this is the end of the round we won and our interview check it out!

we ended up 9th overall which was a blast considering we got turbofucked on 4 rounds dying in transition on 3 of them and loving up on one of them. had a great time and can now quit this game forever.

I'm nthing that the interview was pretty good.

The announcers still need to stop tripping over their own words though

Appoda: Oct 30, 2013

Yeah, not to rag on the presenters but they don't really seem like trained speakers. I don't watch much esports, but when I do, I'm taken aback by how often they screw up simple things like blowing out their mics or talking over each other.

To be fair, talking is hard. Quick, concise, clear speaking without a lot of uhs and ums takes a lot of practice, and doing that while being dynamic and having sufficient game knowledge is a big ask.

The announcers did a great job considering they were not pubg announcers. They were a league and an overwatch announcer.

I was just going to say what jerkface said. It's tough to announce a game you don't know very well. The PUBG invitational had solid announcers and analysts from people who play the game a ton. Knowing the game goes a long way in talking quickly and concisely about it.

That's probably the biggest challenge right now for any esports broadcasting, particularly new ones. Finding people that are able to perform as an announcer, have stage presence AND that are very familiar with the game. Stick a high profile ESPN guy on stream and they simply wouldn't really know what the gently caress they are seeing, much less what's important and what isn't. PUBG also throws the additional wrench of the potential for several big things to happen simultaneously all over the map.

A friend of mine was a hugely popular announcer up until recently where he is now directing for MLG full time. He told me how he preferred to announce the games he knows a lot about because the ones he didnt he would have to spend a lot of time researching the game before the events.

Cheating is still a huge problem. It's crazy to me that some people still think it isn't.

Got squad wiped by a guy just last night. He was a solo who was zooming around the map and never missed a shot. Looked up the account and he had a 10+ KD across with a near perfect headshot rate. Had like 300 games on Asian servers and 8 games on NA.

I reported him but it just feels like a drop in the bucket. Best thing to do is just laugh at the game.

The tragic part is the through-the-wall shot wasn't even a cheater. It was just the drat game being a broken hot steaming pile of garbage mess. Hell, the pan guy might have just been getting a bug too! Although I doubt that one.

I think the pan guy was exploiting a bug in the game, which counts as cheating and is bannable, but is maybe not hacking? The line is a bit blurry there. It would depend on whether he could provoke that state manually or if code was involved.

Heads sticking through walls is pretty terrible. I've killed people sometimes because I saw the barrel of their gun sticking through a wall or door, so I knew where to find them. That is bad enough, but heads poking through and being shootable is really awful.

PC 1.0 Update #21
5 September - Hawkinz

Hey everyone,

We�ve got a big update for you all today! Alongside additional FIX PUBG progress, we�re releasing the heavily requested Training Mode, the brand new MK47 Mutant, the already fan-favorite Tukshai vehicle for Sanhok, and the new Laser Sight attachment. On top of that, we�re introducing a brand new rewards system just for playing PUBG and completing missions, the reintroduction of an updated marker system, on-screen network information, and much more. Read on for everything coming in Update 21!

FIX PUBG Update
QOL

MIC TEST UI/UX: Added the ability to test your MIC input within the game

Bug Fixes

UI/UX #02: Fixed the issue where, after connecting the XBOX controller to the PC, the drop-down menu would not appear to select the reason for reporting on the results screen.
CHARACTER POSITION #01: Fixed the issue where the position of the character who boarded a car is fixed at a very strange spot
CHARACTER POSITION #02: Fixed the issue of the character being shown in a different location.
CLONING: Fixed the issue when a character is moving by vehicle, the character is created in a unspecific location
WEAPON RENDERING #01: Fixed the issue where the weapon is shown in a different position than where the character is holding it
WEAPON RENDERING #02: Fixed issue where the weapon of the person being spectated is not rendered, causing a problem when this weapon goes into ADS mode.
CAMERA #02: Fixed the issue where the camera zooms in when approaching a corpse while lying down
CAMERA #03: Fixed the issue where the camera temporarily zooms in and out when approaching a window with glass and throwing a throwable.
SANHOK FIX #04: Fixed the issue where, on the Sanhok map, the character occasionally falls from the sky when situated at the very end of the sea.
BLUEZONE UI: Fixed the issue where the Bluezone timer UI occasionally decreased by 2 seconds
UNDERWATER ANIMATION: Fixed the issue where the character is shown choppy from top to bottom when underwater and unable to move to dry land because of the terrain.
UAZ DAMAGE TAKEN: Fixed the issue where you sometimes received more damage comparatively to other vehicles when driving a UAZ and colliding with a landmark.

