apex

[simple stream]

what region though

u need steam or origin

alr

[charred plank]

Aren’t you now ?

[viscid wraith]

I'm only on for little spurts compared to before, and some nights I can't even be on at all it's more variable

[viscid wraith]

Also hehe

Goofy little octane main

[charred plank]

I hate respawn for this , they are always making Silva sad

[smoky talon]

No

[viscid wraith]

Not always lol

[near drift]

Bro what did you press to do that sliding movement

[tawny comet]

the goblin mode button

[leaden delta]

tbh its starting to feel fast

i keep on overshooting now

[smoky talon]

50cm apex time

[leaden delta]

tempted

no matter how much i try, i cant find a sens i like, after 2 days it feels like shit

[viscid wraith]

Then play it for 4-5 days lol

[leaden delta]

i did, i played 1,4 for like a month

[viscid wraith]

Eat your lumps you're gonna suck

[leaden delta]

and i got worse and worse on it lol

[viscid wraith]

Why

What did you differently over time

It isn't the sens that's the problem

[tawny comet]

you dont have to "find a sens"

idk even know what i play on

[viscid wraith]

^

If you're degrading over a period of time there's an underlying factor you need to identify and work on

It isn't the sens

[leaden delta]

idk thats the thing

its like overtime i just generally get worse, smoothness

like i really want to figure out whats wrong

[viscid wraith]

Think about what you do differently when you're "good" vs when you're "bad"

Irl shit too

[leaden delta]

i hit my shots

and im comfy

but thats a rarity

[viscid wraith]

More sleep/less sleep, hydrated/not hydrated, proper warmup before hand/none, long day/were you fresh, etc etc etc

So much different variables correlate to your performance at a given time

[leaden delta]

i get 7.5 hours each day

im constantly drinking water

its just a skill issue

[viscid wraith]

Ok

Then figure out what the skill issue is

Lol

[leaden delta]

everything with aiming

[viscid wraith]

I can't tell you as I'm not you

[leaden delta]

i just need someone good to watch over me and tell me what im doing wrong ong

i could put something in vods but i dont think anyone will watch a 10 min game

[viscid wraith]

You should be able to do that yourself, but ig you could put something in here someonell prob look at it

[lethal wraith]

the issue could be simply overfixating on aim

think I'm about to go absolute psycho mode and start practicing wingman with a holo

[zealous pier]

Warm up before you play but try not to consciously think about aim

[leaden delta]

i do warm up. i just think its mentality

im trying to fix it, but its really hard

[hallow fable]

hi

@grizzled willow sorry to bother man but just to be clear, to do what you did in that clip you slide jumped forward then spammed "s" and scroll wheel w while holding crouch?

[lone sundial]

hi

[little verge]

I'm not sure whatever effect artist thought your screen should get flashbanged every time you get hit with abilities, but I hope they never find work in that field ever again.

Caustic smoke effect is on the stairs and sitting above where I'm fighting and there's no clear edge of what's in and what's not because the whole floor level is free of the smoke effect, but I was just on the edge and got flashbanged fucking twice.

[alpine trail]

yo guys, really good session today

tried the positioning thing and also tried to avoid damage as much as I could

played ranked too, didn't care if I lost rp or anything

and actually made 150 rp

not ratting at all

still slipping a lot and widepeeking without noticing, but there is definite progress

[little verge]

How are there a billion master players this season but I still get double diamonds as teammates.

[viscid wraith]

getting on to 2 fucking hours of stormpoint is depressing

[little verge]

Getting onto Apex is depressing* ftfy

[viscid wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/true-kramer-thats-true-true-dat-seinfeld-gif-9432807

god i love valk rockets

whoever the fuck decided a large AOE arc star was balanced is a fucking moron

[little verge]

I seriously don't know how to enjoy any aspect of this game anymore, because now even the movement and shooting feels so compromised because I'm getting blasted around corners every fucking fight, or someone's lagging their ass off and I can't hope to track them.

[foggy radish]

So basically some friends and me are getting back into Apex. How do you even start improving efficently. Spamming games probably isn't going to be the play. Any advice?

[little verge]

If I play pubs, it's McDonalds wifi console stacks. If I play ranked, it's three stacks from EU or JP with 250ms.

[turbid condor]

https://www.twitch.tv/coffindodgersgg/clip/AuspiciousBitterSoybeanPermaSmug-T-WX2iotJ1zDmnt1?filter=clips&range=24hr&sort=time#

tourney devils 😈

[lethal wraith]

is this due to nerves the closer an enemy is? You seem to be able to stay on target fine at some times

[alpine trail]

it is definitely due to nerves

it used to be much worse

but I just can't figure out how to work on it or stop it

[viscid wraith]

closer to teammates, high ground op (ie tops of buildings), you got hella lucky near the end there that the wattson didnt just push you, you needed to go up the stairs and heal or play the other door - otherwise really not bad, need more playtime

[alpine trail]

I realized after watching that after Wattson left the building, he couldn't get back in because his friend's lootbox is blocking the door, so I could actually revive my teammate there

I had the bubble too, so quick rez

but while playing I still miss a lot of details

[lethal wraith]

hmm yeah, it's tough honestly, I personally have no clue how to work on the nerves

lower sens might mitigate the problem, but it won't fix the issue itself I guess

[alpine trail]

I basically had the worst combination of mental disorders you can ask for

depression + anxiety disorder

plus things like inferiority complex

so getting in a fight is frightening + really nervewrecking for me

[lethal wraith]

honestly, in that case I would legitimately maybe suggest trying apex on a controller?

although I'm not sure how much you are into aimtraining and stuff

[alpine trail]

oh I don't like controllers at all

and I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed of this but, I have currently 1032 hours in kovaak

[lethal wraith]

I wouldn't worry about that, I personally have 1371

but I guess fair enough

shaking isn't an issue in kovaaks, right?

