I'd be pretty funny if they just corrected him and said that none of the engine stuff works the way he thinks it does at all.

So lore wise, and I can barely keep up with it....I thought Mad Maggie was dead?

If she came back as a sim, I would buy her right off.

When was the last time a character in fiction fell to their death out of sight and didn’t turn out to be alive after all?

They’re using the Source engine though. It’s not like he’s guessing at how it’s supposed to work, the Source engine is extremely well-known and understood at this point.

If you're crouched and fully pulled with a bocek you get an almost perfectly accurate shot even without ADSing, and Revenant can do that at full walk speed. Guess I just won't bother picking up the shatter caps.

Can’t give you a 100% for sure time, as it hasn’t always been the same, but typically new season updates are at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific.

This will change 0% of player behavior. 12 groups will still be slamming straight down to those buildings every game.

At least we won’t have to play it for a while.

That change already shipped in the last patch, they just forgot to tell us, and yeah AFAIK nobody really noticed

Interesting. I did hear some of the pros talk about that, specifically the TSM team that was landing there for finals and complaining all week about bad loot and a stealth change to it. They ended up winning so I guess its not a huge deal.

I'm surprised that took so long. There's been spots in the UI for that since before survival items were even added.

at least some of the pros are excited about it, based on checking out the stream of one of the top players who is very hyped about it. i would guess that there are still going to be some teams that are going to complain about it, but I don't think Respawn is going to budge this time - they rolled out some big upgrades to their esports streams last playoffs (ability to look at the viewpoint and comms of literally any team), and right about now is absolutely the time to put in other improvements as well.

The main complaint pros have about SP is the high mountains, meaning either you die in a choke or valk ult. Valk was already close to an auto-include in comp teams and this just solidifies that. I'm surprised Valk was completely untouched in the patch notes tbh

ALGS is really the only competitive battle royale I can watch. And thats honestly mostly due to the fact they take the time to have spectator cameras and arent just constantly swapping between various viewpoints trying to find action.

Also i like the swap to storm point because gently caress am i tired of worlds edge at this point.

Especially since on SP you can traverse more than 1,100 meters in one ult when going from high to low ground. It really needs a height cap or something because that's insane.

I think they kinda know about valk but dont have a real response yet which is why she is one of the free unlocks this year.

Just give her to everyone that way no ones locked out of the meta



Also i cant wait to try crypto with the new changes.

I did notice that I was getting unusually poor loot but I just chalked it up to either being late to pickup or RNG.

do normal games have MMR too? i've noticed if i queue solo with fill my teammates are usually fairly low level (like me) and also very bad (like me)

I'm viable ladies.


yes, unranked games also have MMR but it's a lot looser once you get out of newbie island. It's also easy to escape newbie island if you're a smurf or just good at FPSes and picking Apex up quickly.

Once you get to a certain level of skill, unranked's matchmaking algorithm basically just throws up its hands and shoves anyone it can find into a lobby to fill it, preds or masters getting paired with people who play pretty casually are pretty common.
