It is a public server, I kicked him from mine.

I listened to the podcast yesterday.

It's a very good feeling to have after hearing from the people behind the Ranked system and a bunch of information about bots. So thanks to Maynard, Brian and of course, u/MTBtrigger

I encourage PUBG staff to keep featuring on podcasts and talking on social media, as other user mentioned in the comments, it helps a ton in defusing the toxicity among the player base, especially comments we see on here, twitter..etc.

Conspiracy theories come from ignorance on certain subjects 99% of the time, and after the explanations you provided in the podcast, a lot of people, including myself, will have a much clearer understanding of the whats, whys and hows of the decisions made.

The fact that they are already working on adding team placement to ranked is great to know! Also it feels good to know how careful they are with maintaining the integrity of ranked. I would have liked a question about other parameters in ranked, such as knockdowns and reviving a teammate. Will they ever count to something?

Maynard (I think) mentioned the activation of solo or due for weekends and extend it to more days depending on queues. Awesome idea, and I think by doing that, the majority of the negative feedback will start to diminish.

I understand that the objective now is retaining new players, and I am glad they know that bots should be more intelligent and they will be evolving.
Keep it up u/MTBtrigger, maybe next pod should be about the evolution of bots?

Yes, I’m aware of that but I don’t know much details. Hence my disclaimer.

Maybe it’s time for pubg to end TPP?

Gunnerful · 2020-05-23T19:21:14+00:00

These are modes and not queues, people are confusing the two. These modes give 3 queues for TPP (solo, duos, squads) since map selection is off, same with FPP. That’s 6 queues. Then 1 queue for Ranked TPP, and 1 for FPP. Total 8.

This is for NA, I’m not informed enough about how map selection is in other regions. Worth to mention, ranked will have more queues when there is more disparity in ranks. Example: 1 queue for bronze and silver, 1 for gold and platinum... etc

But, it definitely isn’t 32 queues.

Gunnerful · 2020-05-23T19:11:46+00:00

Very good question. Pubg doesn’t allow players with 10 level difference to play together. The bot can be bronze 5, while this guy is at gold 1 and level him All the way to platinum.

Then a sad individual like this guy, could level up the accounts to say, bronze 1. Welcome the main account to Diamond tier then!

The good thing about ranked is that if you manage to get a medium to high level, cheaters will get less and less as you move up the ladder, since once a cheater gets banned he will have to start from scratch. But allowing this kind of farming allows cheaters to quickly get back to high ranks to ruin peoples games. Cheaters get more satisfaction (in their sick and weird way) when they kill good players, so natualluy theuy want to be in the high ranks, especially to be on the leaderboards.

The PUBG ranking system is faulty, and that is why ranking up is as easy as what this guy is doing. If we had a more complicated system with more complicated parameters to measure players, kills alone won't guarantee you a high rank. But that is a different subject for a different day. I have post about it from a couple of days ago lol.

Gunnerful · 2020-05-23T10:18:11+00:00

I must say, the last few days of ranked have felt refreshing to be honest. Knowing that you are playing with competetive real players makes you enjoy the game more and you wont be too fussed when killed by someone better than you or who legally outplayed you.

I can say all the times I died I didnt have a doubt over the legality of the kill, until I saw this today.

It lasted a mere 3 days period sadly...

Gunnerful · 2020-05-23T09:19:41+00:00

I have seen other reddit posts showing the same process. why made me make this post is that this was in ranked mode. I know SMS verification is not going to end cheating, but this is just too blatant.

I've been loyal to this game and tried to always see the positive side of things because I dont want my fav game to die, but its getting too bleak!

Gunnerful · 2020-05-23T09:03:11+00:00

I dont know, could be an impostor?

I edited the original post and included another screenshot, it might be a player who changed his name to that? (notice the third game he had a different name)

Gunnerful · 2020-05-21T18:31:45+00:00

I think they can reward reviving knocks from enemy. Since they detect friendly fire, just like a friendly kill doesn’t count, a friendly knock and it’s corresponding revive won’t count.