New Feature: Training Mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jig9E7WTXIc&feature=youtu.be

Added a Training Mode where you can practice all aspects of PUBG gameplay
The Training Mode map is 2x2 in size
You can join through matchmaking by clicking on the �Training Mode� button in the lobby.
When there are more than 5 players in the matchmaking queue, the session will start immediately. Players will continue to join open sessions for up to 5 minutes after they start. (Up to 20 per session)
If there are less than 5 players in the matchmaking queue, matchmaking will continue for 5 minutes
If there are still less than 5 players after 5 minutes, the session will start with the original number of players present and other players cannot join the session.
Total play time is 30 minutes (e.g. in case of number 2, where you immediately enter a session, you have 5 minutes where other players can join the session + regular training mode playing time of 25 minutes)
Players cannot drop below 1hp in Training mode

New Weapon: MK47 Mutant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfCDR1dfBnM

Added a new AR weapon: the MK47 Mutant
MK47 Mutant can be acquired on all maps (Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok) through world spawn
MK47 Mutant is an AR weapon using 7.62mm bullets and has a 20 round capacity, which can be upgraded to 30 rounds with an extended magazine.
The Mutant has 2 firing modes: single shot and 2-round burst
Almost all types of attachments can be used with the MK47, but it has no stock slot

New Sanhok Exclusive Vehicle: Tukshai

Added a new vehicle that will be exclusive to the Sanhok map
The Tukshai is a 3 person vehicle that substitutes the UAZ, Dacia and Minibus
The Tukshai is slower compared to the previous vehicles, but fits perfectly with Sahnok�s environment

Supply System

Added the supply system which grants you a reward based on completed missions and play time
You can level up and get rewards when you fill the Survival gauge with survival XP
Missions will be refreshed daily and weekly.
You earn a reward every time you gain a survival level

Restructuring of the BP System

Previously, we offered BP rewards based only on your ranking. Now, we�ve restructured the system to take into account both play time and ranking.
Rewards have been restructured to equalize the differences in BP efficiency based on playing time for each Map and Mode.
We�ve changed team rewards to be shared
You will no longer receive 4 times the BP because you were playing alone in a squad game

Gameplay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mTdFGZvyrE

Added a new attachment: the Laser Sight
Bullet spread is reduced when hip firing and soft-aiming
The Laser Sight fits on weapons with a lower rail slot available, taking up the grip slot.
Currently, there is a known issue that the laser effect is not displayed in the death cam or replay. This issue will be resolved soon.

Added the improved Marker/Ping System first introduced for testing on the 8/1 test server update
Using ALT + Mouse wheel click, you can create a marker where you are aiming on the compass at the top of the screen (not visible in the world)
You may change the key bindings freely in options
All team members can see this marker on the compass
After setting the marker, there is a 2 second cooldown before you can mark again
The marker on the compass will automatically disappear after 5 seconds
When the ping markers overlap, the closest located marker will be shown on top.

Improved the visuals for blue zone effects
Bluezone effects are now shown more clearly.
While the Bluezone is closing in, it will be easier to see from a longer distance than before
Bluezone effects looked differently depending on the map and weather. We�ve improved this so that the Bluezone effect is visually similar in all conditions.

Erangel

Miramar

UI / UX

Added an option to check state of Voice Chat input in settings
You can check it at: Settings > Sound > Voice Chat category

Added a Network Information function that can display Ping, connection speed, packets, and packet loss.

This will be located in the top left of the screen.
You can change the settings to On/Off at Settings > Gameplay > UI > Network debug statistics
Improved the UI menu for Appearance > Wardrobe, Weapons, Gear

Improvements made to make various items more visible.
Added a filter function at the left of screen, so that you can filter by certain categories
Added a colored rarity background in order to recognize item rarities better

UI menu for the Store has been improved

You can now see more items by categories and tags in the main page
Added a preview page for each item
You can access it by clicking the question icon
You can check current promotional item details in �Featured� page

Performance

Improved performance by optimizing client memory use
Improved performance by adjusting on-hit effects for various materials
Improved shadow rendering performance
Partially improved the frame hitch that is caused by texture streaming when moving on the map
Improved the rendering performance of burning vehicles

Replay

Improved control methods for the Camera (Free Camera / Follow Camera)
Made improvements to enable separation of click and drag when the replay UI appears on the screen.
When a click is maintained under 0.3 seconds this will be perceived as a �click�, if it is held longer then the click is perceived as a �drag�.
Replay version has been updated, replays from previous updates are no longer playable.

