Figure 2 in a series of 3

New Zealand can eat me posted:

This guy killed me through a window, through a door, from over 600 meters away. He kills the one other guy left in school a few rooms over and a floor down at the very end of the clip

I had such a nice start, too :smith:

I'd be mad :colbert:

It happens in team TPP too; seems like there is way more on NA servers than EU/AS servers for the people I play with

Is there a penalty to accuracy if I don't zero my sights and just manually use the other marks on the scopes?

I thought that was you. Ironically enough, I just unfollowed you last night because I hadn't seen a notification from you in months.

goddamn, I just spent a few minutes watching shroud's stream. He dropped Pochinky, got downed in a fist fight by a stream sniper, then at least 4 other dudes ran around and let him kill them after he got rezzed. He turned on in-game voice and it was a nuthouse. Just people yelling his name, playing techno, It was a loving mad house.

Runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
So after failing to hit like 2 people at near point blank yesterday I decided to drop on the school for the first time ever and not only did I survive, I ended up killing 3 players and made it all the way to the endgame in one go. :v:

Screenshot was to highlight the patch numbers aren't in the order you'd expect. I'm guessing the client patch is just a little ahead of the server patch is all.

Got murdered by a cheated the other day. He was full auto on an SKS from hundreds of meters away, killing everyone (including my squad) instantly.

What's even the fun at that point?

This game is complex, lots of strategies, lots of potential guides, a massive player base, stats and number crunching etc.

Is there a less informative subreddit than r/pubg for a game of this substance? Apart from the stickied map every post is either a shitpost, complaint about hackers or a Shroud clip.

Also, for a game that is consistently the most played on Steam, the amount of traffic/upvotes on that subreddit is staggeringly low.

A VERY large portion of this game is from non English speaking countries. The last numbers I saw had China at 43% of the total player base and rising fast.

What?

Anyway, listened to the Giant Bomb discussion about the game and why they cheat, and they were saying that the cheaters get kills for points so they can buy stupid poo poo with BP that they then sell on steam for money. I don't know if that's the case. I didn't think you could turn steam dollars into real dollars but who the gently caress knows anymore

You can get shitloads of BP, then sell unopened crates on the Steam marketplace.

Even if you cheat, they can't really take stuff away from your inventory, because of various fraud laws. So, yea. Plus most of them want to be on the leaderboards to advertise their cheats.

No, you have to tell me where to drop and how to play because I can't think for myself. Also what's badness score?

I think these patch notes explain a lot

quote:

Gameplay
Blue zone DOT (Damage over Time) increases when characters are farther away from the play zone
This principle does not apply to the first blue zone
Bug Fix
Resolved a bug where bullets would sometimes ignore armor

I downloaded a 2 Gig patch for these changes, which means it's at least 100,000 lines of code to adjust the Blue DOT damage.

It is not uncommon for bug fixes to get shipped and not have them in the public release notes.

It's not 2 gigs extra or 2 gigs of new code. Most of it is just you downloading the same files again where a small thing might have changed.

I believe they added in new wall graffiti to advertise the Oakland PUBG Invitational that is coming up, which is probably why the patch is so big.
