That's why I stopped playing it ages ago, this game is way past its peak.

Normal or ranked?
It's why I still don't hot drop even to this day, can end up just landing and dying and going back to lobby for an entire evening. Not saying you are hot dropping just using it as an example of how depressing it can be.
Don't know how anyone plays this game in squad with randomers, if I ever try it's either they all jump separate or jump somewhere like school and expect somehow to survive with no communication.
it was past it's peak 2 years ago.... Was a great game, many many hundreds of hours and great times with mates playing this, but it looks like it's barely moved on in the last 2/3 years.

It's still good you just need a good team to play with.
As mentioned above playing with randoms is awful. A good proportion of the game is the positioning of your team, also of course working together and good communication helps.
When it comes to hot dropping I'm not a fan either, for example **** dropping at Picado, but we do drop at "warm" places, just grab a gun if possible some armour and helmet, and chill. It's tempting to worry you don't have enough loot or that you need to push or force things, just chill, particularly if your playing as a team. Patience is key.

For the first time since map selection was removed we were seeing majority of players as bots from 8 p.m. last night. 60 bots and 30 odd real players in each duo match.
Soldato
I'm guessing that's a mix of player base declining and not many play duos. You don't see many in standard unless it's like 6am.
Soldato
Bots aren't really noticable. I still love the game and the new Vikendi looks amazing, just had a particularly rough patch last night.
To say the game isn't moving on is grossly unfair. Their new map Deston had some pretty cool new features and the game is just as fun as it ever was....mostly!
Their esports scene is also really polished new, albeit with some questionable format issues.

2 and 3 bots in my two matches ~8pm last night. Likely just bad luck for you.

Do you guys prefer PUBG in third person mode or first person mode? Personally I think the game is actually quite alright in FPP, there is too much camping and third person peaking in TPP for my liking. I do see a lot of bots sometimes but it isn't always every game.
Soldato
FPP always
Unless I'm feeling evil and none of my mates are around I'll go play casual mode. To be fair most of the time I do that I'll take a pistol and a motor glider and see many many I can knock whilst flying around, it's good fun.

Solos do still seem bot free.
The problem with TPP is that players hide behind something or go prone and just spam the camera to find other players. It feels terribly unfair to die to someone who just pops out and shoots you like that.
There tend to be too many players alive for to the final circles too.

New Vikendi looks awesome! Lots of streamers being very positive about it right now.
I'm beginning to come to the conclusion though, that Taego is just a very "nothing-y" sort of map. Its all a bit featureless and samey compared to something like Deston. Never really loved the map when it came out and haven't really warmed to it. It could do with taking out of rotation and having some character added to it.

Yes, can't wait for Vikendi! I hope they put it as a seperate map selection for the first few weeks at least, like they did Deston.
Agree about Taego, especially the north-west island part. Still enjoy it, but could do with a little refresh.

The new Vikendi is very very different, I'd just consider it a new map.

I'm not a fan. Too big, too open and not enough cover or vehicles.
Soldato
Same, we are not having good games so far.
Soldato
Man it's pretty awful, maybe we just need to get used to it.
But seems you land on a compound, if you get an early engagement, by the time it's done the zone is coming, and then you have to run down the road for 5 minutes trying to find a car, by the time you drive all the way to zone, no meds, already phase 3 and all compounds occupied.
Also getting ghost footstep sounds.
The map lacks vehicles for its size and if you look a lot of areas are featureless rolling hills and not much else.
We got a couple of chicken dinners in the end but most of the games were not great, the comeback arena is rubbish as well, literally just luck if you spawn near a good gun.
Played some regular maps as well and better games, one Teago win, we got heading towards 20 kills, I got 7.
Shame was looking forward to Vikendi being back but this isn't Vikendi.

Are the zones quicker on the new vikendi?
Soldato
I'm not sure, it feels like it, the map is so large now you can easily end up miles out of the zone, needs more cars badly if they are going to make it that big.
Soldato
Played 5 games tonight and whilst not particularly high in kills all the games were fun and very action packed. Absolutely love the map but aside from some key features its basically a brand new map.
Big thumbs up from me. Thumbs down for removing Deston though. Time for big map queue and small map queue and take Taego out to give it some sort of character as its a bit bland.
