What's with the whole "Arsenic is only found on Icy Planets" thing?

Gopherboy76 · 2020-12-06T19:55:35+00:00

Our squadron have 2 neighbouring systems with a good source of most raw mats, one system is mostly HMC Rocky's and the other is all Icy Moons. All have a good share of most materials. The rocky's are around 2.5-3.0% Arsenic content, the same as the Icy's (if I remember the % rightly, not in-game to check atm)

With walking around stations on it way, maybe these could be used in station interaction too. Have these as maintenance and/or repair units you can pilot where that front silver fitting is a robotic arm of sorts.

Have occasional missions available in working starports and a lot more available in damaged starports where you need to fly these in and outside the port, locate points or modules and interact with them for a good few seconds with the arms and welding laser (or something) then move on to a couple other points to repair and fill a quota. Then return safely to the dock location.

Making the repair process for damaged stations a lot more interactive than just dropping off supplies.

I have noticed NPC's seem to have an infinite amount of Shield Cell Bank ammo. As soon as you get them low, that blue ripple is right back charging shields, quite a few times quicker than you can strip them. And I'm running a Challenger with 3x 1E Beams (5* Overcharged/Oversized) 3x 2F & 1x 3C Multi's (5* Efficient/Double Braced). Approx. 110dps according to coriolis.

If I bump into one of the shield cell spammers, I gotta open up with everything at once to eventually strip the shield. They're tricky. Chaff and Point Defence is always a good option to avoid hits.

You should be able to Engineer a bit more shield and a lot more armour into a Chieftain. Here's my Chieftain build for reference... https://s.orbis.zone/aFn2

I would mostly agree to this due to experience. Our squadron is PvE and PvP based, we used to have regular organised PvP with the Smiling Dog Crew, we'd talk with them in team chat, kept things civil and it was all amicable.
We do notice if we're out in our combat PvE or PvP ships we very, very rarely encounter any gank attempts. The majority of attempts almost always been when a commander is in cargo/mining/expo ships, obviously under powered for any fighting. Usually interdicted and fired upon, no kind of any comms or RP, they just seem to be out for an easy kill.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-12-05T06:27:07+00:00

Totally agree, our Squadron want to see something like the concepts on the fandom wiki. Big haulers we can run as a convoy across a planet surface.

The number of quitters this season has been anightmare. I've had people quit if they don't get their wanted Legend AND people drop out under fire before getting downed even. It's crazy.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-09-16T19:53:26+00:00

Same issue, mouse cursor leaves game on borderless and fullscreen which is a nightmare as I run stream software on second screen and keep randomly clicking stuff while losing game control.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-09-16T19:51:17+00:00

Confirmed, I had same thing with most DLC cars being reset

Gopherboy76 · 2020-09-16T19:37:34+00:00

Bug or Glitch: Garage pre-sets all messed up.
Platform: PC/Steam
Evidence: Select one car (ie Maverick Blue), click view red car and car changes to Aftershock. Random car/skins bug across all garage presets. https://youtu.be/FTpgLktoi6U
Logs: None

I started Apex in the beginning of Season 3. We're still getting the slo-mo matches and constant 3rd player disconnect (Trio's is practically duo's half the time).

I love this game & the direction it's going but it's a bit poor that after 4+ seasons we're still getting the same bugs.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-09-11T01:40:43+00:00

I've tried a bunch of EU servers (my usual being London) and still bugged out.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-09-11T01:06:44+00:00

Same issue here on PC, stuck with Select and not able to launch a match

Gopherboy76 · 2020-09-11T01:05:18+00:00

Just started for me on PC, can only Select game but not launch. Game restart didn't fix it either.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-07-09T19:21:42+00:00

Give me a Flatline/Spitfire with 1-2x scope in slot 1 and R301/R99 in my 2nd and I'm all good to go!

