I was a yuge nigga with an afro and somehow I got the feeling that I get spotted and hit too easily. Rolled a black bald woman and now I'm top 1%!!

The real meta is switching to solo after playing duo all season. I went from constantly getting killed by snap headshot demigods to winning twice in an hour and a half (at one point I shot at a car and the guy killed himself jumping off before it was fully stopped). Good thing MMR is separate for each mode.

drunken officeparty posted: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. Agree. The natural conclusion of the Savage discussion is "get rid of loot and have people spawn with gear" which is exactly not what this game is. Just go DM somewhere if that's what you want.

CS had deathmatch mode too and it was a great way to get some practice in and learn the (really obscure) shooting mechanics. It didn't ruin the game or turn it into COD.

The Mash posted:then spend 3000 BP on top to turn your character into a bald black woman, to minimize silhouette and maximize camouflage. Not sure how much good baldness does, given that you'll be wearing a helmet 90% of the time. But yeah, dressing in bright red pants has gotten me killed at least once that I know of so there is a lot to what you're saying. Edit: Is there any difference in the hitbox size between the male and the female model? Otherwise not sure how the gender would matter.

Dress in bright colors and orange guns so people shoot at you and then you can kill them imo. I like being seen.

I also don't think bright clothes and orange guns really makes you any more visible than dressing in beige. When I see people I see them because of movement, not because of some red pants 450m away. Apparently that's just me though.

At this point there’s literally nothing blue hole can do without some idiots coming out to say it’s poo poo. God forbid they spend time and make sure a potentially game killing (and thus studio closing and everybody losing their jobs) feature is the right thing to do or not.

Yea, I have normal color vision and extremely good sight. My point was that whether you have red pants on or beige pants on, I am going to see you. Beige pants do not make it harder for me to spot you.

That's design for you, especially if they want hard data to go off of and not just tummyfeels. I would assume most of that time went towards figuring out the impact to their game if they implemented it, not just the design of the UI. There's always a risk that they split their player base too much or otherwise starve a map of players if they find that people only want to queue up for Erangel or whatever.

As I was reading that map selection post I was thinking to myself the whole time: Oh god, so much context, what stupid loving idea did they come up with this time to gently caress up the easiest possible solution. And then... they gave us the easiest possible solution. So, I guess, good on them. But they really didn't need to write an article about it. They came off dumb as hell. Yes, I understand they wanted to make sure that they weren't going to increase wait times for a map with map selection. But the player base is enormous right now, that's not going to happen. Also, the best way to gather data would have just been to give us map selection for a week and see how it goes. If it killed a map, then you can spend hundreds of hours analyzing gameplay or whatever.

It's also likely they were testing worst-case scenarios and seeing what they'd need to deal with in the future when they have more than the two released maps, since it's very hard to put a feature out there and have to roll it back once people have had it for a whileTweak posted:people don't actually think all bluehole had to do was add a few, "<input type="checkbox">"s to their UI to implement this right of course they do edit: WAR CRIME SYNDICAT posted:But seriously the strong defense of Bluehole right now is kinda blowing my mind too just because you don't like a company doesn't mean that literally everything they do is incorrect and bad, and just because people are telling you that the situation might be more complex than your kneejerk reaction warrants doesn't mean they're fawningly defending said company flatluigi fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Apr 19, 2018 |

Tweak posted:oh my god people do think that was all it took yes yes yes it's a well known fact lay people have no clue of the magnitude of effort potentially involved in any 'simple' feature request BUT they literally had to add that "<input type="checkbox">" and they'd have been done. Maybe a patch later on so it would actually work but just the checkbox at first would have been good enough to ship in their style of iterative development. Besides, toggling which map is preferred can't have been a ~5 month effort no matter which way you look at it and people have been clamoring for this since the miramar release, there's just no way.

did I miss some press release where they said, "Yea we totally have the infrastructure ready to go to accommodate user map selection we just haven't added anything to the UI yet" because it still certainly seems like people think that check box was all it took to put you into a queue for a map you selected edit: like holy poo poo adding yes the check box was the easiest thing to do, it was also the last loving thing to do once they finished the MOUNTAIN OF OTHER poo poo required to actually make the check box *do* something Tweak fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Apr 19, 2018 |

ITT people who don't know poo poo about software development and supporting a large install base of paying customers Just because it took them a while to do it doesn't mean they were actively working on it the whole time. They mentioned millions of games and whatnot but that's just the data they used, which was the right thing to do. The new map's only been out like 4 months so even if they had backlogged the concept/idea for map selection at that point you still have to then do a lot more than just put it in the UI. Even if you're taking the "just put in the minimum viable product and iterate" approach, you still have to do other poo poo like: language translation, update the matchmaking algorithm, and smoke test things like performance/stability. Plus that second thing (matchmaking) is A Big Deal and that's what they spent time on analyzing before putting in the work.
