PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

Yeah my MMR is in the gutter because I did school/military drops for a week and a half.. RIP didn't know they were going to count. At least getting back up to speed playing standard in the trench won't be so bad... I hope. ;_;
There's a macro something something that kinda negate the recoil on the guns. There was a video posted in the thread yesterday.
I watched the youtube video already and that's PRECISELY what the spectator camera looked like for them, yet they claimed they weren't using anything.
I'm hesitant to even queue with them for fear of getting banned, lol.
Someone told me lighting was changed (the sky is brighter and distant dark building insides are darker?) which might affect things.
Also, from the patch notes, "Distance at which shadows are rendered are now synchronized across all graphics settings to ensure fair play". That might affect things.
Lastly make sure your graphics settings didn't get reset.
What was your Shadows set to before?
hey now
Low, vegetation on low as well, everything else on high. Had very consistent 60fps, but not anymore.
What the game needs is a mimic crate.
5% chance that a crate drop will actually explode in a giant fireball when the first person attempts to loot it, killing anyone within 20 meters.

Whaaat? Craziness.
Just make the mimic crate the classic mimic that's basically a giant monster trying to eat you when you attempt to open it. Suddenly it turns into a world event where everyone has to kill it and then each other to get the loot
I look forward to playing the new patch but damn, that Fortnite BR is pretty fun as well.

What magic do you think is going to happen when the game finally leaves Early Access? Do you think their patches will magically start being better tested and stop breaking things?
I can't wait til the game leaves EA to see what other excuses people cook up to defend sloppy dev-work

I guess FPP stats were being tracked all along?
Didn't realize I won 17 times already. Gotta work on getting more kills though. I spend to much time looting safely and miss out on a lot of action until the final few circles.

Not quite, Pubg reddit was saying that FPP stats started to track since the last leaderboard reset. All FPP wins, kills and so on before reset were not tracked.
First FPP win for me:
I only got one kill. I simply didn't see other players thru that fog, but whatever. It's still a victory.

Probably. But it's likely that I didn't start playing until after that reset anyways. I was just under the impression that none of it was being tracked. Nice surprise, I guess.
Also, congrats! Can't wait to try fog
Dang, how big is your mousepad? I play on default sensitivity settings with 600 dpi. I found the sweet spot by seeing if I can turn in a complete 360 circle in third person by moving my mouse in a straight line from one end of the mousepad to the other. I don't think you want to set them too low or you won't be able to react quickly when being shot from the sides and behind.

I've never understood how people can aim with such low DPI/sens. I'm using 800DPI and like 60 in-game. I aim with my wrist though, not my arm, so I do small movements.
Big movements with the arm, small with the wrist.

The improved patch QA allowed by the slowed down patch schedule
Guess you don't remember the last big patch, do you?
I'll have to look to see what my mouse's DPI is set to....I'm pretty sure it has 2 settings to choose from so you have the option to toggle it on the fly.
But I see people suggesting a lower DPI all the time. What I'm not sure I understand is, assuming you aren't going to toggle it on the fly, wouldn't it be better to leave your DPI high and then turn down the sensitivity in game?

No.
DPI setting needs to be at the native step of your mouse's sensor. It differs between models, you can check google to know it.

Someone in the sales thread said the circle is predictable. What?
So when people are saying lower DPI is better in this (type of) game, are they really saying you want a lower sensitivity? Or are they saying get a mouse with a lower DPI? Or both? I would think that higher DPI in hardware is a good thing (more precise) and then lower your sensitivity as necessary so you get the desired amount of cursor movement on screen when you move the mouse.
not that i've heard of, unless they mean that staying in the middle of the circle will mean you are likely to be in the next one or something obvious like that

High dpi means the opposite.. less precision. The more you bump up your dpi setting, the more accurate the sensor needs to be to be able to read your movements.. you'll reach a point where the sensor needs to interpolate data to be able to keep up with you. All of this without mentioning malfuncion speed, jittering, angle snapping, inputlag. All the "8000 dpi" is basically fake. The native step is the sweet spot at which the sensor is designed to work best.
"Lower dpi" because usually the native dpi step is 400 or 800 (or weird stuff like 900 for the deathadder). Well, was... last generation of sensors (the ones you'll find in gpro/g403/the new rival/the new sensei/nixeus revel and so on) is native at every step under 2000 dpi.
6/11 in windows mouse cursor speed, markc fix to be sure, native dpi step on your mouse.. and then you'll set your sensitivity in-game.
I mean the last one broke a bunch of stuff and there was a shitload of lag that made the game unplayable for a lot of people. This time... the server location resets after a match if you play solo. I'm sure you can figure it the difference in severity.
But hey, don't let me get in between you and you're edginess.
cool, thanks for the explanation.
