aniviron posted:B-b-b-buh you just have to drop at school repeatedly and you'll always be amazing! It gets you used to short range shenanigans which is important for any contested early game looting, and gives you good practice learning the big jankey differences in what you think you should be able to hit and what you will actually hit because of the third person perspective(the solution is make heavy use of first person even when queued for third). And not every mid-endgame is going to involve a big open field, eventually you're going to have to try to clear a building and if you've only ever shot at people 500m away through a 4x you're going to suck at it. The other big thing is that it gets you some practice in with a bunch of different weapons because you don't have the luxury of skipping guns until you find your favourite, it helps players get over the lovely habit of not just picking up the first available gun and swapping to something preferable later on. A ton of players neglect pistols and even shotguns and uzis. 22 Eargesplitten posted:Speaking of the micro uzi, is it worse than the other SMGs? It seems like it is worse than the UMP and way worse than the Vector or Thompson just by the numbers. "By the numbers" the Uzi has the second highest dps of the SMGs, and has the advantage of actually being reasonably available over something like the Vector, which is far less common and has the additional disadvantage of using an ammo type that is less likely to get stockpiled. Whether or not something is good depends on what you're trying to do with it and what your options are. It's a really good short range bullethose that has a decent mag size, and so you might not want to take it if you either already have a decent short range weapon like one of the other SMGs or a shotgun. poo poo like whether or not you have certain attachments that make certain guns more viable to varying degrees matters as well, if you have an extended mag to hand then without such a large margin for error(i.e. being punished less for missing) a vector becomes a much better weapon.

Apartments are as much a trap for other players as they are for you, so instead of being the guy that stomps around and gets caught out because they were too busy slamming doors to hear a guy sneak in, be the guy who does the catching out. Land at the bottom of an apartment building you see people landing on, get inside, grab a gun, and wait for the loot to come to you(or go and jump them while they're still looking through the upper floors!).

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Also putting a silencer on the s12k makes one of the most bizarre bullet sounds I've ever heard. Suppressor and extended mag makes for a hilarious beast of a weapon, I had a game where I basically got to charge in behind a bunch of guys and take out 3 of them with them being confused as gently caress the entire time, and I've had another where it being a fantastic building clearing gun has gotten me triple kills just by charging in guns blazing. I don't think you can get it to fire as quickly as the double barrel, but it comes close enough that you can put out really absurd amounts of damage in a tiny amount of time.

The Wonder Weapon posted:Nobody likes the red zone, which I get in its current iteration. I don't think it needs to be removed entirely though. If the goal of the red is force players out of a spot on the map, a few tweaks would accomplish that. I think a better solution would be to have the size of the explosions be much larger without each hit being as lethal, turn it into something that more consistently is able to actually hit players instead of being that ridiculous diceroll instakill. And have the rate of explosions ramp up, so people caught in the center have a reasonable chance of getting away while punishing people that linger or don't take cover. underage at the vape shop posted:i played like 350 games before i got hit by red, then it killed me inside of a building I think they hosed something up a couple of patches ago because until then I hadn't seen red zone killing people through the roof of buildings, before that one would have to get you through a window/door. hawowanlawow posted:It's random and unlikely, that is what makes it funny interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjTKdQ5JPSU

