As it is I have zero confidence in Bluehole being able to fix any of it because it always comes back after a "fix has been made." It's a shame because for like 48 hours after a major patch the game is really fun. But even though the game is still in a beta state the company is moving on to an esports focus with micro transactions and the game is not even close to being finished and probably never will. It's classic deja vu... We really don't have an answer for the pitfalls of the game so it's time to just grab as much cash as possible.

For me its a little like finding out the chick you have been dating is a hooker on the side.

You still have feelings for her but now you know shes dirty~

From what I understand it is just for clothing, cosmetic type appearance. I don't really care about cosmetic stuff anyway.

Absolutely.

I'm not going to participate in it, as its the ONLY way you will be able to get cosmetic upgrades. It was stated that you will never be able to unlock cosmetics without paying. No more free loot boxes.

But the community as a whole looks at it as money grubbing, underhanded, and the playerbase will end up suffering for it. Part of the reason is the system itself, and the other part is that they said they would not do that. As it was, PU was kind of looked on as a 'good guy' in a sea of shitty anti-player business practices. That is gone~

Again, its not going to affect my game play because I wont let it. At the same time its bad because there are hundreds of thousands of people that arent going to play because of it, or just poison the community with constant harping on the subject.

In the end its a business~

eh, i dont care about charging for cosmetics. As long as you dont get shit that helps you in game, then go ahead and make as muich money as you can, people love to play dress up barbie and will fork out million for skins. As a business, you would be stupid not to do it.

What's not to believe? The screenshot is there. Bluehole is run by the most incompetent crew of administrators I've ever seen.

Just look at the bans posted on reddit. A dude got banned for 3 days for killing a random that was placed by auto matching after he had already intentionally killed his 2 teammates.

Now the new controversy is a dude getting banned for 7 days because he killed a streamer and they cried stream sniper. That's legitimately something that can't be proven unless the dude flat out admits it in text. The most hilarious part is that I don't even think the streamers actually reported him.

And the whole time PU is over there just nodding along as his community managers tweet out shit like "Don't want to get banned? Turn off automatching."

It's a complete shit show.

I doubt these Korean execs are banning people. Its PU and friends~

I haven't tried to play this in well over a month... Last time I tried was after a big update that implemented some network lag desync mechanism and it became unplayable for me. Constantly freezing. **** em.

They have the servers as good as they have ever been. Its a non-issue at the moment.

I tried it out again tonight... same issue. "Network Lag Detected" and I get frozen...

Ever since the really big update where they tried to stop people from using "lag switches," as if that's an actual problem in most online gaming situations... it's been a problem for me.

It's either spend about $300 on a dd-wrt router in hopes that my issue lies in bufferbloat, or say **** PUBG... so atm I'm pretty much waving the flag on PUBG.

Have you tried deleting the install and re-installing? I was having issues after the previous update with desyncs... After doing that, i've not had an issue since.

I also got google fiber installed since then as well, so that probably has something to do with it, too.

everyone i have been playing with has been getting that really bad. we quit playing lastnight, because it was so bad. Everyone was warping all over the place. You get a few good games in, but at times, it was really bad.

I havent played much since the reset but there was a game not too long ago that had network lag until the server finally shut down. First time I've seen that happen, usually it's only for a few seconds back to back and then good for the rest of the game.

I have my doubts they'll ever truly fix the desync and lag issues. Played a bit of first person and after maybe a day it was back to the door open door closed door open no wait it's closed.

Speaking of first person, damn it needs work. Feel like they should have tested it for more than a couple days. I feel like a midget. Walk up to a table and it feels like my nose is barely clearing the top of it. Then you are running while holding your weapon under your chin. And when you stop a movement it feels like there's a delay, like a lunge forward or something for a fraction of a second after stopping.

Oh... and get rid of the ****ing 3 seat motorcycle. That thing is pure ****ing aids. I actually believe its like that movie Christine and the ****ing thing has a mind of its own and does whatever the hell it wants.
