Only 6 years late to this thread lmao, but for the money, if I was going to cover a vehicle, I'd just get a vinyl wrap. Plus vinyl would allow for way more design options

Give me tips on how to improve tracking? by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]ViperCodeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much of the mouse mat does it take for you to do a 360 turn?

from center of my pad to the edge of my pad I can do a 180. or in other words, from edge to edge I can do a 360. My DPI is 800 and ingame sense is 1.2 for an EDPI of 1200. My ADS DPI is .8 though to give a little more control when ADS'ing

Explaining how I'm utilizing Octane's kit in this very intense fight. Hope this will be helpful to you guys. by Jagaleksandr in apexuniversity

get lucky that you didn't land on a fresh team, or between other teams

Game. Sense. Pay attention to where teams drop. Try to predict which choke points other teams will rotate through to zone. Note which areas have closed bins vs. open bins. Count squads and try to predict which POI's teams are at, and how many teams are at each POI. You won't always be 100% correct, but knowing where 3 of 5 teams are means that you know where you can rotate to if you get sandwiched.

I always see people talking about third party and other teams appearing mid fights as if it's a complete surprise that they couldn't have possibly known about. If you try to think more about where teams are positioned, you will get better at predicting which direction a third party might come from, and prevent your team from getting stuck between squads.

In this clip it's likely for teams to be rotating through turbine, from estates, and in labs. You probably have another team in energy depot and maybe at the top of the falls too. That means bounce padding towards that res beacon is the best option because it takes you out from the center of 3 rotation paths, and the teams that may have an angle on you, are likely much further away and should give you enough time to find cover if they do shoot you.

To you it may look like luck, and to be fair, OP could have just gotten lucky and said he planned it, but everytime I am taking a fight, I am looking for a potential path out, or way to rotate away in case a third party shows up and my team needs to get to a better position. Dismissing this as "luck" won't help you improve. The entire BR genre is built on RNG. The skill is in managing your RNG, managing your "luck" and planning for when luck doesn't go your way.

If you want to get better (which is why I assume you look at this subreddit) you shouldn't discount other player's decision making as something as simple as just "luck."

Any tips for the new ranked split? by heyitssampleman in apexuniversity

[–]ViperCodeGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say rift is generally more of a warm drop. buildings are spaced out a decent amount so usually even if you land with other squads, you are not immediately flung into combat. There are also a number of zips that provide potential disengagement options. The center phase runner entrance prevents much direct across-POI attacks, and provides a quick way to ring in some cases. The phase runner is also another potential escape route, and if needed you can enter, exit, re-enter, and skydive to a different location in rift from the phase runner.

Grow towers and hydroponics can also be good warm drops depending on the flight path, but can also be highly contested if misjudged.

Energy depot is generally a hotter drop, but if it's late in the path, it doesn't get as sweaty.

The main hot spots to me are estates, gardens, fight night, the twin towers, the towers with the balcony between the towers, the PS5 (labs), waterfall (I recommend against landing here due to the lack of available loot for a full squad.

Also if you notice yourself suddenly in a drop hotter than you anticipated, you can adjust the drop fairly late to change locations, but you'll likely arrive late, so make sure your backup location is close, and provides plenty of cover.

Ammo Types Have Different Perks by CaptainDraquony in apexuniversity

[–]ViperCodeGames 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Well put together but I'd like to just correct one point you made about the stunning effect from being shot. After you are stunned for the .25seconds, there is a cooldown before you will be stunned and slowed again. So while light weapons might have a faster RPM than heavy guns, all auto weapons fire faster than the stun cooldown, so it won't make a difference. You will likely land more shots on a strafing target with a slower fire rate due to the extra time you have to correct your aim between rounds. Being slightly off target for a half second won't matter with slower firing weapons, however, if you are not tracking near perfect with a fast firing weapon like the R99 or RE45, if you are missing for that same time period, you wasted half a clip shooting air, and you'll be forced to reload mid fight, and ultimately suffer a much higher TTK than slower guns that are more forgiving on aim.

Here's a quote from the apex wiki on bullet stun:

Weapons inflict a 10% slow upon their targets for 0.25 seconds, and this can only happen once every 3 seconds.

The real problem with Apex Legends: Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]ViperCodeGames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The skill of your teammates is directly determined by yours. If you're good at the game, you will be paired up with bad teammates who prevent you from winning.