[alpine trail]

not at all, yeah

I just have normal deathgripping related slight jittering

that is all

like everyone else

I am hoping that improving my mechanics and overall finesse in the game will help me with confidence

and shakiness as a result

so I will keep trying to improve, give it my best and see how it goes

[lethal wraith]

do you nofill?

[alpine trail]

I didn't try it at all

I don't think I am good enough for that atm

[lethal wraith]

I was thinking that maybe doing something more difficult would make you accustomed faster*

[alpine trail]

playing ranked causes the most amount of anxiety for the moment

so I am doing that

[lethal wraith]

ah

do you think it might not necessarily be a confidence thing as much as giving too much importance to something?

[alpine trail]

could be that of course

my guess is as good as yours

sometimes for example, when an enemy is one shot

and is running away

my hand shakes extra hard

trying to land that last shot and I miss as a result most of the time

[lethal wraith]

it does seem like a crucial moment to hit your shots yeah

learning to care less about things might be helpful

do you feel like you have ladder anxiety too?

as in you almost dread playing ranked because of the possibility of falling back in rp

[alpine trail]

I used to have ladder anxiety a lot, but not lately

I have been improving a lot in that sense

I just do my best and not worry about the outcome

but this mindset changed quite recently

like a couple days ago

until then I had been playing for placements, ratting around basically

trying to hold on to my dear RP

but for the last 2 days I play to do my best and am not dependant on the outcome

[lethal wraith]

you play with friends?

like a three stack

[alpine trail]

I am solo unfortunately, none of my friends play fps games

[lethal wraith]

personally I wouldn't even worry about ratting until diamond

you can kinda roll plat through mechanics alone

the issue is it's a bit harder alone, but with a three stack that supports the idea

you could just decide to not ever rat and focus on taking fights

[alpine trail]

Right now, as I improve my mechanics I am trusting myself more and more to take and win fights. It's just that this shakiness is ruining my potential so much

I believe I could do much better if I was normal

[lethal wraith]

makes sense, if I were you I would maybe try finding people to play with

there's a pretty easy way to do it on the main apex legends discord

[alpine trail]

I will do that, but honestly I want to hone my skills first

trust me I used to be so bad just until a week ago

I would basically just run around like headless chicken

I only now started to focus on improvement for real

so once I believe in my abilities, I will definitely find people to play with

I just, don't want to waste anyone's time you know

[lethal wraith]

yeah I get that, just think that having 2 other people with you might help with the shakiness itself

especially if these people are down to clown

[alpine trail]

btwm this is how I used to be in terms of shakiness, before I started aim training and all that https://youtu.be/jipRi-uH_sI

[lethal wraith]

it looks much better comparatively now

what sens are you on btw

wrist or arm aimer?

[alpine trail]

arm aimer at 40cm

from what I notice, I tense up my elbow a lot and click too hard

those are the things I could realize until now

can't really do much about it tho

my hope is knowing that it isn't impossible

like, it happened somehow so it can be fixed somehow

I just need to figure out how

[lethal wraith]

you don't tense up in kovaak though, right?

[alpine trail]

nah kovaak is all good

singleplayer games are good too

but for example, I tense up in Doom Eternal as well

because I play it on hardest difficulty and some levels are made to especially push you to the limit

[lethal wraith]

yeah that makes sense

[alpine trail]

something tells me that I focus too hard on "winning"

and maybe I associate missing shots with failing

[ember wagon]

now we can make fun of season 3 pred and season 12 pred

[lethal wraith]

wait so is the shakiness more wrist or elbow related

[lavish parcel]

anybody wanna play ranked I'm P2 rn its my first season playing and tips would be cool ill be in vc if anybody want to run a few

[alpine trail]

I don't know that honestly

but I know my elbow is basically in pain after a gaming session from all the tensing up

maybe it is a whole arm?

I will actually try recording handcam tomorrow on stream

and watch it back, maybe I can learn something from that

[lethal wraith]

elbow or forearm

[alpine trail]

elbow I would say

definitely elbow

[lethal wraith]

hmm aight

[warm token]

i am also very shaky, not sure if it has to do with me having Reynaud's

[lethal wraith]

I was gonna suggest wrist weights, but that might be silly

[alpine trail]

hang on Imma find the other shaky vod

just for shits and giggles

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1106128687

[warm token]

oh wow

my hands are not that shaky

[alpine trail]

even I was surprised that that happened

you can see from my reaction there 😄

[warm token]

"hooly s-"

[alpine trail]

I will spend the entire day tomorrow on staying calm

like, obviously I am tensing up, right

I will try to bruteforce it if necessary

[lethal wraith]

two more questions, do you have aim on toggle or hold?

[alpine trail]

hold

but happens on toggle as well

and funny thing, it doesn't happen on roblox

[lethal wraith]

I was gonna maybe suggest aim on toggle and binding shoot to space

seeing if that helps

[alpine trail]

I play bas business on roblox just fine, I can beam kids all day no problem

[lethal wraith]

some people actually play like that

[alpine trail]

I am thinking maybe I take some games too seriously

[warm token]

maybe try relaxing? drink tea or something

[alpine trail]

like Apex and R6 are kinda more competitive in nature

but roblox is more childish

and lighthearted compared to others

[warm token]

when you play competitive games don't feel like you have to try hard and go crazy

play the game like you usually would?

