There's apparent proof of a multiverse, there's human consciousness routinely put onto silicon, there's all the poo poo that happens playing the game and the thing that sticks out to you is that Mirage may not be able to afford something?

I remember talking to a Titanfall diehard who cited all the stuff like Wraith’s multiverse visions and Revenant’s death powers as Respawn ruining the “integrity” of the setting and remember thinking “what part of Titans with Revvy-esque death totems and all the more high concept stuff they’ve been adding doesn’t sound rad as hell if they ever do get around to a TF3?”.

I'm with you on this. Every time it comes up I switch to a little arena play. They should keep mixing it up by adding more and more interesting POIs.

They should revert it back to the launch map IMO, it's almost only gotten worse with updates. When Apex launched KC felt like a real place: an abandoned science fiction settlement where every location had an in-universe purpose for existing. I don't understand why every map has to be a carnival filled with flashy, ill-fitting McDonald's playplaces.

I love og kings canyon, because it was and still is the best BR map across any game I've played for engagements not in a POI. There's basically interesting geometry to fight around everywhere.

As Apex has evolved it's gone more in the direction of "here is where engagements should happen, and here is where you will die if someone shows up while rotating"

We’ve outgrown King’s Canyon because people understand how to maximize mobility abilities and the game revolves around third partying.

I have no idea how you would make BRs not revolve around third partying without some kind of lockout gates or something. It's almost like there's a mode that guarantees you only ever fight one other team in a single POI at a time :smug:

Local wildlife being drawn to the sound of gunfire and then attacking other squads that show up might be a start.

wouldn't that just cause a PvE third party? that just adds to the chaos it doesn't improve it. which imo i prefer third, forth and even fifth parties are my favourite part of this game.

I wonder if the PvE zones are always the same or randomised, making them random would be a more interesting mix-up than just beacons and replicators moving around

Not if they don't attack squads that are already fighting each other, but instead go after squads that are lurking and watching the action.

when a PvE encounter starts, all squads get locked into the POI until all waves get mopped and have to use the power of friendship to keep each other alive.

Yeah idk for me third parties are a lot of what makes the game fun. Not so much getting third parties, but all the strategy it adds about map rotations etc.

I would play the poo poo out of a PVE mode that was a looter shooter with Monster Hunter style boss fights. Give everyone path grapple and valk jets and giant monsters to climb and fight on.

KC is a total buzzkill for me, if it comes up in the rotation I just stop playing. Part of the reason I'm pumped for next season is because I won't have to play KC for an entire season.

I love third parties. I hate KC when you're trying to get a shield swap from the fifth team in and you hear the sound of a team landing on you.

I'm an obtuse man,

Anyone else experience some extreme fps drops since the last update? My buddy, with whom I've played regularly in the past, is now getting 9 fps in-game and it's just a shitshow.

He's tried a full reinstall of the game, driver updates, and setting the game to performance mode in windows; all to no avail.

They couldn't give Wraith any more cosmetics without people (me) whining, so they made Wraith 2.0 so they could give them to her instead

IMO you should get some sort of mark of shame for leaving a match that your teammates go on to win. Especially when you hotdrop like a retard and disconnect on knock

PUBG did it well. If you wanted to roll around 3rd partying people you had to drive around in a loud car people could hear before they could see.

So find some way to make it so the faster you go, the louder you are.

Probably say Olympus is my least favourite of the current maps right now. There's definitely parts I dislike about the other maps, but way less than Olympus. Estates, the waterfalls/grass fields that reduce my FPS to single digits, the underwhelming additions of Icarus and Fight Night just make me groan when it's the current map.

You can’t walk around on foot?

Besides, knowing a team is there doesn’t help when they pounce as soon as the fight ends before you can heal and recover.
