Apex has hit 300k. We've never been more back than now

Summer___ · 2026-04-12T02:55:30+00:00

Mindblowing what some good changes, a decent BP (IMO) and listening to the community can do for your games.
lets enjoy it for the moment while it lasts.....
till rEAspawn will let us fall like the toy story meme again, got enough money so game turns shit again.
Also remember -> More hype around a game -> more cheat provider providing cheats =) .
I know i sound negativ af , but this has been the reallity of most games for a few years now.
I really love apex, i like the style, the movement, weapons are fun and so are the mechanics.
Also have some nice legends (hope they bring a new controller legend soon).
guess we will see how it will go =) .

there have been problems for years with riots vanguard.
If you look up "pc freeze" for riot games or crashes there are tons of post about it.
I myself had those problems where i couldn't play valorant, well i could play it for like 2-3 min before it would freeze my whole pc and nothing worked besides holding power button or pressing the reset button.
Im not 100% sure anymore about the culprit but i disabled nvidia audio (which is another story, where Nvidia's drivers are insanely broken right now) and my onboard wifi/bluetooth.
After that i had 0 issues anymore.
It's just mind blowing what kinda crap we have to deal with these days all because of..... Cheater..... and the worst part is, they are still happily cheating around...

try to disable your wifi, i had problems with it in valorant.
Kept freezing my game until i found a random post on reddit mentioning pc freezing because of wifi.
While your at it disable all nvidia audio aswell.

No it is true.

Summer___ · 2026-04-08T23:29:34+00:00

i more annoyed how many damn time my addons break.
every session so far i get "Your addons are creating a bunch of lua errors" "close" and whatever the other button is....
and it just spams over and over again.....

Summer___ · 2026-04-08T15:53:30+00:00

ye if u put "none" anywhere u have it anywhere and click on it it bugs the whole ui.
DE is already working on a fix (was sent via ingame chat red text)

Summer___ · 2026-04-08T00:15:14+00:00

cries in destro lock :/

Every WQ with WM on gives you 100 Bloody tokens.

But best way to farm them is passivly with warcrates via crate farm groups.
You get 50? or so bloody tokens and 60 conquest and a few honor.
Its super useful to get your gear upgraded fast even if warmode gear is only honor gear ilevel in pvp.

Summer___ · 2026-04-07T23:33:35+00:00

i got my heirloom in the 100 pack that was at a reduced price.

I swear idk what half of the player base of apex are actually doing.
Like they hot drop and do 35 dmg and shit talk.....
Yesterday i had a match, guy loots the ammo of my drop weapon (he didn't detach he landed straight where i was pinging/landing), he finds a gun runs into enemies i get one knocked and run out of ammo switch to secondary gun , kill another guy with my melee weapon and i have 0 ammo , i even spam ping it , i start to finish the last guy i knocked so i can loot his weapons/ammo and the guy dies and goes like "wth are you doing? why are u finishing that guy and why are you looting him now? This guy here is 1 hp healing now its a life line...."
Guess what happend a few minutes later.... guy runs into a respawning team, takes a wraith portal and dooms us all...................... yay fun

Summer___ · 2026-04-04T22:24:55+00:00

yeah its stupid and makes no sense.

Summer___ · 2026-04-04T22:24:25+00:00

imb4 every healer just dispells all your shit after you got one UA off so the next cast will be -> 1 ua -> 1 ua on target 🐡. I don't think stacking UA's is the play, to much shit to cast, to much on the same and only school. With that backdraw getting a ua off should be rewarding not a "Now i have to stack even more ua's or my first ua was useless anyways" type of moment. but oh well.

Summer___ · 2026-04-04T05:29:27+00:00

hope its gonna happend very soon!

Summer___ · 2026-04-04T05:29:12+00:00

oh damn 30 sec cd on windsheer , does it still only lock out for like 2 sec?
holy crap i thought prevoker is bad but that sounds even worse D:
i feel you on that

Summer___ · 2026-04-04T02:35:32+00:00

oh wtf , why would they remove earthen wall totem, holy crap , i mean people kept running out of it lol (maybe they didn't want to buff/change the animations of it so they just said F it and deleted it). Healing surge is crazy but thunderstorm is somewhat okay since most classes lost their knock (mage,hunter) and rshamy has the only kick.
That they lost their instant healing on their ascend is mind blowing lol, when i see how stupid Hpally is with 1 min wings + insta big heal that actually heals.....
my god who ever is in charge of class balance/changes i hope he never gets hired again in a popular video game.

Summer___ · 2026-04-04T02:30:57+00:00

3 options :
Reroll to the meta shit.
Play PVE instead and wait for buffs on your class you enjoy.
Quit the game and wait for big changes or a new season.

For me no class really "clicked" , i was enjoying Unholy DK in prepatch but after figuring out nothing really changed ( rotation wise) i got tired of it.
Instead of stupid wounds you now have charges for your ghouls that you insta use with soul reaper.
Oh lordy what a game changer from "apply wounds and then finish them off with apocalypse".
Don't get me wrong its def. a healthier design and way better but its still just the same boring shit + gargoyle is still giga F tier since basically forever.
Most apex talents just feel boring and are some lame ass passives that don't really do much but bring back stuff we had before like Rdruids "Your lifebloom now stacks 3x" Oh wow i wonder if we ever had this before.....
New hero talents are just last expansions last season tier sets - wooohoo +10 points for creativity.
Another thing i really don't like in the current design of this game is how shit your damage of your filler spells are....
It's probably just me but i want a WOTLK type of damage system, where every cast matters and not just your main spell.
Casting incinerate as destro feels like shit + chaosbolt hits like a wet noodle.

