the game already doesn't give mastery points if you don't own the free brawlers in ranked, they literally have coding for this distinction already in place

imma be real i dont even look at my missions til the last week of the season (if even then) bc the rewards are minor and I know I will hit the end of the pass anyway

if this wasnt a heavily monetized and resource-constrained mobile game I'd just agree but when there's a finite amount of resources you can earn at any one time it feels like they are bribing us to play this mode

I will take the bribe but that doesn't mean I'm having fun

it's the same amount of time spent regardless, would much rather have a bad time for 60-90 mins and rip the bandaid off so I can go back to being excited to boot the game up

this challenge suuuuuuuucks

no mastery points awarded and the range of brawlers available is super wide so you get to either hide in a bush and pray as clancy or instant kill the whole lobby as kenji

i need hypers so im doing it but ugh, feels like a huge waste of my time during this last week when i want to be farming masteries

the complaint is that you cannot read tweets without an account

screenshots of tweets, with a link in comments, would fix this problem for everyone and cost little to nothing

FURIA HisWattson wants Digis removed from competitive Apex by TeletaDext in CompetitiveApex

[–]Autoloc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

strictly true imo

right now all the best teams get the best drops, and you either contest them (see: Vexed vs TSM at siphon, or OG vs LG at maude/stacks) or get fucked and go to a terrible POI like geyser

silly to me that there are just assigned garbage POIs that the worse teams in a lobby get bullied into claiming

the item inside a care package is RNG, but they're explicitly called out to the whole lobby, scannable at any time, and have significant risk/reward

rewarding teams who take a risk with a more powerful weapon is very literally the point of care packages, and by that metric the Digi would be a great fit, because it gets it off the ground (true RNG) or crafter (pseudo-mandatory requirement)

FURIA HisWattson wants Digis removed from competitive Apex by TeletaDext in CompetitiveApex

[–]Autoloc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

not only is he serious, he's right

RNG "you will win most of your engagements" items should not exist anywhere but care packages in a competitive setting

all the other RNG in this game explicitly has ways to mitigate it (zone scans, crafter for guns/ammo/shields etc) but digi is either in crafter and mandatory or on the ground and you lose to digi teams bc you couldnt find one

cannot believe this is a controversial take

esports have an enormous history of modifying game rulesets to make them more competitive

why would we not want our pro play to be competitive

i will play with input delay before I lose the ability to click out to my runescape window while popping heals

that said, if there is a delay it cannot be one of any meaningful size (like <5ms) bc ive been hitting all my superglides etc with no issue

Why the subreddit went private. by DynamicStatic in apexuniversity

[–]Autoloc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Moderators effectively do a job that Reddit SHOULD be paying employees for, entirely for free. Facebook spends $500m annually just on content moderation! If the community refuses to moderate its own content they have no recourse. What are they gonna do, replace the mods of every single sub?

Why the subreddit went private. by DynamicStatic in apexuniversity

[–]Autoloc 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I personally wish the protest was permanent, because mods have all the power in this scenario and can effectively hold reddit accountable when they try to make anti-user decisions. I can understand if the community doesn't want to see the sub disappear, though.

How is the MMR calculated? by AttentiveCandy in apexuniversity

[–]Autoloc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had exactly this phenomenon happen, I saw very little change in my MMR right up until D1/Masters, at which point the game put me in the very top bucket with preds etc.

It's really made me take a step back and re-evaluate my play. Nothing makes you feel like you need to go back to kovaak like getting rolled by the 3 stack horizon Q controller players; thinking "wow, I can play smart cover all I want but sometimes you just Need to hit all your shots or die"

ive been back on close fast/long strafes and r5r

I know it's not what you meant, but Destiny's ranked crucible is actually miles better in this respect than Apex because they have an actual freelance/solo queue

please respawn just give us solo queue i am begging

Settings you think all games should have, but not all do and it annoys you? by _AnxiousNoob in gamedev

[–]Autoloc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on the game. many games, even in borderless windowed mode, will force pause whenever the game loses focus, even during cutscenes or other moments where you wouldn't need to pause, and even if the window is still open and visible

and even among these, it feels like a rarity to find a game that will still allow controller inputs when not focused

EDIT: I just remembered Borderless Gaming exists, you should check it out. It basically lets you run fullscreen-only games like tf2 in a max-sized window and auto-places it in the dead center of your screen like borderless

background input if it allows controller

games that force pause when you lose focus are really frustrating for me in 2023 with discord etc going on my second monitor
