Recently I have got a lot of comments on
how to install SSL on your localhost and mainly it's because in all of my
tutorials where I'm showing how to implement Facebook log in to your login
page now Facebook requires SSL certificate in order for you to be able
to make tests so let me show you where is the problem so this here is basically
the code from that tutorial and now when I click log in with Facebook and
redirect there I've got this message it says insecure login pocket you can get
an access blah blah blah try reloading the page as HTTPS which means that you
will need to have SSL certificate on your localhost now there are so many
different ways on how you can achieve this but I have decided to create you
basically a two-step process that will that you can set up in two minutes so
let me show you what am I talking about so first thing that you need to do is go
to the ngrok.com and basically this website or their app will provide you
SSL URL that you can just use but basically it will turn out it to your
localhost okay so all I need to do in order to download is just to go to
and here you will have an option to download and also you will have step by
step how you can apply it to your local host so for me I am using a Linux and my
option is already selected here so just click on download for Linux save it to
my desired location and that's it so I already did that and this is what I have
got so on a Linux I will need to run it from the terminal so all I need to do is
to say /ngrok http 80 and then I will say port 80 ok and now in a few seconds I
will see a screen like this and basically here they are just showing the
version of the ngrk for how long it will run the current
status etc etc and basically down below you will have any requests that you have
made to this URL but what is the most important for us is this here URL so for
example if I now try to copy paste hit enter as you can see now it will open my
default xammp server and when we go here you are able to see what is
happening through this and ngrok and basically and ngrok you can use for many
other different ways but for our case needle this is what you are going to do
so for now I will just use this URL okay go to my application that I have earlier
created I will change domain to the one from the NGRK I will change this
here okay
I'll hit save changes and then I will go again to the settings
you know sorry Facebook login settings okay and then
here we need to change this redirect URL so I'll paste this and say Facebook
Log in so this is just from the tutorial if you have already watched okay I will
hit save and then of course in the code instead of this localhost I'm just going
to change to the new one okay say and pretty much that's it so now when i
refresh here and go log in with Facebook you can see now that the problem has
gone and now I am able to just accept the permissions that I am asking in the
code and everything else will work just as supposed to be so pretty much that's
it it's very simple very fast to do but very effective so if you have any
questions please ask in the comments below and also if you like this video
please like it and share with your friends take care :)

Technology Vision 2018 for Pega: Data Veracity - Duration: 4:51.
Don, thanks for joining me today.
Don Schuerman (Pega): Of course.
Accenture: We're going to talk a little bit about the
Accenture Tech Vision and five themes that we have
within the Tech Vision.
Pega: I'm excited to talk about this.
At Pega we spend a lot of time thinking about how technology
can impact both how our clients and our joint clients
engage their customers and how they can drive better efficiency
in their operations.
So, let's dig in.
Accenture: Fantastic, fantastic.
So, let's go to the third theme, and the third theme is really
all about data veracity and the importance of trust.
Data is so important from an AI perspective, right.
I mean really, artificial intelligence depends on having
the right data and a trusted source of having that data.
Maybe talk a little bit about what role would Pega play
in providing data veracity?
Pega: I think there are a couple of pieces.
Pega is for many organizations, both a protector and a
governor of the data, as well as a consumer of the
data from the AI space.
And there have been lots of projects organizations do lots of big heavy lifting
around master data management projects and data consolidation.
There's also more light-weight things we've helped
organizations do around overall data governance.
And it involves looking at your data through the
perspective of a process of a case that needs to be done
to manage that data.
A great example of where we're actually seeing this pop-up right now is in
the area of GDPR, right.
As more organizations need to be able to push back out to their customers' information
about the data, or perform global data cleansing,
they're going to fill a lot of that initially through
a lot of manual stuff, but at the end of the day, that actually
needs to be a process that's governed.
And so, we're seeing organizations use Pega both in the case of
GDPR but also in the case of other areas of data cleansing.
Use case management to sit on top of their data
systems, virtualize pulling that data together, and
then ensuring that once you get the data right, it stays
right, so that every time changes get made, I'm consistently
updating back into the various systems that need it.