[alpine trail]

I can try that too

[warm token]

I'm not saying to down-perform yourself btw

[alpine trail]

all I know is I will be really happy when I fix this

I understand exactly what you mean

[warm token]

👍

[alpine trail]

I will try to work on my mentality maybe

and be less uptight about winning and all that competitive stuff

try not to trigger myself

[warm token]

yeah

[wooden ruin]

you guys got new wingman skin ?

[warm token]

don't think about winning, think about the next step to get further

there's the correct saying

[alpine trail]

the one in store? yeah

[wooden ruin]

such a nice recolor

[alpine trail]

purchased battlepass just like that 😄

I paid for a br game for the first time in my life

[warm token]

i've only spent money in fortnite and 20 dollars in val

actually

spent nothing in val, friends bought the bp 2 times for me

[hidden cedar]

anyone wanna pub eu?

[alpine trail]

already had 500 gold from free battlepass and I bought defiance pack on top of that

very minimal spending

[lethal wraith]

damn bro they got you

they boomed you

you're not supposed to use battlepass coins

unless you got the extra ones of course

[keen reef]

best mindset is to realise that you have nothing to lose

[lethal wraith]

but battlepass coins pay for the next battlepass

so if you spend them you have to rebuy the battlepass

that's how they get you

[alpine trail]

oh they were extra

[keen reef]

confidence is just not being scared of losing

[alpine trail]

like, I had 500 from previous seasons

[lethal wraith]

oh okay nice

[alpine trail]

bought defiance pack which gave extra 600

spent 950 of them on the battlepass

so I will still receive a lot from actual battlepass itself

just checked and yes, I will have 1200 more AC after I complete the battlepass

we good

[lethal wraith]

nice

[silver seal]

This skin is from s3 or smth xd

[foggy radish]

Am I the only one that has shader caching every single time they start their game?

[worn bloom]

I would pay real money for the season 4 flatline skin

Man and my friends were begging me to play and I didnt want to. Fire battle pass

Welcome to Apex, where people play ranked like pubs, and pubs like ranked.

[wintry cypress]

They're just better at RNG

[viscid wraith]

clearly

skill issue

i need to improve my rng stat

[wintry cypress]

Fr

Shoulda been chilling in a building like its ranked bro

[true ravine]

1330 rp from masters

[lethal wraith]

ranked is honestly so much better than pubs rn

you're more likely to drop a 20 bomb in ranked

just because people don't instawipe themselves out on drop

[torpid obsidian]

Tru

Worlds edge was so good for pubs

Not as much for rankrd

[livid cliff]

anyone down for ranked?

[alpine trail]

can someone explain mirroring to me ?

[little verge]

Really? I find WE for pubs was atrocious because you'd never see anyone if you dropped anywhere besides fragment.

And if you dropped Fragment you had to fight 19 other teams for loot.

[livid cliff]

self explanatory

[viscid wraith]

im losing my fucking mind https://streamable.com/i95i66

[alpine trail]

match their movement ?

[livid cliff]

there u go

[alpine trail]

cheers duck

[little verge]

@viscid wraith Probably why they never actually fixed the audio, so roller players can walk up for free.

[viscid wraith]

cant do this anymore today https://streamable.com/1x6ujc

havent had a single good fucking game

gold purple armor with 2 pks they know im alone SO THEY SIT IN THE FUCKING CLOSET

[wintry cypress]

LMAO WHAT

Actual rats bro

In fucking pubs

[viscid wraith]

THIS IS EVERY SINGLE LOBBY FOR ME WHEN I NO FILL

i swear to fucking god what seed code are yall fucks that get good no fill lobbies using?!

played with kutanna this morning and faced literal long strafing AI

is my sbmm that fucked??

i no filled for months a while back, its never been this bad

[worn bloom]

There has to be some cross platform issue going on. Its beyond aim assist too. You die in 1 frame to console players like they were shooting krabers bullets and they never have audio. Something fishy going on and I wouldnt be surprised if new info comes out about it

[viscid wraith]

@worn bloom https://streamable.com/6xqdgs

^

thats why

[little verge]

Probably because everyone knows the high ping advantage is considerable in a client side registration game with low AF tickrate.

So slap on a strike pack, go on wifi, skip around and be unhittable, and one frame everything that moves around cover.

[viscid wraith]

its intentional by the way

its not an "issue"

[little verge]

Free aimbot, less recoil, no bans for strike pack/cronus, those aren't enough advantages bro.

