Beyond annoying.

Lf2, gold 3 rn, I’m looking for high plat and up. I would rather have people with mics.

proven pulsar
#

anyone else consistently getting into high ping servers

dull falcon
#

like one game ill have normal ping then next games are 100+ ping

#

this look good enough for warming up for apex?

#

its a mix of smooth and reactive/ mouse control stuff

#

lowkey my wingman has been lacking lately

torn oyster
#

2 damage...wasted potential

quaint karma
#

clicking useless

#

ig you could add the manwing scen

#

not humanoid tho

dull falcon
#

pasu and that one with the spheres that bounce

quaint karma
#

fuck humanoid

dull falcon
#

whats the one with the bouncing spheres

quaint karma
#

no one dies in one shot in apex

carmine viper
#

Yiu gotta play the 2 shot and or 3 shot pasu scenarios

quaint karma
#

yeah

dull falcon
#

whats the one with the bouncing sphere idk the name

quaint karma

actually ragequit an arenas game after first round earlier

#

Jan 1st, 2023 im going for 100 win streak

quaint karma
#

on that day?

torn oyster
#

i thought about doing it solo queue to have stream content

#

but i might just 3 stack it

dull falcon
#

ima go through some of the voltaic apex playlist to find thje scens i likes

quaint karma
#

impossible

dull falcon
quaint karma
#

unless you are literally the best player in the game

#

even then

#

probably impossible

#

i routinely get level 10 teammates

#

against 20 bomb duos

#

and shit

#

you gotta hard carry

#

but you cant always do it

#

like earlier

#

we got outangled so hard

#

i literally could not win the game

#

unless i hit every shot i made

#

what is that

#

interesting

dull falcon
#

ima bounce shot intermediate/ a pasu with 3 clicks / (i need one more )

carmine viper
#

I would add a strafe clicking scenario

dull falcon
#

i didnt think of strafe scenarios tbh

#

i think there is one in the resources

carmine viper
#

There are some really good ones i will link you later

dull falcon
#

when u get to it just send me the playlist

#

/what is this one even good for

#

ig not too bad

torn oyster
#

first game go brrrr

dull falcon
#

ur goated

#

i cant find the pasu with multiple clicks

#

@tight vault is this one too hard or no?

wet skiff
dull falcon
#

fr bro they areee im gonna cry but ill do anything to get good

dull falcon
#

no cheating that dont even count fr

#

ironically my peak is diamond and i average plat for the bench pasu stuff ( this might be harder cuz of the size of the sphere for me)

wet skiff
#

damn you are higher rated than I am

dull falcon
#

im bad with static for some reason

wet skiff
#

same here, I'm bad static and dynamic

#

tracking is ok

#

nothing special

#

target switching is embarassing

dull falcon
wet skiff
#

give me my brain cells back, we can't share them there aren't enough

dull falcon
#

my main weakness ima say is speed ( this happens in my gameplay too when i panic i reflexively add more speed but i just miss everything)

quaint karma
#

how does your game look like that

wet skiff
#

the last clip would've been so nasty if I didn't get stuck on the door and lose all my momentum

quaint karma
#

i play on all low and mines higher quality

#

all low and all low in config as well

wet skiff
#

it doesn't really help, actually harder to see sometimes becaues the particles are bigger, but the simpler textures does help me not get distracted as easily by random stuff

dull falcon
wet skiff
#

that path kill was 100% blind fire I legit couldn't tell I was hitting him aside from the dmg numbers lmao

dull falcon
#

and some times they re peak for what ever reason

#

long range wingman is rng anyways

#

like most of the time it like aside from 5-15m mark im not really doing much further than 30+ meters unless im trying to lead my shots and account for distance

wet skiff
#

yea you can actually see that I'm just aiming at the edge of the box after the first few shots, not at the path. He just happen to be standing there lmao

carmine viper
#

Apryze literally said he doesn't aim with the wingman, instead he just points in the general direction and clicks and hopes they walk through.

dull falcon
#

how mfs use the pk actually

wet skiff
#

then don't rush the followup shot, wait till animation stops being annoying

@quaint karmayou ranking yet?

quaint karma
#

nah still have covid

#

also

#

how does this work out to 2.8

#

arenas kd

#

?!

