Imagine this: I and enemy revenant are climbing on box. I shot first with TRIPPLE TAKE, 65 damage. Before I even managed to pull other hit, puff puff, 2 bullets Im ded. End game screen says: 90 damage in 7 bullets with DEVOTION!. How is that possible! I really dont know anything anymore, this game is making me tired....
Client sided hit detection in combination with laggy players and laggy servers.
Yep as the other user already suggested it is laggy servers. My mate has crappy internet and really high package loss and ping. Sometimes he only notices that he's being shot when he's already cracked.
Even if your internet is good there can still be something sus going on with the Server. I made a post here a few days ago about some confusion that I saw on my death recap cause it didn't align at all with the damage I did in the fight - and that was definitely not the fault of my internet.
Me and a friend had an Apex-only lan party when our GFs were out of town for a weekend... We sat in the same room on the same connection (1000 mbit up and down, 15-20 ping) on high end gaming computers and recorded all our games. Then we put them side by side on split screen at synced them against the match timer and you could easily see how un-synced two clients sometimes were, even with the same low ping =)
For instance, when I opened a door on my screen, I was still running towards it on his. It was just maybe 1/3 of a second behind but thats quite alot in combat. 1/3 second is like 60 dmg with a R301 of bodyshots for instance. Now imagine how much desync there is when some are playing on 100-150 ping =)
if so, there is a simple solution for that. dont' give non european players the option to choose european servers.
I know, it will never happen, but christmas is coming...just one wish
Hehe yeah I know. I always play on EU and just a couple of games ago, one of my teammate was stuttering like crazy. Noticed it already at the drop from the dropship; he was going back and forth in the air all the way down. His username was a typical arabic-looking name so I just asked him where he was from and told him that he was lagging like crazy. He said he was from Qatar and played with 180 ping and that EU was the best servers for him =)
I also know some high skilled players (master-predators) that plays on EU during weird hours when queue time is long in NA...
New wonder of Apex netcode: 6 mastiff hits into caustic from close distance, and he is still alive.... 20-30 each....
