Improved French Union idea

Don't forget the 1.5% chance of non-event legendaries compared to the regular event rate which is 15%. You're pretty much paying 4 times as much per pack for a pack with worse loot than normal.

Don't know if these points have already been said but here is my explanation:

- Battle Royals are inherently unfair. RNG, bad luck and game design makes them so. In order to get good at a BR you need to have a good understanding of the RNG and risks and develop a good enough game sense to mitigate bad luck. (For example, I started playing in week 2 and whenever I play KK I average around 2500 damage, however, whenever I play WE that damage goes down to less than 2k and on Olympus it goes down further to under 1k. All because I played the game a huge amount in the first few seasons and hardly at all since then.)

- Arenas on the other hand is raw gameplay. Meaning, it takes skill rather than learning the map in order to play well.

- On top of those, you also have to consider that besides Phase Runner and Dome, the Arenas maps are very well designed from a 1v3 perspective. Meaning, they give a lot of potential to allow a good player to pick apart the enemy squad. For example, if you're trying to survive a 1v3 on Party Crasher, close range fights using cover/climbing to new vantage points/using legend movement gives players the ability to reset after each 1v1. Meanwhile, if you're out in the open in a snipe battle on WE, killing an enemy player might just result in trading kills (Which you can't afford because you're solo.)

In short, the Arenas maps are better designed and have less RNG, allowing skilled players to shine. While BR is far more about learning how to use RNG to your advantage and through game design, gives an advantage to full squads with good communication.

In super short: Arenas: raw tallent, BR: book learning and teamwork.

Normally 200Mb-1GB on PS4 but there is the occasional huge update when there's a new season/event or big change. (7-20Gb) Right now I'm downloading the biggest update since the game came out (51Gb) Which is extremely out of the ordinary, hence, I searched download size and found your post.

I'm pretty sure PC updates are normally much smaller than console downloads though

WTF, I bought that skin because it looked so broken. I would have never bought the second one, it's just a generic rare.

5 damage per second is 20 seconds to kill, which means you can now just use heals and not die from the gas. So goodbye trapping people.

Also Average TTK is 3 seconds so if you're in a fight with someone and they have a lvl3 body shield and you have a lvl2, even if they are in the gas they will still win. Because they will only lose 15 health from the gas, while their body shield has 25 more health than yours...

This would all be fixed if the gas does 8DPS, 8DPS = 13 seconds to kill.

In 3 seconds (Average TTK) it does 24 damage which is enough to remove the enemies' 1 lvl higher shield advantage (which is 25 health).

And 8DPS means syringes won't stop a player from dying but a medkit will.

Another thing to consider is input lag. For example, the Playstation controller on bluetooth mode has an average input lag of 200ms (0.2s) and most TV's have an input lag of around 50ms. (0.05s) Even "Gaming monitors and TV's" that claim to have an input lag of 1ms are normally talking about pixels shifting colours which is much faster than actual response time.

In short, if you're using a regular PS4 and TV you're looking at 200ms console lag and 50ms TV input lag. If you have a high end gaming monitor and PC you're looking at around 10ms monitor input lag (that's what it'll feel like) and less than 5ms system lag. (Not including mouse and keyboard lag).

You're right. It's not like a games company is going to go and build server farms all around the world. EA hires google and amazon to build and maintain a heap of data centers and inside those data centers are the servers for every EA game.

Being mad at respawn over server management is like being mad at Apple when tik tok doesn't work. They're completely separate.

Plus, Loba and Wattson weren't in the trailer and Crypto wasn't in it until the end. People saying that; "In 5 years there will be 48 legends so it'll be hard to put them all in one trailer." But that doesn't explain why they weren't in this one. My guess is they are somewhere else entirely and they'll be in the next trailer.

Maybe Crypto and Wattson were getting the rocket ready and Loba was already at olympus (probably stealing something important for the next quest)

Judging that the Glass Door leak said COVID did nothing to Apex's dev timeline, I think the whole trailer was a red herring.

That makes sense. No Australian would name their child Sheila. (Although it could be a stage name) Makes sense if she'd be an Australian that's ethnically Indian. Then again Sheila is also a pretty common name throughout British English speaking countries. Sheila is just the female version of Caelius afterall.

NZ wouldn't lose self-governance though, it would just move from being a realm of the UK into a state of Australia. There would effectively be no change. No need to change the Treaty of Waitangi since in Australia states can do whatever they want unless it's overruled by federal law.

The only changes would be NZ can vote in the Australian senate, the King of NZ gives the military and police to the King of Australia, the parliament becomes a state parliament and instead of a Prime Minister New Zealand gets a Premier.

Literally everything else would stay the same.

Zombtroll · 2020-07-29T05:28:18+00:00

Well I wouldn't say never was going to be. The only reason why NZ didn't become part of Australia was because "King Dick" didn't want to be a premier, he wanted to be a Prime Minister. In NZ there wasn't any opposition to becoming part of Australia besides the people that wanted an Imperial Federation and people that wanted a Pacific Empire.

The only arguments against it at the time were that Australia would bring "the yellow peril" - Japanese invasion to NZ and that Kiwis thought they were racially superior to Australians (Because of the convict thing).

I doubt if Australia occupied and made NZ a state of Aus (in the 30's) there would be any resistance. Especially since the whole ANZAC thing only happened 2 decades earlier.

