Uh what? It's not an unreasonable expectation.

Someone in the thread a few days back said the Twitch Prime loot would be trade-able once the promotion ends but I've been unable to verify it anywhere. It's not loot I'm anxious to use but if there's no reason not to unpack it and maybe use it, I will. Can anyone link to a source showing you will be able to trade it later on?
I've never tried but aren't frying pan one hit kills if you jump attack with them on the head?
Me and my 2 friends had a fight against a wild Dacia today, we only had one shotgun and some rounds between all of us and an empty pistol and we kept juggling that one shotgun between us every time the dacia would hit one of us with the weapon and then the downed player would give the shotgun for the closest one and he would keep the dacia at bay.
In the end i was left with the shotgun and the Dacia drove over both of my friends who were resurrecting and this was the conclusion of the long ass fight. Not as epic as Hind D vs solid snake but it was a lot of fun.
Winning multiple games in a row feels so satisfying, i don't remember a game with a high sense of accomplishment like this one has, beating the odds in dota tournaments comes close but this is so satisfying when everything clicks.

I mean, the wording was muddy because it's supposed to give just enough of an impression of exclusivity without lying about it. You don't expect them to say "on Xbox six months before PlayStation" do you? It's a marketing tool.
Sony goes with "First on PlayStation", which is somewhat more to the point, but does the same thing.
Update pushed to next to week.
That's good. Usually an indication that it will be the monthly update.
Following my usual strategy, I plan to parachute into the nearest town at the end of the plane's flight path. I wait until the last minute and am forcefully ejected from the plane over my target, Primorsk. As I drop straight down towards the town, I take a look back above me and see about 7 players just idling in the air. Either they had the same plan as I did or they weren't paying attention.
As I parachute into Primorsk, I take a look around and see at least two other players are headed there as well. Fantastic. Fortunately, I land on the outskirts while they land closer to the center. I burglarize 2 houses (obtaining a SCAR, the MVP of this match), and decide to leave before either of the other two players happens upon me.
I keep to the pine trees above the road that straddles the beach, and head to the set of houses between Primorsk and Pier Town. Nothing notable inside, but as I head up the stairs into the attic I suddenly hear multiple gunshots very close by. I can't be sure if it was another player shooting at me and being a horrible shot, or if it was another player nearby shooting at someone else. I shelter in the attic for a bit and confirm that I'm not being immediately chased. I carefully make my way outside and start heading east again across the beach towards Pier Town. Looking back I was just begging to be shot by someone in the trees to the north, but most of this game was pretty lucky so oh well.
I keep my eye on the houses I've just left as I move and see someone leave them. I take cover in one of the rare bushes on the beach and manage to get in a shot with my SCAR w/holo sight. I guess I spooked him because as I continue towards Pier Town I don't see him again.
I pass through Pier Town without entering any of the buildings since some appear to have already been ransacked. I make my way to one of those odd octagon buildings with the separate stories located right by the western bridge to the southern island. I've found good stuff in the top stories of these before so might as well check it out again. As I'm inside, I hear someone run up to the building. He's not exactly stealthy. He barges through the door and I gun him down with a Micro Uzi quite easily.
I grab his AKM, AR suppressor, and at least one First Aid Kit to give me two total (these will be critical later.) Since the circle appears to be contracting to somewhere around the military base, I decide to swim directly underneath the western bridge.
Once I make it to the island, I tack a little east and take cover in a shack just inside the circle for a brief second before I have to move south again. I make my way up to the top of a hill, take cover in a bush, and observe the surroundings. I hear shots from my left and see a buggy rolling down the hill and a player moving around. I see another player moving to my right. I take a random shot at the player to my left with my SCAR, which could have been a serious mistake since I only had a Red Dot, but fortunately the suppressor saves me from making my location known.
Now I have to move down the hill to make it to the next circle. I decide to move mostly prone from here on out, but as I'm going down the hill I suddenly can't change the direction I'm looking. Panic. Turns out I just needed to go to crouch to get out of an awkward position. Phew. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of cover between me and the next circle, but no one sees me. However, I get overtaken by the circle and take a lot of damage. I manage to get inside the circle and take cover behind a rock. 1 First Aid Kit down.
The circle is contracting to a parking lot on the west end of the military base. I make my way there in prone, and once again I get overtaken by the circle and just barely manage to get inside. I take cover under a guard tower and use my last First Aid Kit. I see flashes of gunfire inside the parking lot but I can't be sure if he was firing at me or someone else.
It's all prone from now on. The circle is very small at this point and there are only 3 players left including me. I make it to the parking lot proper and see someone get up and move. The SCAR takes car of him. I don't think he knew where I was. Suppressor!
I have no idea where the last remaining player is at now. The circle contracts to an incredibly small area and I prone my way over once again. I squeeze between two concrete barriers when I see the other player emerge from another barrier across the way next to a hole in the fence. He also sees me and gets the first few shots. However, I guess me being prone while he was standing up was the difference, as I gun him down and win my first chicken dinner.
Holy shit.

