Apex Legends |OT| You kill me, you're better. I kill you, I'm better.

I wouldn't be surprised if they reduce visibility of Gibraltar's passive at some point. It's not so great that it needs such a significant downside.
Just saw this. Apex Legends is now officially mainstream.
Nop... I dont want to explain this 1824:th time, someone else can.
I used to care for wins in the first 10 games or so. Then I figured I wasted 15 minutes of my already limited time just aimlessly looting for about 3 minutes of actual fun.
Not saying suicidal hotdrops are the thing but if I have to spend more than the first few minutes looting then I'd rather go play some of those farming games.
I took the plunge cause I need those RTX updates. One hour in no crash yet.
Bangalore smoke seems like some of the best that I have ever seen in a game. It feels all consuming when in it.
Yea that would be pretty helpful. Also can teammates grenade hurt you? I saw it and just started running.
Find another game? Seriously ?
The game is based on team work and some people don't have the pleasure of having multiple friends on at any one given time.
This pertains to people who bitch about randoms non stop. If you're not having fun, stop playing. If you hate randoms, stop playing. Complaining about them does nothing.
Ah,my bad.
I sometimes just like a quick game here and there. I wouldn't mess about playing with Era members.
For what it's worth I just scored a win with randoms. I totally got carried by a guy who got 14 kills. He was a bit of a asshole as he was bragging about the 3 squad wipes he had, but he thanked us after the match.
I enjoy meeting and playing with randoms when it works out.

Yep getting flash backs of playing LoL in this thread. Funny thing, most likely their teammate is saying the exact same thing about them. People rarely blame themselves in these team games.
I dont play Lifeline because it seems I always have the worst luck with her. I end up going 1v3...and then... well... this happens(warning high volume near end):
Worst luck ever. No weapons. No ammo. Even the loot robot trolled me. :'c
Damn! I had an even better clip with my main, Pathfinder earlier but the friggin ps4 didnt save it for some reason. I grappled into someone's back and shot em holy shit! Anyone else have a problem with it saving only part of a clip?

Very well said.
I mean, as an aside, because I don't want to paint ERA with the same brush and I sincerely hope it isn't the case here, my worst experiences playing LoL was't with "randoms" or whatever. It was when GAF community extended its hand and said "come play with us instead" because LoL was infamous about how bad playing with strangers was. It was probably the most toxic environment I ever played that game in, playing with exclusively GAF people. Not everyone, not every time, but often enough that I stopped playing with gaffers altogether. I'd rather mute a random or have the odd disappointing game, than having a close community member on my ear all game. I was actually decent enough at LoL back then, not Diamond or pro level, but I knew what I was doing.
Yes, playing with randoms is not ideal, I hope that playing with ERA members here is great, but this thread started pretty chill and cool with everyone sharing their stories and positive experiences, and it's quickly devolved into the same tired "everyone is shit but me" posts. I hope it's just a phase and it goes back to the cool stuff.
Lol its the OT people can complain about whatever the hell they want aslong as it pertains to the game.
Never play MOBAs with people you know or are part of a community with. It will make you hate every last one of them.
Actually it's only mainstream if Arby's Twitter makes a papercraft out of it.
I learned that lesson m8, believe me. I moved to Dota 2 with irl friends and it wasn't too bad then.
Complain away, no one is stopping you.
Honestly there's a ignore buttons for a reason. Policing what people say isn't helping shit. Complain away. You're not breaking any rules.
People can do all sorts of things that aren't illegal all the time...it will still make the world a shittier place.
Loving this game. Am up to about 25 wins on Lifeline, who is my main. The flow of matches is so quick, I lose hours to it. It's dangerous.
I've said before, but I honestly think them adding in Solo and/or Duos would vastly help the situation.
At least from my perspective, I actually don't mind playing with bad players as long as they play with the team. My friend and I have had some good wins with people who haven't had much damage or kills because they've stuck around and just helped in other ways you know. The problem I find a lot with randoms is you get people who just don't want to play in a team, which obviously isn't helped by the fact that we're forced to go into squads instead of duos and they're forced to go into squads instead of solos.
Nope that's definitely me...I am garbage, but i still love the game!
Yeah. They should just lift Overwatch's Endorsement system and stay as a group feature. I would probably actually use the stay as a group feature in this game.
Overwatch got around this by only allowing you to give people kudos and not rate down. If you didn't want to play with a particular person, you can place them in your temp ban list. This ban list lasts for a week and you'll never match with them for a that week. To counteract people banning half the player base, you can only ban 2 or 3 people at a time. If enough people ban you, your endorsement level will then drop.
It's funny but I just can't wrap my head around how people do less than 40 damage all match lol. That's like....one punch. No shots landed for a whole 20 minutes? I know theres a lot of newcomers to BR, but I just don't understand. Simply spray in their direction and you're bound to get hit markers.
Lol I'm right there with you guys. We should squad up and then see who is truly the worst (it's definitely me).
Does being paired with low skill players count as a miss to you? I've been having a blast with randoms, but I also don't mind different playstyles and skill levels.
I have found that mics will come on usually when you are down to 5 squads left or so.
I understood it in Fortnite, because the entire point of that game's casual appeal is to have people do random challenges around the world to level up their Battle Pass, and few of them require actually engaging in any sort of combat.
But there is nothing else to do in Apex other than shoot people.
I haven't seen that, and I usually say "hey" at the start of the match so the others know I have a mic also.
On PS4, at least, you will see a little speaker icon (though usually greyed out aka muted) at the start of a match.
Aah, I play on PC. Not sure if you see any indication other's have a mic on there, unless they press T (or whatever they bind it to) to talk. When they press T you see the speaker icon appear next to their name.
Eh. Just depends. Players actively trying to learn, ping and stick together is enjoyable. Players running off and lone wolfing, disconnecting after a death...all those get annoying. Different scenarios, imo. I've seen both low and high level players do both. As long as you're pinging and trying to team play you're already ahead of others I thinkz
Just work on your gunplay lol.
It's crazy and I always laugh when I see the post stats. Don't even ADS. Point your gun at them and hold R. Do that all match. You'll have at least 100 damage after 20 minutes.
That feeling when you finally get a legendary at level 35... but it's a banner for your least played character.
😭🔫
😭🔫
I've found that most people have mics, they just don't use them. Whether it be they don't want to talk, have background noise they don't want to broadcast, or whatever.. I'm fine with it. I'll take someone who doesn't talk but utilizes the ping system over the player that constantly fills the mic with random jargon, horrible tasteless jokes, and the like. Especially since the in-game VOIP tends to cover environmental sound, so needless crosstalk can be detrimental to hearing location-based noises.
Edit:
People with a mic attached on PC have the speaker icon next to their name on the UI, in addition to the name popping up when they broadcast.
One good thing about Apex is you can definitely tell if one of your teammates is completely hopeless from the initial jump. In those cases I've just started leaving the game, shit isn't worth it at that point.
That's true too. Most people I've heard talk have been alright, giving instructions etc and staying quiet most of the time. Just like me. Maybe I've been lucky. Only had one dude be obnoxious, but thankfully the mute function took care of that fast.
