My suspicion is that shit gear makes us much more cautious while rocking the good stuff makes us cocky and then shortly afterward, dead.

But I'd rather believe the universe is stacked against me.
Won 2 solo chicken dinners tonight, but in the second game the counter said "2 Alive" and I knew where the other player was so I started shooting at the car they were hiding behind, then another player started shooting at me...there were still 3 players alive FFS!
Almost fucked me over but I managed to get the chicken dinner so all was good...

I wish I had unranked servers to play in. I've been in a leaderboard grinding mode for awhile now and I wish I could have fuck around games. I could play on the EU servers but then I got lag to deal with.
is leaderboard grinding worthwhile if you cant play the way you want to have fun no offense but it just doesnt matter

Yeah playing more squads with people who like TPP its just such a better experience in FPP, less getting shot by people who can keep tabs on you whilst you cant see them.
Still such a good game though and now broke 100
Hours!
My most played Steam Game.

Rising in the leaderboards is fun to me
It's not like I was never going to boot it up if I didn't get a reply. It's not a story-driven game, I wouldn't have asked if I cared about muh purity.

I'm a soul gamer
i hate it when I need to start moving to make a circle comfortably and the red zone spawns where I am 3 times in a row. Seems to happen far too frequently for it to be a coincidence lol

Buy it. Try it for <2hours. If it doesn't run properly, request a refund.
i have the previous gen xps 15 with the i7...i ran everything on low and it ran fine. Weird sound glitch kept happening though...researched around and I read something about how the game was running laggy causing the sound to go awry. Still playable though for the odd game here and there when I was on vacation in a different country
Both my sneaking skills and my aim have been on point today, but I felt like 4 out of 5 games pubg was literally giving me the worst possible circles. Here's how my final game ended just now:
I had just gone through hell to even get to the harry potter tower and there was a guy upstairs, so we played chicken for a bit until time started to run out and I killed him. Then I had to cross through the fucking open road with people sniping at me from multiple positions. Give me a break! Arrrgg!

finally got another solo chicken dinner.... wasn't that committed to it at the start to be honest.
dropped in the worst place, nowhere near the circle, terrible load out so kinda of dittered along.
got 3 kills pretty handily with the kar so kinda got into it then.G
ot super lucky with the end game.
1 lad wasnt paying attention so i snuck behind him and murdered him.
i got lucky on a grenade, it hit me but didnt kill me. loaded with meds so healed up. Circle was 100% on my side
popped a smoke making him think i was flanking, he fell for it so i popped out and murdered them.
still get a rush from this game everytime i'm down to the top
sorry charksss if you're on gaf!!!

Why does it default to asian servers
So annoying

Dang, you really nail that KAR98.
I usually shoot way too early and somehow die instantly once my first shot misses.

playing 3rd until you figure out the "thing" about 3rd, and then play first, and then keep playing first
People can play third-person by sitting/lying behind completely safe walls / windows, but rotating the camera 360 degrees to see all around them. They can spot you in rooms where you can't see them, or make themselves extremely difficult to approach because of the 100% cover.OK now I am intrigued... What is the thing.
In first person they can only watch limited angles, and they can't have the hovering camera over their head.

Take your time at the last circles. Rushing too early will get ya shot down.

I wonder if the bug is actually putting me in Asian servers when I'm changing it back to US. Because I played 5 squad games last night and almost all of them were with Chinese teams.
Really annoying when you can't communicate. They're normally better than me anyway so it levels out a little.

What time did that happen? I get like 80-90% Chinese players after maybe 11 p.m. Pacific U.S. time on the U.S. server, but I assume part of it is because there aren't as many U.S. players at that point. The rest of the time it's definitely American people.
If you pick the Asian server manually, you'll get massive lag opening doors and stuff, so it should be pretty obvious.
Chinese players are usually nice though communication can be very difficult (the funniest was that person with the female voice synthesizer program).
I get occasional Europeans (typically both skilled and polite, though one of them told me that European server(s) are very much NOT polite).
I even played with someone from Taiwan last night.
Oddly enough teamkillers and assholes are almost exclusively American-sounding.
That was pretty good!
Care to link? I can't take the pubg reddit anymore so I unsubbed and scanning it now I can't find anything on the top posts of the week

Yeah, this game pisses me off like none I've ever played before. So I'm uninstalling it for a little while. Otherwise I'll waste half a day thinking that I'm going to keep playing until I have one good round and that round never happens.
I think I would enjoy this game more if the circle had a higher chance of spawning in a different spot from the previous circle. What happens now is you have circles constantly spawning in the southeast when you're running from the northwest. Feels like you're constantly getting screwed. I think they should at least try and prevent that from happening multiple times in a row.
Doesn't do anything for me. Not sure why it would though. I have DPI scaling turned off in Windows anyways.
Thank you, I'll take any performance improvement I can get lol

You know, now that I think about it. I don't think I've ever successfully crossed the bridge when the circle is collapsing on military base.
Way too hot. Theres always a team camping bridge, then a team waiting on the bridge campers.
I saw that. It seems like overkill, but whatever works. My mouse has two thumb buttons so I just bind Q and E to those.

Yeah and if it's not the people camping the bridge then it's the people who are trying to cross the bridge as well that are always behind you when you forget to check.