wet skiff
#

it's bugged atm

#

no cap, one of the devs did a "trim all 0's to right of decimal place" instead of rounding it to 2 decimal places

#

208/99 is 2.08, but the 0 is gone so it's just 2.8

#

like biggest rookie mistake ever

#

Just play the pill

#

You took the open 1v1 against a devo

#

Can use the pill as cover

#

And just jiggle shoot him

#

With mozam

dull falcon
lusty vault
#

It’s not the best but you put yourself in a shit situation to even try to aim

#

Put yourself in situations where you have to do as little as possible to actually “aim” and hit your target

quaint karma
#

that lifeline was hitting the aim assist

#

and yeah that was bad aim and bad strafe ngl

#

idk my first instinct there woulda been to back up or something

#

or play around the bin

dull falcon
#

dude i have shit game sens

quaint karma
#

funny thing is if you were on the roller

#

you probably woulda killed him

#

not because aim assist OP but because you actually gotta work

#

to move your crosshair that much

dull falcon
#

i thought i could 3 tap him or something

quaint karma
#

with aim assist stickign as much as it does

#

💀

#

on mnk it just happens if youre not careful

#

gotta deliberate with every move you make

#

be*

lusty vault
#

To be fair the way you played that

#

Even if you aimed well

#

You lose it

#

Don’t think aim is the biggest issue there

dull falcon
#

it really isnt

quaint karma
#

was he low health or something

#

or why did you stay in that spot

dull falcon
#

i just dont abuse positioning like i should , i feel like i dont even know how to do it well at all

lusty vault
#

Just learn to abuse natural cover

#

Takes time

dull falcon
#

and the first clip what should have i done instead

little verge
#

Yeah, playing around the pill was definitely the better solution there. Havoc/Devo are really bad for jiggle peeking because of the charge up, and the Mozam excells on playing cover to avoid damage in between shots.

#

Even if you landed your shots initially I don't think you'd still want to race a devo with no cover in an aim duel.

lusty vault
#

Your aim isn’t the best and you’re self aware of that

#

So either take the duels you’re taking and understand you’re going to lose them and try to improve your aim

quaint karma
#

his aim is really good

#

he just whiffed hard here

last season split 1, furia 3 stack up sent me back to plat by themselves. Straight up, got to diamond, got killed by furia 5 games in a row, got demoted.

Had to take a break after that lol

they usually release them a few days after ranked season ends

i honestly feel like a bully when I have to re grind through those lower ranks

I end up not even being super aggro and just playing chill, cus I know I'm pissing off every bronze/silver/gold player I kill 😦

and idk that bothers me for some reason lul

I just play aggro as fuck with a friend and we lose 90% of the games because we don’t care

#

And we just rank up

#

Idk

wet skiff

Even diamond is p much just know how to play zone

#

Can still be shit

fringe girder
#

yea thats why i like to tell people diamond is like where rank starts

#

you can play it like pubs till there even in diamond you can but its more team dependent

wet skiff
#

bocek was insanely strong before being a cp weapon

#

the only reason I don't pick it up myself is because I want my opponents to stand a chance(and I always run out of ammo at the most critical moment, it needs like 10 more shots lol)

dull falcon
wet skiff
# dull falcon no wtf is that hipfire

few things - crouching when he starts spraying means his first few shots are more accurate and it takes longer to become less accurate - ADSing gives you significantly better hipfire accuracy a short while after leaving ads, and lastly, aim assist

ive been having this issue with my aim lately for like smoothness

wet skiff
alpine trail
#

no it’s ps my friend

#

bottom left

#

console icons don’t show like that on pc

wet skiff
# alpine trail no it’s ps my friend

console players can queue into pc lobbies by grouping up with someone on PC. If you see a controller icon in game, that means they're on console. PC players, whether MNK or controller, show up as a PC icon, console players(xbox or ps) as a controller icon

alpine trail
#

Why are u telling me this 😭

#

I just pointed out the playstation icon in da bottom left

wet skiff
#

so I thought maybe you weren't sure of how consoles are able to enter pc lobbies and keep their 0.6 aim assist