Accenture: That makes sense, so using case management to really do that data management.
Now, when you talk about Pega AI and AI-enabled
Customer Decision Hub, you used the example of Google
before, and Google's very dependent upon lots and
lots of faces, all of our faces, all of our pictures
are loaded up in there so they do a fantastic job with
that.
How dependent is Pega on the data for the Customer
Decision Hub?
Pega: We are data-dependent and we're using technologies, again, like amazing machine
learning,predictive analytics that are fed and grown and learn
through data.
However, I think that there's been, at the enterprise level, a lot of excitement about
big data, massive data scale, sort of internet-size
scale, and it's left a lot of what I would call little data,
unmined for value.
Right?
So, we are dependent on data and we pull data in
and we can do things to help organizations normalize
and get the right data.
But you can also do a lot in the AI-driven decisioning space without massive
Google-sized data sets.
We did some work together at a telecommunications company that dramatically
changed how they retain and market to their clients,
and I believe the first phase of that project started with
about 30 to 40 pieces of data about each individual customer.
And having those 30 to 40 right and fed into an engine that could learn from them, allowed
them to have triple and dramatically improve their
ability to make the right offers to the clients.
So, it wasn't about getting this Google-sized data set, it was
about getting the right data set and fed into the right
kind of engine to learn from it.
Accenture: And getting a data set that's actually very
dependent upon the customer or client themselves, versus having to go outside of that ecosystem.
Pega: So many of these enterprises, you know, have as
valuable and as exciting as sort of the data economy
is, and what some of these platforms will be for certain
things, as an enterprise, if you're a bank, if you're a
telecommunications company, you've got data about
your client that's incredibly powerful, unique to you,
that allows you to make a differentiated decision, not
the same kind of capability that anybody can make
from using Google's data, and I think at the enterprise
level, that data is still relatively unmined.
There's lots of value to be pulled from it.
Accenture: Yeah, tremendous opportunity.

Technology Vision 2018 for Pega: Extended Reality - Duration: 3:53.
David Steuer (Accenture): Hi, this is David Steuer
and I lead up the Pega Platform within Cloud First for
Accenture.
And I have with me today, Don Schuerman, who is the CTO for Pega.
Don, happy to have you here with us.
Don Schuerman (Pega): Always nice to talk to you.
Accenture: We're going to talk today about the 2018
Tech Vision, it's called Intelligent Enterprise Unleashed.
And as we do every year, we have a set of trends that
we're seeing within technology, and these trends are
focused on the types of things that are going to allow
organizations to better interface with their customers,
to better improve and optimize their own businesses, as well as technology trends that may impact
you and I, as customers or citizens within the world.
The second trend that we have is around extended reality, what we call the end of distance.
That's kind of a fun topic, I know, you know, extended
reality is something that's often used in games.
Pega: Yep Accenture: But we're also seeing it as a
way to use for training, or even enhancing in communication
and it's a channel.
And maybe talk a little bit about how you see Pega playing in that space, how does it
fit into the Pega omnichannel approach?
Pega: Yeah.
I think where we really want to ensure is that as we're making these AI-powered
decisions, as we're driving this robotic-powered automation,
which is what really drives efficiency and also ease of
experience, that's got to work no matter where your
customers are.
Right, whether you're engaging them in a traditional channel, like a branch or
an ATM or a website, whether you're pushing into a more
digital channel, like a mobile app experience or a
chat bot, I want to ensure that I'm not building and
burying my logic inside those channels, but that the
logic is sort of living across the channel.
I think the risk for organizations, with all these exciting
new tech, is to dive into the new channel tech and
build a great experience there, and then when your
customer goes somewhere else, everything falls apart.
Your customers don't live in channels, they live almost
a "channel-less" life.
And we want to ensure that the technology plugs seamlessly across all of
them, so you can get great benefits and great experience
for the customer.
I know we've done some work with Accenture, specifically in sort of this enhance reality
space.