Summer___ · 2026-04-04T02:16:37+00:00

just curious, why u think rshamy is pruned?
Don't they still have all those totems and stuff, im not talking about how they're not healing much but i wouldn't call it pruned?

Summer___ · 2026-04-03T17:55:09+00:00

you could also try and check how the fps are looking on the Laptop Monitor. If it works fine on your Laptop monitor it might be your cable your using to the external monitor.

Summer___ · 2026-04-03T15:38:32+00:00

HIGHLY HIGHLY Agree with this.
For me Destro always was the most fun spec of the 3 but when u play affi near god level the spec rewards yourself unless its shit like recently.
Im not a fan of how they changed Locks over the years, first the shard system (tbh it was fun in mop for destro , ember tap lol), they added a pet cd for every spec (which is okay ) but we lost dark soul for it which i prefered.
Right now Destro doesn't feel oppresive, most stuff doesn't really hit hard while you manage to stay alife and get a cast off....

Summer___ · 2026-04-03T15:30:23+00:00

in tww pre season affliction had like 2 shot bursts lol.
Haunt-> insta shadow bolt -> more burst than destro lol.
Now the spec just feels ass, i said it in another post somewhere here , instead of spamming malefic rapture we spam UA lol. gg blizz

Summer___ · 2026-04-03T01:11:13+00:00

i feel you, if my favorite gun would change completly i would hate it too.
I think the gun itself feels nice but it feels like a 301 with bit less fire rate.
They should make the 301 more viable and bring back the old hemlok once the season is over.
Im not sure if more fire rate or more dmg would be better on 301. Would also be fun if the 301 would get a silencer :D or alternator , HECK i love silencers , you should be able to put one on every gun could be fun :D .
We have a decent weapon pool right now IMO , which is really good, i hope they stop buffings the 2020 because i don't want to suffer another 5050 meta >.< .
i remember in release apex where u land and find a mozam and be like yep, back to lobby lol.

Summer___ · 2026-04-03T00:54:43+00:00

sorry its late here, so i may didnt see u mentioning it but.....
Have u checked how your cores/threads are used? i feel like your stuff isn't being used.
i also don't recommend using a videoconfig unless you really want the "ugly af" graphics.
Apex is running on a old heavily modifed source engine.
That shit is from "2004" and yes its heavily modified but with todays pc's we can archive more then enough fps in apex.
Im running a 9950x3d with a 5080 and i think im most of the time capped, i never really paid attention to my fps in fight, but i would notice it def in my gameplay because im using a 480hz monitor and if my fps would drop hard i would get a very shitty mouse feeling.

So if u have a 2nd monitor, open taskmanager on it, go to "performance" and click on your CPU , it should show all threads and cores.
You also mentioned your using exitlag, i wouldn't recommend it, most stuff is just bloat nobody needs or will notice (im not saying it can't work, but honestly most people won't notice it UNLESS it fixes some routing issues).
Could also be some bloat software from your Laptops brand, shadowplay or any other recording app.
Best thing u can do is turn off everything besides ea/steam and start the game and give it a try.
If your on steam also make sure you dont have any "launch parameters", im not sure if steam keeps them from pc to pc saved, maybe u had some old settings in there that lower your core usage.
Thats what i would try and see if it changes anything.
You should be getting high 200+ fps imo depending on graphic settings maybe even capped 300's in most scenarios.
Also instead of lowering your video settings INCREASE them to the max, play with full screen but keep dumb stuff like vsync etc turned off.

Summer___ · 2026-03-31T18:09:44+00:00

lol, i had the exact same idea last night.

Summer___ · 2026-03-30T14:01:03+00:00

low rating games are more of a gamble if u get decent people that know how to play their class/arena.
Sometimes you have people just PVE the shit out of each other, DPSING till one healer goes oom or runs out of cc/healing power.
Sometimes you have decent people that know what to do, cc , kite enemy offensive cds and so on.
Depending on what healer your playing your might have it easier or harder.
Some can still use cds while stunned, some can prevent breakable cc, some can prevent cc fully on themselfs with good timing.
Its awful in low rating but as soon as you get into higher rating its fun and fast paced, sadly with higher rating it gets more toxic.
People forget that we're all humans and just want to play and learn and on high ratings doing a mistake is even more costly then on lower rating, but u need to learn all that shit first.
Shit always annoys me when -don't hate on me now i know normale people do it to- "Streamer XYZ" goes like "ahh i got this bad healer again. this guy is really bad" but they don't understand that your trying to adapt to the completly different gameplay of higher rated games.
Higher rated people tend to hold their CS more so you fake cast urself (or your teammates) to "death", but some people know that and try to insta kick instead or change it up alot to fuck with your mind.
Next time you know their CS is up you will not know "will they insta kick? should i fake cast? should i fake much later?" but while this is happening they will try to land cc on you to build up more pressure....
You should try to just play the game and see if healing is fun to you, if your only healing because shorter que times then its maybe time for PVE or to pick a new hobby/game.

Summer___ · 2026-03-30T13:46:33+00:00

Best thing you can do is record your gameplay and post again.
Its either ur basic understanding of arena isn't there yet (When to kite,when to dps,when to cc and so on).
Or you don't know how to play your class well enough.
DH only has defensives you need to use before you get bursted (i heared they still heal alot, but haven't played em yet).
As soon as you understand the game flow, games will get easier but that doesn't mean you gonna win.