alpine trail
#

My point was .6 on pc (Not 60fps + 16ms input delay)

wet skiff
#

oh

dull falcon
#

any of yall doing kovaaks rn

#

can i see someone do thin smooth strafes

wet skiff
#

no I've been "slacking" off by working on this stupid ass fucking document

dull falcon
#

tell apex that the firing range needs infinite ammo

wet skiff
#

if anyone wants to view it or add anything, let me know. It's about visual clutter in Apex, with some suggestions. This will be seen by devs, so if you have any clips or additional input, please lemme know. The dev has said they've been looking at making some changes w/ regards to visibility and this document would actually be welcomed and taken into serious consideration.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yvY73qQfhv9q4DP_SgerMtJ5CKUwOAicG9sFIhELLAw/edit?usp=sharing

wet skiff
alpine trail
#

A lot of the visual clutter is not fixable due to their jank source engine derivation p sure

#

same with the “bad audio”

wet skiff
#

bad audio yes, visual clutter, no. A lot of the suggestions I'm going for are absolutely doable in source

#

I'm trying hard to steer clear of solutions that are incompatible with source, though I don't have enough experience to guarantee that.

dull falcon
#

the muzzle falsh point is actually fair

#

arenas was so shit bc of it when everyone is using hammerpoint mozam

alpine trail
#

i miss being able to disable first person muzzle flash

#

u used to b able to do it with auto exec

#

til like s4

#

or s3

wet skiff
alpine trail
#

yeah that’s why i don’t bother complaining about that stuff ngl

#

just feels like talking into nothingness

wet skiff
#

So I'm suggesting changes in a way that can keep the muzzle flash effect, but in a way that pevents it from encroaching towards the crosshair/middle of screen

#

which is really what's important, in the end. As annoying as the muzzle flash is, if we can get them to keep our crosshairs clear, that's already a thousand times better. I also suggest reducing the brightness so in 3pp fights the muzzle flash isn't as severe in cqc, both things which are much more likely to be seen as acceptable other than "just disable it"

alpine trail
#

Agree w that, sadly it’s prob on their absolute bottom priorities rn

wet skiff
#

maybe. But I want to try anyway. So feel free to take a look at the document and anything you can think of, lemme know. Since I've played with the dev a few times, it's more likely that a serious attempt at something like this will gain traction, much more so than randoms just tweeting clips at devs on twitter

when an enemy is ad strafing at a medium-longish range, should i be trying to track the strafe? or shoot in the center of where they are strafing?

fringe girder
#

bro queuing in a mode made for wallers

wet skiff
#

prolly situational dependent, if they're on like a sniper or marksman you should be able to track/hit them easily, if they're on a wingman and don't have a bias it's likely better to just hold your mouse center

lethal wraith
#

or hold your crosshair next to them and wait for them to walk into it when they switch strafes

#

downside being if they never walk into it

wet skiff
lethal wraith
#

that's only really on click weapons at long distances

#

longbow, for example, it's nearly impossible to hit a strafing target

wet skiff
#

when I do long range, I always give myself a bias so people can't do that 🙂

#

have to actually aim

lethal wraith
#

I remember seeing Mande or Sweet do this, but he missed every shot because the enemy didn't move to the left lmao

little verge
#

Yeah, bot strafes are so much more frustrating to deal with because most average or above average players tend to have a pattern or bias.

#

Shitters just stop or keep strafing into the wall when you expect them to change up.

wet skiff
#

it does not work vs controller players

little verge
#

It works against bad roller players still, holding a long strafe or just stopping means they'll just mash the stick trying to predict you or overcorrect.