You guys built a really cool prototype of what
you can do with enhanced reality.
Accenture: Yeah, exactly.
One of the things I think people think about this enhanced reality is
you have to put on the glasses, and sometimes you do,
but actually we had an implementation where we used your
smartphone, putting that right over a printer, to be able
to see where you would be able to troubleshoot the
printer itself; put in the ribbon, or solve a problem with
a particular printer, and then having that seamlessly
integrate with Pega is what we were able to build out.
Pega: You know, probably the most widely accepted use of enhanced reality, right, is Google
Maps and Pokémon Go, and it's not going to be people
having on these massive glasses all the time, except
in certain situations, it's going to be using the devices
we have and are comfortable with.
And then injecting the intelligence directly into that point of visualization,
into that augmented reality.
And we've been working with API mash-up technologies that will allow us
to ensure all those decisions fit seamlessly into these
cool new ways of engaging with both computer and reality
at the same time.
Accenture: Yeah, very interesting space.
I think it will change the way customers interface
with organizations, it will change the way field
service works as well.
Pega: I think especially field service.
Anything that involves making things work, right, having
that visual and the data pulled together is going to be
really powerful.
-------------------------------------------
Technology Vision 2018 for Pega: Internet of Thinking - Duration: 4:23.
David Steuer (Accenture): Don, thanks for joining me
today.
Don Schuerman (Pega): Of course.
Accenture: We're going to talk a little bit about the
Accenture Tech Vision and five themes that we have
within the Tech Vision.
Pega: I'm excited to talk about this.
At Pega we spend a lot of time thinking about how technology
can impact both how our clients and our joint clients
engage their customers and how they can drive better efficiency
in their operations.
So, let's dig in.
Accenture: Fantastic, fantastic.
So, why don't we hit the last trend, our fifth trend, which is
really around the idea of what we're now calling Internet
of Thinking.
So, you've heard of Internet of Things, this
is Internet of Thinking.
So, it's this idea of really adding intelligence into the whole Internet of Things, right.
And it's combining that intelligent automation with
the ability for different components within an ecosystem
to be able to speak to each other.
So, AI-enabled IoT as an example.
What do you see Pega's role, really, in that
space, the whole Internet of Thinking?
Pega: So, again, we've been very focused on having
this core technology that's really good about making
decisions, doing it based on data, doing it in realtime,
at the moment of interaction, right.
So when I think about the broader impact to our clients
of the Internet of Thinking, one thing is the increasing
ability to be proactive.
What's happening from this Internet of Thinking is you're getting these intense
volume of real-time signals – whether it's a device
telling you things that might want you to initiate a proactive
maintenance, whether it's a piece of health information
that's coming from a client, whether it's a bot that
finds something in transaction stream that needs to
be dealt with.
So being able to take those pieces of information in, from a wide variety of things,
and then drive real-time intelligent reactions to it.
So it's not just driving back-end analytics on the data, but
a real-time responses to what I've learned to help push
and guide the client to the right place in the journey
into the right outcome that they want.
As we think about it from a technology perspective - there's going to be this sort of mixed
intention, to thread the needle between putting the right
kind of thinking at the edge, into the device, etc.,
but also ensuring for the customer, there is a single
brain.
There's a single place where, regardless of where that
signal is coming from, it's pulling that together with all
the other signals it's getting, and all the other data that
we have about that customer, so that I'm constantly
making the best decision, the best action, the best way
to make that customer experience great.
Accenture: Yeah, and while these are trends, we're
actually doing some really innovative and creative
projects together in this space, using that intelligence
for a shipping company that's trying to proactively do
some maintenance.
We're doing some work around digital banking as well using this technology.
Pega: And that's the work that we're doing where we
just walked by these cool kiosks where that actually
becomes the banking center, and it's pushing the
right kinds of intelligence out to there.
Again, I think that the organizations need to be thinking
in terms of how do I bring the intelligence into that
digital environment, but how do I make sure it's
not locked into that environment so as the customer hits
you on other places, as the customer pulls up
their mobile experience, that experience for the
customer transcends an individual device or channel
but becomes truly holistic for the organization.
