Toxic Player Base

I've only been playing Apex for a few weeks, but I uninstalled it last night. The last 2 days, basically since the word spread about the hitbox discrepancies and other related bugs, I've been insulted, abandoned, and just generally loathed for maining Gibraltar. I like this game, but it's pulled in the most toxic elements from player bases from other similar games and concentrated them into one area. I'd love to keep playing this until I'm better at it, but it's not worth the abuse and being a team based game, getting abandoned 75% of the time after I choose Gibraltar isn't conducive to actually learning the game. I've been gaming since the Atari 800 and I don't ever plan on stopping. I think you have a great thing here and I sincerely hop that you clean it up so that I can come back to it at some point. Best of luck.

  • Are you referring to the persona of the champions.  they are purity toxic and snarky.  That Mirage is a *, always showboating and gloating.  All the champions are toxic.  even Gibraltar says some toxic stuff stuff brotha.  

  • Gibraltar's dome shield is good for certain situations and a good Gibraltar player knows what those are. reviving a teammate while under long distance fire is a great time to use it. Also works well if a team is pushing up on you drop your ult right on top of your squad, put up a dome and heal up while the enemy can't approach. Any enemy foolish enough to push through your ult to get to your dome will be put down with a single shot because his ult does huge damage. 

    As for his shield coming up when aiming.....just press H and it goes away. reactivate it when you are actively engaged in a fight. 

    he has hitbox issues yes but that is his body hitbox not his head and if you hit headshots you will beat the enemies body shots every time.

    Iv'e actually never had a player leave or be "toxic" for me or someone else choosing

    a certain legend.

    I have seen people be rude and "toxic" for a player that has low kills on that

    particular legend.

    But just because I have yet to come across someone like that

    doesn't mean there not there.

    My advice to you is too just keep playing man,

    if you get lucky and find two players that are awesome

    add them through Origin and try to just squad with them

    most of the time.

    Wow, I have been playing since Atari and I hope you don’t have children because yes this world is crap and people are crap but the toxicity and selfish behavior can be controlled. Consequence to ego centric behavior and this is a TEAM game and team elements need to be reinforced. I can’t believe the negativity and ignorance so people display.....

    @MrPink77777 

    It's all me centric now with gamers, "I want this"  "this is mine" "I have this many" when It used to be about how you could do something and someone would help you then you would try it with their help or you’d practice and show others as considerably harder games were made they required skill.

     

    but now it's all about who unlocked a wedding dress and how and where to get a hack subscription whilst pretending to be skilled at something, Or the domineering types that scream REEEEEEE into their mic because you won’t hold their hand to cross the road outside bunker.

    @MrFriskles Prove them wrong and make them eat their words. If you have been playing since games since Atari (you haven't) its time to grow up big boy, maybe this is your golden opportunity.

    Who are you to tell this person they haven't been playing since the Atari?  I have and beyond that?  You're going to try and discredit and belittle me to?

    Sounds to me you are part of the same problem. Many people on this forum are.

    Don't bother replying I'm sure you'll come up with something 'witty' to berate me also.  I'm not subscribing to this post.

    EA has killed the COMMUNITY and most of the fun element in BF5 and Apex, that is the issue!


    Don't agree with this at all.

    Almost all of the Rando's on BFV that are on coms are chill people.

    BF generally has always had a more mature playerbase because the game itself does not encourage toxic play styles and behavior.

    I'm in that boat aswell, I remember what it was like before mobile phones and the only bottled water you could buy was soda and the most exciting thing was cassette tapes and VHS rentals comodore computers and messing with phone system codes on payphones.