Custom Match

Added 4 types of presets for Custom Matches.
Normal mode
45ACP Mode (Forty-Fivers)
Crossbow Mode (Ghillie Crossing)
War mode
OverpowerKit (Desert Knights)
SniperKit (One Shot One Kill)
In the standard settings, adjusted the standard value to �movable� for moving the player location in the waiting room
Added a function to save/call in the preset settings for match options
Can call or save 10 presets at maximum.
Added functionality to set passwords for match spectating.
Added the option of setting the scale for combat (team combat/platoon combat) in Regular mode and War mode in Settings
Improved the usability of the Flaregun
When obtaining the Flaregun, the number of care packages left will be displayed in the HUD - on top of the minimap.
When using the Flaregun, the UI displays whether it is possible to successfully fire the Flaregun
Adjusted the display indicating the scope of area for the Flaregun drop
Removed �War Royale� option in War mode - blue zone option
We�ll improve upon this option and bring it back soon.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the issue where, after connecting the XBOX controller to the PC, the drop-down menu would not appear to select the reason for reporting on the results screen.
Fixed the issue where a character on board a vehicle would sometimes be shown as immobile in a very different location.
Fixed the issue where a character is sometimes shown in a different location
Fixed the issue where a character who is driving in a vehicle is created in an unspecified location.
Fixed the issue where weapons are sometimes shown in locations different from where the character is holding them.
Fixed the issue where the gun of the person you are spectating is sometimes not rendered, causing problems when the gun goes into ADS mode.
Fixed the issue where approaching a corpse while lying down could sometimes cause the camera to zoom in.
Fixed the issue where approaching a window with glass and throwing a throwable could sometimes cause the camera to temporarily zoom in and out.
Fixed the issue where sometimes a character standing at the very edge of the sea would be shown as falling out of the sky.
Fixed the issue where the Bluezone UI timer occasionally decreases by 2 seconds.
Fixed the issue where an underwater character is unable to move to land because the terrain is shown as stuttering.
Fixed the issue where colliding with an object while driving in a UAZ deals comparatively more damage than other vehicles.
Fixed the issue where the firing mode of a gun that has been dropped and picked up again is reset to default settings.
Fixed the issue where the AR compensator on the SLR was not reducing the horizontal recoil.
Fixed the issue where a character cannot peek while over a gas can.
Fixed the issue where frame drop occured when the weather was rainy and the character was swimming in the water when the perspective changed from under to above water.
Fixed the issue where the suppressed AKM and Beryl M762 sounded the same.
Fixed the issue where characters could pass through a wooden door while riding the scooter.
Fixed the issue where players sometimes couldn�t loot items when the item was dropped on stairs or a slope.
Fixed the issue where the vaulting action was not working properly with certain building windows in Sanhok.
Fixed the issue where the HP gauge was displayed red in certain conditions.

He never played it often because he said to get really good at base building is insanely hard to do, and you need to play constantly to keep your skill level up. I think he is getting bored of most everything right now and can take that challenge. When he isn't wiping people on raids in WOW. You can tell he's just burned out entirely on PUBG. Viss and Josh are my go-to for PUBG streaming shenanigans these days.

My only issue with this is, will PC actually have a base? CoD games since like, CoD4 have been historically extremely console based with very little support and/or player base for the PC. The most recent one, WWII, sold 1% of it's overall total copies to PC players. Multiplayer average players went from 20,500 during release month to 7,500 in two months. That's.... not good.

That being said, I had a ton of fun watching it. It stayed true to the battle royale mode of PUBG and added the gimmicky/arcadey stuff that CoD has been known for. It seems like a fun game. Just worried about the player base.

There is a healthy number of players currently stuck on PUBG and fortnite on PC that blackout could draw from. I don't think that was the case for the earlier releases you're citing.
