Yep, played one match on ps4 and now I can't get past the character selection screenReddit is a stream of posts saying the update is busted. Nice.
Yeah, read that the patch actually broke the game. Like if it needs any more breaking..Reddit is a stream of posts saying the update is busted. Nice.
Sounds like they accidentally sent out an outdated patch. If you select Lifeline it conflicts with the database and the game crashes. Think this is only on PS4.
Hey all,
We are aware of the crashing reports on PS4 since downloading the update today. For some context, this patch was only meant to update the PS+ skin rewards in the Playstation Store, no changes were made to the game and this was pushed on Playstation 4 only.
We'll provide updates here as we investigate what's causing the issue.
Yep we are aware of that and audio team is on it. We'll be talking more about what they'll be addressing next week.
How do people know it's an outdated patch and not just a broken one?
So let me get this straight. They come back and promise better communication, stress the importance of slow released updates so they can make sure the patches are tested properly and have no bugs, yet today they released a patch that 1. Broke the game on PS4 and 2. Didn't fix or really add anything to the game? 😳
Fortnite's given people some wack expectations and it's getting tiring to see the discourse constantly be about people acting like addicts only talking about needing an update, why isn't there an update yet, radio silence on some update. Like, damn, we got a countdown on the current season. Quit scratching and acting twitchy about it and come back in a month, Jesus. Fortnite's update model is one of the things that's drawn me away from the game over time. As impressive as it is how rapidly changing the landscape and mechanics are, there's also nothing about the game that really stays constant enough for me to get comfortable with it. My favourite drop spots disappear, weapons are constantly going in and out of rotation, one gimmick thing after another to get ditched... the game is entirely based around its ever changing identity among an increasingly low attention span audience.
I guess what I'm saying is I'd be interested to see where they're going with Apex's updates when they do hit, but I'd prefer them to be additive to the whole instead of a juggling act of things being constantly swapped around.
I wouldn't mind going back to Blackout from time to time either, but it is so deserted on PC. :( Maybe the Humble Monthly changed that.I agree and I don't play Fortnite myself. Rather than comparing Apex's update speed to Fortnite, I think a more fair comparison should be with Treyarch and Blackout. In the last 6 months they've added a steady drip feed of new modes, guns, operators, rewards, and a new close quarters map. They've also been doing big QOL changes like "Hold X" to swap all attachments off one gun to the next and did things like making looting a death stash easier.
We're 3 months into Apex's lifespan, which is hardly anything in the grand scheme of things, but they are pretty far behind what Treyarch was doing at this point of the game and I remember distinctly people complaining on the Black Ops OT about their speed of updating.
TL; DR - I definitely don't want Respawn / Apex going the Epic route but I think they need to look at Treyarch's update approach to Blackout.

Here's the video of my 21 kills match from last week. I edited out the less interesting parts, so it should be a fun watch the whole way through.
Everyone needs luck at the end to get a dub mate. Skills alone isn't enough!Thank you, really appreciate it! Luck played a huge part for there to be so many fights, but it made for a cool match and hopefully an entertaining video.
My PS4 is dying so thought I'd give Apex a go on PC but with my pad as my WASD skills are dead in the water.
I know the first 20 levels it puts you in the Baby New Player pool now I think, but when my team ditched me early on after their dumb deaths, I went on to win a solo Pathfinder match and hooted out loud. Checked my Shadowplay settings after the fact and nope, nothing recorded, so this is all that remains of my feat:
Nerf a gun, make it available more than ever so it doesn't become forgotten. The gun is still insaneNot played in a week and went in for a few games today.
Wingman's.....wingman's everywhere! I'm finding at least 3 in every area. Theyre now more common than Mozambiques.
I know this feeling. No matter how fast you click, you still lose the looting race.It seems like every time I'm competing with someone to pick up a gun, I always lose. And if it's an enemy, he gets a Peacekeeper and one shots me.

Damn! Last squad died outside the ring?

No they had just barely won the battle with the other squad and we just put a bullet into him as he was looting

OT title suggested by the_korben, show him some love for such a great pick!
What were you doing this whole time xD?No they had just barely won the battle with the other squad and we just put a bullet into him as he was looting
Haha pretty much yeah we dropped at Lake Slum then just followed the path to the circle which ended at Artillery. We were focused on looting and we didn't even hear anybody else until the end !What were you doing this whole time xD?
Don't tell me one of those matches you search for enemies but none to be found
This is amazing
amazing, but for me personally, those are the most boring games with no action.
yo, you were still focused on looting 19 mins in the game? i cant play like that. i cant make this into a loot simulator. In first 2 minutes, if no team is near us, i focus on loot then search for people because they have all the loot i need in their pretty deathboxes.
Here's the video of my 21 kills match from last week. I edited out the less interesting parts, so it should be a fun watch the whole way through.
Maybe there should be multiple dropships. I do agree that the people droppping away from everything makes the game pretty boring. On the other hand 10 teams dropping the same place is an issue too. 3 drop ships from 3 different directions would probably solve it.
I can see that. I'd just like to see a bit more even spread across the map. Specifically to avoid those matches where there's 1. 10 teams left after 1 minute and 2. we land in the swamp and don't meet anyone for 15 minutes. Would like to see a small map though, that emphasize closer quarter combat and more encounters.I think the fact that so many people drop skulldown demonstrates that people want those experiences that come from 10 teams dropping in the same place. Making an effort to disperse drops more sporadically across the map would only make things both slower paced and more random (hard to predict enemy team movements based on the initial drop).
I like that the drop and player behaviour is predictable, because it means I can predict their movements and future routes. For instance I'll often guess where a team will move based on where they dropped. "One team dropped at thunderdome, if we fight at market we'll get third partied from skulltown", based on that information, I'll position myself so the enemy team gets third partied, not mine.
Strategy like that becomes far more difficult with 3 ships, because I can't keep track of who's on each ship and where they're dropping.
This is nice, but it is a shame you had to boost it with your team mate. I know you mentioned that before, but you can really tell that your team mate stops shooting enemies he would have killed in the video.
It feels super difficult to get organically, at least for me. I'm rarely in a scenario where I have enough early game kills to think it might be possible. Dropping skull town makes sense, but you dropped cascades, which isn't a hugely popular zone (or a good drop zone imo).
When I'm playing with friends I'll often get several 10-16 kill, 2k damage games in a row, but never up near 20. We managed one 30+ squad kills in one of our matches yesterday, which is mad, shame there's no achievements for group kills also. I'd like to see badges for 20, 25, 30 squad kills.
