Particle effects seem to always cause massive FPS drops when very close to the camera, and I'm not sure any game engine has figured out how to make that not happen. Also the massive nerfs to Caustic just demonstrate that they don't know how to balance this game and would prefer to have watered down abilities so people coming in from CSGO or whatever don't complain.

Apex doesn't seem like a particularly well optimized game, I had to upgrade my PC just to get a good framerate on just HD resolution, so not sure why they thought the Switch version was going to be a good idea.

They should just remove abilities altogether, way too hard to balance, right? Just make it into a generic BR shooter. We can't have people using gamer words when guns aren't the only thing worth using after all.

Friend of mine spend like 250$ on this game, his account got hacked and they refused to un-ban him.

I stopped playing with pub teams because they always rush in to a group of 10 people, die immediately getting 0 knockdowns, and then use gamer words when I hang back and attempt to get their corpses, and then disconnect before I can even do so. Because clearly one more person rushing in and we would have killed the other three squads right Consequently, playing with a pre-made team is an exercise in frustration because you always get matched up with other pre-made teams who have, sometimes, highly conspicuous awareness and aim.

I know people who use a controller to play on PC, do they get the auto-aim too like on console?

Hackan Slash posted:Yes., but it's not as strong as on console. What is the justification for the disparity when they have console and PC crossplay now?
|
|
|

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?

Seriously there was nothing satisfying or compelling about picking up white junk and being like "oh good, now I have the absolute bare minimum", and especially opening crates inundated with the stuff. Though this might change the balance a bit since everyone will have a helmet no matter what now.

Wow that is pretty lame, the game already had super restrictive, watered down abilities (compared to other similar games) with very long cooldowns. And you can use them once per round in arenas huh?

Yep, middle of the next day and I still can't even log in. Funcom would be proud of this botched launch.

If the bow were also a care package weapon it'd probably be OK.

There are still white helmets and white knockdown shields spawning on the ground lol To the guy below me, no they are actually spawning with the map for sure, seen them in areas where we were there first thing.

maybe they should just change the text since "squad eliminated" doesn't even make sense for arenas lol

So not only do we apparently not need any characters with meaningful stealth abilities, we needed a guy that just knows where everyone is at all times.

Is there a "Seer has scanned you/detected heartbeat" warning yet, or did they nerf him bad enough that it doesn't matter? How much worse is the passive now?
|

Control is really good and I'd rather just play this and shoot guys rather than going through the whole long process in the regular game.
|
|
|

How are they still screwing this up where a Arenas matches starts and it's 2 vs 3 the entire way? You'd think they would just kick someone on the other team or re-do the match, but nope. Happened twice today out of like 10 games.
|
|
|

They should bring back Control and make it permanent, it was the only chill game mode where you could just practice shooting at a lot of people constantly.
|

People still hot drop in high level ranked?
|
|
|
|
They just seem to be tossing anyone and everyone into the unranked queues lately, at least if you have a pre-made squad. Champion squad will have thousands of kills and level 500, and you'll still run into people that just stand still while shooting at you, never even get blue armor more halfway through the match, etc.
|

How do people generally play the situation that develops in the final few rings where there's only 3-4 teams left, and you know the moment you get into a fight the other teams are going to run in and dogpile you?
|

Yeah the Kraber changes are pretty lame, who asked for it to be watered down? Its pretty rare to get one as it is anyways.

The wingman did technically get nerfed this patch against non-fortified legends, it depends a lot on headshots and now everyone gets the extra 15% protection against headshots with a purple helmet.

Hackers can still see if someone is spectating them, and can just not activate their hacks if so. And yes aim assist is practically cheating and shouldn't be in a competitive game. I tried it out just on PC with a controller and then on console and it's crazy how good it is, helps with target identification too since the view will just start panning around an enemy a mile away, only line of sight is required. There's also people who have wall hacks and can see you coming around corners, etc., not all necessarily snap to your head aimbots.

Maggie is maybe OK for Arenas, but I cannot see a good use-case for her otherwise. I haven't even noticed the "1 second see behind walls after damaging the enemy" passive working in BR at all, and I don't know what they were thinking with that wrecking ball ultimate or how that could be salvaged.

If you play unranked with a pre-made full group you get put into a different queue of other pre-made squads and people take it a little bit more seriously, but a lot still drop in one spot for the punch-a-thon. Maybe people stopped doing that in ranked at least because they get de-leveled now? Also World's Edge is a bad map and no one wants to sprint across the giant wasteland with no cars, trains, jump pads, etc. and the jump towers are too few even then.

Skins are targeted at the credit cards of children with rich parents, not regular people, hence the bullshit prices. The lootboxes are targeted at regular people with gambling problems, which are at least banned in some countries. Mercury_Storm fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Jun 16, 2022 |

Really don't get why I would want my character to be eating ramen or looking at pictures of his fictional family as part of a weapon in an FPS , it just comes off as really bizarre. If it were just a regular emote that would make more sense I guess, but attached to a weapon skin?

It's weird that the US, which almost immediately cracked down and banned online gambling hasn't done the same for what is essentially gambling but for children. I guess they just needed that fig leaf that you can't easily get money back out like how Pachinko parlors and slots work in Japan (you get 'prizes' for winning, but there's often an "unaffiliated" shop nearby where you can just sell those prizes).
