I mean , this is like 10 wins in a row

#

loosing 10 games in one game against a cheater which is super common rn

mellow kestrel
#

yep

charred plank
#

i am happy to have -20 , i would cry of happiness if i get -20 when i lose

mellow kestrel
#

there's a reason i don't play ranked arenas to get an actual rank lol

#

i just play if homies want help

charred plank
#

me and limitz we got 8800 points rn and not playing anymore, not playing is also grinding XD

#

we played like 3 days

wait wut

#

Would be cool if there was sort of a community library of mouse shapes you could 3d print, so you could print out various shapes to see if they feel comfortable to hold before you go out and drop $60-120 on a mouse

little verge
#

Rtings has a 3D mouse comparison which is the best I can suggest.

#

Select a mouse you already use and compare the shapes in overlay and you'll be able to find something that better suits what you're looking for.

chilly path
#

Yah, it's just hard if you want to try something that's drastically different

#

Kind off interested in smaller ergo shapes that would be good for claw, but I don't have a reference point because all of my mice have been ambi

Right now using xm1 with a relaxed claw and it's very comfortable except my ringer finger never feels like it's in quite the right place. No pain or anything though. It's like being in a photo and not knowing what to do you with your hands

viscid wraith
#

Not surprised, but as per usual disappointed with this dev team lmao

#

Anyways I drive home now yay brb lol

primal prairie
#

still didn't mention anything about the visual clutter. nothing in that reply made sense or even seemed sensible it sounded like it was just spiteful toward pvp lol

viscid wraith
#

Pretty much

kind sandal
#

Thats alot of words for saying pretty much nothing

little verge
#

This fucking line: "This may come as a surprise to some, but moving while looting is a bug"

#

Nah, it surprises fucking NO ONE

deep linden
#

Also

#

They're still planning on removing tap strafing

#

Even tho lurch practically makes it so it's not possible

primal prairie
#

please dont make me cringe

deep linden
#

They're gonna have to do some wacky shit with keyboardgrace values for that to happen

primal prairie
#

i legit get goose bumps when i hear someone complain about tap strafe

fresh lake
#

man

#

apex teammates will get so mad

#

if u drop anywhere there's people

deep linden
#

And even then the question is: What counts as a momentum conversation in 90 deg angles?

primal prairie
#

moreover why would we not want to conserve momentum at 90 deg angles?

deep linden
#

I'm thinking up of a way to respond to this

agile dove
#

anyone else remember when they said they would fix tap strafing by removing the ability to bind it to scroll wheel pepeLaff

#

hard lie

little verge
#

Well, at least we don't have DZK anymore since he said he wanted to look into taking out wall bounces next.

agile dove
#

btw are there any plat gamers looking to play rn? NAE

viscid wraith
#

Beibs is turning out to be just another EA schill so oh well

#

Make fun game

#

Remove skill cap to make money

#

Game dies

#

#

EA motto

little verge
#

My favourite part of the whole conversation was them looking into visual clutter "from the examples this week."

Like bro, you've had examples FOR YEARS. This is not a new talking point.

agile dove

charred plank
#

so aim assist is getting nerfed or not?

#

apperantely not?

agile dove
#

doubt it

charred plank
#

and he says ' It is too complicated to improve the other features/limits for roller'

#

I mean yeah, we do not know the background much , technical background it must be hard to change some features that we ask easily. But yes, its obvious money >>> all, for the company

proven pulsar

deep linden

deep linden

Also since JayBiebs said his DMs are open

dreamy spade
#

i wanna see what he said

deep linden
dreamy spade
#

tbh i really like jaybiebs

#

he seems like a cool guy

deep linden
#

JayBiebs kind of a lost lamb on the roller

dreamy spade
#

idk what that means

deep linden
#

Sent him a beeg beefy reply about tap strafing

#

As someone in Asia who deals with Ras and Crylix type strafers

dreamy spade
#

honestly i respect his opinion on tap strafing even if like i disagree. the fact that his issue wasnt the fact that console couldnt do it but the fact it can be very hard to read was at the least consistent

#

i think in the vast majority of scenarios it is pretty readable

deep linden
#

Plus if you tapstrafe midfight you're asking for trouble

#

Kekw

deep linden
#

I don't think that was even as big of a tap strafe I think it was a Ras strafe but that guy used scroll wheel instead of just one W key input

charred plank

you played that well

oh yo any of yall that play on 4:3 whats the updated method for it?

iron dragon

+mat_letterbox_aspect_goal 0 +mat_letterbox_aspect_threshold 0 +building_cubemaps 1 in launch options

viscid wraith
#

are you still able to not tab out during it?

iron dragon
#

you can tab out

viscid wraith
#

ah bet

#

i remembered like an old vid from complys i think had a method that didnt let you tab out without fuckin everything up

