I’m sure they’ll fix all of these shortcomings in PUBG 2: The Rubberbandening

e: have they ever said why Unreal engine was chosen (I’m guessing initial cost and/or prior experience with it)? While it obviously has some positives, the nature of what they wanted to build - 99 people online in 8x8km FPS - seems like it’s not ideal for UE.

Yea why wouldn't they just go the DayZ route and spend 5 years building a whole new engine???

I mean yeah you can say it's not ideal but they are the ones with $100M+ in the bank and the most popular game in the world

$100m+? Try closer to a billion at this rate. The game has sold 25 million copies on PC alone.

I'd be surprised if it was close to a billion. Not every copy is being sold for $30 and they are probably spending a shitload on Azure. They could be sitting on a few hundred million for sure tho

For everyone who thinks the idea that anyone would cheat because of crate monetization is ridiculous, do you remember when Bluehole had to change the way BP was awarded to curb players from continually idling after they introduced the gamescom crate?

For reals. Do people not remember having 30+ AFKers in a game from bots farming BP?

Did they not have a weekly cap on the number of crates you could get per week back then? For some reason I thought you could just keep buying as many as you want for 7,000 BP or whatever it was.

Really the best option would be to never have loot crates in the first place but it seems like every loving game has them now.

Well if it didn't make them piles and piles of cash they probably wouldn't bother

Has anyone experienced a weird delay between where your camera moves and when your character's movement actually follows? A friend of mine just started getting this problem. If he moves his mouse, the camera turns instantly, but he doesn't actually change direction for another second or two after. He tried reinstalling but no luck.

That sounds pretty wacky. Sometimes I double tap alt and get stuck in "free look" and get confused for a sec. That doesn't sound like the same issue though.

You are doing yourself a disservice by playing passively. You will rank up, sure, but your skills aren't actually improving. So you'll get to a point where you are playing with skilled players but your skills are lacking.

Land in populated areas. Take fights. Run towards gunfire/airdrops. Basically want to get as much practice shooting as you can. You'll die more, but your skills will be improving.

Counter-Strike is great because it has hitscan. Hitscan is fantastic because it means the firearms are an abstraction to enable fun gameplay, and also has great bonus side effects like scaring off insufferable milsim autists and making the server-client interaction much more straightforward. Any game with non-hitscan bullets is worse for it (arena shooters with very slow projectiles excluded obviously).

Hitscan with the ranges CS deals with makes sense. Hitscan from in a game like PUBG where you can shoot at somebody 800m away does not make sense.

Edit: Hey, is the "custom game" just regular matches with traditional server lists and poo poo? Because like...if you don't want random, can't you just make a server and wait for it to fill up like games used to?

Sorta, yea. You can customize all sorts of parameters like how much loot drops, what type of loot, how many air drops, health items allowed, revives allowed, etc etc. Only "approved partners" can create custom games though (mainly prominent streamers).

It has all the skills, sure, but new players die so quickly that you spend 90% of your time on the killscreen. Playing like overwatch or something is a lot more practice/min than CSGO, at least at the start.

Hop on some aim_map in CS for relentless practice

I'm pretty sure they're changing the loot spawn rates on the Test Server daily without telling us, as we've gone from no Snipers on the map to finding Kar 98s in every building.

Also, the new parachuting system is another case of something they must've spent a lot of time and effort on, and I can't imagine anybody will give a poo poo about it. Seems like they should've focused more on fixing the 2-month-old bug that reset your PoV if you jumped out the left side of the plane (WHICH IS STILL PRESENT).

Didn't they juice the loot spawns on the other new maps when they were on test? Then dialed it back after launch? Or am I mis-remembering

I am perplexed as to how that PoV bug was there in the early days of PUBG, then they fixed it, and now it's back, but it also survived the parachute revamp. How in the gently caress?

I assume this has already been posted countless times in this thread, but https://beta.pubg.report/ is sooooo cool. Search for your username and it finds all the streamers that either killed you or you killed them, and links to the vod so you can watch it. Twitch needs to make this an official thing with every game.

That was my question as well. Since my twitch username & pubg username are totally different, I wasn't sure how they were linking them up. The only way I could think of was OCR on the stream itself...seems like quite a feat if that is the case.

It amazes me sometimes how much effort people will put in to trolling. I at least kinda get the cheat vendors who advertise their wares in their usernames, when they're showing up constantly in the kill feed of a popular streamer that probably drives sales, but the idea of constantly creating burner accounts and cycling money through them just to gently caress with people is somewhat mind boggling.

Seriously. That guys life must be so sad to be wasting it on dumb poo poo like that.
