Playerunknown's : Battlegrounds

Falthyron

I'm back into Top 1000 in FPP Squad EU. The struggles continues...

Gonna start uploading some of my better stuff on to YouTube now that I have the Nvidia Geforce Experience software working correctly and the replay system within PUBG.

There's a flick in the second video too. The replay system is flawed, there's a surprise.

It seems like only a few instructions are saved. Something like a shot from you and a landing location with corresponding time stamps. The x/y movement isn't strictly adhered to inbetween these events. Makes it look like an aimbot at times like above.

Not one, but two new crates! :pac:

Took them longer than I expected.

At least one is free. Surprised that they show the drop rates, but that is a requirement in China, so seeing as they don't have diff versions it makes sense. Drop rates for free crates are lol though

And more keys to buy.
Christ they definitely intend to suck as much cash out of this as much as possible.

I'm obviously missing something here , I paid €22 for the game and that's it , it hasn't cost me anything else .

The micro-transactions in this are even more innocuous than Overwatch's

Do you know why there’s so many hackers in this game?
It’s because you can sell the items on the steam marketplace. Some of these kits are selling for €600-900 in the steam market. I know the money stays in your wallet but I imagine there’s a way around it.
If bluehole were serious about combatting hacking they’d remove the game items from steam marketplace and keep it strictly in game and only using in game currency earned from playing games.
The level of hackers would significantly drop then.

Ahhh, I get you now . Hack , win, get more points , buy more crates , increase chance of getting high value item, sell it on steam and even if you are caught afterwards you have already gotten away with the loot ( no pun intended ) . You'll have to excuse us older guys for not picking up on things that weren't an issue in our day .... jumpers for goalposts an all that .

I should have thought of it really though as my son has already sold a single loot item for €187 and used that money to buy other games on steam .

It’s something I was completely unaware of too upto 2-3 months ago

That's probably a sign you are getting old 😂

I don't think the hacking and the items correlate too much. There are lots of hackers, because Chinese people enjoy cheating. Bot farms are how the BP is harvested, and that is a totally different approach. Essentially a bot account will drop into the map and crawl towards the circle placing as high as possible without actually engaging anybody or doing anything. This mainly happens in solo as it has the greatest BP return for placing in the top 10.

I really don't think people are cheating purely to make money off the game. Better off getting a minimum wage job.

Haha you laugh, but I've seen it loads of times in replays! Some guy managed to come second before crawling in a straight line to the circle

Eventually got a nice run going tonight.
Got a silencer of one of the two guys I killed for my AR and Sniper which gave me a huge advantage toards the end. You really see the flash of the guns firing.
Got lucky at the end with the last guy to win it..its one of the reasons I always have a few smoke grenades with me.

So there are new crates , Desperado and Biker . If you get a Desperado Crate you need a Key to unlock it ..........a key that you have to buy !

Wtf is that about ?

Welcome to the world of loot boxes and micro transactions

Mickeroo

I made 7 euro selling the crates, can't complain.

Got some Squad FPP up now. Going for a high numbered rank now! Excuse the **** talking though!

So I went ahead and bought a key, I know, but I would have been awake all night wondering ....

Cost me two quid and I got an item that's currently selling for €18 so........... there's that


Was also thinking after about the cheating to get more crates and I hadn't factored in the fact that you can only get 7 in a week so that must surely help to limit it .

awec

You can't sell the item you get from the crate for like 7 days so I wouldn't be surprised if it's worth hardly anything by then.
