breaking game mechanics
You can kick down doors. You can blow doors up. Most places have two exits per floor.

This scenario is so unlikely to happen again, I'd be surprised if this guy could pull it off like that. Secondly, why were all 3 squad members in that small ass room LMFAO?!

Not game breaking.

Does that sound about right for your PC, or is it lower than you thought? There's a bug where the game is defaulting to peoples' integrated graphics, so you might be experiencing that.

Hes the worst character in the game and that move virtually has 0 utility for your own team and is incredibly difficult to pull off. You might as well ask for nerfs to non wingman pistols and the prowler while youre at it. Makes 0 sense.

Setting up a grapple to an advantageous position is amazing.

And if it takes skill to use his ability well that doesn't make him bad. Kills = good for your team.

Pathfinder is the only hero I've played so far, but he's also the only one I want to play. I love characters with high movement ability.

Being able to post your team up on the highest position in final circle is like one of the best team utilities.

After seeing that video with Pathfinder, I am shook. We need to mobilize to see if we can get him nerfed.

It doesn't seem right tbh. I have a GTX 960. This game doesn't seem *that* graphically crazy that it should struggle at 35.

Saturday ruined the servers. I'd be interested to see the weekend numbers when they're inevitable released next week.


I just got some time to play today though so this sucks

One of my best rounds so far in over 30 hours Apex because I finished and decided the round and got us the victory and that felt so good.

Yeah, I have a 980 with an r5 2600 and that can get it up to 100-120 at 1080p on a medium/low mix. I'm not sure exactly what the fix is, but it should be easy to find. I think it has something to do with going into your Nvidia control panel and setting programs to "Always high performance" or something like that.

Origin has a built-in FPS display to help you monitor your tweaks, which was a big help for me.
How do you make sure its using your actual graphics card?
I don't know if there's a surefire method, but it chugging suspiciously low would probably be a good indicator. If you go into your Nvidia control panel and set either the global setting or Apex-specific setting to "High Performance" or "High Power" or whatever it is, I think that's all you need to do.

Thats where we disagree. You can break down doors by kicking them
iirc you can still break the door down with two kicks even if it's blocked
They could have kicked the door out. They just didn't seem to know about it.

I eluded to the fact that you can break down the doors by kicking them, but yes you can break down the door by kicking them. That doesn't change my opinion on it at all. It doesn't add anything of value to the game IMO, either people know a mechanic that is never told to them and indeed most the people that play this game aren't aware of because outside of basically just this scenario it's not very useful or they don't know about the mechanic and get screwed over by it. And by broken I mean it makes no sense, why is a person standing up not blocking a door but someone crawling on the ground is? If there's something blocking the other side, why can't you just open the door towards yourself like you would in real life? It's a stupid mechanic that only makes sense in game logic.

Landed and found a fully kitted out gold R103. First time that's happened with any weapon.

Also, the servers are pure shit right now. It's like moving in slow motion.

The kills on your banner are tied to the character.

edit: and I think knockdowns don't count =/
You played a different character he time before.
Ah, yes. I went back to Bloodhoud and saw my lone kill:)

No, and that's one of the main reasons why I hated every single one of them. I have high hopes for this game to add a Ranked mode.
So I shouldn't have high hopes Apex will add one... Well, I tried Apex on PC (had been playing on PS4), and first game - 3 kills and finished 2nd. Ha! I was carried a bit, but while far from competent, I can at least aim with a mouse. I'm terrible with a controller (Splatoon's motion aim spoiled me). The problem is my PC struggles to run Apex... it's old:(

Though I was brought back to reality game two. Game 3 I finished 2nd again, with 0 kills. I had flashbacks to my time with PUBG.

Finally played my first match, really fun and we won! Randoms were really good

Visually it's a little overwhelming because of everything on screen but I'm hoping that'll be something I get used to over time
