[ocean osprey]

this doesn't mean it's definitely this year

time to catch up hah

[blissful lake]

is the most recent legend good?

i havent seen anything she does

[stiff pebble]

mmm Vantage hasn't reached her potential yet

[ocean osprey]

catalyst khm

[stiff pebble]

forget she's the newest

i think Catalyst has, to some point

[blissful lake]

yeah the black goo one or something

[stiff pebble]

if you see a legend being used at pro level, then their definitely getting there

and she has

Vantage was the one that fell short imo

[ocean osprey]

interesting abilities though

[blissful lake]

i thought vantage was good

is that the one with the bird

[ocean osprey]

but I feel like she's the one lacking most identity of all legends

shes just a girl with a bat and a sniper

[stiff pebble]

ye, her lore doesn't help much

overall, a Sniper legend doesn't fit Apex much

– except to have fun in Pubs ofc

[ocean osprey]

oh I'm not really invested in lore but the overall character looks and voice quips is what I'm judging

[blissful lake]

i dont even remember mad maggie being added xd

[ocean osprey]

some may find it weird but character personality and design is just as important as a factor as abilities when choosing main

[ocean osprey]

oh shes kinda weird too

[blissful lake]

i saw some ball thing as her ult thats it

[ocean osprey]

abilities kinda useful i think

and I've heard she's gonna be meta next season with the shotgun buffs which work well with her passive

[blissful lake]

i need to get caught up with all these legend changes

any major weapon changes in the past few seasons?

[blissful lake]

@sage cairn bet youd like this legend xd

[ocean osprey]

uh lemme think

[sage cairn]

huh

[ocean osprey]

next season there'll be for sure, can't remember other important balance changes in the past

[stiff pebble]

Maggie's always been good

[stiff pebble]

just back and forth honestly

[ocean osprey]

but with s16 ARs' hipfire is nerfed and r301 receives extra damage nerf, mastiff buffs and golden shotgun bolt added, new AR also seems promising

[stiff pebble]

Nemesis is here to create chaos

they made it powerful on purpose

probably getting nerfed soon after

[ocean osprey]

casual marketing strat maybe

[sage cairn]

cool

[blissful lake]

vantage has a pet bat and you are a bat xd

[sage cairn]

who's vantage

[blissful lake]

eh just some legend in apex

[sage cairn]

aah nice

i might be playing tomorrow

[blissful lake]

is this the new ar thats in the new season>?

[blissful lake]

yeah im reinstalling it after about 9 months burn out for the update

[sage cairn]

i just intalled cuz never played it

installed*

[blissful lake]

you played any games on it yet?

[sage cairn]

yeah

the 3v3

but i know nothing about the game

[stiff pebble]

yes

[blissful lake]

ah arena, that mode is fun

[blissful lake]

damn i just looked at gameplay, that thing shreds

[sage cairn]

ill never playin the br

[blissful lake]

i actually like the br, the arena mode is getting replaced with tdm i think tomorrow

[sage cairn]

its ok

i prefer that

seems more fun

[blissful lake]

arena was actually fun, bit like val how you buy your abilities and such

[stiff pebble]

it was fun for the first month

[blissful lake]

true

played a few games then went back to br

[signal cedar]

BIG W

[craggy echo]

the Day Before is releasing another video

it can't possibly get worse for them, can it?

[abstract walrus]

So like even if the game exists and isn't just being rushed together now, literally everything they say is suspect.

[leaden hearth]

I feel like I've missed a lot 👀

[craggy echo]

this is the sort of thing where if it is amazing, then great

but there's no way I'd bet on it

at all

lets just say I don't think they realised beforehand that they'd be number 1 on Steam Wishlist

[blissful lake]

bro lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga1JR6hBbQw&ab_channel=Fntastic they also published this for 3 days time

[craggy echo]

why do I have the feeling that even that will be delayed by a few hours

[dark swift]

My looter shooter, shooter looter frens, what are your go-tos nowadays? Aside from Tarkov or things like modded STALKER.

[abstract walrus]

Skyrim

Joking, Probably Div 2

[dark swift]

Is Kunai holding you a gunpoint?

Please blink twice if yes

[abstract walrus]

Although I largely switched over from looter shooters to just playing Deep Rock

Kunai is holding me at gunpoint but not to play Div 2

[dark swift]

[wispy lynx]

Destiny 2

[dark swift]

I played so little of it, how far are you into the game?

[wispy lynx]

I'm so stoked for Lightfall, the witch queen was a great expansion

[blissful lake]

i grinded so hard to get most of the exotics before beyond light it was crazy

[wispy lynx]

I've done basically all missions and whatnot, and I'm going through the witch queen campaign again with a different class

If you have the money and time, it's super fun, especially if you can get a couple of homies together to play some missions

[dark swift]

Thats awesome! I do admit I never really been much of a sci-fi shooter fan, aside from trillions of hours on Halo CE when younger

[dark swift]

Money and time

[wispy lynx]

Man Bungie just hands out exotics like candy now I remember back in D1 when it was left to chance AND an ungodly amount of grinding

I did the vault of glass raid once and got vex mythoclast, though my cousin had done the raid a few times and never got it

[blissful lake]

they said they were gonna be unobtainable in BL, but now you can just buy em. got the ace of spades, thorn and wish ender within a few hours xd

[wispy lynx]

I just enjoy shooters that aren't afraid to be creative, that and a good PvE game, Destiny hits the spot for me

[dark swift]

That I can't argue with and agree

[wispy lynx]

Dude wish ender is so awesome, love that thing

[dark swift]

I love me a PvE shooter with shiny things to shove in my pocket

[wispy lynx]

Then you'll love destiny

Which I should probs grind out a bit more so I can complete this season's pass

[blissful lake]

ace of spades is so good in crucible, i always use the wish ender in campaign missions

[wispy lynx]

Sunshot is one of my go-tos for missions, I've been trying out a few different weapons for crucible and have recently loved the Ammit and Forerunner combo

Forerunner is also great for missions, you can basically one-shot a lot of enemies with precision damage

[blissful lake]

i use hunter class which is why i use the ace in crucible

[blissful lake]

same with the thorn, with that green stuff that hurts em

[wispy lynx]

Ye I just recently unlocked thorn since I've been seeing some folks using it in crucible as well, that's been a fun one

[wispy lynx]

Oh dope, I run warlock, but I've been recently trying out hunter since I've been playing warlock since D1

[blissful lake]

did you do the quest or just buy it? before BL came around, the quest took me so long to do

[wispy lynx]

I bought it, I didn't really get into D2 until BL/WQ

[blissful lake]

wish ender and the thorn quests were the hardest things ive done

[wispy lynx]