Apex Legends is just a shitty ass slot machine now where the output is lukewarm enjoyment (and usually not even then because the freebie matches are boring stomps)

[worn bloom]

WTF so thats it. Bro everyone just knows when they get beamed by a console players. You don't get that feel in any other situation unless the person was using aimbot. And the no audio too. That person explained so well too

[viscid wraith]

respawn works closely with r5 and legion

the devs for those two tools know their shit pretty well regarding the game

turns out theyre letting some of them run dev builds too to help them test content lmao

apparently they always have roughly 5-10 people at a time on the test build running lobbies

[worn bloom]

Slot machine.. thats a perfect way to put it. Every part of the game is done just to increase engagement and it sucks there literally nothing better to play

[viscid wraith]

i just want to not suck and get my flashy pub badges

[worn bloom]

Dont we all

[worn bloom]

And the entitlement is crazy. "You have your whole arm to aim plus you can tap strafe and move while looting so we SHOULD have auto aim that tracks micromovements with no delays, allows us to be ultra smooth, all while being consistent"

[viscid wraith]

i dont complain about aim assist. its whatever. HOWEVER server side favoritism is fucking bullshit

[wintry cypress]

Goddamn

The longer i play this game the less i respect it

Or the more i dislike it rather

[viscid wraith]

i hate the fact that the only thing keeping me playing this game is the friends that play it and me not having 20 bomb

the overall experience the vast majority of the time is unenjoyable

[wintry cypress]

Like it makes sense to have some shit in place for laggy players, but to have a complete advantage for someone JUST because they're on WiFi is fucking ridiculous

[wintry cypress]

Yea friends make the game 10x better

At some point I'll prob just go back to cs or smth idk

Or become kovaaks main

Or a sim nerd

[lethal wraith]

pray for a better fps game to be released

[wintry cypress]

Yea

Maybe ow2

Idk

[lethal wraith]

apex but with vanguard and audio

[viscid wraith]

im prob gonna main ow2 when it releases

[wintry cypress]

I might do the same if its good

[viscid wraith]

no matter how shit blizzard is it will still be better than apex

[lethal wraith]

I'm never touching anything blizzard ever again

[worn bloom]

Its a major issue in every crossplatform game where its tuned up way too much. The entire concept of rotational aim assist is crazy to me. So I get the idea that I just gotta get better but I want to compete with other KBM players not a machine. Especially in this game where aim assist range is literally 80% of fights

[wintry cypress]

whats wrong with blizzard, something else besides shit devs

?

[viscid wraith]

mostly devs

they dont listen to their community super duper well but theyre not terrible about it

[little verge]

Like legit, just as we were talking about this.

Finished the second to last team, only one other team left. Lifeline walks up with no audio and just one frames me with a Devotion. Maggie's Q had no sound to it either.

[lethal wraith]

shit devs + horrible misogyny doesn't help

but mostly just me seeing how they're top decking and wrecking IPs I used to love

[viscid wraith]

thats every company, be realistic

[wintry cypress]

that looks like

[viscid wraith]

blizzard has just been exposed for it

[worn bloom]

I say this as someone who came from Fortnite on roller and was pub stomping and switched just as a challenge to myself. I could have stayed on roller and called it a day and have been grinding Warzone and Apex just the same

[lethal wraith]

not every company literally causes their workers to commit suicide due to sexual harassment but yeah

[wintry cypress]

isnt that more on the management side and not checking up on ppl and their behavior

[little verge]

Like I just looked up from where we were and a Lifeline was no joke like two feet in front of us.

So they had to climb up from the opposite side and walk all the way over to the ledge we were at.

[wintry cypress]

no audio legends

[viscid wraith]

blizzard is just a scumbag company, but they all are

[wintry cypress]

gaming

what money greed does to a mf

[viscid wraith]

unironically the best hope for a high ttk fps is probably if riot decides to make one

[lethal wraith]

sure, but I probably wouldn't support a company if they were exposed for similar shit

• they fucked up royally in making games

[viscid wraith]

cause as much as i fucking hate riot i wont deny they deliver a complete and quality product

[worn bloom]

Say what you want about Blizzard or OW but that game has the best optimization, great audio, fire range, ppl actually get banned and they message you about it

[wintry cypress]

u mean val?

even though it has bullshit in it

[viscid wraith]

the thing with val is that its a really good game - i may not like WHAT the game is, but its a good game

[worn bloom]

Its a shame they were caught in a awkward phase of being a live service game while also trying to release another version of the game

[lethal wraith]

val at least has decent looking skins

no clue tf is apex doing with theirs

such a wasted opportunity

[viscid wraith]

gotta remember that apex was a happy accident

[wintry cypress]

fr most of the skins in coll events last couple of seasons have been meh at best

[viscid wraith]

the titanfall devs were fuckin around and made a br with recycled code and EA said run with it

[tired geode]

skins in this game are garbage

[viscid wraith]

tbf they have improved large aspects of the game since s0 but its still wasted

overall its literally just a happy little accident for EA

[wintry cypress]

cash grab that lasted more than 2 years

[lethal wraith]

they will most likely milk the game for as long as they can while the updates don't break it

[viscid wraith]

^

[tired geode]

i mean we all know the 2 biggest issues for PC will never be addressed because money so

[viscid wraith]

things arent getting better from here cause apex is finally in the milking phase.

[wintry cypress]

they already break half the game every update anyway

[viscid wraith]

they can let it rot and it will prob still bring in another billion through this year

[lethal wraith]

we will get more content and balance changes

but actual meaningful changes, probably not

[worn bloom]

The evo shield change was incredible. The best change they've done

[lethal wraith]

the biggest change they might do is nerf aa by .1

and that's it

[worn bloom]

Cheaters and aim assist?

