My question: Do you have any plans on adding the Ascender to Erangel and Miramar later on?

There are some building that could use that mechanic on big cities, like the big buildings north of El Pozo, which currently cannot be accessed (unless you use a Glider or emergency pickup)

With that being said, my real question is: With a Deston-ation like Ripton and it's size, how much discussion goes into where that city is placed on the map? For example, I initially thought Ripton would be best placed smack dab in the middle, so players are more likely in the first zone and ultimately have more time to explore, loot, zipline and fight. But on the other hand, I'm guessing you don't want TOO many people to land there because then the rest of the map would feel empty. Love hearing insight into decisions like this. Cheers and congrats on a GREAT map.

Great question, and something u/PUBG_NickK can likely answer better than I can. But we initially were thinking exactly like you mention in the later part of the question, "how can we design this with a BUNCH of favorite locations in it?" Having a non-central "Main" city is part of that, with speckling in minor cities and unique points of interests along major routes - Concert, Lodge, Arena, Barclift, etc

u/PUBG_Chris, when you create terrain, do you look at each and every part of the map in order to think through possible situations that might occur? For example I noticed that a lot of the coastline has an edge to it that provides for really good cover instead of just running a flat-out beach instead. Is this conscious? How detailed do you have to be in insuring that the environment optimizes for interesting plays?

u/PUBG_Caleb - when do you plan to release the new animations? And are there any other plans apart from the occasional mo-capped dances?

Also, the clothes in this game are super impressive and moves really well with the character, so I'm wondering how many people are involved with modelling and texturing these? Will the new animations create difficulty with regards to their behaviour? That team needs a big shoutout!

Best regards, Densterr - PC.

Hey PUBG Dev Team. The community has been LOVING Deston so far, you all did a fantastic job thank you! My in-game name is CDome and I play on PC.

Now for some Q&As, Pick your favorite!

1) Are we more or less likely to get a new revive system to try out for Deston & other PUBG maps?

2) The airboats have been AWESOME, but unfortunately they're usefulness is limited given the hard controls and lack of cover. Have you entertained making them more viable/fast on grass and adding some defensive measures (armor plates on side or gun turret on front)?

3) Always-On Parachutes have been GAME changing and probably should be on EVERY map. Having said that, one thing really holding it back is the lack of player momentum when you sprint/run/ and jump off the building. It feels like you float straight down for 10 seconds before you can go forward again which really limits your movement potential. Any plans to enhance this?

4) When designing the city Ripton, did you entertain destructible buildings like on Karakin?

5) When "flooding" the map, was more emphasis put into water play, underground play at first? I was anticipating a bit of the Karakin tunnels/underground city vibe from the trailers.

6) Do we have a rain and/or night mode planned for Deston?

7) Now that we have 4 Large 8x8 maps, how do you plan to manage map selection/rotation per region?

8) The new Workshop so far has been VERY refreshing and a fun way for new and old players to really "grind" to unlock new skins. This is a stark contrast to the lackluster and predatory implementation of hideout/contraband. What sort of changes/updates are in store for both the Workshop and Hideout/Progressive Skins.

9) On the topic of skins/rewarding players, what are the plans for enabling more ways for players to earn a proper amount of BP. Will there be non-season pass challenges that players can complete, bonus BP on chicken dinners, etc?

10) The Origins shotgun has been a BLAST to use specifically in burst/full auto mode. My question is really about single-fire on this gun as it's relatively pointless. The main purpose of a 'slug' is to improve accuracy at range and make it more versatile for close and mid, yet the weapon is nerfed with only accepting a red dot and holo. I understand internal play-testing was done to precursor this but it would be very nice to see a 3x-4x scope + canted sight allowance on this weapon. Otherwise, I fear the DBS/Pump will still be the more 'consistent' shotgun of choice.

11) Currently, the secret security rooms provide a VERY powerful way to get you and your team kitted with lvl3 gear and weapons FAST in Deston. While I absolutely love this feature, it can be a bit hard to overcome if you weren't lucky enough to find a card. As a counter to this, have you thought about adding a security siren that can be heard from ~50m away alerting nearby teams that someone has just opened a security room (gaining access to said gear) etc. This would increase the risk/reward aspect of this very powerful feature.

12) In terms of map drops, I'm loving almost all of the POIs. They are very unique and usually pretty well looted and fun areas to fight in. However, I was very hopeful for another fun 'island' drop and Windfarm doesn't seem to deliver. It feels a bit bland in terms of building options and rotation potential. Personally, I would love to see a nice row of 3-4 story condominiums on the coast-side giving a more "focal point" to drop on windfarm and an area to contest. This would also be very realistic in terms of the gulf-coast where it is littered with condo's across the coast line for vacations and not just single family homes. Any hopes of some updates here?

13) Well, 13 isn't an actual question. Just my thanks to the entire team for their hard work on this fantastic map. I really enjoyed Taego upon release but honestly, Deston has been 10x more fun for me. So many more possibilities of exploration and engagements that it really keeps things fresh. Enjoy your success on the new release and we'll see you on the Battlegrounds!

Are you aware that the game uses a damaging audio dynamic range?

A very compressed dynamic range make it sound overall flat, thats the reason why a ample dynamic range is desired, but a very ample dynamic range is damaging, meaning that the volume required for hearing the softer sounds implies a too big volume when sudden loud sounds appear. This is the problem. We need a more compressed dynamic range to solve this.

https://starkeypro.com/pdfs/The_Compression_Handbook.pdf

Some other shooter games have explicit dynamic range options. Some other have an option to select between speakers or headphones, that implicity change the dynamic range.