Wish ender was an awesome but painful quest, so worth it tho

[blissful lake]

it was just the ball part which i hated

[wispy lynx]

Lol yeah

[blissful lake]

the ace of spades was quite easy to get

shame cayde 6 is gone now

[wispy lynx]

Kinda sad that they archived so much stuff, I was really hoping to play some of the red war content and forsaken

Tho at least they had shadowkeep stuff, grinded that out before I moved on to BL

[blissful lake]

i loved forsaken

BL wasnt really interesting

[wispy lynx]

BL was very underwhelming, I honestly didn't care much for the story itself

It started off as interesting, but it just got so boring after a while, and then of course fighting eramis was eh

[blissful lake]

i just did it to get the ice stuff tbh xd

[wispy lynx]

I still haven't finished the subclass grindy missions, honestly warlock stasis is kinda mid

[blissful lake]

hunters statis was alright

i only used hunter because thats where i had some really good armour and some cool abilities

[wispy lynx]

[blissful lake]

dead island 2 finally went gold after all these years xd

[muted grotto]

I was trying to finish Beyond Light on my warlock, guess it's not that important.

I wanna get into raiding eventually, haven't done a single raid yet. I plan to make new loadouts based on this new system, new subclass first.

Speaking of Destiny, Eris and Elsie say hi!

[wispy lynx]

Yeah I def wanna do raids, I've only ever done 1 and that was back in like 2015

[muted grotto]

Yes they look quite fun. I just haven't had the dedication and desire to lfg.

[wispy lynx]

Yep, same lol

I normally just solo grind stuff

[signal cedar]

Is the game fun? never tried it

[wispy lynx]

Ye Destiny is a good time, but if you wanna really get the most out of it you gotta be willing to spend your life savings away

[muted grotto]

For me personally, the gameplay is solid and lore/world is great. I play casually and don't do much grinding. F2P doesn't have much content, it requires some investment to play the good stuff.

[signal cedar]

Is it pay to win or what? I genuinely don't know anything about it

[signal cedar]

Oh like expansions and stuff like that?

[muted grotto]

Yes. Main expansions are good but the seasonal stuff is repetitive.

[muted grotto]

I don't play PvP in Destiny, from my experience, PvP in games with PvE focus is bound to be unbalanced and not newcomer friendly.

[signal cedar]

damn thick 100gb download

[signal cedar]

Yes, I agree with that.

Just seen some PVE gameplay and looks satisfying

I'm going to give it a try

[wispy lynx]

Nah, not pay to win, but basically what sparky said, pvp is def unbalanced

Luckily they also have a good mixed game mode called gambit that is pve with brief moments of pvp, it's a good balance

[muted grotto]

That's nothing after COD Cold War. It was a 173gb+60gb download 🤣

[muted grotto]

Deposit those motes Guardian!

[wispy lynx]

"You're bleedin' motes, sista!"

[muted grotto]

Of course I read that in Drifter's voice

[wispy lynx]

Apparently I can do a decent Drifter impression, meme opportunity right there

[wispy lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/drifter-destiny2-ding-tag-flick-gif-16330328

[wraith ermine]

Gambit became a trash casual mode now...

Miss the time the gamemode was actually playable

Not fighting bot that doesn't even shoot you and do damage

also the luna howl pvp meta

[wispy lynx]

Eh, I'd take casual over competitive. I've enjoyed my grinds of gambit and iron banner

Tbh destiny has never been great for pvp, it honestly was in a better shape back in D1, but even then it was still unbalanced

[wraith ermine]

Why csgo is so much fun than valorant

I don't understand

Also easier to hit headshot

[wraith ermine]

Yes but now the gambit is more pvp than pve

You absolutely need to invade to win the game

Because pve is too easy

[wispy lynx]

I still don't really see what the problem is, I've still enjoyed myself. Sure there's a meta, but that's just Destiny for ya

[fallow sequoia]

yoyo fellow Destiny 2 players

what are major changes happening with the launch of Lightfall? Also I am a returning player so consider me new. what would be best practises for me to do when the expansion launches? I will also be a solo player for the major part so how will endgame look like for me?

[wraith ermine]

Idk but if they don't add decimal to the sensitivity im not returning to the game

[fallow sequoia]

I see, so any current destiny 2 players willing to answer this? lmk

[leaden hearth]

This is not a drill; I repeat, this is not a drill

[pure snow]

What are your thoughts on the day before?

the delay before*

[sage cairn]

Fake

Quoted by someone not me 👀

[dark swift]

Please lets keep gifs appropriate since we're all ages server, thank you

[pure snow]

[stiff pebble]

Apex new season today lesgoooooo

[ocean osprey]

waiting lobby here

🫡

[stiff pebble]

who you maining Antkop?

[abstract walrus]

I will finally actually use the birthright skin I got for Valk before I stopped playing the game

[ocean osprey]

became a rev main after running bh/seer mostly

[stiff pebble]

fellow BH main

i salute you

[ocean osprey]

thanks sir

[stiff pebble]

i went like LL > BH > Banga > Valk > Wattson

[ocean osprey]

I just loved the recon concept and felt lost without it after getting used to all the scans and the passive

[sage cairn]

At what time is the update?

[ocean osprey]

that's a diverse path

[stiff pebble]

10am PT

[ocean osprey]

2 hours 20 mins left

[stiff pebble]

i've always liked Recon or Support classes

[sage cairn]

[stiff pebble]

i also shifted because how my bffs play the game

[sage cairn]

I hope it is good

I rly want to play another game

[ocean osprey]

I was fond of recon but rev passive is something different

[stiff pebble]

it will be a good season

there's different modes to play now

[stiff pebble]

i stopped playing Recon after feeling confident with my game knowledge

i mained Rev for a while too

[ocean osprey]

ohh I'm familiar with the situation tho I wasn't affected that much, only during the 'want to be a sweaty wraith main' period

[stiff pebble]

just for fun

[sage cairn]

The girl with the bat as a pet is the new one coming with the season right?

The sniper girl

[ocean osprey]

noope

[abstract walrus]

She's already here

[dawn elbow]

How's everyone enjoying Apex? ^^

[ocean osprey]

she was the s14 legend

[stiff pebble]

Vantage's been here for two seasons now

[sage cairn]

Ah Kk

[abstract walrus]

Who was the newest one?

[ocean osprey]

there won't be a new legend this season

[stiff pebble]

Catalyst

[abstract walrus]

I stopped paying attention after uh, Mad Maggie

[sage cairn]

Idk if I play her or the robot with the cool feet

[ocean osprey]

always

[stiff pebble]

depends on your play style

[ocean osprey]

ash?

