I'd like to at least have this option work for when you're jumping from the plane. Sometimes even in voice chat it can be easy to mix-up where you want everyone to go. Setting a marker in this scenario would be great imo.

Ctrl+T is what you want.

It doesn't mute all sounds, just voice chat.Hmm I'll have to look at that, I swore I didn't see an option
My ears will be all smiles now.
No more foul language, screaming and singing before a match.

Why not just turn on Team only?
That's good enough, I wanted to turn on voices so I can talk to people in game sometimes, but not when in the intro or plane.

Gotta juke it, it's real easy, just pretend you're a matador.
Oh, I'm playing solo mostly. And I think when we do Squad we chat through Discord.

One thing that needs fixing:
I usually play this after a few rounds of Rocket League and forget to turn my controller off. Ten minutes into the match when my controller goes to sleep a giant warning for me to turn it back on again is displayed on my screen, I can't close it with esc or anything, I have to turn my pad back on, press a button for the warning to go and occasionally move the stick to prevent it from sleeping again. I then have to quit the game, turn my controller off and launch it again.

Yeah if the controller DC it thinks theres no inputs left. Had the same issue as I left it in after Forza and it started jumping around on my desk
GAF NUMBA WAN!
Oh wow, had my first top 5 finish. Had a great position in a field with plenty of cover and slowly crawling my way into each zone. One guy dropped to a player, I shot one behind some rocks and then another that I spotted moving in a ditch. With just the two of us left, we both moved into the zone, saw each other, fired, and sadly he got enough accurate shots to take #1. What an incredible match.

Looking forward to replays or something to learn how you died.
Killcam basically. It's coming.

Yeah, killcam... but I remember in ARMA 3's version, at one point, he had a history of games and you could see the paths were people went. Think that'd be interesting too.

Does installing the game on an SSD improve performance?
Yes.
Daaamn I got to #5. I was hiding underneath a stone and could hear another player jump off the stone above me.

Is that a sight on the right monitor above what I imagine is this new weapon?

edit: saw the picture below in the Twitter comments and this looks spot on from what I can see. Spoilered just in case.

Wasn't there a crossbow in the game when it came out? I never saw it again.
Wasn't good, plus something about license what I heard
Nah. If you really want to fight 24/7 just go to large cities within circle and you are set 4 times out of 5, but don't force fighting on us who like to lurk at outskirts and avoid unnecessary fights. If you waste your ammo and meds in mid-game brawling you are borderline fucked for end-game because circle becomes 10x more brutal and enemies are on top of each other.
There was a bug with it. It's supposed to return once fixed per Playerunknown's statement.

The question will be... what caliber will they make it in? I'm not sure we need another 9mm SMG, and if it's .45ACP then wouldn't it be better than the Tommy Gun already found in supply drops?
Kriss Vector is traditionally .45 ACP, but can be a variety of pistol calibers. If they do make it .45 ACP, they should swap it with the Tommy Gun. Make TG random spawn and Vector supply drop only.

I've only played about 10 rounds, so I'm still pretty new to the game. In general, I like to parachute into a small group of buildings away from the hotspots, so I can get some gear in peace and try to last until at least the Top 20. Most of the time, I'm successful and can avoid other players initially. But last night, I happened to pick a group of buildings where another guy was dropping into. He went into one house, I picked a different one. He found a mini Uzi, I found a crowbar. I left my house to head into a different one, looking for a gun, and he spotted me, following me in. It was really close quarters, and I saw him coming, so I gave him 2 solid hits with the crowbar before he fired a single bullet, then got another hit on him before he gunned me down.
I was pretty disappointed by the game design/mechanics in this situation. I don't necessarily think I should have killed him with two hits from a crowbar, but it at least should have been a situation where the game made him dazed and confused, unable to see straight or something. It's just demoralizing to be outgunned, get the jump on your opponent, yet still lose. Standard guns should definitely win easily at long or medium distances, no doubt, but at short distances, shotguns and melee weapons should be king. And shotguns are, but melee weapons just seem completely useless. I mean, 3 hits from a crowbar can't down an enemy? Really? Maybe it was just early game lag that did me in, but I still found the situation pretty frustrating.

How so? 30 USD / for a game isn't particularly expensive and there is early access games that are ~2x in price.

Even if the game never even came out now, I'd say my 30 dollars was worth the 3 weeks I've had with it, so I completely disagree.
It's worth mentioning that 30 bucks is the final retail price as well.
Agreed. IMO, all weapons should have their strengths you can take advantage of, given the right scenario, and most of them have for me thus far, except melee. It's the only thing I feel like I've done right multiple times, but failed anyway. It feels like they balanced the melee thinking half the server were going to be running around successfully punching the other half that have AKMs and M16s.
I like your dazed mechanic idea; that would be good for blunt weapons.
I imagine they'll tweak it as they look at balancing weapons, though. Unless it is just lag?

First time I had some truly amazing rounds today, matched with a friendly random and played couple of more games with that dude. In today's online gaming world that's super random for me.

I agree with just about everything you said. It would be great if a hit from a melee kinda knocked you off balance and made your view go a little blurry because as it is now I won't even pick them up in the very beginning like you did. I'd love to have a reason to though because items in the game like that should have some redeeming quality but so far they don't. But I feel they'll address it in due time so I'm not worried.
