Re: Permanent Dive Trails

@F1YBYN1GHT I wish there was general dive trails as well. It wouldn't be hard to make trails based off each legend, and even in colors.

Bloodhound: Raven trail

Gibraltar: This one is kinda hard, but maybe something like his missles

Lifeline: Healing Drones moving behind her like jellyfish, or hearts

Pathfinder: Emotes from smiles and frowns that appear in the trail

Wraith: Phase rifts in her trail

Bangalore: A smoky trail

Caustic: A Nox trail

Mirage: Holograms

Octane: Either small jump pads or random stims flying around

Wattson: Her trail is kinda the Diamond's trail, so probably just include Nessies

Crypto: Digital code in his trail

Revenant: Either his "source code" or just skulls

Loba: Wolf icons appearing or something like crystals

I really don't know if they would add individual dive trails, let alone make anything permanent. But it would still be cool. Events could have a theme too, like Christmas snowflakes, Halloween bats and pumpkins, Valentine kisses or something, etc.

  • @Midnight9746 In my opinion all ranking should obtain trails, obviously bronze and silver don’t need to have as much ‘’effects’’ and effort put into them but it would motivate me to play ranked each season If I knew I was at least guaranteed some form of a dive trail... personally I usually just get gold 4 and stop each season but I quit doing that like 3 seasons ago because I dont see the reason in grinding for a temporary trail and never use the gun charms because I have more unique ones,I could probably earn a plat trail if I actually tried but Idk about diamond with solo queue with randoms

    Im just gonna use the lightning trail as an example, I imagine lower rank trails to have just alittle lightning and stuff while higher ranked trails having alot more effects and stuff to stand out for the hard work they put into earning them

    @FaIIenAngeI777 The thing I liked about Fortnite, was that dive trails were meant to be cool things that appear behind you. These trails can be simple, or well animated. Some are for gloating purposes. In Apex however, they're only reserved for "high skilled" and "pro" players, but they dumb down the "skills" of the game to cater to noobs in some cases, controller users who use strike packs, and the cheaters usually go like a few weeks to several months of cheating before getting banned. Most of them get within the 500 TOP players rank, and some of these cheaters still play after several seasons.

    Sometimes I feel like the "pros" playing in the ALGS or whatever its called, are just hired players who follow a script. Simply because with all the game's underlining issues, these games usually go off without an issue. They get their own server, no one is cheating (don't think they even play on their own PCs, so its not like they could cheat), etc. I don't know if this is true or not, but it sure feels like it, considering I haven't seen anywhere to actually sign up, and when there was something like that, it was highly confusing and basically excluded me. *shrug*
  • @Midnight9746I also believe that dive trails should be for cosmetic purposes rather than showing off ‘’skills’’

    I agree that apex could have tons of dive trails and even some emotes, im not asking for them to add silly dances and stuff like fortnite or rogue company but maybe emotes that fit with each legend’s lore somehow (finishers are kinda like emotes I guess) but I could see octaine having some crazy ones, mirage could have some goofy ones, wattson could have some cute ones with the nessy doll or something, revenant and caustic could have some harsher ones, etc I kinda could see Gibralter riding his motorcycle but idk thats getting too fortnite

    I could see wattson having a trail similiar to the diamond lightning trail, octaine could have a stim juice trail, caustic some gas trail, pathfinder could have a grapple or 2 dangling behind him, bangalore could have 2 missles following her, wraith could have an effect that looks like her phase/portal, etc there could also be things not legend related like simple butterflies, sparkles, different color light trails, rainbow trail, just random stuff