[sage cairn]

Still need to try it out

[stiff pebble]

i'm looking forward to this season – way too refreshing

[sage cairn]

I love fast

[abstract walrus]

Newcastle looks nice

[stiff pebble]

it'll be hard not to play Apex

[ocean osprey]

I actually um made a stupid mistake with Ash

[dawn elbow]

It looks fun!

[sage cairn]

But I don't like the crazy portal girl

[stiff pebble]

i love NC – my friend plays it

[abstract walrus]

I'm a support and mobility person so Valk and Newcastle kinda looks nice

[sage cairn]

She's ... Weird too weird

[abstract walrus]

I also like Loba so

[stiff pebble]

Path will be good for you

[sage cairn]

Have to look that up

[stiff pebble]

this face

Pathfinder

the robot

[halcyon sage]

didn't try it yet, trying to 100% Crash Bandicoot Trilogy

[sage cairn]

Aaaah

[stiff pebble]

unless you refer to Rev... or Ash haha

[sage cairn]

The tutorial guy

Robot

Thing

[stiff pebble]

yes, Pathy

[sage cairn]

Mhmm

The grappling

[stiff pebble]

yeye

[lament pilot]

Løba

[sage cairn]

Kk I have to try it

[ocean osprey]

I had 2 inapp purchases before Ash came out, one EA play for the s4 battle pass then the bloodhound lifeline edition bundle, now I was stupid enough to spend those coins from the bundle on Ash's launch bundle which I really regret

[abstract walrus]

I love teleporting with Loba

[lament pilot]

💍

Yuss

So satisfying

[ocean osprey]

I was like oh ash's character is cool let's start maining them and collecting every stuff

[stiff pebble]

noooo

haha

big mistake, with any legend tbh

[ocean osprey]

2300 or so apex coins and like 3k crafting mats gone

[stiff pebble]

F

[lament pilot]

F

[sage cairn]

Yeah I know nothing about what you talking about xd

[stiff pebble]

also, everyone should play this season

tons of friends collabed in the anniversary items

[ocean osprey]

only to have these stats

[stiff pebble]

and if you complete, you get heirloom shards

[sage cairn]

[stiff pebble]

so yes, highly encourage people to play Apex during anniversary

[sage cairn]

Looks cool

[ocean osprey]

2 anniversary packs for free looks amazing

[lament pilot]

Is it hard to complete

[stiff pebble]

i fucking love those trackers

[stiff pebble]

just play the game

challenges aren't hard

and there's plenty of time

[ocean osprey]

but I feel like I have the best banner design for bloodhound, opened the coolest stuff luckily

[lament pilot]

OwO might give it a shot!

[stiff pebble]

i also have the best banners for BH

actually BH is the legend i used when they put my deathbox in the game

[ocean osprey]

show me plz👀

also

anyone interested in legend quips or is it just me?

[stiff pebble]

i don't have pics rn, but you can find my death box from flyers in WE

[ocean osprey]

woo

[stiff pebble]

they randomly rotate – don't know if the list has been updated

[ocean osprey]

not KC?

[stiff pebble]

ye that too

KC

i meant

not WE

[ocean osprey]

does WE have flyers ._.

oh nvm

[stiff pebble]

ye i got confused, WE has bots

we haven't had KC in a while

[ocean osprey]

mine looks like this and I'm really happy I got that banner frame and pose

oh didnt let them finish pose :(

[stiff pebble]

i have all BH skins

they go so hard

[ocean osprey]

uhhh

[ocean osprey]

YES

I have 5 legendaries for BH

intimidator from bundle, frosthaven twitch drop iirc, opened imperial warrior, great winter for legend tokens and accidentally bought hunter within

double-clicked its name in the selector

I wanted to see how it looks like

and it was exactly in the height of the crafting button

[stiff pebble]

aaah

still, good skins!

[ocean osprey]

yup!

my friends said hunter within looks terrible

I don't understand em

[stiff pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/you-wouldnt-get-it-joker-smoking-gif-15952801

[pure snow]

c-crossplay

aim asist :d

[craggy echo]

balance, it can always be balanced

[pure snow]

noo nooo

i can see in my dream

[fickle atlas]

I wonder, if apex mobile is shutting down

does that mean we get the exclusive legends?

[blissful lake]

a new rebrand lmao

theyve done about 3 now

[craggy echo]

no

they said that wasn't a thing they were working on 😭

one day though, if they are ever in need of a new legend, they could port one over from Mobile

but not in the near future

[fickle atlas]

I wanna play that one dj girl

[wispy lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/chromacat-chromacatlive-twitch-dance-moves-dance-gif-24849033

[untold hearth]

no rn they aren't focusing on mob games atm

According to rumors a significant portion of the budget has allocated for the development of upcoming Bf.

[fickle atlas]

battlefield?

but that's dice

and I know they arent, but I do wish they would port the legends over

[untold hearth]

I'm curious then who provide funding to DICE

[fickle atlas]

it's always been EA

but apex is by respawn

meaning most of the decision is made by them

[abstract walrus]

I kept getting absolutely melted by a guy on Apex

I am level 23

He's uh, 400

[fickle atlas]

im going to be doing the melting with the new weapon

[ocean osprey]

dw, matchmaking will be like this

Well, couldn't play last night as it was downloading

but my duoing friends were constantly flaming the new nemesis ar

it must be good then

[abstract walrus]

I've been sitting on the menu and I thought it was playing Christmas music

It's just Christmasy sounding jazz

[fickle atlas]

it really is

probably better than the 301

[abstract walrus]

How do collection events even work

You have to buy the packs right?

[fickle atlas]

it's a cash grab

but this one only has free stuff

but yeah, you buy packs from the event and if you get all 24 stuff, you get the heirloom for "free"

[abstract walrus]

Buying a pack has at least one of the event stuff right?

[shell stream]

You mean a apex pack? Yeah

[fickle atlas]

yeah

the even packs

will always have one thing

[abstract walrus]

me about to spend $180 for packs

[fickle atlas]

150 total

smh

[abstract walrus]

I have EA plus so it might only be 140

[fickle atlas]

tbh, I spend 300

[shell stream]

You ain't gonna save that for THE FINALS 🤨

[fickle atlas]

for two herilooms

[abstract walrus]

It is

$143

[fickle atlas]

I know lol

I meant total

got the bloodhound and valk

[ocean osprey]

basically same kunai glowing orange and new animations, will be sold as a new heirloom

[blissful lake]

A whole new heirloom but it’s a recolour? Damn. Her purple kunai got some new animations I saw

[ocean osprey]

when did it get new anims?

