On top of the hilariously dumb nerfs to sliding and jumping. “Hey let’s ruin the most fun aspect of fighting in our game!” You have to reeeeaaalllly fuck your game up to make a serious addict with hundreds of hours on your game not want to play. And that’s where we are rn for me.
They also accidentally reverted the magazine buffs to the energy weapons but wont hotfix it back for some reason
And some of the mess is back again. On NY servers, I’m in NY, and unplayable lag and skipping every game. Played with a friend on Texas servers and it was for some reason better, but still bad. The elite queue, and assuming ranked in s2, is a joke. I don’t get why you install a “competitive” system that rewards camping. I’m all for playing tactically, but the point of the game is to shoot other players, not sit in a corner on the edge of a circle. When there’s 8 squads left you can’t even get an enemy to fight you, they see you and just run immediately stalling for top 5.
Packet loss icon has been a constant for the past few days. I don't notice it too much in terms of hitting stuff but randomly boomeranging isn't super cool
Just had my funniest win that I can remember of late. Im on the phone with work so I'm not even paying attention to the game. Got respawned in late after our 3rd fucked off and did nothing. I scramble to 3 untouched game drops near artillery (final rings) I get blue armor and 2 mastiffs. End of story.
I mean, did they? I played and only noticed some new creature research facilities. Only the river areas are extra affected by the leviathans.
There's a big ass tower too. There's also small random scattered buildings and craters etc so it's not as flat in open areas. Again they could've just made a new map.
Game is definitely improved from a lag/FPS standpoint. For myself and all those I play with at least. It has other issues now— there’s some desync/hit reg problems, but that seems to be pretty common in BRs at this point. The new hop ups are way too strong even with the nerfed hotfix yesterday. That’s the biggest issue I think. The map changes are great. Not sure why you’d dislike them. They didn’t change everything and just mixed things up a bit so the map doesn’t get boring. Definitely not enough to make a new map and they’ve said they are working on a new map anyways.
Ranked play is sweaty. It’s unfortunately getting campier and campier as I climb, which they need to either adjust the scoring and/or maybe it gets better after a few weeks, but still has been really fun in an intense way. I’m in gold and almost every person that kills me has 20 kill badge which is a little crazy.
I realize that it's how games sustain long term interest but ranked BR doesn't appeal to me at all. Maybe it's because I'm not that great or I'm just getting old, but whether I win a given match is secondary to how much I enjoy it. I hope the ranked and elite modes don't ruin the original/casual mode. Still enjoying otherwise. Still can't hit shit with the longbow. G7 is underrated.
Competitive Fortnite destroyed the level of enjoyment I got from that game. Competitive Apex will be dictated by the influencers of the game and changes to competitive will span across the entire platform. There may not be a medium that suffers more from the Internet and opinion than gaming does and BR is ripe for the picking
Is anyone grinding ranked? This point system is still proving to be hilarious. I’ve had teammates in diamond that didn’t know lifelines drone doesn’t heal shields, repeatedly asked for a turbocharger for a triple take, screamed at me on mic for throwing a grenade near him in a fight and killing him lol. I don’t get how respawn thinks this is a good setup, buuuuutttt hey at least the new shotty snipes mode is fucking fun.
Hopped on for a few games for the first time in a while, and boy I suck. Got a few kills now and then, but mostly got smoked right from the onset of a firefight.
I am shocked by the rank distribution. If that’s true, they made some improvements to scoring, but I think it’s still not close to enough. There’s simply no way I’m playing with the top .2% of players and they barely have an understanding of the loot table.
What rank are you now? I still need to put time in this week and grind to platinum. Think I am 20 points away
Nice man. Happy to help with the grind if you want it. I think I'm in D2 rn. If I hadn't stopped playing for 4 weeks I easily grab pred, but got a little bored since once you're in D it is all pred games anyways.
I would love to play with you but I also dont wanna play in the sweaty D2 rank lol. Gold is pretty garbage now so it shouldn't be too hard.
I still play, but not as grindy as before since on Xbox everyone in ranked was dashboarding and casuals the sbmm can really wear you out. Excited for next season though. They just need to tone down the sbmm, fix dashboarding, and add rotating LTMs everyday.
That S4 trailer was dope af. Excited to see what Revenant can do and how he changes the meta. Please don't nerf my G7
Hope they just get rid of double tap instead of nerfing it. I was hoping to hit pred before they changed the requirements but I don't think I'm going to make it
Yes, do that. It'll be pretty much the same as taking the disruptor rounds away from the Alternator. S2 was all about those damn Disruptor rounds. S3 has seen a heavy dose of G7s.
Skullpiercers coming back? Playing today and pinged a Bow, and my Bang mentioned picking up a Skullpiercer to make it lethal. First I've heard that line since S2, and I haven't seen any mention of Skullpiercer coming back for S4.
King's Canyon is so much better than World's Edge. I don't feel too much like playing Ranked anymore after the split now that it's on WE
Just wanted to play with the new character. What a joke.
