PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

Swimming underwater is ~30% faster.
I didn't want to do that for 3 minutes straight. I was more impressed that someone would have been able to see what direction I was going from that far away, and wait on the beach that long when they're the only one in the city far outside the circle.
 
I know I'm maybe annoying with this stuff, but more people are playing PUBG than Dota at this moment... Never thought I see the day a game "beats" Dota

PLEASE READ YOUR EMAILS

WTF WHY AM I ANGRY ABOUT THIS

Lol, I do read them... That number is just so high cause I don't click on every unimportant mail and it stacks up every time new mails come in...

I mark them all as read later when I am on my PC ;)
 
Ugh, just lost another #2, like the fourth in a week.

I knew where the guy was, it was the very very final circle before it all goes blue, we were both prone in grass, but I only had a UMP.

I was so tense I accidentally fired a couple of shots off. I then had to unprone and rush, and of course died. :(
 
I just started this game today. My fourth match, I got my way to #2. The game is way overhyped, imo, but still fun.
You should play with me if you're winning too easily. :P

I'm not convinced "overhyped" is a useful term to discuss most anything since it's hard for me to imagine a precise measurement of the exactly appropriate hypeness for any given thing.
 
Overblown then?

I mean it's super fine if the game doesn't click for you, cause no game can be for everyone.
But, this kind of success doesn't work only on hype.
People, including me I must admit, really like this game cause it's great fun.

One thing you should try before tossing it is playing with friends in a squad tho. I don't play solo at all, don't like it. But in a duo or squad with friends I have the time of my life. Which is crazy cause I don't especially like shooters or multi player games...
So for me it's a genuine phenomenon

Edit: what naarmight said :)
 
Gamescom keys bounced back to be worth over 4 dollars, interesting
shoulda have saved mine instead of having just sold it for like 50 cents profit lol
 
I've had the game less than 24 hours.

People made the winner winner chicken dinner sound difficult. I only saw a hand full of dudes.
I'm telling you, try playing with me. I'll show you difficult. :P I've won the game ONCE out of 124 hours played. I really want to see how the people operate who consistently get top 5 or whatever, since maybe once in that timeframe I've seen a player of that skill level as a teammate.

I've ended up top 3 in solo/duo 5 different times in the last week though.

I'm really not trying to brag. I'm not a very skilled multiplayer gamer. I'm ok. Timing and patience are my friends.

As far as my Solo strategy, I try to land somewhere alone that had 2+ buildings to raid. Hopefully I can get a shotgun and assault/smg.

Then I make my way to the center of the circle. Nothing exciting. Just check out my surroundings and move carefully. Sometimes I'll find a car, exit itband the stake out the car and kill people that try and take it.

Also, proning works.

This triggers me. I just...just please screenshot. I'm having flashbacks.

Also, what the hell is happening here. Reshade potentially being blocked or some shit?

BattlEye at random blocks it, yes. It is intended, but isn't as devs have green listed it as okay thing to use.

Just restart game time or two and BattlEye will let it run. It's weird like that.
 
Now that Battlegrounds has surpassed Valve games on the most concurrent users, Valve's next move is to make their own battle royale game to surpass Battlegrounds. They will call it PUBG2.

Or sent fruit basket to people at Bluehole and keep taking 30% off of the top for insane income.
 
I tried Reshade.. I get decent FPS with it, but I've been getting killed like crazy. I'm wondering if it somehow causes some lag or something. I may have to remove it and see if it changes anything. Maybe I've just had really bad luck with the game lately.

Any Reshade guides? Must have missed it!
 
Had my first round, too and made the 5th place...Without finding any weapons, haha. I basically just ran for the white circle and crouched around, hiding and praying. :D

The first few games are always easy / easier to win (won my first 3 games after the rank reset). Once you get higher rating, the difficulty of games ramp up, players are a lot better at the game.
 
So has anyone else noticed that the ratings system is completely broken? It really overrates just playing the game, if you play a lot and do complete average... you will be very highly rated.

Yup, and if you're trying to maximize wins it encourages spreading your playing time across all the servers so you don't get screwed over as badly by the skill based matchmaking.
 
Haven't played in a couple weeks. Did they make it harder to find AR's? I just played about 3 games today and in all of them I didn't find an AR until mid to late game.

I know they made the SCAR rarer maybe a month or so ago. You probably just got unlucky with some bad RNG. Finding at least 1 decent AR usually isn't too hard.
