@SinShadow9 I play hyper aggressive and can't stand camping or sniping personally. I used to think it was fast but as @EryxApex said, the meta slows it down, prioritisation of placement over kills, along with map/ability changes with more cautious use of them. Try hyperscape for an evening (i did last night) as it's night and day.
@DarthValtrex Abilities i'm fine with. I don't think it needs drastic changes but there are some obvious examples you provided that could be reduced or cut as there is absolutely no need. Kill leader being a prime one.
If it's resource intensive for servers to calculate, simulate? Not tech savy in this but i'm sure others here are if they want to clarify or expand on it. Then reduce the load and/or do things more efficiently. Less teams in smaller maps? I don't know. Having silent footsteps, abilities, ziplines, gunfire or anything else where audio cues can mean getting the w or not should have higher prioritisation over unnecessary clutter, imo. Quality over quantity which is something we don't appear to be getting and could really make this game stand out if given some tlc.
@apostolateofDOOMSame for me in the tech savvy part. I’m sure there are latency issues with audio, just like there are occasionally latency issues with animations/hit boxes.
While audio might not seem complex, everything ties together in a video game. This particular game has a ton of unique code and audio. You have individual legends all with unique code for hit box size, movement, abilities, damage taken and audio. They even have different sounding food steps. Coding in itself is a tedious process, just one tiny mistake in the code can mean endless issues. Finding the mistake or problem can often be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It’s much simpler in a Battlefield or COD type game. Everyone is the same size everyone basically has the same audio, same abilities and so on. There is much less variation, less variation means fewer things can go wrong. When things do go wrong it’s easier to troubleshoot and fix.
I’ve always been impressed by how much variation Respawn has been able to provide in apex. If you really think about it, it’s truly amazing.
"There is a lot to the audio issues that everyone complains about it. Could it improve? Probably, yes"
There is no probably about it lol, the audio is garbage, it could certainly improve.
@DarthValtrex Some of those needles need finding and a search should be well underway by now. I understand it's complex but that's the way they made it and their job. If you have a PC problem for example, you'll have to troubleshoot connections, hardware, software, strip that sucker down, give it a good clean, bang stuff around to make sure no screws or anything is loose then address the issue and i think this game desperately needs it. While appreciating prioritisation and limited resources, this analogy will fit most things made, be it a car, plane, games, software or w/e. I understand a balance should be found so if they need to put a band aid on something it's better than nothing but they are off that mark from mine and friends experience, online like forum, twitter, reddit ect. Clearly a big problem that's only getting worse each update and more likely to do so more when this new studio opens with people who didn't make Apex add their own code i imagine.
Yes it's great and they did a good job but devs don't visit for praise so i just add my criticism to hopefully feed through and make it better. 😛
@Koochi-Q I had a few matches, on average broke pretty even and died more than i'd like to admit but after watching some vids and understanding abilities and strats better now i'll give it another crack tonight or tomorrow. We'll see but was loving the pace though.
@MandatoryIDtag Welcome to the dark side! 👿I just played for the campaign and to release my inner Slayer when i get bloodlust which it's great for and didn't play multiplayer as it looked like a quick mess around more than something i could sink into. Heck, i was so captivated by the slaughter it was only recently i found out all DOOM games had lore. 😳