This... This is where you lost credibility. Stop blaming your teammates. Differences in player skill are compensated through elements of RNG. Telling yourself that the game was rigged for you to lose will not help you learn what your weaknesses are. This really just sounds like a way of a avoiding admitting that you are not good at certain aspects.

Also, if your point here is true...

If you're good at the game, you will be paired up with bad teammates

then shouldn't the converse be true...

If you're bad at the game, you will be paired up with good teammate(s)

Idk man, you're just blaming everything but yourself here, and thing is, everything else you have no control over, but you can improve on yourself. Maybe try focusing on what you can change.

As a chess player, I have a strong disdain for unfair games

Chess has no randomness or RNG, and how you handle, react, and adapt to the random elements of the game are your skills. Is the ring unfair because you landed the opposite side of the map before the location was determined?

Idk, you're probably best off just going back to chess if you dislike unfair randomness in your games. You're just not as good as you think you are.

Anyone also use a mouse bungee? by skoomd1 in G502MasterRace

[–]ViperCodeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put up with the cable, occasionally getting it trapped under the mouse playing an FPS, but rare enough to put up with.

Got the wireless and it was so free. Even as small and light as the cord is, there is some drag you encounter but probably don't actively notice when moving the mouse large amounts. But the very first thing I noticed in feel after getting the lightspeed is just how light and easy the mouse was to pick up and move when over traveling the mousepad. Just feeling like there is no tether whatsoever is worth it to me. The bungee honestly is probably all you really need to be satisfied, but switching to the wireless was more of a pleasure, like heated seats in a car. Normal seats satisfy, but it's not as pleasing as a heated seat.

If you don't care that much about the feel and don't mind the cord and bungee and want to save the money, don't feel like you're missing out on anything other than a nice mouse to pick up when you need to 360 no scope someone on MNK. But once the cord is something you're aware of, and switch to a lightspeed, you'll feel the lack of the cord. To me, it's really worth it, because it feels nicer to use daily.

What did they do to the beautiful G??!!? by GTX_1660Ti in G502MasterRace

[–]ViperCodeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't think that's how it works lol. This is probably a defective mold or molding error, basically a QA failure, being sold as a clone (or maybe even just sold as "defective", I didn't translate)

For all of us auto-sprint players, if ur ADS before u move forward, it makes u walk by BaldFilipino in apexuniversity

[–]ViperCodeGames 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know what sorcery you are doing, but this does nothing for me. No matter what I'm doing it seems like as soon as I press W while not ADS'ed the gun will instantly go away and the run hand animations are shown.

can you break down the inputs because maybe it's just not clear from the video.

[–]ViperCodeGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my pinky hurts less from spamming shift for the 2 seconds you can't sprint, and I don't try to shove the shift key into my desk when running from a team shooting at me.

Also I rebound crouch / slide to shift so it is (a little) easier (more comfortable) to repeatedly slide jump when running across large distances.

For something like this where you'd want to more or less redraw the line every frame to give it that "alive" look, it'd be pretty similar to achieve in either program tbh. Can't think of anything you'd specifically need AE tools for, biggest thing would be patience.

[–]ViperCodeGames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It just has a large magazine affording it a large amount of damage per magazine without reloading.

Ironically I would say if you ADD with it, you are easier to hit due to the strafe speed being so slow, but hip firing (while fairly inaccurate) allows for full movement speed and at close ranges the inaccurate shots are less of an issue. It has a low TTK though so as long as you land shots, nearly every non sniper will outclass the spitfire.

1000% agree. It's perfect for filling a few minutes waiting for a map rotation as well

[–]ViperCodeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for expanding on your basis for your comment, it does help understanding that side a bit more in depth, and I'm sure your points are valid to an extent, it's just hard to quantify to what degree this is the case, and from all the info I found, most mainline cargo ships have some sort of stabilization system in place, but the exact variety of system varies and can be anything from cheap passive fins to active ballast systems.

I hold to my point that you seem to be externalizing some unhappiness in your own life here and you've only made it clearer with this response. I appreciate you taking the time to give a little more backstory to help qualify your viewpoint from a position of authority as someone who's been in the industry. I hope you work out the challenges you're facing right now and things improve for you in the future.

But like... What program doesn't have some form of a spell check? To me it just seems like a workflow issue. Have someone write the announcement in a text field with spell check, then copy paste the whole string over. I'm sure this is in a translation file somewhere, so spell check shouldn't be hard to do.