[tired geode]

ofc

[wintry cypress]

one of the biggest changes they almost did was nerf tapstrafing

[viscid wraith]

i just want 4k 20 on the characters i play then i can quit satisfied copium

[tired geode]

i have several 4k 20s but like

it just feels like a slot machine on getting a random bot lobby

[wintry cypress]

cause gotta cater to casual console shitters with a skill issue that cant hit anything even though they have a computer do more than half of the aiming for them

[tired geode]

then its literally free

you just stand in labs and the entire lobby comes to you and you kill them

[viscid wraith]

unfortunately i only see those lobbies when i play with people and im not some shitbag thats gonna yell at my squad mates to feed me kills lmao

[tired geode]

or a controller randomly 1 clips you

and ends it at 16

[worn bloom]

Warzone 2 news was pretty nice. The devs seemed very selfaware. Not saying it wont have the same issues as Apex but at least it gives it some competition

Apex is as popular as it is because no other game offers what it can right now and that blows my mind

[wintry cypress]

you mean high ttk with good movement and weapons

[worn bloom]

High TTK, movement mechanics, variety of weapons that require different forms of aim

[wintry cypress]

?

[worn bloom]

DUDE

[wintry cypress]

LMAO

[worn bloom]

I swear I was typing that up lmfao

[wintry cypress]

yea

[viscid wraith]

i mean yea

[worn bloom]

HOLY SHIT

[wintry cypress]

might as well just play r5reloaded or smth

or main kovaaks

[tired geode]

apex is just crack mechanics wise

but at this point you are only playing it on mnk for the challenge

[wooden ruin]

lovely

demoted to p2 because teammates play loot simulator

[lethal wraith]

if apex die I go quake or something

[wintry cypress]

if apex dies i will be 20% happier

maybe

idk

[lethal wraith]

demoting in platinum shouldn't be an issue, climbing through plat can be really easy if you're up to par mechanically imo

[worn bloom]

OW2 looks promising and I enjoyed it for the couple months I played. Warzone 2 should be decent and I can always count on having hella people on to play.

Its a shame tac shooters dont give me that rush

[lethal wraith]

either mechanically or good macro play

I originally started playing apex because it had the most challenging situations aimwise to practice aim with

[wooden ruin]

just bad day to bh

[lethal wraith]

in the end I have no horse in this race

happens to the best

[wooden ruin]

got from p4 to p1 in 3 days but i had like 7 matches where i would go from dropping 100rp to losing 3 in a row

so its just mentally challenging atm

[worn bloom]

At the end of the day it sucks to see a game with so much potential run like a slot machine. It could have been great

[wintry cypress]

plat is ez af with a 3 stack

[viscid wraith]

worst part is i go watch someone actually fuckin good at the game and tell myself id enjoy it more if i didnt just fucking suck

[wooden ruin]

3 stacks is fun but i like playing solo

[viscid wraith]

then it just starts the cycle over of loading up this trash

[worn bloom]

And also at the end of the day I need to get better so thats why I'm here

[lethal wraith]

literally the story of every game ever except cs and quake apparently

[wintry cypress]

pretty sure the people playing that are good at the game feel the same way about the game as we do

[tired geode]

only reason i still play apex is because im tired of tac fps since ive been playing cs since like 1.4

20 years of cs really tires you out

[worn bloom]

Its crazy that CS achieved its full potential. Do ppl complain about that game? Still the same game for past 20+ years and still pulling in millions of players

[wintry cypress]

yea ppl always playing that

[lethal wraith]

yeah people will always complain, but it's still going

[worn bloom]

I watch Faide play and I get exhausted lmfao

[viscid wraith]

i have 10k hrs in tac fps valorant puts me to sleep

[tired geode]

i dont like valorant either

[lethal wraith]

voltaic should just gather up and make a good fps game /s

[wintry cypress]

i have 900 hours in cs and im absolute dogshit rn

[little verge]

Yeah, OK I'm pretty much guaranteed that audio shit is on purpose. Octane I can hear, but he's PC. Wraith I can hear, they're PC. A Gibby is literally up my ass with no audio, console.

[near drift]

what about that voltaic tf2 server thingy

is that still a thing?

[tired geode]

i have no idea how many hrs i have in cs even

[viscid wraith]

not being maintained atm cause of reduced interest

[wintry cypress]

we should ask aiden in AN lol

[tired geode]

kinda scared to know

[lethal wraith]

bad moment to talk about titanfall2

[near drift]

im jealous, people that have cs experience are the best at fps imo

[tired geode]

wouldn't be surprised if its over 20k hrs or more

[worn bloom]

+1 literally if I was the only one complaining its me but when its people at the top complaining you know theres major problems

[wintry cypress]

wouldve kept playing if i didnt play apex tbh

[wintry cypress]

for sure

"remove gold knocks''

''remove kraber''

[tired geode]

i still play sometimes at least

[wintry cypress]

''make audio better''

[tired geode]

but apex still has the best high

even if its lows are fucking low

[worn bloom]

Someone brought up game hours to Torje in his stream so I tallyed up my hours and I have 1800 hrs on KBM over the past 3 years including kovaaks. I'm not grinding enough smh

[tired geode]

sad truth is PC players are second class citizens in fps games these days

so 🤷‍♂️

[little verge]

We're not even citizens at this point lol.

[worn bloom]

Well ofc you know where you find keyboards and mouse? At offices, they're for doing spreadsheets not gaming lol

[tired geode]

at least elden ring has been a great gaming experience instead this past month

[worn bloom]

"to balance things for our console legends we have decided to decrease movement speed for all KBM players, get f*cked idiots KEKW"

[little verge]

I unplugged my IEMs because my ears were starting to hurt, jacked in my DT770s to give them a rest and it literally crashed Apex lol.

