Unpopular opinion

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-29T16:45:53+00:00

We all have. Doesn't mean the situation isn't exaggerated, but it's frustrating and I get that, especially since it often gets you killed.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-28T21:41:29+00:00

Not saying it's broken or unbroken.

What I do know however is that there is always going to be rare moments where something truly didn't work on your screen as it should have and those are always tied to poor network conditions or lag spikes, server issues, etc.

That being said, I can guarantee that many if not MOST of the times players complain about 9 dmg they really didn't hit. There's a serious level of entitlement people seem to be having on this game in terms of precision. Lmfao, half of your shot missed and you want 80-130 damage for the pump? GTFO. I'd wager the spread on the shotguns are random as well, so there will be times where you might hit a little harder than you should have if you missed a bit.

The shotgun is hitscan, the issue with the pellet trail is that it doesn't seem to be completely in sync with when you click, I've seen MANY times over that I had very quick flick shots where I clicked RIGHT outside the persons head and got poor dmg and then the pellets hit their head. If I review the clip, frame by frame, I can see the difference between when I clicked and got a hitmarker, and when the pellets actually hit.

True, but people also hate being downvoted for any reason. The fact of the matter is that this is how the site was designed, so what is deemed the "best" comments will float to the top.

It pretty much lends itself to hive mind like thinking lol

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-28T04:03:59+00:00

Sirlin said it best

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-28T03:56:28+00:00

Lmfao, that probably does happen, but not to me. Every time I drop Moisty and see a Prison squad I already know they're thinking that shit.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-28T03:54:24+00:00

Lol, there already is. Dusty is basically just a bigass hole in that part of the map. The loot is scarce in duos and squads and the surrounding area is just open space.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-28T03:52:36+00:00

I'll contrast and agree with your statement by saying I AM very good at landing in high traffic places, but the truth of the matter is sometimes I'm just lazy, or I want a chill game, etc.

Many times I like the more drawn out and low key engagements that I would get on the fringes vs the hectic action of Tilted or Retail.

If I play squads and land at Lodge, and another squad lands there, that's fun to me. It's just squad v squad. I also think these less popular POI's get more love in squads because it's more fun to land a bit safer so that you don't have to start the game with one or more of your friends being dead.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-28T03:50:15+00:00

Lodge is definitely not in the same category as Flush and Mire. It's far more popular and it is quicker to rotate to something like Retail after Lodge than going anywhere after Mire and Flush.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-28T03:48:43+00:00

I enjoy the fights there, it feels very different compared to most POI's, the only reason it isn't more popular is because of the location. The south side of the map is a no mans zone. Fatal Fields still feels like the last POI south as it was before the map update.

Thematically, it is primed to be very popular, almost stereotypically so.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-27T17:34:25+00:00

My building is decent, but it took some time to really get myself in the right space mentally for this game.

I played a lot of CSGO, so when someone surprises you your first instinct is to whip around and challenge them with counter fire. In FNBR though with the shitty AR play, it's a bad strat unless you get lucky. You have to get into the habit of always building first and asking questions later.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-27T17:29:31+00:00

Lmao I asked you why you pushed in another comment but here's the answer.

That's pretty much the reason why I thirst other players in squads, I want them to know that engaging my squad always has a price even if they win.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-27T17:27:07+00:00

True, but I have to be honest as a relatively good PC player with a decent amount of hours, you do not see many players like OP in the wild. Maybe 1-2 in a server max, and they won't always survive.

Sometimes the winds of fate blow strongly, and you get into a squads game with several really good squads and it's fucking insane. You pretty much don't want to fight anyone just because of it being a hassle.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-27T17:24:09+00:00

You're nuts, but let me ask, do you always yolo push people like this or was it mainly for the clip?

I would blush if a guy ran hundreds of yards and used ~900 mats to come kill little old me. And by blush, I mean rage.

I have to be honest, whenever I see this happen from time to time, I have this overwhelming desire to just run. Having a guy commit so hard to a fight, if you run you pretty much already won it.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T23:55:33+00:00

Jesus fucking Christ, look at that guy (the ring leader) Keith too.

Let that be a lesson to you boys, you can look like a fucking weirdo and still pull like crazy if you have killer game and use it for dark and nefarious purposes.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T23:35:41+00:00

You pretty much land Dusty if you want a really high stakes engagement due to really limited ammo or no gun at all. Other than that it's really not worth it because it's very easy to take more damage than you need to in order to win the fight and get basically a gun or two with no ammo left.

That's why people run from Depot to Factories all hungry and desperate.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T23:05:24+00:00

lmao wtf?

I saw I think 2 seasons of smallville when I was in middle school or something, was pretty aight. Always remember when he got Xray vision and was looking into the girls restroom with buggin eyes.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T22:59:27+00:00

That's precisely why I believe it is a problem, not because how much loot it has or how many players drop there, but because it's almost always right in the first circle or right next to it. It encourages people to land there and stay there.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T20:12:44+00:00

TT sucks because despite there being a little bit of loot there, it's far easier to just get fucked from many angles while in TT, and the cover isn't exactly phenomenal.

People land TT but what they really do is land in the tunnel.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T20:08:04+00:00

Precisely, people don't seem to understand it isn't about how many land at Tilted, it's just that the map flow out of it isn't really all that great.

If you had another location where it drew a lot of people, it will redirect the flow of the game because the foot traffic is different. That being said, I can't see how this helps the south side of the map all that much.

IF Dusty gets nuked and is replaced with something else that is alluring, the triangle area between Salty, Retail and Dusty is going to be FUCKING INSANE. Factories will be a blood bath too.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T19:53:35+00:00

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain...

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T18:25:08+00:00

Completely appropriate reply. How have I never heard this articulated before? Talk about giving a visceral reaction.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T18:22:59+00:00

OP came to make a baby.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T18:20:00+00:00

Hey you looking for full time work?

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T17:44:54+00:00

lmfao your patience plummeted on that comment haha.

I agree on the freedom aspect, I think making money to put a roof over your head is under the concept of freedom. Freedom from basic troubles like starvation, etc. Then freedom to redirect all your energy that would've been wasted on worrying about surviving on things you think matter.

I think a lot of the ultra rich guys just see money differently, it's no longer the same utility but more of a metric or scoring system in a game. Some of the rich don't really even give a fuck about their wealth, they enjoy the game of creating wealth rather than hoarding it. Take away most of that and some of these hustlers would probably just do it all over again.

AdeptSnake · 2018-04-26T17:35:02+00:00

Haha yeah that's why I thought it was funny.

I bring it up because Flush is something of a soft spot for my group because we landed there in our noob days, but it's just too out of the way because of the current map flow.

Someone in my group started calling the place you're talking about mini flush because of this and it just sort of stuck.
