People's weird lust for estates reminds me of skulltown which was also an area that sucked dick and attracted a bunch of people for no reason as well.

skulltown at least has a really cool name bonsai plaza is my fave drop there, you usually get a few people on either side, so you tend to have 2-3 clearly defined battles right in a row, but with time to patch up a bit in between occasionally it's a 9 team clusterfuck, but there's a fair few ways to disengage in that case

Skulltown was actually good but every iteration past the first had less and less loot because they were trying to get people to not fight in the most fun environment kings canyon had to offer.

No drop in this game sucks worse than waterfall. I get why it was happening on day 1, why are there still 2-3 teams reliably dropping for a half squad’s worth of loot? because they want to show off their shiny new 30XX GPUs? Anyway my favorite gimmick drop is to take the phase runner straight off the drop and go halfway - or all the way, if you want to drop by hydroponic and just take two jumps to rift - across the map. If you don’t want to drop hot it’s usually a very safe way to get away from everyone.

The most fun environments in KC were Artillery and Repulsor. Theres better stuff now but Id take either any day over the trash that was Skulltown.

egg tats posted:skulltown at least has a really cool name Yeah, Bonzai is the best hot drop spot on Olympus imo. Land on one side up top, grab a gun and get a few kills if another team landed on your side, then push for the center as soon as you can and try to hold it.

https://twitter.com/playapex/status/1383797578307833857 One more teaser image, and the Story From the Outlands is coming tomorrow. Also of note, Northstar is the name of one of the Titan models from TF|2. Could be something, could be nothing.

Oasis is my favorite, you can shoot for the 2nd or 3rd floor of either tower and usually loot those uncontested, then hop out of the third floor and circle to the basements from the back door

Bonsai Plaza always has a high level shield on the bottom floor, sometimes even gold. It's nice to drop right down to there and grab it but then you need to fight your way back up.

denereal visease posted:Is it care package only now? Yes. It always has the selectfire hop-up as a result, which is nice, but we all miss it. All of the above. I'm looking at the patch history. It got improved recoil in August; then in February, a slight damage bump (18 to 19 damage) and got a half second improvement in reload time.

Rampart is not enormously strong most of the time, but I love that those walls can turn a doomed push or rescue into a workable solution, and there is nothing more satisfying than staging her minigun correctly and just evaporating enemies. I've been playing ranked, though, and occasionally I get pubbie squads that decide we've already lost at the character selection screen once they see me grab her.

People just don't seem to know how to deal with Rampart, or better yet consider her to be so little of a threat they don't particularly care that you're building walls. People who know how to circumvent her will pretty much always get the upper hand, but as the match goes on and real estate becomes a premium, having the power to build a fortified position out of nothing is just so drat good. Suddenly you can't let her do her own thing because the rate she can bolster that position by constantly rebuilding walls becomes a major issue as you start to run out of munitions or have to enter more exposed areas to deal with her team.

What's up with the takeovers this event? I guess I missed the respawning one because it wasn't around for very long, but I got to play with the regenerating shields one for like a day which was pretty cool because it effected everyone equally. But it feels like Ultra Zones event has been going on for who knows how many days now. I thought they were supposed to switch them up every 48 hours or something?

There was a bug with one of the modes (it broke stat tracking so you couldn't progress on some challenges/badges) which derailed the original schedule

Maybe to avoid situations like the Second Chance issues happening over the weekend? Hopefully they got the issues ironed out and they can replace part of the original Armor Regen time with Second Chance again.

I don't understand why futuristic shooters introduce bows later on in the game. Same thing happened in Destiny 2. I'm playing a game about space travel and using primitive technology to kill? It just doesn't seem right to me.

It just doesn't seem right to me. its a skill-ceiling thing, separate from any in-universe concern. bows are a risk-reward weapon that take a higher level of play to use effectively, kinda like sniping but moreso, so naturally they attract players who have already sunk hours into getting good at the base game; either for style or the potential damage output. if apex was skinned like a fantasy game we'd have been using wands and swords until now, when the bows arrive.

I was gonna pick up Titanfall 2 finally, because everyone raves about it and its $7.50 on Steam at the moment. The first one doesn't have a single player campaign to speak of, right? I'm guessing it isn't really even worth the $5 they're asking?
