Oh my lord, did the mother of all clutches. Final ring, entire enemy squad left, and I'm the only one left, all my squad mates long dead and no respawn options. They used everything on me. Air strikes (two of them, Bangalore and Shield Guys), smokes, you name it. But I moved around just effectively enough, and had just enough Phoenix kits etc that I was able to survive each onslaught and flank and pick them off one by one. If anything their smoke grenades helped me as each time they used one I used it to reposition right beside each enemy, then dashed back around to the other side. They must have been confused as fuck lol.
3 wins already so far in today's games. Feels good.

The ping system works amazingly well when you're calling out an enemy who is mid range to far distances away. Pinging an enemy on a hill is incredibly awesome. In this regard, it beats voice comms.
Where the ping system doesn't win is when you've got a team fight happening in a hut that has 3 levels and people are jumping from floor to floor trying out flank each other. In that situation, voice comms win ie: "I hear him below me....he jumped out the window and is running to the right side of the building...."
The other one is is when you flat out get jumped out of nowhere. The game's own voice comm usually jumps in here in that situation but never hurts to hear voice comms reiterating it.
Again, the ping system is fantastic but it should be complimentary to actual voice comms.
Aces.
Yeah, I'm only on PS4. If ain't too much trouble feel free to hit me up:
PSN: schemingmeat
Does anyone know how the new NVIDIA drivers play with this? I had previously rolled back, but I need to update for Anthem.
It's not like you'll sleep when you get home. You'll be Apexing bruv
Sure buddy. I'm at a family day so I'll hit you up when I'm home alright?
True enough lol. Girlfriend is sick so hell, playing Apex is probably gonna be all I will be doing this weekend.
Sitting at work, but I only want to play Apex. And I'm pretty sure that once I get home my girlfriend will do everything in her power to keep me from playing...
Sure thing. I'm at work at the mo.
Actually, just a thought: what time zone are you in? I'm GMT.
Legendary skins are $20 in Fortnite and I paid for a few of those. I don't mind it as long as the skin is high quality. What they need to do is update the store more. More skins and maybe lower the prices for weapon skins. Being the same price as character skins is a bit much.
I much rather buy from the store than get Apex packs. I just don't like the rng aspect of that.
One of my teammates left right after the drop and the other had to go mid-game. Still made it to top 3. I came up on a squad, downed two but pushed in to close with low health and couldn't finish the 3rd. He was level 2 and I almost killed him through his purple shield lol. We were fighting on top of the giant skeleton by skulltown. I've been playing pathfinder, fun as hell but I need to remember to use my grapple on people too. Does it stop people from shooting while they are pulled in or can they still aim and fire?
Not right away at least, no. I've already put a couple of single-player games on hold due to Apex taking up all my gaming time, I'm not gonna buy a new game I'll never play cause I'm so addicted to Apex lmao.
Is there any good video out that shows the damage and characteristics of each weapon? Like a video where they shoot another player that is standing still and and then they talk the viewer through everything.
Before the latest update I was on drivers from December. The game was running perfectly.
Post-update I had some frame rate stutters and brief 1-2 second lock ups in fire fights.
Tried new drivers and had two full game crashes since and it only partially fixed the above issues.
On a 2080, and RTX cards are apparently dodgy here.
So no craft material at level 24? Seems you only get Apex points instead. Feels like a grind to even get to 1,200 just for one item alone.
I'm getting better...at surviving at least, lol. Last night my squad and I got into the top 3 multiple times, and even got down to just 1 person from my squad and 1 person from another squad duking it out for the win a few times. Unfortunately we lost in each of those situations but man our blood was pumping.
No, I have tried googling this and there are quiet a lot of folks with this bug.
No one has figured it out, reducing the visual fidelity to the lowest point seems to work for some.
Story time for my first (basically) solo win!
First teammate quit after the initial drop. Second quit after first down. Got myself a Longbow with a gold stabilizer and stuck to the outskirts. Got a handful of downs and kills but kept myself on the border of the ring and bounced if I was ever spotted (really easy when you main Pathfinder). Two teams left: me and a full squad. I had gotten into the ring with plenty of time to spare. Zipplined to the top of one of the military outposts that overhang the mid river. Perched at the top and just waited for my prey.
Blood pumping. Heart pounding. Targets spotted across the river — clueless of where I was. I had one frag. They clumped together behind a rock and I toss my grenade. 1 shield drops. !!Panic!! They're still clueless of where that came from but are now running to new cover. Still in my line of sight. Shot after shot, shields drop and enemies go down. Last man standing goes to rez his teammate, but didn't last long. Not a single shit fired in my direction.
YOU ARE THE CHAMPION