Accenture: Yeah, so you wrap it, with a traditional case
wrapper and you really have that intelligent decision
hub in the middle that's providing that AI within the
wrapper itself.
Pega: That's exactly right.
Accenture: Excellent, well those are the five key trends
for this year, it's very interesting because I think Pega
is playing a key role helping enabling those trends that
we're going to see out there.
Pega: And we're really excited to work with Accenture,
largely because we get to do cool stuff together.
Like the shipping container, like the kiosk, like
the impact we're having on some of our clients' business.

Life Perspective | PLUS SIZE SWIMWEAR AND SWIMSUITS FOR WOMEN HAVE BROKEN FASHION MYTHS - Duration: 10:01.
PLUS SIZE SWIMWEAR AND SWIMSUITS FOR WOMEN HAVE BROKEN FASHION MYTHS
Who said that #Swimwear is only made for women with size zero figures?
That is a passé which has been busted by an all new range of #PlusSizeSwimsuits and
swimwear being designed for women with curvy, voluptuous figures too.
After all, why should skinny women have all the fun?
Curvy women too can flaunt their curves in swimsuits without being tagged as vulgar or
being chased and shamed by fashion polices.
There's nothing to stop you girl!
The fashion world has always chosen women with size zero figures for their magazine
covers pages.Plus Size Swimsuits A well defined figure clad in swimwear has always been the
norm for fashion magazines till Ashley Graham decided to end this monopoly by choosing to
pose in #PlusSizeSwimwear on the cover page of Sports Illustrated.
She has made it clear to women like her that fashion does not depend on your body type.
If you have set your mind on something, you can achieve it and look wow.
There's nothing to stop you woman, if you feel you can do it.
Break the fashion myths and define fashion in new ways.
Find out the right swimwear for you
No matter what is your body size or shape of your figure, you need to find a suit that
suits you.
A suit that does not suit your figure will not look good even if you are skinny.
Firstly, you need to find a swimwear that complements your curves and flatters your
figure instead of making you look vulgar.
You must look for #Swimwear that provides adequate hip and thigh coverage and supports
the breasts well.
You can use your swimsuit to neutralize the faulty sections of your body and highlight
the areas you love.
Over all, the neckline, the shape of the swimsuit, the colour, the prints and the length all
go into making you look good or bad irrespective of your size.
So find out the right #PlusSizeSwimsuit for yourself and get going.
Look beyond the bikini
If you feel you do not have a bikini body, you dream of getting into a swimsuit does
not end over there.
There are various styles of swimsuits other than the bikini which you can definitely try
out to feel good in the pool.
Curvy women can look gorgeous in a tankini top and swim skirt or a one-piece swimsuit.
Heavy busted women should go for halter neck suits that provide good support to the breasts.
If you have decided to pay no heed to the fashion polices and their dictums, shop your
swimsuit and be ready to rock the beach or the pool.

Technology Vision 2018 for Pega: Citizen AI - Duration: 5:06.
David Steuer (Accenture): Don, thanks for joining
me today.
Don Schuerman (Pega): Of course.
Accenture: We're going to talk a little bit about the
Accenture Tech Vision and five themes that we have
within the Tech Vision.
Pega: Excited to talk about this.
At Pega we spend a lot of time thinking about how technology
can impact both how our clients and our joint clients
engage their customers and how they can drive better efficiency
in their operations.
So let's dig in.
Accenture: Fantastic, fantastic.
So the first trend is what we call Citizen AI, or the idea of
raising AI to benefit the business and benefit society.
And you know, there's a lot of positive as well
as some negative press around AI.
Pega: Yep.
Accenture: You hear about sometimes bots getting out
of control, you know, we've all seen some examples
around that, at the same time, we've seen examples of
how AI can help individuals and help citizens and help
organizations to do better.
And what we see around citizen AI is the way the role that the bot
is going to play within society.
And I know that Pega has an AIenabled Customer Decision Hub.
