Imitating reality isn't the same as being constrained by it. Just because something is real doesn't mean it's fun. That has to be kept in mind always! Many of these things are specific design choices to support the gameplay in the best way possible.

1) There are a whole host of things that affect how character motion feels. We are looking to address some of this in the upcoming Animation Refresh, but we have to be careful to not impact game pacing and balance. PUBG's slower, tactical pace is a specific design choice that animation needs to support.

2) I'm not sure I know what you mean about lunging off roof tops. Are you looking for a way to get away from the building faster? A wingsuit could certainly do the trick. Something to think about for sure!

Thanks for the feedback!

The animations refresh is being polished right now. More info coming soon!

They're being polished right now. You should being hearing more about them very soon.

We've seen this feedback a few times. Thanks for the thoughts.

I think flying a glider around this map could be super fun, definitely something to look into!

Barclift! This area doesn't get a ton of heat right away usually and has some hot loot if you're lucky enough to find a keycard while you're there.

Weapon balance is a big interconnected web. Every change impacts the whole web. Knee jerk updates are usually a bad idea. Appreciate the feedback, though!

What weapons would you want to use at the same time?

My first thought is that that changes the feel of our gunplay in a very significant way. PUBG has never been an action movie, it's tactical and grounded. I think a case could be made for dual wielding pistols, but not much else without having a significant impact on weapon balance and game feel.

The new car is on it's way, coming very very soon.

Weapon balance is always being looked at and tweaked. We look at this kind of thing very closely all the time!

Right now the slugs only work with the O12. This was done on purpose to give the O12 a unique playstyle relative to other shotguns. Swapping slugs into a DBS, for example, would change that weapon significantly. I'm not sure I'd ever take that trade off on a DBS, but maybe that's just me.

Hey! This is always foremost in our mind when making a new way for the player to move, like the Ascender. Like most things, playtesting is what helps us dial it in. Our typical proces goes like this:

- Make rough animations and get them in game so the feature can be tested. We'll use other existing features as benchmarks for timings on this first pass

- Play the things, a lot! All the while we will either be crafting new animations or finishing off the temp ones that are safe to finish

- Game dev is highly iterative, there are plenty of times when the timing and speed of something has to change. Sometimes the animation can be adjusted, sometimes it needs to be redone. Repeat this until it feels good to play!

Hey! The new animations are being polished as we speak. I can't speak to a specific drop date, other than to say they are nearly final and coming soon! I'm excited for the community to get their hands on them.

As far as other things in the hopper, we have a new vehicle and weapon coming to Deston in the next drop. We've been having a lot of fun with these two in playtests.

On the clothing front, I can't speak to how many people are involved on the modeling side, they have a solid team but I'm not sure how big it is off of the top of my head. From an animation standpoint, everything is built to a standard so that it works with existing motions. Most of the longer, flowing cloth is a dynamic simulation .

Thanks for the question!
