I'd love to know why they went so far to mirror Overwatch's loot box system, only to diverge once it came to how they're actually awarded. It feels like a misguided attempt to make the junk cosmetics more rewarding, rather than making the rarest ones the big prize.
Really hope they change it at some point.

All of this just to choke the match away. One enemy left and I went for the heal instead of rushing.
That's what I love about the game though, I can't recall a single death of mine where it wasn't my own fault.
Btw every single one of those 12 kills was made with a shotgun. While I'm having tremendous fun with the shottys in Apex (Peacekeeper is just godly) I think they should be one of the first things to get nerfed (mostly their range)
I don't feel they really need a nerf. Wingman and R99 are at least as powerful, in the Wingman's case more powerful. Overall I would look at buffing the less powerful guns then nerfing the top ones.
Last but not least, got a win with Lifeline. Now I got at least a win with each character. Don't care about achievements and such, but I thought this was a fun little challange to get to know the characters a bit better.
Also late to the party, but the R-99 is one crazy beast.

The R99 with the purple mag is my favorite gun in the game, it straight up deletes people in CQC.
If it gets nerfed imma be upset lol

Go to the settings and change the response thing to "steady"; it helped me a lot.
I'm kind of amazed at this, it seems like such an odd way of doing things. I get that, in all probability, part of the progression system here is the battle pass and that doesn't yet exist, but this system seems so needlessly stingy right now. I have some level of faith that it will be repaired, but there's no way to know one way or another right now.
oh my god i just had one of the best games ever! Im gonna start maining lifeline from now on. It is like people cant hit her or something. No one targets me like when I am Pathfinder. And even if they do, they miss like hell. I was fucking people up with the Havoc! Also, it seemed as though my ADS was glued to people's head this time around. This never happens with any other character where I have to work for kills. Weird. I must have ascended or something.
Does anybody else really want the solo mode? I see many people saying it's a team-based game and all that, but would it still hurt to include the option though?
People on Reddit downvote everything solo-queue related. I guess I'm just not a huge fan of playing with randoms as it gets frustrating sometimes.

I tend to not make online friends anymore, so I played Fortnite exclusively solo.
As such I was very unsure about Apex and playing with random, but by now I have come completely around. There shouldn't be a solo mode. With the way the game is designed and set up I think it can only take away from the overall experience, if you split the userbase like that.
But like with Apex itself, I am always willing to be proven wrong.
I like the Havoc and the TTK is one of the things that makes the game great?
It's less about the gameplay itself, and more about who and how people engage with it. At the moment squads are filled with randoms, which creates some casual fun games that I can actually win (at least for me). A solo mode might shift the squad mode audience to more fully premade groups, which in returns makes it less appealing for randoms, pushing them into the (I presume watered down) solo mode. And that would be a shame.
You need to be careful with this stuff. It can have a big impact and there is usually no way to go back on it.
I dunno dude... here are a few kills I just got from the game I just won. This is my second time using the weapon after initially writing it off so my aim is kinda wack. But I managed to adjust throughout the match to the kick back on it. The sniper rifle mode is... just :chef's kiss:
The infographic showing Apex Legend's timeline showed season 1 battle pass as March through May right? Hopefully we start to get some concrete news on how it's going to work. The Valentine's day items went live on the 13th, a Wednesday, so ideally we get the start of season 1 on the 6th of March. I liked how Fortnite handled their system so hopefully Respawn either copies that or improves on it
I gotta say going into training and shooting a bunch of rounds with each gun has done wonders for my choices of what guns to pick up and figuring out my preferences in the field.
Is there anything to the guns that have a quoted phrase associated with them when you pick them up? Sometimes they are in blue/purple text which leads me to believe they are different, but it doesn't seem explained anywhere.

I feel the same, they should keep it as is. While I've had some not great games with randoms, I've also had some pretty good one's. While I mostly play solo Apex allows for much more coordination between teams that it's much more fun that way.
Having you buy this skin with two different currencies (one to buy the original, one to buy the advertised special that you can't even buy until you buy the original lol) is a shitty fucking system. Especially so given this one is on a limited time.
I see your point, but right now it's still hard to win with randoms against a premade squad.
I need one of those websites where I can check my wins, winrate and all kinds of stats.
I know there's one (or a few already) for that, but they all provide less info than we already have in-game.
there are no characters for me to buy, and the alt colors are contingent on me spending $18 on a skin for the same slot
Yea I want to see my kills/deaths over time as well. To see how much better I have gotten over time. Agora.gg used to track stats like that for paragon and you could even build decks and import them into your ps4 game using the website. Would be cool to change skins and badges online in Apex here too.
That's the skin that the weapon had equipped. Basically, someone else dropped that gun and the skin they were using for it stays on it.
Maybe this is weird but I think that I get more frustrated by losing than I get satisfied by winning since there's literally no reward for winning right now whatsoever 🤷♂️
The currency you earn is totally useless once you buy the characters.
Every game I play today is just a shit show of bad team mates, just going off on their own, hoarding loot when you have no ammo, charging into fights like they are a pro player.

i think it's 90 seconds to get the respawn banner after the teammate bleeds out, but no time limit between getting the banner and bringing it to the respawn beacon, right?
That's correct. And a respawn beacon can only be used once per team.
I know Lifeline is super popular but I'm not hugely impressed with what I've played of her. Her small hitbox and the passive increase to healing speed are super useful but that's about it. Her heal drone is immobile and heals really slowly and her shield to revive enemies seems useful until you remember 90% of engagements in this game are at close range and enemies can just walk right through the shield and blast you in the face.
My "best" match is when I came in 2nd, and my teammates had exactly 0 damage done between them, lol. (Not complaining about them, as I suck, just that you can do jack shit and reach the last circle.) I hadn't played in a week and my experience hasn't changed. Half the time I start with less than a full squad. When I do get a full squad, inevitably I get gunned down by someone with 300+ kills.
Rayme - I used to follow your posts on Titanfall 1 and 2 back on "the other site". Thanks for making such awesome games man. You guys are mega talented. Can you please do a sneak buff on the Mozambique please? You don't have to tell the rest of the team. :)
Geez.....when one of your teammates is a potato for real. we literally spent most of the game 2v3ing and then respawning him or reviving him only to have to respawn him. lol
I guess it helped us find where they were, since he basically served as a decoy in some fights.
(I'm on the left)
<edit> LMFAOOOOO
I JUST NOW SAW HIM TYPE "DID WE WIN?"
WTF

Imo it's best to fight as much as possible if you want to get better at the game. I get that this might not be everyone's playstyle, but playing passively all the time won't get you anywhere
Lifeline is my main. The passive is ace, the best thing about her. I think generally her other skills are useful situationally, which is about what you should expect of them in this. The drone is good for topping up, for spending more time in the red, and good - if clear - for post-fight heals (allies can shield whilst getting healed, it's just faster than any other way of doing things short of a Phoenix Kit). The revive shield can be excellent - people can't always push it at will, which is a massive boon in many fights. Finally, the Ult is great to set the team up for the final few circles.