[wintry cypress]

WHAT

[worn bloom]

The future man

[tired geode]

feels bad man being a jaded bitter pc fps gamer

[worn bloom]

I used to have fun looks over at ps4 collecting dust

[tired geode]

i played tons of cod on 360 back in the day tbh

[rugged reef]

damn I think I may have messed up my gpx superlight sensor when I put my corepads skates on. Its a little stuttery now

[tired geode]

but the aim assist wasnt nearly as strong then and no strike pack cancer

[worn bloom]

What does strike pack do exactly? All I know is they can put it in semi auto and make it shoot faster than full auto but I havent run into that too often

The sound of a semi auto is big diff

[tired geode]

you can program all sorts of anti recoil patterns, rapid fire, jitters, weird movement techs

it depends on the game at least

but a lot of really cancerous stuff

[little verge]

Various scripts, so yeah most just use it for no recoil.

You can usually tell because they refuse to put on optics.

Changes in the FOV fuck with the script's recoil control so they just run irons.

[obsidian wraith]

need 1 for ranked. d3+

[worn bloom]

And ofc this stuff cant be detected

[tired geode]

nah they definitely can

it's just significantly harder

than a typical anticheat looking at memory to detect cheats being injected

[little verge]

Yeah, that's the sad thing. In ALGS somewhere they actually admitted they knew how to detect it.

So they legit know people are doing it and just don't ban anyway.

[tired geode]

yeah these scripts are mostly things that the end result should be easily detectable just by looking at player data

[little verge]

Not to mention something like an analog stick is going to be considerably less precise, so looking at both the timing and the inputs they'd be able to figure it out.

But as we've seen with Respawn anyway, blatant cheaters only get temp suspensions anyways. Only the extreme teleporting/item spawning/dual wielding cheaters get banned. Though they hardly matter even then because they have HWID spoofers anyways.

[tired geode]

and this is why i miss player run servers being the standard

oh well time for elden ring

[wooden ruin]

MNY KEYBOARD FUCKING DISCONNECTS lastm inute

lmfao

but we back to p1

😉

[viscid wraith]

guess ill go int ranked since people actually push since no one can lose

[viscid wraith]

THESE MASTERS PLAYERS ARE WORSE THEN THE FUCKING LEVEL 70S IN PUBS

no fucking wonder pred is so fucking high

this is stupid

[little verge]

My favourite master player was a Seer who was just bot walking with a sentinel ADS'd using his passive.

[viscid wraith]

+135 RUNNING AROUND LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT

IN MASTERS

WOW

full brain off

just wiped a pred 3 stack that put up less fight than bot stacks

this game is literal trash

[little verge]

After playing with my IEMs for so long, I have no idea how I ever used these DT770s.

Everything sounds so muffled.

[remote river]

Did you shoot a bullet???

[ember wagon]

anyone else have that one gun they are 100% confident with and know you hit every shot

[near drift]

well not every

but if i have a flatline or on the days my aim decides to work a wingman

then im pretty confident of doing high damage every fight

[little verge]

Sure, just let me plug in a roller

Tried that shit out in the range on the dummies and just holding left stick, could one mag them with basic R99 with barely any input.

[oblique pulsar]

i wish i did

[viscid wraith]

im not calling all preds bad. but the fact that these fucking morons are preds is a joke. https://streamable.com/pxqk74

https://streamable.com/y6p48y

ranked in season 12 🤡

played duos all morning trying to sweat vs sub lvl 200s, turn off brain and play ranked and i literally get more kills wtf is this

and these guys werent preds but ya know 2nd highest rank in the game btw lmfao https://streamable.com/ophmfj

[oblique pulsar]

crypto is the worst character to play if your goal is mechanical improvement

hes only worth playing if youre grinding like

top 5

lmao

[viscid wraith]

i like crypto, no good reason other than that

[livid cliff]

he wants to be a crypto main

[viscid wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/cormbreab-llama-big-teeth-smile-my-mom-says-im-special-gif-14039449

[oblique pulsar]

It's okay to play him just be aware that your mechanics will suffer

all crypto players i know are pepegas

[torpid obsidian]

Cryptos design is awesome

Exept

[viscid wraith]

my mechanics arent suffering cause im on crypto, but i understand your point

[livid cliff]

teq for example

lol

[torpid obsidian]

His abilitys suck because as soon as your drone goes down

Nothing you can do

[oblique pulsar]

yeah you dont have abilities

if youre not emp'ing someone

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah

[viscid wraith]

i literally play crypto cause i think hes cool and edgy lol

[torpid obsidian]

And the fact if you dont want your drone to get shot you have to be actively piloting

You cant help your team

[viscid wraith]

half the time i dont even use the kit beyond throwing the drone at a window to passive scan

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah

Wait is the uhhh

Omega point pathy skin rare?

Cuz my friend says its rare and i have it

This one

[viscid wraith]

i believe it is cause it was only available in s0

i think a lot of people call it the shroud pathy cause he ran it

[torpid obsidian]

I played like

2 games in s0

When i was like 12

[little verge]

Some console hiding in the tall grass at jurassic.

[viscid wraith]

i wanna say it was a twitch drop?

[little verge]

Jesus christ, I wish we could opt out of crossplay so bad.

[torpid obsidian]

Oh that might be why i have

[little verge]

Yeah, that's one of the OG twitch drops.

[torpid obsidian]

I thought it was a craftable one

[viscid wraith]

yeah just looked it up, exclusive s0 twitch prime skin

[raven gull]

some good soul to help me take the master? I am diamond one, I play quite aggressive

[torpid obsidian]

Cuz it has the same model as angel city pacer

[torpid obsidian]

Now i can unequip all my badges and look like a total insane player

[oblique pulsar]

if you die to a console player its your own fault.

