That's the problem, I get killed before I can even shoot people.
Played with a buddy tonight and we both have a bunch of kills displayed in our banners. We also let randoms pick whatever character they want. 3-4 people still dropped out when the map loaded. It's just the game crashing.
I ordered a mod mic 5 to pair with my 598's for this game, it's about time I stop being anti social in MP games. And I don''t want to sound like I'm yelling at someone ordering food at the drive thru. lol
All I hear when people complain about TTK: TTK is too long when I can't kill someone. TTK is too short when I die.
TTK feels perfect to me right now.

What do you mean by party chat?
My friend and I are always in our own voice chat and not using the in game one, but I have my reasons for that. As a woman it just isn't worth it for me to bother. That shouldn't be the case, but it is what it is. That said we'll always listen to any randoms who who does join, and help them out if they're in need (sometimes to our demise, the amount of times we've gone to help a guy and they've ran away and not gone back for our banners :( ).
But being able to choose how you queue would solve a lot of these issues really. I can only imagine they didn't give a solo and duo option for launch because they wanted to keep queue times quick, but considering how many people are playing it shouldn't be too much of an issue now. So hopefully they're quick about adding it in.
Well I don't know much about that, but mine only goes to 120hz and I used to play Overwatch at 200+. No idea if it made a real difference once you get that high, but it felt and seemed better to just get as many frames as possible for something where reaction time matters.
The one thing I'm at odds with is tearing, which I cannot stand, so I started using Nvidia "Fast Sync" which seemed like the best solution for me in Overwatch. I haven't played that in a long time, but it gave me the least input lag without tearing far as I remember.
If you care about all that you might want to run this with FPS unlocked and settings turned down to see what FPS you can get, and if it improves your input lag, movement, aiming, etc.
I found that post.
If there is one thing that would get me to drop the game, it would be changing the ttk
Is anyone else on PC stuck on the loading screen before the main menu? I've read it has something to do with steam of all things?
A longer than average TTK makes gear feel actually meaningful. If you could drop people that quickly why would you bother even getting armor - it also encourages you to stick to your group because it takes too long for most people to just wipe out a whole squad by themselves. Too many BR games are played by people who just want to turn it into a normal team deathmatch. This is a game designed around being squad based with various support abilities - a quick TTK would invalidate a lot of that.
That's the payoff for the speed without a weapon, need to be on the ball and prepared for combat at all times.
Yeah... I kinda find it impressive. It's the only shooter I've played where things like reloading feel like they take a critical chunk of time from me. It feels tactical.
(I don't play many competitive shooters, but it still stands out enough to be significant.)
Isn't it just the servers getting hammered? It was OK on the first day, but now it always takes a minute to get in and also to get into a match.
Actually, I too would prefer ttk to be more consistently on the longer side. The way I perceive it, the problem is caused inaccurate hitboxes combined with high character movement speeds, especially in close range.
EDIT: Do we know if the game uses hitscan, or is it projectile-based?
Managed to get back to back wins earlier today which felt great. Also managed to down somebody from a distance of 336m yesterday with the Kraber, which earnt me a nice shiny badge to show off haha!
Amazed this game is free to play, it's so well made and a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Man I really suck at this game. I take forever to down someone else, and yet it seems even with shields and whatnot I get downed super quickly. Pretty frustrating.
I found the same...what helped me was slow down....focus on being hard to see and always take extra time to look around at your surroundings. Easier to get the jump on someone if they don't see you lol. I only sprint in the open now when necessary
Crazy talk, this game and all games Respawn have made have some of the best shooting mechanics. The variety in TTK you're finding is because of the armour system.
All the weapons are projectile based and you need to lead targets if they're moving, that'll be where your issue with hitboxes is coming from.
Mods for the peacekeeper/holding to charge it make a huge difference in terms of all of the pellets hitting or just one. I think if all hit the head its like 160+ damage. It's a high skill weapon-hit your shots and its among the best in the game, miss and you'll be really vulnerable.
Wingman Wingman Wingman. It thrives at mid range. Best pistol I've used since Halo 1.
Yea, I kinda stopped picking it up depending on the alternatives available. It's certainly won me some games and I definitely get my ass clapped by it often enough, but it feels super inconsistent.
I had a game where I was standing at the top of the spine on skull town and shot someone on the ground (had to have been 150 meters at least) for 87, then I dropped down into the town and shot a dude standing dead ass still at like 20 meters and it did 10.
Thanks! That's what happened, I was doing it on the ammo
Honestly just land where the lights coming out of the ground. Since that's where the higher loot is, and most people drop around there usually nets me a bunch of kills
My best theory is just that it's how many flechettes are hitting the head but with helmets reducing that damage
Is there any way to report players? I've had some issues over voice-chat of people being very crass and offensive. Just last game I was playing Mirage and was being referred to as an n-word throughout until I muted them. Thankfully Respawn has made muting people easy, for that I'm thankful, but is there a report option?
PSA: DO NOT LINK YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT TO APEX
To anyone who is having an infinite load bug on PC, the only fix I have found is to go through your internet history and find the initial link where you attached your steam account to Apex. Once there, you have to make a new steam account and attach that one. Otherwise you will have that infinite loading bug forever. It is a massive pain, but I can finally play again on PC. For everyone's sake here, DO NOT attach your steam account to Apex until they fix this!
IGN integrity continues to be a running jokesaw this on twitter:
smh IGN, they bash apex then learn that its popular so they change their wording. Bunch of 'yes men' that say whatever agrees with the mainstream narrative. Its kinda also why I think they bashed Crackdown 3 in their previews.
Eeeh. Who cares. Was their first tweet really off the mark? It's not exactly crucifying the game lol.
saw this on twitter:

??? Their 1st tweet is outright positive what the hell are you on about
They're really on a surprisingly long streak of fuck ups.
"Doesn't bring anything new to the table" Whilst the actual review praises all the new features brought to the BR genre.
"bash" was the wrong word, but they defidently changed the wording of the tweet to fit the popular narrative. 1st tweet says it brings nothing new to the table, then 2nd says it stands out amound the others? cmon...
And it actually does bring new things to the table for the br genre
These 2 statements are not mutually exclusive. I agree the game brings more to the genre than their 1st tweet implies, but it's still wrong to say they pivoted or changed gears. The tweets literally just read like a quick 1st impression versus putting some more time
I didn't see any official acknowledgement. If there was great, doesn't stop me from being able to voice my issues/concerns. I also created a topic on the support site filled with individuals whom have had these issues longer than I whom feel ignored. Weirdly there has been an effort to downplay concerns people are having (at least on Reddit). So I'll use any channel available to communicate that to the devs for greater visibility thanks.

Two character selections in a row that I dropped out because we didn't have a third player. What gives?
Funny thing they called the gun "Triple Take". In Titanfall 2 it was the Double Take which fires two shots, but players later discovered it actually fires 3, the third and middle projectile just does not have a trail.