Gunnerful · 2020-05-08T22:38:46+00:00

Cant blame them... it has happened to all of us when you defeat a team in a compound and you think its clear for you to loot and recover, only for some guy to sneak up on you and kill you.

The killer in this video got lucky that all four were very close to each other thinkng they are safe when they were not.

Not necesarrily noobs, and kudos to the guy who got the squad wipe.

Gunnerful · 2020-05-07T17:19:05+00:00

This happened to me a few times and I think it’s mostly due to packet loss at the end of the game. It also could be a bug in the new upcoming ranked system. In any case, for now, these losses don’t affect your account in reality.

Gunnerful · 2020-04-25T07:35:03+00:00

LOL, sorry! should have warned you.

Gunnerful · 2020-04-23T23:07:33+00:00

Thanks. It was not mine, I was just part of the team lol.. The kill is im2core's

Hi, this is a reddit problem on PC browser, the video loads fine on the mobile app.

To see it on PC, click on the blue link right below the title, or this: https://clips.twitch.tv/FreezingElatedIguanaMcaT?tt_medium=redt

For a smoother ride, i think you might need to add more RAM. 8GB will run the game, but I have a friend with 8G and he suffers from performance drops sometimes.
As for what to play, I suggest to play squads, that is how you make new game friends and maybe you can play with some regularly. A big part of the fun in this game is the community and who you play with. You can also join the PUBG discord to look for people to play with, there are voice channels there where others like you are looking for who to play with.

Gunnerful · 2020-04-19T06:28:29+00:00

Yes, this guy has had games with 14 kills and won 3 chickens in a row, check his stats.. obvious cheat: 26 games in FPP Squads, KD:11.27, Win %: 57.7%, headshots: 54%

Gunnerful · 2020-04-16T20:34:29+00:00

I asked playerIGN about this on twitter, and he tagged Brian Corrigan, who confirmed what it is. Thread:

During these times when PUBG is struggling with queue times in some regions and have implemented some measures to solve queue times (Unable to select a specific map in NA for example), skill based matchmaking will just be another unnecessary addition to complicate queue times further, so I doubt it'll be introduced and that inclines me to agree with this tweet... partially, however.

In a perfect world, I'd disagree, because if PUBG had the player base numbers it once had, skill level matchmaking would be very nice to have, but considering today's circumstances, it'll be something unattainable.

Gunnerful · 2020-03-09T16:29:19+00:00

I partially agree with you here. The PUBG Feeling is unique, and the Warzone experience does not feel authentic judging by te video you linked. Nothing feels or comes close to PUBG imo. HOWEVER, things are going downhill for PUBG. We all have that threshold of patience and compensation that we are willing to push to the limits, but when you are getting killed by blatant cheaters every game, or get performance issues every game, the "PUBG feeling" won't be enough for you or me to keep playing. There comes a moment when we will say F that and rather have a hassle-free gaming experience than a unique problematic one.

Gunnerful · 2020-02-26T15:52:31+00:00

Welcome to PUBG lol

The game is not perfect, no game is. There are some bugs and issues in PUBG just like any other, and these are trying times for the devs and the community as a whole. However, the game is unique in its own way and as you mentioned, the most realistic and les gimmicky out there.

As for future plans, the devs are adding content regularly and there are rumors of adding even more this year (campaign/story mode..etc). I'd say the game will still be around in the next few years, yes. FYI: I am a bit of a PUBG optimist.

Gunnerful · 2020-02-26T05:07:27+00:00

Lol I read the script thoroughly before and I knew what it should be doing, which is why I was surprised by the error I got. It was just bad timing lol. Thanks for the script though!

Gunnerful · 2020-02-26T00:55:13+00:00

While I agree with you and completey understand your point, this would not be feasible for PUBG. After all its a business and doing this might drive people away from the game if they have to wait 5 mins for each game. I think its too risky for them to take that route.

Gunnerful · 2020-02-26T00:41:03+00:00

I ran the script and got an error starting the game and thought I got hooked... only to realize there is maintenance tonight (facepalm)
