Yeah, that's kinda nice. But it's probably a bug :/Daily Challenge rerolls are free for me, and I can do it as many times as I want...
That's a lot of words to say that Crypto is a legend that you need someone super skilled at to play, and god know 95% of the player-base are just averagely skilled, myself included. Which means that on average, Crypto will suck, and that's just a fact (no matter what anecdotal "I saw a good Crypto once in a blue moon" evidence people will bring), I don't know why we're even arguing over it here, this is ridiculous. I'll never be happy to see one on my team, even less so if I'm playing ranked, what a waste of a good spot for an actually useful legend! Also, bold of you to assume that the 5% of player who could play Crypto good because they're pro players, do not do so because they're too clueless to pick up a different legend than the ones they're used to? Well, that's a take. How about: they know the game better than the both of us combined, are pro at this, and know that Crypto sucks and will never use him at a Master/Apex Predator level. Because that's the tea. Pretty sure, should a legend truly have abilities pro-players find interesting enough to use, they will do so, overwhelmingly. That's what happened to Wattson when she replaced Lifeline in the meta back in S2. They're not daft.
But you're free to your opinion, I guess.
And I say that as someone who wanted to love Crypto, and actually love the character itself. Just his set of abilities, they're overall inconsequential and pale in comparison to what almost all other legends have to offer.
My first set of dailies was the same way, but after the 6 hr reset, it wasn't free anymore. Haven't been on yet today, so maybe it's a once-per-day freebie for unlimited rerolls?Daily Challenge rerolls are free for me, and I can do it as many times as I want...
Ten times worst. Here at most I'll have a 4th squad run up if I'm not in a choke point. Kings canyon fuck 7 squads can run up at the same time 😂😳You must have a really vivid memory of Kings Canyon. Third partying on that map is way worse.
"We understand there's a desire for us to reference and go back to things we introduced in Titanfall, and we love doing that when it makes sense," said Apex Legends game director Chad Grenier. "But I don't want to give out too much information. But there are quite a few surprises, and Titanfall fans will be delighted."
Titanfall fans, he's talking to me. But the way he phrases it make it sound like something minimal, I don't know.
Ya it's trash!! Easy kills tho 😂Can anyone explain how the crevasses with the air jets work? I've seen people fall in and then slowly float out and they seem to always be easy one shots.
Yeah, that was a doozy. Managed to play exactly 12 games last night (for better or worse). Hope it's not a common one, as I don't often have 2-3 hours to spare...Wow, one of the daily challenges is to complete 12 games. That seems like an awful lot for someone like me. At least there is the 2 game one.
See design director Jason McCord's explanation of the map changes here.Can anyone explain how the crevasses with the air jets work? I've seen people fall in and then slowly float out and they seem to always be easy one shots.
The original design of the new fissure had players drop to their death if they had the misfortune of missing a jump. We wanted this gap to matter - for players to fight across and control the bridges as the only way across. This let certain Legends shine (Pathfinder / Octane for crossing, Caustic / Wattson for defending) and created some intense firefights when the ring was approaching. The problem was, a fatal fall felt too punishing. The last thing we wanted was players avoiding the new map changes because they had an unfair experience.
Now, if you jump into the fissure that cuts through Capitol City you'll slowly be carried back up from the heated, pressurized air, and allowed to coast across and land on the other side. This is balanced by two things. First, you take 25 damage from the intense heat and embers floating inside. This is a consistent amount of damage every time you drop back down. Second, you travel very slowly, in third person, while moving in the updraft. You are essentially a flying loot piñata for any nearby enemy players.
Competitive integrity is always a big factor while designing new features, and our main concern with this feature was allowing players to escape fights they are losing by sliding into the fissure and sailing away. We think the damage and slow rise make players respect the gap while in a firefight, while, in calmer moments, allowing players to have fun and experiment with this new space without the risk of immediate death.
I skipped over that part. Thanks. It just looks so goofy in game compared to the trailer.See design director Jason McCord's explanation of the map changes here.

I see the general consensus is that Mirage, Lifeline, Crypto and Bloodhound could all use a boost.
Sound glitches and invisible drops will be in the game forever. I just shrug it off now.
I dropped into the Hotzone today,and all 3 of us were scanning around us...no one at this spot we all thought. Landed and another team were already there with a third team suddenly appearing next to us as we landed.
My new favorite thing to do is remove all banners and trackers from my characters. That's right lobby. This is my first time playing Lifeline.
Do you also use base skin Lifeline? Damn, such a troll move, that sounds like fun, ahah.
Hah, to be honest I can't fathom not buying the BP. Love to have those unlockables to grind for.I admire Respawn/EA's strategy at trying to make me buy the battlepass. They really tried it with the Legendary R-99 skin available on level one, as well as the gold loot tick at level 5 or so, while it used to be around level 50 on three previous battle passes? Nice try, but nah, I'm still not gonna buy the battle pass at launch, sorry!

There are two legendary ticks this time around. One at level 5 and the other around level 80 or something like that.Oh I'm gonna buy the battle pass eventually, don't worry, that Wattson skin is too good to pass. I don't how long I'll wait though. I bought the S3 battle passed around level 93, that was fun to unlock everything all at once.