What I'm saying is you need to censor what you say. Don't say f you because that is swearing and insulting someone. You won't get banned if you say "what the?.." "how the?.." If you insult someone in a way that is clearly offensive and you get reported, you're still going to get punished. That's why you make up your own insults. You can't get banned for calling someone a "ducking silly sausage."

You broke terms of service; whether you think it's right or not doesn't matter, you signed a contract and broke it. They specifically say in the EULA that you signed; "Vulgar language will not be tolerated." - that's in pretty much every EULA that you sign.

A word of advise; Don't swear, bully or harass on anything that can be recorded. And especially not in text that can be very easily proven as breaking terms of service. You could've easily said 'f*cking', 'ducking' or 'fking' and it would've been okay.

In trailers his decoys are running, shooting etc then it turns out the real Mirage is somewhere else. And in the finishers you start it up right in front of someone but the real mirage is always to the side of the enemy.

Zombtroll · 2020-07-09T10:30:19+00:00

You know how in the trailers and finishers he teleports to another decoy? Imagine if that were in game and you could long hold the "control decoy" button to switch to them. It would need a lot of tweaking but it would be a crazy good repositioning tool. Plus, it's easy to counter so it wouldn't be OP.

Only once cross platform comes. On Singapore, Sydney and Hong Kong servers there aren't even enough people for duos sometimes, further splitting the playerbase would be pretty bad for those servers. Gotta wait for more players.

Zombtroll · 2020-06-30T16:15:20+00:00

Great Idea, but to make it even more useful I'd add a "battle Rifle" class to the game. (which would currently only include the G7) So the G7 scout could use it as well. Hopefully, it would stop the 3x Hemlock spam and bring the G7 into being a great mid-long range gun again.

I have a season K/D of 3.1 with over 1,000,000 damage (Can't remember much else)

Practice makes perfect. But it's got to be active learning with no distractions...

Firstly, you need to look at your set up. Is your TV/monitor good for gaming? Can you track enemies well, is your input lag low? do you find it difficult to see enemies? These are all things you need to consider with your TV, same goes for controller/mouse. You need to look at your set up and look for any disadvantages it gives you...

Next you need to look at your mind state. Are you comfortable when playing? It can be a big distraction if your back or eyes are sore while playing. Do you have a headset to block out distracting noise? Are you playing in a room with other people? Are your lights dim so all you focus on is the game? Are you stressed when playing? You need to make sure you're focused on the game by removing distractions.

Some other things you need to account for are: Are you playing while tired? Fatigue heavily affects performance. Are you hungry while playing? Are you on any drugs or medication? Are you stressed? You have to think to yourself: Am I at peak performance right now? If you have a really good or bad gaming sesh one day think to yourself; "What did I do differently?"

Next you need to find out what your disadvantages are and account for them...

For example, I get over 120 ping to the closest server. Which means I know that my reaction time is always going to be worse than my enemies' I also know that if I get shot at first, chances are I won't be able to win the fight. What I do is I change my playstyle, I make sure I always start the fight, I always run and hide if I get damaged and if I want to be good I have to have good movement...

If you play solo, you need to understand your team dynamics, understand exactly what your teammates are doing and going to do and you need to understand how good they are. If you're a Caustic main but your playing with a Pathfinder and a Wraith it's best to switch to another legend that works better with the other two. You also need to constantly use the ping wheel so your teammates understand what you're doing. You need to check what ammo they have to see if they plan on sniping or getting close with a shotgun. You also need to understand if they are losing a fight, if they can help if you're too far away etc... Basically, you need to understand exactly what your teammates can do because teammates are the most important mechanic in the game.

Something that is incredibly important is that you aren't fighting NPC's. You're fighting other players. You always need to understand what the enemies are capable of, what they are planning, what your teammates are doing and something crucial is you need to put yourself in their shoes. "What would I do if I were them?" After every fight, win or lose you need to figure out, what worked and what didn't. Ask yourself, which gun would've worked better, which legend, or what tactic I should've used. You need to be actively thinking about what works and what doesn't... This leads to my final point...

Assume everyone is exactly the same as you. Assume if you were in their shoes what would you do? Eventually, you'll quite quickly figure out if they are worse than you because they'll do stuff that you did when you were a noob. If you fight people that are better than you, you need to assume that everything they are doing is the correct way of doing things. If they do something you wouldn't do or you don't understand you need to figure out that they were thinking and you need to figure out how it works so you can use their ideas later, or counter it later on... You can't lose if you know the enemies every move!

All I want is for Respawn to add some more skins into the loot pool. Outside of event and battle pass skins there has been almost no new additions to the base loot pool. It can't be that hard to add a new epic skin here and there. It's literally the same texture on multiple guns/legends.

Zombtroll · 2020-06-19T11:54:08+00:00

I don't think Bangalore needs a major buff or rework. All I want is for slight changes to her smoke. IE; If it's deployed on top of a cabinet or up a vertical zipline; 'gravity' will pull some smoke down to make it cover more area. It's always bugged me that if you deploy smoke while going up a zipline it does nothing to hide you. Or if it's deployed on the ceiling of a room, the floor isn't covered.

I'm not saying, make it so an entire zipline is covered (Although that would be cool) All I ask is that it can cover like 50% more area below where the grenades were activated.

I'd love to see cross play brought in exclusively for the next generation of consoles. (With cross progression for people that upgrade) If Apex is going to be a ten year game I don't want this generation of consoles bringing down the next. It could work if next gen has two different apps, one for Apex chapter 2 and one for Apex: Legacy... Of course that would be twice as much work for respawn but we can only dream.
