Re: Third Parties ARE an issue

@PogeNoobOk that may be so what do you do when you get third-partied and you can't get out of it and can't shield swap fast enough, then what? I'm only asking because on to many occasions I myself experience this along with the fabled third-party a third-party of a third-party. It like a dog pile later in the game. What do you do for that kind of encounter? 

Exactly. Shield swapping is the ultimate solution to replenishing your shields, but sometimes you get trapped in those situations when you don't have time to shield swap. That's where this solution really shines. Since you're getting some shield health regenerated from the engagement, you could still shield swap, but you'll have that extra leg up against the competition.

I hate dog piling. I'm sure you do, too. This should make people think twice about third party engagements. Hell, they're still going to do it. But this would allow a more favorable transition from one fight to the next.

Can you guys just stop!. 3rd party is a problem  because how loud the game is.. I could shoot my gun on kings canyon and a squad on Olympus can hear it and rushes in.. the games are over fast because how loud the guns, revives, self revives, foot steps, ziplines, portals, lobas ring thing, looting, gun swaps, caustic dropping gas bottles and jumping off small af ledges. On KC just hear for the dragons and yup.. That's a squad there.. worlds edge someone is gonna fall in the lava or listen to the wells going up, yup squad there.. on Olympus you've got both the phase runner and the titan. 

The sound is to high, it attracts other teams and the game is over before it got started. THATS the real issue! Not swapping shields or any of that b.s...  there would be no need for that if it didn't sound like you're firing off lightning bolt each bullet you take. Gez 

They really need to fix this. I can't play a game without the dog piling. It's really getting old and frustrating when you have no time to heal and just keep fighting squads back to back. The sound does draw them in. But also they reward the third partiers with extra kills. Maybe if they fix that part it might help. Example: You're fighting a squad and down two of them before a third squad enters. They finish the last player of that first squad you're fighting and they get all 3 kills. If you downed two and they downed the third, then you should get two kills. They finish off your squad too because you're all low from the first squad. They get 6 kills for hardly any work. They're rewarding third partiers with extra kills... Maybe receiving extra shield after you finish a squad would help too. Swapping shields doesn't always work if you already swapped it, It only works one time. Finishers will fill your shield.

What if you swap with a broken shield? 

I used to think shield swapping used to work until I kept picking up broken shields... 

apex needs a far better idea. 2 years and nothing

I agree, the sound in this game is bad, not COD bad but a tier belowl. Teammates footsteps sound like thunder to the point you cant hear enemies, yet enemies are barely noticeable until far too late, gun fire can be heard from 1000 meters pulling every sweaty k/d whoring ragequitter to the location to the point I don't even want to engage in a gunfight because within seconds 5 teams are on you. They want people to interact and fight early but the loot tables and design tell us its better to not fight.

the goddam birds on olympus.... I haven't noticed them as bad recently but now I try to avoid the meadow areas because there so much twittering.

A while ago two friends of mine and I excessively third-partied others. Risk is second to none, reward is usually really high. Win rate was pretty good as well. With how aggressively some people fight, it's only a matter of the first ring closing until you find red armor for literally second to no work. And the reason why it worked is because a huge majority of the players are very aggressive and - like I pointed out in another thread - are out for the kills. Most of the time the last 3 squads want to fight each other. If you so happen to be a patient squad, you basically just dust up the remaining damaged people, or even just throw a gas grenade because they are usually severely health damaged and the only thing that protects them is their body shield they looted. Free win. Not like wins matter but still.

But as we heard earlier in this thread, this is wanted. Don't work hard, work smart. 🙂

Just to say 3rd party shuld  not be problem in beatle royal game. I meen it is whole point of game fight smart you dnt need to engage everyone. People are over agresiv in my opinion

aggressive, I woud call that dumb...

they are like dogs or a crazy animal that sees something to eat and runs just after it with no brain at all . It is just instinct, and the will to kill...

Had it already sometimes, where I thought: please don't engage, there is probably a 4th squad nearby, lets first see whats going on.

But noooo, brainshop is closed at that moment, and the rushing beginns...resistance is futile

I meen i get it. I also get trigger hapy and adrenalin pumped and get punised for it. Bit it is my fault not 3rd party fault.

Imo this game wuld be ruined if it wuld become just another shooter. 

same. i'm plat 3 and trying to climb to diamond but it is a nightmare. everyone in the lobby is so thirsty for rank point because the entry point is such a drastic loss which make third party is a must. Even at the rear of the first ring, one gunshot fired and suddenly the whole inner circle is already there turning the entire area into a meat grinder

3e 4e 5e party  it will always happen no matter what..   if you ask me they should add a legend that "knows" if enemy's are closing in..

And to balance it out,  give crypto's drone an auto function...   

Maybe drone auto follows?   Or when in the air it has an radius that if compromised it sets off an alarm?

 Crypto's drone has bad vision and emp isen't super effective....   so adding this to the drone is amazing in my oppnion......

Third parties are great. They bring me my loot to me. Also stops me from searching 3/4 of the map to find someone. I can understand why some would dislike it but its one the main things i love about this game. Its either you spend 15 mins trying find people or have non stop action in the game. I prefer non stop action even if i do die at least i know i didnt just waste 15 mins trying find people which defeats the purpose of a fps.