lovely Wizard posted:I mean its almost definitely all 100% legal and poo poo, but hoo boy this is a dick move. Using all the specific engine improvements and tailor made tweaks requested or commissioned or whatever by bluehole to make "kid friendly PUBG that is launching on both XBONE and PS4 next week" before PUBG even hits just Xbone is cold. If you mean stuff for big open world games with lots of activity allover the map, this is the kind of thing they've been doing since the start of UE4 that has meant games like ARK(Rust/7daystodie with dinosaurs) can be made. It is a dick move to try to shoehorn in an incredibly popular game to try to salvage theirs though. The Wonder Weapon posted:I assume PubG will be successfully replaced within two to three years by a competitor. H1Z1 and DayZ were basically prototypes, and PubG is the first whack at a commercial release. Somebody else (probably not Fortnite) is going to copy the equation while dramatically upping the production quality and money involved, add in a couple good ideas that PubG inevitably will refuse to, and end up becoming the king of Battleground titles for awhile. LoL's success was mostly down to being the first free standalone dotaclone rather than it doing anything to improve the game and then being the most popular was pretty much self-sustaining(they also had those great adverts for the game everywhere, "NO MORE DisconnectionsObvious hackersTotally imba matchesAnnoying leavers), pretty much all the stuff about it that was different was to the detriment of the actual competitiveness of the game, whether it was churning out overpowered characters and then nerfing them after a couple of weeks(after people had paid money for them) or casual friendly stuff like removing gold loss which meant that games were decided by which team had a gold lead at 15 minutes 90% of the time. PUBG isn't going to get dethroned any time soon, and because it has some of the same sort of insane replayability as things like CS/DotA/LoL I can see it lasting just as long as them before anything close to a replacement shows up.

It's pretty silly that the devs chose forcing graphics options that made the game run so much worse in the name of equalising things instead of changing things in a more meaningful way like extending the render distance of grass or adding more shrubs/bushes to the map and ignoring people using reshade to make players stand out more.

Hellsau posted:NA players will default to AS, EU players will default to NA, AS players will default to RU, RU players will default to EU. Problem solved. I was queued with goons playing on NA yesterday and noticed way more asian player names than usual, so I'm wondering if this isn't something along the lines of what is actually going on? Macaluso posted:Someone in the subreddit made an offhand comment about the Unity store-bought assets in the game. Is that true? If that's the case, have they said anything about planning on replacing everything with their own stuff at some point? People poo poo on those games because they're usually garbage low effort games which use those assets to get the effort the devs have to put in as close to zero as possible, so that they can churn out another 200 of them. They're the sort of low quality garbage that people have been complaining about clogging up the steam store. The only reason for anyone to have a problem with store bought assets outside of that is that a dev might be using super high polygon count models that make the game run like poo poo, but as someone else already said they're using simplygon which is supposed to optimise that for them. Anyone else claiming to have a problem has probably only heard about those pesky "unity asset flips" but don't know why they're bad or what the problem is and are hopping on the bandwagon. Odobenidae posted:They need to make the speed the blue circle closes at proportionate to the amount of people that are still alive. Since FPP came out I find that in solos it quite often gets down to <30 people by the time the first circle closes and the rest of the match is empty unless you have a car and can go for air drops where you're likely run into people at least. Part of that is I think a cultural thing about how different groups play, western players seem to be more aggressive and willing to take risks while Asian(but chinese especially) players are overly cautious. Dota 2 has a really good example of this from it's big valve hosted tournament where a game with chinese teams facing off against eachother lasted over an hour and a half when games are often half that length, and it was all because neither side wanted to try to make a move against the other unless they were sure they'd come out on top.

Kamikaze Raider posted:I'm curious. Is this based off of any actual information, or are you just speculating? If they did anything to protect themselves they would not be whining about it in press releases or over twitter, but would be taking them to court or at least talking directly to epic about a breach of contract. Both Epic and Bluehole come out of this looking bad for different reasons. I think this was posted here earlier, but here's an Unreal Engine blogpost about the engine improvements that have come about from developing fortnite: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/unreal-engine-improvements-for-fortnite-battle-royale It is definitely pretty scummy for epic to rip off the game in the way they seem to be, but on the other hand it is really really dumb for Bluehole to expect that Epic would work on making improvements to the engine specifically geared around all the challenges that really high playercounts bring and not make use of things themselves, if for no other reason than to better develop the engine for the sorts of large open map multiplayer games that have been popular for a while now, some of which are already on UE4(PUBG and ARK). Which isn't to say that I think Fornite Battle Royale was an entirely practical and largely charitable effort that only accidentally competes with PUBG too well, I don't doubt that they ripped off PUBG very deliberately because it was popular, but I don't think they intended to steal it's thunder by being so popular and beating it to consoles in quite the way they did.