#

so i just set my display scaling and put in the launch options?

iron dragon
#

also obviously helps to change the config to have your res and fullscreen set to 0

#

so you don't have to alt+enter twice

viscid wraith
#

alt+enter?

iron dragon

i miss the times when i could have the worlds worst posture, mousegrip etc, no stretching and play like 12 hrs daily without even noticing slight signs of any RSI

#

is this what getting old feels like?

deep linden
#

I want to know that my own physical mechanics and my mental decision making and positioning were the reasons why I won

dusky summit
#

yes

deep linden
#

Not some cheap assistance from an ingame mechanic

#

Honestly I think if CSGO learns from Valorant, it has the ability to take back the throne

deep linden
#

Valve just needs to step up

pulsar kindle
#

Maybe a refresh, on a new engine?

deep linden
deep linden
violet sphinx
#

tbh i think valve needs a new tac fps to continue the cs series but change it and learn from val

deep linden
#

Valorant on the other hand needs community content, better map design, and go back to the core product they envisioned where abilities are not necessary + allow character changes because you're not always going to feel a certain role consistently

#

And Apex just fucking needs to step up jesus fuck this game

#

And also fuck RNG spray patterns and the whole bullshit of tapping being inconsistent after a few rounds

#

(In Valorant)

deep linden
#

Honestly I have a lot of gripes about Apex that I just can't get over with that I think a lot of people would agree on such as dogshit servers, dogshit rank system, dogshit balancing of abilities, lack of content despite LTMs being able to be put on fucking weekly or daily or hourly rotations, dogshit audio, visual clutter is a fucking mess, dogshit anti-cheat, the fear of ability creep because omg tapstrafers are ruining our game even though we don't understand tap strafing, and basically asking us to spend money despite all of that bullshit

#

But hey because casuals don't know how to keep their spending habits in check, they encourage Respawn to be complacent about the problems that obviously plague their game for the past 8 fucking seasons

Video games just can't be video games anymore. They are reoccurring income for a lot of people in that industry. It's a damn shame.

wintry cypress
#

Yeah, it's become more of "we need money" instead of making an actual decent game

deep linden
#

I get games as a service is a thing now and it's probably never gonna go away but jesus fuck if the service is this bad why the fuck are you still paying?

wintry cypress
#

Probably cause casuals don't care

#

Or something

viscid wraith
#

people are still told to touch grass

#

casuals dont care if games are bad

deep linden
#

Nah casuals care

viscid wraith
#

cause its games

#

"just play another game bro wtf"

#

"or go outside hyuckhyuck

deep linden
#

Casuals care if they're having fun at the cost of actually having a decent game that isn't gonna make them cry

pulsar kindle
viscid wraith
#

bruh were talking about people who struggle to complete the battlepass despite playing the whole season long

pulsar kindle
#

Games can function without any further development if the fan base actually cares. Quake Live for example.

#

Or Unreal Tournament.

viscid wraith
#

they buy everything respawn throws at them but ply less then 2 hours a day

pulsar kindle
viscid wraith
#

i mean

deep linden
#

Like Apex has the potential to literally be the best and most mechanically intense FPS ever for the big boys at the top of the boards

viscid wraith
#

everyone has the right to spend their money on whatever tf they want

#

if they have fun with it good for them

#

but from OUR perspective its fucky

deep linden
#

But hey let's make the game more dogshit because casuals don't care anyway they'll eat this shit and spend more money

pulsar kindle
viscid wraith
#

indie studios arent even making fps very much anymore cause of how bad cheating and overall overhead costs have gotten

pulsar kindle
#

Fuck working on mechanics I want to know if you're gay

#

Sorry maybe bad jokes

viscid wraith
#

genre is just a cesspit for AAA garbage

deep linden
#

I bet CSGO has had more quality updates despite Valve practically appearing only once every two years than Apex.

pulsar kindle
#

Casual players I feel fuck around like that.

#

That's my point.

deep linden
#

And the worst part is these casuals are the types to actually try harder than the cunt who's just in a pub game for kills

#

They deny it but clearly from their gameplay

#

They care so much about placing high in a pub match and not playing ranked and actually trying to place high in something that matters a little more

#

They'd hide in a building for 20 minutes and possibly even loot in zone waiting for the end fight that ends up being a dice roll for them if they going to win while the cunt who's only looking for kills just gets the kills, dies, and goes next without a care about the last game

wintry cypress

#

Only do enough for that outcome. Any more or less and you're gonna be wasting resources and sour the bottom line

wintry cypress
#

sounds like respawn to mepepeLaff

deep linden
#

This entire generation of gamers and people are complacent, only striving for what's enough to pass the time and not trying their best for the best at all.

pulsar kindle
wintry cypress
#

no?

