I have no idea how to find my way out of the gas in Battle Royale. I wish there was a map with a ring like in the Arma 3 version.

When you get the red damage effect on your screen, run away from that.

But yeah, the game really needs a map ASAP.

I hope in the non-BR version, you gain the map by visiting the "you are here" signs throughout the land.

Or like while standing near that sign you can craft it with a piece of scrap cloth. Each cloth has the location of one of those signs. Then combine those pieces to make a whole map.

Yeah you do that while everybody else just shift-tabs and opens an online map.
 
I imagine that would destroy my FPS. Already my 970 drops to 40 on Ultra, despite this game being incredibly bland.

It does. I play at 1000 but switch it to 3000 for a bit to see where I'm going when I need direction.

If you can do high at 3000 it's worth it compared to the performance impact and minimal graphic improvements of Ultra.

Me, and several others have noticed zero to non performance issues by increasing the view distance. It doesn't affect anything. I'm running on a 7970 and a 5 year old i5 CPU. Ultra or hard, both run smooth.

Not me. I go from 40-60 on high 1000 to 20-30 on high 3000. I have a pretty crappy videocard though. GTX 650 TI Boost and an I5-3570k CPU.

Guarantee I'm going to screw up this post? Yeah.

Loot adjustments.. Yeah, loot is too good right now. But now i'm worried they'll end up breaking it again.

Good thing we're loaded up now. Time to play it smart and target my first bandit with my beloved sniper rifle. It might not be my exact rifle, but it fills the hole in my heart from the other one.

Yeah lol. I just did a quick round after the patch. Came across at least 10 hand guns. But didn't find any ammo whatsoever, not even in the usual places. Its all coffee and sugar now. I'd be okay if they nerfed the ammo spawns. cause it was getting stupid.

Also 2 hand guns keep respawning where we logged off.

Sad to say I haven't played this since Dying Light came out.

Quite the opposite for me. Dying Light is amazing in the respect of zombie interaction actually working, and of course the parkour movement, but I still get that player interaction itch that only H1 is scratching.

Same. Especially if the looting is as good as I hear it is now, I'll start sinking some time back into this.

They have a lot more canned food to loot at least, it's just water you need to worry about. I just ended up stocking 10 waters or so for our adventures last night.

FRS and I felt like we were the only ones that survived the apocalypse on Solace last night. Only saw 2 other people in the distance and that was it all night.

Yeah it was kinda nice being able to walk around, not getting harassed.

I've been running into more people today than i did in the last few days though. Scary shit. i'm done for now lol!

Ok I just hopped back in. I'm loving that there is actually ample loot! Only problem was I found more ammo than I knew what to do with but couldn't find a gun to save my life. lol

Loot is good now, much better with the tweaking. Guns aren't everywhere in the city and ammo isn't too crazy. Food is great, especially when you consider it canned food will be what lasts through an apocalypse.

This isn't true but I guess it doesn't matter if the guns are scarce.

I don't understand someone killing me on sight, then they didn't even loot my body. I had lots of food and water. Slightly annoying.

Anyone playing tonight with teamspeak?

screw that i'm out lol. 2 guys with snipers were aiming and shooting at me.

I was about to but I don't know. Wish we had more on TS again.

I want to save my weapons for a night where we can ambush some bitchasses as a group. Maybe a certain group camped just north of us that took a certain somebody's sniper rifle? I like my current one, but it's not the same as Ol' Betsy.

I don't know man, just not feeling it tonight if it's just us two going against the weekend bandits. If I did, it would be to hold down a position to get my first kill under my belt on a deserving douchebag. :p

Fair enough, didn't keep the weekend in mind. No wonder it went so easy last night.

Gee.. people are mean... lol

Decided to go on my own little adventure.
Some guy is busy building his base, i walk past it, and he starts shooting. I turn around shoot him a few times, he's dead.
Other guy i run into is being chased by zombies, asks for help, and if i have some water. Sure i'll help you out and i'll give you a juice. Zombies are dead, i'm bleeding, patching myself up. Guy shoots me with an arrow. Take out my gun, he's dead. Asshole.
Decide to walk back to where i started. See another guy, "Friendly Friendly!" Turn my back to him, and he starts aiming his bow at me. Pull out my gun again, and he's dead too.

People are sure full of it. Got a ton of ammo out of it, i guess that's good.

I didn't want to KoS anymore, but i think i'll just stick to doing that. no one can be trusted.