TJChap2840 posted:What is the arbitrary cut off for when Epic can make a Battle Royale game using the optimizations they made to their own engine without being "scummy"? Is it a month, a year..? This is half of the problem, but wherever people would draw the line for arbitrary dates, I think shoehorning BR into a newly released game that people are somewhat disappointed in as it's clear that an early access BR game is a hit and beating it to the console market is going to be firmly on the scummy side to the vast majority of people. Kamikaze Raider posted:I work as a paralegal and deal with contract disputes all the time, and I can tell you that a CEO publicly bitching doesn't necessarily mean they did nothing to protect themselves legally.

But they're not suing them, they just think Epic is behaving unreasonably and are trying to talk to them about it.

VulgarandStupid posted:Which company do you think has a better understanding of the contracts they've actually agreed to? VulgarandStupid posted:Just for the record, here's something on the track record for the legal team at Epic: quote:Consistent with Epic's counterclaims, the presiding judge stated that Silicon Knights had "deliberately and repeatedly copied thousands of lines of Epic Games' copyrighted code, and then attempted to conceal its wrongdoing by removing Epic Games' copyright notices and by disguising Epic Games' copyrighted code as Silicon Knights' own." And Epic's was a two parter in which someone was sued for stealing code while suing epic for failing to provide, which they only got off on because the license had a line that said there was no guarantee that the engine would be fit for purpose, and the judge said that oral guarantees are invalid, and that "promissory representations" don't constitute fraud. So if you were to license the engine on the basis of them demonstrating features that they didn't really have yet and then they lie to your face about what it can and will be able to do and they don't give you it when they said they would you're poo poo out of luck. The only real legal issue/claim bluehole could make is misappropriation of trade secrets because they don't want to help the competition? But I imagine that their contracts/licenses have a big "If we're working with you to solve some problems we can use anything we learn about how you're trying to deal with things to improve the product as a whole instead of sitting on optimisations and features"-clause.

VulgarandStupid posted:I couldn't tell you how many hackers are in the game. It feels like a good amount, definitely enough to cause frustration. But here's thing thing, you have to understand simple mathematics. If there is a cheater, there is a much larger exposure. This is a game where 100 people play at once, 20-40 will be culled at the beginning, but once that is over and you have a guy making 600m headshots on everyone, you still have 60+ people exposed to that. To compare this to Siege, a game that has 10 people in a match is foolish. I get what you're trying to say about perceptions of how much cheating is going on being affected by how each cheater in pubg gets a huge amount of exposure just by sheer volume of players per match(as well as affecting more people), but you seem to be glossing over what he was actually saying while not actually making any kind of reasonable point out of it, talking about things that can catch them early like sanity checks on something like running across the map like sonic the loving hedgehog.

daslog posted:Settings are all on very low. I was not raging when the streak started but people can tilt in different ways. When you're looting by looking at something and hitting F, if you move out of pick-up range too quickly it will not get added to your inventory even though the little pickup animation played, you should hear a sound when picking something up which iirc is confirmation it was added to your inventory. Also get used to looting by hitting tab and dragging stuff into your inventory, it is faster even for single items, is harder to have you interrupt by moving away from something, and you can pick up a ton of things in rapid succession, much much faster than is possible by picking stuff up outside of the menu. If you're having framerate problems, put "-sm4" into the launch options(right click game in your steam list > properties) and put the antialiasing on ultra.

If you set it up to record all the audio to the one track it should get around your problem. Multi-track isn't something you should really bother with unless you plan to actually edit your videos afterwards to mix the mic audio back in to whatever you're going to upload or unless you just really don't want your mic audio in there for whatever reason(bad mic, noisy background, sounding like weedbaby, etc), but in that case you'd be better off just disabling recording your mic altogether.

