Won 2 out of my first three games tonight in FPP Squad.

My squadmate ended up killing an entire squad by pulling the pin on a frag as he went down.

 

[Zomba13]

Had a pretty great game earlier. Duo FPP, we dropped at the Pier and got pretty good loot. Got a team that came to us and took their stuff, got another team when we went to get a boat because the circle was closing (they drove a jeep into the water by the boat but we got them) then managed to get into a small cove on the south island where the circle was closing. Managed to get super lucky with circles and even climbed a bunch of the cliff, got a guy who managed to find us but he went down fast. Other team (2v2) started throwing nades and shit down the cliff thinking we were there, did no damage. Then my friend pulled out a nade and just held it. Just held it! I told him "throw that thing or it'll explode!" and he just held it. Then it killed us both because I couldn't move from my spot.

We could've won it if we got up the cliff, which I think I might've been able to make happen.

 

[enewtabie]

Thought I landed fairly clear. Get into a building and Machete wielding guy comes at me. Got him luckily.

Anyone have issues with streaming this with OBS?

 

[Blizzard]

Oddly enough, I've had an enemy in early game drop a grenade as he died, which went off practically in my face and did zero damage.


In my latest game I had a single hilarious moment where I was running down a road looking for a car at the start. After like a minute of running, I find a dacia with a guy sitting in it...in the passenger seat. In solo FPP.

I jump in the driver's seat, he jumps out of the car, I beep the horn and drive off as he runs around in the grass. GTA I guess?

 

[TurboLibre]

Some real suspect matches tonight. Playing solo I got into a fight with one dude that posted up out in the open. When he engaged me I was also getting hit by a sniper that was conveniently ignoring the easy target. This went on for minutes and and even after I died and the dude looted my corpse, the sniper ignored him. Easy to dismiss, maybe the other guy was obscured by foliage or something, whatever.

The next match someone was revving a car engine on the top of a mountain. I walked towards it and somehow there was a guy sniping right where the sound was coming from. And while he was shooting me, the car continued to rev. I don't know how to explain that one away. Feels like people are somehow grouping up in solo.

Grouping in solo has been happening in games forever. It sucks but there isn't much you can do but report them and move on.

Just wish there was some spectate after so I can know for sure. Don't want to report people because I just got put in a shitty situation that feels like grouping.

Are you sure someone was in the car? They can stay idle and rev on their own, it's a known bug especially with bikes.

Not sure someone was in the car, but I've never seen something rev engine on it's own.

 

[Blizzard]

The engine rev bug is definitely real. I was playing a duo game once and we had a haunted motorcycle that kept revving while we were exploring a house. It was pretty creepy actually.


In other news, I finally got my first solo FPP win. I had mediocre to bad circle luck, no scope other than red dot (magic houses failed me for scopes?), and a SCAR + Kar98k. I think I ran out of healing items outside of maybe 5 bandages when I made it to the circle with a buggy I found. I had no kills and parked on a cliff near the coast. It's possibly next to where I had my only other solo win, but that one was TPP. Unfortunately the circle immediately shifted to the other side of the bay, and an AWM kept shifting hands and murdering everyone. I think some shots were fired at me but I guess they got sniped. I eventually drove around the coast to a clump of houses in the middle with vehicles parked outside. There were 2 so I was hoping it wasn't some sort of teaming thing. I went in, hid in a bathroom after someone nearly sniped me from faraway through the kitchen window, and waited.

After poor circle luck, the final circle luck was excellent. My house got picked, though it had at least one other person. I'm not sure if they were upstairs or what, but I could hear them shooting. A bunch of grenades got tossed in, and the bathroom windows were blown out, but no grenades landed inside. Finally with 3 alive, a firefight happened just outside the building, and I went out with the SCAR to find the last guy next to the wall. I hit him a couple of times and I don't think I used the red dot at all, just held down right click and hipfired. He ran around the corner, and maybe he was reloading or something because I followed and hipfired the final hits to win.

