apex

[solar bison]

mbm does that

[plush burrow]

Its not surprising, people like to flex their rank with low hours and then naturally the people high hours and a low rank in comparison with same hours feel as if they wasted their time

[waxen berry]

just improve at your own pace

[sinful mantle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43pl7H8TqO4 i only started playing apex at season 7 but holy shit I wish I could have started since day 1

[waxen berry]

like i dont get the need to rush things. no ones slapping you on the wrist if u dont. Ultimately i feel like rushing leads to burn out fast

@plush burrow i saw u typing. Get to diamond complete faster >:)

[plush burrow]

Legit want to but need to study a shit ton

Took a gap year to work, coming back is to study is rough

[fresh lake]

Hello legends of apex

[deep linden]

ah the duality of decent Apex players

I'm saying decent because I ain't counting reddit caustics whose popoffs are random snipes

[hallow viper]

Discord roles

Don’t matter

[bright elm]

i tense too kek

not too much tho

[bright elm]

demo, big fan

[solar bison]

Yeah that's how it should be

[loud heart]

TRUE

[fresh lake]

kristian, bigger fan

[solar bison]

LMAOOO

[sinful mantle]

MELEE AIM LOCK IS DOGSHIT

sorry for the low bitrate, forgot to change settings

[elfin thistle]

sheeesh I love seeing pixels

[bright elm]

LOL

[burnt stone]

Did you see those scores last night

Tyty time to get static done i suppose

I don't think diamond ts will be that hard

[mellow kestrel]

how do ppl play with the hitmarker crosshair

i cant see shit with it

i feel like its nice for hipfire and ironsight wingman

[elfin thistle]

what's a hitmarker crosshair

[mellow kestrel]

that thing

[zealous ravine]

that's not a crosshair?

wat

quite literally a hitmarker lol

[mellow kestrel]

yeah

no shit

but you can disable it

most ppl do

[alpine trail]

u mean disable hitmarkers

[mellow kestrel]

i feel like it looks nicer in clips

yeah

but idk

visual clutter 🥴

[alpine trail]

but why hitmarker crosshair

[alpine trail]

this message was just confusing

[mellow kestrel]

idk

whatever u wanna call it

[alpine trail]

I turn off hitmarkers

Btw boys officially got jade complete in tracking only

[burnt stone]

Poggersss

[mellow kestrel]

congrats

you got air too?

[burnt stone]

[mellow kestrel]

sheeesh

im about to get master in all tracking scens before even getting jade air

fuck air honestly

[burnt stone]

I gotta catch up

Might try out jade scenarios

But i also wanna get plat in my click timing

[alpine trail]

Air was rough

I didnt even know i got jade when I did

Forgot what the required score was

[burnt stone]

850

[alpine trail]

Ye I got 849 last night, didn't even bat an eye

[burnt stone]

Was funny though

[alpine trail]

Then I was like fuggit keep going

Lmao

"Wait thats jade ? No youre fucking with me no it isn't"

[burnt stone]

Man now i wish i was home to try it

I'm going to be tired as shit tbh i hate doing cashier

[alpine trail]

@mellow kestrel did you get any masters scores yet?

[mellow kestrel]

yeah

@alpine trail

im hardstuck air

[alpine trail]

daaaamn son

[mellow kestrel]

i keep throwing

[burnt stone]

Sheeeesh

[alpine trail]

last bot throws ?

[mellow kestrel]

i either throw last bot, or i throw the uhh

4th i think?

idk

[alpine trail]

ye

4th is close fast strafes

[mellow kestrel]

the one after the two CQC bots

ah nah

the one after that then

[alpine trail]

oh the one that does really long ones?

[mellow kestrel]

yep

[alpine trail]

wth

really?

[mellow kestrel]

because of the close range bots

yes

they ruin my aim for some reason

[alpine trail]

hmmm

[mellow kestrel]

so i cant beam it

[alpine trail]

ye you gotta farm the fuck out of that one

i went into last bot with about 53-54% acc

on my jade run

[mellow kestrel]

yeah

[bright elm]

not yet

ill check them when i get home, im and school lol

@burnt stone

[mellow kestrel]

i can kinda cheat it by just pausing and resetting my aim after the close range bots

[alpine trail]

its not cheating, you're allowed a 30 second pause on the gauntlet scenarios

[alpine trail]

but only PUSSYS pause mid run

kappa

[bright elm]

i pause on the last bot

[alpine trail]

drr

see

[bright elm]

my hand tends to get tired out

[alpine trail]

only pussies pause

[bright elm]

i am what i eat

[alpine trail]

im sorry kristiann

lmao

[bright elm]

😩

[alpine trail]

too toxic

[bright elm]

imma have to report u to sini now

[alpine trail]

bro sini and i go way back smh my head

if anything im finna report you to him

[burnt stone]

I got 4 diamond scores last night kristian

Diamond complete tracking now

[bright elm]

nah bro, i listened along with him and said that his music is cool

[mellow kestrel]

ik ik, its more of a personal thing

after the close fast strafe bots i just like

lose my smoothness temporarily

annoying

[burnt stone]

