Very much a Solo Play thing. Playing Duos and Squads, it rarely, if ever, happens. I like your idea of disabling them inside the final circles.

The way I understand it is every one of the squares on the mini map is 100 meters. All guns are dialed in at 100 meters by default. This means that if you are sizing up a headshot at somebody 20 meters away, you will want to aim a bit lower or your shot will go over their head. So if you are aiming at someone 300 meters away and want your site to still be centered, you would adjust to 300 meters on your scope.
After getting run over in the final circle 3 times in a row...well, I joined the party. I was trying to disable his vehicle, didnt work out for me as my dude wouldnt exit the fucking vehicle!

I feel your pain. The same thing happened to my squad a few days ago. 30 players left, but our loot was amazing. 2 snipers, full loaded m4s, all level 3 helmets and vests.....
It hurts....
For scopes that are 8 times and up you zero by pressing up and down on the Dpad (Nowhere explains this at all, I looked for days). Normal zeroing starts at 100 which means thats the scope accounting for that distance, or, one square on your mini map. If you up the zeroing (200,300,400, 500) thats how many meters youre telling your scope to account for, and if you set it correctly you no longer have to aim higher to account for distance because you set the scope to account for that for you, meaning its much easier to snipe.
Why does the framerate go to complete shit when you engage in combat, hopefully the patch coming this coming week will help!!

Sometimes you just gotta let them hug it out before you sneak in from the other side... Mwahaha

Lol. Just had a squad game with friends where my buddy got stuck in a wall then fell to his death. So we start friendly killing each other to get into a new match. We end up fighting 1v1 and a buggy comes along..
We couldn't stop laughing.

I have such a hard time judging where shots come from. When I get hit or hear a ricochet, I go into panic mode.
Oh I see. Just a PC player but playing with Xbox one controller, but I occasionally check in here. I play TPP myself.
Here are the patch notes.

Hopefully getting better, bit by bit.
Servers were really bad for me tonight. Bouncing all over the place.

Aim acceleration can now be adjusted by players via in-game option
Player weapon damage has been increased against vehicles.
These are big imo. Aim acceleration is the main reason I can't hit anything in a pressured situation.
Wonder by how much they increased the damage? Before it took 1,5 extended mag to blow up a car. If you only need 1 extended mag now I can see the final circle carmageddon being a thing of the past.

Nah, doing laps around the final circles was way too OP and if someone shot at you the rest would shoot at them.
Oh for fuck sake. They ruining this freaking game.
That would have balanced itself out over time, just like on PC, no need to change anything. It's completely normal that in a social media world like this, people try the best ways out to win, even if it's a dirty tactic, people try to exploit stuff, specially when it spreads around the internet, but like all trends it would die without any help when people get behind how to counter it or if the hype around this tactic dies.
These shit changes to please the casual masses could kill this freaking thing one day.
First laser like recoil and now this. Let's hope they don't explode too fast.
When I drive down a street and someone can get me explode from the side even if I drive full speed, I'm done with this game.

Same. It seems they have already gone too far with vehicle damage. Was playing last night and every time I got in a vehicle I would get blown up or all 4 tires shot out. while I was speeding.
Im curious what the best aiming options are right now.
Scoping sensitivity on 3 felt good but was damn slow and just a detour to make it better. Maybe now we finally can change some acceleration, make scoping higher and it still feels good?

Been setting all sensitivity options to 6 and my aim is a whole lot better. Got my first chicken dinner as well 3 days ago. Me and my friend have stopped overthinking things now and just have fun wherever we go and whatever we do. I simply love this game. (I play on x1x)
Nice little changes, was getting lots of crashes on the Original Xbox One and some now and then on the X
Now it's time to try the new acceleration settings and see if the aim feels better when the game gets chaotic.
What do they mean with more fps on server and client? Is that another way to say they tried to smoother the game stability when in the crowded areas?

