald black woman, to minimize silhouette and maximize camouflage. The game is mercifully not P2W right now.
