They could have done some fun skin swaps too, like Bang in a standard Wraith skin, or Caustic in Octane's (Seer's for max effect) standard skin. That would have been cool.

Anything but that please. It sucks enough already with the Mirage cowboy hat skin that looks like Seer from afar, with all the crashes and lovely audio I really don't think we need them to gently caress up the ability to tell characters apart.

Tried to do some of the monster mash event but every arena game I queued my team wasn't full and twice I was 1v3 neat

I had a full arena game but the game crashed at the start and I missed round 1.

This game has been broken since the collection event came out, what the hell happened there?

New arena map is real good, I really wish they would stick with new maps designed specifically for arena and not more of the awful PoI ones.

Uninstalled last night after wasting an hour trying to get a functioning game in any mode. Either got an incomplete team or the server was so laggy I couldn’t run. Fix your poo poo respawn.

Same, my SO was having constant freezing issues. She also uninstalled, but then she reinstalled and it works fine. Also she switched to wireless to hard wire.

Obviously this isn't going to fix the above person's problems, but basically the St Louis and Iowa servers have been cruising along fine with no noticeable slowdowns or glitches.

or dont whatever








no crashes or anything but my sound just straight dropped when the ring started closing with 3 squads to go for about 15 seconds. Then when it was the final 2 it played the music & sound effects for like, your squad/champ squad and count down to dropping from the ship. Luckily I didn't get snuck up on during either events and won with some thematic music playing so I wasn't super mad about it.

edit: ok i somehow didn't notice like, lobby music playing all the way up to the point where my sound completely faded out. It might have started a minute or so before the clip begins when I killed the champion or something?

I've had it happen like twice throughout this current season where music of some sort starts playing around 4 teams left.

It's slightly distracting, but also very epic when you're trying to clutch in a final battle all-in scenario.

I think that bug happens for everyone in the server (at least when it happened to me my squad also got it) so at least it's fair :v:

So... Horizon thought Ash was someone else?

Also lol @ Revenant being like "aite I tried"

I'm generally not too big on following Apex lore too hard but Ash was one of my favorite Titanfall 2 characters so I guess I'm reading this bit.

Horizon thought Ash was Lillian Peck, the humanitarian founder of Olympus back when it was predominantly a science park. Ash said something that Horizon remembers Lillian saying shortly before the ill-fated expedition into an event horizon. It was in that first set of pages on Monday, though the little flashback to Ash saying “You’re never alone” originally happened in an animatic in Season 9 I think.

So Horizon thought she was going to get her old friend back, and instead she condemned her old enemy to the apparent techno-purgatory of being a self-aware simulacrum.

EDIT: Fun fact, those wake codes were part of Ash’s nonsense mutterings during the Broken Ghost finale back in season 5.

Has there been a bot problem lately?

In the last 10 or so games I've done I'd say 3-4 have had complete potato teammates who just walk into walls, spam E on doors, hit their Q and throw a punch every once in a while. I'd say it's a coincidence if I hadn't noticed the same behavior happening multiple times, but I really don't know what someone gets out of it.

I've had issues with apparent lag-switches multiple times recently, particularly in Arena. The "lag" always seems to happen just coincidentally exactly at when we're about to engage, and ends after a couple dozen seconds of inconclusive wild firing.

If the gap between Olympus and Tropics is the same as the gap between Worlds Edge and Olympus, it'll launch next season. Which would also fit with them starting to tease it now.

I feel like adding yet another BR map is going to spread Respawn pretty thin though, we only get one map updated each season so with 4 maps they'll go a full year between updates. Could get pretty stale, unless they ramp up and start updating two maps per season.

Huh, I was expecting more of the weird twilight vibe of the new arenas map. But that storm front does have the eerie green glow…I wonder if the map will also be set on Boreas or if this will be a “Party Crasher isn’t on Olympus” situation.

I feel like the maps are more or less in healthy places, though. Olympus is still fun; KC is still my favorite. There's maybe a problem with third parties, but it might be unfixable unless you change so much about it its not recognizably the same map. WE is solid, except for 2/3rds of a server dropping on the streamer building in Fragment (they need to just turn that part of the map into a giant crater, skulltown style).

None of them are so bad that I avoid queuing when its up...unlike overflow, which is extremely unfun.

Don't be a dick. They are expending resources and money to add content when they could be spending resources and money to fix problems. Instead, we get a message box asking us to please don't do this thing that causes a bug. New skins and maps don't mean poo poo when the game crashes constantly and you have stuttering during every engagement.
