Not as frustrating as 10 minute long queues because the pool of available players are tiny due to SBMM or LBMM.
bittersweet feeling making it to second place as a duo after your better-than-you toxic Wraith main teammate quits the match before it even starts
That's spread throughout the world and over the entirety of the 24 hour clock. Further splitting that up into smaller and smaller segments just shrinks the pool considerably. It absolutely would create queue times.
It is absolutely splitting up the pool and when that's millions of players the smaller pool isn't noticeable at all. Your suggestion of 10 minute matchmaking is silly.
It wasn't a suggestion. It was exaggeration for effect. It's also something that's happened by example in many, many games that have the match making pool split by various criteria.
so while aiming at gibs i noticed and ask, is his shield bigger now? feels like his head is barely visble above the shield and it covers a lot of his torso/arm hitbox. so essentially you need to take out 175 if you dont get headshots. dayum, wait that's not including the 10% reduction of damage too. idk how i feel about it.
I was doing some work on it, but I've decided to pull back a bit since I feel like I'm going to complete it, level 68. The only problem is, now I don't want to even attempt the grind anymore.
I will always prefer connection based matchmaking over skill based. When Destiny changed to skill based the pvp went to shit.
But there should be like a beginners pool for new players only that they stay in untill they are level 20 or something.
I want to see a better punishment system for quiters. You should not be able to accept invites for other games when your already in one which I'm guessing happens alot because I often get invited to a game by the last randoms I was in while im matchmaking.
Also, if some one picks up your banner you should have the option to quit after 2 minutes. I've had games where my banner has been picked up by random players just so they can get to my loot. They've then proceeded to play the game until the end without respawning me.

In Battle Royale games a level 10 can pretty easily outsmart a level 100 just by better loot, luck or position.
I think it's fine the way it is.

Yup.
The genre itself is random: random loots, random flight paths to start the game, and random team games (if you want). All that would happen with a segmented player base is the people 'who know how to play the game' would just become emboldened more toxic like you see in shooters that focus on competiton.
"Only (insert slur here) use Gib"
"That my character" *quits out*
*Pushes and engages without telling anyone* WHY DIDNT YOU BACK ME UP!! U SUCK.
Yeah, i get it. The dude wandering on his own, not grabbing armor, begging you to save him when he decides to go Quake in skulltown sucks. But honestly its less annoying then dealing with people who "know" how to play the game and only care about winning their way
I read way back when the game was first released in one of those datamines that they had plans some kind of ranked mode eventually. I'm guessing the reason they haven't released it is that the level of toxicity in a ranked Apex match would be astounding if they don't fix all the issues first (slow mo bug, etc).
They can't drop ranked in this until they do a solos mode. Any of y'all ever play ranked solo in a team game before? like siege? It's literally like climbing out of the pits of hell. You can do it, hit those top ranks solo, but you have to go in with the patience of job and an attitude of "im going to be doing 100% of the work"
Apex solo is already like this I can't imagine what'll happen you put a way to measure dicks in it too.

