Schneider Inside Her posted:Yeah dropping is a weird one. Messing up a hotdrop pretty much dooms your entire team to death but there is no real indication or instruction on how to do it properly. Be the first group to arrive somewhere. Work with your team. Is that the instruction you need, or specifically how to drop? Zesty fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Apr 11, 2021 |

I can hotdrop fine, I'm just saying that there is no real way to learn other than trial and error. If I am jumpmaster I can get my team to the ground early. But I have been playing semi-regularly since this game came out.

Zesty posted:Be the first group to arrive somewhere. Work with your team. Is that the instruction you need, or specifically how to drop? It's more to do with how drops work, the physics, should you use your W boost, what happens if you do, etc. The game could really benefit from a Pilot Wings-style training where you need to land in a circle from different places, beat AI there, something like that. For such a core component of the game, it's really under-explained.

Sir DonkeyPunch posted:This discussion has me worried I don’t actually know how to drop properly Always look straight down when first dropping from the ship to get maximum speed. If you're dropping into a hotspot, jump when 600m from your target and aim just under where you want to land so you have maximum speed for the entire drop. Should be right about 147m/s. If you're trying for a far drop, jump 1,000m from your target and dive until you hit 145m/s, level out, then every time your speed drops to 135m/s dive until it gets back up to 145m/s then level out again.

there's 2 stances you take when dropping, either your limbs are next to your body when dropping down for speed or spread out when going for distance. the trick is that you can get a huge speed/distance boost when switching from the speed stance to the distance stance, so you drop down until you hit a certain speed, then level out to get that boost

This seems like a good time to ask this. The red weapons don't auto reload as if they had a gold mag, right? I think I would rather have a Volt or R99 with a gold mag, than a Prowler. And for Peacekeeper, I set up markets to steal it, and my team doesn't even bother. Kraber is the only weapon that seems really good, and it's still really hard to use since you need to land headshots

the prowler auto reloads but the kreber doesn't have any attachments afaik, it's just a kreber, and shotgun bolts don't autoreload so the PK can't.

Your own fault really.

There's a video making the rounds of an octane using a jump pad to get to make a big-rear end jump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAhugwJuhnY Japanese octane has a weird voice, especially since his exclamation after the jump is the original voice actor.

Wattson, who sees her dead father in caustic, suspects his mass murder plans are because he's dying of cancer. other legends do not seem to have a problem with this. Wattson goes to caustics house to find out his mass murder plans. he threatens to gas her, she calls his bluff, he flips because she's the only person he has literally ever expressed any positive emotions about in any context. Wattson tases him, disables the gas bomb or whatever and threatens him to go to the Mafia with the knowledge that he wanted to do mass chemical terrorism (?) and as such the characters are one again at their old equilibrium. the art is good, the writing is poor imo

What are the best new guns/which legends are currently considered pretty good? I haven’t played since season 1 or so, and I’m super out of the loop on any balance changes etc. Is there a place to look for current summaries?

Horizon and Octane are the meme right now but any of the OG legends are still very very good. The top guns right now are Anvil Receiver 301/Flatline (protip: prioritize explosive holds) and the Shitfire, but honestly they're all very closely balanced, just use whatever you're comfortable and effective with. I had a win yesterday evening where I ran Longbow/Charge Rifle. It really does not matter what gun you have as long as you know their capabilities and play around them.

I'm not gonna lie, I initially thought the official apex twitter was retweeting fanfics with those comics. Also when did Octane suddenly become meta? The last change I recall was his jumppad getting two modes of flight, which was a very good change, but was that enough to suddenly push him to the front?

It wasn't just the jumppad change, it was also how it interacts with Revenant's death totem... and then Octane/Revenant becoming a popular pairing meant that the buff Octane got to his health regen in Season 7 suddenly became that much more important.

Octane's passive doubling in effect didn't hurt either, it's fairly noticeable to jump up in health while repositioning and to mostly get your health back by the time the next one is ready. Jump pads going from a joke to a legit top tier movement option was big too while every other option has seen nerfs to cooldown or safety, you can still snipe people on the trajectory even with the extra jump mixup but it's much less predictable and a faster moving target.
