When you get killed does the mic still work? Need to tell team not to bother going for the banner in a lot of instances.

Also is there any way to see the players you were squadded up at random with? Would be nice to be able to add good folks to a friendz list

it's weird when they do sponsored streams for a game that the biggest streamers are already playing because they like it.

My son, who is almost 5, has been asking me about Apex (he asks me about the video games I play after he goes to bed). So I've described it as a sports game with colorful characters (left out the part about the bloodsport and guns) where the players have to loot the most treasure and escape the island. And then I describe "the guys", which is his term for any colorful game characters (one of his favorite things to do is just sit at the Killer Instinct screen and pick the characters and narrate 'cool' stories for them, this is "looking at the guys"). So he knows about Wraith, Gibby, Pathfinder, etc. Anyway last night at bedtime he stands up in bed and announces that he knows all the rules to Apex Legends, and proceeds to tell me them:

1) You CANNOT tell your opponent to "get rekt" *
2) NO INSTINCT (this is yelled at the ceiling) and he wouldn't elaborate on this
3) You don't need a ticket to play (!?!?!? technically true)
4) You can't play without the password. NO TRESPASSING (again yelled at the ceiling) When I asked him what the password was, he whispered "Wraith knows"
5) When you lose, the robot gives you diarrhea **

* A kid at preschool told him this 2 months ago and he was really upset. Obviously still steamed about it.
** I told him about the ping system and used the Clickhole example to get him to laugh since little kids love poop stuff. Clearly gave it a remix.

i can't wait until my son gets that cool. right now he just perpetually yells any time im in game so my teammates not only get to hear my distorted VC but a toddler yelling "DADDY WATCH. BABY SHARK SNACK COOKIE YAY" in the bg which likely gets me muted outright.

this is kinda talking to how they were blindsided by the popularity.

Their entire marketing has been paid streamers ads, which they have to be public about, so I'm sure the official plan was to stream a couple days and then also stream when the first major content patch comes out. But they didn't expect it to be as popular/good as it was, and those deals are already done so like it looks weird but makes sense if you look at it like that.

its honestly hilarious how often I get cucked out of win-stats between the ridiculous way it only counts "wins as a whole squad" even if people drop and the terrible netcode and bugginess. im not mad i swear.

Add a hop up for the Alternator that lets you fire it while sprinting.

Add a hop up for the Alternator that lets you fire it while sprinting. Make this an innate property for the P2020. The P2020 can now be dual weilded. The Mozambique can have a select fire to let it fire full auto and carries 2 more rounds innately. I get hired by Respawn


It's mine, too That's why I'm so upset the gun is just so anaemic and sad in Apex because it's my absolute favourite weapon in Titanfall 2. I played a few rounds of TF2 a few days ago with my alternator and grappling hook and it just made me go whyyyy

Played with a random yesterday who dropped us into Water Treatment. We eliminated the squad that dropped with us and rotated toward Skull Town. He was adamant that we stay along the outer edge of the ring so the other random and I obliged. We spent the entire match rotating around the map in a spiral pattern, never leaving the edge of the ring. Every squad we encountered we were flanking by default and we cleaned them up relatively quickly. It was a low kill game but definitely taught me there are more ways to play this game than just assuming the relentless aggression that Apex Legends promotes is the only way to go.

For sure. You can't play 100% passive because you'll wind up outgunned against a well geared team that has had some warmup fights, but you can definitely take a more measured approach and find a lot of success.
