Bummer that the twitch stuff isn't tradeable. Was hoping to sit on them a while and unload it.
Edit: nevermind looks like they are after 7/7

Does that count down to when the circle disappears entirely? I've never gotten that far into a match.
Good question, I assumed it just ended in a draw but with no wins given, and simply was a way to force action...OR MAYBE the zombies come out after the countdown (now that would be an ending! lol)
I might have missed the boat on the discussion of this, but that thing of moving against the wall in third person change is weird. I totally understand why they did it, and it makes sense, however the implementation is extremely clunky. There's also plenty of surfaces I can still walk into and see further like I could before.
The wall eventually closes completely and it basically boils down to who had more HP/preemptively took meds or an energy drink/got shot first. I won a team round with 0 kills by simply hiding while my team shot at the last guys and as a result was able to outlast the wall by a hair longer.

Apologies if I'm incorrect about this, but doesn't the "match ends in" timer start once someone wins? So basically it will boot you out of that server after five minutes if you are still spectating/idling. By reducing this to one minute, it would free up the server faster.
This game is pretty fun!
My first kill was memorable (well, to me anyway). I landed in a house far way (thinking I would be the only one), but then I noticed a guy entering first on the other side (he saw me too), I enter the house and suddenly I see him looking for me with an assault rifle in hands. I hide behind some furniture. I can see him in the same room looking for me, but for some miracle he didn't see me. The moment he steps out of the house to check if I'm outside I rush to a room he didn't open and find a shotgun there. I close the door and patiently wait for him. I'm sure he will come back to check all the rooms, so he is coming. As soon as he opens the door, surprise motherfucker! So satisfying...

The circle would hold for about five minutes at the smallest size and then start to shrink rapidly to nothing. I won my only solo game by quickly running to the center of the circle and taking a few shots at the other guy.
The circle takes almost 20% health a click at this point so the match ends pretty quickly.

Wish I would have known this last night. We were down to the last two teams. Ours was holed up under a cliff face right near the center of the final circle with the other team above us. Neither could really get a line on the other. So we ended up risking it just for the sake of playing the game rather than waiting. Went poorly, obviously.

Just had my highest kill win so far. Ended on the military base and I had to kill like 4 people on the bridge to get there.
Yea
I wouldn't say zero. The game was ~$10 off (maybe a bit less) on GMG with a coupon code a month ago, 25% off during the Summer Sale isn't out of the realm of possibility, though I wouldn't bank on it.
Edit: Just realized I misread your post as "below 20%" instead of "below $20." Yeah, that ain't happenin.
Literally just an end of game static timer so you can take your screenshots of your win or loss before it boots you back to the menu. Only appears once the game is won.

Hopping on the Discord if anyone wants to join for some Duos/Squads
Would be a nice E3 surprise but I think it's still a long ways out.

Do the more expensive crates have a chance for better gear? Or should I just wait until the weekly BP reset on Sunday and spend my BP then rather then waste my all my BP on one 2800 BP crate?
All crates are the same aside from price.
probably lasts for a month before it goes away I'd imagine, just like the Twitch Prime loot period itself

3rd meal. First match of the day and first time playing in like a week. Feels so damn good.
~$27 on the Humble store, if you have a monthly bundle sub.
Yes, I just got my PUBG loot with the trial.

Just gotten this and so far the only things that killed me are the following
Jumping out of vehicles too early
Killed out of play area
Getting run over.
I have yet to die to getting shot. Somehow I always end up behind people and just ambush them

GAGH I hate this game solo! Got a perfect landing in Mylta Power (small station), immediately found an M16, a VSS and an 8x. Then a drop lands RIGHT next to me, and I grab a level 3 helmet. AWM and another 8x. I then play the game super careful and distant, always hugging the outside of the circle, watching the environment for people in grass and cover. Coming down to Lipovka I can hear shots, but can't actually see anyone, so reaaaaaally tentatively make my way down the hillside past the prison and into some grass and tree cover.
Then just... bam, M16 headshot, I'm dead.
All for nothin'.

Finally popped back into this after initially experiencing sub 30 FPS(probably at least a month ago) to find my FPS in game is now consistently above 60. Nice, will actually start to play now.
Whoever said the holo zooms in more:

Had this real Mr. Magoo moment earlier where I kept hearing a vehicle ahead of me, thought it was coming from around the bend of a hill when it actually ends up zipping right from behind of me barely missing and I manage to get a lucky headshot on the guy passing by. Turns out my headphones were on backwards.
