This is far too frequent and pretty much what always happens, Whole clips into an enemy just for them to 1-2 shot with the PK from a not realistic distance. Netcode in this game is one of the worst.

Everyone has armor pretty much 30 seconds into the game, so you're going to have to get really lucky finding that longbow before then.
And ya long range sniping is useless, I quickly learned that. Mid range sure, but long range is just "Hey I'm over here, get ready for us".
You aren't. But your squad can. Movement is incredibly fast in this game. Wraith's Ult and Q both increase her speed. Bangalore speeds up through getting shot at. Pathfinder can grapple slingshot or Zipline. Bloodhound's Ult turns him into The Flash. And most times you don't actually need to do those things to close the gap.
At least that hitbox stuff finally confirms to me that I''m not insane for feeling like a huge target as Pathfinder compared to other normal sized characters
It's about as long range as it can get in Apex. There are very, very few truly long sightlines in the game. Which is why there's a badge for getting a kill over 300m (which would be considered AR range in most other BRs).
Absolutely agreed. The map is very explicitly divided by mountain ranges and contiguous areas are filled with slopes and ziplines. I think there are very few effective sightlines in the game that couldn't be pushed on off a snipe, especially with a Pathfinder or a Wraith.
I finally discovered text to speech on ps4 apex, and its hilarious. i use it each drop to say...please not the jumpship, its not worth it.
Thanks for digging this up. I knew that the characters were bigger so that the hitboxes would be too, but them being both bigger and having that heinous amount of bleed out is nuts. The big boys probably have double the hitbox volume of a Wraith or Lifeline.
Team mates will see 'Bees note the pumpsheep, it is not worse KITCHEN'
He's doing the revere, typing text and having computer voice read it back. ;-)
You really need to post a video to make claims like this, the hit reg feels really good as the shooter.
I just had a game where we landed at Bunker and I couldn't get a weapon, so I had to go to the houses outside and grabbed an EVA-8 real quick and started booking it back to Bunker. One of my teammates goes down and starts calling me a trash player, blah blah blah, whole 9 yards of insults for not being there. I get back and finish off the one guy that's left, revive my 1 teammate that was down, and pick up the banner of the player that was insulting me. I instantly respawn him and we end up winning the match. I had 8 kills and he only had 2.
One of those games where I'm not sure I should be happy I won, or disappointed because he didn't deserve the carry. Happened a lot with Overwatch, where you win a match with a toxic player and feel bad for the result.

I had a player who saw the enemy in front, ignored it after all the calls and pings, the enemy goes behind him and then he does nothing and dies, after a whole minute of calls and pings. Had another who never followed instructions.
People are just braindead. Like, I justify quitting and moving to another round if these people play like this.

When you're 1v6, yeah, you need teammates. 1v8 if we count some people twidiling their thumbs.
Been playing the game pretty consistently since launch and I only just now experienced my first truly toxic teammate.
Not that they said anything wrong, but clearly they were in to grief. Showed up and was grabbing guns left and right emptying the gun giving away our position as well as trying to eat up all the ammo in the area. If the weapon was empty he'd pick up another one. Also found time to constantly ping locations/enemies that weren't there/etc. At least Respawn thought enough to let us be able to mute pings from certain players. But chasing us down and firing at my other teammate and I wasn't helpful.
That being said it made me thing of future implementation of say Overwatch's merit system where you can commend the randos you get paired up with, possibly increasing your chances of getting paired up with good teammates.

Game 5: Jumpmaster ignores pings to instahotdrop, doesn't veer off when there's three other squads hitting the ground first, surprise we all die without guns
Game 6: Starts without a third teammate, second teammate needs to have the game explained to them (not even mad at them, they legit needed explanations on how to play the whole round), die to third partying with 4 squads left
It was a joke lol watch the clip.
This game is all about mastering the art of the 3rd party.
I thought my 7 kill victory was amazing until I seen a this one player yesterday that carried us to a win. He was a madman. Just kept chasing down squad after squad without being cautious at all. I swear there was like 10 dead boxes in one little area. He finished the round with 16 kills. Now I'm using the flatline. Lol
pathfinder is the last character i need to win with to have wins with all the characters and its actually garbage how his hitbox just makes him easy to clap
i wish id played and won with him in the first few days so i could get past this when nobody knew what they were doing like i did with Caustic and Gib but idk... this is painful

Ya, it's not a platform thing. Part of the reason shotguns are so good in Fortnite is because ramp-rushing allows you to close distance with cover the entire way, and the high level of mobility in Apex makes W-keying someone and pulling out a shotty just as viable.
When I look at my weapon kill stats, shotguns outpace the other weapons by a lot.
The stats don't lie. I prefer Assault Rifles over Shotguns in shooters in general and I have close to twice as many shotgun kills as AR.

