Hi, I'm PlayerUnknown or Brendan Green.

I'm creative director on PUBG

and I'm here today WIRED's PUBG Tech Support.

Bryrules01, @PUBG, help, why am I so bad at the game?

I'm bad that the game.

I don't know why.

Just better players out there.

But listen, keep playing and find bushes and love it.

That's my advice.

iDeNiieD, I'm guessing.

Why are vehicles the weight of paper?

They flip way too easily.

You know, if you travel at 120 kilometers over fields,

vehicles do tend to flip.

But you know, I'm quite proud of our vehicle physics.

I think they run quite well.

Yes, collision physics aren't what they should be,

but really, you know,

at the way that I see some of you drive vehicles,

of course they're going to flip.

Mister NrT, oh, it's lengthy.

So when will the other maps get increased loot?

You know, so, this is the problem.

If everyone lands in Pochinki or everyone lands in School,

there's gonna be someone

that gets the weapons and someone who doesn't.

My recommendation, like with the way I play myself,

is get out of, you know,

those really heavily populated areas

and get out to more, you know,

sparsely populated areas and spend

that first initial time looting.

Dropping a Pochinki and hot dropping in fun,

but more than likely you're probably

gonna get mowed down by someone who finds a gun before you.

So, you know, listen, we're always about balancing loot.

In the future, we want to run

some more balance passes on the loot.

So you never know what might change, but yeah,

I'd spend that initial time

not looking for action and looking for weapons.

Neural or ibreathetea, it's a good thing to breathe.

I've peaked in PUBG.

When are we getting points for cool tricks event?

Oh listen, we wanna flesh out that out game

and give you more achievements and stuff like this.

So you never know what might happen in the future.

You might get those extra points.

Zevaros asks PUBG, so let's get to the point, yeah.

Is PUBG coming to PS4?

Simple question for a simple answer.

I wish it was simple.

No, listen, right now,

we're focusing on PC and getting Xbox to 1.0.

That's really all I can say.

Yo, what's good with this?

Every game, my character goes headless, lol.

Xbox Game Preview, there's going to be bugs,

but we'll get them fixed before 1.0.

Can we get hit indicators?

Like, I just want a general sense

of where the hole in the back of my head came from.

Please, we all want this.

No, no, y'all don't want this.

No, listen, hit indicators are fine,

but we really spent a lot of time

getting our sound system to a state

that you can tell where you're being

shot from if you know how to use the sound system.

Hit indicators, I feel it just makes a little bit arcade-y,

and we already offer you lots of tools

as to know where you're getting shot from.

NoTParty4me, I got a question.

Are the test server bp's

going to merge with the regular sever?

If not, what was the point of giving them out?

For testing, the hint is in the name.

Hey, PUBG, instead of adding new stuff,

can we take a minute to focus

on fixing the old stuff and making it smooth?

Yes, but why can't we do both?

The engineers that fix the game

and make it smooth are different

to those that create new content.

You know, we have to give our artists

something to do and new content is one of these things.

ItsMutterBilk,l red zone is still a thing.

Why?

Contrary to me thinking that you're all bad players.

No, listen, the red zone will always be tuned.

It serves a purpose in that it provides

audio cover and a distraction sometimes, but you know,

we're always looking at ways to improve it

and make it kind of a part

of gameplay rather than an annoyance to players.

Now that we've got Dr. DisRespect

and Shroud skins in PUBG,

when can we expect some team skins?

Soon, maybe.

Listen, we always want to give

support to professional players and teams in the game.

So you never know what we might do in the future.

I wonder how many bullets

have been deflects by the frying pan.

Now I want a death by pan versus saved by pan ratio.

We have that data, maybe, but there's so much data.

It takes so much time to run through all of it.

Maybe someday.

VivaLaConrad, hello, PlayerUnknown.

I bet you yet this question a lot, but I thought I'd ask.

Is there a plan to add offline bot mode?

We get asked this question quite a lot.

Listen, we'd love to add sort of an offline

shooting range type thing,

but we have some technical issues

preventing us from doing that at the moment.

Let's see what we do in the future,

but I can't say yes or no right now.

Scoobies86, world loot does not spawn.

Is this only for the event mode?

This needs to be implemented in normal war games as well.

Yes, listen, you know,

war games and custom games in general

are still being iterated

on custom servers and event servers.

They still need some work.

So stuff like this, we'll get the out of there some day.

Don't worry.

So when is trading coming back?

Listen, we've put up some posts

on our Steam Community about this.