Yeah

That's natural

[mellow kestrel]

so i'll always do max like 50-55% on that long strafing bot

[burnt stone]

I just remind myself to keep moving in 1 direction

[alpine trail]

scrub can i give you a stupid bit of advice that might help

[burnt stone]

And don't predict

[mellow kestrel]

yes

i dont predict

[alpine trail]

blink more

[mellow kestrel]

😄

[burnt stone]

Right after the fast bot

[bright elm]

oh fr? good shit

[burnt stone]

And it helps a lot for me

[alpine trail]

yee

[bright elm]

one rank closer to jade

[burnt stone]

Yessir

[alpine trail]

kristiann i saw this guy get diamond pgti

and i got my ass out of bed

and did it too

and then got jade pgti

lmaooooo

[bright elm]

[alpine trail]

i was like no fuckin way this mans just got diamond PGTI

[burnt stone]

Idk if i wanna do click timing or just run straight to jade

[alpine trail]

try advanced benchmarks for a bit

then work on other things

[mellow kestrel]

i got jade pgti before diamond ngl

diamond pgti hard af

[alpine trail]

that was my smoothbot scrub

lmao

[bright elm]

diamond pgti so easy

sounds like skill issue

(joke)

[mellow kestrel]

its ez for me now, but ik it wasnt when i got jade

[burnt stone]

It wasn't as bad as i thought it was

I just needed to get the technique down consistently

[alpine trail]

its so aids

i hate it still

[mellow kestrel]

pgti is a weird scen

[burnt stone]

Then work on speed while maintaining technique and i fucked it up

[mellow kestrel]

it feels really technical

[alpine trail]

yeah exactly

[burnt stone]

All it is is just arcing your mouse

But

When it falls back down

It doesn't seem to move as far horizontally then i ever think it would

[alpine trail]

the variation between arcs is what get me

[burnt stone]

Once i realized that i got diamond next couple matches

[alpine trail]

itll go far as fuck over my head sometimes then out of nowhere its like straight up and down

[burnt stone]

I like to stay a little behind at first

To see what kind of arc it is

Then microcorrect to it and finish tracking

Which scenarios are free jades btw tak

I know you said smoothbot

[alpine trail]

smoothbot, AA4 probably

and PGTI potentially

with how you did on PGTI easy

[mellow kestrel]

smoothbot for sure

[alpine trail]

smoothbot TS

also free

[mellow kestrel]

kinda depends on what skills ur good at

yes

was about to say

[alpine trail]

smoothbot TS is easier jade than diamond

[burnt stone]

Air angelic was first and easier

[mellow kestrel]

if you're tracking main smoothbot TS is free af

[mellow kestrel]

fact

took me some proper sweating to get diamond

meanwhile almost had jade in like 2 tries

[burnt stone]

I can def get jade on fuglaa

Smoothbot was a bitch so I'm glad to hear it's easy

[wintry cypress]

so is kints actually

[burnt stone]

And pgti prob wont be bad

[mellow kestrel]

not for me

cus im actually shit at TS and static

[wintry cypress]

it wasnt easy

but easier than diamond for sure

[mellow kestrel]

yeah i agree

[wintry cypress]

and yeah smoothbot ts is some of the easiest shit ever

[mellow kestrel]

yep, its more of a tracking scen than a TS scen

honestly

[wintry cypress]

yeah

[alpine trail]

ur not dog

[wintry cypress]

just bunch all the bots together and ur good

i might be able to get master on it in a couple of days

[mellow kestrel]

you dont even need to switch targets quickly, just focus on smoothness after your switches and actually tracking properly

[wintry cypress]

when i start benchmarking again

[wintry cypress]

yeha

[somber lintel]

Is anyone else getting ping spikes?

I sit at >30 ping, every minute or so i get to 90-130 and straight back down

Makes my character stutter, enemies freeze etc. Annoying

[burnt stone]

I had a ping spike of 400 for like a whole minute while everyone else was fine

[plush burrow]

I'm voltaic aimers

Ddosing

[static rose]

This happened to me yesterday i thought it was just me

[burnt stone]

It was yesterday when it happened as well

[wintry cypress]

nothing has happened to me so far

just little lags here and there

[burnt stone]

Was a 1 game thing after playing all day

[wintry cypress]

for me it was just in the firing range

yesterday

[plush burrow]

Do the games still feel like ass though?

[static rose]

Not really

[wintry cypress]

well arenas is playable forr sure

[plush burrow]

Since I got the monitor every game feels better by miles but apex feels the same

Playable don't get me wrong but not smooth if you get me

[wintry cypress]

lmao

[alpine trail]

not smooth as in framerates?

or like ping-lag issues

[wintry cypress]

idk i havent noticed a difference in connection stability in arenas

i have 165hz monitor and it definitely feels smoother in apex than 60

[alpine trail]

limitz what GPU/CPU btw

and resolution

[plush burrow]

1050ti, i72600, 720p

Over 100fps

[alpine trail]

are you sure you changed monitor settings

in windows

and nvidia

to be 240hz

[plush burrow]

But other games with similar frames feel like better

[alpine trail]

did you set launch option too?