They're handicapped so bad.

like they're playing from a wheelchair and an IV

[torpid obsidian]

True lmao

[oblique pulsar]

when i ult on my console i go down to 18 frames

[torpid obsidian]

Ive seen console dia players with the mechanics of a gold player

Cuz they can just aim assist their way to dia

[stuck void]

lol what a dumb take

[viscid wraith]

playing old gen consoles is like being on life support

[torpid obsidian]

yeah

Well

They dont have any fov

Which sucks

But i still think aim assist should be nerfed

[viscid wraith]

the only advantage console has is server favoritism and lag compensation, beyond that playing on a console is literally like getting your legs chopped off

shit sucks

aim assist is annoying but if youre aim dueling people youre going to get shit on by it

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah

[worn bloom]

Bro this skin is soooo clean

[viscid wraith]

just dont aim duel

is bad habit anyway

lul

[torpid obsidian]

But in plat lobbies everyone aim duels

Lmao

People ego challenge everything

And it works becuz people in plat suck

(No offense to people in plat)

[stuck void]

you inevitably have to aim duel at some point

[torpid obsidian]

Sure

[stuck void]

ironic to say that in a server full of aiming autists

[torpid obsidian]

Dude i have shit aim

[worn bloom]

I have this man its so bulky looking lol. It was the very first twitch drop

[torpid obsidian]

I see

[worn bloom]

I dont htink its rare tho

[torpid obsidian]

If its a twitch drop that means its never coming back right

On top of it being s0

[viscid wraith]

correct but 90% of the time when people say they got shit on by aim assist theyre dumbfuck walking in the middle of the street trying to flip their wingman like fuckin aceu

[torpid obsidian]

Makes it decently rare

[torpid obsidian]

Literally me !

[stuck void]

yeah of course

[worn bloom]

Would you say some thing about other legends? I've heard it about Caustic mains but what about a Wattson?

[viscid wraith]

wattson is fun af to be a hyper little shithead on

[stuck void]

You have to choose situations when to be aggressive but when to be not aggressive

[worn bloom]

I dont main anyone but I play a lot of Horizon and Ashe and I do feel more cracked playing them

[torpid obsidian]

I literally have no positional awareness

[viscid wraith]

doing schmoovement on wattson and fencing people is hilarious

[torpid obsidian]

I just shoot

[little verge]

I wouldn't mind AA half as much if I could hear them run up half the time, or the game didn't have trash compensation and low tickrate, or visual clutter wasn't a thing, or if there wasn't dumb shit like ability slow and DPI slow.

[worn bloom]

Yeah I started playing her recently on Kings Canyon and shes lowkey fun AF and for whatever reason I pop off on her

[torpid obsidian]

I almost got a 2k on wattson

[viscid wraith]

shes my backup if i dont feel like playing pathy or crypto

[torpid obsidian]

Without using her util or anything

[viscid wraith]

plus catgirl is adorbs

[torpid obsidian]

I love pathfinder

His grapple is so fun

The silly hyper grapples

[viscid wraith]

going from crypto/wattson to a flying fridge hurts sometimes lul

getting almost always hit for max by shotguns really alters how you have to take fights

[ember wagon]

i haven't played this season like at all is masters actually as easy as everyone is saying

[viscid wraith]

yes

[ember wagon]

like diamond level easy?

[viscid wraith]

stubby these are masters players https://streamable.com/ophmfj

[oblique pulsar]

crypto and wattson are fine. It's just with crypto youre always the last guy in. and a lot of your fights are decided by game sesne rather than mechanical outplays

[viscid wraith]

its like shooting AI

its easier than fucking pubs

[worn bloom]

One of the first games from this season. I literally never played Wattson before and I was doing terrible with everyone else and just popped off. Not too shabby

[ember wagon]

damn quit at the right time huh

[viscid wraith]

makes sense if youre playing him properly, but tbh i seldom do unless its near final rings

[worn bloom]

If it means anything, I've been running into some cracked Crypto players

[ember wagon]

so whats the point of ranked if its so easy

to like hit pred

[viscid wraith]

if you can no life the game yes

rn pred cap is over 20k

#1 is over 100k again

if not the point is to run around like a fuckin moron cause you cant demote

not a flawed ranked system btw

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah they need to find a diff system for ranked

[viscid wraith]

its almost like copying the ranked systems that most other games use effectively makes too much sense

nah nah nah we need to be unique

[torpid obsidian]

Oh and the fact that placement is the most rewarding rp

[viscid wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/unique-im-unique-i-am-unique-gif-13481429

[torpid obsidian]

Is dumb

[alpine trail]

whys

ranked feel so much easier

[torpid obsidian]

Because it makes everyone rat

[alpine trail]

this season

[viscid wraith]

cause everyone is masters

and diamond is basically bronze

[torpid obsidian]

Precisely my point

[worn bloom]

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I can forgive you for randomly spoiling a Wordle for me on stream, I guess

[torpid obsidian]

Shush im proud i got to diamond

[alpine trail]

i got maters

masters

[viscid wraith]

from your perspective you should be proud

[alpine trail]

in 3 days

[torpid obsidian]

This is my first season in diamond

[alpine trail]

and pred

[viscid wraith]

dont let me hate on your parade, from my perspective every rank is dogshit rn

[alpine trail]

is fucking

24k

like

who even got time

to grind this shit

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah pred is for uhhh

People who like

[viscid wraith]

isnt chaotic or whatever tf his name is a 17 yo with no job or school

hes literally just playing apex

[torpid obsidian]

Dont have school or job

[oblique pulsar]

rolled

[alpine trail]

yea

figures

[worn bloom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkQaL9SU2BY not saying your wrong but..