With 135 hours played, that makes 1 solo TPP win, 1 solo FPP win, and 2 squad FPP wins. I just need duo wins in both modes and a squad TPP win to fully beat the game.

 

[cripterion]

This game just refuses to click for me, I'm not improving at all. I've put in 70 hours but I'm terrible and normally I'm really good at shooters, like getting abused for cheating good so this is quite frustrating for me. It's for several reasons, the game runs really poorly for me with almost constant freezing, something I'm just not used to as I always prioritize frame rate and smoothness above all else. Another huge reason is just because of the nature of the game, you don't get to practise the combat mechanics that often, I've started hot dropping just to get more action so the muscle memory starts to form, I really wish there was a practise range of some sort. I also feel like the weapons are really inconsistent, like sometimes people die quickly others it feels like the bullets just aren't registering properly. I've had instances tonight where someone has popped out and killed me before my gun has even finished ADS, lightening quick, so either they're amazing, the game has awful lag compensation (so they're getting extra time on me before I see them) or they got extremely lucky. Either way it's frustrating.

I think I need to take a break for awhile as I'm just getting angry and not having fun anymore. I do enjoy the concept of the game a lot and when it's going well I really like it but there's a lot about it that just pisses me off. I wish I hadn't jumped in for another 6 months or so, but now that I have I'd rather not quit entirely but I think a break is a must.

You'll never improve in this game (well you'll get gas awareness and know the spots) cause of the randomness of it all. Look at how the "pro" players did in the tourney lol.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I've been playing only Solo. I just tried squad for the first time.

 

[SkateorDi3]

My squad got wiped by jackfrags and levelcap earlier today. We were pinned by snipers and they rolled up on two motorbikes. Spent the whole time looting, didn't kill anyone. At least I got three wins yesterday.

You can certainly improve gun skills by taking every fight you can. Once you get past the early game and into midgame, randomness is barely a factor. Endgame still has rng, but you can move around a lot midgame and learn tactics.

 

[BigDes]

That's how it feels, sometimes I die in a blink of an eye from SMG/AR fire and it never sits right with me, I don't feel like I was out played it just feels like nonsense as most of the time I don't even see them on my screen before I die due to desync apparently, and it makes me want to log off. Technically the game just feels so poor, and I'm having trouble getting past it, any other game I would have dropped for the performance alone so it speaks to how much I actually like the game that I'm still playing it.

Knowing when to ADS or not is a big thing

If someone is within ten feet of you and you have an automatic weapon or shorgun, the time take to ADS rather than hipfire with the er aimed reticle (when you hold the mouse key down) is much more likely to result in you getting shot.

That seems like the definition of being outplayed. This game isn't about straight up fights and outaiming the opponents. Its about having superior positioning and situational awareness and map knowledge.

If they get the drop on you, you got outplayed. Yes there are issues with clientside hit detection and somewhat low tickrate for a competitive shooter but you cannot play PUBG like it was CS:GO on a 128 tick server.

I play with a few people that always yell about hit detection and that they hit 30 bullets and the guy didn't die. Except that is 100% bullshit. The game has pretty damn good hit detection and trade kill prevention. I have never felt like the game screwed me over on my shooting, its always me that misses. Sure you do get killed while behind cover but thats just a technical fact of online games, and its a bit worse in this game due to ping times and tickrates.

But if you have performance issues it is gonna suck, the game quickly becomes waaaay harder to play under 60 fps (try playing in true fullscreen, that helped the make the game feel smoother even if i had the same fps). The biggest performance increase for me has been turning down shadows as it seems to use a lot of CPU and cpu is the killer for me (always kill any browser etc when playing).

Are you playing Solo or in squads? I found the best way to practise combat is to play duos, its easy to have good communication and you often get a "second chance" if you fuck up or just get headshotted since you can revive. Squads often get messy unless you play with people that are great at communicating and teamwork. Solo isn't so much about the combat (unless you just drop school/military every time and fight) as it is about only shooting people when you have to, to avoid exposing your position to others.

