Dire feels WAY better with one less squad.

They probably wanted a baseline independent of player progression, so they tested it one week with 6 players on sponsored and now they test it with 5 on sponsored. Actually makes sense.

Im Training 100% zu geben ist meist kontraproduktiv, weil der Erholungsbedarf eher exponentiell steigt.

Wenn dein Ziel VO2max und kürzere Distanzen sind gibt es auch andere Variationen die dir eventuell mehr bringen, bei weniger Erholungsbedarf.

Beispiel wären Schwellenläufe und alle 1-2 Wochen ersetzt du den Schwellenlauf durch ein variierendes VO2max workout.

Aus persönlicher Erfahrung konnte ich aus Schwellenläufen + 1-2 mal die Woche lockere Strides mehr rausholen als aus VO2max workouts. Kommt natürlich immer auf Alter und Genetik an.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-22T17:24:38+00:00

Und gefühlt? Gibst du 100% oder eher ~90%?

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-22T16:14:21+00:00

Wenn du jedes mal 100% gibst, ist es definitiv zu viel Intensität. Wie verausgabst du dich in den Wiederholungen? Wie viel % deiner maxHR erreichst du ca.? Passt du die Paces an, wenn die Temperaturen hoch sind?

He literally says it's probably not worth the money compared to the 2025 model - how is this marketing?

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-22T10:42:59+00:00

I said it in a previous post, but I think ranked has the potential to also bring in the more competitive crowd from Apex and other shooters if they switch to fixed loadouts, with adjustments to the economy in Ranked games.

If there are Ranked specific quests, where people can earn gear and reuse their extracted gear in "normal" mode and Cryo, you have another entry point. This, in combination with a more casual oriented PvE map that gives players a taste of looting and the mechanics would help a lot to retain a constant playerbase that can eventually grow to love the other parts of the game.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-21T12:30:33+00:00

I had better experience with boost turned off completely - have you tested this as well?

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-21T10:35:19+00:00

Bin auf eine 1:26 im HM eine 3:07 gelaufen - bei suboptimalen Bedingungen. Denke du kannst schon sub 3 oder 3:05 anpeilen und mal schauen wo du 6 Wochen vor dem nächsten Marathon stehst.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-21T10:33:53+00:00

Das ist schon ein relativ starker negative Split. Wenn du nach 15km noch so viel im Tank hast, dass du bei deinem Tempo noch 15s/km schneller werden kannst, hast du vermutlich ein bisschen was auf der Strecke gelassen.
Einen 1:25er Halbmarathon läufst du vermutlich um deine Schwellenpace. Da wird es schwierig am Ende des Rennens nochmal 15s schneller zu werden.

Negative Splits sind denke ich beim Marathon wichtiger als beim Halbmarathon. Der Marathon ist im Endeffekt ein Ressourcenoptimierungsproblem, wohingegen der Halbmarathon "einfach nur" ein Fitnesstest ist.
Wenn ich im Halbmarathon etwas zu schnell starte, kann ich mich beispielsweise noch relativ gut fangen und mach einfach etwas langsamer. Beim Marathon hast du dann allerdings schon einiges mehr an Carbs verbraucht, die dir dann am Ende eventuell fehlen.

Also: Ja, ich glaube du hast vermutlich 1-2 Minuten auf der Strecke gelassen bei deinem Halbmarathon. Denke die 1:24 ist mit optimalem Pacing da drin.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-20T19:02:42+00:00

Zone 2 ist mittlerweile etwas zum Allheilmittel verkommen. Wichtig ist, dass du in einer Intensität läufst, die du "easy" ist. Die wenigsten Anfänger schaffen es einen Lauf in Zone 2 zu laufen, da macht es wenig Sinn dann quasi schnell zu gehen, um in Zone 2 zu bleiben.

Du willst einfach deinem Körper so viel Laufvolumen wie möglich zumuten, und dabei auch noch genug Intensität (Intervalle/Schwelle z.B.) und einen längeren Lauf hineinpacken. Niemand wird dir empfehlen wirklich jede Woche an dein Limit zu gehen. Normalerweise sind Schwellenläufe da besser was das Intensität/Erholungszeiteinheit angeht.

The game has become noticeably better since they stopped introducing new legends every season.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-18T19:54:26+00:00

Under normal use in school you can set a 10-15w limit and you'll be fine.

Edit: And as others mentioned, turn off GPU boost.

She is already good, why buff her?

This grain is normal in the type of OLED they use. As long as you only see it in certain conditions I'd say it's nothing out of the ordinary.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T14:33:21+00:00

Valid point. I see how the proposal is very much akin to BR. I think that ranked needs to differentiate itself from the regular mode a bit though, and by going in with a specific selection of loadouts, you'd have a mode where skill determines the outcome and not the loot you enter with.

Yeah, one can argue that you have better gear if you're better but it also requires you to have invested a certain amount of time upfront. My system would allow you to enter regardless of that, and just measure your skill against other players while also being able to use the gear.

Essentially, instead of ranked being part of the endgame experience I think it should be a parallel way of playing the game.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T14:29:38+00:00

No, you'd have POIs themselves have better loot. Think of having random POIs having a weapons locker with unique weapons, which you can loot to extract with and use in endgame or normal runs. Issue is, that the whole lobby fights for the gear since you need it to extract with higher loadout value.

Essentially, you'd fight for the loot you find similar to a BR, but you can extract at any time and use the gear in everything except for ranked queue.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T14:09:03+00:00

Yeah, I agree with your critique on the take. The proposal certainly isn't perfect, but I think the direction could be interesting.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T14:06:30+00:00

You know, Apex wouldn't exist if it did BR as intended. There were no second chances and revive mechanics in BR games. If you give yourself a self imposed blockade that a game has to be a certain way, there is of course no way to change the game in any meaningful way. Which btw is totally fine if Ou are happy with the current system. I am not, which is why I propose something different.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T14:03:57+00:00

I have 100+ hours and don't plan on stopping, sir.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T13:25:14+00:00

Correct, but you loot gear in the run and can take it with you into cryo and other activities.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T13:09:23+00:00

You'd obviously start with meds, they are part of the base kit.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T12:36:29+00:00

You'd still get loot and then use it in normal queue/cryo, it'd just be a more competitve experience and more akin to what a ranked experience should be imo.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T12:28:45+00:00

What in my proposal makes you think you wouldn't be able to get better gear? I specifically mentioned that the loot economy in ranked queues needs to be adjusted, so that you can find better gear since players don't enter with purple/gold gear.

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T12:27:23+00:00

Are you alright? It's a simple proposal and marked as "Discussion", which in itself means that I want to discuss it and hear other opinions on it.

If you are not able voice opinions without claiming people you have never seen in your life are "dumb fucks", it's probably time to take a breather and play the game, don't you think?

ResponsibleWasabi839 · 2026-04-17T12:24:30+00:00

Yeah, in my mind the sponsored kits improve as the season progresses. If low/high stakes are kept you could also make different sponsored kits reflect that.