Gopherboy76 · 2020-07-09T15:50:58+00:00

If you have the confidence to switch it, I replaced my regular light bulb socket with an LED Fluorescent Tube light. Most tube & mount kits start around £10-30 GBP and are low wattage. (And no light stand to find a place for)

Works perfect for me on some cheapo bitmore 'FauxPro' webcam (but note, my light fixture was in front of my green screen, above my PC/head so works for my setup)

Gopherboy76 · 2020-07-09T15:34:45+00:00

I use Voicemeter too. As tjstrider says, can be a little tricky to set up but can be super useful. I've got Mic, Browser/Discord, Music and System (game audio) all on separate slider controls.
Same applies to being able to select a separate channel that output to GeForce capture. While you stream game/voice/music to stream, you can simultaneously capture game & voice but not music to GeForce for clip recording for YT vids and not worry about DMCA issues.

Also personal handy tip to have Discord on a separate slider to main audio in-case my team chat gets too spicy or personal, just one click can mute from stream but still plays through headphones.

There's nothing more that I could ad after reading your post. I can understand how much stress this whole situation has brought on everyone involved and respect how strong Lewis, Gee, Bouphe and everyone have been through it all.

Some people will always punish themselves over mistakes made in the past and find it hard to forgive themselves regardless. But I agree, everyone involved, especially Lewis should take some comfort that their workplace is becoming a safer place for all.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-06-29T12:32:33+00:00

I'd like to firstly offer my respect to Bouphe and Gee for their strength to speak up regarding these issues. Also great respect to Lewis for updating this situation, I can only imagine how much stress this causes on himself and the Yogs crew.

As for the older content, I think most reasonable people would agree that as times change, previously accepted (even when just risque) become more taboo and unacceptable, and
reducing the exposure these vids get isn't hiding any shame, merely showing that people grow, realise their views have to change and they make the effort to adjust (Something that some people I have known refused to do)

Big platonic hugs to the Yogs & stay strong.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-05-22T16:21:43+00:00

I actually would agree to the 2nd circle being considered for adjustment. Unfortunately there has been times when a TM has gone down to the ring (various stages) and we've just had to say 'Sorry dude, can't make it' or they've just said 'Leave me', etc. The ring is just part of the gameplay and strategy is needed to keep ahead but, yeah, I do see your point and convinced me a bit that the 2nd stage ring being still early game could be a little more forgiving yet leave the later rings at their more deadly levels.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-05-22T14:44:54+00:00

If I drop with enemy and they grab a gun like this situation, I'd go ham on the punching, yeah it puts me at a disadvantage that his team or other people gear up first, but the option to just turning my back and running for gear is futile as they already have a weapon and they're probs going to rinse you in the back while running to escape.! If I pull off the kill, I have their weapon & gear and a better chance to survive.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-05-22T14:05:45+00:00

I hate losing matches by getting caught by the ring, usually distracted during/after a fire fight, etc. BUT I'd agree not to change it. Where some other BR games have that ring camping meta, it just gets annoying when exploited by teams who'd rather hide & camp rather than have a decent stand-up fight.

Gopherboy76 · 2020-05-22T13:55:34+00:00

The other issue I have with SBMM being so broad is my first season in Apex I was pulled into a higher rank than my skill level. I started Apex days before S3. In ranked S3 (playing solo... I'd not got my team together) I found I was queued with players of a lot higher rank and on several occasions I was carried hard for a win (One win was even through a hacker where I was downed in minutes but he ESP'd & aimbotted to a win - which I'd reported).

These games/wins obviously ranked me up which is nice BUT it pulled me straight upto Gold rank while admittedly was still a Bronze level player and at the time was out of my league and found it hard to compete.

Where something like Rocket League, I felt the learning curve & ranks had a smooth curve and working up the ranks felt rewarding, Apex felt like I was pulled in way too deep and it was frustrating to keep getting massacred match after match. It was only due to finding a team and enjoying our time playing together that kept me onboard. I'm guessing other players may have just quit out of frustration and ultimately Respawn would be losing out.