#

But I mean there's little to really do against a roller besides playing cover and using shotties.

wet skiff
#

i wouldn't stop vs a controller, but long strafing does work, especially as octane

lethal wraith
#

outrun their turn speed pepeLaff

wet skiff
#

my honest favorite is wallbouncing over them, seeing them turn slowly, then just strafing around them

#

his wattson does that a lot on stream as well

just circle strafes around a cotnroller player

Yeah, Apex has some awful variance in audio levels.

fair trellis

i should try equalizer apo just lazy

wet skiff
# fair trellis i should try equalizer apo just lazy

I tried it, put some good effort into it, but it doesn't help. The issue with audio isn't that footsteps aren't loud enough, it's that if the audio is too busy, the footstep(and other audio) cues don't play at all

#

even if you manage to set your equalizer perfectly so that all other sounds besides footsteps are at like -10db and footsteps are +30db, you still won't hear them in those situations

#

it's an engine limitation. Likely, though, respawn will utilize a more modern engine going forward(with future games) instead of their customized version of source. Would be surprised to see them keep using it with all the unfixable issues it has in Apex

a closer LOS would help with that. i for one also use volt at longer ranges but going to squeeze in that gap is ideal since its an smg at the end of the day.

I can check out some vods sometime and give an opinion. If you are a absolute beamer but still loosing it's probably due to positioning or holding still while shooting

honest heron
#

Usually just hp diff

oak veldt

it probably could be positioning, i dont really play ranked and stuff i just play with my friends for fun

Are you losing the 1v1 or being knocked by someone else

Never fight in the open

#

You need to play a lot to get better at this

#

With more map knowledge you will intuitively understand things like what angles you are exposed to, where remaining teams are/could be, where they are going

oak veldt
#

It also could just be the new map too but yeah even with like 300 hours I genuinely don't know where teams could be, I just know a general idea of rotations, to wait before I jump in on a fight, etc

honest heron
#

its going to take a lot of time to adapt to a new map

#

have you looked at this

#

it goes over a lot of important things that the game does not tell you

wet skiff
#

situational awareness is really tough in apex in general, there's so much screen clutter and the sound is so bad that it's really hard to keep track of people, even in clean 3v3s

#

all sorts of abilities and movetech that can dramatically displace someone as well, like horizon Q(especially since it's silent)

how do u guys get ur game to run that smooth

#

my game feels like im playing at 60 fps when i get like 180 - 220ish fps

#

sometimes drops to 160 but

stray valley
#

tbf I just built a new rig

oak veldt
#

200fps in this game isnt as smooth as 200 in other games its real weird

honest heron
#

because it has terrible frame pacing and 1% lows

#

You can do some things to make it slightly better but it's still terrible compared to other games

quaint karma
#

somehow i dont believe this

#

unless this game is heavily cpu limited and that man has a 13600k

#

and my 5900x just isnt good enough 💀

wet skiff
#

people overestimate their performance all the time, the amount of people I see claim they get a steady 240 fps on dogshit hardware is unreal

#

like you can maybe occasionally get 240, but you're not getting a consistent, smooth 240 with no dips.

dull falcon
visual bluff
#

if ur playing apex on lowest settings trying to get very high FPS(200+) im pretty sure it is heavily CPU limited
i get 270 consistently everywhere besides the drop ship at the start but i have a 5950x and a 3080

#

but i remember one point when i was trouble shooting something i had the power limit way down on the 3080 and my FPS didnt drop at all

wet skiff
#

i got a 10900k oc to 4.8ghz and drop below 240 constantly on new map

#

with an OC 3090. Neither really up there on usage

visual bluff
#

is ur ram fast cuz that can matter when ur trying to get really high fps i dont know how much it effects those intel cpus but i know it matters a lot on ryzen

#

on the new map there is one or two spots where my frames will drop pretty hard but i think thats a map bug or something because its specific spots if i look in specific directions

wet skiff
#

3600 mhz with good latency

hardy creek
#

do u guys do most strafing koovak for apex?

oak veldt
wet skiff
#

no texture streaming, or the real no textures setting?

oak veldt
#

The setting

visual bluff
# wet skiff 3600 mhz with good latency

same basically
3666 with cl 14
is ur ram usage high because if so windows will compress your ram meaning that to access the information the cpu has to do more work
in task manager you can see this by going to more details > performance > memory > in use (compressed)
then seeing the number in the parentheses thats the amount of ram in compression if its a lot it can slow down performance

oak veldt
#

I play on all low and my frames are still bad

visual bluff
oak veldt
#

Yeah but I need frames so I must sacrifice for the greater good

wet skiff
#

nope, only 10 gb out of 32 in use, 10mb compressed

#

sec i'll show you guys the real low textures mode

oak veldt
#

This game just demands too much

#

It's like warzone

oak veldt
#

No not like that

visual bluff
# oak veldt 3600 2060

maybe its just the 3600 limiting ur performance then idk
at least as far as i can tell apex on lowest going for high frame rate is mostly CPU limited