I think you're referring to the animations of the new kunai which supposedly only apply to the new

But a few days ago it was unclear

We thought we're getting animation updates

[blissful lake]

Nah, her old one got some really cool new animations in the update

[ocean osprey]

Oh nvm then

you must've played it

I watched a vid yesterday where they stated it's only for the new

[blissful lake]

I didn’t even know there was a new one until now

[ocean osprey]

heirloom recolor☠️

[spark gale]

Opened crypto pack and got legendary

Banner frame

[ocean osprey]

ayy

I have 2 of them for crypto and had 5 matches with him

I also crafted hype beast skij for the meme

[blissful lake]

ash is free later on this month

[blissful lake]

Lmao I packed that

[spark gale]

Mfw 300k legend tokens

[blissful lake]

I haven’t got any of the most recent people that’s it

Close to having them all

(hopefully it doesnt interfere with rules?)

[wintry mural]

Hopefully

[dark swift]

Hey fren, those can be posted in #🎨┇off-topic-art as long as the correct credits are due, taking that its your work

Shouldn't be any issues with it

Also fine here too, if just for talks

[halcyon sage]

hey Antkop! took the liberty to delete the datamining messages, for now try and spoiler anything related to datamined content please

[spark gale]

I think you a word

[stiff pebble]

anyone playing NFS Unbound?

[dark swift]

How is it?

I've heard many hot takes tbf

[stiff pebble]

well

maybe it's because i stopped playing the franchise for a while

but the game is really refreshing

and challenging

[dark swift]

Oh nice!

I haven't touched NFS since like...Carbon?

[stiff pebble]

i played the reboot one and Payback

which weren't that bad

Unbound goes back to the Underground vibes

for the most part

[dark swift]

Oh hell yeah

[stiff pebble]

the story so far is trash, characters are not good at all

[dark swift]

I think I'm kinda cursed though with racing games, nowadays all I care is if I can go sideways

[stiff pebble]

but gameplay is legit good

i honestly play NFS 'cuz i like recreating cars from Fast & Furious

[dark swift]

[stiff pebble]

i think they overlooked some UI and animation stuff

but for the most part, the game is just really fun and rewarding – i recommend get in it on sale

[dark swift]

Might keep an eye on it then, I've wanted to check new racing games in general

Got bored of Forza and CarX for the most part

[stiff pebble]

i never got into Forza

i did play Gran Turismo

[dark swift]

I also wish there was something similar to the enjoyment of having well done FiveM racing servers

[dark swift]

GT2 times were golden

NFS always reminds me that, to me asking someone what was their first car pick

Is like asking someone whats their pokemon starter

For Underground that is

[stiff pebble]

haha indeed!

you could always "judge" someone by that pick

i did that with my friends. i was like "what car did you pick" and they were like "oh this Nissan" – booooooo

[dark swift]

I don't know why but I was really allured by the Focus

[stiff pebble]

i usually picked something a Civic

[dark swift]

I guess because it was always a common vehicle to see when growing up in SA, both Focus and Peugeot

[stiff pebble]

this time around i picked an Eclipse 'cuz sadly Toyota doesn't allow their cars anymore in NFS

[stiff pebble]

aaaah that makes sense!

my family has always had Honda, so i guess that's why i always picked a Civic

[dark swift]

Civics will always be a classy tuner though

[stiff pebble]

i really wanted the Supra this time so that was sad

i do miss the fine tuning – they didn't add that in this game

[dark swift]

Thats sad

[stiff pebble]

that was so busted for the time it came out

[dark swift]

Does it have modding support by any chance?

[stiff pebble]

you mean the game per se?

[dark swift]

Ye

[stiff pebble]

i don't really know

but there sure are several features that i thought were gonna come back

[dark swift]

Apparently not official but mods are starting to pick up nice

[stiff pebble]

oooh niiiice

[dark swift]

Sadly would get you yeeted from MP for sure

*can a simple deer just dream of having a JDM game where you can chill with people and do car meetings? Also maybe engineswap *

[stiff pebble]

hahaha

i haven't touched the MP

i miss Split-Screen days

they even took out Drag racing events

[dark swift]

Whaaaaaaaaaaat

[stiff pebble]

that's like.. the heart and soul of illegal street racing

[ocean osprey]

oh, sorry, I'll be more careful from now

to make things clear

can datamined content be sent when marked as spoiler?

[dark swift]

For the time being yes, as long as its already released. We might discuss more about the subject later on

And no need to be sorry, we didn't really mention anything on that end, so you wouldn't have known

[chrome yoke]

This game has been sus since Day One.

There I found their new name.

[patent hemlock]

ye these are mine haha

welp, the drawing itself of the robot, and the forklift is a 3d modeler's interpretation of my 2d concept

[dark swift]

Looks awesome!

[patent hemlock]

👀👍

[tiny fern]

Just seen the Xdefiant beta Is tomorrow anyone playing?

[abstract walrus]

Considering it's under a NDA I'm not sure anyone would be allowed to talk about it

[silent anvil]

Anyone here playing the new season of Apex legends?

And if yes, what platform?

[abstract walrus]

I got my first heirloom

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-infinity-war-gamora-what-did-it-cost-gif-14001403

[blissful lake]

fr?

[blissful lake]

damn nice

i would probably get octanes or revenants if i ever got one

i like wraiths kunai but i dont play her

[abstract walrus]

I like Valk

So

[blissful lake]

any other cool animations for valks?

[abstract walrus]

Noodle soup

[silent anvil]

Nice, I have the same one. Hoping Ash gets hers next

[patent hemlock]

i heard from a friend Bloodhound is getting a second one

when some characters havent even gotten their first 🤔

[blissful lake]

wraith is getting a recoloured kunai too

[patent hemlock]

pain

[dark swift]

Just a reminder for the Apex folk here, since we discussed this earlier - If you're mentioning datamined content, please add a disclaimer and spoil it

[patent hemlock]

👍

[dark swift]

[craggy echo]

@blissful lake you played Prey?

[blissful lake]

i played prey years ago, had it installed on my pc recently but never got around to playing it

[craggy echo]

play it, it's great

I absolutely love their level design

really open ended, super creative

the open world aspect does wonders for this game

not a fan of the 3rd act but that's for you to decide

[blissful lake]

ill probably play it again when i have time, i got it free on epic a bit ago

[uneven urchin]

you sure you're talking about the same prey? there are two versions haha

the newer version that's more corporate themed and the OG Native Murican alien shooter

[craggy echo]

the newer version

which is a bit.. different

the Arkane one, yeah

[modest birch]

I can share some links for the Insider Sessions Crossplay Test for XDefiant..if someone wants of course..

