New PUBG Skirt Takes an Average of 125 Years to Unlock

Unreasonably odds for the new PUBG loot box items.

[UCForce]

Ok, what ?!

[lxeasy]

I love this game but that's extreme, I hope they change this.

[Eonjay]

Thats beyond extreme. When you start to exceed the most optimistic of human expiration dates what is the point of even making it possible. Just demand people buy empty loot boxes. Someone will defend it. They can't help themselves.

[Christopher]

I know it's only cosmetic, but that seems ridiculous. They should design it so that no single piece should take more than a year to unlock, IMHO (assuming 2,000 hours of gameplay equals one year).

[rainslacker]

2000 hours? That's an excessive amount of time for any unlock. Particularly since there are other unlocks that people would want to get. When the average MP player probably won't play that much on any single game that has copious content and several expansions.....like say COD, it doesn't make sense.

Unlocks should be achievable in a reasonable time frame. A game has to respect the players time, and make things feel like they're achievable, because very few people are going to care enough to even play a game for more than 100 hours.

[Christopher]

Note that 2,000 hours would be the max time based on poor RNG, which lootboxes have to design around.

I'm not really supporting long times, but even something intended to be the rarest of the rare should be obtainable within a timeframe by everyone who achieves that time frame. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be gotten within 1 day by some and 400 hours or so by almost every person. It also doesn't mean they wouldn't achieve less rare items within that time as well.

The 2,000 hour is based on standard MMO F2P concepts. I don't have a frame of expectation with MP games like PUBG, tbh.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Ok hell no MTs in 60 dollar games hell no. Loot boxes in any priced a definitely no no

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

PUBG is $30.

[Tobse]

Dont tell em

[Atticus_finch]

Yea, $30 more than it should be.

[Prince_TFK]

@Atticus
Why don’t they just give it to you for free and then become your slave for the rest of their lives while you’re at it?

[Princess_Pilfer]

@Kun_ADR

Yes, free to play games aren't a thing. Expensive, successful, AAA quality free to play games that don't rely on lootboxes as their primary source of money (seeing as they don't have them) aren't a thing either. Warframe doesn't exist!

Oh, oh wait, no, that's wrong, and your argument is stupid.

[Relientk77]

Yeah, screw that noise.

[Snookies12]

I'll stick with Fortnite, lol.

[WilliamSheridan]

Yeah, Fortnite charges you way more for their loot... And you get smaller arenas. Awesome

[Atticus_finch]

Fortnite is a finished game and free to play btw

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Fortnite is finished,its ftp,its better balanced,a hell of a lot more optimized and funnier imo.

[WilliamSheridan]

Definitely funnier, but it's a smaller game. We all have our preferences though...

[Rachel_Alucard]

@atticus
@dark

What are you guys smoking? That game is literally unlaunched and unreleased and the save the world mode is stuck being sidelined while BR mode is being frontlined despite being rushed out and free to compete with pubgs market. Hell thats the only reason its even got a playerbase is because its free and on console.

[WilliamSheridan]

It's a skirt, who cares?

[Atticus_finch]

Pubg cares $$$

[WilliamSheridan]

It's a cosmetic... Seriously... I played Fortnite early on and man the chances of getting a legendary weapon was ridiculously low. Alsup almost always paid for. I played Fortnite again recently in battle Royale mode, and man is that map tiny or what? Anyway...

Who cares, it's a cosmetic

[Gazondaily]

Evidently a lot of Fortnite players 🤣

[WilliamSheridan]

I don't get how people can argue Fortnite is better, or even as good! Tiny map, cartoon world, no excitement.

Anyway,I don't care about a cosmetic item. It can take a million years for all I care, the game is incredibly fun.

[Ricegum]

WilliamSheridan

I don't get how Pubg fans like yourself can't comprehend that people enjoy what they want to enjoy. I much prefer Fortnite over Pubg but I don't go around shouting about it. Judging by the dropping player count on Pubg and quickly growing count on Fortnite I'd say a lot of people agree too.