Due to the technical nature of the game and the tickrate being aggressive gives you the advantage, if you see someone coming or know where they are PUSH THEM, you should be one that steps out of cover to shoot, not wait for them. Peekers advantage is very real. Headshots are devastating, it is very possible for a single burst from any weapon to just instantly drop you, but it is also possible that the same burst deals 20% damage due to armour and limb shots.

The fact that you are "accused for cheating good at fps" makes me think you tackle the game in a too direct manner and focus on the shooting too much, I feel like experience in FPS doesn't transfer super well to this game so it is very easy to get frustrated because you feel like you should be better. There is also a lot of RNG elements to the game so no matter how good you are, you will get screwed over every now and then and you just have to accept that and try to plan better. I mean I have like 340 hours in the game now and still regularly finish bottom 50 because we got a shit drop, completely fucked up communication and a fire fight or just ran into some stuff we couldn't handle. At the same time we can reach top 5 several matches in a row or win squad games back to back. (right now FPP doesn't have any skill matching afaik so it is a lot more random)

Well yeah obviously you can get better with the weapons like any game but rng is at all levels of the game, early, mid and late. You could die to the red zone at any point, get hit by a car at any point (or die from car/moto accident), get stuck at any point, gas could be always pushing further away from you, get hit by a sniper shot, etc...

Yeah you can get to top 20 constantly if you camp in a building/shack but where's the fun in that?

Yeah, there's RNG. Skill in this game comes from being able to adapt to the RNG. Why do you think some streamers have insane win rates? They don't win every time, but they are able to play the cards that they're dealt very well. They're able to predict where people are going to be, what moves they're going to make, and formulate a plan.

I have around 100 hours in this game and I feel like I'm just starting to get better gamesense. How to use terrain effectively, when to open fire and when to stay hidden, when to run to the circle.

Even if you play well, you can get RNG'd. But if you consistently play well, you can get a lot of chicken dinners and Top 10's, even if you have an aggressive playstyle like me and my squad.

Complaining about RNG won't make you get better at the game. Figuring out why you died is the key to improving. Earlier today I had a #2 squad finish. With 4 people left, wy remaining squadmate and I were in some houses at the edge of the circle. The next circle was across a wheat field. We thought the other two people were in the houses next to us, so we waited until the circle was very close to start running to the white. Instead, the remaining two people were across the wheat field and sniped us running towards then.

It's easy to say "nothing I could do wow this game has a lot of RNG" in this situation. But me and my squadmate were too focused on our incorrect assumption about the location of the enemy team to consider alternatives. We ran in the middle of the wheatfield without giving it much thought, since we thought the other team would be pressured more by the blue than us. But we didn't even consider that the other team was across the wheatfield - we could have easily ran to a copse of trees, or ran along a gentle slope that would have covered us if we went prone. We had options, but we didn't acknowledge them and got gunned down.

That's the type of thinking that wins you games (unless you have godly aim, but that's not me, or 99% of people).

 

[JDB]

I'm glad so many people jump when trying to avoid bullets. Makes them so much easier to hit as they're slowly floating through the air not being able to zigzag.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

It's a sync issue on match start. It won't go away no matter your settings and how beefy your computer is. I've found once the white appears it'll smooth out.

It doesn't just happen during the start of the match unfortunately.

 

[MUnited83]

Not sure someone was in the car, but I've never seen something rev engine on it's own.

Definitely happens, had my own cars doing it.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Is there actual proof for the idea that some houses have better loot spawns than others? Aside from the military complexes, I haven't noticed a pattern.

I feel most 'regular buildings' only differ in the amount of loot spots they get. My favorite is the three story building with the double open garage at the bottom and a door to the first floor roof.

 

[nowarning]

Those sets of 2x red houses stuck together in Yasnaya are the shit, my favorite place to loot.

