Pilonunknown Battlegrounds

Post by Cletus »

I'm in. I said I wouldn't bother with early access any more but I watched a few videos and decided it didn't matter if this is all it gets to. Anyone else jumped in? It's basically DayZ with no zombies, more weapons 99 other players out to kill you first. It's basically what Day Z ended up becoming, but without the loss of building up a character to then lose it again.

Kill everything that moves. It's a glorious thing.

Looks awesome, I watch a lot of H1Z1 on twitch and this is basically a much better version of that.

Woot...finally a win. And you'll notice I never even killed or hit anyone! I do love this game.

I really think a few more of you would absolutely love this game in Squad play. Myself, Lestat and Hercy played tonight (with a fourth random which was sometimes hilarious) and got down to the last 3 teams standing.

Pilon, I think you'd love a bit of this action.

The best early access survival game I've played to date, looks pretty nice, runs well 60~90fps and gunplay is excellent. The game really does shine with a good squad, definitely worth a try for other ranchers.

I'll jump in soon. We're just in our new place which we're loving but we're yet to get the desk/bench done for the study. My PC remains packed for now. Should be a week or so. Game looks great.

They've added a few new guns (Vector particularly) a new 2x scope. The frying pan (a melee weapon) can now potentially block bullets too.

So this is fun but I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't like the blue circle. Why can't I just find a nice house and live there?

Still waiting on bench install. PC remains in box. :(

I was tempted to set it up temporarily on the dining table but toddlers and loose cables are a bad combo.

I would if I had a way to hook up my PC to the net.

Sorry Pilon, I've been away for a few days on a work trip. I'll probably get on in an hour or so..

You kind of can find a nice house to stay in...I often do in solo. I tend to only kill those that enter my house. You'll eventually have to move to a new location. Really close to centre in the white circle starting early on in the game should see you housed up for a few map restrictions. Then you'll have the move to stay in and get to the final 10 players.

It doesn't matter how long, I probably won't make any significant improvements. It'll be like we just started playing but you're the only one who gets better. See, I'm trying use kbam and it's just not my native gameplaying method. I have xpadder, I should set up a proper profile for 360 or xbone pads but want to see if I can use kbam. It just doesn't feel like I'm improving.

It takes awhile then it just clicks one day. Twice I've been through that learning curve, once going from PSone/N64 to Quake 1 on PC and then a few years later from Dreamcast to Unreal Tournament & Counterstrike. The day I won a 16 player public Deathmatch in UT with 30 kills 0 deaths I knew I was the shit.