It's not like they missed last week. And this zombie feature was shown at E3, where they're at, so it's not crazy to assume that they're not in their office working on the game.
They also specifically said that no work was being pushed back for this zombie update and it's coming after optimization.
Although at the end of the day, it's up to you to decide if they're lying or not.

Do you consider vaulting under the umbrella of features like zombies?

I need more time sniping, I missed too many of the easy shots over estimating drop.

So is the whole strategy in this game to camp?
Armor/helmets have a durability value and a damage reduction value. That headshot you took did less damage as it would have otherwise, but reduced the durability of the helmet. The helmet gets destroyed once durability reaches 0. It is definitely more than cosmetic. Hope I explained that clearly.

Despite the doods name sounding sketch af, that just looks like regular server desync to me.
Speed, violence, momentum.

Is this the Xbox One version?
I should have said, I was camping there for 2-3 minutes and there's no way he saw me move to that spot as I came in from the other side of the building. I was sitting there without making a sound when the nade came in, you can see him shoot me before his gun is even aiming at me...there was no desync.
I mean the guy has a k/d ratio of 12+, a win ratio of ~35%, plus his name is" ready-to-cheat"...

In solo, pretty much. Kinda killed it for me eventually.

Bikes are super inconsistent on when they throw you off their back, i wish that the next patch would make it so that you won't fall off 90% of the time your bike decides to flip.
I just avoid the Bikes entirely as any minor bump will send you flying to your death. I had that happen few too many times. Only in a super desperate situation would I use a motobike.
I like them the most but sometimes you just get flung into a random direction while driving which is driving me mad. So many times i have started doing an barrel roll and fallen down to my death from a small bump of a road. I have even have my own bike teleport behind me and knock me down when i have tried to lift it up from the ground.

The three seat bike seems to be the worst. Tilts and end-overs at the smallest bump.

At this point I'm just waiting for them to fix the euro servers. Never seen such shitty online behavior in a game, hits don't register, get stuck in the decor, can't seem to open or go through doors (when they don't physically disappear), parachuting woes (parachute won't land where you want to, get stuck, take damage when you land). It's amazing the game is this popular when getting normal things done is such a random affair.
Still love the game though but after playing a few rounds of BF1 where my shots landed exactly where I wanted them to be, I don't feel like playing pubg so much until they fix all that shit.

Just play on NA servers when it's peak time on EU ones. Servers in both regions are shit during peak hours.
I've been watching YouTube videos of this game for about a month and as a result got 14th alive in my first squad (randoms) match. Considering I spent half the match figuring out the damn menu system I'll take it.
From what I can tell, so far, positioning is 75%. If you can get to good cover once the circle gets in its final stages, you have a massive advantage. We got to the top of one of the mountains and just picked people off. I would say having a team that can cover you while you move or heal is probably 20%. Aiming and not getting killed in the first minute are the rest.