I imagine you'd only play ranked with a proper pre-made squad otherwise yeah - it'd be insanity. Also, I'm not totally sure all these insane 7000 kill Wraiths really want to go up against other 7000 kill Wraiths. I think they enjoy stomping with zero cares.
Speaking of which, I was playing the other day with my squad (who are pretty decent) and the champions of the match were a trio that made up of a Pathfinder, Bangalore and Lifeline who each had over 5000 kills a piece. We ended going against them in the second to last circle - after not seeing anybody in the match the whole time. When they jumped us it was over SO FAST none of us could believe it. They dropped a Banglore ult on us, ziplined straight in and just flat out destroyed us in less than 10 seconds.
I mean yeah solo would be the perfect way because you are the only thing there.
But team only games also shows your skill, even when it might be a bit slower because of the randomness of teammates.
Its the typical "elo hell" reason that people use that think higher themselfs than they really are.
I like this solution, the random nature of BR mitigates a lot (some) of the skill imbalance anyway and I wouldn't want to harm the quickness of loading a new match.
Come to think of it - I actually don't know how they'd adjust rank in something like Apex though. Would it be based off the amount of solo kills you get? Or if you managed to kill a team that was higher ranked then your team then you'd somehow climb because of that?
Wingman needed nerf hard (at least on pc side) and that seems like good nerf.
I just wish it had some kind of damage drop off at longer ranges, its still better sniper than snipers.
They could make so much $ with selling all kinds of finishers for MTX that actually people could see and want to use.
Damage drop off should be nerfed agreed but 4 bullets is just dumb. And how about buffing the useless weapons that they think should be everywhere. Like why is every location filled with 4 mozombiques?
For God's sake when are they going to fix the slow motion glitch? It's happened to me twice this afternoon. And both times I had to team fight with it going on.
4 is fine, it was endgame ready before nerf straight when u pick it from ground, while other weapons need all kinds of parts before they are endgame ready.
Yeah well they dont split the balancing so it will never be balanced on both sides.
4 is obnoxious. Nerf the damage fall off at a distance or increase reload time or both. Theyre focusing too much on nerfing good weapons instead of balancing the weaker weapons to compete. Ive said this since day 1 when they were saying bad weapons should be much easier to find. Its not enjoyable to drop into an area and find a bunch of trash weapons and die or to find the one really good weapon and run over everyone with trash weapons.
The risk of a finisher is generally not worth it.
There is typically another squad mate around and you get no real reward for finishing.
It is much faster and safer to leave them or, if you are close enough to finish, then you can easily navigate around the knockdown shield.
I agree with you in the sense that it wouldn't be a big money maker for those reasons. But the inclusion of it in the game is still cool as a way to sort of Flex on the person you downed.

Watch without the audio on (dude is a cry baby) but this is legit my experience with the game right now and when I do finally get a gun its a mozombique. I just dont understand why they think this is acceptable. Giving early pubg a serious run for their money in the worst loot drop department.

It's actually a perfectly fine gun on the initial drop, wiped plenty of no-armor squads with it. I always dump it immediately but it's good for hot drops.
yeah, i agree. i just hope the person im going against doesnt have any equal or greater than gun. lol plenty of times id think the person in the next room didnt have anything worth while and they end up having a 99. RIP ME
This just shows Respawn have somehow built karmic justice into the loot system
Agreed. This kid is a piece of trash. Pure cringeworthy shit here.
Yeah RNG can suck at times, but honestly almost most of the time I find something other than a p2002 or moz pretty quick, it def happens where no good loot
but then i have also gotten runs with great weapons and top ups next to purple shields.
but that guy his toxic behavior and screaming is way worse than anything else. also I think using retard as an insult is right up there with homophobic slurs. fuck this guy.

Did they fix the fortified bug yet? Was trying Gibraltar earlier and wasn't sure.
Also looking for PS4 people to join up with. I'm a decent player, won't carry a team though, but great at teamwork and commination. PSN: crashnburn85

if you mute your teammates pings, their boxes/beacons are removed from the hud. so that had me scrambling like a fool trying to figure which box had my teammates beacon. fun.
also, right trigger to launch? that should be removed. there have been times where i've unintentionally tapped it and launched without wanting to.

right
the right trigger also initiates the launch. i dont know if it's a bug or intentional, but it can be annoying.
Game still seems to struggle fairly often if a bunch of people drop immediately into a hot zone doesn't it. On Xbox at least. Slow downs and the sound being absolutely borked.
Had a game yesterday where we dropped outside the bunker and my team spent 10 minutes without picking up a single piece of armour. We even killed 2 other teams that had no armour. It was ridiculous.
The loot clusters in this game need sorting out. It seems you go games without finding an item such as an extended mag only to drop into the next game and find at least 2 in every loot bin you open.
