Just make loot tables fully random with no weighting. Activate total chaos mode.

NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:Cheating doesn't really seem that common at all.. I'm pretty sure everybody who ever kills me is cheating. Tbh though It's not common as far as I can tell. Out of ~1100 matches I have had about 3-5 times where me and my squad have been killed by people who are DEFINITELY cheating - people instantly headshotting me and my team when it's not believable it's just luck. That said though, would you know about some of the cheats people would use? If they're wallhacking they know where you (and everybody) is which gives them an advantage but I think not so much that you'd know, it's much easier to put that down to "well, they must have been lucky to get the drop on me". Anyway, generally it doesn't feel like you're being cheated so it's fine.

At this point you'd be better off holding onto your stuff until after the crates rotate and the cheaper sellers get bought out.Harry Potter on Ice posted:I really want to watch a short documentary on people hustling steam items because I know there are people out there trying to do it, and some may even be succeeding There's a goon who played the market well enough for a few years to need to pay taxes on his Steam earnings.

Harry Potter on Ice posted:I really want to watch a short documentary on people hustling steam items because I know there are people out there trying to do it, and some may even be succeeding I did this for about 4 months. Not worth the return and effort. Yeah I made about $30 from CSGO skins but you are constantly watching the market and listing item and removing them placing order on items at super low prices hoping someone fat fingers pricing it was dumb in retrospect. Also the cut that steam takes out makes it hard to do larger $$ items and get a return so I was usually doing .15 - $2 skins.

All the big trading companies have programs that automatically trade, so why not an application that automatically trades stream items? I'm sure it's doable with some effort.

No quick money for you! I didn't know if you sold items from crates you still have to wait a week. I've just been selling the crates which I can sell immediately. Usually by the time I hit the button on the phone app and refresh the steam page it's sold and I've got the cash.

Well, you have a few options: drop at better locations than spots with 4 or less houses, get better at guns you aren't comfortable with, play a different game odiv posted:Can you ditch your parachute on the plane/while falling? I haven't had the guts to try. Nope unfortunately because I want to die right next to someone hitting the ground screaming the whole way down. What kind of monster makes the giant diving board of rocks into crater but doesn't let you drive off it?! I still jumped and screamed and landed next to someone when my team had already wiped but it just didn't have the splash and height I was looking for you know?

DrNutt posted:How is this so hard for people to understand? Not that I have any issues with this game but RNG can be implemented in pretty bad ways. Even "good" RNGs like the Mersenne Twister can gently caress up if you do something stupid with them, and poor RNG implementation occurs more often in games than you'd think. Edit: To iterate, every RNG algorithm I know with the sole exception of PCG can produce undesirable patterns that can be easily detected by players, who will shrug it off because over a long period of time and multiple matches they'll end up statistically correct. And I exclude PCG only because I don't know any patterns yet, but it's possible they exist. At least in PCG you can directly control things like making it impossible for 100 zeros in a row to happen. If the devs are not intimately familiar with the RNG algorithm they're using there are dozens of ways to end up with aberrant results from good-looking inconspicuous code.

I don't really have a problem with the loot RNG in this game. Sometimes you are outgunned, but that's part of the fun in this game. Otherwise why bother having a variety of weapons or looting in the first place!? Just look! https://clips.twitch.tv/PowerfulHandsomeHornetSuperVinlin?tt_medium=clips_api&tt_content=url It's fun to outshoot people with bigger guns! The only real change in regards to loot I care about is making loot load faster like they did with cars. Since I only drop hot zones, it's kind of annoying that you are just randomly dropping in that place and won't know if you find a gun or not. E.g. If loot loaded faster, you could adjust your landing towards it to make it more skill based.

I used some of my Steambucks to buy two keys for the Gamescon crates. The money was deducted from my Steam wallet, and I have the receipt in my inbox, but the game shows no keys when I go to open the crates. Am I looking in the wrong spot, or...?

The games functions with the current RNG, but that doesn't mean it can't be improved. There are definitely clustering issues that go beyond confirmation bias. Jump at the mylta power substation or any other easy to loot landmark every time and you'll see the weird clustering patterns. I'm not sure how to fix the issue without reducing spawn locations. PUBG clearly wants scars and kars to be more rare, so you end up m16a4s, akms, and sometimes the sks in high densities. It might be the actual rate of opportunity that pubg wants when you are acquiring weapons, but it doesn't look or feel good to players that are searching for their favorite weapon and find same gun over and over in a relatively small area.

I actually had an insane RNG game earlier today. I dropped on south east Polyana and after looting the library had only a shotgun and uzi. I get the drop on a guy leaving the prison and... he only had a shotgun and an uzi. I'm finding everything else in plenty. Level 3 vest & helmet, 5 first aid kits, 4 energy drinks, 3 painkillers, level 2 bookbag, all sorts of attachments including an 8x scope. I jump in a car and drive down the the power plant- I loot the entire green building and it's- you guessed it. Shotguns & uzis. I'm at the point now that I can't fit any more stims into my bookbag. I get the drop on someone also coming to loot and he had.... a shotgun and an uzi. I drive over to the north side of the eastern bridge and loot some of the buildings there. Shotguns and uzis. I drive over to the farm and find more shotguns and uzis. At this point the we're in the final circles and there's only fifteen people left. I manage to ambush someone coming into my building who by some miracle actually had an SKS. I then get killed a minute later running for the circle- ambushed by a guy with an UMP. It was ridiculous but that's RNG for you. It's not that absurd when you consider that I've got ~100 hours in this game and this is the only time it's happened.
