Do you guys ever queue up solo with matchmaking for squads? My friends that are interested in the game aren't around all that often and I enjoy squads way more than solo.

Damn, I fiiiinally got around to connecting my account (which I could have done the entire time Twitch Prime existed) just in time to learn the promo ended.

I mean, thankfully the loot looks kinda atrocious, but I might have just sold it and that would have been nice. Probably wouldn't have been smart enough to keep it in the box though.

Is there no way to go into duos alone? There's no option to turn off auto matching and I swear it was there before.

Are you supposed to spend your coins on these crates?
Is there any reason to hoard? I've opened like 3 crates and I've literally gotten 3 of the same shirt in each.
 
The price on the crate is artificial. The items inside are static and don't change.

I'd expect the price to even out with the combined value of the individual pieces.

I'm sure some people are buying the crate at 60, but there aren't that many listed. Rational people will look at the individual pieces and say, oh that doesn't make sense.

For you.
Me, a few days ago: "Yeah, not gonna put in the effort to link PUBG to my Twitch account for a crate"

Me, now: *weeping*

It's an item that could only be obtained in one month only. It was always going fetch a decent price the second it's unavailable and it will only get a higher price as time goes now :p

There is like zero point to actually buy the crates when you can go on Steam marketplace and buy every clothing item currently available (excluding the player unknown set & twitch prime set...which is garbage) for less than $3-4. Or just buy exactly what you want for .04-.30 cents.
 
THAT STUPID BOX IS WORTH 60 DOLLARS?!

NO

NO

I opened mine and I've been annoying my friends saying I am sponsored by Twitch Prime

There's quite a few people offering 55$ for the crate, you can go on the steam market and sell it for that price automatically.

There are only so many collectors who are willing to pay a premium for an unopened box with four predetermined items that cost 1/4 of the box.

Don't take this as me saying people aren't buying it for that much, they obviously are. I'm just saying the items will correct or the box will.

Wait, you can sell your clothes on the marketplace?
Do they automatically show up as items in your steam account or something under PUBG?

Yes, I expect the box to either go under in price or just stop selling.
I have no doubts that both the box and the items will get higher in price as time goes on though.

Shows up automatically on your steam account inventory.

No doubt. I agree, just doesn't make sense for the box to be worth more than the sum of its contents unless people are crazy steam inventory collectors.

I do this if my friends aren't around but I'm craving the PUBG. Solo isn't enjoyable for me. I might just be lucky, but the worst thing I've run into are people who don't talk. It's a totally fine way to play.

I think I regret sneaking around to get relatively high finishes to my skill early on, I didn't realize there was a MMR system and now it feels like I'm out of my depth in the solo queue but my ranking doesn't drop me back down quickly since I still survive a decent time just by dropping out of the way.

I know there was a stat reset at some point, has there been mention of another one yet?

If anyone has an extra GMG voucher that I could use, I would greatly appreciate it!

Looks like all the vouchers posted earlier have been claimed.

EDIT: Got a voucher from blainethemono, really appreciate it!

This game is strange.

Situation 1:


  • We didn't kill anyone except for one afk bloke.
    We won the game - got the chicken dinner - after the last guy ran into the blue.

Situation 2

  • I killed 5 people, my teammate got 6
    We had a great run considering I was afk and landed at the end of the map; managed to pick up a motorbike and get to my teammate
    Got a crate drop with a 8x scope and a groza
    Got to 2nd - we did not get the chicken dinner

Despite Situation 2 meaning that we 'lost' - it was WAY funner than game #1. Though both were equally as tense. Reckon that was the best game I've ever played.