Pega: Yep Accenture: And maybe you can talk a little
bit about some of the features that will enable more
responsible AI.
Pega: Yeah, you know, I think one of the big ways to
think about AI and one of the ways we think about AI
is, how do you make it as a partner to the humans that
are responsible for driving your business, responsible
for engaging your customers?
Whether that's being able to guide them to the next best action
to take with a conversation with a customer, whether that's
being able to automate a piece of work so they can
focus on other things.
And one of the first keys to be able to do that is the AI needs to be trustable,
it needs to be transparent.
So if you think about a lot of the AI technologies, especially some of the more
emerging ones, things like deep learning.
Accenture: Yeah Pega: Right, a lot of that AI has a degree
of opaqueness to it, there's so much data feeding
into it that the AI engine that Google's using
to do facial recognition, for example, would have a very
hard time explaining how it recognizes faces to you.
Much of the same way that we would have a really hard
time explaining how do we recognize a face when
we see it.
Accenture: Sure, yeah.
Pega: Which is great, if you're trying to identify
pictures of your friends on Facebook, it's probably not
great if you're trying to approve somebody for a loan.
Accenture: Sure, yeah.
Pega: Right?
And so leveraging AI in a way that is transparent when it needs to be, and leveraging
the pieces of AI technology of which there are lots,
predictive and certain machine learning models, that can actually be very transparent, and
allow you to do things like ensure that there's no
bias baked into the algorithm, allow you to show the
algorithm back out the customer that it's helping
or employee that it's helping so they can understand
and trust it.
And so we've invested in what we call a T-switch or a
transparency switch into the product, so the business
people have a control over how transparent they need
the AI to be, based on the risk level of the decision
they're trying to make.
Accenture: Fantastic, so what it does is basically it'll use, based upon whether you flip that
switch for transparent or opaque, it may use different
algorithms.
Pega: It'll use different algorithms and it will allow
for the, if you make it transparent, we won't use
things like neuro-networks that aren't really good
at explaining how they made a decision.
Whereas if you got a decision that's lower-risk,
perhaps what advertising treatment you throw for a client,
those algorithms are perfectly fine.
On the bot side, we've spend a lot of time and see probably the most
benefit when bots are deployed next to humans, not
away from humans.
If I deploy a bot to help a contact center agent get signed into all their systems, or
wrap up a call, or help somebody who's doing research
on claims pull together all the data they need to answer
that claim, our experience is one, you get better
adoption, because you're actually demonstrating to
the employee on making your job easier and helping
you be more effective.
It's faster to deploy because they don't have to capture all the edge cases
and exception cases that happen when I deploy standalone
bots and the ROI is instantly visible.
So these kinds of bots that actually assist human beings, we often call
it tended robotics, is where we've see a still very
untapped potential value and operational improvement
for the enterprise.
Accenture: Yeah, that sort of environment creates
almost a win-win-win, right.
Because the employees are happy because its helping them to do their
job better, its helping the customer, it's helping
the organization as a whole.
So it's a human plus bot, not a human – bot.
Pega: Yeah, I've seen rooms of contact center employees stand up and cheer when bots have
been introduced because it's making their lives
better, its reducing cost from the organization, and is
allowing them to focus on the customer which improves
engagement.
-------------------------------------------
Technology Vision 2018 for Pega: Frictionless Business - Duration: 4:31.
David Steuer (Accenture): Hi, this is David Steuer
and I lead up the Pega Platform within Cloud First for
Accenture.
And I have with me today, Don Schuerman, who is the CTO for Pega.
Don, happy to have you here with us.
Don Schuerman (Pega): Always nice to talk to you.
Accenture: We're going to talk today about the 2018
Tech Vision, it's called Intelligent Enterprise Unleashed.
And as we do every year, we have a set of trends that
we're seeing within technology, and these trends are
focused on the types of things that are going to allow
organizations to better interface with their customers,
to better improve and optimize their own businesses, as well as technology trends that may impact
you and I, as customers or citizens within the world.