[craggy echo]

how is it?

[uneven urchin]

XDefiant is either gonna be a good under the radar game.. or It'll die and we'll forget it'll ever happen

[blissful lake]

yeah agreed

i played it like last year and it just wasnt fun

[uneven urchin]

it was forgettable

no real new mechanics..

using existing franchises to fill the character options..

guns are okay but also feel rather... random

[wispy lynx]

Tbh the gameplay I've seen for it just doesn't look very good

[uneven urchin]

I mean I played it.. its really.. yeah it won't stick

[wispy lynx]

It doesn't seem to know what it wants to be, like what aesthetic or style they're going for

[uneven urchin]

I like a bunch of it seperately but it doesn't really hold as a package

[blissful lake]

it used to be like a punk aesthetic but thats just gone now

[uneven urchin]

They just took The Division, Watch Dogs and… uh.. another of their IPs and said.. this is a teambased heroshooter now

Good luck have fun k bye

[craggy echo]

man a LOT of GTAVI has been 'revealed' and it still doesn't seem like scratching the surface

[wispy lynx]

[abstract walrus]

You got bamboozled

I'm sorry you have to suffer

[wispy lynx]

?

I don't even play TF2

I was just happy for my homies

[abstract walrus]

Oh

You haven't gotten bamboozled but the homies have

Man playing season 2 CoD just makes me wish The Finals was out. I really want a fresh shooter

[sharp cliff]

Wasnt the video / trailer, cover art and everything literally just rip off / full duplications of other games

[muted grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gespJTaxBM&ab_channel=Operation%3AHarshDoorstop

Anyone played this? Reminded me of Battlefield Portal with its different eras

[fickle atlas]

cant say I've ever played it

[muted grotto]

It just launched today on steam, I'm gonna give it a try, it's free.

[lament pilot]

hello everyone

it is a blue drake

[craggy echo]

For anyone who has a PlayStation, Horizon Forbidden West is now added to Ps Plus!

crazy considering how recently it released

[fallow sequoia]

they are generating hype for its expansion

it's a pretty smart move

[craggy echo]

they've done it for Jedi Fallen Order too

makes sense

[crystal bloom]

apparently it's just a worse squad

haven't played it myself though

[pure snow]

@sage cairn i need you

i am losing all match

[sage cairn]

i cant play rn

[muted grotto]

It does need some polish, GPU utilization was low for me. It can get to a decent place eventually and f2p is a plus.

[modest birch]

Barebones is the name of the game. The EA tag is no excuse for the sorry state this project has released in. Being sold on a promise or stuff like that is not enough. They intend to build a community of modders yet provided this and cover themselves with the excuse "we provided a ♥♥♥♥ FPS experience as a foundation to do research on what the community wants!". I guess a good start would be a good foundation. This is not one.

[wispy lynx]

Yeah I saw that the reviews were mixed, not a great start. Some were saying that it's better than squad, but squad had already been doing great for years until they announced the new microtransactions

[muted grotto]

It is in early access, maybe too early to judge it but what do I know.

[sage cairn]

finally

master is next

[blissful lake]

welcome to my rank lmao

[wraith ermine]

anyone know a fix for a line of stuck pixel on my monitor ?

I've tried everything

[blissful lake]

dead pixels?

[wraith ermine]

It's not black

it's like rgb

but stuck

It appeared after I just cleaned my monitor with a microfiber cloth

[wispy lynx]

I think it's perfectly valid to judge their content, despite the early release tag. Many devs now use early release as an excuse to underdeliver or just to cover themselves if something isn't up to par. Yes, there are many devs that legitimately use that tag, so I'm not talking about them. In the case of OHD, they made a very lofty claim and are attempting to take on well-established titles despite not really having anything at all

That's just my view on the game

[wraith ermine]

Focckk dude my monitor is new :/

first time this happens

[spark gale]

if it's new then bring it back

[wraith ermine]

yep

supposed to be a good monitor tho

ZOWIE XL2411K

[wispy lynx]

Is it like a single line of pixels that are being all weird?

[wraith ermine]

yes

[wispy lynx]

At least what's helped as a temporary fix for me is tapping the top or sides or back of the monitor. Tho idk if that works for newer monitors, worked on an old one I had

[wraith ermine]

but just wanna be sure that it doesn't get worse

like pressing the top and the bottom or side of the monitor ?

[muted grotto]

New 2042 specialist||https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/the-world-of-battlefield-2042/buried-secrets||

[uneven urchin]

what I did, but might be a little controversial.. is tap it

fixed pretty much every pixel like that haha

[wispy lynx]

tap it firmly but not hard

[uneven urchin]

I just did directly on the pixel

[wispy lynx]

ye i dont recommend that lol, depending on what the monitor is like that could cause further damage

[spark gale]

if it's the whole line then doing some "pressure testing" at the top or bottom would be better

[wraith ermine]

monitor off or on ?

Dont want to damage further

for the moment it's just annoying... But playable with

[still kernel]

Is anyone playing hunt showdown here 👀

[fallow sequoia]

i feel for you

[fallow sequoia]

got a stuck pixel as well on my LG monitor

[wraith ermine]

we can't see well

but there is something

my phone screenshot is very bad

[fallow sequoia]

my stuck pixel is stuck on green

so i can see it clearly in dark colors

[wraith ermine]

wait why the fuck we don't see anything

I could see on my phone

sec

[still kernel]

The resizing ?

[wraith ermine]

we can see on the middle but it's very small

like 3 green dot

[wispy lynx]

hm, i still dont see it

[blissful lake]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DK2LLuIfwU&ab_channel=Battlefield @abstract walrus i wonder if this season is gonna be good like this one

[abstract walrus]

Hopefully

[blissful lake]

people thinking its adding earthquakes from the little teaser thing

[wraith ermine]

the thing green you see is my problem, it's like the pixel are broken

@wispy lynx

[craggy echo]

green thing?

can't see it

[wispy lynx]

Ah now I see it, very faint tho

Almost looks like a scratch on the screen

[wraith ermine]

well yep... Look like it got perforated

Im gonna return it but fuck I'll have to play with a 60 hz for some days

[blissful lake]

what on earth was this lol

[abstract walrus]

Cruise Missile strike

[blissful lake]

damn looked sick

[silent anvil]

Anyone down for doing a couple matches in Apex Legends while we wait for the The Finals beta?

[wraith ermine]

sure

what's your apex name

[tiny fern]

Anyone struggling to play Xdefiant??

