PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

For you.
Wow, this crate system is more fucked than I thought. The two free ones are random? The Gamescomm one costs 1200 points out of the gate? That's so ass.

I got 3 of each of the free ones, debating what to do do with them.

That's pretty easy, just sell them in the market.

For you.
I mean, yeah, I'll definitely sell the Survivor ones at least, but do I sell them now, or sit on them for months
Sell them now. Wanderer and survivor are the new "regular" crates and won't be phased out for a while. The only crates worth hoarding are the Gamescom ones, and even those you can probably sell now and buy them back in a couple of days for cheaper.

Should I open the crates to try and get an item that sells more or just sell them?

Hadn't heard this. The item pool is going to stay the same for them as well?
 
I have barely played this game so pardon the noob question. Cabt i have a run down of the crate system. Is it just buying with currency you make in game are are there any completely free crates to be earned?

You can see ingame what the crates contain.

Is Duo FPP bugged right now? I can't see tags over my teammates, can't see them on my map and when one of us dies the other one's game ends as well and get no coins whatsoever. I can't think this is normal? (EU server)

Dang! Just played my first FPP on live, got second. Also, if the Gamescom boxes are any thing like the PTR versions, expect school pants. Lots and lots of school pants. I opened the 5 on the PTR and got 3 pairs of school pants. Whoever gets anything really rare out of there will probably be sitting on a gold mine.

You guys think the first person only mode will be more popular than third person eventually?

FP mode is more stressful and intense in a game that is already stressful and intense. Third person is more chill. For that reason, if I had to guess, I'd say third person remains most popular among the general playerbase.
 
Damn FP is intense, I like it a lot. First game came third, because I still fucked up weapon fire rates and had it single shot in an up close encounter, dammit.

The only thing I hate with third person is being able to peek around corners and over walls while prone. Seems lame to me.
 
Wait, so is everything back to normal, or is F looting now "as fast" as drag and drop?

Drag and drop has been reverted to how it was.

F was going to be instant like drag and drop, but they changed their minds and just made it slightly faster than it was before.

That mistake happened to me today too. Should have kept it full auto. Fuck.

Something that really bothers me about this new Microtranasction crate is that the items like the suit and the camo cap are things that we've had shown to us before, in dev screenshots from months ago and even on the games loading screen. Advertising the game and teasing players with items that you have to throw even more money at them to get (despite there being no mention of that before now at all) just doesn't seem right to me. Even the steam store screenshots has them included. It just makes the whole thing seem even more scummy.
It is all purely cosmetic and adds no game advantage to you? Who cares? That my general position with cosmetic additions, why bother getting upset when you can still play the game perfectly fine?
 
Guy jumps from balcony and I unload an entire Uzi into him.

He teleports 8 feet to the side while still in the landing pose, revealing that none of my shots were actually aimed at him, he plinks me with a revolver with the final shot getting me when I'm behind the corner.



bluehole please

But if you use corners/cover the same way it cancels that advantage out. Like I said, everyone can use the perspective in the same way.

They can use it the same way but at the same time its not necceserily equal either. The way the game forces circle rng can push you towards areas where a person peeking with 3pp advantage is going to kill you. There is no countering this especially at high levels of play.

Its a really big rabbithole to go down arguing this so im going to stop haha
 
Okay here is the secret downside in FPP: if you're trying to back up you will have a higher chance of getting caught on something you can't see at all.

I enjoyed my games in FPP a lot more than I thought I would.

Though somehow I got killed in a house by a red zone. First time ever dying in one

Everyone who was moaning about crates, i hope you are enjoying the free cash

I just made $38 selling them. Game paid for its self
 
Why can't I sell my items from the new crates till 08/09?

I've been using the mobile app for years. I thought that allowed you to sell immediately.