Foo king sweet man! Love this! Man I can just feel the adrenaline pumping right there!!! Yaaaaaaaaaooooooooowwwwww!!!
The longbow is great for sneaky shots because it doesn't leave a heavy amount of bullet traces like the triple take. I killed a Pathfinder just yesterday and he looked so crazy because he was panicking and couldn't tell where the shots were coming from.
Also bear in mind that pro-players aren't typically good game designers.
Something Shroud said to respawn likely holds no or little more weight than what other people said. They would have brought players like Shroud in to play the game because they need the game to be popular with influencers, and including them in that process also contributes to that.
I haven't seen anything like that, but you can go back to the tutorial and hang out there at the gun range, it has every weapon available so you can see damage, recoil, etc. Doesn't have attachments though.
Supposedly he's testing new Legends for them too.
But regardless, your point is true but a ranked mode is a good idea, I feel. At least some sort of skill based matchmaking to close skill gaps.
Thanks :) I'll probably post the clip later. Had to run to work!
And yeah, the longbow is definitely my go-to for long-range shots. Wingman and a Longbow is all I need.
Hopefully they don't add a ranked mode. A ranked mode guarantees that your community becomes more toxic and the game becomes no more or less competitive that it was before. It probably increases engagement or whatever but the cost to community well-being is too high. It burns people out because it's not about having fun anymore.
I don't know about respawn, but most game devs also tend to playtest with thousands of regular players.
Before a Battlefield or Call of Duty game comes out, hundreds if not thousands of players will have visited the publishers user research labs to playtest the game.
All these players tend to be NDAed, the fact that players like Shroud seemingly are not, strongly indicates that they bring these players in as influencers, more so than experts in game design. They want players like Shroud to get people excited about upcoming content, and feel included in the games development process.
I agree that a ranked mode seems like a good idea. I think the best fit for most games tends to be connection based matchmaking for regular matchmaking, then skill based matchmaking with a ranked mode. Another alternative is also to allow a sandbox mode and private games, so that players can organise their own competitive formats, privately.
I know 343i has brought in pro Halo players and hired them on the development team to test Halo 5 before. I think it just depends.
They had streamers playing the game for months before it released and they were under NDA then - Dr. Disrespect was one of them. They probably use them more for guaging then developing though, like you said.
You should have it, for sure.
My friend was saying that the badge was stupid anyway, as it even registers you as the jumpmaster when you give up the role.
do not download if you have an RTX card. stick with 417.71. Everything after crashes the game and even your entire PC while playing Apex.
Had my first experience with awful randoms last night. Luckily it was just one match. But, it's been a long time since I've heard someone scream c**n and n-word because they didn't get first hero pick.
Then I teamed up with a guy with a constant hot mic. But, he was super chill and polite until his connection dropped.

Characteristics, actual damage numbers and more. The more we know, the farther we go bruddah.
This is the first BR game I have enjoyed and I have to give kudos for Respawn for making the best F2P game I have experienced. My favorite victory was a duo win. I was Caustic, my friend was Lifeline and our third random dropped on their own and got themselves killed early on. We run around, grabbing guns supplies etc and not encountering other teams. Eventually it's late game, only a few squads left and the ring is closing around the bunker. My friend and I stand guard around an entrance to a large vertical staircase and I have enough time to set up 6 gas traps around the entrance. The ring closes and forces us to go down the stairs and I realize my gas traps have gone off. I chuck my ult at the base of the staircase and the enemy squad is trapped between pushing through the gas and being stuck outside the barrier. We gun them down as they emerge, take their stuff and engage in a tense firefight with the remaining squad and emerge victorious. It just felt amazing.
Shroud said that spray patterns were random until he told them to make it predictable.
pro-players may not be good game designers but that doesn't mean Respawn isn't taking their feedback very seriously
That sucks. I had crashes but I downgraded my drivers to 416.94(I think) and haven't had any issues since *knocks on wood*