pulsar kindle
#

Because the way things are economically, there isn't any room in accel in anything except school if you're lucky or your job so you can keep eating.

chilly path
#

I think a 5v5 arena shooter with apex mechanics would be really cool, and not the actual round-based apex arena mode, but a quake-style arena

wintry cypress
deep linden
#

In a way, you should be working for what's enough

pulsar kindle
deep linden
#

But a lot of people aren't passionate in anything tbh

wintry cypress
pulsar kindle
#

Yeah not even those who maintain the game.

chilly path
#

The problem with BRs is they have so many players, but the top 20% of players need their own game with their own ruleset that's tuned for their skills

pulsar kindle
#

And in that sense, I wouldn't work any harder or utilize my entire knowledge if I'm not being paid for that same amount.

wintry cypress
#

any game with apex mechanics would be phenomenal if done right if feel

chilly path
#

I think warzone, apex, fortnite should basically have ranked, but then maybe an esports mode that only unlocks if you get to say diamond or masters

wintry cypress
#

which respawn doesnt seem to know how to do apparently

deep linden
#

Honestly though if Apex adds more gamemodes that appease the casuals instead of forcing everyone into BR it would be a lot more fun for everyone

chilly path
#

They could keep the esports mode one season behind and remove any shit that's not well suited for competitive

deep linden
#

Like think about it: there are modes where people can just get on, chill, and then dip

wintry cypress
#

ltms would also be nice, and less stupid guns like the fucking rampage

deep linden
#

While the main gamemodes should be the competitive spotlight

wintry cypress
#

that would be sick

#

and actually introduce algs point systems into ranked

pulsar kindle
deep linden
#

They said we'd be getting more LTMs this season but were already past the first split and all we got was a bunch of people leaving Respawn leaving 19 positions in Game Design and 24 in Software Dev and a lot of the big boys leaving, lots of exploits being discovered and abused, and an event that wouldn't even have an LTM to go with it.

wintry cypress
# pulsar kindle Elaborate

no recoil, 28dmg per hit, infinite mag + charge up mechanic that can destroy doors

tbh the destroy doors mechanic isnt too bad of an idea, but the recoil is non existent, literally takes no skill to use the damn thing

deep linden
#

And tbh Apex has had all the issues I mentioned above for over 8 fucking seasons and they still haven't done jack shit meanwhile the people at R5 already made solutions and have their own content and did the changes the community at large wants.

little verge
chilly path
#

BRs are kind of dumb for competitive play. At least ones with 60+ players. Might make sense if it was smaller maps with 30 or less, and somehow less rng, like you have starting loadouts or something.

little verge
#

"Somehow less RNG" man they've ignored literally every suggestion made to improve lootpools, and only made them fucking worse.

#

"Let's introduce an ammo type for ONE fucking weapon that could have been a crate weapon altogether"

wintry cypress
#

nah lootpools are better than season 0 imo

chilly path
#

They way loot should work is there's only one gun on the whole map and it's the smart pistol from titanfall 1 with infinite ammo. Everyone else just lands and gets nothing and has to punch eachother.

#

Like one guy gets the smart pistol and he just has to kill all other 59 players

pulsar kindle
#

Def better, but has it done enough for the game overall? Yeah but that could've been fixed 4 seasons ago. Maybe even 6-7 seasons at this point.

wintry cypress
#

yeah idk

#

still happens plenty of times where i just pick up ammo and attachments with no weapon

little verge
chilly path
#

Part of the problem is there are two types of BR players. Some of them like the idea of looting and getting shit and having to make due. It's like the survival mode type players. But Apex is more suited to something else, less rng and more skill based.

wintry cypress
#

i still think the gamemode from season 8 where u got mozam off drop was hella good

#

feel like it should be default

#

no grey items

#

idk i played that a shitton

little verge
#

But imagine adding crafting to a BR and not just copying Realm Royale's system.

deep linden
#

Remember when they brought in Mendo to give suggestions on how to improve the game?

#

And then ended up not doing anything?

kind sandal
#

Three 4Ks today, not bad

pulsar kindle
little verge
#

Pay someone to fly all the way over just to ignore him in person, the ultimate Tpose

wintry cypress
#

they even ignored playtesters i believe

#

people that gave feedback and said this or that is under or overpowered

#

just ignored

#

didnt change anything

pulsar kindle
#

They'll even ignore nerfs/buffs depending on pick rate.

ember wagon
#

can genetics affect peak skill preformance?

chilly path
#

It's because what the pro players and high level players want is vastly different from what the people who only play quickplay want. It's trying to cater to two vastly different groups and it doesn't work.

kind sandal
#

Average players wouldnt even notice the changes the pros are suggesting.

