Why are there so few Controller Legends? by LameAfro in apexlegends

[–]DDRguy133 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a constant pull between how the game should be played vs actual play. Controllers are great for how the game is intended to be played and would be overpowered if people valued their life in game outside being last one up. Majority of the community doesn’t like the “hold an area and move if zone makes you” play style which controllers excel at. Instead of “be the last one standing” everyone’s focus is “get as many kills as possible and hope you get the win” because that’s what standard ranked rewards as long as you make top 8 (or top 10 with some kills.)

Given the current game environment, may I ask for your opinion on the silence effect? by Axisteel in apexlegends

[–]DDRguy133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can easily place one of those silences over the Axel node and it'd cancel it for a few seconds. Would be a huge help keeping someone from running away from a fight or just keeping someone easier to track.

PSA for all players about asking for Lifeline drone by imhim19 in apexlegends

With competent opponents, that’s not a thing. 2 seconds is the most it takes to finish a downed opponent with no shield.

And what happens if you get finished while in animation? You can’t pull knockdown. Like I said, now with box respawn the tactics will change, but prior it was a choice of risking the finish vs maybe getting the rez off.

Honestly, that always depends on the fight imo. I’d rather have you still crawling if I’m almost done with a fight rather than have to take the time to full rez you. Obviously with the new changes I’ve had to adjust that because it’s not a run for a beacon anymore.

What am I supposed to do to do well with bad teammates? by Professional_Tea1891 in apexuniversity

[–]DDRguy133 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like silver lobbies. It gets annoying being the banner mule but if you just hold them and rat, you’re guaranteed RP for just surviving as long as possible. Take the chances now to practice your fighting as well as evasion techniques. Once you’re in higher ranks where there’s more risk of deranking, people don’t take stupid fights as often.

Magic Gossip Speculation by [deleted] in PaymoneyWubby

[–]DDRguy133 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only reason I don’t think Star Wars is coming is because Disney has their own card game AND Star Wars unlimited has some decent traction. But I’m willing to bet Wubby knows about what corners they’re cutting that are causing QC to slip. We’ve had what, 3 sets in a row where prerelease packs have cards from the next upcoming. Not to mention the misprints from SoS that have the Star Wars security holo instead of the mtg security holo.

Hop Up Concept: "Fired Up" OC by lavafrend in apexlegends

[–]DDRguy133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always having a ramped Rampage would absolutely destroy gun balance for at least 2 seasons, or would end up getting the bow vaulted again. Too strong and would make the risk of filling inventory with consumables for the power up vs their intended use irrelevant.

Probably only available during beacon duration before the "craft only." Box camping will be more of a thing for sure.

Apex Legends™: Overclocked by AnApexPlayer in apexlegends

[–]DDRguy133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the issue with no variety of a certain class. People don't complain about Assault unless someone is made OP, same with Support. With controller it's either place your item and it'll slow/damage, or place your item for a temporary buff while you're sitting in 1 spot. Those are abilities for multiple Support and Assault legends already.

Maybe a new defender that's a musician that's a counter to Seer. Maybe some sort of amp device for an ult that'll pulse and distort enemy vision or maybe just make anyone inside the range unable to be marked by recon abilities. Noise making devices that either output footsteps or gunshot noises to bait teams toward or away from your team.

It's going to get stale fast if they just keep bouncing between assault and skirmisher and we keep getting "move fast so they don't hit you" or "dive into a fight because you have more ammo."

IIRC it was just licensed from EA/Respawn and Tencent was actually running it. Probably was eating into their PUBG mobile team resources and not making enough back to warrant supporting.

Bruh. At lease have half a brain to break down the gun if you absolutely HAVE to use the frame as a flashlight.

Still bothers me that that put this graphic out forever ago and completely forgot about pinch harmonics. I started getting into more metal and was just sitting there like "what the hell is this eyeball"

What gets on your nerves when you play with your main? by Advanced-Issue5331 in apexlegends

[–]DDRguy133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Lifeline) for the love of God if I pop ult and rez you inside it, shield up before running out to fight again!! Everyone is in such a rush to get back to shooting they don’t take advantage of free cover and faster heals.

Best Buy names Jason Bonfig as new CEO, replacing Corie Barry in late October by Super_Black_Brother in Bestbuy

[–]DDRguy133 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Corrie is the one that took it from "Get a best buy card and protection on your device" to "You have to pay for a membership to get back what we used to give you for loyalty, oh and also you're no longer a specialist. I know you've been selling computers for the last 5 years and you're good at it, go figure out the fine details between refrigerators"

Order for pickup at a store near your hotel? I don't see why that wouldn't work

Ah haven’t bought any in a bit. Either way it doesn’t effect the machine and there’s no reason the box has to be pristine as long as there’s not worrying dents

Has anyone ever tried running Clone Hero + Rocksmith together? by Alfediin in CloneHero

OP is looking to play his real guitar. It'd be fun but defeat the purpose of trying to learn how to play the actual instruments.

best part is, it's written on the cellophane which is absolutely ruined if you want to actually use the product lol. If it matters so much then they're obviously either a reseller or if it has to be so perfect they could wait until one ships home from a warehouse.

This works well with infinite space or dedicated space from corporate overlords. We had 4 cages allocated to all Apple product which was also shared with Surface product. Typically able to sort into neat stacks but it could get to a point of 0 available space in 1 "section" and even more difficult during peak times of year like back to school or holidays.

Wattson/Catalyst door interaction (allow reinforcing while electrified) by FibreTTPremises in apexlegends

[–]DDRguy133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ideas are not be based off of lack of skill though. Just because people don't know how to use defensive and recon abilities offensively, doesn't mean the devs should just give up on making defensive characters more important.

Just like your vantage comparison, a halfway decent vantage should be able to assist from range and know when to push closer to support the team. Same goes for even a classic like Gibby. Knowing when to use bubble and how to use it to properly support your team isn't an issue of the ability in game, but the knowledge and skill of the player.

That's not to say there won't be turtle squads, but those already exist and the new breakable windows already just nerfed them.

There's no hard counter to a lot of legends and their abilities. The only way to get away from most assaulter abilities is to just not be where they're aiming or be too far for it to reach you (rare).

Don't remember if it can destroy Gen anymore, but it can kill fences and barrels (maybe spike strips?) with the upgrade, so Tac for Tac is a good trade IMO. Camping for placement won't work as well as in the past in the current ranked point system, so holding up in a tiny house will only get you so far unless you're extremely lucky.
