Good stuff. Whats the difference you found between the PC and Xbox community?

PC community is far better in terms of skill, but that's understandable considering the control tools and greater time played.

What I will say is that when I joined random squads on PC, there was about a 1/4 chance I'd get teammates who killed me to troll me. On Xbox, I've had nothing but helpful teammates and no trolling in random squads. (not counting the lack of mic)

Of course, this is an online game and individual user experience will vary, but that's just been my experience so far.

Weapons feel way better and performance is up to a point where I don't get a headache within 10-15 min of playing. Feel like I can finally start putting time in.

Biggest hopes for the next patch are some fixes to HDR (or just a toggle) and some serious improvements to the servers.

Yes of course, PC players are more skilled due to more playing time + aiming the a mouse is more comfortable in a shooter than a controller
Good to hear that you didn't experience any trolls while going random. I'm thinking of trying PUBG on PC wanna see how it looks after it left Early Access

Jumpscares when you're shot at and or killed in this game. Thought I'd be used to it by now lol

I have struggled so much to down people after this last patch and I can't figure out why. Of the last 20 games I've played, I've died without a kill in about 18 of them. I've had so many people dead to rights that have turned around and put one in my face. I really don't know how to fix this.

I've been ranked in the top 200, so I'm not complete garbage and I was getting about 2 to 4 kills a game before.

What tips do you guys have? Single shot only? Aim for headshots only?

I just had another where the guy didn't move, had him lined up in the upper chest with the 416 I got about 6 shots of before he shot back and he put me down. Even using the pubgdmgstats.com it should've only taken 4-5 shots to the chest. I've turned my recording back on, maybe that will give some more insight.

Is there bullet spread in this game, even when you are ADS? As in the bullet may not go where the reticle is pointed?

Man I like to get run over by a chicken shit driver when it's just me and the last guy in the final circle.

You have to be really fucking pathetic to do this shit over and over and over again.

This place is deaaaad today. What aiming tips do you guys have. My crap streak continues. I'll say that before the patch I would aim for the upper chest and shoot short bursts. I don't feel that working anymore, even if someone is facing the opposite direction and I get a few shots in them before they turn around. Literally the only success I've had to is spraying with the mac11.

argh I thought I finally had it but the game fucked me. It was down to the last 2 and I had the high-ground on a hill with a scope and then the circle moves so the guy shooting at me in the woods gets to stay in cover and I'm forced into an open field. gutted.

First match of the night and just won my first chicken dinner. Holy shit. Talk about getting the adrenaline pumping. This game is so damn intense there's nothing like it. Well, Fortnite, but that game (while still a blast and can get intense) doesn't match the level of this game. This damn game man.

BTW I also participated on a tournament and it was very intense on the first round 3 members of our team including me died on the first 5 minutes because thanks to one of our teammates we landed on a bad spot but right after that I immediately went to help and couch our last teammate after a few minutes the other 2 came to help as well, after surviving everything he ended up on third place which put our team on the first place, we started to scream like crazy, on the second round I decided where to land and loot and we finished on the 6th place of the match and second tied in the tournament you have no idea how much fun I had :D

BONUS PICS P.S I'm right next to the guy with the Overwatch hat ;)

I have the most bizarrely incredible luck with returning to games after crashes.

Not only have I always still been alive after reconnecting, but half the time I come back and I've somehow made my way into the circle.

Ended up winning my first solo match last night. Pretty good match, final circle had no vehicles and the last few people besides myself were overly nervous since it was an open field. I had the better vantage point and came up behind each person and offed them quickly.

One weird thing is we had a squad match where two of my teammates had game crashes constantly. Like they would rejoin and get another crash within fifteen seconds. Happened to each of them nearly ten times before ultimately each one had bad luck with the direction they were heading upon disconnect.

Nevermind, won again and got my BP. That makes 3 wins for 15 games and a Top 10 rating of 60%, which is pretty good imo. I'm really enjoying it, if they get it more stable then I might stick with the console version tbh.

The crashes are crazy this patch, have they acknowledged it anywhere yet?

Yeah it's super frustrating having to force close the game and hope that you can reload it in time to not be killed or too far into the bluezone. Happened to me about 3 times now. Also had a game where no car or buggy would go above 30mph, appeared to affect everyone in the match,

Crashed 3 out of 8 games tonight. Really liking the reduced reciol was put in some work with the 4x. Hopefully we get a patch soon for the dissconnects.

Had some fun tonight! Had just about the easiest squad dinner ever.. Final circle ended up about 100m from where we dropped in. Managed to loot the School and stay put. Only 2 people made it to our spot at the end and we offed them quickly. I didn't even fire a shot!

In squads with some friends, all four of us land down in the Shooting Range and 3 of the 4 of us (including myself) lag out as we hit the ground.

By the time we all got back in all but 1 of us had died (surprisingly not the one who didn't lag out, but not my point).

The crashing sucked but was manageable at first, but after the last wave of patches it's happening almost every game for me and it's ruining my experience (sometimes more than once in the same game, which is even worse).

Just got gifted the game on PC, hoping this isn't as big of an issue there.

This game is just amazing. Never been so tense in a game as I was in that final 2-5. You really just need to play it to understand why it's so addictive.

Also I must have some super special copy of the game or my Scorpio is 1 of a kind, because I'm yet to have a single freeze, crash, or big glitch. Frame rate has been pretty damn stable apart from the odd instance in a big town here and there.

Any news on when we're getting the desert map? I watched a livestream this morning and its way better. The building variation is better and seems more realistic/natural. Rather than carbon copies.

That's a nice package right there. I like the controller
So does health drop quicker as the safe zone gets smaller?
Yeah, don't worry about the first one if you're far from the play zone. Worry when the circle gets smaller

I haven't had a single kill since the update. I'm going back to fortnite for a while. Good game but the skill level is too high for me, and it's no fun feeling like your the worse player out there.

Just had a game where I instantly landed in a car, drove way out of the way and away from the plane path only to have a guy with a shotgun waiting for me in the first building I entered.. :-/

With a game like this, sometimes it is best to just step away for a little bit.

I'm in the other boat myself. Before the patch, I wasn't getting many kills, but now I'm getting 5-6 a game almost. In solos as well. The aiming seems pretty great to me now whereas before I had to compensate a bit more than now.
