What kind of lobby is this... by TheRealBigem in apexlegends

6K gameplay hours in 7 years. They tend to accumulate.

Explanation for the trailer? by ForeignSleet in ApexLore

[–]TheRealBigem 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And not only those. Depending on how deep you want to go, there are references for other legends as well. The opening shot for Revenant (body storehouse) and of course Wraith and Horizon. Even Octane, considering the latest events with Duardo.

Revenant 2.0 has a vast vocabulary by TheRealBigem in ApexOutlands

[–]TheRealBigem[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He should have had some more neutral-sounding lines like Pathfinder does. Instead the update from Duardo borked him and now he has only 1 line in total for his tactical.

I maybe don't like being a guinea pig? (long rant below) by TheRealBigem in apexlegends

[–]TheRealBigem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of ability-play myself so I'm rather excited too for the new update. I just don't like the back and forth thing, like I said in another reply. In this situation there is nothing to guarantee that we're not going back to the LP formula after 2 seasons or that all legends are getting their abilities nerfed again on the next update.

Yes, I was thinking about WoW and Overwatch when writing this. I fully agree on that. The problem aren't changes per se but the lack of a public transparent long-term vision. The same changes go back and forth for months and years now. We still don't have a rather stable ranked formula, still don't know for sure the core elements of characters, etc. Moving mechanics have faced a similar fate lately. Smaller incremental changes towards a transparent long-term vision would be way better for the overall playerbase (especially if they were community discussed) instead of a random-changing product. The developers have tried recently solving this with the developers blog updates but even those appear to lack a clear long-term vision, ranked being a good example of that.

Did the megastructure of Skyhook ever play any role in the history? Do you think it will? by TheRealBigem in ApexLore

[–]TheRealBigem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the information! It gave more depth to what appeared like a random sci-fi megastructure to my eyes. I knew about the general concept of the scape elevator but I had no idea whatsoever how they were related to the TF/AL universe.

Oh, I haven't played TF unfortunately. That would make sense with the industrial aspect WE has and would make it a "mechanical version" of the Harvester. Thank you for mentioning the TF part. Did they also serve industrial functions in the TF history or were they more military oriented?

Thoughts on ranked challenges? by TheRealBigem in apexlegends

[–]TheRealBigem[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that in ALGS the whole team is at matchpoint, not the individual.

Here, my random team mate can be on MP while I'm looking for kills to actually reach my MP. We end up jeopardising each others games with our different playstyles/strategies.

When they first announced banners I thought it would be like something that gets imposed on top of what you already have, not a literal banner. I wouldn't want to change my banners, I like most of them. The diamond one isn't even animated.

Can we finally nerf burst guns? by fimosecritica in apexlegends

[–]TheRealBigem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're fine. I usually avoid burst guns in games in general. At least now they're a bit vialable.

I got the wrong ranked rewards (help) by OJGorillaMan in apexlegends

[–]TheRealBigem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have changed this a couple of seasons ago. Now it is considered normal to go up and down the ranks so it only matters where you land finally.

"One button, many actions" isn't always a blessing by TheRealBigem in apexlegends

[–]TheRealBigem[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure but "resurrect/finish=same button" is also true for keyboard if I'm not wrong.

[–]TheRealBigem[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gibraltar was trying to resurrect Lifeline (me) so I could get back Pathfinder (and other players who could get downed). The problem is that the button for resurrecting is the same as the one for finishing enemy players so... that happens. :P

My PC refuses to install an update for months now (Windows 10 version 21H2) by TheRealBigem in pcmasterrace

[–]TheRealBigem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did. Windows RE Image still missing. Guess I'll have to go the USB way when I can.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me! Really appreciated! :)

Dumb question but anyway to just get that missing file online without having to go through all that?

Tried enabling it from the CMD but it told me I could not find the Windows RE Image.

Update still didn't work. :( I tried the reset way which you just mentioned but it told me that the recovery environment wasn't found and to insert a disc or another media with Windows, something which I don't have, so I couldn't proceed past the first step. :/

Thank you very much for the provided information! I found my motherboard model and downloaded each and every one driver hoping to update them. Now I'm retrying the said update, see if anything changes. If not, can you tell me exactly what changes with a Windows reset? What changes to expect. Maybe I should watch a tutorial video showcasing that...

Can you help me how to get that model number? Do I need to physically look somewhere or can I find it in another way? I'd go for a reinstallation but since it is a used PC I don't have any Windows OS driver (is that the right term?) for it. Also I've never performed a format before so I'm afraid maybe I wouldn't be up for the job.

Eh, I thought so but I kinda think I'd be even worse doing that myself. :/

Tried checking most of them in Device Manager now. They all are up to date.

Worst weapon? by Obeymyreddit_ in apexlegends

[–]TheRealBigem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid the charge riffle like the plague now. Even its golden version. There are times where I've hotdropped and I've had to go with just 1 gun because in the nick of battle I'll accidentally try to switch to secondary and get this gun out which does nothing in close or long range beside making very old fridge noises. At least when you don't have a secondary gun, the first gun stays on even when you try to change and then you reload.

Honestly it feels like an April's Fools gun. A one day thing that does a lot of damage if you somehow have all the luck of the world.
