I still think the nade changes are stupid. The actual aiming is much improved but having to press R to cook it seems annoying .

I keep bloody under arm throwing, panic ensues.

I'd like to add that crates should always be attempted at reaching if possible ! The guns inside are massively O/P and will win you matches very easily if you have a good aim ! The sniper AWM is a monster ! Will always knock someone down with 1 shot in the head ! team mate runs to save him ! Boom hes dead as well ! 2 easy kills and you repeat this process , hide in a field in a bush and no one knows where you are, some of my best games have been from looting the drops ! to many people try and play this game safe..... get stuck in and win by killing everyone , its a lot more rewarding when you win with 10 Kills and not just 1 or 2....

Totally agree . Me and a buddy playing last night and camped a drop using the AWM and a SKS with suppressors and killed 3 entire 4 man teams trying to get a drop . Was funny watching them from such a distance running around not knowing were the shots came from.

YES YES YES to the audio balancing !!

i hope they do remove post processing and DOF just the worst thing in any game.

audio balancing is so important the amount of time I hear a vehicle for a split second and then when I try to find the sound its gone

Daytrader · 21 Sep 2017 at 10:22

Yes, they need to fix the 5.1 surround sound also in game.

The loot missing thing is client side but I haven't found anyone with a good answer for it. It just seems random.

Also looks like the latest update has finally added in some base of server/client checking if players are legitimate.

V_R · 21 Sep 2017 at 10:42

What makes you think its client side? From what I've read it seems its down to server lag, like when doors misbehave etc. I'm not sure either way tbh, but either way its seems pretty random. I do find it happens more on games that have that bit of lag at the beginning..

I've seen a lot of discussion on Reddit about it, a couple being these...

Guys, on the main screen, to have people invite you, should block be shown or invite, im thinking it is block.

~>Dg<~ · 21 Sep 2017 at 11:12

guns do definitely appear sometimes after you walked by a area and then go back.whether is serverside or not who knows.sometimes you do see stuff just appear.

wins last night knocked my total upto 55 wins so far

I'm just basing off a couple of times where friends can see loot but I cannot. Only reason I'm not convinced it's server lag is after reading those posts on reddit I took the time to check pings and packet loss to servers when it happened I had no change compared to previous matches of ping or packet loss spikes (I am making the assumption if my connection to the server is without issue then any lag within the server itself should affect everyone simultaneously). I'm not a game developer by any stretch of the words so I could well be mistaken.

Thing is I have tried this game on a pcie ssd so I'm not hugely convinced it's client side solely but generally when something you can see but friends can't I would assume to be a client side bug.

(I was a bit too authoritative in the previous post. I'm tired sorry, pretty sure I was supposed to write a "probably" in that post

)

It does seem a bit weird but I've always got a white box next to friends list. You would expect it to be a checkbox to block invites rather than the button. With the button you expect the current text to impliment when you click it.

Yeh it is confusing.

Ah fair enough then. Sounds like it could well be a bit of both, which wouldn't really surprise me if I'm honest.

Haha no worries, I didn't think it came across that way at all.

Was having a wee look at the stats. Your squad has a pretty damn good 3rd person rank stats but you have almost 200 games on Asian servers lol. Come home to EU DG

V_R · 21 Sep 2017 at 11:40

3rd person. Check
Asia servers. Check.

Easy mode confirmed.

McBain · 21 Sep 2017 at 11:41

Looking at those AMA questions, not sure I understand the blue zone question around it being no disadvantage camping it.... surely it killing you is a disadvantage? :confused:

If you have the meds there isn't much of a disadvantage tbh, the first 3 circles do very minor damage and allow you to loot for a long time.
Then you just hop into a car/bike, stop maybe 50 metres outside the blue circle, heal and sneak in. By then it's top 20 at most.

For the first few circles it doesn't do that much damage to you (if you have a first aid kit it's no problem at all), so it's easy to creep in through the blue zone behind those in the playing circle.

I think that for the first few circles, it should start moving earlier but at a slower pace (forcing you to move but not necessarily in a vehicle) dealing a bit more damage, and whilst you're in the blue zone your view into the playing area should also be affected; perhaps blurred or double vision.

Mynight · 21 Sep 2017 at 11:51

I still think the circle should act as a wall heavily obscure vision both in and out of it.

Between camping the edge for stragglers or camping in the blue I'm not sure what's more annoying.

haha one thing i have noticed is it used to be asia worst then NA but things are changing eu is getting easier but asia better.me and mates think its cause a lot of asia players are going euro/na now and many euro go asia cause was easier.

some weird things you notice when playing different region servers is school for eg.

on asia they dont tend to go there much.go euro everyone drops there same as na but for some reason asia dont.they tend to camp longer in buildings than all out attack.

i play where ever anyone else plays. some play asia i did a live twitch stream with some guys never played with last night on euro won 2 nd game with them.euro isnt much better than asia now.as i put above.