dull falcon
#

making a little progress on smoothness

visual bluff
wet skiff
#

yea doing that doesn't actually help, visual clutter actually gets worse

#

but it is much easier on the eyes and helps focus on target. I don't play like that, though

oak veldt
#

i need a whole new pc man

#

cuz if i upgrade my cpu

#

i need a new gpu

visual bluff
oak veldt
#

how much compressed memory is bad

visual bluff
#

u dont always need to upgrade them both at the same time tho
you can upgrade ur cpu and not upgrade ur gpu even if ur cpu is much faster then ur gpu can handle
Like i used my old 1070 with a 5950x for a few months while i waited for my 3080 to come

oak veldt
#

lets say i get a 5800x3d

#

everything will be gpu bound then

visual bluff
oak veldt
#

discord uses 800+ mb for some reason

#

steam is 250

#

tidal is 200

#

everything else is system apps

visual bluff
# oak veldt everything will be gpu bound then

yea it will be but your performance will still be better most likely
theres always a bottle neck in the system and it depends on what you play right like
if u only play apex on lowest settings and just want better framerate it might be something to consider
i would do more research into how CPU bound apex is at lowest settings tho to see if the performance improvement is worth it

#

discord is kinda a memory hog for what it is
if u dont have chrome open most likely not much extra u can close

oak veldt
#

i dont only play apex, i play other shooters like val, ow and cod

#

yeah not much else i can close

wet skiff
#

so upgrading your CPU first and getting a GPU later is perfectly ok in the context of compettiive fps games which you'll almost always run on lowest settings

visual bluff
#

^

oak veldt
#

well yeah thats true, best cpu i can get without changing my motherboard is a 3800x3d tho

yeah just saying the cpu limit is above that then

cuz if it was purely cpu limited id be getting the same fps on higher res

#

3080 just cant keep up with apex 1440p ig

visual bluff
#

some games res can effect cpu limited fps a lot more then u would think it should

#

no idea if apex is one of those games

#

i tried forcing my apex to 1440p to see if it made a difference even if my monitor would downscale it but it seems apex wont allow this

quaint karma
#

you can use dsr through nvidia control panel to play apex in 1440p

#

downscaled to 1080p

wet skiff

That never worked well for me, always had input lag

If my monitor didn't get jacked I'd be in 1440p right now. Still mad about that

every time i play this game im deeply reminded hos dogshit audio rly is

wet skiff
#

yea. It's bad.

#

it feels even worse this season

#

I think this map has even more ambient sounds than previous maps

lethal wraith
#

for me it's usually path or horizon

#

horizon literally 0 audio dropping from the lift and landing

#

path 0 audio after grapple attaches

wet skiff
#

yea that q needs an audio thing. path is like 50/50, either you can hear him flawlessly at all times during the grapple or there's nothing whatsoever and he just teleports behind you and says "nothing personnel kid"

#

but it's all champs, those are just more common with their tacticals

#

Like I've had a bangalore, the most absurdly distinctive footstep audio in the game, literally sprint up behind me and shoot me from 2 inches behind me

#

you can't miss her footsteps, if the audio is actually playing, you will hear it

coral cave
#

my fps are shit on apex

#

can barely stay over 100

wet skiff
# coral cave how do you get textures like that?

not 100% sure, that happened after a driver crash for me. I'm sure there's a way to force it, it happened while I was messing with my nvidia settings, but I haven't put in effort to figure which setting forced that.

