PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

Indeed, if I decide to bother playing again then I'll collect up all my BP to drop on the new crates.

Also, lol at just changing the report tool and not attempting to actually combat the cheating

A video starring our best bud Kobethan. I've queued up my death which on first look seems ok but I was slightly suspicious that he just happened to stumble across me, then Locky died and he said straight away said he had been botted. I then watched our deaths from KobeThan's POV needless to say I have reported him.

Annoyingly, I got 2 or 3 bullets in him before he went down. If I'd aimed head I guess I could have got him. I think Lock3h's death was through a wall too...
 
ive been wanting more crates for ages.surprised it took so long. realize thats more money for us from just playing ! the game that keeps on giving :D

the funny thing is now some of the real expensive stuff is either going to drop like a rock in bitcoin town or stay steady.
 
Of course you would jump in to defend it.

They should have got the foundation right before adding cosmetics, new map and an xbox version. I'm frustrated that I've paid money for this, want to play it, but it's a mess that offers more frustrated than enjoyment.

Whilst I can understand this, Microsoft probably threw silly money at PUBG Corp for the exclusivity and they've since benefited from information that led to optimisations we have been experiencing since 1.0.
I definitely think the new map is a bit of rushed effort, but then again the community was crying out for a new map as people were starting to get bored of Erangel.

Regarding cosmetics, there'll be a team dedicated to this and there's unlikely to be any big hurdles for them.
The teams for anti-cheat, server/game optimisations is likely much much larger but due to the nature of the tasks at hand will take much longer to combat.

It's not exactly like they're seeing all this feedback regarding cheating and saying nahhh have some skins instead. Easier for me to say this however playing FPP, no idea how people are persisting with TPP as it is.

im not defending it i am saying i wanted new crates.nothing wrong with that.also if you understand game development.you would know different people or teams work on different things.people working on crates arent dealing with issues you probably wat sorting.so makes no difference.

games fine apart from cheating.which depending on what server location you play on and your ranking how often you probably see them.play eu and less than 1700 overall rating you wont see than much.look at the company . look at the people behind it.this isnt a nickle and dime thing.its big.they will do something ( hopefully) they have other titles linked with pubg so it makes no sense not to correct or stop many cheating or making the game better for future projects or sales.
 
I get that, but it's still time and resources spent on something that isn't all that important, it's a cash grab.

Benefitted from microsoft's information on optimisations? I honestly couldn't disagree more, the first part of your statement is 100% correct though, they got silly money thrown at them. Xbox exclusive titles are dire in comparison to ps4, so they saw this as a way to potentially regain some market share.

UE engine is very powerful and not all that complex in comparison to many engines available, they had a massive influx of cash, they should have got some proper project leads in to fix much of this. It's not a complex game, it doesnt have many of the challenges that are facing developers, there is no excuse for it being in the sorry state that it is.

And DG I do understand game development thanks, it's still company resources being used and integrated in the game, it all comes back to this being poorly managed.

The odd lag/cheat free game thats fun doesn't make up the hours wasted being hacked or teleported away from a gun or putting 5 shotgun rounds into someones face only to be panned from across the room...etc...

The change to the sea has already been implemented, which will have been a contributor to the better FPS on Erangel now.

I'm sure I read they learned other tips which led to greater optimisations too.

of course it's a cash grab. not defending them here but this is what companies have to do. they have to keep making money. just because they have already made a bucket load doesn't mean they can just stop making money. it would be very naïve of you to think this is the case and that they should cease any and all activities that continue to make them money.

you may understand game development but you don't understand the business side of things. as above, they can't just cease the money making side of things. so the simple stuff like loot crates might seem like a waste of time they are irrelevant to the on going development and improvement to the game. this isn't like DayZ where they are wasting their time adding in game item pickups like new hats and crap. the loot crates should be viewed as a totally separate thing to the actual game development.

re the lag. it has improved exponentially since the 1.0 release. if you are still experience game breaking lag in game I'd try ruling out other factors, i.e. isp, hardware etc. (btw I'm not saying the game is completely lag free, of course it isn't but it certainly isn't game breaking anymore)

cheaters, well yea, they are just ******* the whole damn thing up to be honest. i'll still say they need to ring fence asia and put ping blocks in place to stop server switch over. of the definite cheaters I've come across, a very very high % of them had Chinese names or profiles.

I know, I've seen that too, it's nothing but a fluff piece, if the optimisation/.contribution from microsoft was so amazing, why is the xbox one fps dropping to 11?

So because I criticise this game, I don't understand development and I don't understand business and apparently don't understand how to setup a pc because the lag couldn't possibly the games fault.... alright then, that's good to know.

I don't hate the game, i'd love it work properly but I will tell you what I don't understand, why so many people defend the course taken by them, it could/should be sooooo much better, it's got it's offical release now but it's still a beta, at best.
 
Although we do well in FPP, I hate how low down the view is. Feels like your eyes are at belly button level. Looting is a pain in FPP, no strafing glances into a room.

I wish there was a hybrid view mode, where it's TPP when the map starts, then when there's 30 remaining, it switches to FPP for all players. This would help ramp up the intensity.

@llamadal

Whilst, I love this game, best game of 2017 for me, it is also horrible :D, I agree with all of the issues you list. Horribly optimised, still feels like an alpha.

BF1 is silky smooth and looks decades newer in terms of gameplay mechanics and graphics.
 
Whole communities sprouting up around PUBG cheating, like it in itself is a new sport!


RIP PUBG.
