I've looked at this map the first time now and i basically learned all of it exept some vehicle spawns just playing the game - without consulting outside scrouces.

Containers, towns and places like the school or the military base have the best stuff. If you pay attention to where people jump you figure that out very quickly.

Cars are a bit more tricky. But eventually you learn where to expect a car and where not.

I don't think there's outside knowledge required here. It's just the kind of nuances you eventually learn that every competitive game has. And i don't know, discovering the good places was kind of fun.

Yep, outside of a few edge cases I basically "learned" that map while playing, just like any other map-based competitive game.

And just like all of those other games, of course people who've studied the map / played more will have an advantage. From FPS to racing games to golf, learning the course is part of the skill of playing.

Also, there's still no guarantee (except for the 100% cars, but vehicles are common enough). I've dropped in plenty of unmarked places and got decent loot, and dropped in plenty of supposedly high-loot places and ended up with some hot garbage. You're just tilting the odds a little bit.

This type of game certainly attracts a certain kind of crowd huh? Never played a game where I constantly mute everyone at least once during a match.

How do you mute people?

 

[zeox]

How do you mute people?

ctrl-t to mute voice entirely

 

[duppolo]

im having connection problems and disconnections... ((

tbh didn't hear anything over VOIP that you don't hear in every MP FPS out there, then muted it for good. Like in every MP FPS out there.

You are kind of putting yourself at a disadvantage solo if you have voice on anyway. Only have team chat enabled.

Oh hey that's the new map it seems, right?

 

[MJLord]

Wouldn't surprise me if it was just a test plane.

 

[Tovarisc]

Could also be developer testing environment. Basically slab of land with every possible item etc. spawned on it for functionality testing.

Ooh I like it.

 

[Daffy Duck]

So I see people saying other people can hear you talking, how does that work?

Is it just as simple as when they are close they can hear you?

 

[Pachimari]

It's proximity voice chat basically.

Yes, but only if you have in game voice on.

 

[Tovarisc]

Yep, in-game VOIP is proximity based. Just be close enough and you can hear e.g. hostile squad talking in the house.

Awesome!

 

[Lifeline]

Any updates for when optimizations are coming? The game runs at around 30-40fps for me for 90% of the time which is fine, but whenever there's a shootout it drops to like low 20s.

Also any tips for a console gamer for M+K aiming, I lose like a majority of 1v1 fights even when I have the drop on them.

I shot like 5 bullets at this dude 10 ft in front of me as he jumped around trying to find out where I was. He sees me and kills me with 1 headshot.

 

[boneyjangles]

I think 50% of my deaths now are from a teammates dangerous driving.

Finally picked this up and we had a full squad going last night. I finally understand why everyones been praising this game. We had a blast.

For the guy above me asking for framerate help. I've got a 1080 & a i7-6700K. I turned textures & view distance & screen up to max. Everything else I turned to low or medium (pretty sure, im not looking at my settings atm)

Game ran smooth for me all night. Only time i'd get stutter was when we first parachuted out briefly.

Looks like their test map

Oh, thats cool.

I'll be sure to change my voice comm settings to team only.

Bought this game over the weekend and cannot stop playing it. The types of experiences these games provide are hilarious. I was in a jeep and some person in a doom buggy decided to start ramming my vehicle. The buggy became stuck under my jeep and I just dragged him for awhile. They hopped out and died.

MAKE YOUR ANIMATION PPL DO OPTINIZATION STUF PLS, THATS LIKE 3X THE OPTIMIZATION.

Did I just see that bush throw an energy drink?

Bleh, sarcasm detector is off, sorry

That can throw will get people spotted, guaranteed.

 

[Nephix]

Jeez, the amount of people using lag switches is getting out of control, are they planning any kind of countermeasures?

 

[ShiftaDeband]

That can throw will get people spotted, guaranteed.

This is exactly why I think it's a bad idea, unless the throw is disabled while crouching?

Even then it does seem to be a little problematic in certain situations anyway, like when behind a tree.

Good. Risk and reward. Don't know why you should be able to fully heal yourself with multiple items without moving your character model an inch.

 

[Protein]

Are there any optimal settings guides for this game? I feel like my performance is not quite there.

Or are there any settings that can be sacrificed without compromising much quality?

Blurriness is another thing that's been sorta bugging me.

 

[Bread]

Anyone else having trouble hearing people in game? I have my voice chat set to all or whatever but no voices are coming through. I know that's kind of a blessing because 75% of people talking on there are racist but it'd be nice to talk shit to some racists after beating them.

I'm not sure if it is just because everybody is presumably using Discord, but I have never heard the voices of other players in this game. I hear my squad talk when I play with randoms just fine, but I have yet to hear any other player use voice chat outside of the racist island/lobby people.

 

[iosa]

Damn the lag, just got one-shot by a guy outside a building 2 seconds after I went inside it. It hurt as I had a good start for once in the military base.

 

[cripterion]

Another fine ass chicken dinner! During the last 10 it's always so tense, something about this game man. I wonder where it will sit one year from now if they pump steady updates.
I just discovered this last week and me and my friend are already hooked.

The 'littering and...' series of tweets was pretty good though.

[TumblingHippo]

I really hate how the awesomeness of having your team mate chatter give away your position is impeded by how most people will just use it to spout racist garbage.

Half of me wishes it was mandatory but I know people would circumvent it or just make it a miserable experience.

 

[Diablohead]

More animations the better, if you want to risk drinking behind a tree that's the penalty.

Is there still discount codes floating around? every day i'm itching to buy this.

The drinking animation is fine. The 'amusing' can throw is silly - you wouldn't be deliberately drawing attention to yourself like that

Anyone playing on EU servers now? It's really laggy.

My friends in discord are hearing people talk near me and I'm not so there's something messed up on my end.

EU servers are like that every day, don't waste your time by playing on them.

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

When people say things like "130" or "bearing 300" they mean degrees on the cardinal directions/map, right?

360 always being directly north?

 

[Lord Phol]

Had a bunch of really good games today, think I'm getting the hang of things. Ranked 7 on my first game with 5 kills. Had a really good position at first but then the next circle appeared. I ran for it too early and got shot down. I get way too anxious over the blue walls. Also never got to kill anyone with the AWM + 8x scope that I looted from the crate that match D:.

 

[jediyoshi]

Yes, you only need to reference the compass on the top center of your screen

Generally N/S/E/W and the mid points between them are just said as is
