Re: Apex Elite Circle Damage Decreased

Not enough tho, should be completely normal value.

I'm not even playing elite anymore unless it's normal damage, ring, also first. Still kills every team that just had to win back to back fights against 2 or even 3 other teams.

Being a winner = losing in elite mode.

    @Wingmannedbro everyone needs to be on PEDS to be an elite now. If you're not on PEDS, you won't make it into the circle in time~ Needs to be tamed for sure!

    @Wingmannedbro There is a good side to this though. Most of the cheaters stay in Elite Queue. So normal queue is much more chill.

    PEDS? What is that? I'm not familiar with the acronym.

    @neillkorey & @jonesy0218 

    But it doesn't prevent passive play at all, I died to the ring numerous times solely for reason of being in combat. New ring damage is incentive to drop center of map, sneak into next zone unseen, and hide, repeat untill you're in last 5 squads, and by the end those campers have white armor and usually bad guns without attachments.

    I was watching Mendokusaii stream last night, and every game, the 3 of the last 4 squads was just a solo camper literally crouching In a bush.

    It was a small circle left, yet 4 squads remained.

    The problem with ring damage is that it created many more campers, it literally worked contra effective.

    @Wingmannedbro I don't think it's creating anything new, imo. This is how a lot of people play other games. You've got to be smarter with who you push, especially since your Elite participation and streak is on the line. It just makes sense to not play the same way as regular mode.

    Literally drop skull town or thunder dome every game I play and have been killed by elite ring very few times have left skull town multiple times with 9-12 kills as a squad and make it to the ring no problem sounds to me like you are doing to much looting if it is regularly killing you 

    you just need to be more aware of the circle and if it is a long way away just be more aggressive in your gunfights to finish them quickly

    You must be fighting some proper trashcans if that's the case. Any chance even 1 or those squads put up any resistance at all?

    First round is only like, 2 minutes, I draw it into question that you have time to loot, and slam dunk 4 squads completely solo in only 2 minutes, with 30 seconds to spare to run to a far ring (lets imagine it's north east section of the map) I don't know man, the math isn't really supportive of that.

    They must be pretty bad, and never hit shots on you.

    If you get hurt, and need to go find syringes or medkits you don't already have even once, that occupies between 30 sec to 1 min of your time depending on luck. 25% to 50% of the round 1 time.

    You do see where I say as a squad right I don’t solo it and yeah there are a lot of trash can players as you call them in this game it is ridiculous. Don’t worry about dieing in first gunfight if it happens it happens I just rush in and hope they haven’t had time to get much which most of the time works out well and if it doesn’t I die my team kills them and I get respawned whenever they get to the zone

    but yeah I have cut back on my solo plays but if you play solo every game you should probably stop landing skull town every game just throwing that out there

    also your times are incorrect you are just accounting for first zone time the timer has not started when you first land and I think the first zone takes 2 mins to close so it would be safe to add another 2 mins and 30 sec to your timeframe

    FYI I don't land solo, no clue what makes you think I do, thing is, if you wipe, 2 or 3 squads, and have to respawn someone 1 or perhaps even two times, and some team swoops in because of the respawn ship, it frequently means your squad is auto-dunked to the ring, along with your attackers.

    It's not congruent to the whole idea of the "Elite" game mode, when the actual elite squads are getting slammed out by first ring for being too Elite.

    As I said before, winning = losing is a bad thing for the game.

    @Wingmannedbrou cant call it elite mode if there isn't more dmg coming in, I would even like the wingman and longbow to 1shot headshot people :D that would be fun...

    Don't think that dying on a arbitrary condition makes it an elite game.

    It should be an elite game because the opponents are tougher than normal games.

    Ironically the easiest win I ever had was an elite match.

    Literally 4 solo campers, 3 of them with only white armor in last 5 squads standing. We were the only squad with gear, cause all the squads who shredded everyone else on their section of the map were dunked by the ring (when first ring dealt 15 damage per tick) 

    Literally nothing about it is "elite" imo.

    untill there is no kills requirement to go higher in elite every1 will camp if devs can make kills important as a placemnt you would see way different and more agresive play stile in elite
