Yep, played one match on ps4 and now I can't get past the character selection screen
Yeah, read that the patch actually broke the game. Like if it needs any more breaking..
How do people know it's an outdated patch and not just a broken one?
Not managed a single game that hasn't been utter shit tonight.
Every match has had one of:
- obvious aim botter
- disconnecting team mates
- team mates who never connected in the first place
- skull town drop by a clueless jump master who gets us there last
- land somewhere and check 4 unlooted buildings but no gun or armour

I believe it was an old lifeline skin that was visible when she was selected. I'm just going off what I read in Reddit
Also haven't had any crashes. Just in case, I'm staying away from Lifeline for now. Since I realized I won't be getting that Pathfinder skin in the store, I ended up buying Caustic with my accumulated Legend Tokens after 70+ levels of ignoring him. Haven't tried him out yet, but maybe he'll be fun.
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? 😳
Could have added something that's unlocked with an upcoming update? Not unheard of for online games to add future content early. I have no idea what the file size was though.
Been playing on PS4 most of night, so it's far from broken.
I'm not saying something isn't wrong with the patch but nobody I partied with mentioned issues and no match seemed to end early due to dropped players. Looks like the acknowledge something may be happening so it's not silence from them.
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.
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.
It's alive and well on the X1. I actually tried to convert alot of my Blackout friends over to Apex and they just weren't having it.
My biggest problem with Blackout is something I didn't realize was a problem when I was playing it -- I cannot stand spectating my team for 15 minutes if I die early in the game. They solved the issue with Down But Not Out and Hot Pursuit but when those modes aren't in rotation I just can't stomach playing the game. In Apex it's really one of two outcomes in a fight...You either get full killed and the whole team gets killed shortly after OR one of your guys manages to grab your banners and respawn the team. Either outcome is fast and you're not sitting spectating the whole match.
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.
Everyone needs luck at the end to get a dub mate. Skills alone isn't enough!
Looking forward to see more of your plays :)
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:

Well done! FYI, there's no "baby pool", there's a full-party queue and an "everyone else" queue. You were playing against the "everybody else queue".
Not 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.

Nerf a gun, make it available more than ever so it doesn't become forgotten. The gun is still insane
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.
I know this feeling. No matter how fast you click, you still lose the looting race.
Damn! Last squad died outside the ring?
It was an action packed victory
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!
replying for discord info.
Tired of playing with randos!
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
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 !
It was an action packed victory
I love it. Your entire squad dealt 8 damage and you won.
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.

Yeah.
Whenever someone pings some really far out, middle of nowhere location I'm thinking 'Yo, do we wanna' play Minecraft or Apex Legends?', because if you just want to run around, loot and explore there's better games that facilitate that experience.
I'm not a fan of Respawn's games for the environmental design or loot experience. I'm 100% here for the gunplay and the loot is only a means to an end.
If it was a fast game (half the teams out during Round 1) then it's possible they didn't run into anyone the whole time.
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.
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 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.
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.
Eh, I don't know if that's really boosting. While he did refrain from killing a couple at the end, there's two that I did more then half damage to that he finished off in the first half, so it kinda evens out. The most tense fight was when I rushed the whole third to last team in the zone where he wasn't there to back me up at all. You can also see that as soon as I drop from the ship, there's 55 players left, wasn't even a full lobby...
I've seen streamers talk about going for high kills by killing two members of a squad and running away, letting the last one pick up their banners. When they revive the other two, the player can grind kills by killing them when they respawn, and possibly repeat this a couple times. Now that is what I'd call boosting.
Also, I hate dropping at Skull town, as it comes down to luck if you're gonna be fighting five squads there with a Mozambique or a Peacekeeper. And the sound almost always stops working there on PS4, it's just not fun for me.
