PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

Is this 'servers too busy' and lag stuff frequent or just a recent thing they're fixing? Gonna buy the game but hesitant to do it right now with all these complaints. I'm in NA if that matters.

I've been gone for a week, but goddamn it feels good to have first-person servers and a FOV slider.

The game also feels 200% smoother to me post-update. Like my character runs a lot faster or my framerate doubled. It's been great for me today.

I have no problems playing right now on NA servers.

it's survival

kills is the most unrelevant stat here

I think winning is incidental. Having good fights and killing people is where the fun is.

If spending a lot of time hiding without making a peep gets you a win -- that might be fun a time or two, but it has to get old.

Picked this up last night and came in 10th with 5 kills in my third attempt. I can already smell that sweet, sweet chicken. And to hell with the 0 kill victory!

Yuup. I'd rather go out with a bang than hide the whole match.

Jesus... What? Are you playing on the lowest settings? This is clearly some type of advantage (not that I care) :p

It's far easier to spot enemies like this

Of course im playing on lowest settings, is there someone who doesnt?

For better fps and visibility, like every MP game where you want to win.
 
It really is a drastic difference. Squad fpp is gonna be nuts!

I am so pumped for ]Squad FPP. Just duo is a drastic change, squad is going to be intense. Can actually have someone on 'overwatch.' As much as I love the third person camera for the peeking, it just takes away a lot of the OH SHIT moments for me. So many times already in FPP i'll be running or right near someone and we both had no idea.
 
Got 7th in Solo. Seriously, it's getting to be a trend to be in the top 10 by the end for most games. I only killed 3 people, but I still think I played it smart.

Except I can't sell the item til the 11th. Which makes me think that there will be tons available around that time, no?

That's weird. Why not? I could sell the crates I bought immediately.

Also, I don't think there will necessarily be tons in a week. It's a rare item. Though I'm fairly confident it will not be worth as much as it is now. It's 'new' and 'hot' for the moment and the whales are chomping at the bit.

For you.
Camo hot pants? Which ones?

Camo hot pants is from Gamescom crates isn't it? So everyone that has them will only be able to sell them at a similar time as you.


... I wouldn't be surprised if you could get like 500$ for them tbh.

Hold on, if you can't sell those hotpants right now, how come someone else is, for example, selling a purple mini-skirt right now? Did you install the Steam app and set up mobile verification of market listings? I know I had to deal with mandatory wait times of a couple weeks maybe before I set up the app.

Seems well worth the cash to get on that. With that money, you wouldn't have to pay for Steam games for quite a while.

Nice kills man. The dude you killed inside the building, he should have moved position! I probably would have.

You can't sell the items from the Gamescom crates (because of the 1 week hold on the keys). You can sell the items from the regular survivor/wanderer crates

I don't. Also I wish there was a way to restrict this on PC... Why even make a game with good graphics?

I recall reading right as this went live people didn't have the 7 day waiting period and then they instituted that. So I think those people slipped through.

I will probably play it safe and just keep crates to sell later.

Yeah I'm with you dude, that dude's attitude about it is laughable, as if it's so unbelievable that someone doesn't want or need an unfair advantage..or just not wanting to look at something that looks like total garbage like that footage.

Same kinda people who would just boost their gamma in night maps of Arma 3 battle royale, why even play the game at that point?
