Yeah I hopped into Control to hit an LMG one tonight and discovered that basically all of the event challenges fire in Control except knockdowns and top 10 finishes so it's basically two Control matches to keep you steady on the day.

Respawn says they’re still working on the input delay issue on (next-gen?) Xboxes. In the meantime I want to reiterate that plugging your controller in to your Xbox seems to fix it.

Squeezed in a single round of Ranked Arenas yesterday. Had to avoid elimination 3 times to, went LLWWLWLWW. I just started playing more with Horizon a couple of weeks ago so this was fun. Ran an R45 w/ a Longbow or Alternator in the second slot.

Regrettable posted:I'm seeing top .82% which is roughly Master level from earlier seasons. I'm still undecided if this is because its that much harder to rank up or if everyone is just saying "lol gently caress this, this isn't fun" and not playing ranked.

It's really hard to rank up. A buddy of mine who hit master the past couple of seasons has been hardstuck P4 because that's when you get thrown into pred/master lobbies now. I'm sure there are probably less people playing it as well but that's not the main issue.

It’s both. It’s hard to rank up for sure, once you hit P4 you’re playing against nothing but former masters, but it’s also an unfun play style. There’s like 15 minutes of ratting before you get to the small circles and positioning and fighting matter again. If that’s what they’re going for then start shrinking the first and second circles faster so we can skip the waiting.

as bad as everyone dropping fragment is on olympus, ever single game of storm point feels the same. Like the whole match follows the same beats. Once you make it out of fragment an olympus match can go anyway but storm point feels like there are no surprises.

Or this this a joke about Estates/Energy Depot, because both are valid Fragment a-likes on Olympus.

As a Storm Point enjoyer (am sucker for tropical aesthetic) it absolutely has faults, but it's also nice that you can land somewhere that isn't even slightly hotdrop adjacent and still have a decent chunk of the server still alive by the end of ring 1. You can always land rear end end of course and not see anyone till final fight but you can do that on any map really, on SP it just takes a nice chunk longer.

Storm Point is my favorite map, but all of the maps need a faster round one to move the game along. In other maps the drag is after hot drop and on storm Point it's until mid game when people fight in the crossroad spots. The first ring could move almost immediately and games would improve a ton for everyone but the newest loot happy player, and it would lean harder into legend skills than generic ability since a higher % of time would be spent doing something.

You die at fragment or you win fragment and then you have to hunt down the 3 squads that didn't drop fragment.

I am extremely sad that the "ring is always closing" mode was forever delayed due to technical issues and they never bothered to test it out, because I think the game needs that for ring 1.

Storm Point is too large, too many awkward choke points, too much time is spent looking for a fight, that's not really a problem in World's Edge, because everyone drops around fragment. Also dropping fragment is cool and good. Storm Point ranked works better than regular, it really just needs a few terrain tweaks, and while not a great map, it's not a bad one. The only bad map is Kings Canyon ranked. Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I am extremely sad that the "ring is always closing" mode was forever delayed due to technical issues and they never bothered to test it out, because I think the game needs that for ring 1. Always Be Closing has been its own mode and part of others. It's the 'ring shrinks everytime someone dies' that never made it into the game. wyoming fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Jun 29, 2022 |

Putting high-level loot on the edges of the map and starting the first ring closure immediately would actually be interesting. But no, let's all drop Fragment again.

Stormpoint is too big and I've never understood how BRs keep running into this problem. The same thing happened with PUBG - the original map was too big and then the second map they released was even worse because it was the same size but didn't have water taking up some of the area and so it felt less dense.

I always thought storm point was made with both comp in mind and at least trying to address the "3rd party legends" meme. 15% larger in both dimension and playable space than World's Edge. Though there's always "the way the map should be played" and "what you get in pubs" - Mill, Cascade Falls and The Wall are where 80% of the lobby lands, which is just the tiniest improvement over everyone dropping Fragment.

I think the issue is ppl complain about third parties so they make the maps bigger, then everyone complains about how boring and empty it is. Ppl need to search inside themselves and realize the truth, they just want to play regular old small arena based deathmatch instead.

Make a donut-shaped map and drop everyone on the outside ring. The donut hole unlocks after Ring 2 finishes. Honestly there's lots of ways to address this problem, they're just unwilling to experiment because all the zoomers throw shrieking meltdown fits over mild changes to gameplay.

Octane pads got buffed too. Pathfinder zips are on a shorter cooldown now too. Mobility creep is real, valk's a massive problem, but the others have gotten to good for kings, too.

Tried playing warzone for a bit, and I think the rebirth island gimmick would be super fun in apex. You're on a small map with closing zones, as in a BR. But when you die you will start a ~30s respawn timer, which anyone on your squad can accelerate by a few seconds at a time by getting kills. If your whole squad is dead at once, you die, but otherwise you can keep respawning until the very end zone, at which point it becomes like a normal BR until the end. It gave a really good mix of encouraging a lot more action and fighting, while still keeping some of the fun tactics/strategy which you only really get in BRs.shut up blegum posted:Ugh, I suck at control.

You can definitely end up winging a bunch of people for ~100 damage each and never finishing your kills, or losing the duel right after. Usually for me this happens when I'm taking more fights at range and not successfully running people down. Sort of why you want to look at both kills and damage ideally I think.

I suck at this game. In duos or triples, I'll get like 90-400 damage a game. Maybe 1-2 assists, usually 0 kills. What's the fastest way to get better? Just grind the deathmatch so I can practice aiming and clicking?