-refresh 240

[plush burrow]

Oh yeah it's all done, Nvidia doesn't actually do it properly though, have to do it through monitor display adapters

[alpine trail]

ye

[mellow kestrel]

getting apex to run as smooth as it actually should requires a lot

tbh

i had to format

[wintry cypress]

for me it worked fine through nvidia

[mellow kestrel]

do a fuckton of tweaks

stop playing multi-monitor

etc

and it still sometimes feels like shit

[wintry cypress]

yeah i have an autoexec and some tweaked videoconfig things as well

[plush burrow]

Setting -240 only caps it though doesn't it

[mellow kestrel]

that too

and disabling fullscreen optimizations etc

[plush burrow]

I have it set but yeah

[alpine trail]

hm

yah my initial thought was your res was too high for 240

and hardware too weak

try 144hz

might be easier on your hardware

[static rose]

Also in res settings try switching to aspect ratio, or to fullscreen

[alpine trail]

1050ti is a pretty weak card to be pushing 240 hz

even @ 720 i think

[wintry cypress]

true

[static rose]

For nvidia control panel

[plush burrow]

I mean I always check on the monitor if it's actually 240 and it is, when it's not it says

[wintry cypress]

my 1060 can get 140 fps at times tho

[static rose]

Yeah i only get like 80 fps on my 1050ti at stretched res

[plush burrow]

No need to cap hz though, no disadvantage?

[wintry cypress]

sheesh

16:10 on my 1060 i get like 110+ everywhere except that waterfall on olympus and epicenter

[plush burrow]

But at the end of the day should still feel that 60 to 144 range which is fps i can push at times

But only don't feel it on apex

[wintry cypress]

imagine if u had vsync on

[plush burrow]

Any other game even 100fps you feel the difference from from 60hz

[wintry cypress]

hmm weird

first time i hopped into firing range i felt it right away

[plush burrow]

Disabled in Nvidia unless I should set it as normal

[static rose]

Also rey switching between gpu and display scaling

[wintry cypress]

idk i change it ingame

[plush burrow]

Maybe I'll try the origin version

[plush burrow]

Yeah done all the optimizations I could find

[static rose]

Thats odd

[wintry cypress]

yeah

[static rose]

I can def tell the diff bw 60hz and 72hz

[zealous ravine]

lol i just gave up on trying to get it run properly

and play with stutters

it's just not gonna happen

[plush burrow]

Same on every game besides apex

[wintry cypress]

maybe you have framerate capped somewhere in an autoexec or smth?

[plush burrow]

I ran an oc few months ago for 2 weeks

[static rose]

Did u try this yet?

[plush burrow]

I'll have to double check that, but I doubt I would of done that to 60

[plush burrow]

Yes

[static rose]

This fixed stuttering and lag for me

[plush burrow]

I thought it to do with the servers

Maybe not then

[alpine trail]

you changed it here too limitz?

[plush burrow]

Changed the refresh rate in 3 places/ double checked

[alpine trail]

okidoke

that's weird then

[elfin thistle]

@static rose help vaaks men

[alpine trail]

have you tried just going in firing range and changing it from 60 to 240

and seeing how different it feels?

[plush burrow]

Yes, I know the refresh rate is fine since it says on the monitor when it's at anything lower

[plush burrow]

Weirdly capping lower is smoother (only on apex)

But when I tried apex a while back on my brother's 165hz, shit was butter

Similar fps to mine

Yo tak xm1r coming tomorrow, going to be interesting

[static rose]

Cant, gotta do some hw

[plush burrow]

Saw reviews and people highly rate it

[elfin thistle]

that's gay

[alpine trail]

yooo

exciting limitz

its a top tier mouse for sure

really loving it

[elfin thistle]

why is 103 OW so different from 110 apex

I've been playing benches on only 110 apex

and all my scens

I feel scammed

[alpine trail]

lmao

bro we literally told you to play 103 ow

[wintry cypress]

isnt 103ow a lower fov?

[alpine trail]

i thought you were playing 110 OW

it is lower than 110 apex ye

[wintry cypress]

whats it comparable to

90 source?

[alpine trail]

i believe so yeah

[wintry cypress]

ah

[elfin thistle]

what's 103 OW to apex

WHAT

its 90 source?

BRUH

[alpine trail]

i believe it is yes

[wintry cypress]

i guess so

[elfin thistle]

fucking kill me

[wintry cypress]

i mean ive been playing 90fov source forever

[alpine trail]

its ok llomo

[static rose]

Bruh

[alpine trail]

training weights off

time to beam

[elfin thistle]

are you fucking serious

this is eligible for r/selffuck

[wintry cypress]

maybe

[elfin thistle]

I've been playing on only 110 apex or 110 source

kms

[alpine trail]

its ok ll0m0

[wintry cypress]

i mean it says in the rules you should play on 103ow or smth right?