There are some issues with

some trading practices, let's say that.

So we want to work to get those ironed out.

Until then, you know,

we have to put some restrictions in place.

So why is fog and rain no more?

So, fog and rain, we want to bring them back,

but we just need to make them a little bit better.

There was some performance issues.

There was some rendering issues that we need to fix.

You know, we're not saying their not coming back,

but we want to make then a little

better before we think about it.

JustinakaSpeed, can we get a AK47u

and an AR15 SBR added?

Even a Beretta Storm or a Desert Eagle?

That would be fricken awesome.

Yes, it would.

We're gonna be adding new weapons, of course,

coming this year.

Not announcing anything yet, but you know,

there should be sone things

that will make you happy.

So what it mean, San Hok?

So, fun chicken, that's what it mean.

Please do something about jump shooters.

It's not a fair strategy.

Look, our aim in mechanics and stuff, you know,

they really do reward people that aim down the sites,

I guessing, but you know, this jump shooters,

if you can jump and shoot,

if you can manage to hit someone, you know,

I think it's a good shot.

I'm not quite sure what the problem with jump shooting is.

PUBG, as where in Early Access on Xbox,

why don't we get at least try aim assist?

The thing about Game Preview

is we want to work with the community

and see what the best way to do aim assist

if we ever end up adding it.

You know, this why we're in game preview.

It's just working with you guys are getting this feedback.

We're not saying aim assist won't get added,

but right now,

we have more pressing things to fix first.

Why do not make challenges for player to be motivated?

We're working on this, you know.

The whole out game and achievement system,

we're gonna give it a overall and you know,

change it up and make it more interesting.

Oneonlykinglsley asks how do I change the red dot style?

In the settings menu.

Why do slowly moving vehicles give so much damage?

Are you going to fix that?

Yes, of course.

We want to fix all things

to do with the vehicle and collision.

It just takes some time, but we'll get there.

So Phil_Stew asks why have death cams not been added?

Well, they have been added to the PC version.

We're hoping to bring them to the Xbox

version as well, but again,

this is why we're in Game Preview

because we want to upgrade the game over the coming months.

Motrisha asks how about a post-apocalyptic map?

No, we've had too many post-apocalyptic everything.

You know, our maps are meant to be abandoned anywhere,

and we want to do some more interesting terrains,

but I just feel post-apocalyptic

has been done to death at this stage.

GioGetMoneyTV, why is there a gun range on PC mobiles,

but not on PC where it began?

Because we face different challenges

to doing it on mobiles and doing it on PC.

The mobiles developers have done an amazing

job at getting really playable version

on mobiles which is, you know,

we have different priorities internally for the PC version.

So it just takes some time.

What about a night operations map?

Add flashlights and slow the pace

of the game down for the map.

That would be cool, having flashlights and in crates,

have night vision.

Slow the zone down to offer for stealth.

That's not a bad idea.

We've talked internally about night maps

as well and even some of the settings

we've tested internally to upgrade.

But you know, no confirmation yet,

but night maps are something we've thought about.

@PLAYERUNKNOWN, why don't you open up the skins

to modders and let the community make and sell some?

We'd love to do that, of course, but you know,

this bring their own challenges about, you know,

troll skins and stuff like that.

We love the way that Valve and DOTA

do it with their skins systems.

So maybe some day, but not right now.

Golden frying pan, when?

I don't know.

Soon?

Shikareeee, I guess.

Can we please add an option to be able

to see what your character looks like

with skins you don't own?

I need to know how I would look with these new skins.

That's not a high priority right now.

Maybe someday.

Quealy27, how did you make a game so fun,

yet so frustrating, so casual, yet so competitive?

I just made a game I wanted to play, I guess.

ScoCam, where did you come up with the name/idea?

That's a picture of the Battle Royale movie?

Really?

Quite obviously that's where I came up with the name.

MikeNoss asks why hasn't PUBG

made a frying pan only server yet?

That would be a fun time,

and with the custom games,

which we'll be opening up to more people this year,

maybe you can have just frying pan only servers.

Let's see.

SepticFalcon, oh Septic, I like Septic.

One question, do you sleep?

Sometimes.

Maybe on planes when traveling, but yeah, I get some sleep.

Luc MacKay, who's down for some chicken dinners?

Always, always down for chicken dinners.

Thanks all for tuning in to WIRED's PUBG Tech Support.

I hope I've given you some help

or some support for your questions.

Listen, we're always working to make the game better.

Don't lose faith yet.

Thanks so much and see you next time.
