Crate prices reset on Sunday night. It's best to just buy two crates a week and wait on the reset.
Still awful. Even if any crate would just cost 700. 4% is ridiculous.
Patch 2 is great for me...Plane ride is less laggy....Guns feel like Lasers now....I'm happy w this
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but i don't think your shots are making out past the rock. You can see through the scope obviously but where the scope is and where bullets go through are two different spots. You can hear it pinging off of it near the end.

I will be uninstalling/reinstalling with every patch, I think. While I'm still not positive the first patch "failed," I'd rather be safe--and when the patch sizes are nearly the size of the whole game, why not?
Wasn't able to find a firefight, but it seemed nice enough with some single shots.
Relatedly, I have some extremely slight right stick drift on my Elite. Gotta mess with deadzone after work...
The lastest patch from today apparently addresses the crashes
Had a game with m16 and m14mini. Feels like they reduced recoil a lot. So much easier to aim/shoot and actually hit more than once.
Framerate also seems way better on the One S. There was a little rubber banding a couple of minutes after landing though which was strange?

My game crashed this morning while driving a buggy.. hopefully it was just a one off and the patch really did reduce the number of crashes.
Actually, I take it back. I agree, it would mess up the immersion. Something has to be done on the console version about the vehicles though. I got top 10 twice yesterday, and both times there were at least 5 vehicles just driving around. I haven't played duo or squad for a few days, but I don't remember the vehicle issue being quite as prevalent in those playlists. Probably an old guy yells at cloud thing, but it just kinda bums me out to loot and strategize for 20 minutes when all I could have done is hop in a jeep apparently.
If aiming is really improved then we should be able to hit the drivers and/or blow up the vehicles easier now which should hopefully reduce it some.
The last version is 0.5.26 right? I already did the reinstall and the HUD is now proper and framerate seems better for sure too. But why some tell me it should be 0.5.29 is beyond me. Can someone tell me what it should be?
Very well noticeable. Good thing they reduced it, even aiming feels better now.
Been trying HDR and SDR lately in this game and while it is better than before in HDR Game with brightness at 54,i still very much prefer SDR. It looks way more natural and just better overall to me. Ah well.
Just had my first crash, I've been playing since launch. Xbox one X
You got the update. It likely didn't install that aspect of it.
Do you know where to aim for melee? Try getting as close as possible and pointing down a bit. I haven't had any issues connecting once I did that.
Why the hell are there cars in such small play areas anyway? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the obvious fix to just pop a message up and make vehicles disappear (even if you are in them) when the circle gets to a certain size and/or 10 or less players left?
I have had the same type of experience multiple times. In a room w/ closed door, guy walks in and doesn't see me, I shoot 3 shells at his back, he turns around and kills me. Glad I am not the only one.
Good to hear! I honestly just thought I sucked at this game, but maybe the aiming has just been a little off. Probably that combined with no aim assist, which I am naturally used to from other console shooters.

Shotguns are meh unless you get a shotgun choke, but they're fairly common so keep an eye out for one.
Ahhhhh didn't realize the choke made it better. I really should start reading up on the various different items/attachments hahaha. Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah the recoil was absurd before that's why you felt your aim was off. Try it now after the latest patch and you'll notice the difference.
I see your point, and indeed there are matches that's filled with cars in the end game when the circle is closing in. But... I'm not sure it's because of how easy it is to avoid getting shot. When that happens I usually get some hits even if the car is just passing by, and can definitely kill the driver if it comes towards me. In fact on my very last match there were like 5 cars driving and me and some other dude on dude killing them. I try to hit one at a distance, hit, but don't kill him, but another one saw me and tried to run my over, I killed him, managed to dodge his car and use it as a cover. The first one I was shooting tries to get to run me over as well, but at this point his health is so low he also is killed without any issues. The game is now down to 2, but I have no idea where the other guy is, and he starts shooting me, and when I finally realize where he is coming from it's too late. I got a couple of shots at him, but my health was lower and he kills me and wins the game.
So, while the cars did get to mess if me and made me lose, they kind were never in the run for the prize, because they were getting killed easy by me, or by the other guy on foot.
I do agree that on Pc that doesn't happen, I'm just don't know if I agree that using cars is an easy way to win on xbox, most of the time, both whether I'm in the car or on ground the guy on car ends up losing. The only way I've seen and been able to consistently come out on top is with a full squad on the car, picking a stranded player, but even so it's usually getting near him, dropping out and shooting him to death.
The car thing is truly ridiculous, I was the only one on foot in the final 6 lmao. It's so stupid it's funny haha.

edit: Well, I made an ass out of myself, right? I thought you were complaining about how your shots didn't hit. I don't know how I missed the fact that the game straight up killed you in that clip.

It's significant and definitely changes how you play, both in engaging and how you navigate the map. I even had to go in and adjust my controls to give myself a little more speed. I was hoping the change wouldn't be so severe. It's difficult to go back to a more challenging game after you've made a change like this.
Seems like we console players just needs to git gud when it comes to the final.
Normally when I try to drive around near the final, someone easily hits me 2 or 3 times and then it's done.
When I see the video it is obvious why so many people are driving around. Who shoots with autofire or burst without ADS on cars? That can't work, try to shoot on them with single shots and use ADR to zoom in. :D
This game is getting better with each patch. More and more friends buying into it, great times ahead.
I had to play upstairs on the OG XBO this afternoon and it seemed to run fine but I deffo prefer it in 4K. The upstairs TV is 720p and oh my lord it looked dreadful (the TVs fault).

did you stop watching after the first 10 seconds
edit: i was responding to your pre-edit post and reset bamboozled me!
I think I stopped watching before the last 10 seconds actually. My b :x
Still, your points were valid. I think he means everything that happens in the video, not only the dying. I bet he really thinks he should've killed the guys he shot at.
No, it is possible, just get better. We already have laser like recoil right now, now you want console specific car changes, what else do you want to dilute the game even more and turn PUBG into a generic bog-standard shooter?
If you shoot like in the video above too, of course that won't work.
( v every single week for the last six months v )
Boy I've got enough points for a new crate! Maybe this'll be the day I get something cool!
wow, another bloody shirt. whatever I'll just grab another crate
sweet. more work boots. next
oh cool. yet more work boots. errrrrr
just what I needed. another bloody shirt. can't wait to do this again next week
like, this ain't halo. there's no auto aim, no bullet magnetism, shooting 'near' someone ain't gonna win points. players must play slower and more carefully than they're used to.

I've seen it before in this thread so eh. dunno why it bothers me the way it does.

How is fixing the car meta making PUBG into a "generic bog-standard shooter"? Clearly people are having serious issues dealing with moving vehicle targets in small circles, balancing that isn't ruining the game. Console specific changes would be good for the game, it doesn't need to be held to the same standard as PC.