I think it's just a matter of having small buildings with a lot of loot spawns so there's a better chance of that stuff being good. It's also why I rarely go into the apartment buildings anymore. They take a long time to loot and there aren't even that many loot spawns in them so it's not really worth the time.

From my experience the only real difference is the number of loot spots. Some places have a higher concentration of loot and thus a higher chance to have the items you want.

But patch notes have hinted at there being some sort of loot quality difference between cities and random farms but dunno how exact that is if it is down to specific houses or just areas.

 

[jim2point0]

Wow. I can't believe how much easier some things are having just bound a key to crouch jump. Getting around is so much easier. For some reason I couldn't do that shit manually to save my life (literally died after failing to get over walls before).

Vaulting can't come soon enough.

People are AFK farming in order to get crates.

http://www.pcgamer.com/pubg-afk-farming/

I can confirm that I've killed 2 people standing in the middle of a field randomly with no loot on them. Figured they just went AFK either due to a disconnect or... life. But never figured people would farm like this.

 

[Croatoan]

Question: Why do people not like kill trading?

If two people fire in real life and their bullets hit they will both die if the hits are critical. In this game if two people shoot, and hit a killing blow with their bullets, only the guy who fired second dies. This is, IMO, bullshit.

Bullets in this game have a travel time and its possible to fire a shot while the bullet that kills you is still on its way. If both bullets hit, and hit to kill, then both players should die. The game shouldn't decide to ignore a bullet for arbitrary reasons. Trading has never felt bad to me in games like battlefield, but the lack of trading pisses me fucking off. Particularly if I die and see one of my bullets hit between my attackers eyes.

Aren't they just bots? It seems a lot more common in squad too, where one disconnects and the whole team resets, but the character model is still stuck in-game.

Happens every game, I let the plane drop me once to see and got 10 melee kills on AFK/Bots farming BP, funnily enough killing them is a great way to farm BP.

 

[StayDead]

Grouping in solo has been happening in games forever. It sucks but there isn't much you can do but report them and move on.

Grouping shouldn't be banned at all. The whole idea behind a battle royale situation like this is people would make alliances to get as far as possible.

Eh, not really. AFK farming is not effective at all. People earn jackshit BP by doing it. Most of those people are not farming anything, those are people that crashed/quit the game (happens especially in Squads by people not wanting randoms without mics on their game. As well as whole teams quitting the game because someone crashed)

If anything, the only way to actually farm BP is dropping at the end to kill those that crashed/quit/are AFK for other reasons. You can get more BP this way in 5 minutes than leaving the game in AFK for a whole day.

I mean... if you only get to play for a few hours at night, then you'd probably get a good deal of BP just afk farming all day with a bot. If you get 50 BP for every 5 minutes, that's 600 per hour. That'd add up to a pretty decent haul at the end of the day not even playing the game.

Seems risky though. Especially with how ban-happy these devs are.

I've never thought of it like that. The problem is there is no direct way to communicate via typing (or to anyone). I could see trying to setup an alliance with someone in the lobby. I could try to setup an alliance with voice but half the time there is loud music playing and screaming.

 

[Hestisdabest]

Yes it should..It's bannable in H1Z1 and is (and should) be in PUBG aswell.How is it fair if a group of people join solo's together and work together...I had this shit happen to me on Monday. I watched as two people were right on each other looting houses together.Everytime I shot one, the one cover fired as the other healed..Super fair!

I wish I got there names but the circle was moving and it was final 15 and I had a ways to go..


Also:the Desync in this game lately had been so god awful, it's embarrassing.Time to use some of that 8 million copies sold & crate money and start fixing this crap.

It's amazing how much I suck in this game. I've been playing CS for the past decade on PC and it's like none of my aiming skills have transferred over. I'm constantly losing 1v1s. Yet I can switch over to CS:GO and have a 20 kill game.

I don't get it.

