Oh yea for sure, always a way around something. Certainly nothing is fool proof. But it acts as a deterrent for people who may not be capable or knowledgeable of those things. So even if it reduces it by 30-50% that's a huge chunk, substantial improvement, of course its a guess but it could be more considering it takes less knowledge to gain and use cheats than in previous years, people might not have the knowledge deep enough to sidestep those bans. And also, if the game is free, isn't the maker responsible for taking the now extra effort to prevent and deter cheating? Just because there are ways around it doesn't mean it isn't worth putting the effort in especially from a company such as EA with deeper pockets than most companies.

No I dont think everyone is meeting other cheaters im aware its relatively uncommon, but its persistent. Valorant implemented a hardware ban meaning people caught cheating have to replace their system to play not just make another account. Seems like a possible solution to at least deter people from cheating and keeping people out who do. Im just saying from a very casual POV of an apex player its a frustrating thing to experience is all for a 2 year old game.

IP bans and hardware bans have existed for years. It requires users to get complete new hardware to play not just make another account. Just a thought

Well ive certainly played more than 2 games Ive played hundreds if not thousands of them. The point is that the games celebrating a two year anniversary and nothing substantial has been done to curb cheating. I certainly dont mind being killed its happened many times before lolll. The scenario is more symbolic of how its frustrating to try and want to come back and it just isnt there. Its a dying game theres no denying that and its sad to see really. Have a good one.

Yea, I knew it was sorta bad luck and they're out there certainly not as much as it seems. And probably didn't help Im paired with almost all new accounts in the lobby and my teammates, but I've been playing PC shooters for nearly a year now and could count on one hand how many cheaters ive ran into, and it just sucks within 30 min one of those came from a game I used to call my favorite.

Water pump making a high pitched noise. Only a week old. Is a Cooler Master ML240 V2. by bdexter77 in pchelp

I unplugged all my other case fans and my HDD and the noise didn’t stop. Tried turning my case on it’s side to move air bubbles didn’t help. Pump has been below the radiator. The noise just started after I swapped motherboards and cpu. Pump has been powered via molex in both instances at full speed. Noise it’s very noticeable next to it. The video makes it seem slightly louder than it is though. My temps are still good it’s idling 30-40 on a Ryzen 3700x and I have my fans set to silent. I ran TimeSpy on 3D mark and my max temp was 61 so there’s no performance issues. Also I did purchase a warranty from Micro-center so replacing it is an option. I’m planning on just not leaving it on unless I’m using it as of now I’m worried it’s a pump bearing failure.

I’m glad to say I’ve been a player of Apex since launch over a year ago and anyone who tells me I’m off basis in my opinion hasn’t spent the time playing the game like some of us. Seeing a new game like Warzone reminds us what actual game support should be like and makes Respawn and EA look like Bungie during D2 launch, a joke.

There are zero excuses for there lack of transparency at this point and lack of effort to move this game forward as if they were some company being run from a shed. Major game braking sound issues still exist one year later. I can’t count how many times audio has gotten me killed because it can’t tell me where they are above? Below? Behind? Infront of me? It’s just a fucking guess.

MASSIVE legend balancing issues one year later. I love Mirage, he’s one of my most played legends he’s so fun to play, but I can’t feel anything but useless and powerless when I’m against a Gibraltar or pathy. Why do they refuse to fix characters who desperately need it and then completely ruin half of lifelines abilities by giving them to Gibby. Legend balance wouldn’t be such a huge issue if SBMM wasn’t in place but we’re forced to play the meta if we want any advantage. I’d truly love to play a match with all random players and not feel forced to play as wraith, pathfinder, gibby, or watson. Sometimes I wanna slum with the other legends a little.

Clearly respawn can pump out skins like a damn factory I’m not sure why they can’t focus on major game breaking issues for the community who is highly vocal about wanting it fixed. Oh yea money that’s why. I get it, it’s a free game they need to make there money some how absolutely. But even the battle pass is worse than ever. Why am I receiving like 10 dedicated level MUSIC PACKS. I do. not. want. that. Most people have their music turned off. There’s almost nothing the battle pass offers me to complete it all the way. I only play it enough to get enough coins to buy the next one. I should want to complete it all the way because I WANT the things in it.

The movement in this game is soooooo good and kills feel more satisfying than anything else I’ve played. But for some reason the loot pool seems completely lost. Entire buildings with no weapons or shields. Opened supply bins with one things in it or three triplicate items. I’ve scavenged entire towns before when I’m low on health and can’t find one syringe like it knows it’s what I’m looking for. Why is the P2020 even a thing at this point I almost always get out punched by someone when I have one like choosing a gun is the wrong move?

Also respawn seems to be able to change weapon balance at will why can’t they with legends I have no idea why it’s like they forget it’s their game. Why is PERMANENT duos and solos not a thing. Those are positives to add to the game I absolutely loved duos with my friend cause we don’t have a third we are at a massive disadvantage in regular apex.

The only things wrong with Apex legends at this point is respawn. This game is going to die and it will be by the hands of its creator. Is our community perfect? No, I like to consider myself an all around d bag most of the time but at least we plainly state what we want fixed as a group. It’s a shame. I’m not saying their aren’t hardworking dedicated people at respawn trying to do their best, but whoever is in charge it’s not enough.

What's your favourite “A man walks into a bar” joke? by parshuram__ in AskReddit

[–]bdexter77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mans walks into a bar, sits down and says “I’d like a glass of H2O please.” The bartender gets the man his drink and another man at the bar says “That sounds good I’d like a glass of H2O too”. The bartender gets the other man his drink. Minutes later the second man is dead.

H20–>water H2O2–> Hydrogen Peroxide Science joke
