So its come out on Steam early access 23rd March 2017 (VERY SOON! :D :D :D)

Anyone here that's going to purchase/play this game?

I highly doubt there will be any South African servers but I guess when the game gets released for further modding a version that will suit a smaller player base such as South Africa's will be created thus making local servers viable. (pure speculation)

I'd like to see other people's thoughts on this game.
 
Havnt heard of this til now.
Looks good,but I'd prefer a finished product.Early access bites
 
I had my eye on it for a while now and i'm very excited.
Will be playing on Thursday. :thumb sup:

Very true...DayZ SA was the first and only game I ever got pre-release/early access, utter let down by their development team but this game has surpassed it in a 1/3 of its time in development. This definitely won't be another DayZ, but I do understand, especially if you're one of the 3million that bought DayZ...

Check out some of JackFrags' videos, most of his opinions on the game seem to be good.

VERY excited :D
 
This looks pretty awesome, wonder how the ping will be! Anyone getting it in 9hrs?

I probably will. Ping will be a mess though I'm sure, 200+. Just like every game we get these days.
 
H1Z1 wasn't too bad, and apparantly this one's netcode is better? Or so I've read.
 
I'll probably get it.Been watching a lot of vids.
Price point would be R390?
 
ive been following this for a while now but sadly i missed the test phase to play it ... all these games are similar . I will def be getting this .
 
R319 on steam. Sadly cant give it a spin tonight...Telkom giving me a hiding:(
 
I pre ordered during CBT, if anyone is keen for some duo's PUBattlegrounds pop me a pm for a steam invite.
 
can we get a list of names for players here ? then we can set up teams for duo's ? getting my copy tonight
 
Played it till 3am last night 😂 game is so good. All the servers were perfect and no crashes. This game had a better launch than any AAA title this year IMO. You don't notice the ping since you lead your shots anyway.

You play with Europeans who are shit at games so I found myself always coming top ten. For R319 there is no reason you shouldn't buy it.

A few friends played last night...all were impressed, and seems ping was not a big deal.
Add me on steam (Arphaxad_23) for some future duo or even squad fun!
 
Will probably be picking this up soon. What kind of performance numbers are people getting? The main complaint seems to be optimisation.

There are two areas of the map where the frame rate drops to around 30 fps...rest of the time I'm getting around 80 fps.
Sound is a bit wonky at times but for early access/release its not terrible at all.
 
Grabbed this the other day, and must say it's awesome. Tons of fun, however i won't say it's perfect, but it definitely has it's basics locked down. One thing is shooting feels 'good' even with the ping (most likely 170 - 210) your shots still hit. Not sure how they've done their netcode and hit reg. But shots hit. Which is incredibly if you someone coming from h1z1. Game is not badly optimised but does need work. Myself - I get 70 and above ultra 1440p. And my friend gets 60+ ultra 1080p - with his 1060. There are slight dips as said above so definitely needs tweaking but wouldn't say it's like watch dog release bad.

Things to note (nitpicking): Jumping is a bit janky, in the sense most times its not high even to jump over things, also fists are just way too OP, my word if someone traps you in a room and both of you have no ammo, protect your face and start swinging XD. And lastly switching between weapons is still a bit off, but they have already noticed that so will probably be addressed in the next patch.

Now I wouldn't tell everyone 'go out and buy it' but I will say for a last man standing game, this game has got what it needs to be great. :)
 
This game is loads of fun! Really loved it this weekend.

DUOs is the way to go. Playing alone sucks compared to laughing your ass off when your friend screws up and kills you both.
 
Screw you guys.

I had to go buy this. Now I have it.

Dammit.

Will see you tonight I guess :p
 
Oh, post your Steamnames so we can jol. I'm urban_bunny
 
A mate got the Beta and then purchased - says it's awesome fun. I am quite keen, will see how the next few days pan out. ;)
 
I'm really amped to give this one a go - I'll possibly get it after payday as I purchased quite a few games and went on CUD spree this month so funds are on the down low for the next few months to sort out the balance again. lol

This game is very appealing to me as I played quite a bit of PlayerUnknown's Battle Royale on Arma 3, I've also played a little bit of H1Z1 King of the Kill, but that game bugs out on me, so I've given up on it, it also seems very bland (amount of weapons available, etc) compared to A3 Battle Royale and now Battlegrounds.

Then just think about the hilarity that ensues when you and 3 other squad mates jump in a jeep and race across map to catch that dreaded shrinking blue circle! :D
