I've updated the OP with Season 9 info, as well as a few other tweaks. T-minus 90 minutes.

I always want to get into this game, but every match with a pubby inevitably ends up with one person in my trio going to the opposite side of the map as me and the other guy and getting himself killed. If I play Duos, I get the guy who drops on top of other players, dies, then yells at me over the mic in mushmouth talk. Any Goon Discords I try to find are usually dead. I love this game, but I hate playing this game.

Post your screen name and platform and maybe you'll get some invites out of this thread, although tbh I've had terrible luck (about half a dozen people have added me through this thread that I've never played a single game with despite multiple invites). Honestly, the most fun I have every season is 3-stacking in Ranked Gold -> mid-Platinum. I can hold my own against the average player but they are not completely brain dead, enough smurfs are running around to keep it interesting, my teammates are decent and communicative, and 3-stacking doesn't cause SBMM to stomp the poo poo out of us like 3-stacking in Casual.

The best way to do it is to post "hey, i'm looking for people" and go sit in a discord room. I'm one of those people who has played a few games with people but I typically only pop into a room to play (or if i'm asked about it a couple days in advance, i usually plan out my gaming time).

TIL Apex rolls the items when you open the pack Other games roll the items when you get the pack/crate/whatever to deter hoarding them for later

We'll join a hot drop, locate someone who splits off from their party, and then all land on the guy and punch him to deathbox. Then we either hang around to fight or flee with our lives.

So my early thoughts are if an Aim God gets the Bocek and the Marksmans Tempo hop-up, you're hosed. Unless you're the Aim God, of course, in which case: enjoy your 20 bomb.TrixR4kids posted:Lol that's hilarious. And yeah Baron always seems pretty chill/non-toxic when I've watched him.

repiv posted:TIL Apex rolls the items when you open the pack The latter would no longer work once duplicate protection is added, I guess. It's probably easier to roll the whole loot box once you open it as opposed to check your whole cosmetics library for changes between when you got the loot box and decide to open it.

repiv posted:TIL Apex rolls the items when you open the pack If I had to guess, it's because they also roll on the loot table in an unusual manner. Apex doesn't keep duplicate items in its loot pool. Other games will replace items that you already have with crafting materials, but Apex removes them entirely.

I managed to get in, but it wouldn't let me unlock Valk or the Battle Pass. The store recolor I was eligible for worked, though. Tried out a match of Arenas and it switched me to Bangalore after I had already picked Revenant. My teammate said it did the same thing to him, switching from Octane to Pathfinder. But even worse it didn't give us a third. Which is just...are you loving kidding me? After the match I couldn't access most of the main menu tabs so I figured I'll wait and come back later when things stabilize.

Looks like the NuMozambique is bugged and does crazy damage with the 2x. Hits way harder than the EVA8 at 20-40 yards. Edit: Noice! mcbexx fucked around with this message at 20:33 on May 4, 2021 |

I also can't see my tokens, buy, or unlock anything...got into a couple rounds of Arena though! It was pretty fun overall, all games went clean sweep (0-3, 0-3, 3-0) so matchmaking is probably still struggling too. I definitely need to get a better sense for what weapons I'm most comfortable with...in case anyone didn't realize both the P-2020 and Moz are free so you should never be running with just one gun. Bloodhound tactical seems super overpowered and, if you buy his Ult, that gives you three more scans for free. Anyone else got any best practices or recommendations for Arena?

I think that nabbing the crafting materials is imperative, 200 free mats for your whole team per vat can really make a difference. I think upgrading the RE-45 to blue (for the 2x HCOG) is definitely good value for money. Having a Lifeline with the gold backpack is also VERY VERY handy! edit: Also pay attention to what's coming up in the care package if you're low on funds or wanna beef up your utility instead of spending the mats on guns. The beek is real fun now and the P2020 hits hard enough to keep you afloat probably long enough until the package drops. scuz fucked around with this message at 22:43 on May 4, 2021 |