deep linden
#

Yep

#

They think "omg it bad" when in reality they don't even use the tools at their disposal enough for it to even matter

pulsar kindle
#

Hence why I do like the idea that was mentioned about a specific part of the game/lobby that can only be accessed by people after a certain rank has been reached.

little verge
#

But don't you see, the casual players would see that developers catered to core players for once because they complained about it hard enough. The casual audience has certainly never done a thing like that before (bhoptapstrafelegendnerfsAAreducedr99wingmannerfs)

pulsar kindle
#

And then you'd have a small, yet efficient skeleton crew that would maintain those servers and the playing therein.

pulsar kindle
chilly path
#

I used to play fifa a lot and I played with guys that woudl get mad if the players on the other team used skill moves because "They just wanted to have fun." I think there's just way too many people in the player base that want more rng, a lower skill ceiling so they can not die immediately on drop

#

Which is why I think they need two modes that are balanced differently

wintry cypress
#

lmao

#

reminds me of instagram posts of people being good at a game like warzone or rocket league

#

them pulling of some crazy shit

#

and people in the comments say ''this is why i stopped playing the game''

chilly path
wintry cypress
#

i mean i gotta be honest, there's no way someone with 1 hour a week can compete with someone with 30 hours a week

#

idk how they would think so either

honest heron
#

casual players offer a lot less value to the developers

pulsar kindle
#

Heh

chilly path
#

@wintry cypress I don't think they expect to compete with them. THey just want to play and have fun. So you end up with skill based match-making, or things added to the game that make it easier for bad players to accomplish something.

#

@honest heron I don't know. I think casual players actually spend a lot of money in aggregate. One person doesn't spend a lot, but like 80% of the community are casuals.

honest heron
#

Guess so

wintry cypress
#

but then i feel like apex would also need alot more casual gamemodes

chilly path
#

Personally, I think they just need a dedicated mode for the hardcore players that has some kind of requirement to enter. That way the hardcore are just not in the same games as the casuals and they modes can be balanced differently.

honest heron
#

not sure why they dont just make a separate mode

pulsar kindle
wintry cypress
#

not sure why the devs dont just put effort into their game

chilly path
#

@pulsar kindle Honeslty, letting people choose might be all that's needed. If you have esports client, the casuals won't even touch it. Put a disclaimer that says it's designed for hardcore players.

pulsar kindle
honest heron
#

that would require a good SR system though

#

which apex does not have

little verge
#

Why design a game for pros when you can keep casuals happy and pros miserable, but just gift one some subs every now and again to keep marketing your trainwreck?

pulsar kindle
#

Maybe people will feel excluded the disclaimer is probably more desirable.

pulsar kindle
honest heron
#

kinda sucks that the devs are sabotaging their own game

pulsar kindle
#

Is creating a pro circuit for Apex just a bad byproduct of human perceptions?!

pulsar kindle
little verge
#

Big naaaaahmbur

#

It was just carried into existence by a select few people. You get a few die hards in any hobby/title.

#

Btw

little verge
#

Initially they did, since they invited pros to the early tests before launch.

deep linden
#

Devs don't understand what tap strafing is

pulsar kindle
deep linden
#

All they see are reddit/twitch clips of it and think "ah yes you need scroll wheel to tap strafe"

pulsar kindle
#

to do it effectively

honest heron
#

they can literally just add a way to do it on roller, which can already be done

deep linden
#

It took me less than 10 minutes with a Titanfall 2 speedrunner to be able to explain tap strafing and lurch by myself

honest heron
#

but no

#

lets just remove it

deep linden
#

Only "harder" in a sense

honest heron
#

harder in that you have to spam it, which is annoying

little verge
deep linden
#

The point is simply just that you have to stack lurch within a set amount of time (0.5 seconds)

#

It's not fucking quantum mechanics where a particle is in a superposition

pulsar kindle
chilly path
#

You've gotta think of it like Apex made $1.6 billion so far, or something. How much of that money came from the diamond and higher ranked bracket players? It probably isn't much. Unfortunately they'll follow the money and pros will become less and less an influence on the game

little verge
#

About S5 they noticed how many casuals were buying in and kept doubling down. S6 was most egregious with the TTK change.

deep linden
#

Lemme turn back time and get myself a position in the lead game design of respawn

little verge
#

It's especially sad when you think back to the iron crown event where they called the casuals freeloaders.

deep linden
#

So that this travesty doesn't happen

little verge
#

Too late, Apex is like the only super profitable game besides FIFA in EA's lineup and even that's being affected by gambling laws.

deep linden
#

If anything, Respawn should just flat out admit to Apex being a dumpster fire and actually listen to the community. That way, casuals actually think "Oh shit we are being listened to" and instead of videos telling people to not buy or that "Apex is going downhill" people are actually convinced this is worth an investment into