I think the engine is just really janky. Not that it's the same, but I have a fairly high ranking in Overwatch and can usually hit my target. I think it really needs improvement. I went through the same thing, but I'm pretty sure its not my skill, it's the engine being trashy. The game and idea of the game is really fun, but the engine is pretty terrible right now.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I switched from FPP to TPP tonight and I'm doing so much better, it's night and day, I can actually outsmart my enemies and kill them 1v1 consistently, whereas in FPP I just die in a blink of an eye. I think it's just down to matchmaking honestly, being put with people who aren't super saiyan so I have a chance. This really makes me want FPP matchmaking more, because it seems to make a huge difference.

Yeah, the engine definitely feels janky, and much, much less smooth than Overwatch, CS:GO, or Destiny 2. Even though I constantly run the game at 60+ FPS, it feels far less fluid and consistent. I don't know if that's an excuse, though. I see many former CS players have a great deal of success in this game.

Don't know why I can't seem to land shots. I think having a bot mode would help, or just some type of target practice or free play where we could become acquainted with spray patterns and weapon characteristics.

Do you play in FPP in TPP?

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Do you play in FPP in TPP?

No, I haven't gone into FPP once since playing TPP tonight and I've had more kills in these past few games than the last few days in FPP mode. It just feels like I'm not outclassed constantly. I'm actually enjoying the game tonight whereas the last few days have been really frustrating.

I was complaining about this yesterday, none of my shooter skills have transferred to this game at all, it's like I'm learning to walk all over again. I'm been playing all forms of shooter since the 90s and I've always been the guy at the top of the scoreboard, but in PUBG I am a lamb, a poor helpless lamb ready to be eaten at any given time and it's frustrating, so I can definitely sympathise with you.

I've seen streamers miss lots of shots that should hit. I posted about it last week. I don't think it's a matter of skill, I think the engine just doesn't register all shots correctly.

In my example I posted last week, I shot at two guys in two different situations that were very close by. No hits registered, despite aiming right at them. Meanwhile, in another game that week, I hit a Kar98 headshot from like 300 meters out on a moving target.

I found some software to record my plays now, so if that happens again I can review the tape.

 

[Tokubetsu]

idk if they ever fixed it but never forget there was a bug just a few weeks ago where sometimes shots wouldn't register on your armor/helmet until awhile after

 

[Ryde3]

I just got a GSYNC monitor, and in the Nvidea Control Panel I have GSYNC turned on, and set to work on both fullscreen, and windowed applications.

When I run PUBG in Borderless Fullscreen, it cuts my frames in half, whats up with that? Am I missing something?

I saw that article but it seemed really poorly written and/or researched. For one thing, anyone who crashes during the lobby or plane ends up like that. Sometimes they might come back, sometimes not. Anyone who goes AFK during the lobby also ends up like that.

The dumbest thing would be farming that way. If anything, jumping straight into the school, the base, or a big town might get you 1-2 kills and more points. Landing AFK in the middle of nowhere will make you die from the first circle. You'll get points from rank if no one AFK farms you, but surely it won't be many more points? If anything, the person interviewed who claimed that numbers were dropping to the 70's quickly indicates that the AFKs are dying quickly.

To get the most points, people could drop in games and manually farm the crash/AFK people, but I assume that's unintended and could get you banned.

So basically I feel like they heard a theory and jumped on it without much proof. I get the point that someone could theoretically leave it running while they're at work and have the equivalent of 2-4 normal games worth of BP, but that's still pretty crazy for the electricity involved.

As a counter anecdote I've had only a handful of crashes over 135 hours of play, and never a PC crash, only a game crash. What OS / graphics card / CPU / how much memory do you have?

Is it just me or does the AK absolutely suck at long range? Was just in a match and put a 8x scope on it, set it to single fire, and even then, every shot sends the reticle halfway across my screen.

I have the opposite problem, lol

Can't go back to CS after 3 months of PUBG. Game-sense is gone, and my aiming is not what it was 3 months ago.

Do you play TPP or FPP?

The AK sucks in general. The recoil is not worth the extra bit of damage it does over the 556 rifles.
