that should've been literally the first thing added after matchmaking. actually before tbh. i lost a squad chicken dinner to it and it was the game's fault crashing (crashed as i added a red dot sight while we had a building secured that ended up being in the final safe area).

the funny thing is there is already reconnect in this game. you can reconnect to custom lobby games. the feature is 100% programmed and implemented, just not turned on.

As for the paid chests. If that means everyone gets future content for free, I am all for it. Otherwise you split your user base even further with dlc content.

orrr you just keep producing content because you made insane money selling the game itself??

no game that you buy should have microtransactions. you get to do that if your game is free like dota 2. gently caress blizzard. gently caress these guys.

Also, why the hate on microtransactions? Most of the cosmetic gear in this game is stupid as gently caress and probably will continue to be. Why would I want my babe to look like a school girl? So you can loving see me from miles away while you're crouching in a bush? I guess if you can buy better camouflage it'll be a problem and have a certain "pay to win" aspect. But did you see the twitch prime clothes? gently caress man... what a nasty stupid ugly loving thing.

in apb i made my guy a hard gay cop and i'd like to relive that magic.

Micro-transactions are here to stay, forever, because for all the forum posts, yelling and "boycotts" people love that poo poo. They specifically like paying for cosmetic items because it attaches an inherit value to them. Take away the CSGO economy and see how many people give a poo poo about knife skins.

it's still objectively bad. and i say that as someone who made 400 bucks off dota 2 (but again at least that game is free).

i like those gambling systems because it took down one of the most annoying league streamers (who i guess went to cs:go?) the dude looked like wayne static in the 2010s why did he think his hair and beard were acceptable (phantomlord for the curious). he and some other dude ran one of those sites and made videos pretending like they were playing on the sites without any connection to them.

mic should be open when you're near peeps. the best part of the failed cops n robbers mmo apb was being a cop and using less than lethal weapons to disable someone and hearing them bitch on their mic as your handcuffed them. one of my first games of pubg i disabled someone with a shotgun and as they crawled around they screamed MERCY MERCY and i just went "no." and ended em.

The server issues coinciding with the release of the paid crates is hilarious. Reddit's going to be a shitstorm.

E: even more so

paid crates shouldn't have been put in until the game was actually finished. my computer should be able to run this effortlessly on all ultra settings and i get lots of framerate poo poo even on mostly medium.

PantsBandit posted:

I get the argument that it's early access and people buy in with the understanding it's a WIP, but releasing an update for a game that is significantly worse than the previous version is not a good look. They obviously don't have to delay patches but you should have some pride in the product you're putting out there. If they had just said "we're having some significant issues with the latest patch and will be delaying it for x days", would anyone have really cared?

i'd have zero issues with it if they didn't add paid crates. that poo poo shouldn't be added until release (really never but whatever). they have plenty of money to run this poo poo until it's done.

this game woulda been the goat had they built it from the ground up as first person. the duct taped together mode is already more fun to play but holy poo poo is it annoying to crouch at a broken wall that you could shoot past in third person but keep nailing the wall trying to shoot someone on the first person server.

Yeah it's been really bad recently. I was playing a squad game a couple hours ago and we all got kicked because the server died.

it almost seems like it's on my end since the people i'm playing with aren't getting it at the level i am. i don't have incredible internet but it's more than fast enough to handle any game and i've legit never had issues like this in anything else.

i watch streamers and they have very little hitchin and i'm mad jelly cuz it makes the game frustrating as hell to play.

So US streamers can ain and get one shot headshots, while we aim for the head from 3cm away and still miss.

There's 0-1ms of difference in ping with cable and wifi. What is so bad when using wifi? I get the same download speeds with cable on my pc and wifi on my phone even.. so if there is no difference in bandwidth and ping, what is it? Can the wifi's nature of half-duplex somehow affect gaming performance?

I think some people like the pure skill over the character. Some people like Dennis Rodman and others like Mike... just personalities I guess. It's cool that bland nerds can still make a living though, because I think if most of twitch tried to do characters it'd be pretty cringey most the time. There are some people where I'm wondering... why is anyone watching this poo poo let alone throwing money at it? Ninja annoys the gently caress out of me, he has such good skill but he's the most annoying high school sounding kid ever. "BRO BRO BRO LIKE WHAT DUDE LIKE COME ON WTF DUDE OMG BRUH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW" Maybe he just needs to lay off the uppers or something...

the best pubg streamer is that british guy that whines about backseat gaming to the point he has his mods hand out 24hr bans for anyone even joking about it ("lol dude you missed a broadsword") and is too stupid to realize bitching about it is going to make people do it more.

anyone else with abysmal performance today? it's fine in the lobbies but as soon as there's more than two people on screen in-game it's a slideshow. the fps is fine but people are skipping all around.

i've got poo poo performance except for the first day i played this game (the sunday before last). whenever i land it takes a good 10-20 seconds for me to actually be able to do anything and most every fight is a coin toss (i pretty much only win if i have a shotgun close quarters). it is INSANELY frustrating. literally no reason i should have any issue running this game with zero lag.

Have you ever been around a fan or light that dims/slows down when something power intensive comes on the same circuit? Same idea for the computer. Something kicks on that requires a bunch of power and it slows down the rest as power is diverted.