[alpine trail]

its better than ghost playing 60 hz on his 240 hz monitor for like a year

[elfin thistle]

so my 90 source static is how it should be

[alpine trail]

[elfin thistle]

and its actually valid

pog

[wintry cypress]

yea

[bright elm]

yes everyone shills the fuck out of the xm1

including me

[plush burrow]

Can't wait, I think it should be the perfect mouse fingers crossed

Palm claw here

[bright elm]

for me at least it's almost perfecvt

[wintry cypress]

tbf it looks like a nice ass mouse

[bright elm]

my only complaint

is

it's too long

for my hand

[elfin thistle]

how is it compared to gpro wireless

[bright elm]

better

[plush burrow]

Only 50!!!! Like bro what

[elfin thistle]

better in what way

[plush burrow]

50gbp

[bright elm]

every way except wireless

[static rose]

No way lmfao

[elfin thistle]

o

[wintry cypress]

and then theres me with a gpx

[bright elm]

better coating, shape, scroll wheel, side buttons, clicks

better stock feet

[wintry cypress]

though i have big hands apparently

[elfin thistle]

I've been playing fucking thin smoothness scens on 110 apex kms

[plush burrow]

Viper ultimate cost like 100 but tbf it was a good mouse/is

[bright elm]

if they made an xm1 wireless or mini

holy shit

[wintry cypress]

yeah thats ez

[plush burrow]

First razer product with out an issue

[elfin thistle]

oh yeah I managed to break the coating on the gpro wireless kekw

[wintry cypress]

how

[bright elm]

alr guys

[static rose]

Orochi kinda good

[bright elm]

should i play apex or the vaaks first

[elfin thistle]

I gripped it too hard

[plush burrow]

GHOST WHAT

[wintry cypress]

prob vaaks

makes ur aim insane

[bright elm]

i just got home

so

[elfin thistle]

ghost was doing that just to flex on u @plush burrow

[plush burrow]

Nah we warm up on apex to train vaaks

[wintry cypress]

5head?

[bright elm]

unless an xm1r mini comes out, i still think a hati s would be a better fit for me

[plush burrow]

Now he on another level

[bright elm]

the hati s is so fucking hard to get

idk why

china

[wintry cypress]

it is?

[alpine trail]

he was setting up his 2nd monitor and i told him to check these settings and he realized he'd been on 60 the whole time

[bright elm]

i can't find any in stock

and when they are

they're like $200\

canadian

or $150

[alpine trail]

hati s kristiann?

[bright elm]

the same as a gpx or g pro wireless

[elfin thistle]

I can't go back to wired mice anymore

[wintry cypress]

its not on amazon or smth

[bright elm]

it is

for $200

LOL

[wintry cypress]

[plush burrow]

Wut

[wintry cypress]

took me like 2-3 weeks

[alpine trail]

is that not the mouse? hati S HTS ?

[bright elm]

unavailable for me

[somber lintel]

yes

[alpine trail]

kristiann

[somber lintel]

it is

[alpine trail]

i can buy it for you and ship it out

if you want

[elfin thistle]

they emailed me back after 2 weeks of me ordering it telling me they're gonna ship it out in a few days

[bright elm]

i don't have money rn

[alpine trail]

rip

[bright elm]

so i can't even pay you back

if u were to do it

lool

im not gonna buy another mouse soon anyways

[elfin thistle]

do it for free tak

[bright elm]

the next time ill get a mouse is probably after chrismtas

[alpine trail]

ye

[bright elm]

or after my first sem

[elfin thistle]

do it for the homies tak

[plush burrow]

This won't work out

[alpine trail]

if its still unavailable then and you need someone in US to buy it and ship i can do it kristiann

[bright elm]

it will

[elfin thistle]

sem of uni or highschool

[bright elm]

loving the xm1r

[alpine trail]

instead of spending 200usd lmao

[bright elm]

high school

senior year

grade 12

[alpine trail]

what mouse are you using now limitz?

[elfin thistle]

o

[plush burrow]

You have an xm1r and gpro? That's only the start

[bright elm]

i have

[elfin thistle]

imagine being in senior year

[plush burrow]

Razer viper ultimate

I actually like it alot tbf

[bright elm]

razer viper og, razer viper 8khz, razer viper mini, model o, g305, gpx, xm1r

i sold my razer viper og, model o, and g305

[plush burrow]

Do you get much back for used mice?

I actually bought my viper ultimate second hand for £80, was a good price at the time

[bright elm]

i bought my viper og for like

80 cad

[plush burrow]

Came with the dock thing as well

[bright elm]

back when it got released

in 2019

i sold it for like $60

[plush burrow]

I've never had to go out my way to charge my mouse, actually pog

[bright elm]

to my friend

[elfin thistle]

I get new mice when my mouse dies

[plush burrow]

Wtf 2 years use and only lost 20

You got more out of it than 20, that's a profit in my eyes

[plush burrow]

So you kill your mice when you see one you like?