Accenture: Let's go to the fourth trend, which is really
about building a frictionless business, and building
that business at scale.
When we really talk about frictionless business, it's partnerships.
You know we hear a lot about blockchain, having that ability,
one key technology having that ability to lessen the
friction and create a smoother interaction, maybe disintermediate
in some cases, certain roles that are being played or
certain roles that organizations are playing out there.
And maybe to start with, how is Pega enabling a
frictionless business?
Pega: You know, I think when we work with clients,
and when we've collaborated with clients, we're really
pushing clients to think what we call end-to-end.
So, in my mind, end-to-end thinking means thinking
in the context of what is the customer trying to
achieve and then managing the work through that.
And I think that really for a lot of enterprises comes in
two phases.
One, getting the internal house in order.
Knocking through the silos and the system separations
and organizational impediments to make it easy for
customers to do something easy like sign-up for a
loan.
And for a lot of organizations, there's still debt
there, there's work to be done to make that frictionless
and easy.
But then if you really start thinking in terms of customer outcomes, the customer isn't
talking to you because they want a loan, the customer
is talking to you because they want a new house.
And then it becomes okay now, how can I manage or participate
in that broader outcome?
Whether it's orchestrating partners on the realtor side, on the insurance
side, on the moving side, to help the customer get
through that end-to-end experience.
That's one of the reasons we really like case
management, because case is really good at capturing
the outcome and then orchestrating all the participants
into that.
It's also the reason we're excited equally about
blockchain, right?
Blockchain allows for that sort of shared and also smart contracts between organizations
so that I can start building the ecosystem of partners, so
that I can deliver the full end-to-end experience to my
client, even if that extends beyond what my individual
products and services might do for them.
Accenture: Yeah, it's interesting right.
Because Pega's heritage is in the BPM space, really now BPM
is now emerged in digital process automation.
It's really that heritage that has allowed Pega to easily integrate
with lots of different solutions.
Pega: Easily integrate with these different solutions,
easily sort of become participants in these broader
blockchain sort of ledgers and transactions that need to
take place.
But we've also evolved a lot of the thinking there around processes not being rigid, but
processes being much more collaborative, processes being
much more dynamic and responsive to changing customer
needs and the changing needs of the partners that need
to come in and communicate with you.
Accenture: Yeah, what's interesting too is part of
this frictionless business is being able to build things
in smaller pieces or microsegments, microservices.
We've even seen that in an example we did with Pega
at a teleco where we have been building out microbots,
microservices around those bots – almost using
the bots in the same way you would call an API – but
of course at a different level.
And Pega's queuing capability, I think really, plus it's integration
capability, allowed us to be able to do that.
Pega: Yeah to both, to sort of provide out those
microservices, but also help you begin to orchestrate
and put them together into something that feels
coherent and end-to-end for the client experience.
Accenture: Yeah, absolutely.

When I reflect on my tenure as President, I'm reminded of the people who solidified
the foundation on which this institution has grown and whose assistance propelled us to
that next level, and I'm grateful for their contributions.
First and foremost, I'm grateful for our students.
Our students come from 14 counties, with about 50% of these students residing in Edgecombe
County.
74% of our student population is female, and more than 95% receive financial assistance.
These students, at an average age of 30, are hard-working and goal directed – eager to
start their careers upon graduation or to transfer to a four-year college or university.
I'm thankful for them and the opportunity to touch their lives.
The heart of the College family is its faculty and staff.
I'm grateful for these talented individuals who are committed to student success.
Faculty create a rigorous learning environment, where students develop the required skill
sets to be successful in the workplace.
Staff are readily available to ensure students have the information, the tools, and the resources
they need to be successful.
It's this collaborative spirit, which ensures our students complete a credential and enter
the workplace prepared.
As with any public institution, our local legislative delegations are key in helping
to secure adequate funding from the State of North Carolina.
I'm grateful for those who have worked on behalf of Edgecombe.
In 2009, our delegation sponsored a bill, which provided Advanced Planning dollars for
a construction priority; namely the Biotechnology and Medical Simulation Center.
