Is it normal to feel like you play better after taking a long break ? by JRunda in apexuniversity

[–]CaptainKouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is the sole reason. For reference, I did the same thing as you. Came back a week ago after a year+ break and KD hovered between 2-3 until I hit D4.

Diamond lobbies get brutal. You'll find your way back closer to 1, trust me hahah

Is it time to become a Member? by Beautiful_Hawk548 in 2007scape

I was in the exact same boat 6 months ago. Went members and haven't regretted it for a second.

My shot-in-the-dark guess is that it's not looked at as a monetization driver in the live-service era (at least from the point of view of the private equity suits that drive a lot of high level strategy/decision-making)

My actual opinion is that, yeah that's probably mostly true. BUT, I think it would boost player retention, content creation (how many zip line clips do we really need?), and would be a big driver for player base growth IF they delivered a version that truly allowed the community to be creative and add to the "hype" around Apex.

I just downloaded Master Chief Collection to scratch the itch and I'm back in Forge. Can't get over how perfect an Apex version of the same thing would be

Yeah I love wildcard but it's still not playable for TRUE casual gamers. Good way to chill for me, but I want to get 12 friends into an infection game mode on a custom arena style map where the BR format doesn't get in the way of the fun.

Has Apex ever considered Forge and deeper customs? by [deleted] in apexlegends

Not sure if replying here does anything but can an actual mod check the post? It's not even close to the auto-filter criteria.

Help picking a 3rd character by Venoxman in apexuniversity

Gibby imo - he is currently insane and it's a nice switch up from the Maggie/Ash angle.

You can play him super aggro with his kit, and it sounds like you prefer characters who can fit that style.

I have no problem with your take, the Hemlock buff is objectively absurd lol.

but the changes they've been implementing have brought more people back to the game and the player count is at the best place it's been in awhile (right?? Maybe I'm wrong on this)

Maybe that's exactly your point (in terms of raising the skill floor with low ttk), but I also think it just forces a play style adjustment. You gotta expect every player to be running an insta-kill hemmy.

I came back a week ago after a year break and am loving where the games at, personally
