I'm having real trouble not getting frustrated with this game. Shooting a guy and seeing blood 4 times, and then having only one hit to a hand ever register? Really? This wasn't even a death ate my bullets scenario, it was just shit not registering at all

I'd be surprised if some other Battle Royale doesn't go open Beta at E3.

This is the wrong time for performance/de-sync to be an issue. I went from 140fps in the lobby/ 80-100fps in game to 40fps in the lobby/40fps in game.

Where do you go to see concurrent players on steam?

That's always been my biggest complaint with the game. Shots where I know I should have hit, but because of their crappy coding or optimization or whatever the hell it is, I end up not only not hitting them, but getting obliterated by someone else.

Similarly, I thought you weren't supposed to ever be able to be one-shot with a level 3 helmet on, but it seemed to happen pretty much 100% of the time to me. Meanwhile, I'll hit someone in the head (at least on my screen) 2-3 times with a KAR before they go down.

Hand damage is definitely destroying this game for me. Shot a guy SIX TIMES with the M4 and only did 60% damage. At 100 meters. How is that even possible

Also SMG's are fucking disgusting

Hand damage is probably the worst fucking thing in 1v1 combat. Depending on your angle you either have a mega advantage or disadvantage. Shooting some one who is aiming up at you means their hands are blocking most of their face and negating like 50% of the headshot chances. Meanwhile if you're looking down your big fucking moonpie face is ripe for owning.

SMG's are great, but I think they're pretty balanced for most maps outside of Sanhok. They go to complete shit beyond 100m and you either have major damage dropoff or bullet drop. In Miramar the chances of using a SMG are wayyyy less likely than on Sanhok or Erangel. Erangel I think currently has the perfect mix of close/medium/long range battles. Miramar is almost always building dicktouching or 300m+ snipe battles. Sanhok is 200m or less, every time. I'm fine with that. It just means I'll rarely ever use an SMG on Miramar and less likely than an AR on Erangel.

Patch Notes

Gameplay
  • Both the Lightweight Grip and Half Grip can now be attached to the Vector.
  • Some minor weapon balance adjustments:
    • First shot from the M16A4 now has less recoil.
    • Decreased the spread of shotgun pellets.
    • Shotgun chokes and duckbills are now less effective at decreasing spread (so the effective spread for a shotgun with a choke or duckbill will be similar to before)

UI/UX
  • CUSTOMIZATION > GEAR tab has been added. Go here to equip parachute skins.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where certain buildings in Miramar were shown with default textures
  • Fixed some walls in Miramar that could be partially passed through
  • Removed the white mark that appeared alongside the aircraft icon on the minimap

  • We’ve improved the holographic sight’s reticle. It’s now the same size as a character silhouette seen from 100m away
  • Certain animations on the buggy and minibus have been fixed
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused characters to sit at odd angles if entering into vehicles from a prone position on a sloped surface
  • Fixed an issue causing red dot and holo sight reticles to get smaller and blurry when swapping weapons
  • “Damage-received” sounds should no longer play after winning a game

New Crate - Aviator

  • “Damage-received” sounds should no longer play after winning a game

Probably my favorite fix for this patch. Had a game scare the bejesus out of me on the win. Last guy was changing sides around this building and shit shack long enough to just take a few hits and hide again to heal. We both had to go heal and that sound scared the fuck out of us. He apparently got bored with life and the blue zone killed him.

Just what we needed, a new crate with a new key! And a new item purchasable with cash separately!

I'm definitely not spending more money on this game unless they fix all the bullshit

So a huge dent in that is the Ninja Fortnite bubble. That shit started in January if I recall. Then, Ring of Elysium has been out in China for a while and it's TPP which Asians prefer so it'll cut into the China/Korea market for PUBG for sure.

Overall I'm not surprised. They've been just ping ponging good and bad changes non stop. As soon as they do something most deem "good" they fucking undo it (blue circle speeds) or they have some other major issue tacked onto that patch (FPS drops/stutter).

I'm with Shroud saying that this game won't ever be "perfect" or close to it until PUBG2.0 basically. Their servers are just not set up correctly for this. It's unfortunate as I think this is my favorite style of PUBG currently, but I'm waiting for a big dick company to bring out the MMORPG BR with fucking squads of wizards and rangers and tanks and healers. That shit will be awesome.

Then again, sometimes you just want to shoot people in the face.

The gamble crates are even shittier than the CSGO ones item wise, and that is saying a lot. Yay, I just spent $2.50 on an item that sells for 5 cents!

That's the whole reason they disabled trades too. When items are so rare and thus valuable, they have to be sold on a third party site because the value exceeds the sell amount limit on steam market. So they get greedy and want ALL of their % instead of increasing the drop rate to bring the value down.

It's like the fake IRS/Tech support scammers in india. They try to milk thousands out of individuals instead of saying "well if you pay $50, we'll put a note on the account and back off" I have a feeling the gullible people would pay that $50 MUCH more frequently than the thousands that they demand to "call off the arrest warrants" etc. (saw that today on Kitboga's stream) Refused to let him fake pay even $300 as an installment. flat out said "no, $2,000 or you're arrested" - Bluehole has the same stupid mindset of trying to milk high dollar amounts instead of 1) making the more rare skins appealing and 2) increasing the drop rate of the rare skins.

On the other hand. I did get the purple quality Desert scarf out of the new aviator case today. hoping that sells decently when the market lets me.
