Why is my apex resetting when i click to connect ("continue")? I click, it loads, it brings me back to the connect screen. I deleted and reinstalled and its still doing it. Sup with that

Someone on twitter mentioned just letting the game run minimized for like 10-15 minutes before logging in. I tried it and it worked! Got a bunch of weird connections before it sorted itself out - the first few times it would show me an announcement or two before kicking me out. Then after I cleared through my accouncements and rewards (a LOT) I could log in and see the 'play' button but the 'legends' menu was grayed out for a while. Not sure if that was the solution or if there was some minor update that coincidentally came out today. Someone on the EA forums hypothesized that it was Too Many Reward Screens. That makes sense to me. Now that I have no rewards to clear through I can log in with no problems.

Anyways!! Figured I'd put it in here just in case someone else or someone else's friend had had a similar problem. Now to spend $100 on loot packs

i cant get a handle on map movement and zone control in olympus, theres so many wide open spaces to traverse with no cover and most points of interest have no discernable "edge" to cover a flank. i dont understand it!! how are you supposed to stay on the outside of fights

It's been three weeks and I still can't log into this game. I've reinstalled twice, changed datacenters, tried a VPN, no dice.

loving EA.

have you tried mashing esc after you click connect? the hypothesis is that there are so many rewards and announcements adding up that the game kicks you out because it can't handle the number. mashing esc hopefully clears one or two out each attempt.

okay so valk jetpack is a toggle. also the macross missiles shoot out right away, barely any delay compared to gibby/bang, and there's no markers for the enemy to see. that's very strong

anyone else think cheating has gotten way, way worse in the last few weeks? had my arena streak ended at 5 tonight by a threesome that was lasering every single shot, shooting into rocks as though they were see-through, and not taking damage from being outside the ring. overall the game seems to be in a good place but the standouts have been especially obvious recently.

think i found your answer here

I think they did a great job with the arena designs btw, sniping is not OP and in fact can often be really bad, a coordinated team that actually flanks will just casually take snipers out pretty often in my experience

had a really nice game where we got constantly third partied but everyone was really nice about only coming in once we were mostly done with the previous team. good game for me, finally got my 2k damage badge on octane

be curious to get some advice from better players. on rewatch i saw at least 2 times where the enemy was completely on my screen and i just..... didn't see them, cuz i was focused on something else. oopsy

I think I'm basically in your same skill bracket, but,

*I don't know why you were using the 30-30. You landed maybe 5% of your shots, and passed up a bunch of G7s and Boceks besides! Speaking as someone who also had a 95% miss rate with the 30-30 until the last week of last season, going to the firing range with that one would probably be helpful.

*Looking back at the moments when you were on a roll, you will notice that half the work was done by the fact that, in that moment, you came from an unexpected place. And in the moments where you stalled out, like that small abortive peek at 1:35, you were going out of your way to be predictable. Instead of going back to the same piece of cover with the intention of popping out as you were already doing, you could have put doing your ult and done a long jump to the other end of that long building. Maybe it wouldn't have worked out, but you could just pop your stim in that situation and run back to cover.

*On that note, you weren't really using Octane's abilities to facilitate any plays. With your tactical, you can really catch people with their pants down by showing up just 2 seconds earlier than they expect you to. Instead, it seemed like you were dreading coming into contact with enemies half the time. Again, that tactical means you can just scout things out at ground-level with minimal risk, and your ult means you can make high jumps just to scout enemy positions.

More personally, I always ask myself, what would be most convenient for my enemies right now? If the answer is [whatever I'm currently doing], I try to change my gameplan. I try to never spend more than 5-10 seconds on the same patch of ground, and I try to not use pieces of cover/angles of attack more than once unless circumstances changed majorly in the same fight. I always ask myself if the last 30 seconds of play worked out as best as they could, and if not, what I could do differently in the next 30

Oh and I also try to visualize everything in an eagle's eye view, as if from Crypto's drone, and then do the play that would be the most sicknasty to an outside perspective :v:

thanks! this is all extremely helpful feedback

Is it just me or is the duos queue incredibly sweaty? It honestly feels like the games are easier doing a duo no fill queue into trios and dealing with 2v3s against people who actually miss shots sometimes. Everybody that kills me in duos has more stats on one character than I do my entire account and deletes me as soon as they look in my general direction, it's insane. And after getting our asses kicked for god knows how many games it still seems like we never get any easier lobbies.

peoplw who like to solo queue and pubstomp tend to do it in duos since its easier to 1v2 than to 1v3

yeah it's really noticeable in arenas. personally i don't feel bad getting absolutely dunked by a 4000 kill apex predator sometimes because i would just play ranked if i didn't want that. :xcom: but yesterday in arena games i thought i accidentally got put in a newbie queue, getting matched with level 10 or 12 accounts with single digit kills that haven't figured out things like 'moving and shooting at the same time'

Unless you have some actual evidence that the artist was underpaid, I don't find this analytic line of "companies pay workers less than the profit they generate" particularly enlightening, especially from a guy who even can't be bothered to break down the relationship between a parent company and a subsidiary company.

thanks, this is really helpful

in general i lose track of whats going on in fights and where enemies/allies are very easily. keeping whats going on clear in my head would go a long way. not sure if theres a way to improve that intentionally

for building specifics i just mean tips on fighting in and around buildings. how do you deal with a guy holding a door with a shotgun? what if theyre holding stairs? what if the enemy team is on the roof of the building you're in?

obviously not getting in these bad situations is the best. but sometimes you gotta play these bad situations. any help on this kinda thing would be great
