I don't care about cost of crate because people who want that stuff will purchase them individually for fraction of cost.

The unopened Twitch crate is selling very, very well, at over 40$
Yes, and yet people still buy the crates regardless.I don't care about cost of crate because people who want that stuff will purchase them individually for fraction of cost.
7 sales @ 37-ish and over price. I wouldn't say it's selling very, very well. 20 seems like sweetspot price for crate, which is almost 3 times cost of individual items.
Gosh.. I'm soooo sick of all that crate talk. The PUBG reddit used to be so much fun (it really reminded me of the Overwatch reddit where people posted hilarious moments and PoTGs), but now it's honestly just... no. Maybe it won't help that I'm bitching about the bitching. But I wanted to air my thoughts. ;w;
I never played h1z1 but from the vids I have seen PUBG is totally different game.
I have always disliked it how game specific sub-reddits are almost always circlejerks of memes and only praising the game where trying to talk about issues affecting the game gets you downvoted to the ground. I get where you are coming from and I see value in community posts like that, but in general one shouldn't overshadow or straight out make another impossible.

Considering buying this. But i doubt i would play anything but solo. Still worth it? How longs the average game assuming you dont die in first 5 mins lol.
Still worth it. Solo is arguably one of the more rewarding game modes. Full games are around 35 minutes.
Around half an hour.
Still great solo...do not hesitate.
There are buy offers right now @43$
And even CS GO crates fetch a couple of dollars when they are first introduced.
So yeah, saving your BP would be the smart thing to do. You'll be able to sell the new crates for a decent enough price, more than enough to buy every item from the pioneer crates I'm pretty sure.

Thanks for responses.
I might buy it now even though I may not play it right away as currently into gigantic. Do you think the price will go up after early access ends? Whats the create system you guys are talking about? Micro transactions?

Definetely install it on a SSD. On a HDD you might have issues with the buildings taking too much to load if you drop from the plane early.
Price should stay at same 30-ish USD / after release, if their plans haven't changed.
Crates for cosmetics will go Pay 2 Open eventually, like in CSGO.
SSD for sure.
You can and should go in blind. Get all the thrills and you learn game quick.
Cities or large concentrations of buildings are good sources of loot quickly, but will attract others too for that reason. Just a hint.

I've been watching PUBG streams all afternoon and was wondering what software the streamers are using for the subscription, donation and video overlays, any idea?

So I feel like I'm missing out here. Haven't played a mp game on pc in so so so long. This worth the asking price on steam?
EDIT: Fuck it I caved anyway.

Amen. I'm planning to hoard those Gamescom crates. They'll eventually fetch crazy prices.
If this type of PvP experience is right for you then it's totally worth asking price.
I have gotten over 200 hours from BG and I'm more casual when compared to some BG people on GAF.
I strongly agree
2 Chicken Dinners with my 3 man squad today! Was the last guy standing both times, in one game I wiped out an entire squad to win it (such a great feeling, such a rush!), in the other it was a 1v1 where I just had a lucky circle and the guy had to run to my position through the open.
Woo!
Woo!

Is it just me or do many of the top Twitchers on this game sound like cranky, arrogant dicks...?
This is the best Twitch game though, it has a lot of downtime when starting and moving around, so a lot of time for the streamers to talk and interact.

They have talked about adding one for soloQ and they are adding very in-depth system for rewatching your matches as spectator and being able to track play of all players that were on same server.
Just don't watch Grimmz. Sacriel, Summit and Dr. are better one options.

Help, I'm retarded. I did something to the game settings and now I can't change them (can't access the settings button). How do I reset them?

The game is completely unplayable for me today. I am getting constant network lag. I was hoping to play one last time before I go on vacation. I look forward to trying out the First-Person mode when I return, though.

Maybe I caught him on a bad moment, he was going on about it being his stream, his rules, chatters disrespecting him and such. Watched for a moment and tuned out.
I disagree. I bet I'd uninstall instantly after watching how someone shot me around the corner or some other bullshit
If his chat is behaving like total dick towards him or some specific viewer he speaks his mind, but for laaarge majority of time he is chill. He also may argue with his chat about how and/or why he died that round, but usually makes logical case from his point of view was it right or not.

Ok just tried it out. Was fun and still had zero kills. Mainly trying to get it run well. First two games i just bailed out at the start testing settings. Died very quick.
Third game was still testing settings but got 9th. Simply found some stuff and kept heading in to middle. Wasn't trying to avoid people just didnt find anyone. Then right at end with last ten a buggy slowly ran me over lol. Got a few shots off him but failed to kill.
Fun stuff.
Is this game terribly optimized right now. I can get the game running variable between 40-60 which is fine by me but it goes through moments where it shits the bed for a few seconds and is less than 1 frame a second. Then it gets better again.
Only on a 1st gen alpha (roughly 750ti, i5 and 8 gig ram).

Here is my top5 streamers, first least "crying" to bottom most "crying":

I know grimmmz is there, maybe im just lucky but I barely see him cry about anything else than campers/3rd person campers but im fine with that, his gameplay is what I want to see and its 5/5.

Figured it out - had to use a window mode launch option, then was able to change the settings.
To anyone in the same boat as me, I wouldn't recommend getting an i5 gtx 1050 laptop to play this game. It really pushes the system and the laptop heats up fast.
haha, kinda the same. I was prone, guy drives right up on me to run me over (if he saw me?) so I pop up, kill him and his car slowly drifts into my knees...ouch. I didn't die but I couldn't figure out how to loot his body from inside the vehicle so I left him

His loot box would have dropped on the ground at the exact spot he died, his ragdoll in the car is separate from that.haha, kinda the same.

Kinda loved the goofy expression of this house
Didn't love that another team dropped at the same area and I couldn't enter any houses
Haha thats the texture used for scoping super far away. Atleast it was for me...but recently it ws fixed?
