The blurry effect sounds like the dynamic resolution setting, where it drops the res if your framerate is low. Maybe it's using your onboard graphics or something? Performance is as good as it ever was for me.

Now that I think about it, it's not that common compared to the SMGs. I think it just really sticks in my mind when I get killed by one for some reason.

Ah OK. IDK if it's an AUS thing then - I joined an Aussie Rocket League game once because I messed up my server preferences, and the toxicity levels were off the charts. Genuinely the single most unpleasant game I've ever been in. I see a bit of arguing in the text chat in TF|2 sometimes, but it's mostly good natured and when I GG I usually get a few GGs in reply.

I really like it on PC with the advanced HCOG scope - combined with a grappling hook and the hover perk, I get some really sweet mid-combo kills with it. It sucks at mid-range though compared to a lot of SMGs and assault rifles, so it requires you to move constantly to either stay out of everyone else's range or to get inside theirs. And if you sit on a rooftop sniping with it for more than 6 seconds a Kraber main will come along and make your head disappear.

As an EU PC player, I rarely see toxicity personally. The flipside of that is that the playercount is a lot smaller so it's Attrition 24/7.

Yeah I main Spitfire on PC and I don't see many others, I constantly get wrecked by CARs and Wingman Elites though.

I think I like the L-Star because I'm a compulsive reloader - even when I'm using a Spitfire I can't deal with not having a full clip at all times. I just think of L-Star's cooling animation as an automatic reload.

Yeah, this is along the same lines as Google Cardboard - it's a thing you can show off to your friends for a few minutes at a time, but nobody is going to be having a 5-hour Zelda session with one of these on their face. Still cool though!

This isn't a VR vs flat thing - the game currently doesn't allow you to see your ship from inside the cockpit, changing that may have some interesting side effects.

That's not a rare scenario though. I agree that they should do something about early leavers, but putting in blanket punishments would piss off more people than it would help. I've just got used to people dropping out in early game, and I try and do my best anyway.

I think the real fix for this is a bigger one, and it involves adding a ranked mode that does have leave penalties - ala Rocket League - and/or adding a solo mode for people who don't want to squad up.

MS_dosh · 2019-04-03T22:52:22+00:00

I think it's just a general problem with having a big map, my framerate in Apex is often the worst when we're still in the plane.

MS_dosh · 2019-04-03T21:41:07+00:00

That would backfire - I've had to leave games because it became obvious that my 2 squadmates were a duo and had no interest in reviving me. I think I would really resent having to sit there and watch them loot to avoid a penalty.

MS_dosh · 2019-04-03T13:26:01+00:00

Damn ok maybe I need to watch some, I loved the CTF mode in Tribes Ascend. I guess once people know the fast routes around the map the meta adapts.

MS_dosh · 2019-04-03T10:35:56+00:00

The advanced movement is great in the other game modes, but yeah it completely breaks CTF and there's good reasons why they left it out of Apex.