#

it won't improve your FPS though unless you are specifically throttled by VRAM, which is virtually never the bottleneck for FPS

#

nearly all cards/setups will have the exact same FPS on high quality textures as low quality textures, it's really rare you'll have an improvement by lowering textures

coral cave
#

i remember on dayz there was a way to do something similar using nvidia inspector

#

i'll try and see

wet skiff
#

yea that's what I was using to tweak my settings, so likely i stumbled upon whatever that causes that by accident

coral cave
#

ye on dayz thats kinda broken

#

lets you see trough trees and some textures

wet skiff
#

yea that makes sense, would be careful then might get you banned. Though it would be game dependent if it gave you an actual advantage, I think for Apex everything is modeled so you can't see through things

coral cave
#

im not really into tech n shit so i dont really know

wet skiff
#

I don't know. There may be some anti-cheats that can detect it, since it's just a driver setting. I kind of remember a thing about path of exile for this, I'm pretty sure they banned a few players for doing this, even though it's kind of ridiculous since that's not even a pvp game

coral cave
#

it does indeed work but you're right it does nothing performance wise

wet skiff
#

Yea, you'd have to have a really scuffed setup for this to give you any improvement. I think the only instance I can think of is if you're on an integrated GPU and have grossly inadequate ram to support it

#

but that sort of setup basically doesn't exist in modern day PCs or even laptops. Doing this would basically only be because you like the clay look(i love it personally) or because you're trying to get an advantage in games where you can see through objects you normally couldn't, which imo would be cheating

coral cave
wet skiff
#

not worth risking an account over, though, if it's detectable. Would be such a dumb reason to get banned in something ike Apex, especially since it doesn't even give you an advantage

coral cave
#

i dont get why nowdays dont just allow you to do whatever you want with the graphics

wet skiff
#

a few reasons. One is for example getting a competitive advantage over other players, especially with crossplay games because consoles can't change settings(reasons for that as well, but I'll skip for now). Other one is that because streaming is so huge, it can make your game look like complete shit when there was a lot of time and effort put into making the game look a certain way, which can hurt marketability of your game towards more casual players, who tend to care about those kind of things more than gameplay a lot of time.

#

More competitive players tend to really chase performance which can dramatically impact visuals to the point where nearly every streamer will play with settings shit enough to give the impression to casuals that's how the game looks, especially when the games primary money making model is selling cosmetics, which are ruined/useless on those low ass settings

coral cave
#

shouldnt*

wet skiff
#

players will feel significantly less inclined to buy skins if their settings are so low they can't see them, and they have the impression that's the standard and their opponents/friends can't really see the skin either. So from a business perspective it makes a ton of sense that your lowest settings should still showcase the cosmetics effectively

coral cave
#

well can you give me any tip or vid or anything like that to improve my fps in apex?

wet skiff
#

doubtful, I don't know much about low spec optimization at all. I got 10900k and 3090, so I'm on the complete other end

coral cave
#

😭

#

i guess i'll have to upgrade my pc instead of hoping 1 day to find a magical way to boost my performance

wet skiff
#

yea there's really only so much you can do with a low spec pc

spectate any squad that kills you after you die

flint grotto
#

on the few occasions that i touch roller its hilarious how consistent it is

quaint karma
#

this is mostly an NA thing tho

flint grotto
#

i am na

#

i dont feel like keeping track

quaint karma
#

90% of high mmr lobbies in NA are roller

#

i assume if youre really bad youll play with more mnk players

#

its just weird because ill go into a match and the champ squad are some level 200s then i die to a multi masters

quaint karma
#

#

quaint karma
#

you get pull out animation on both guns anyways

#

you just have to pull them out after every death

gentle mantle
#

I mean the pull back animation

#

Idk what it's called

#

i 1v1 to practice my aim , i can kind of see what i do wrong after learning how to aim but i dont know the solution

#

recording VODs and having someone review it helps a lot too

#

Why not just run the voltaic playlists? They are supposed to cover fundamentals and help improve aim in general.

#

Youll pick stuff up like smoothing, not over aiming etc etc playing those

#

I still genuinely do not think 1v1s are going to help you

#

But everyone is different

weak parrot
#

i think it helps a lot to run the strafe fundamentals for apex anyway

#

since most the time you'll want to be moving/shooting

lusty elk
#

I wanted to say that too, especially since Apex is rarely down to 1v1s

mortal hatch
#

i came from a smallish apex community and aside from kvks, they recommend 1v1s — and i can be wrong on that

but i think 1v1s help improve your movement, awareness, and help build confidence too as a low-mid elo player

#

high elo — im not rlly sure how useful it is cuz like what Genosis said, Apex is rarely down to 1v1s