[WilliamSheridan]

Yet here you are... Doing exactly what you claim you don't do

[ocelot07]

"Fortnite early on and man the chances of getting a legendary weapon was ridiculously low. Alsup almost always paid for"

Wait you can't buy weapons with real money in fortnite what are you on about? Just to be clear we are talking about battle royal here right? Legendary weapons can be found in chests. I don't think I have ever had a game where I have not come across a legendary weapon. Except for the times where I have died within 2 minutes of the game.

[WilliamSheridan]

Perhaps you aren't familiar with the other side of Fortnite?

[UCForce]

You can’t buy weapon in Fronite store. Those weapon only appear in playing field.

[WilliamSheridan]

PvE

Also you can definitely spend a fortune on Fortnite

[UCForce]

In the end, do you really think PUGB can live that long ? I’m maybe sound hypocrites, but Bluehole trying to play God.

[ChadsteadGO]

So I need put in 125 years for a skirt? No, thanks. I am good without it.

[WilliamSheridan]

Still a great game

[UCForce]

With a shady business model.

[Eonjay]

People like you will make it possible for even more aggressive practices to come.

[RadicalCannibal]

Reading most of the comments and I’m like, why comment? It’s like they gave an ape a keyboard and that’s insulting to apes

[Ricegum]

I feel that way with Septic above lmao. It's like "look at me".

[Gazondaily]

http://minimemes.net/wp-con...

Do it

[Ricegum]

Haha Septic 😂

[DarXyde]

Sounds like the intention is not for you to unlock it, but buy it.

You're provided with the "option" of unlocking it to sell you on the illusion that you don't have to buy it.

It's only cosmetic, but this is a bit much on principle. If this is a recurring theme, I'm sure people will make enough noise about it. They always do.

[DarkKaine]

Gaming in 2018: Look at all this cool shit you'll never get unless you are the chosen one (by RNG mind you). Someone should just make a Warez group called "FUCKMTX" which focuses on developing server emulators to hopefully make an impact on their earnings.

[quenomamen]

Lucky you it only costs $20 to buy. Close to the price of a skirt in real life. Eff this game.

[WilliamSheridan]

Who fucking cares! It's a skirt! Anyone who really plays this game couldn't care less...

[Ricegum]

Why get defensive.

[UCForce]

Don’t be defensive.

[Nitrowolf2]

Yes its a skirt, and you right who should care about a dumb skirt.

HOWEVER, you shiuld IMO care about how theyre going about this. 125 years to unlock it or $20, and while either may not seem like a big deal to you because uts a skirt, theres nothing stopping them from doing this to other cosmetics.

Dont buy them then you say? Id never spend money on dumb stuff like this, but there is a scummy feeling to this whole thing and we all know what theyre trying to do here. This in truth is their way of pushing people to buy their MT. They can use the excuse "you can still unlock it by normal means", but how many full games have you played that have taken that long just to unlock a dumb skirt?

[UCForce]

Even that, Bluehole trying to play “God” with PUGB. You don’t know what I saying, but i’m not gonna tell you and you need to know that by yourself.

[RedSoakedSponge]

i dont understand.... how is a percentage of random chance converted into 125 years? lmao!

[corroios]

This is just crazy. I wouldnt waste 10 minutes to get a shirt, much less hours....

[NerveGearneeded]

worth it if i can see panties

[DialgaMarine]

And how the hell did they find this average?

[100DollarMTX]

Give the linky a click. Ars Technica did most of the math with a different item last year.

[ZiggyStarnuts]

That's a LOT of time.

[Nybz]

I feel like the entire PUBG team is color blind or something in regards to making avatar assets.

[UCForce]

They try to play “God”.

[Nybz]

lmao this is true too.

[zaherdab]

then don't wear a skirt ...

[Pantz]

Not everyone gets a trophy, not everyone wins the lottery, not everyone wins an ultra rare skirt. Deal with it.

[NerdStalker]

My life work I unlocked a skirt in pubg. What an obituary that would be.

[BongSmack]

Wow, must be an amazing skirt.
