Suggestion for Apex Legends to reduce third partying,the biggest problem in game

@InfernalNuggetpart of what makes apex, apex.

If third partying is an issue, maybe some your gun fights are lasting longer than they need to.

Today I was having a very stale sniper shoot out with an enemy team and I decided we back off and come back later. We did just that and found them fighting off 2 other teams and got the chance to 4th party all of them.

Point is, if you can get your tactical back twice, you should probably pull back and wait on another team to fight them so you can assure a win.

I know about stuff you can do, the point is when I play with a friend and we run towards every gunfight we mop the floor with everyone and win game after game, I'm not a noob, and usually gunfights don't last too long, but every time they do, which does happen sometimes, u just get nade spammed, shot at while you heal or loot if you won. which isn't very rewarding after killing 3-4 teams, I truly believe this is the thing that will end up killing this game if no actions are taken against it. I feel like in all other aspects the game is a freaking masterpiece.

And u can't say it's part of what makes apex apex, it is the way it is because it is the way it is, that's what you said, yes, can't argue with that. But it doesn't mean it can't be improved upon.

Do you all ever drag other players into getting third partied by steering them into a larger battle (or where you know another player is lurking)? There's times when you're fighting and know you'll likely not make it out alive, so you do JUST enough damage to scurry away.

Almost got third partied at lunch but decided to head inside a building, close the door, and watch through the slit in the door. Quite comical.

"You all have fun now." 🙂

100% , these 3rd parties making me not want to play this game,  because its rewarding people doing it , so more and more people are doing it and purposely sitting back and waiting for that 3rd party . It's a joke

@iBlockHead people like you is the problem 

The fact that people even came up with a term for this is laughable to me.

When we played Mechwarrior, you'd have some people take armor off their legs and then call people "cheap" when you shot their legs and crippled their movement speed, making them easy targets. There's a REASON why you CAN put armor on your legs; Calling someone names or saying they're dishonorable for shooting you in the legs is laughably untactical.

Same deal with third parties. It's a valid battlefield tactic. You strike when the enemy is weakest to maximize your strengths. Giving it a negative connotation does not belittle its value. It's not like you can't do it to someone else.

I've never been all that bothered by 3rd parties. Doing or being 3rd partied. It's not always easy to time and the smarter squads know when to push and when to poke. 

It sounds like the OP doesn't know when to do these things; as do all people who complain it ruins the game. 

Here's my suggestion. Play every fight as though you will get 3rd partied. You will plan better that way and do better as a result. Pretending like every encounter will be respected by third parties is what 3rd party-ers prey on. Its naive to pretend you won't get ambushed when its the least opportune moment for you. 

Keep in mind, those gunshots help keep the gun fights going. Be careful what you wish for.  If you can't hear gun fights from far away, it's more likely you'll have some boring gameplay because no one will be able to find the party.