Keep getting an Error it's great fun

[abstract walrus]

@sage cairn I have le bat

Yeap. It's a new story EE

Looks great 👍

[sage cairn]

its me celebrating!!!! aawwnnn

[fickle atlas]

So much to read, gotta read it soon

[limpid pewter]

Does anyone play BF4?

[fickle atlas]

Was this an event? Cause I know something like this happens but beyond the map boarders

[abstract walrus]

Easter Egg thing

[fickle atlas]

Ouh

Need to know how

[uneven urchin]

tis done

[limpid pewter]

Nice Job.

[uneven urchin]

I found out that enchanting my gear and upgrading it makes me very op

I stacked one of the attacks’ damage to a point I could 3 shot him if not for the plot armor that made it.. 5 shots

[wispy lynx]

Dang bruv, I just got to the ||dragon fighting tent||

[uneven urchin]

Haha well my advise is.. save up all the resources for the end

[wispy lynx]

[uneven urchin]

Make at least 15 wiggenfelt potions

[wispy lynx]

I'm just taking my sweet time lol, I've been doing a lot of side quests

[uneven urchin]

And upgrade your gear to the best you can

[wispy lynx]

Bet

[uneven urchin]

I was lvl 33 when I did it

[wispy lynx]

Ah, I'm currently level 30

[uneven urchin]

Haven’t finished all the sidequests yet

Got … 7 more to go I think

[wispy lynx]

There are some pretty sweet side quests

[uneven urchin]

According to the fieldguide

[wispy lynx]

Hm

Dang you've been on that grind

[uneven urchin]

Yeah just got alohamora III and now just going through the map getting shit done

I’ll damn near complete the game on my first playthrough and then I’ll do a second quickie as a hufflepuffer

[limpid pewter]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n1oFPjVt7Ls

I like the color of the new season 👀

[uneven urchin]

If it aint Titan Mode I’m done

[abstract walrus]

It will not be titan mode

[wispy lynx]

wrong EA franchise

[abstract walrus]

I am now saving up for Apex collection events

I've been playing it s lot

[limpid pewter]

Bf4l

[wispy lynx]

if they ever have a titan event in apex I may consider coming back briefly

besides that I ain't picking it up again lol

[tropic plank]

Give me Titanfall 3 Respawn please T_T

[blissful lake]

Not more money on apex…

[abstract walrus]

I have become a problem

[blissful lake]

You need to stop before it’s too late

How much did you spend to get heirloom?

[wispy lynx]

too much probably

[abstract walrus]

$140

Best money I've ever spent

[stiff pebble]

[abstract walrus]

Spear I blame you

[stiff pebble]

i am the Apex preacher here

[abstract walrus]

This is entirely, unequivocally, your fault.

[stiff pebble]

i take full responsibility

[abstract walrus]

I was not planning on playing it again, definitely not.

[stiff pebble]

tbf, this is the season to come back or get into Apex

[abstract walrus]

<-- is a liar

[stiff pebble]

hey, if you're enjoying the game that's all that matters

[timber quartz]

Does any of you playing smite?

[craggy echo]

but yeah, the abilities and guns

(in apex) do work well enough that really it can fit any mode

even if it were objective based

the base gameplay is just fun

[runic meteor]

I agree, although I really think Arena could have benefit a rework of legends abilities

And some legends are borderline useless in gamemode with respawns

[wispy lynx]

I used to enjoy it tho I'm at that point where the hitboxes mixed with the speed is too much for me

[blissful lake]

new 2042 operator and guns look good

[tropic plank]

That trailer was pretty slick not gonna lie.

[runic meteor]

The trailer was nuts yeah! Each season manages to pull me back in for a couple days to see the changes, then I hop out. Looking forward for this new map 🙂

[muted grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQeh4BJxfMg&ab_channel=Ubisoft

Haven't paid attention to Siege's story for a while but this was rather cool.

[blissful lake]

siege always has some really cool cinematic trailers

[muted grotto]

||So this Deismos is apparently mad that Harry turned Team Rainbow into some sort of sports club from what used to be a CT unit. Can't blame him tbh lol ||

[blissful lake]

||lmao i thought it was vigil at first ngl, didnt need to kill harry though.||

[abstract walrus]

They finally made a character based off of the community

[blissful lake]

2042?

[muted grotto]

||Maybe they're looking to get more serious in tone from now on||

[blissful lake]

i was always somewhat interested in the siege story and cinematics. i kind of just stopped keeping up, with all the new ops all coming out.

six invitational always brings out some cool ones|| (probably wont this year with harry being dead)||

[muted grotto]

Yeah it's high quality CGI. Seasonal ones are low budget, cartoony.

[muted grotto]

||It kinda got weird with team rainbow splitting and all, and I wasn't playing the game as much. But the game is still one of a kind. ||

[blissful lake]

||i never even knew team rainbow split lmao || game is a bit dead now but was great few years back

[abstract walrus]

I found the siege story to be completely silly and entirely nonsensical

[muted grotto]

Probably not as relevant as it was a few years ago but I think there will always be a demand for such a game. My suggestion would be to make a second iteration of the game with a new engine and all the 'fat' trimmed out.

[abstract walrus]

Harry takes control of R6 from Six when she uh, dies or retires or something, and then completely stops them as a CT unit and starts having them do, and I hate to say it, cringy airsoft level Olympic tournaments for some reason, that causes a few of the operators to get fed up with that since they are here to help people and they went to leave with Nighthaven. (Which by itself also makes no sense since R6 is made up of enlisted people sent to R6, so by going to Nighthaven they're literally deserting their posts and should get arrested immediately).

[muted grotto]

It is. It's mostly about the ops really.

[blissful lake]

yeah the tournaments were odd, cgi little film things were cool to watch though

what do you think of the new 2042 season trailer kyne?

[abstract walrus]

I like it

[blissful lake]

new map seems cool

the new operator is for recon, hopefully it actually suits the playstyle

[tropic plank]

Looks like she will be an infiltration specialist which is neat. It stinks that her and Paik don't really benefit from Recon's passive if you play them the way they are meant to be played though. I think the recon passive in general needs a rework. Give them like an upgraded spotting or better handling of guns on single shot or something, anything besides steady scopes on ONLY snipers.

[limpid pewter]

@blissful lake Wish Battlefield would bring back Field Upgrades. That was one of the best systems that never returned.

[blissful lake]

they said that theyre bringing back some old features in the next season so you never know

[limpid pewter]

The specialist system would have paired well with Field Upgrade.

I always was disappointed when Field Upgrades didn't return. However the BF community freaked out about it. Claiming it was a COD rip off.

"YOU GUYS ADDED PERKKS, WTFFFFF." Said the community.

Alas, All the things I love are abandoned. 😦 Getting old sucks.

