PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

So why are Gamescom Invitational Keys being sold for $8.00+ on the marketplace? Are these the same keys that open the Gamescom crates? When I try to unlock the crates from my inventory the game gives me the option to buy keys at $2.50 a pop. Me so confused.

So I bought one of those Gamescon Invitational crates with BP and it won't show up in my inventory in Steam. It shows up fine in game though. Anyone else have this problem? Is it happening because I'm playing the game via Steam Family Sharing?

People are dumb. Really, really dumb. That's pretty much it.
 
I think i suck with KBM

Leaning and crouch toggle and ads just feels jumbled to me. Im used to simpler shooters like halo on pc

Under the "gameplay" tab you can change the crouch to "hold" instead of toggle--as well as other things like peeking. It might help you out a bit. Also, I as well as others find it easier to use the side mouse buttons 4 & 5 as your peeking.

Thats still very decent system other than GPU, just upgrade GPU + overclock that CPU and you can run the game decently.
SSD would help a TON too with everything outside game too if you dont have 1 already.

I plan on building a new system shortly so I don't want to put any money into the old one, was just kind of hoping it could run the game on low settings

Bought my first, and probably only, Gamescom box and managed to get the School Skirt, which currently is selling for somewhere around $300 on the Steam marketplace. Hoooooo boy!

I had no idea it was even rare when I opened that box. I just thought: "Heh, it'll be kind of funny to run around with my dude in a skirt for awhile."

You can buy the gpu and ssd already and move them to new system when you get it.
This way you can play already and maybe if lucky you are happy with that and dont need to uupdate rest.

Have some friends who want me to get this game. My system is outdated. i7 860 with a Radeon HD 6850 8 gigs of RAM. Any chance it runs on low/medium settings?

Running i5 750 @ 3,8 ghz, HD 6970 2gb and 12 gb RAM. Game runs like shit 15-30 fps. On low (textures on high as it doesnt seem to impact performance).

What are the chances that I make bank if I buy keys for my Gamescom crates? Or am I better off just hoping that prices will rocket once they'll phase out?

You see this with every game's crate key.

Granted, this is a lot higher than typical, but for some reason the any time you see keys on the market, they are a bit higher than if you just buy it from the store.

Its just dumb people with too much disposable cash.

Do I open the crate and sell the individual items or do I sell the crate itself? I assume it's the individual items I'll sell on the marketplace?

I want the trenchcoat from one of the crates, but the rarity says I'm going to get dunked on before it's ever a reality
 
Posted a thread about this but I'll post it here too. Here's some stats shared by Bluehole.

Just won a game with only a pistol, no armor/helmet, plain shirt and black pants in solo first person mode. One of the most fun games i have had, currently giffifying some of the highlights of the rounds but sadly ran out of space so that i couldn't save the coolest moment.

I was in the top 5, lying in a bush in the final circle, i hear shooting next to me, somebody dies and the dude next to me rises from the field and runs towards me, sees me with an SKS and level 3 armor starts spamming the shit out of me, as i spam him with my 7 round pistol, both ran out of ammo and i just watched as he was aiming at my head and probably spamming left click because that's what i was doing, like a second or two passes and we both start to reload and just as he is complete a shot comes from the other side and kills him. Thank you my guardian angel.

I still haven't gotten a chicken dinner since launch. I swear I'm gonna pull an all nighter soon and not stop playing until I get that chicken. Admittedly I haven't tried hard for the win though.

Oh man, there's a lot of interesting content too in there. Thanks for the heads up!

If you're looking for even more info on pubg, JackFrags also ran some tests for weapon damage on a private server. This might overlap with Fugglet's content, but in case it doesn't: MYTHBUSTERS + Damage Stats - Battlegrounds.

Also, Respect Your Elders Vol. 6 has a section on ReShade and filters that make spotting much easier. It's almost cheating, how good it is, but PU himself has said on Twitter that it's allowed.

Finally another solo chicken dinner. 2 kills. One guy I punched to death right after landing. Other guy was, as you might expect, the final guy. Feels good.

Also played one game of 3pp duo with a friend and I am never touching that gamemode again, jesus it is so much worse than 1pp. You can see people just constantly using the camera to look around edges and it is dumb.

I spot a UAZ as the blue closes in. Too good to be true, right? So I approach cautiously, scanning- then just as I start to believe, ambush from 90 degrees left. I reflexively turned and unloaded a full AKM clip from hipfire dead-center. Meat.

Learning to aim with a mouse again is very satisfying. I almost want to go pick up Overwatch or TF2 or something.

I don't like FPP that much, but I just did a round of pistol only, and it was actually really fun. Love seeing people scramble from the almighty silenced P92 because they have no idea where they're getting shot from or what's doing the shooting. I did give myself armor/attachments/meds though.

Awesome UAZ kill too.

I really hate the 7 day wait to sell things in the market. I got camo hot pants two days ago and by the time I can sell them I'll be lucky if they're worth $50

Kind of like why Twitch crates are being sold for 40+ but the contents are less than a quarter of that total? I think the PUBG community might just be kind of stupid with this stuff.
 
Man my mic not working is screwing me over big time.

Can anyone help me? I have realtek or whatever the hell its called but cant get my mic to work. If I yell LOUD, I can be heard very faintly.

Latest drivers are installed and ive tried other mics

Wow...just had my first squad chicken dinner with a group of GAF guys.

That was an awesome game chaps. One for the ages.

I got my first squad win a couple nights ago with some GAF people, also. I didn't kill a single person. :(

Have you tried changing your microphone volume in Steam / in-game? Or if you're in Discord, that also?

Gonna eat crow here, I really thought I wouldn't enjoy 1st person that much due to camping being more effective but I think I now like it more than 3rd person.

It feels much more immersive.