[bright elm]

yep

[plush burrow]

Thats murder, very unnecessary

[bright elm]

i sold it back in like december

the only thing I did was buy tiger arcs for the razer viper

but that's it

my friend's mouse was dogshit so i just told him to buy my viper off me

[plush burrow]

I think I'll keep my viper ultimate, don't want to sell it even if xm1r is perfect

[elfin thistle]

yes

I advocate mouse violence

rrat

[plush burrow]

Could turn it into a macro mouse or something, or my side bitch

I meant side mouse

[elfin thistle]

oh

so like

[bright elm]

i keep my mouses

[elfin thistle]

previously

[bright elm]

unless i don't like it

[elfin thistle]

my first few mice

they are so garbage I couldn't flick with them

the sensor wouldn't pick it up

so I swapped to eventually a gpro wired for $30 usd

and used that until the wire broke in two spots

then I bought my current mouse

been using it since june

[plush burrow]

Glorious mice had that issue when you move it too fast I think

[elfin thistle]

its not glorious stuff

its cheap ass $5 mice

[twilit flicker]

what mouse do u have rn

[elfin thistle]

gpro wireless

[plush burrow]

I've had my viper ultimate for somewhere in between 1-2 years

[alpine trail]

limitz i think you will love the xm1r

[plush burrow]

Its a good mouse but expensive

[alpine trail]

only thing i might say is its worthwhile to replace mouse feet with some 3rd party ones

[elfin thistle]

I had my wired for a year and my wireless for a few months now

[elfin thistle]

around the same as a razer viper ulti wireless tho

[plush burrow]

Absolutely necessary?

[static rose]

no lol

[elfin thistle]

is the hien bad for control

[twilit flicker]

viper ultimate costs a kidney in my country

[plush burrow]

Oh yeah, I class mine expensive for a mouse but its great

[static rose]

i guess its the most well rounded mousepad

[elfin thistle]

just grow one lmao

[static rose]

from what ppl say

[elfin thistle]

compared to steelseries qck

[static rose]

anything is better than that

literally

anything

[plush burrow]

I have a standard hyperx mousepad, I bought it recently so definitely not shilling out on a mouse pad any time soon

[alpine trail]

no

[elfin thistle]

unlucky

[alpine trail]

for me, especially out of the box, it felt like it was a bit scratchy on my mousepad

but it broke in and feels better now

[elfin thistle]

so I should be better after I get the hien

[static rose]

isn't that just that needing it to break in

[elfin thistle]

time to cope

[alpine trail]

yeah

[plush burrow]

Good because I been burning money recently

[alpine trail]

the edges are 'sharp' and not rounded off on the mouse feet

good news though, good mousefeet is only like what 10usd

8 usd

[plush burrow]

Did you take the peel off that usually comes on the feet or was it not that

Idk if it comes with xm1r

[alpine trail]

nah there's nothing to peel on the mousefeet

it comes with a replacement set of larger mouse feet (2) instead of the 4x corner ones it comes with

[plush burrow]

You can peel the mouse feet 🤡

How much are custom feet usually anyway? Never looked into it

I know my viper ultimate came with it

[twilit flicker]

corepads are like 10 euros i think

[alpine trail]

$8 usd for tiger ice skates

[twilit flicker]

8,50 euros*

[elfin thistle]

what should I expect from a hien

performance wise

[alpine trail]

Easier to move your mouse

[plush burrow]

Might consider it when it wears out instead

[alpine trail]

Thats what im doing limitz

[dusty niche]

glorious model o or zowie ec2-c

[alpine trail]

Model o is decent mouse but bad shape

For most grips

[dusty niche]

for claw?

[alpine trail]

Claw get xm1r

Will not he disappointed

Also what's your hand size

[dusty niche]

not small

med-large

[alpine trail]

Xm1r is perfect claw mouse

And 10usd more than model o

[plush burrow]

Tak should become a sales representative

[alpine trail]

Lmao

tries one mouse

buy this

[plush burrow]

Where the xm1r scouts

Definitely in voltaic apex channel

[alpine trail]

Ye

Its secretly dongie

[plush burrow]

Dongie is definitely someone

[alpine trail]

Undercover respawn employee

[plush burrow]

He's gonna get caught out one day

[plush burrow]

He actually could be

No wonder we got 60hz servers

Can't feel the difference, just go 4k60hz

[alpine trail]

60hz?

Yiu mean 20hz

[plush burrow]

60hz but feels like 20hz

Mb

[alpine trail]

Apex is 20 tick

[plush burrow]

Ouh

[alpine trail]

I thought it was a joke when I first found that out

[plush burrow]

Forgot, peanut brain

[dusty niche]

postpick crash/dc is driving me nuts

small indie company btw

[alpine trail]

Are you using animated banner

Pose

[dusty niche]

yes

heirloom

[alpine trail]

Take it off

[dusty niche]

rly?

