Solos has put into perspective how bad I am at this game. It's a bit disheartening. Quarantine Zone is an awesome POI though, and overall I really like the Broken Moon map. The respawn mechanic is really cool. I really enjoy the thought process of do I go back for revenge / where I somewhat know what I'm getting into? Or do I roll the dice on repositioning somewhere else? It could be empty and give me a good ring position or it could be super hot and be the end of my match. Anyway, I don't see much point to dropping into corners of the map and ratting around, so for now I'm dropping into the thick of it and duking it out in an endless stream of 1v1s and 1v1v1s and 1v1v1v1s.

runchild posted:Not a fan of them changing the “play with X legend” daily from 2 matches to 4. I rarely play more than 4 matches, so now I’m either locked into one legend the whole time or I miss out on BP progress. Can always just no-fill and immediately quit a couple times but that’s lame. That change means I now never bother with that quest unless it's for a character I actually enjoy playing. I'll reroll once and if it doesn't come out the way I want I'll just ignore it.

 important notes: i was playing conduit, there were zero gibbies on either team, and halfway through the match alter's tac info box got stuck on my screen and only my passive worked. couldn't tac or ult. i played conduit the entire time Relyssa fucked around with this message at 16:25 on May 11, 2024 |

I'm enjoying this new version of Broken Moon vastly more than the original. The original was grey, boring, and had a lot of terrible POIs and terrible routing between them.

Fully agreed. Also, while I am absolute dogshit at solos, I really hope they keep them permanently after this. I'm so tired of no-fill queueing duos.

Unless you mean an entire team of Caustics vs Anyone Else and then yeah, that'd be OP as poo poo. NO ROOM IS SAFE Yeah, I was thinking a three stack, not a whole server. Funny how it'd go from best to worst.

Oh duh, I’m thinking one track mindset of popping ults at the same time. lol On that note, chaining wraith portals would be funny. Not sure how practical it would be.

saw this post claiming ~30% of pred/masters players were recently banned likely for cheating, which is pretty depressing on what vidja james is turning into https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/1ck9tyy/cheating_in_ranked_numbers/ (the number is probably more like 20% due to a bit more players existing than the 3rd party tools used could track, but still)

I can absolutely believe it. for as much of a reputation as tarkov has for being an extremely cheat ridden game, I ran into (and more importantly, actually get killed by) vastly more cheaters or people running weird config bullshit in apex than I have ever experienced in tarkov. apex is by a significant amount the least clean game i've ever played. before i more or less quit it reminded me of the worst eras of csgo ranked. i'm speaking specifically of diamond+ ranked apex to be clear

There did seem to be a lot more cheaters in Season 20 than usual. I figured the shitters who "must have" shiny badges but don't have the skills to fight their way up ranks had to bring out cheats when ratting was no longer a viable strat due to RP gain changes. The widely publicized cheat exhibition by Destroyer2009 in ALGS raising awareness of what kinds of advantages you can give yourself probably didn't help either.

My K/D is about half what it usually is this season so far. I don’t assume I’m facing cheaters but I’m getting wrecked.

what do we think the chances are of permanent solos after this? trios/duos/solos all at once, perpetually. i'm really hoping for it as i hate playing with randos but i fully expect the worst.

My money is on it going away and coming back a few times before becoming permanent, kinda like Control. That’s assuming it’s popular enough and doesn’t hurt their onboarding metrics like it did last time. That was their stated reason for only doing it once - it apparently made new players much less likely to continue playing. They must feel like things have changed if they’re bringing it back. Hopefully a well thought out solos mode multiple years into a game’s life hits different, cause I’m enjoying it.

The current solo mode has a lot going for it to make it feel so much smoother to play and avoid a lot of pitfalls. Battle sense alone helps immensely to prevent the pubg syndrome of hiding in a bathroom the entire match waiting to ambush someone who walks past.

World's Edge is by far the least interesting map to me. It just feels like there is so little of interest for too much of the map. Anyone else feel that way or am I missing something? Conduit's Ultimate is fun in theory but in dozens of matches I don't think I've hit one single enemy. Am I just unlucky? Edit 2 (gently caress this insomnia): Since the game released have there been any graphical or other engine improvements, I know the current gen consoles got 120Hz support recently and have further draw distances, but otherwise there don't seem to have been any improvements to lighting etc. WattsvilleBlues fucked around with this message at 04:13 on May 16, 2024 |

But this solos mode owns bones. Please don’t take it away respawn

Fwiw the Apex folks gave a talk at GDC this year outlining their different SBMM models that they've used, and the first time they had Solos would have likely been before they had any very strong SBMM as well. Now they have a much better system.

Whatever they use for matchmaking is pretty good compared with the likes of Call of Duty. I have won exactly 2 matches of Warzone with 1 million hours played, whereas I squeeze a win or two per week out with Apex.
