PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

midweek said:
The changes seem pretty reasonable. There are too many Uzis and Tommy Guns. Lvl 3 gear is probably a bit too abundant.
Surprised they've lowered the DMRs as they are like hens teeth already but as I'm absolute mince at ranged combat it probably won't affect me in the slightest.

tommy guns will be lowered because of the bison addition i think. 50 rounds same 9mm. not tried one yet. might try the test range see how it is.

On that point, that's one thing that I find hilarious about people moaning about not enough loot! Its half of the point of the game and the reason why it keeps everything interesting! There may be areas with slightly higher spawn densities of "stuff"....but bloody hell.....its RNG!! That's the whole point!

you'll find there's a small group of players or rather a style of player (rather than specific players!) who aren't happy unless they spawn beside the best gear, the best meds, the best weapons. these are usually the same types of player who will merrily use radar hacks and justify it to themselves that it's not a hack as it's not an aimbot/wallhack etc. we probably all know at least 1 player who fits into this category (hell, we've all probably played with 1)
 
Uninstalled it last week. Performance on Vikendi is all over the place (I tried the alt tab, making sure full screen is enabled) Which for whatever reason also resulted in worse than usual performance across all the other maps. Game play was getting stale a long with strange decisions on the loot and then throwing everyone a level 3 helmet/chest. I got a 100s and 100s of hours out of the game though.

you seem a little riled up today quango i dont know whats gone wrong but lets look at the pubg statements.

nah, you know i ain't riled.

you saying they havent crunched any data. yet they provide you with the drop rate of the guns on vikendi and whats being used also based on feedback of people wanting less smgs..which if anyone plays vikendi regular like you say you do . you would know that in literally every house is multiple uzis. too many to be precise. thats why many wanted more ars to spawn. it shows you the spawn rate and the ars used to spawn less than smgs. so its proven and fact that ars are rarer. so they are doing as asked wanted and providing more ars. based of actual gameplay data crunched collected since vikendi comes out. all the games are monitored all the data is analysed.
Click to expand...
they haven't crunched numbers, they don't need to. they create the loot tables, they know the loot spawn %'s - so they **** all data they need to crunch. they know exactly what the loot spawn rates. this isn't some dynamic feature that is affected by player interaction with the game. these are set values. so they are already known and 'crunching' them is not needed

~>Dg<~ said:
they have given it a while to collect the precise data so they can make the changes to make the map better. doing it to early wouldnt work. so theyve gone about it in the correct way.
Click to expand...
what data do they need to collect - they have an algorithm set to spawn x weapon types at y frequency. if by data you mean people crying on forums or reddit then ok fair enough.....that's not what i call crunching data though :p

as for bugs what bugs are you talking about ? ive played 3000 hrs now :eek::D . i dont see many bugs at all or crash much performance is great . most things are better than any AAA title so i dont get the bug issue myself.
Click to expand...
don't do that man, don't do that whole i've 'x' hrs in the game and i don't see any bugs - it devalues you as a person and as a player. if you've that many hours into the game and aren't aware of the bugs then you need to pay more attention or stop fibbing.......i'll cite 1 example only......smoke nades......smoke not rendering has been a thing for ages....they made multiple references to fixing it, yet it is still there. still randomly the smoke will fail to render on some players screens. that's just one there's plenty more - which i have zero doubt you do know about.

i think its too critical or too easy to say the pubg devs arent doing well. they make a great fun game bring content regular. its always popular the only real issue is cheats. rest is fine. or exceptable.
Click to expand...
i never said they weren't doing well.....i said stop making them out to be better than they are. they are patching and bandaging up the game to keep it ticking over and relevant. thye could have done so much more to improve the game by now had they wanted to. or had they actually listened or number crunched.