[muted grotto]

Class specific perks should be a thing

[wispy lynx]

idk if this new season will be enough to bring me back

the game still doesnt run as well as it should, a lot of bugs and glitches are still present

still nothing that really says “battlefield” besides the somewhat decent reintroduction of the class system

[muted grotto]

More people are playing bf1 and bf5, that says it all I think.

[wispy lynx]

yep

i’m still not very big on BFV, but i can at least say that i can run that and BF1 at 1440p on my laptop, meanwhile 2042 struggles to run decently at 1080p, DLSS or not

[muted grotto]

Could be the 128 player count but what do I know. At least it is fine on consoles(not talking about last gen, that version is a joke)

[abstract walrus]

It's the 128

It runs perfectly fine on 64

[wispy lynx]

128 i cant run at all (in a playable sense), but 64 has its moments still

plus im honestly disappointed in the lack of support for portal, literally nothing new since its release

[muted grotto]

I always go for exodus if it's available

[wispy lynx]

yeah i did that most of the time, most of the portal maps were better than much of 2042’s anyway, so it was good that they were put into rotation

[muted grotto]

yeah that's rough

[wispy lynx]

and i’m still miffed about the lack of a singe player campaign, they have written so much lore for 2042 they could clearly have done it

[muted grotto]

You know I'm currently playing black ops cold war's campaign and what I realized is that there is just so much intricate details and various assets created just for campaign. Then I see why 2042 dropped it.

[wispy lynx]

i still personally think it wouldve been feasible, like with BF1 and BFV they for some missions used already existing maps. idk i was just honestly hopeful and originally defended 2042 since i initially enjoyed my time with it, only for it to keep delivering underwhelming updates and fixes that should’ve been part of the game from the start

[limpid pewter]

@muted grotto Play the old CODs pre 2013. They have shared assets between Campaign/MP Because the teams making those modes were much closer. I.e all Treyarch. Cold war was developed by 5+ studios.

The average person can only know 200 ish people at a time.

It's literally impossible for these people to work together effectively.

The best games of the 7th gen were developed by teams of about 80.

[muted grotto]

There isn't really enough assets in 2042's multiplayer to use in a potential campaign anyways. They put a single ladder in houses in Doha and nothing else.

[wispy lynx]

yeah no kidding

their game’s map reworks involve shipping containers, sandbags, and those stackable concrete bricks

[limpid pewter]

@wispy lynx Not to mention all of those assets looked ripped from BF4

[muted grotto]

2042 relies heavily on creating beautiful looking outdoor environments to cover up lack of detail in other places. That's why they keep releasing the maps that they do.

[limpid pewter]

I don't think 2042 looks good at all.

Higher rez, sure.

As far as actual asset quality, It's a new low.

[muted grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywIZQUL7HAE&ab_channel=USASpecialist

This video dives deeper into this particular topic

[wispy lynx]

yep that really hits it on point

[limpid pewter]

I feel like Frostbite Engine was designed to be a pain in the ass for EA. Sort of like a kill switch.

So that way if EA ever pulled an Activision 2009 moment. They'd be screwed.

Just conjecture..

[abstract walrus]

128 players killed any hope the maps would be designed well

[wispy lynx]

Ye true

[craggy echo]

what's wrong with the maps? haven't played, curious

[abstract walrus]

It's also why the visuals and destruction took a big hit. You can't have overly detailed maps or destructable envrioments when you have so many people on it.

[wispy lynx]

There apparently we're discussions for precious BF games of making 128 player game modes, but they had tested it out and said it wasn't as fun. Tbh after playing 128 before it got worse, it was just ok, nothing remarkable. Just more people

[muted grotto]

well tbh they can use whatever engine they want. They would have to pay for royalties but they wouldn't bother developing an engine. Embark are using unreal but it reminds me of older bf games developed in frostbite. So engine and what devs do with that engine both matter.

[abstract walrus]

Frostbite isn't the issue

[wispy lynx]

Many of them are rather flat, and you basically NEED to have a vehicle or a good means of transportation to get from one objective to the next

[craggy echo]

oh well yeah

it would be super hard to do a map with multiple verticalities

with 128 ppl

it's just a different paradigm

[wispy lynx]

Frostbite was actually part of the issue, I heard that 2042 runs off of an unfinished version of frostbite when they were transitioning from V

[craggy echo]

shoulda had serverside destruction smh

[wispy lynx]

Which is why it doesn't run well compared to previous BF games, even on last and current gen consoles

[limpid pewter]

It's part of it. EA lost a majority of The engineers who created Frostbite. Coupled with a reliance on cheap labor and contract labor.

[wispy lynx]

That's something dice and 343 have in common

[limpid pewter]

EA is the issue at the end of the day.

Incompetent management.

[abstract walrus]

Honestly I'd blame dice more than anything else

[wispy lynx]

I feel like we can only blame EA so much

[abstract walrus]

From what I hear EA didn't make them try to make Battlefield into a battle royale, most of the issues with 2042 are from DICE alone.

[wispy lynx]

It's easy to just blame management, but if the devs aren't very competent or creative, it's going to be bad on multiple levels

EA's greed definitely exacerbated the problems, but I don't think they were the source of all the issues that they still have

[blissful lake]

do you remember firestorm from bfv

[limpid pewter]

Is Dice really even Dice anymore?

I think not.

[abstract walrus]

Yeap, it was DICE that decided to not release it for free when every other BR was free and it killed the mode immediately.

[wispy lynx]

I guess we’ll see with the next installment

but honestly I think the next BF won’t be fantastic either

[abstract walrus]

There are plenty of talented and competent devs at DICE, I don't like saying that the entire studio is just incompetent untalented people, it's very obvious that at least the devs and middle management are incredibly invested in the franchise and it's the higher ups trying to reinvent the wheel that sunk 2042 before it even had a chance to be great.

[tropic plank]

I have a bunch of fun playing breathrough and tipping point now whenever they decide to let me play the latter lol. The game is in a much better state than it was, feels like a good large scale arcade shooter now.

[limpid pewter]

I never claimed the entire studio was incompetent. The Dice situation is similar to what happened to Infinity Ward many years ago.

[abstract walrus]

And I'm not saying that you are saying that, it's just a fairly easy assumption chain to go down. I don't know the past employement of the Embark people that are on the server, but there's a good chance that a few of them are from DICE, and left the studio right before or as 2042 was beginning development. It's important to remember that developers are just people, people that may or may not have been collegues with some of the devs that sit and chat with us.

[limpid pewter]

If I build a ship. My ship will have idiosyncrasies that only a ship built by me will have. If I die, yet someone continues sell ships under my name. Are the ships going to be the same?

