Apex Legends |OT| You kill me, you're better. I kill you, I'm better.

I have no trouble getting 2 wins in a row, but a third? Shit is downright impossible, especially when in solo q.
Why doesn't the announcer keep telling you fewer and fewer squads? We won and didn't even realize they were the last team, lol.
Played the Xbox version last night for the first time on the X. EA Access gives you 1000 coins and a skin. With the $5 starter pack and that, you can unlock both Legends on the console.
A core part of BR games is getting the gameplay loop into a good place: loot > move > engage
At the moment matches are finishing somewhere around 15 minutes, and a long drawn out match is only slightly longer. I'm no expert on other BR games, but that feels pretty quick.
And while I agree that the map is large, the current player count gives the drop phase some space. The quick movement, hills/slides and zip lines mean that you're never far from a fight, regardless of distance.
Nope. I think it is fine. It is a good balance. More people on such a small map means you will die constantly without even getting loot.
It shows it in the top right.
This game is so fun. Having a blast with peeps on PS4.
Like every team fight is exhilarating and gets my heart going. When you pull off some sick shit, like dive slide under the house, chuck a grenade at one guy and pull up straight to a dude with your peacekeeper on lock. Wipe a team. Damn what a feel.

There is nothing bad about having the occasional game with a lull in the action.
But more importantly, that has nothing to do with player amount to map size. That has to do with player choice. Where they choose to land, where they decide to run, and how passive they choose to play.
The reality is that it's extremely common to have at least one team near you no matter where you land. You add more squads then it's just going to result in more crowded drops which results in more teams dying in the opening minutes which leads to lulls mid-game because teams died while the circle was still really big.

Unless your dropping in a hot zone player encounters don't really happen until the final circle. Even slower paced games like PUBG have a higher encounter rate. Adding five more squads would make each game a little more action packed.
But no I guess the game is just perfect and there is no legitimate feedback to take. Respawn should just hire a bunch of yes men!
just to say it again, to anyone having crashes on PS4: turn off both "voice to text chat" and "usage sharing" in the settings menu
I had a consistent group of buddies that would play Destiny and Fortnite together and we all kind of fell out of touch... this game brought us ALL back in parties on PSN and just having a blast. Have had plans the past two days and it made me miss the game even more.
I don't think I've ever had a game where that's the case. Further still when people get the hang of mobility options and loot spots the map's going to start feeling even smaller.
You don't want the map saturated with players — you want variety. It adds pacing to the matches.
Tho I wouldn't be surprised to see a mode where it's bumped up to 80 players — not by adding more squads, but by making squads 4 player. Would not affect map saturation as much because squads still mostly stick together.
I like using badges in all my slots so nobody knows what level I am or how many kills that I got except me
I don't think anyone is advocating for Respawn not to take feedback. But the game has been available for days and is still very much in the growth phase. I think Respawn should wait to see the data over time, and as an average of all matches. I'd prefer that much more than "hey Respawn, more players plz" without any real explanation.
Nah matches can already feel pretty packed depending on where you drop. I have frequently been in a situation where we kill one team and then get killed by a team sneaking up. I think there's plenty of opportunities to hot drop if you aren't feeling like you get into enough fights.
Also technical limitations, do we want to turn this into another janky lagfest just to have the meaningless big number?
You can already decide if you want action packed game by landing to hotspot or a bit more relaxed by landing somewhere with less people.
It is almost too much already sometimes because when you fight 1 squad, by the time the fight ends there is 2 more squads to fight and more keeps coming.
Sometimes you can have those boring no action games if you focus on looting and have no one around sure.
Server performance is probably something else to think about when adding more players. I don't think they should from a gameplay perspective either anyway.
This isn't true at all.
What? This is the complete opposite of my experience so far. Game is pretty action packed for as it is imho. I'm not saying adding a few more squads wouldn't work, but pacing seems really good to me at the moment.
This is just not true. PUBG can be just as calm until the end. If anything I feel like Apex has more encounters.
Edit: my average kill count with wins is certainly higher in Apex
This so much this. I feel like right now it's a great balance
And my limited experience of pubg would disagree (20 hours) i found myself constantly having nothing to fight for long periods. I don't think it's ever happened to me in this
Anyone want to play a few on XBL? Gamertag is Crimson Angelus, send a message on live and I will send invite. Need one person with a mic...
Nah, I think if you are down and just ping in the direction of an opponent in front of you, the ping automatically pings his direct body and not the 100% position you was looking at, try to test it, it feels like it does that.
And this is my whole argument. Your experience, my experience - appear to be vastly different than some others asking for more players, or shorter TTK, on more drops etc. I don't want Respawn listening to any of us on this. Let the data do the talking and avoid comparisons to other BR games.
I see no value in adding more squads at the moment. More importantly, I don't think anyone would be asking for more if it didn't say 60 players when matchmaking. It just seems like some people want more players arbitrarly, to get closer to the 100 player system that other games setup.
If they add another area I'd be down. But.. that's the only way tbh. Or maybe if we increase the # of people in a squad count.
Right now there's been moments where I've gone into a zone and 2-3 squads have came also. Multiple times. Having more squads would just make that worse.
i agree they should add 3 more squads of 3 ;-) plz Respawn.....
I fucking get a guy's beacon, run through the ring to respawn him and he fucking dies to it. God damnit.
Yes, I know that. But it's still nice to hear it, I can't be always looking up there.
I went from getting no wins at all, to getting three yesterday and then coming second twice alone with two very low level teammates.
I'm getting way better, and you're better off moving around and not sitting still. You'll only get better the more engagements you get into.
I'll definitely be picking up the battle pass when it drops.

That is the Precision Choke piece (Epic color) that can fit on the Triple Take and the Peacekeeper. On both weapons it adds an effect that can charge your shots.
Hell no. If they want to spice things up, they can add in single player squads, or 30 2-man teams.
Second this. There's very few moments where I feel like my squad is safe and engagements tend to attract a lot of attention from surrounding teams. As big as the map is, it can feel very claustrophobic at times.
