PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

[jas72]

OK, so after the plane has cleared the map you will see a white circle.
After the countdown on the bottom right of the screen you will see a blue circle slowly retract to the white circle.
If you are outside the blue circle you will take damage. The damage isn't a single hit, it chips away over time spent outside of the blue.
Once the blue circle reaches the white, it will stay still, and a new, smaller white circle will be generated somewhere inside the blue circle.
Again, a countdown until the blue circle contracts.
Eventually all remaining players are forced into a small geographical area, therefore eliminating long term camping or a stand off.

Also, the first time the circle contracts, the damage taken for being outside is minor. Each time the circle contracts the damage taken outside the blue is greater.

thanks for this Chris great help.

I'll give it another go.

I ignored the blue circle but didnt seem to take any damage that I could see? Perhaps it only counts from the 2nd white circle?

Tried last night I got killed by someone I couldn't see with a machine gun. haha

Get in to the discord group and play a few duo/squad games. You'll soon get the hang of it.

Anyone up for some squad games tonight? I've been hovering around the discord channel a couple of evenings this week but no-one else seems to join. Add me on steam: adz160 I'll be on around 8:30/9pm. Almost had my first chicken dinner last night, had the guy in my sights but I only had a uzi and i was not close enough to kill him. Crawling closer to him and he turns around and kills me

There's been at least 2 squads for the past few days mate . Post a message up and I'm sure someone will have a space or be in the same position waiting .

There's a PUBG text chat room, and 5 voice channels (limited to 4 people at a time, so if you find you can't join one, that'll be why).

Alwys people about, and even if people aren't playing, stick a message in the text room that you're looking for a game and more often than not someone will come on.

Dont think anyone in that channel has it . Well at least to my knowledge.

Least you're in the right place now .

Eurgh,

So i've bought it. I'm getting ready for such an infuriating experience

I wouldn't say infuriating, mostly disappointing, with sporadic episodes of excitement. It's addictive, but has serious flaws.

I still can't work out why you can't see over the low grass while in prone??? Bizarre.

 

[Buckster]

its not infuriating - its fun fun fun - with a dash of infuriating

can't believe I'm over 30 hours in and still enjoying it as much as the first round

getting more gameplay time out of this than I did with BF1 !

Not really that bizzare if you think about it.

If you could see over/through it easily it would encourage people to lay in the grass and simply not move, especially in the final stages of a game.
While camping is a necessity in the game there have to be some mechanics at play to force players to move or it would risk becoming a bore fest.

been away 3 weeks, EU servers are just as bad as they were when I left, really disappointing, back to NA it is.

Fine for me majority of the time.

BTW its currently £19.99 on cdkeys, plus an extra 5% off with the FB code.

Mate I've had hitreg and lag issues with the EU server since day one, NA always seems better for me and its obvious the lag difference, emptying half a mag into someone and all of a sudden youre dead and they walk off.

Without a gylli suit on, in any other game, I can see a guy laying in the low grass in the middle of a lawn.... And I simply shoot him. Im not talking about the fields here or the farms, in about grass!!!! The normal grass!!! So a guy is standing up 10 feet in front of me and can see me in the grass... But I can't shoot back because my 'tard' excuse the use of the word character aims with his face on the ground. So instead you have to get up to return fire. It's ridiculous at best. Try it, you will get my gist. Any normal grassy area.

Just had a solo win where the guy died outside the very final circle. It was a stale mate for ages. That moving blue line moves quick and chunks serious health. Thank god for the boosters.
