it shouldn't be so loud that players want to do that, yeah :)

Hey all, I just spoke to the creative team (who actually had already seen this post and were discussing it) and the videos should be ingame with a reduction in volume compared to the original.

This is either not working as intended, or may need to have the volume reduced further. The team is following up on this as we speak.

I know this has been an issue in past videos as well (last season we reduced the volume on live ASAP a week after release). Sorry!

You could get banned for doing that :D

It shouldn't come to players wanting to do that, but if they do, no you of course won't be banned for it

What is there to discuss? These are extremely obvious issues the developers did not foresee, and unsurprisingly made it through all the non-existent QA and playtesting procedures exclusive to this shitty game developer and all the way through to live builds. Because the developers lack foresight.

If you had wanted to dispute any of my claims or lokifenrir96's claims then we'd have a discussion. If you brought up some insider knowledge from the developers explaining why something just couldn't possibly be done on time or couldn't possibly have been foreseen (lmao) then we'd have a discussion.

But reading you say "yeah you guys are right that's an example of us lacking foresight and yeah you guys are right that's another example of us lacking foresight and yeah you guys are right that's another example of us lacking foresight [..]" isn't a discussion.

If you could elaborate on the pro player point which you raised, and I disputed, that would be appreciated.

If I find it is a fault of ours I will make sure it's heard by the relevant team.

I mean I knew you didn't know what 'foresight' means from your very first response to the comment but I was half expecting you to at least look it up when I put it in bold twice.

Having good foresight means you foresee problems before they materialize and take measures to rectify them.

What you're outlining first for lokifenrir96, and now for me, is that yes, the PUBG developers lack basic foresight. Seemingly because you don't know what foresight is. You're just proving our points and like I said if you want to play the game you have to bring up new examples, not just expand on other people's good examples proving the PUBG developers lack foresight.

If someone says you lack foresight because you were driving straight towards a massive oak tree and made no effort to stop or change course it is no good as a response to wake up at the hospital and say you are now aware of the oak tree. That's hindsight. No one was claiming the PUBG develope...

I understand the word foresight, but thank you for the clarification.

I just thought you may be interested in discussing the points you raised further, my mistake. :)

PUBG Devs consistently lack foresight

the PUBG devs consistently lack foresight whenever they implement something new

Admittedly they weren't there initially for the first release, but they have been added after.

Mate you're playing the game all wrong. You're supposed to bring up more things that demonstrate that the PUBG developers' lack foresight:

  • Coding the game in such a way that a gun's rate of fire is dictated by client-side FPS

  • Adding in-transit healing which may be canceled by vehicle movement and the cancel key on the healing is the same as the one for exiting the vehicle and can thereby unpredictably turn into a suicide button

  • Requiring professional players to rename their accounts without providing the ability to--nor preemptively deciding to--reserve their old names causing them to be impersonated by r...

Coding the game in such a way that a gun's rate of fire is dictated by client-side FPS

This is pretty common in a lot of games, but we fixed this in PUBG over a year ago. https://www.pubg.com/en-us/2019/02/20/test-server-update-26/

Adding in-transit healing which may be canceled by vehicle movement.

This was an intentional balance consideration when we first introduced healing in vehicles, but you're right, we should look at changing this now that players can move and heal. F to suicide is an issue, for sure.

Requiring professional players to rename their accounts without providing the a...

The White Ghillie is quite useless since most areas are either brown grass or dark buildings. White stands out too much.

Fair point, thanks taking the time to share your thoughts :)

Spike Traps and Sitcky Bombs both have their own bindings in the settings. Admittedly they weren't there initially for the first release, but they have been added after.

There are still snow covered areas on Vikendi, and other variants of the Ghillie are still available.

Do you think we should remove the white Ghillie entirely?

How about allowing trading only if you have 2FA with a mobile number attached? Has to be a contracted mobile number and can't be a burner SIM card.

Not sure if that's possible technically with the way Steam API works, but it's something we can look into. I like the idea!

Info about the Trade Ban you talked about ?

I spoke to the team about this and there are no plans to bring back trading. The temporary removal should now be seen as permanent, as we were unable to find a solution to the issues mentioned in the original announcement.

The main issues mentioned in the original post mostly hold strong still to this day, with additional issues of the impact to players who have their account compromised and items stolen. While the account is often recovered, it's less common to get items recovered.

This is something I'm going to discuss with the team further, especially as we look to enable 2 factor auth with SMS in the near future, but the expectation should be that it will not return.

Can you tell us if any of the optimizations for lower a specced PCs mentioned in the letter will be on the live server tomorrow? Or if there is any sort of ETA on those improvements?

Some went live April 9 and we plan to keep introducing more incremental improvements, although can't speak of an ETA right now!

I'm sure you've all got many more questions on some of the details we touched upon in the letter, so please drop them here and I'll do my best to answer!

HAHAHAHA I've listened to this like 7 times already, that laugh easily makes up for the gameplay.

Seeing similar reports on other platforms - could you please send me through your IGN and the match ID of the game you crashed in?

Wow, he got too many reports in short amount of time that's why his account was flagged and temporary banned.

BTW. He was unbanned after 5 minutes, normal player would stay banned for 24 hours.

That’s a valid call out – I’m obviously in a position where I can directly talk to my anti-cheat colleagues and get them to investigate my account.

We also do this multiple times a day for any threads we see or direct messages we receive about false bans, so feel free to reach out to me directly (twitter/discord) if you do receive a temporary ban and I can hopefully get it investigated before it expires.

Players using NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 445.75 are advised to apply the 445.78 hotfix to resolve an issue related to crashing or failure to launch PUBG.

Alternatively, you can disable Image Sharpening in the NVIDIA control panel to stop the crashing as well.

We're looking at this at the moment and I've DM'd you both for some more information that we're after.