~>Dg<~ said:
as to roe its far too easy compared to pubg. anyone can win it even if you should lose. kills are easier. so by playing a less " skilled " game you end up being less skilled in general.
Click to expand...
i'm at a loss.....this is when i start to think you are just trying to troll me as you know i'm an easy target ;):eek::(:p
 
AS far as I can see, the folk who complain a lot about pubg... they don't actually play a lot... its like they haven't done enough to get to know the map and play accordingly, idk. Or they complain about performance, but, have they set their settings and computer up for max frame rates? Or they complain about sound... but have they set their sound up properly? Do they ever sneak around so they know how little noise you can make too? I mean if you have the patience you can move around making no sound what so ever. Mess it up and you can make a single noise that can be life or death... it is part of the excitment for me.

In other news OP.GG rankings seem to have changed and are just ranking in order of rating now, so I've dropped 3000 places and can't keep up without putting more time in, which I can't... oh well! :D
 
well like most maps takes time to optimize. sanhok was the same then got a 30-40 fps boost. what spec pc are we talking about ? cpu gpu wise ?

3 helmuts have been adjusted on vikendi same as other things. you cant get this right though without the player base testing what is the right value. which is what they have just done. so atleast now we will get a better experience.


just been and checked out the bison. my god. squad wiper. its basically like a 50 round vector :D . think they will either make it rarer or crate drop weapon after its been out a little while.

understandable - there's this false belief floating round (a la the above posts) that the dev team are working hard to improve the game and fix things. when the reality is that apart from cosmetic improvements not much has improved since day 1.

loot still randomly spawns after landing. hit reg can still be mingingly random. optimisation still needs massive work. server lag can still appear out of nowhere.
 
They have caved in to twitch streamers and pro`s as they know what is best.

(The sound is still ****) and please do not go down the "need to set it up properly" a **** soundscape is a **** soundscape.
 
well win 10 has various sound issues depending on what build you on. then you have people setting pubg sound up wrong. also what you listening on makes a huge difference.

one guy will say its broke the next can say its fine . whos right ?

sounds set up right you can hear footsteps from miles away. its easy to pinpoint shots. i dont get what the sound issues are apart from the over 4 sounds it doesnt register it. which is very rarely a issue.

The guy who moves all the way around the other guy without being heard, while the other guy stays still behind that crappy piece of cover to get shot in the back of the head by the guy who moved around him.

Or the guy who hears the faintest of footsteps and reacts accordingly.

Took me a whole day months ago when the sound didn't sound right all of a sudden to get it back to normal.... I could not play without the sound being spot on, it would drive me bonkers.
 
to hear the sounds the best possible in pubg. many alter pubg ingame. many use surround , many have speakers or headsets often cheap headsets. win 10 sound issues are quite frankly a joke. different win 10 builds can have different volumes and other sound issues. so many factors which could change what you hear.

Yea my settings were fine. I used to have pretty decent FPS with AA on high, PP medium, textures medium, everything else was set to low I think. Sharpening was turned on once they added the option also. It's just the release of Vikendi made the game a stuttering mess. FPS dropping in gun fights etc. Frustrating experience.

Also remember when FPP was released and green mentioned they were going to re-work all the animations etc. So you wouldn't feel like a midget when playing in FPP. He even added it to the 2018 road map. Not a thing has been done. Unsurprising when they had to add the #fixPubG campaign that was pretty much a failure.
 
I ended up having to reinstall windows 10 to a much older version, then use destroy windows 10 program to get rid of the fluff and stop it updating, then use no additional drivers for my logitech headphones, then follow a win 10 pubg sound guide online to mess with the playback settings a bit. Not had a problem since... honestly I think it is win 10's fault not pubg.

What cpu/gpu? Do you still have start up parameters on steam? There was a time they were needed but then things changed and it just made things worse so they needed deleting.

Yeah the sound is a really important aspect of this game and I had to mess to get mine right. Surround was enabled in windows 10, then also on the headset, so had to change both to stereo, then p!$$ around with all of the levels in the Arctis settings... now it's load better, although it's a bit weird being able to hear footsteps over 50m away, the distancing on some of the sounds is a little odd, but doesn't detract too much, you just get used to it!