Is aim acceleration the speed at which you aim when aiming down sights?
Also, how is everyone adjusting their settings? Is that just an Elite controller thing?

And everyone says you should turn it off completely.
Tried that but can't decide which sensitivity I use now. 3 was perfect before and now 8-10 feels what I had before but that can't be right, can't decide.
Tried aim acceleration on 10 just for shits and giggle and Jesus is that fast, having everything on 3 feels like on 10 before the patch. :D

Won my second game yesterday. The final few areas included a little lake so I just hid underwater and surfaced when I had to. By the time I was forced into land there were only 5 people left.
I'm surprised more people don't stick to the water as a tactic. Boats are easy to come by.

It's a good change though. Especially for solos. :D

No, it's unnecessary. They didn't understand what the real problem was here.
If I'm in a vehicle I can consistently get into the top 3, it's almost a cheat code unless the final circles are on a mountain or between buildings. Last two times I attempted this strategy I finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. The downside is that my position is known unless there's some major cover around or I have smoke grenades, hence the last time I got in 3rd I got grenade'd just as I left the vehicle basically. If you have the right vehicle and play it smart, you can do top 10s easily, so something had to be done. Of course cars don't have to get death traps, they shouldn't go down with 3 bullets, but the current meta vas not viable with the current balancing.
I'm more concerned about the shooting feeling more and more inconsistent as weeks go by. In early matches I never had issues racking up a couple kills almost every match, of course players weren't as skilled as they are now but either way I'm usually attacking targets only if I'm positive I can get the upper hand, and even then I often fail. Not long ago a guy was crawling in the grass facing away from me, I walk behind him and shoot him half a round of assault rifle from close up, he has the time to turn around and kill me. I'm good enough at FPS and TPS games to know that's not normal. Compare this to the first days when I could down anyone with a couple shots and I wonder what the hell happened.

I know that the vehicle changes do seem too drastic, but they do have the counter the current meta, it's not like its irreversible.
i agree the biggest issue with shooting cars is how difficult it is to track, so as aiming gets better, cars can be buffed again, and if it's dialed up too far, it seems they are completely open to changing things, I could see them buffing it back in a few weeks/month

On your first point re vehicles...you sort of make the argument. They are useless for many final circles. And the huge disadvantage they had is your position is known. I get that early in the game's life on xbox you had 3 vehicles in every last 10 circle. But now you get one at most and the driver almost always departs the vehicle. Because people can aim now. :)
As for point two I totally agree. I've had the same problem. I know the armour is a variable but still. I've shot someone twice point blank range with a shotgun and they've survived then killed me with an UZI. I've also had times where I've used a shotty at a longer range and its killed them dead. There is a lot of inconsistency (I think its netcode myself) and for a game like this it needs sorting. Because my current tactic is to avoid gunfights unless absolutely necessary, simply because that is a more predictable tactic. The gunfights feel incredibly random right now. And like you I've enough FPS experience to know it isn't simply my own ineptitude, most of the time.
You are in the minority.
This a needed change until they can implement something better.

I'm doing the same, on my first match ever I killed 3 dudes, nowadays I usually finish my matches with 0, 1, or 2 kills at most, and many of those are people I run over, lol. I practically never attempt firefights anymore unless it's an absolute necessity, if I'm not 100% confident I can win it and the opponent didn't see me I won't even shoot. I get it, there's no aim assist, but I've got a long experience with FPS and TPS games on both PC and consoles, and while I'm no xXxMLG_quickscopezxXX I am a good enough player to understand that my aiming is mostly not the issue when I can't kill a dude with 4 shots of choke'd shotgun point blank. Turn back to the first 2 days when I scored 2 chicken dinners in solo where I downed the last guy with a couple bullets each time. Right now I have issues killing people laying in the grass 20m from me, and that's how I won in the first days too so I don't know what's up. I tried different controllers, different screens (input lag and all), different connections but firefights seem to be a matter of chance right now, and it's not something I want to risk anymore when I'm in the top 10.