All the solo talk... we pretty much know it is coming.
And if the player base maintains (it doesn't look like it's going anywhere) there will be plenty of players to play with on both play lists.
I also trust Respawn to mix up the solo playlist. I can see there being a tweak or a new mechanic or dynamic to mix it up.

Yeah makes sense, I'm not complaining just an observation from the majority of squad fights we've had tonight. Whichever way it swings it normally ends with a Peacekeeper.
Got my first win today. Absolutely addicted to this game. I enjoy this way more than Fortnite or PUBG. Having loved Titanfall, this is right up my alley.
I had to drop my sensitivity wayyyy down on PC so my shots become more stable and now I'm getting more knocks or eliminations. Especially with the longbow I've gotten KO after KO with it with my tweaked settings

Maybe find some friends to play with, or just quit. Sounds like you're not having fun.
I've been playing and having fun since that game came out, I'm just having a single bad day. Policing people's experiences is way weirder.
For the amount of shit you can unlock its a bit weird they won't give you a lootbox every time you level up.
Or is it just me?

Levels have set rewards, yeah.
Weirder part is how your level, AFAIK, doesn't roll over. No prestiging or w/e. So you're only ever going to get a tiny amount of loot for free.
Deal with it.. swamps is the greatest loot area and it's on the far reaches. Sometimes you in the zone the entire time and others you on the run fighting. It's the best.
They'll be adding a battle-pass in soon, which will probably give you extra loot boxes as you level it up too. Might be balanced around having that active at the same time.
Chill buddy, just an observation. People who constantly feel the need to complain about a game, just sounds like they aren't having fun. Why not walk away from the game for a few hours.
Yeah, I'm reserving my judgement on the MTX for now. Need to see how the battle pass shakes out. At this point, I think it's pretty cool that they give you free packs at all, even if there aren't many. Other f2p games don't do that.
Big fan of the airbase drop. Good loot, usually another team or two to kill and plenty of people to hunt down between runoff, the little settlement between airbase and bunker and skull town.
Thought initially but been getting wins with him. Really his bubble is strong as a fallback point for reloads and healing when engaged at a distance. Also I could see it as an escape ability as well if in the right areas. Too many people use it to hide in and people just charge it when the engagement is to close . Ult is super strong as well. I've actually seen him in more champions parties that look like pre made groups recently.
I am level 30 and was shocked at how little currency I had to buy my first cosmetic. After all those hours, I can't even afford an epic Pose for my banner. They cost 400 crafting metal and I have 380.
To make matters worse, after level 25 we stop getting one loot box per level. Instead, we get one every other level.
They are so afraid of people getting more than a few cosmetics without paying money that they have made it next to impossible for free users to get anything of worth.
I love everything else about this game but the cosmetic system is really terrible.
So once we get to level 50, we cannot get anymore loot boxes? This is worse than I could have ever imagined.
Think it's 100 for now. Sure as time goes it'll expand out. Plus you have the battle pass stuff possibly.
Nah its super fucked Being almost max level and having fuck all to show for it is ridiculous in addition to the fact I wouldn't be any better off even if I had spent, say, 20 dollars. I still don't even have 400 crafting materials, a third of what you need to get something worthwhile.
I really need to play a new Legend, but Caustic is just too damn fun. Had a game where the 2nd circle shrink was right over bunker, so there were a lot of players still alive. We went and camped anyway, and I put gas traps in front of door. Teams would NOT stop showing up. By the time we killed one, another was drawn to gunfire and would show up. We were finally finished off by a team that came from behind us in bunker, even with a trap trying to protect. The last minute was a panicked slugfest of us crammed in a room while 2 teams poured in, all of us buried in smoke and poison. I've never seen so many coffins in one area. It was glorious.
The game is big laggy for me every match tonight, and it has been that way for a lot of the people I have played with, too.
Past 50 its every 5 levels you get one. Once you hit the cap there's no more until the battle pass I guess.