Are you willing to improve in this matter?

Due to PUBG having a very ample dynamic range, lots of people use external tools to force the compression of the range. What are your thoughts on this?

I posted about this some time ago with a poll: https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/mn4nfn/poll_what_do_you_think_of_sound_volume_in_pubg/

Greetings from India, PUBG devs. Having an absolute blast on Deston and the map was surely worth all the wait.

Coming to the question- Haven came out in 2020 December and I couldn't help but notice that some buildings on Deston look similar to the ones on Haven. The large warehouses in Assembly looks like an upgraded version of the ones in Steel Mills from Haven.

Also Haven was PUBG's first take on a Urban style map. Was Haven a test bed for Deston? Secondly, why is Deston called 'The Fallen City'?

Originally posted by ASJ_sapphics

Compared to the other existing maps, Deston is one of the first that feels like it truly immerses you in the world (in my opinion), thanks to thoughtful and realistic level/environment design and a large variety of terrain and building types. Even despite that variety, the map still performs impressively well in terms of FPS, even in dense areas like Ripton. Were there any issues that arose with regards to balancing the map's variety with game performance, or any significant compromises that had to be made?

Unrelated: The airboat is tons of fun to drive on water, though has a few minor oddities like not being able to use handguns as the driver and not having either a horn or radio. Are those things we can hope to see added to airboats, and are airboats themselves something we can hope to see added to maps other than Deston? It would also be nice to see a few more water-based connections on the map, such as between the swamp and the map's central river, to make airboats a little more useful when rotating (rather than having to choose between going all the way around the coast, trying futilely to take the airboat across land, or just switching to a land vehicle instead).

To the whole team, great work on Deston! It shows why it was a map so long in development.

My couple of questions: ( pick freely which you want to answer )

1) Which Area of Deston has undergone the most rework/focus? All areas look to have been through a lot of discussions and work. I am wondering which one took the crown of focus? ( If the answer is Ripton, please tell us what the runner up was )

2) Why are the working windmill's blade 'virtual'? Would have been amazing if they actually cut your parachute and/or even influence your parachuting cause of the wind

3) This Survival Pass looks very nice! Sadly, due to adding the boxes, Belgium & Netherlands can't purchase these. Was this considered when setting them up? Will future season passes have the same content and thus making it impossible for me to get that content? Or will you be setting up maybe alternative versions for the pass?

4) The map feels slightly off balance ( emptiness feeling/vehicle spawn/....) Is the plan that the upcoming content will balance this out, or is this something else that might be looked at?

5) As person who spends probably more time in Custom Games, trying out community modes / testing, I am wondering why some very simple improvements are not done, which would give communities so much content & excitement.
(ex: Save more then 10 presets, have a slider for Vehicle/Tire damage Off, Spawn 200 vehicles instead of the 100 limit, ... )

6) Any plans ( and if so, please give a small teaser statement!) about what comes AFTER Deston? Kiki was mentioned almost a year and half ago. The next chapter in PUBG is ...

Keep up the work! Hope you enjoyed creating Deston

One of The biggest criticism facing pubg these days is that the animation is sluggish and floaty.

Have you guys ever had some sort of plan like this? What were the issues you ran into implementing them? Was it just too much for the engine to handle? Thanks!

Or increase that limit to 500, to somehow allow veteran players to continue to explicitly see their progress in the game.

Also are there are plans in motion to nerf the new gun? its seems too good it can be used as all gun types ranges dmr,ar,shotgun, feels too flexible and with high dmg, I think maybe it would be better suited as a drop weapon.

Few more questions about Deston:

- What's up with the addiction of that 1 single Cow? Every house has 4+ pictures of it, it feel a bit like a cult...

- Was there something you wanted to add to the map that eventually got scrapped?

- Are there are easter eggs / secrets you have not yet seen been discovered?

- Were / are the reactions to Deston from the players what you expected?

- Is there an idea to make the mono rail operational? I feel the Train setup would work a lot better on Deston then on Vikendi

Hello, new player here,

Do you guys intent to add more weathers to the Deston? The map is very good and I think it would be even more fun.

Could you guys please add a solo queue in FPP mode?

Great game, I'm having a lot of fun.

Hey Guys,

Is there any plans on having a day/night cycle in the game? We currently have different weather patterns but would love to see it also cycle through morning, afternoon and night. Would make it even more realistic in my opinion, especially when the game can take up to 30min to end. Thanks

I'm Brazilian and I've been following the PUBG scene since the Beta version of the Game,

1-I would like to know from the developers what was the source of inspiration for the creation of Deston and how many people were committed to the realization of this project that managed to revolutionize the gameplay of PUBG?

2-Is there any possibility that with the arrival of DESTON the game will become Multi-platform and have the union of Console and PC?

This map seems to include a lot of fun features from the battle royale genre; zip lines, parachutes, multi-level combat, new vehicles and hidden loot spots. Were there any features you wanted to add but didn't? What were they and how would they have altered the map from what it is now?

this question is for Chris Hartmann what inspiration did you have to make the terrain in Deston and has their been any real problems in creating the map because it seems like all the new little things that have been added seemed to affect in a little way the map is being created and will their be a rain and night version if you do that im not sure but thanks for answering if you do!

The show is amazing, the houses, underground places, flooded cities, it was really good. Just need more cars scattered around the map and emergency balloon, will it be added in the future?
