Haven't checked for the icon in particular but games on PS4 have definitely been very jittery since the last patch.

Zesty posted:and it's really up in the air who has the advantage when it's console players vs PC players. Apparently consoles do a bit of auto tracking? I watch the TSM guys fairly often and Hal makes the point that at long range mouse and keyboard has an advantage, but at close range the controller auto-aim is a big advantage and since most encounters are close range it's kind of unbalanced. Anecdotally, from watching them there does seem to be a difference in TTK when they get deleted by a controller player but I'm not nearly good enough to tell the difference myself when I play.

CoolCab posted:pretty significant auto-aim and honestly legit pretty close to perfect (at my skill level/observation) in balance with mouse/keyboard, it's very well implemented to be good without being OP. there are some weird quirks - any scope over 3x loses auto tracking when ADS (iirc?) so you can't really snipe as easily for example, but it's totally totally competitive with kb/m. At least on PC, I know ADS sensitivity can be changed independently from regular aim sensitivity, and it'll even let you change this on a per weapon basis if you really wanted. I'd check the settings.

The console auto aim is ridiculous unless you use your mobility to go over the other player. I gave it a try and it basically just snap locks you onto people, which explains why M+KB is starting to move to longer ranges where that doesn't work.

Mercury_Storm posted:I know people who use a controller to play on PC, do they get the auto-aim too like on console? Yes., but it's not as strong as on console. A dev explained that the auto-aim function goes from 0 (nothing) to 1 (aimbot). M+KB is a 0, pc controller is a 0.4, and console controller is 0.6.

If you’ve seen it, you’ll know. The full auto r99 mid to close range lock on with irons. A full clip hits and deletes you. Perfect tracking/no recoil. No skill involved. Indistinguishable from an aimbot. It’s infuriating to get downed like that and then spectating them to see how garbage of a player they are otherwise. Ie no movement, no positioning, just get in close and get a free down. Sometimes I get good full sprays like that but it’s never a perfect lockon/track because, surprise, it’s practically impossible even with copious amounts of spray practice.

I play on console and I’m decent and I miss plenty of R99 mags like that. Y’all are way overstating how much of an aimbot it is. There’s definitely still recoil and spending hours in the firing range helped me get the R99 recoil under control. Lots of players on console use devices like the Cronus Zen which can be configured to basically eliminate recoil.

I recently saw a quote from EA a bit ago. They talked about how the switch was their pathway to Japan. The switch version is currently a technical mess and probably will stay that way until the switch pro. So if they are waiting for the keys to the kingdom, at least they can start with something the switch can do, aka the arenas. Considering splatoon is the other shooter phenom in the country and it's 4v4, focusing on small scale battles will fit right in. And it will get me playing again instead of waiting for the pro.

I appreciate the callback to the very first launch trailer with the Mirage-Wraith-Pathfinder squad.bushisms.txt posted:I recently saw a quote from EA a bit ago.

My understanding is that Apex is already big in Japan, and it got that way long before the Switch version showed up.

The earlier data-mining suggested the arenas would be cut-down sections of the main BR maps (there's been arena-related entities in KC for ages now) but apparently Arena-only maps will be a thing as well https://twitter.com/shrugtal/status/1385249069849882624 or maybe the BR cut-downs didn't play well and got scrapped

There was another custom countdown for this trailer, in case you missed it.Zesty posted:This is probably an Arena rather than a complete Olympus rework. You're right, now that we have a slightly clearer idea about this new mode that is almost certainly an Arena. But we do know Olympus is the map getting revamped this season, and it remains to be seen to what extent it reflects the full map changes of "Infested Olympus". repiv posted:or maybe the BR cut-downs didn't play well and got scrapped A lot of the scenes in the trailer seemed like areas from the maps, like Artillery and Carrier. Seems like there will be Arenas that are at least heavily based on POIs if not directly cut out. runchild fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Apr 22, 2021 |

Pivoting from "just wall off a section of vanilla BR maps" to "separate maps tailored for Arena" would explain why arenas seemingly got delayed for so long The lore setup for Ash coming back was all the way back in S5 and then she just disappeared until S9

Octane is the new Wraith in the sense that 95% of his players are complete maniacs who take any fight regardless of the circumstances and die instantly and the other 5% are cracked out killers who whip through the server like the Tasmanian Devil.

Mercury_Storm posted:What is the justification for the disparity when they have console and PC crossplay now? Idk, I think it helps players who are on low sens more but if you play on a higher sens it doesn’t help nearly as much. At least that’s what I’ve heard and it makes intuitive sense because it’d take more effort to pull away from the aim assist at a lower sensitivity.

that and everyone on consoles is playing with the same autoaim so it's consistent, whereas on PC getting deleted by a low effort aimbot is unpleasant bullshit

Ah ok, so if you're playing with your friends on PC does the aim assist drop off to only .4, or are you better off just switching to console and playing with your friends if you're going to be using a controller since you'll get .6?

 Just play Apex with whoever and wherever. It's fine. As long as you don't limit yourself to nobody and then complain about pubbies in solo queue.

I like to play with the assist off to warm up and then turn it on when I party up, and I really like the general feel of no assist better. In fire fights, especially as the circle gets smaller, squad mates can cross each other pulling your aim with it on console. The only downside to no assist is first shot accuracy and tracking, so in games with aim assist sliders like BF, I can have just enough for it to get me on target but I'm free to lead or switch targets a lot better.
