Twice today I was in one of the last two teams with my friends. Getting better but still lack tactical experience. Dangit I love this game.

I feel like this game is the first exposure to free to play for a lot of people because getting free lootboxes is just not something that happens. If you're not paying anything while playing Fortnite you don't really get much of anything, each season the free tiers get some scraps but it's next to nothing. I don't get the expectation of having them give away their money maker.
Other games having shitty loot economies doesn't do anything to mitigate the problematic structure of the economy here. Most of us have no problem paying to support the game. The problem is the current system is incredibly stingy and doesn't feel worth supporting because most of the stuff you get is shit and no way in hell are these skins worth 20 dollars. Thats not even considering the special skins they advertise for red currency which you can't even buy unless youve unlocked the base skin which the advertised skin is just a reskin of. Its incredibly fucking stingy and I don't think any of us care that fortnite's system isn't great either.
I don't think there's anything stingy about releasing a game that's this exceptionally well done for free.
If my respawn times out I should be able to leave while still getting experience for the round. It's bullshit that I don't. I don't want to sit around and watch my dumb teammate who refused to grab my banner for the next 10 minutes. Fix that shit, Respawn.
Yeah , also decently kitted Spitfire is freakin sweet , I'm a true believer now .
That's weird because I just left a lobby for this reason and it doesn't look like I got any? Maybe it's just not showing properly on my end.
And no one is talking about the gameplay, were talking about its cosmetic loot system. Being free to play doesn't change anything. Acting like because its a good game and free to play alleviates it's loot system from criticism is silly.
I swear the most fun thing in this game is getting a close range shot into someone with a Peacekeeper with precision choke on. It just feels so juicy.
I've been playing shooters for decades at this point and can honestly say that Apex is almost peerless amongst shooters from a gameplay/gunplay point of view. I don't even like the BR genre yet I keep clicking the matchmake button after getting continuously rolled in Apex for hours. It is so damn fun to shoot guns in this game. I haven't revisited FEAR in years to know if that game's gunplay still holds up but I feel like Apex (and perhaps DOOM) is the only game to emulate the same thrill of clicking a mouse button to shoot a gun as FEAR.
Can't wait for the battle pass. I'm also really hoping they expand the content with new maps, new game modes and perhaps a more traditional objective/arena style mode with respawns. I feel like this gunplay somewhat goes to waste on the BR mode where it can be 5-10 minutes between meaningful enemy encounters depending on the flow of the game.

I'm pretty sure the gunplay came from Titanfall 2 which has a more traditional TDM but no one is playing it sadly .
If anything expecting a free to play game to have the same kind of progression allowance as a retail product like, say, Overwatch, is silly. Context matters.
Just won 3 in a row with a different set of randoms each game. There was one game where I pretty much got carried.
Ya I figured as much. It is sad that no one is really playing that game anymore but would be nice if the Apex platform can be used to offer the TDM type experience.
It's weird, because I feel like that's happened to me, too, but I'm pretty sure as long as the game is displaying the "Press Space to Return to Lobby" prompt, you're not supposed to be penalized for leaving. And it changes from "Press Space to Ping Banner" to "Press Space to Return to Lobby" after the timer expires.
The fadeaway shot was sweet. You can media embed Streamable clips, you don't have to link them.
Again that does not mean we cannot criticize whats currently there. It doesn't necessarily need to be like overwatch's system. But that also doesn't mean that it is impervious to criticism because its a free to play game. Most of us are pointing out that they would likely be seeing larger sales if their system felt less cheap and scummy. We want to pay them money. But this system is designed to take far more money from you than anything that its worth, let alone the 60 dollars it would cost if it were a normal release.
I can't play other people's embedded Streamable clips in Chrome for some reason, I assume it's the same for others so that's why I link them.
I am not saying you can't criticize the system. I am saying that wanting the lootbox level up progression to be infinitely available, while it would be nice, is naive.
Twitch numbers are falling. Really can't believe they didn't release the battle pass. Theyre letting fortnite take back their throne.
I don't think it is. Respawn has shown theyre listening to feedback. If we want a better system we can all ask for it and hopefully they'll listen and rework it (or rectify it with the battlepass system).
I'd agree with that. Hell, BOTH passives are nutty. You can actually get away with a lot of BS with that rez shield, on top of the passive heal.
For all the bickering about Wraith's hitbox, Lifeline's isn't much bigger. I'd put Lifeline and Bangalore at the top, with Wraith/Bloodhound a bit below. Though they're all great.
They cant get better without experience.
Also, if you were good enough, you could carry them.
Also, are you even that pro to be talking like an elitist?
They also never work for me in Chrome but I have no idea how to fix it.
Counterstrike has double fortnite right now, Epic better release a 5v5 competitive mode quick before their left in the dust...
This is such a ridiculous stance. They'll release the battle pass when they are ready, that don't need to respond to something as arbitrary as twitch rankings or people's strange compulsion to spend money.
It's adblock.
Nor did I say it did. But if you dont think they aren't working towards overthrowing it idk what to tell you.
Refer to above. But yes they don't care about twitch, which is why they probably paid millions of dollars to get the top twitch streamers to advertise their game for them when they announced or running tournaments through twitch with top streamers. So arbitrary.
It's not all or nothing. Their marketing isn't a failure because they aren't beating fortnite
I imagine it's a horribly misguided attempt to get people buying coins.
I'm not in software, but I strongly doubt that's an in-company stated objective. In a space dominated by PUBG and Fortnite, I imagine they're ecstatic they were even able to carve any room at all, let alone have the impact that they did.
Taking it seriously and toppling a global phenomenon are mutually exclusive.

Nor did I say it was haha. But they certainly WANT to be beating fortnite and their investments in it are not an arbitrary evaluation. They wouldn't be pouring millions in resources into twitch if they didn't care or take it seriously.
I just for the life of me understand the shooting in this game. Hit somebody 6-7 times, take out there armor, still I die after being shot 2-3 times while having level 3 armor.
Like I don't understand. Is the accuracy of bullets randomized?
I want to enjoy the game but it is just getting frustrating shooting somebody a half dozen times or more and them then turning around and killing me like nothing.

Would need a clip to see what actually happened.
Hitting someone 6-7 times with P2020 is not the same as hitting 6-7 times with wingman.
Bullets usually go pretty much where you aim.
No, the accuracy is exact and the recoil is predictable. I'd say just keep at it, sometimes you just get outshot and it's possible they're hitting you in the head or hitting you with something that does a lot of damage per shot like a wingman, shotgun or longbow.
Whenever I see an enemy run up on me with a Mastiff equipped, I fucking panic.
Sure is fun as hell when it's the other way around though. You feel unstoppable.
Under settings, I would turn on both floating and stacked damage numbers, to see if you're landing limb shots. Could you not be adjusting for vertical recoil and shooting their legs?
