PUBG - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Dev Tracker

First off, good start of 2022! A few short questions, hope you get around to them. (Tried to not repeat questions already asked )

Q1: are you intending to keep this up for 2022? Or are we back into a long 'slumber party' period?

Q2: would a change of communication approach be considered? Staying quiet for 6 months then dropping: delay for 6 more, is not something that goes well. How about monthly Dev Blogs again? Or W.I.P. communications? ( Alex Dev's tweet of today is good example of improved approach!)

Q3: any plans to change/improve PUBG's to interact with communities. ( Pleas don't say Partners, cause most of them are extremely negative or are only out for themselves) EX: You introduced Racing mode to Partners only, who barely host events, cause they are focused on streaming. Give community a bigger voice/interaction, as that's where your playerbase lives...

Q4: Do yourself see PUBG:BG still going strong in 2 years? Or do you believe at that tim...

First a few comments. ~3k hours here, and I took most of 2021 off. PC.

1. The onboarding system for new players seems to be really well done. The revamped training mode and addition of the AI training rounds are very welcome.
2. I'm hopeful for enough of the new influx of players to stick around to keep the queues healthy. North America has been slim pickings from time to time.
3. Quality of life improvements such as action queuing are very much appreciated.

Questions

1. Performance has come a long way over time. It's also been interesting to see how far the dev team has come since the original version of Erangel. There are some incredible views and areas that are downright divine that put me in a happy place. I like to get "lost" in the brush sometimes and really put myself there while I hunt other players. On that note, what further optimizations are on the way? Can we expect Nvidia technologies such as Reflex, RTX, and DLS...

im curious , why Krafton does not go after some of the more obvious groups providing cheats and take them to court and sue them as activison is doing ? It would seem that you all are aware of at least some of them , why not try to sue them . Win a few court battles worth millions and i bet it would really make people think twice about trying to spend time making cheats to sell as much.

Hello, is there a possibility that in the map rotation they will ever remove the sanhok map? It really is something that bothers me, since before it became Free to play, 8 out of 10 games I entered that map, which made me go out to the lobby and wait 2 or 3 minutes to start another game. The truth is that now it is easier for games to come out, always 10 seconds or less, which is appreciated, but I really hate sanhok, they give it a priority that is in my opinion unnecessary, it is not even played in tournaments, they could take it out just like that in the same rotation they take out for example: vikendi.

I can't understand why sanhok is always there and they never take it out.

PS: Sorry for my bad English, I used the translator.

Hey guys

Any idea when we can expect to hear or see more info/gameplay of the new 8x8 map KIKI?

I’m anxious to see the actual map and POI, super hyped for another big map. Maybe you can share some details on it? 🙏

I played every version of PUBG (Mobile/PC/Stadia) without Console . I literally love this battle royale with 4 years. But you need more changes and things in PUBG for future . Please make more better performance and playable for every pc. I think your team make do well everything in future cause I still well satisfied.

Thank you for the AMA.

Are we able to expect new weapons alongside the new map Kiki?

Will they be map exclusive or on all maps?

can’t wait to play it!

Regarding Kiki, what kinds of features can we expect to see pulled in from 2020's experimental maps? Should we expect to see it receiving regular updates after launch, like Taego? What aspect of the map are you most proud of? Any ETA on more information being released?

Unrelatedly, do you know if there have been any kills with drone packages in public matches yet, if you have the statistics to hand? Seems like one of the hardest ways to kill someone; I'm curious if it's been pulled off at all yet.

Hey Dave & Team! 👋🏻

Some of the most asked questions I found:

Will we be seeing a movement feature or update, particularly rolling or sliding?

Graphics engine update coming?

Map selection for regions with high player counts?

PUBG Streamer Store (for streamer skins)

More iterations of a “bring-back” mechanic, such as defibrillators on all maps? Super People implemented this very well.

Permanent bot mode and zero bots in normal games?

And lastly, my personal question: What are the plans for Player progression, weapon progression, etc. With many new players joining, I fear they have nothing to "grind" for except for mastery level 500 and the same 20 charms...Would love to hear more on this and especially, an overhaul to the current contraband loot crate system. The shear cost and mass duplicates of "low-level" skins that players can get is very discouraging and doesn't promote more play.
I think a GREAT change to...

You are just agreeing with what the question asker pointed out. Could you please give us some information about whether or not you are planning on making any changes to map queues based on region or if you as a dev team have no plans at all to change map queues.

Hi Dave and Linn, I just want to pick your brain a little and ask why you think PuBG is so much more popular in Asia at the moment. And what are some things you could implement to win back some of the players in NA\western regions in the future.

Hey! I'm a big PUBG fan, playing for 3 years already. Glad to see Creative Director & Senior Producer open for a discussion.

As we all know PUBG online is decreasing, the game is fading and I'm sad about it. The developers have taken a course towards monetization by increasing the number of skins in the store (and I can understand it), but this does not attract new players and does not make old ones to play more.

As a gamer, I lack motivation to have the same gameplay every day. Land, loot, survive. Every day is routine.

But there are at least two reasons that could make me spend dozens of hours weekly. Both are already implemented in the game! Why are they gone now?

#1 is Skins. Skins for playing, not for paying. In the past, there was a great opportunity of getting rare skins by completing hard, time-consuming challenges. It motivated gamers to play more and more. Moreover, it could be a partly-paid skin set. Let's say, a player ca...

Casual mode is a great way to bring new players into the game. It's allowed me to bring people into the game that have either been away for a long time or are new. Have you considered removing the red zone from casual? It's really frustrating for new players to die to a red zone, particularly when they are limited to three casual matches per day. And as a follow up, have you considered allowing more than three casual matches per day? (PC)

Any chance to implement a requesting feature for missing attachments/scopes similar to Apex Legends (i.e. ping an empty attachment spot to "say" you still need it). This would help comms in randoms. Thanks for the continuous updates. (PC)

(XBOX - xAUXx Monster) Any plans to introduce something else as a reward for a chicken dinner besides just BP?? Maybe something along the lines of a crate for winning a chicken dinner whether it be a already existing BP crate or new one?? Thank you!

Hey Dave. Many polls here in the forum indicate that Sanhok is one of the most unpopular maps. What does your internal data show? Is there a possibility that the map rotation for season 16 will take place without Sanhok?
