Soldato
I found this screenshot from when I was arguing with PUBG customer service, More on that later!
I'd been playing PUBG pretty much since release, and after they released seasons, I would always end up with around 2000 SP at the end of the season,
Come season 5 I had 2000 SP around half way through the season, I had yet to get an in game parachute skin at all, not even the halloween one, so I thought meh, screw this this, I'm going for gold, like, I only had 4000 SP to go to reach the top rank in season 5 to get the white spider parachute skin .easy, right?
I'd been driving more than ever to and fro my long distance girlfriend before I made this decision.
It eventually became apparent that there was no way I was going to make it to 6k SP relying on teaming up with randoms, as I needed to get SP points in every single match if I was going to make it, so I decided to queue up as a duo, and just play the match as a solo player, I was pretty damn good, so I could handle myself like this, I had super low ping and playing solo in duos, it was just the only way it was possible, sometimes my alloted duo partner caught me up to help me win the match, but most often I'd just make it to the top 10 to snag some points on my own, which was not really any different to droping in with my usual IRL friend to do duos with, who generally I'd get the first 2k SP with
So, for the rest of the season, like 3 weeks, I was totally glued to my PC grinding out 6k SP for that damn 'chute, skin
eventually I made it, which felt amazing, yay!( what a rush)
except the next day I had a stroke!
Little did I know that I'd never get, nor even equip it ,
If only I'd have made it for 2 days to the end of the season instead, then I'd've collected the rewards, and been able to play at least one match, with a mega awesome parachute skin, but no, massive stroke was my destiny instead!
So then, as some of you know, I spent 6 months spread between hospital, and a rehabilitation home
After getting out of the care home, I was looking forward to turning my computer on, and at least collecting my 'chute, and clothes skins for being a 6k SP survivour, but *nothing* happened I'd waited too long to pick up the rewards it seemed ( what a let down!)
I did try to talk to PUBG CS about this, but they were not having any of it, and did not give me my rewards even tough in game stats clearly show that I was a season 5 survivour
and here is the proof:
Moral of the story?
don't stick with a long distance relationship, quit it and find someone closer, even if you have a child with them, ( I did,)
Along with this, if you are going to be glued to a PC, then take the time to walk around every now and then, to keep your blood from pooling in your legs, same with if you are doing any long distance driving, take stops, and walk around
definitely have your cholesterol checked too, and get on statins if you need them, when I was taken into hospital, they found my cholestrol was sky high, and immediately I was put on statins, along with blood thinners
while I was away, I did not get any better, losing the left hand side of my body, so I had to face that I was never going to play another computer game that needed my left hand!( I play chess now.)
But while I was away PUBG also introduced being able to use your parachute again, and again, base jump style, so I would have got a lot of use out of that skin, striking fear into other player's hearts out there
It just wasn't meant to be
So, look after yourselves out there,
Please.
