PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

Had some serious lag last night for the first time. Also sick of not seeing people that lay in the grass till it’s too late. It’s a bit OP in my opinion and unrealistic. Fair enough the long grass in the farmers fields, but short-ish grass would flatten and reveal you.

Yea lag was a bit pants last night, switched to the test servers and was much better.
 
Hmmm some interesting games. But when the last few circles (say last 20 players) are about to come in, I always seem to go too soon and get shot in the back, but if I hadn't gone then the circle would've outpaced me.

What to do?

Cowering in/around a building but scouting around to see if it's safe to move while the timer's ticking down?

it's a bit of luck as much as skill. you could be in the best vantage point in the game and some other sod could quietly mosey up beside you and put a bullet in your head, or 8x scope you from a mile away. remembering the planes trajectory and working in from the edge of the circle furthest from that trajectory is my usual strategy as it in theory will limit the number of players likely to be behind you. I put a tree or rock to my back with the bluezone behind that, and keep scanning using free look for folk coming out of it or it front of me.

that would be a brilliant addition to the game, grass being flattened by people walking/prone/tire treads.
 
So close to my first solo chicken dinner, got myself down the the last 5 and the circle just kept going away from me :( managed to keep pushing and take a couple out, but eventually got my head taken off by someone with a M24 who was just chilling in the circle as it drew everyone to him :(

Yeah I find working in with the curve of the circle works well, time permitting ofcourse!

Yeah definitely works - problem is if you find yourself on the far edge of the blue circle (furthest from white) - pretty much need a vehicle to get to the new circle in time (except near the end) or to get going well before it starts to close in. But that's what I love about this game. EVERY round is massively different to the last one (except when I get 3 rounds in a row where I think I'm jumping out of the plane on my own, to the middle of nowhere and some other ****er has the same idea and gets to a weapon first. Or punches me to death by some miracle).

That said, there are also some rounds where I've been fists vs a shotgun and managed to land a couple of blows and kill them, even if they shot me once or twice and I was down to < 10% HP. Went onto win that round. That was probably my proudest moment.

Or last night where I was just hiding on a roof and someone turned up in a buggy and hid behind a rock. I had a molotov so I lobbed it roughly in his direction (couldn't see where I was throwing because of the wall I was hiding behind) and it landed right on his face, and as he ran to cower behind a nearby tree, I stood up and shot him twice, both hit, and he died. Turned out he had nothing of value on him, but I cackled at his demise. Think that's the only time I haven't set myself on fire with one of those things.

Aside from the crappy hit chance on EU servers, I ADORE this game! It's like all the best moments of DayZ playing with Marker and co, intense-wise... but without the stupid zombies and ages and ages gearing up ready to be able to engage someone.

I can't wait for new maps to learn. I think the weapon balance is pretty spot on... except when I lose. And I need to stop being in 3rd person hoping to hit someone as I spray 'n' pray because that pretty much never works.

The only thing I'd wish they'd change is if you're stood in a building, with bars on the windows and you have someone in your sights/scope - and you hit the damn frame.... you can get a shot out of the window past the bars if you stick your face right up against them, but it's soooooo annoying.
 
It's all luck in the end. Whether youre in the right spot, whether the other person has to move first... Roll the dice. However, some of the streamers seen to have amazing connections completely free of lag. I'm suspicious.
 
Just got this game. Cannot play at all. Freezes as soon as I land from the plan. Tried all setting on lowest and ultra to see if any difference. Latest nvidia drivers.
