Re: Seriusly Respawn? What goes on in your mind when you design this game?

Sorry for bumping but I cant just believe its so few that seems to be bugged by this "feature" in a modern "competitive" FPS 2019........ There is literally a full enemy squad up on that roof that keeps peaking me, which I cant see, let alone shoot back at because it.......I accepted it when Apex was just released because I thought it was such a flaw that it would got patched away asap but its still there almost a year after its release.

Assuming that Respawn at least occasionally play their own game, they must have had it up on their meetings and actively choose to keep it in the game. Why Respawn WHY?

    You do have a point. Overwatch made an update like that a few months ago this year that allowed you to remove those symbols in transparency or something. You could increase or decrease it. The lower, the less visible they were because you really don't need to know where these things are after so many years of playing. 

    I'm just saying, it's a good idea and Apex can do the transparency settings too. These things are always good for optional settings.

    As far as I recall (don't have it installed), Apex has graphic settings for banner overlays and can be of lower transparency.

    You can also make a autoexec.cfg file/command to lower it (hud_setting_pingAlpha "0.4", default is 1).

    I havent thought about it before but I dont think its an issue on real close range because it seems like the icons disappear when close. Its at that semi-close/semi-mid range thats its a problem, especially when you are running towards your teammate to help and all you see is that icon =)

    @MemagNeman  Yeah there is an option called Ping opacity which I have on "faded", but TY, gonna try your config suggestion and see if it helps but I think its only for pings.

    I am not sure at the moment, I recall setting it too low and couldn't really see player banners/cards at all.

    Try the command and test it.