In 2017, our delegation requested that contingency funds from the NC House and the Senate be
allocated for a loop road on the College's Tarboro campus.
Thanks to their support, road construction begins this summer.
Edgecombe Community College serves its community with the help of local officials.
I'm grateful for the Edgecombe County Board of Commissioners who provide funding for the
College's plant operation and maintenance.
In 2014, the County Commissioners approved using the proceeds from the quarter cent sales
tax to fund the construction of the Biotechnology and Medical Simulation Center.
Together, the College and the County raised the bar on the level of health care training
available in the region.
And finally, I'm grateful for the College's Board of Trustees.
I've had the privilege of working with 25 members of the Board over the nearly 14-year
period.
These trustees have been responsible for the development and governance of the College,
giving their time and talents for the betterment of Edgecombe County citizens.
These trustees entrusted the leadership of this College to me, and for that and much
more, I'm most appreciative.
Thanks to the efforts of so many, Edgecombe Community College has made its mark on the
County, region, and State.
During my tenure at the College, we've served more than 100,000 students in degree, diploma,
certificate, and continuing education programs.
More than 6200 credentials have been awarded to students in curriculum programs.
In some manner, we've influenced the lives of practically every citizen in Edgecombe
County.
As a provider of this county's education, training, and culture, we're proud to call
ourselves, Edgecombe Community College.
It's been my honor and privilege to serve as the leader of this outstanding institution!
I am forever grateful.

Dream Map for NAVI PUBG - Duration: 4:57.
What would your dream map look like?
Regarding the name, it's hard to say. They've named the newest map Sanhok,
probably they are using Russian names, so I'd follow this trend and name it "Valera".
Why not?
Probably Miramar with decent vehicles, so you could drive there.
A snowy plain.
To be honest, I'd like to play some forest map, I don't know why.
Probably not jungle, but pine forest or something like that.
I want a forest in PUBG, to lay in a bush with the UMP, cover yourself with moss and shoot people with the UMP with a suppressor.
It's very cool, I'd enjoy that a lot.
I don't know, probably some green map, or desert, one of those two. Either forest or desert.
Well, I like places where you loot fast, and you loot well.
A good example is Erangel's military base, I want more hangars, more roofs, fewer doors, and more quality loot.
But we drop in Georgopol, loot one house, open 54 doors, find UMP and SKS.
I realize those weapons are in the meta, but I'd like to find at least an AK, which I don't always get.
It would be something between Miramar and Erangel, there would be less rotations,
more moving by feet, more firefights, more hills, something like that.
Regarding buildings, I don't know, like Drainys said - a lot of loot, so that looting takes minimum time.
What are the things you don't want to see on the new map?
From the point of view of a PUBG pro who plays competitive games regularly,
I would definitely get rid of water.
Even though it got somewhat nerfed recently, water campers and the water itself is still majorly ruining the balance.
For example, Erangel and an area near Georgopol, that can only be cross by 3 bridges,
which are often controlled by the teams.
And I think removing water would open up more options for teams to rotate
and allow for a better playing experience.
The day/night change, weather effects?
You know, we used to have the rain effect, I don't want it in the game anymore.
Thank you, PUBG Corporation, but no thank you.
I wouldn't mind it in public games, but probably not in competitive.
Again, these rain, snow or whatever effects would only be fine for public games, not for competitive.
Night? Well, going back to the forest setting where you lay in the bushes with the UMP,
the nighttime would perfectly fit into this.
People already can't see and hear you, and then comes darkness on top of it.
That's absolutely great, I'd like to play tournaments in this setting.
All your teammates are lying in the grass and 4 UMPs are wrecking the entire server.
That would be awesome.
What would be your alternative to an impenetrable pan?
Impenetrable devs probably.
Maybe an umbrella covering your bottom.
A mini fridge.
Guys, what would you cover you fannies with?
Tails?
A tail, yeah. A pink one.
It's hard to say. I think that pan is fine. Maybe some plate or a pot.
Overall, utensils look good on the butt.
Nokia 3310.