[torpid obsidian]

Once you get to masters its so pointless to grind any more than that

[viscid wraith]

i work full time, and this is only my 2nd time hitting masters

[torpid obsidian]

Unless you havr 18 hours a day

[viscid wraith]

no way in HELL am i grinding pred out when its over 20k lmao

[torpid obsidian]

Exactly

[viscid wraith]

and thats the problem

its a grind

theyre farming fucking morons like in those clips i posted

[worn bloom]

Bro I love that clip lol.. I dont watch anime but I did watch 3 episode of cowboy bepop and I really liked it

[viscid wraith]

its literally a time commited trophy

[torpid obsidian]

Its more grinding than genshin impact lmao

[livid cliff]

i mean in legit every game the top rank is a grind

[viscid wraith]

like obviously there are some very very good players in pred but you dont have to be very very good to be pred

[livid cliff]

i mean its never been like that

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah

I think

[viscid wraith]

pred level players 🤡 https://streamable.com/pxqk74

highest achievable rank btw

[ocean depot]

👀

[viscid wraith]

kek fucking w

[torpid obsidian]

Why does

Stramable

Make me download the video

??

[viscid wraith]

are you on mobile?

if not i have no idea

it should embed a media player on desktop app

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah i have mobile

Is weird

[viscid wraith]

click the link niot the video

[torpid obsidian]

My camera roll is just random peoples clips

[viscid wraith]

should take you to a site where you just press play

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah well its not doing that

Weird

Anyway

[torpid obsidian]

These are just masters players with a lot of time on their hands

[viscid wraith]

they arent even masters level

those are d4s

or should be

[torpid obsidian]

Shush im a d4

[viscid wraith]

just be a pub star at this point it honestly means more lmfao

[alpine trail]

masters

means nothing

[torpid obsidian]

I just want to get masters

[alpine trail]

im running master lobbies

like these people

[torpid obsidian]

And then play pubs

[alpine trail]

are handless

[viscid wraith]

at this point my lack of 20bomb is the most annoying thing, i could give two shits about hitting pred

[torpid obsidian]

Dude

I am shit when playing pubs

Goated in dia lobbies tho

[alpine trail]

yea

thats facts actually

20 bomb

is so hard

these days

[viscid wraith]

dude the players in ranked are worse than the level 70s in pubs

[torpid obsidian]

Its a diff formula

[viscid wraith]

im not joking

[alpine trail]

its just

impossible

cuz people die too fast

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah

[alpine trail]

and too all over the map

[torpid obsidian]

Pubs rn is like

[alpine trail]

only character its kinda doable with

is valk

[torpid obsidian]

You have to land at hot drop

[alpine trail]

u can insta reposition

[torpid obsidian]

And then get super lucky

I dont even have a 3k

Because i cant farm anyone because the teams die way too fast

20 bomb is just hard

And you have to get the right lobbies

Maybe i just need to keep dropping hot drop and instantly dying

[summer hatch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WODRI7R5i14&t=19s

[alpine trail]

3k hours

4k*

bro

i dont even got 1k

[torpid obsidian]

JESUS

I dont

Even have

[viscid wraith]

i just hit 1.5 on steam

[torpid obsidian]

400?

[viscid wraith]

sad to not have a 20 after so long

[torpid obsidian]

jesus

[viscid wraith]

but hey at least im 2nd highest achievable rank in the video game 🤡

[torpid obsidian]

How do you guys have so much time

[alpine trail]

i got

800 hours

over

more than a year

[torpid obsidian]

I have 400 hours

Over

Liek

2 years

[viscid wraith]

i put in 160 over 2 weeks a few times

i have no life

[alpine trail]

i just spammed it

[torpid obsidian]

How much do you play daily

[alpine trail]

during covid times

when i was stuck inside

lol

[viscid wraith]

lately only a few hours

[little verge]

Man, I'm S0 with like 1400 hours lol.

[torpid obsidian]

I was hardstcuk plat during covid

[viscid wraith]

i used to have spurts of playing for 10+ a day tho

[torpid obsidian]

I was super depressed during covid and my aim was utter dog

Like its hard to play a game when tired all the time

[viscid wraith]

damn i wanna say arena pred means more than br pred but the side note to that is less competition

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah no arena rank means nothing

Because no one plays it

[viscid wraith]

matchmaking is too flawed

too many games killed plats

[torpid obsidian]

Im like bronze 4 in ranked arenas

[alpine trail]

pretty sure

[torpid obsidian]

And you get placed with diamonds

[alpine trail]

if ur like diamond in arenas u just get matched against 1 other diamond and the rest

is just random gold and plat players

lol

[viscid wraith]

i loaded up an arena preds stream one time and almost projectile vomitted when he said they were farming sao pao

[torpid obsidian]

Sao?

Pao?

[viscid wraith]

like holy shit literally commit stuff things TOS

[alpine trail]

its a low populated server

[little verge]

That's all anyone does these days, go to a distant server and play.

[alpine trail]

i dont

because diamond lobbies

are so easy

wherever u go

[torpid obsidian]

I play NA servers

Yeah freelo

[viscid wraith]

imagine being such a scumbag lowlife that you play arenas and STILL need to farm a dogshit server to get it

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah well at least they arnt paying for 20 bombs
