This is exactly why PUBG pisses me off. This would not have been the case if we had local servers :mad::mad::mad:

Watched the killcam and he was aiming roughly 5 - 6 CM away from me but apparently that's a hit :(


And then this too yesterday


 
Yes it sucks, but we are not exactly centre of the world to some of these Devs. Northern America & China where its at.

Side note: your videos wont play embedded (Playback restriction)

Changed distribution settings to allow embedded playback :)
 
FYI playback is not indicative of the actual occurrence, I've spectated people who look like they are shooting 5-6cm away. I think its just the lag the servers inherently have. or our shitty ping.
 
Feeling this issue right now.

SO basically when you running on your screen you are in one spot, but on the server you are actually 2 steps behind that spot. They do this to "fix" the ping discrepancy I believe.
But on their screen they are actually hitting your "ghost" which is your real location on the server.

So technically they see you turn a corner a split second before you see them. I often get shot when iv already turned the corner. My ghost got shot.

Going back to BF1 :confused:
 
Is this the main reason the game gets so much hatred or is there other factors aswell ?

Nope thats just the bad ping reason.

The other reason for me is, looting quietly for 20mins with no action then running in the open and BAM! headshot from 10km away..... Waste of 20min. But thats how the cookie crumbles. Still enjoyable
 
I pumped 6 slugs into a counter terrorist yesterday jamming csgo and he didnt die so this means ultimately true our ping is utter shit !

Alot of games are trying to manipulate battle royale style modes into their plays sometimes a hit other times a miss I suppose

For a game that has made $700 million in a year that shit should have been fixed ages ago.

Both Fortnite and Ring of Elysium are free games and neither suffer from it nearly as badly as this. And Ring of Elysium was on Thailand servers with a ping between 300 - 400MS.

Their "FIX PUBG" campaign is a little too late for me. Personally I hope it will fail with Black Ops 4 and Fear The Wolves''s releases around the corner and if speculation is true and Ring of Elysium does indeed get released globally in 3 months from now the PUBG player numbers are going to drop substantially. It will teach game developers to listen to their communities and fix their broken shit. But they made their money already so they most likely don't really care.
 
Any thoughts on Battlefield 5?

This has me really excited. Finally a Battlefield game I can roll with.

I love it! I'm a WWI WII type of guy as it has a sence of history to it and I like history so I'm definitely going to get this aswell as BOP4. It's been a long time since I bought a Call of duty.

Well... My wife made me buy infinite warfare for the ps4 today... Eager to try it out

You wasted your money. While the multiplayer was okay on release, that game is just so bad now.

It is mainly for multiplayer for me and her IF we can go against each other we used to do this with BOP3 with some bots.

This game looks amazing.
The mechanics and feel seem to have been improved a lot.

Like he says its more COD like which isn't a bad thing.

Right now im playing BF1 and everyone is moaning about how the servers are stacked with all the good people on one side and its not enjoyable.
But thats what happens when only 2 servers are populated.....
So I dont see them giving us servers for BFV, and im probably not going to buy the game if we don't get servers.

Battlefield 5 looks like the best Call of Duty game ever made :p

I'm sure we will get servers.
 
and here I thought it was gonna be because you suck :p

surprised it has taken you this long to make a post like this about something that we would normally expect when one is playing on an international server

hmmmm... OTC, @Ettienne and @LaidtoRest_ZA with a @Cookie on the side for a BF5 squad :)

hope you guys can handle my silence :p
 
Word on the horison is that an Azure server is being built in Cape Town (heard this from a friend whose company tried to get the tender).

For PUBG or an Azure server for titles that utilize their servers. Would be nice if they can have a server for Forza Horizon 4 here too.

JHB Servers are already up and running, I have been testing some beta features on them - Pretty sure Cape Town is in the same boat.

This is for Azure, but in theory, any game developer who runs their games on Azure can easily just add another region and auto roll out - Which would be amazing since then we can almost always ensure we get servers for games running on Azure :)
 
Highlights mofo, have you heard of them?

I don't have time to watch you wait in a lobby or throw tennis balls at people's heads.
Give me the actual incident time or highlights.

I think all the 420 has messed up your brain. How hard is it to skip to end :p

I stream raw gameplay pumpkin, not providing edited content on this channel. That channel is still in the works and won’t be made public until everything is ready :p
 
I love me some PUBG, have almost 800hrs in it.
But im pretty sure they wont be adding a RSA server....EVER. But it would be amazing if they did though.
Wonder how much is left of the RSA players. A lot of my friends have either moved on to other games or gone to :sick:Fortnite:sick:

How would I know to skip to the end? Apparently your lack of 420 usage has marred your ability to provide actual time stamps.

Edit: Here's some helpful information to assist;

Start an embedded YouTube video at a certain timestamp
 
Yea I love(d) PUBG - but that pissed me off way too much... That silly ping gives the perception they're aiming in a general vicinity, then if you spectate their kill cam you're noodling around and they have clear line of site...

As mentioned earlier, Azure servers will soon be live in SA - Since PUBG runs on Azure servers, it would take them 30 seconds to add an additional region to their roll-out...

So I am fairly certain that they will - Not sure how many players it will have though...

Despite a lot of PUBG players in SA being pissed off with the current state of the game, if they do roll out a server in SA I think there will be a lot of players on it.

Almost every person on my Steam friends list owns and plays PUBG. The PUBG South Africa facebook group has 1300 members and the petition that was made on change.org for local PUBG servers had over 11 000 signatures.

There is probably more PUBG players in SA than Battlefield players.

But then what's the point?
I can guarantee that nobody's gonna wait +10min for a game when they can just play on the other +200ping servers in less than half the time.

It might sound like im overly negative, but I would rather not get my hopes up and be disappointed. So expectations are very low non-exciting and then I can be well surprised in the end IF it happened.
