I constantly take damage or die at least once a game due to taking damage when I'm behind cover or after I've closed a door. Sometimes the time gap between being behind cover and still taking damage is cartoonishly long. This game is so irritating due to the base gameplay being fun, but fundamentals such as hitreg, hitboxes, and latency being the worst out of any shooter or br on the market.
Yeah it's one of many in this game. It's so annoying that fixing and finishing games post launch is the industry standard now. You and I are play testing Apex for free and Respawn has the gall to sell us 20 dollar skins while we do it. I'm going to take a break from this game until the content and fixes - that should have been in the game at launch - are finally added into the game.
I knew someone would pop in and shill for Respawn and EA. The game is funded through battle passes and skins. Development stagnates if EA sees that it isn't generating revenue. The game is not free (and the game doesn't exist) if the user base stops paying for these things. Like I said, I am taking a break, as it isn't fun to play test an unfinished game for devs while paying for its continued existence at the same time.
Definitely a combination of ping and netcode, you see it in a lot of games unfortunately; You can fix something like this but it will most likely take a long time to do.
@AnlbrdI It would be messed up to complain about a free game, but since this game requires a percentage of its users to buy the battle passes and especially the cosmetics to maintain that free status, it isn't actually free. The battle pass isn't even what keeps the game free, as its main job is to maintain a healthy player count, attract new players, and, most importantly, introduce more cosmetics into the shop. It's the skins and cosmetics that generate the revenue, and if If people stopped buying skins and cosmetics EA would either axe this game or change it into a pay to win scheme. Charging 20 dollars to fans of the game is typical EA greed, and having us QA test it as well because they didn't want to wait for it to be ready for launch and miss the BR bubble is what is "galling" about it.