[alpine trail]

Yes

[plush burrow]

Yes

[dusty niche]

does it work?

aright thanks

[plush burrow]

But its not as bad anymore but does affect it

[alpine trail]

They said before animated banner poses causing issues with connectivity

Not sure if its 100% fixed or not

[elfin thistle]

dongie is respawn's pro tester

[plush burrow]

Before it was crashing, now not as bad but still tucks with it

[elfin thistle]

this is fucking hilarious

[dusty niche]

what a circus

how does it even related code wise

just wondering

curiousity

[alpine trail]

You're asking the wrong people

[plush burrow]

Someone else figured it out, respawn only validated it

[elfin thistle]

as a respawn employee

[dusty niche]

lmao

[elfin thistle]

I can confirm that how we coded that in was when ben the intern spilled coffee on his keyboard

but it looked good so we kept it

[zealous ravine]

it's a technological marvel that this thing works at all

[dusty niche]

its not a bug it is a feature

classic

[elfin thistle]

actually this was how we coded most of the game

the code from bloodhound came from pineapple juice

[bright elm]

dude

[elfin thistle]

seer was just when we bukkake'd the keyboard

[bright elm]

why do i have to spam fucking 1 and 2

just to pull out my gun

[elfin thistle]

why not

[bright elm]

i died because i clicked 1 3 times

and it didn't pull out my gun

so i just got beamed

[elfin thistle]

don't you enjoy it

[bright elm]

no i don't

im not a masochist

weirdo

[elfin thistle]

its the scientific method

we gotta take more inputs

and take the average

so we can have a reliable result

if you didnt spam 1 at least 10 times we don't know if that's what you really wanted to press

[bright elm]

yeah mb, apex is an experiment on who has the strongest mental

[static rose]

i landed through a building yesterday

[bright elm]

i literally waited

10 minutes in queue

just to die off drop

since my gun doesn't want to pull out

[static rose]

there is now noclip in apex legends

[bright elm]

whatever imma play vaaks

kek

[alpine trail]

sv_cheats 1;noclip in auto exec

imagine that worked

[static rose]

lmfao

buddha mode

[bright elm]

why does the game with one of the best gunplay and movement

have to be made by respawn

[alpine trail]

people say the same about super smash bros melee

[bright elm]

and be published by EA

[elfin thistle]

imagine if fortnite were made by respawn

[bright elm]

it would die on launch

[elfin thistle]

"so we removed building because cranking 90s is inaccessible, lacks readability and is exacerbated by skill"

[bright elm]

fortnite was fun until they started adding shit the community didn't ask for

like who tf asked for npc's that can kill you in 3 seconds

[elfin thistle]

me

[alpine trail]

LMAO

[elfin thistle]

I asked

[alpine trail]

i remember the one time i played fortnite i was like

yo theres people here and i shot those fuckin NPC elite marine soldiers

jesus christ those things are hard to kill

and beam

it was also the time where there was like fucking kamehameha in the game

and you can get laser beamed through walls for 100+ damage

some super hero shit

[bright elm]

bro

some of the npc's have astra tracking

and wallhacks

for no reason

and guess what

they kept that in competitive fortnite too

LMFAO

[alpine trail]

really?

[bright elm]

yeah

[alpine trail]

wow

[bright elm]

there's still npcs

walking around

in comp

[alpine trail]

what do yo ueven get from killing them

is there some good reward for it?

[bright elm]

weapons and ammo

[alpine trail]

is it at least high tier loot

[bright elm]

no

not really

the loot is trash

lmao

the only time I actually picked up an npc weapon was when stark's home was still a thing

because the weapon they used was meta

at the time

I believe

[alpine trail]

do you guys think games need regular updates/changes to keep it fresh

like the current model of comp games is pretty frequent patching/meta changes

[bright elm]

depends on the game

as long as you don't pull a csgo

[static rose]

i feel like the most important changes that can be made to avoid all this is like better map pools

since you change the viability of chars on certain maps rather than the characters themselves

[alpine trail]

i feel like once they have something good they should just keep it that way

[elfin thistle]

tf2 has a great patch schedule

wdym

i feel like

if you keep changing the meta

[static rose]

i think this is also the best

[elfin thistle]

you're capping the skill ceiling

[static rose]

b/c you allow for the skillset of the players to increase over time

[alpine trail]

valve/CS knew the maps from the beginning were good maps, and did not try to reinvent themselves with crazy map designs/changes to keep the game fresh

they just stuck with what was known and known to be good, and made slight tweaks in certain spots

[bright elm]

no?

\

[elfin thistle]

I like cs cuz I can always go back to it and the meta is not completely different

[bright elm]

if you add new stuff to the game, it increases the skill ceiling

unless the thing they add is useless

[elfin thistle]

if you keep changing the whole meta it forces pros to keep learning the game over and over again

compared to if you just kept the same meta people get more time to learn it

[static rose]

the thing is you can never know what the ceiling is

[bright elm]

a change to the meta

increases the skill ceiling

??