Looten Plunder posted:OK, I really suck at this game. I've played around 30 or 40 rounds now and I think I've fired a bullet in about 3 of them. Play squad games with the discord goons, you'll have people to watch your back, give you intel, pick you back up when you get shot in the face, and when you die you'll get the opportunity to watch how better players are able to murder dudes(or you'll get to watch the rest of your team get picked apart by cheaters or better placed squads who shoot straighter). Ehud posted:Does anyone have good tips on playing in 4 man squads? I'm looking especially for tips and tactics on fire fights. Me and my people always find ourselves on the wrong side of our encounters with other squads. Know when to disengage, either because The Blue is coming in or because you stand to lose more than you gain from sticking around, like if you're in a situation where you pick off someone from an enemy squad but aren't in a good enough position to finish off the squad and get some loot out of it because the terrain sucks. I was playing with goons yesterday and someone got so focused on wanting to kill someone off that they basically ignored all warnings about the blue coming in and all the calls to disengage because of it, and lingered long enough to not just get caught in the blue but to get downed by the people he was so focused on, who promptly hopped into their vehicle and went on their merry way into the white, where the rest of us murdered them as they drove in.We died to another squad immediately afterwards When it comes to hot areas, be willing to drop what you're doing and to come help people out when they say that they've got someone in an adjacent building or wherever. You don't always have to push in for a kill, but your squad ends up better placed to kill someone that pushes for a squaddie and just being there to cover a withdrawal generally ups your chances of keeping more of the squad alive for longer. Also, always communicate enemy positions, changes to positions, when you lose someone/last known position. And remember to inform specific squad members that someone might know they're there or pose a threat to them, "bad dude 100m NE of me heading X" is fine, but "bad dude 100m NE of me, heading towards you Z"/"Z, bad dude 50m east of you behind <building>" is better. One of the most important ones is knowing when to hold fire, and another is letting people know where your target is before you start firing. Some people have a terrible habit of just opening fire on every enemy they see, any noise you make basically tells everyone in audible range where you are and if you don't tell your squad what's up then you're going to get your squad killed because you've foolishly alerted the enemy to your position before you alerted your squad to theirs. lohli fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Oct 24, 2017 |

Chinese players being problematic due to cheating isn't anything new, there's a cultural thing about how it's only bad if you get caught, and it's fed by a super competitive and high social/parental pressure environment that has people cheating in exams and poo poo to get ahead in life and why China is world renowned for garbage imitation goods that break and sub-standard steel, and that attitude has Chinese players cheating way more than others. The best/worst example of this I remember is in the minecraft zombie game 7daystodie, where if you don't IP range ban china you're guaranteed to have your server griefed to poo poo by hackers constantly. That cheat developers have a way to have their poo poo advertised built into the game only makes things worse, they should at least filter those names out of the leaderboard lists.

VulgarandStupid posted:Usually not unless they enable an actual cheat. If they are trying to shoot you and your hear the bullet hit the cover between you and the bullet whiz, it means they aren’t seeing the texture on their screen and probably seeing blood splatter but the server knows you aren’t being hit. I had buildings gently caress up halfway through a game and was able to murder people through objects that should have been there, this is pretty different though and I can imagine hit detection working properly since it's a case of setting poo poo so low that objects don't render unless you're zoomed in on them rather than something that's causing buildings to not load at all, or causing buildings to be offset some amount. I don't think the server does any "nah you aren't really being hit" outside of the anti-trade system. It would be good if it did because of poo poo like that clip of the guy going around the rock posted earlier.

Starting with a P92, P1911, or revolver seems like it would be a good way to take some of the sting out of poor early game loot, I've seen plenty of games where people get through several houses without even finding a sidearm and then get wiped by 3 guys who got almost fully kitted out as soon as they landed and went hunting. Though I can see people landing and turning to the sky to kill whoever was just above them being a huge problem if that were added.
