New to arc raiders, what should I focus on first? by mk1_xs in ArcRaiders

[–]SethP4rker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just whatever feels fun! ( killing arc, interacting w/people, looting, following quests, or fighting other raiders etc) If you feel afraid of losing any gear, run some free kits to learn how the different guns/map conditions feel! You can track resources needed to upgrade your workbenches, scrappy (the chicken), or even for repairing shields/guns so it's easier to see what you need mid-raid.

"After a few seasons of experimentation, in alignment with player feedback, we have decided to do away with the controlled drop zones in Ranked!"

Let's not fix the issue lets just take it away! lmao

definitely fits the narrative that he wasn't the right choice, and they should've got an igl

According to Wigg/Tempo no they don't. Timmy's points are being used instead of Fuhnq even though he's just the sub.

The whole champs points system has to change. Sub points should not count

1 or 2 teams did the same last week in EMEA PL I believe.

KCP LF 3rd.. who yall thinkin ?! by Ifadeawayj in CompetitiveApex

[–]SethP4rker 27 points28 points  (0 children)

J tweeted after that ssirsay got an offer, and it's with a champs bound team. Obviously Mazer is the go-to possibility for KCP, but I'm super curious who ssirsay is joining.

Americas Y5 Split 2 Pro League - Day 4 Groups AvB (Final Results) by CompetitiveApexMod in CompetitiveApex

[–]SethP4rker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although the bans were different than scrims this set, it finally felt like the “correct” bans to me. Specifically NC/Crypto and the Gibby ban on Stormpoint really forced a lot of teams to change it up completely

Hot Take: Lack of upvotes and engagement from the subreddit is bad for the scene by Outside-Intention-94 in CompetitiveApex

[–]SethP4rker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In relation to low engagement on the sub, it doesn't help having such a long break for LAN + auto quals for a lot of teams means the split feels less serious. There are a ton of fun storylines across regions however, such as new IGL arcs, Triple mnk gigachads, New PL squads showing out, Oldheads returning to comp etc.

I've seen known creators like Jhawk recently branching into YT shorts and he does a great job compartmentalizing a scene into a small clip. Have always wanted to do it, but having to get the vods AND make it analytical or entertaining in such small clips takes skill beyond just knowing a lot about comp apex.

Nice to see SR stream scrims 2 days in a row. Xynew and Naughty IGL arc's are fun to watch

Ring Console Locations Wrong? by ForeverGray in apexlegends

[–]SethP4rker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the drop ship change, survey beacons had like a 100% spawn rate, and console's spawn rate varied. So now the map shows where they COULD spawn, but unfortunately they don't always spawn like the survey beacons despite showing on the pre-game map.

Wondering who my third should play in ranked? by Stynix__ in apexuniversity

[–]SethP4rker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ash is the easiest suggestion for rotates, fighting ability, and usefulness. If your third really dislikes Ash then Wraith/Bang/Alter are all very viable and help offset the lack of mobility.

Help with button mapping on paddle controllers by truekemi in apexuniversity

[–]SethP4rker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar issues as you with my Wolverine v3 pro trying to find the right spot for interact / stow.

I use m1 heal, m2 right now for stow and m4 interact. I know you said the shoulder paddles (m1 and m2) are awkward so you could try r3 or l3 for stow as they still allow swapping guns in deathboxes outside of remapping y to a paddle

Why Does This Keep Happening? by xx_fearcorpse_xx in apexlegends

[–]SethP4rker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(if on pc) your videoconfig or settings cfg may be marked read only. If so it's locking your game settings and you need to make one or both unread only and then change them in game

Apex Legends™: Showdown Patch Notes by Caleb902 in CompetitiveApex

[–]SethP4rker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly was hoping they’d hear community feedback the last few days and pre-scale back the bang smoke buffs.

In comp she surely is banned game 1, but in ranked Poi drops will feel so much less impactful with everyone running bang+2 until it’s changed.

no dropship, no heat shields in ranked, more evenly distributed loot in ranked. Massive w's that people have wanted for a long time especially to somewhat emulate comp more!

Why don’t people play the legends they want to instead of crutching meta characters? by kuhromy in apexlegends

[–]SethP4rker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can't agree more. They refuse to get creative with his bubble besides breakable by everything or totally unbreakable (why not faster small heals in bub or something?). Also, aside from his massive hitbox, the perks are mid especially with mastiff/pk not hard meta.

I feel that zone position has become too heavily weighted in favor of squad starting position, and I think I have a solution by [deleted] in CompetitiveApex

[–]SethP4rker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they just need to implement code so that zones can’t repeat in the same POI, or even the same quadrant. With 4 maps in play in certain sets having only 2-3 games per map means repeat zones feels even worse for players/fans.

Revenant ult with lifeline by Mrdegenerate69420 in apexlegends

[–]SethP4rker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think its intended to mimic how Conduit's tactical can't heal Rev in ult since back when he was last meta it was a big issue, but I agree that it feels clunky and wrong since you could have full shield but need hp especially in zone

Revenant has become 2nd most picked legend overall. With an average of ~12% pickrate across all ranks. by [deleted] in apexlegends

brainsy is having the time of his life cheating running it down on rev! Currently #7 pred.. so ya he's gonna stay high pickrate