[elfin thistle]

ok so lets say

[bright elm]

if you change something fundamentally to the meta

it forces people to learn and adapt to the new meta

and because it's something new

[elfin thistle]

yeah I was talking about this

[bright elm]

it adds more variety to the gameplay

[static rose]

that's changing the ceiling not necessarily making it more skillful or something unless that's what you mean

[elfin thistle]

ok lets say the meta is tanks

then in one patch

the meta changes to tanks being useless

and dps being the most useful

and the next patch its all supports

and it keeps changing

every few months

and the whole game fundamentally changes each time

[hallow blade]

he really thought we wouldnt notice him talking about overwatch

kek

[alpine trail]

true mains of whatever role/character/etc will minmax regardless of meta

[elfin thistle]

I'm not talking about overwatch

[alpine trail]

then its just a matter of their place in the meta

[elfin thistle]

I was actually thinking about riot's habit of dropping major meta changes right before internationals

I feel like ya know letting people learn a game longer is gonna increase the level of play

instead of forcing people to learn a new game over and over

[bright elm]

the thing with valorant is that

or with changes

it doesn't change what the game at it's core is

[elfin thistle]

what

oh

[bright elm]

like for example

when riot introduced kay/o

[elfin thistle]

yeah I was thinking about if you change the game at it's core

[bright elm]

no that's just changing the game a

[alpine trail]

like when they changed CSGO meta to krieg/aug

[bright elm]

and how it's played

[elfin thistle]

r8 meta I LOST

fastest hotfix in valve's history

[bright elm]

like i said, unless the patch is some retarded shit like

oh guys look! the kraber is now fully auto

[elfin thistle]

m4 but with scope and one tap

[bright elm]

with 1000 bullets

[elfin thistle]

well this whole update talk does hinge a lot on what the update entails

[bright elm]

the skill ceiling will either stay the same or increase due to new factors affecting your gameplay

[elfin thistle]

I feel like games should stay the way they are if they hit a good place

[bright elm]

i disagree

if they're in a good place, you can experiment with new ideas

[elfin thistle]

I also play valve games so

[static rose]

just make the game inherently difficult so it takes like 10 years to reach the highest level

oldhead mentality

[bright elm]

like csgo

[elfin thistle]

yed

[bright elm]

shit get's so boring because nothing has changed

[elfin thistle]

eh

idk I don't get bored easily

[static rose]

idk i look at it the same way as sports

[alpine trail]

s9 apex best season

[bright elm]

using a sports analogy in this doesn't work.

[alpine trail]

only complaints were revtane and eva-8

thats it

[bright elm]

the thing with sports is that

being physically active in general

and moving around

is fun

[elfin thistle]

I just don't like when devs throw updates in just to make the game different and attract casuals

[alpine trail]

spectator experience though

people still watch basketball even though its the same shit since release

and skill just got higher

[bright elm]

^^

because basketball is fun to watch

[alpine trail]

they often make changes based on spectator experience in games

we want the games to go faster and be faster paced, so we scaled damage up like a mofo

because its more exciting to see a team get nuked in 10 seconds than a 1 minute teamfight

[static rose]

lol i just saw the core-A video on that the other day @alpine trail

[elfin thistle]

ayo where's the basketball patch no. 10.1

removing jumping'

[alpine trail]

lmao i got siggi on the core-a train

a lot of those videos i feel can apply to many genres of games/FPS even

even though its fighting game centered

[static rose]

yeah

[alpine trail]

its really valuable knowledge

[static rose]

there are a lot of parallels

[hoary hamlet]

no apex day 1 feels nice

[alpine trail]

ayy

[random thistle]

lmao

[alpine trail]

nice lkj

[elfin thistle]

ok bois let's main sports now

not video games

fuck video games we're gonna go outside

[hoary hamlet]

[alpine trail]

only sport I'd main is rock climbing or powerlifting

[hoary hamlet]

does maining you count

[alpine trail]

😳

[elfin thistle]

woah

[bright elm]

i already go outside

[static rose]

i would have done weightlifting if i had known abt it if i was younger lmao

[bright elm]

i play basketball and football like 4 times a week

zzz

[static rose]

but there is no WL scene in the USA or canada really

[alpine trail]

wym

no weightlifting scene in USA or canada?

[bright elm]

what

[static rose]

its pretty much a dying sport

[elfin thistle]

going outside is gay

[alpine trail]

yeah it kind of is competitively

[static rose]

i mean they're probs gonna remove it from the olympics idk if yall know

[elfin thistle]

I go outside to go to army

[static rose]

i mean olympic weightlifting

[alpine trail]

olympic weightlifting is a dying sport

weightlifting in general is not

or powerlifting

[elfin thistle]

actually how many hours do you guys work a week

[static rose]

weightlifting is oly lifting

[alpine trail]

20-40 tbh but salary pay

[bright elm]

i don't have a job yet

[elfin thistle]

oh

[bright elm]

focusing on school

[static rose]

everything else is bodybuilding or powerlifting or strongman

[bright elm]

[elfin thistle]

I work 50h minimum and overtime can be like 5h OT in one day

without compensation or any choice

kekw

[alpine trail]

how many years youhaveleft ll0m0

in the military

[elfin thistle]

I had this happen for every day in one week kekw

uh

5 months or so

[static rose]

10 years

[alpine trail]

oh nice

[elfin thistle]

then after that I am liable to be called back until I'm 40

[alpine trail]

what was the total time you have to be in for?