That's all I'm saying.

[muted grotto]

What BioWare struggled with was bad management on top of frostbite. And they still appear to struggle with it considering still no news about the new dragon age.

[abstract walrus]

Don't worry I get it

[limpid pewter]

😉

[abstract walrus]

I just like to remind our yolk folk to be kind to developers.

[limpid pewter]

I never meant to be unkind. I'm sorry if I left that impression.

[abstract walrus]

Wasn't you, or anyone really, just like to throw it out whenever I see people even hint that devs might've been incompetent

[limpid pewter]

Much love.

[craggy echo]

a bit harsh

[wispy lynx]

It's the honest truth though. I don't think devs are "untouchable," but I think the majority of the issues stemmed from management and creative heads. Being incompetent isn't necessarily "bad" per se, I think that many of them just might not have been as experienced, which doesn't benefit the already existing issues at Dice

The fact that they had a lot of contract work shows that many of the devs were inexperienced or not as knowledgeable on working with frostbite and the other stuff therein. I admit though that incompetent isn't exactly the right word, most of them are just doing their job as well as they can.

[grand ember]

they should of updated the frostbite engine and then released 2042

but ea... said fuck it

[abstract walrus]

The problem is it is updated

The portal maps are the best looking maps and honestly almost look better than anything besides BF1s maps

[wispy lynx]

Yeah true, folks did a great job with the remastered maps

[limpid pewter]

Caspian Border looks worse in 2042 imo.

[lament pilot]

bf4's version is the best

I joined the BF scene with BF1, so idk what it originally looked like. I still think it looks better than most 2042 maps tho

[limpid pewter]

I started playing when BF4 came out. I've gone back and spent time with all of the Battlefield games. BF2 was actually my 2nd fav of all. Seeing people fly around corners like gmen in BF2 was unexpected. Looked like bf4 in that respect.

Battlefield 2042 more like loading 2042 lmao

every loading lasts 2 min+

tho i've the required configuration tf

[fallow sequoia]

nice try, but that's a mod for fallen order

no wait, it's actually real

YOOOOOOOO

[wraith ermine]

battlefield 2042 a bit laggy but very fun, love game like this where recoil is just vertically

[limpid pewter]

Ocarina of Time is the best game of all time.

Okay, maybe not really.

Best game of its generation, except maybe MGS or FF7.

[abstract walrus]

There's a new EE skin for Angel

[muted grotto]

It was a cool easter egg

[abstract walrus]

I hate when people leave in Apex

I had a level 500, he got downed, left right as I killed the two guys that downed him

@wispy lynx
because it apperantly matters

[fickle atlas]

Was running Fortnite at the max possible settings

My pc was dying

From real time lighting

To the rtx and 100% 3D resolution scale

It was a woping 35 frames

With a few dips of 20 frames

[static mountain]

ray tracing rapes everything lol

it looks so nice but it takes so much power

[fickle atlas]

Even with rtx off, Fortnite still taking a toll on my pc

Ig that unreal engine 5.1 really do be unreal

[lament pilot]

my 1660ti cries

[static mountain]

sounds like you have a bad pc...

2080ti baby

[fickle atlas]

Nope

[lament pilot]

;-;

sell that shit

[fickle atlas]

3090, 64 ram, and a rizen 9 58 something

[lament pilot]

first generation cards will not last

[static mountain]

there is your problem 30 series is trash

[fickle atlas]

It's a beast

But I'm also running everything on 4k

I did a test with the resolution at 1080

[static mountain]

oh no shit

[fickle atlas]

It was running nice

[static mountain]

dude who needs 4k?

not me

i need 2k at most

[fickle atlas]

Me

Can't go back to any other resolution

After experiencing 4k

[lament pilot]

800x600

do the long division

[static mountain]

oh god

[static mountain]

enjoy your 10 frames

[fickle atlas]

Wish that was true

But running every game over 120

That's heavy demanding that is

Like 2042 or cyberpunk

[lament pilot]

my eyes can see at 120mhz

[static mountain]

i should finish replaying cyberpunk

i love that games easthetic

[lament pilot]

try with DLSS isnt DLSS good?

[fickle atlas]

Experiencing 60 to 144 is amazing

[fickle atlas]

Tbh, even with out dlss

120 is really good

So I don't mind not having it on

[static mountain]

forget dlss

that just screams

[fickle atlas]

But I think dlss turns down quality a bit

[static mountain]

unoptimized if you have to depend on it

[lament pilot]

why not just have it on haha

[fickle atlas]

Quality thing

[lament pilot]

even on quality mode?

[fickle atlas]

Idk, that's what I heard but I haven't really messed around with it

Might try it on 2042

[static mountain]

i usually just set that stuff to like 80 fps

and i let it go into auto mode

does a good enough job

[mint socket]

just buy more vbucks and it'll run smooth

[limpid pewter]

Remember when cod points were free?

[blissful lake]

they never were

only in a] battle pass

[limpid pewter]

Ahhhhh, no they were. It was in Black Ops 1.

Most people forget COD points debuted in Bo1.

As well as the most camos in any COD up to that point. Back when COD offered an actual value proposition.

[silent anvil]

@wraith ermine and I are running down some games in Apex, anyone want to be our third? All skill levels welcome ❤️

[ocean osprey]

I'd be glad to join for some games if you want

zylo already typing you might want them on your squad if you wanna win xd

[fickle atlas]

I would join

Been a while since I played

[silent anvil]

Sent you a message asking for your apex gamertag

[abstract walrus]

The new attacker in Siege has a Capybara patch

[fickle atlas]

Maybe the country that they represent is a real thing?

That would be awesome

[dark swift]

Curitiba is a State in Brazil

[fickle atlas]

Guess I'm going to Brazil to join the special forces

[fallow sequoia]

@dawn elbow

[dawn elbow]

Cute!

[ocean osprey]

Apex fellas

[fallow sequoia]

hello

[ocean osprey]

how does rookie rank work

[sturdy root]

Rookie is pointless since they get put against bronze to gold players

[ocean osprey]

@silent anvil did I see it right that jellel got promoted to silver from rookie?

[sturdy root]

It's a rank below bronze

thats all

[ocean osprey]

ikr

[silent anvil]

What?

[ocean osprey]

This is what I wanted to ask regarding it

Yesterday

[fallow sequoia]

it's probably depending on how well they did in the match

if they constantly get top 4 while being rookie, idk if they're actually rookies

[silent anvil]

I heard there there is a bug going about where people lose like 4K RP at random

But Jellel was silver yesterday

I managed to get to gold, probably gonna do plat today.

[ocean osprey]

Twas a visual bug then
