I'm trying to link my Twitch account with PUBG, but when the webpage is loading it doesn't connect to the api.pubg.io page.
Has anyone else had any issues with trying to link your Twitch account?

I get that too. I think its because the promo ended 7/7.

Ah, bummer. You would think it would at least still let you link your account though, but oh well.
Not car hitbox, its clientside hit detection on cars and and bullets, so if it looks like he hit you on his screen you get hit and the discrepancy on a vehicle going 60+ km/h is pretty large when you consider your ping, his ping and server tickrates.
Edit: Oh right missed you where on top of a broken car but his car could still have clipped through the broken care via the wonky serverside physics trying to correct for the sudden stop.
How ungentlemanly

I feel the devs didnt expect it to blow up like it did. Like yeah they probablt expected it to sell a million, but 6 million? Like holy crap.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
What if the majority of players were North Korean children? Or what if this game was endorsed by Kim Jong-Un himself in order to decipher the attack patterns of other country's youths
Then we'll be fine because the average player on the Asia server sucks anal dicks.

I've played three matches on AS servers and won all three.
I don't even count them lol, the players there are so freaking bad.

Got this yesterday. I've played 5 games and man I'm bad, which is to be expected i suppose.
I've killed exactly 0 people. In my first game I got top 3 and it was so intense despite seeing like 2 people the entire game.
Anyway I really wish there was a way to test the weapons? I mean besides the starting island. Firefights happen so rarely and I can't just randomly fire my weapon around to see how it works, unless I want to die. I need aiming to be natural and I've got no way of practising. I suppose everyone had this problem though...

That isn't because the average AS player is bad, but because you have a separate rank per server. So you're literally playing against people that have barely played the game.

Played my first 5 games today. Its a lot of fun. Janky as hell but it is early access and i kinda like some jank in my games so what ever.
Best i got was 9th. But getting 9th with zero kills was fun. Getting 75th with 2 kills was way more fun. I know how i will be playing this game from now on lol.

Or that the game favors people with high ping. I do a lot more kills on NA servers than EU ones. I guess NA players suck too lol
Also your ping is higher on out of region server, which means lag compensation kicks in hard and gives you advantage + netcode is clientside.
High ping players can shoot enemies behind cover and rush through corners without any problems.
Imo is essentially cheating if you purposely play on out of region server to get high ping advantage.

Anyone watching Viss right now? Holy shit the grenade that ended that last match!

Watched a several games with Viss and Break after the recommendation, them I like. They kept winning back to back.
What's amazing is that when they won, they seemed to have just around 3 kills. Combat avoidance is key to success.

It's not always like that. I've seen Viss have 15-17 kills in a solo game. In squad games he sometimes racks up 10 or so if it's real hectic.
Yess I'm really not happy about the mk14 coming out to be just crate only too. It should be a rare spawn in the world, at least at the level the SKS drops at. They added the Vector and VSS to the world and they offer nice spice to the games for their niche uses. I want more of that.

Man fuck this jank-ass game.
Land on a roof, it's stuttery as hell, I spot an SKS, run over to it, enemy lands on the roof behind me, I see the prompt that says pick up SKS, push the button, my dude does the reach animation, then the game stutters and the SKS winds up in the enemy's hands.
Fix this shit instead of wasting all your time banning everyone who kills streamers please and thank you BlueHole

Thankfully they are continously fixing the game with constant updates, and the people that handle the reports have nothing to do with the fixes either. What a weird shitpost.
i love hiding in bushes so much
i just sat in one on the edge of the circle and this man comes around all sneaky and i just walk out, stand up and blast him twice in the chest with the S686
obviously it's not very skilled, but i cant help but love the amBUSH
then later i hid in another bush but it was across the street from a house and a man inside with an SKS was looking for me so i died anyway, but hey whatever top 10

I like Viss and Break but they always spend a third if not more or the game gearing up all alone in the gas.
Best stream to watch is the two time imo, no doubt.

If you like Viss and Break, Sacriel has a very similar attitude/style to them. Also he somehow got David Hayter to record his subscriber notifications.

vehicles spawn random? i think i saw 1 bike in 10~ games but i can hear them
It's easy to forget for those of us who have been playing a while, but yeah that shit sucks. It has gotten better, but still not good enough.

Constant updates that, if anything, have made the stuttering and performance worse, and now also introduced this wonderful new bug where my UI is all controller buttons instead of M+KB and my spectate teammate button has mysteriously vanished.
Keep fighting the good fight though I guess. Shitpost indeed.
Will try this after I give the devs a few more days to fix their game, thanks.

Hey, lemme know if y'all think this is crazy, but I think I prefer iron sights over red dots/holos. At least on the guys I use most, M16/M4/UMP. Dunno what it is, but I feel way more accurate with plain ole iron sights.
I think they should do more testing before applying new updates. Players only have one day to test updates on test server before it goes live, that's not enough.
Almost constantly new problems pop-up after every update, they fix something and then they break something. Game stability goes back and forth.
*reported*
Start of the game is janky AF, best bet in that situation is to hit Tab and drag the weapon and ammo in your inventory so the player doesn't do the pick-up animation. I mean they are fixing the game slowly over time. It's still very much Early Access.
They're really wasting all their resources banning one guy though, you're absolutely correct...
It's almost if it's a Early Access game or something oh wow.
And yes, it is a shitpost, unless you genuinely think any resources in report/community management can be redirected to programming. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Weren't they gonna change how fast you could pick stuff up so both the animation and click/drag in your inventory took the same amount of time?
Or am I thinking of something else
You probably already know, but unplug your controller to get rid of those prompts.
Well they aren't going to fix all these issues in a few days time so that's an unrealistic expectation. There's also the fact that, you know, it's early access and all. There will be back and forth on patch improvements because that's just the nature of an early access title and expecting otherwise is foolish nature on your behalf.

TwitchAmazon should buy this. It's now so synonymous with good streaming on Twitch.
they were going to but they changed it back because they realized that was a stupid idea

So I'm watching...딩셉션 (dingception), and the way he plays would INFURIATE western streamers. He hangs around the edge of the map, he avoids conflict, and he pretty much waits till eh circle minimized until he gets into actions. It's a legit way to play, but it's funny watching someone like him and comparing to DrDisrespect for example.
edit: also he punches out windows like I do so he gets points