2 years?

[elfin thistle]

yedf

actually 2 months less since i passed a pre enlistment fitness test

[alpine trail]

nice

skipped initial training thing?

[elfin thistle]

no

just skipped the pre basic fitness phase

[alpine trail]

lo mo

i assume

like slow mo

but low moe

yes

[hallow blade]

i think its lowmoe but i like saying yomo

[hoary hamlet]

el mo ?

[elfin thistle]

you guys got destroyed

no recovering from that one

I'd just die at this point

[bright elm]

guoba

[static rose]

Im sure you just gotta play the scenarios more

[trail grail]

apex anyone?

[hallow blade]

guoba

[hallow blade]

didnt even mean to react to that message but its funny so im keeping it

[trail grail]

@hallow blade

[hallow blade]

i thought you are a genshin main now

[trail grail]

yes

but sadly I got a job to do

[hallow blade]

sadge

[trail grail]

boot up apex, queue up in solo's in attempt to get clips for the montage, get my ass drilled by a indian with a mini gun instead

get scanned by 10 lil nas x in a single match*

@hallow blade Never-ending abuse

[alpine trail]

@bright elm

lmao

[hallow blade]

kek

[alpine trail]

2 more scores for jade rank

but i didnt vod

[bright elm]

oh shit nice

now good luck getting gm on that horrendous scenario

[alpine trail]

lmaoo

yeah you need really good pace

[hallow blade]

popcorn is easy its pasu that is the true enemy of humanity

[plush burrow]

260 wtf u crazy

[bright elm]

popcorn

not

easy

[plush burrow]

its rng and skill

[hallow blade]

popcorn 💤

[bright elm]

after masters, it's just pain

[hallow blade]

pasu is just cringe

[plush burrow]

u need skill to take on the rng

[bright elm]

pasu isn't even bad

popcorn can suck my dick tho

[plush burrow]

I wanna see 860 air voltaic easy's off you

[alpine trail]

popcorn feels easy lol

as in

the mistakes are very obvious and easy to correct

[hallow blade]

i have a 880 air volt easy

[plush burrow]

I meant that

[alpine trail]

just need to know basic technique for popcorn

then good run

[hallow blade]

im washed as hell on the vaaks

[plush burrow]

but now u average 840 so git gud

[alpine trail]

use your roller on vaaks

[plush burrow]

880 is actually goated run

[hallow blade]

855 avg get rolled nerd

bro i used to avg 870+

[plush burrow]

i dont need kovaaks to tell me anything. My roller in game is better than celestial

[hallow blade]

^

fax

i roll gwer on roller

i roll gwer on mnk too prolly kek

[plush burrow]

I'll roll anyone on roller besides jang, that was 50/50 but then again that was 60hz roller

[hallow blade]

idk jang is a different breed

1v1 demon

[plush burrow]

cant wait for these nerds to buy 490hz, so i can shit on them with my 60hz roller

cant say that 60hz anymore

feelsbad

[hallow blade]

cap fps easy

[alpine trail]

jang is strafe god

[plush burrow]

Limitz +fps_cap 60

new name

certi

[alpine trail]

fps_max*

[plush burrow]

yesyes

[hallow blade]

jangs strafe is despicable

dude is literally a problem

[plush burrow]

the vods dont matter anyway tak for voltaic, I dont think im submitting anymore

unless you want the roles but thats also fine

[alpine trail]

ye

ill just replicate the runs if i ever want the rank

i think it would be funny to have jade complete and still plat rank

[plush burrow]

Ask for advice as plat complete, at the end pull up the benches

*thanks

[alpine trail]

xd

starting to fill in this advanced spreadsheet

static is gonna be a pain but what wasn't a pain really lol

[trail grail]

why mfers always sending invites immediately after I just launched apex or I get skunked on by rolltards in ranked

[plush burrow]

I hate smoothbot ts

im actually so bad at it

[alpine trail]

you know whats funny limitz

[plush burrow]

I didnt try the advanced one, but man I worked hard to get plat in that

it was my last one and took a while, I despise it

[alpine trail]

i just look for where there's a fuckton of bots usually

in the same relative spots

sometimes you'll be tracking one bot and not even another one passes you

then you turn around and its like 5 sitting there next to eachother

[plush burrow]

thats mine, I might play some benches today. Since i got the monitor Ive done smoothbot and cfsi thats it

but these were all done on the old

I tried air voltaic, I was getting shit on hard

definitely not putting my score of that on their

[alpine trail]

bot1 aim for 65% acc +
