Hey everyone, it's ya boi, Cheeseman. Here is a glimpse of the patch notes given to the press. This is not the complete patch notes and the info on the map update is on EA_David's thread. The full official patch notes will be posted on this forum (probably by a community manager).This is a breakdown of 2 articles released to the media/press so you wouldn't have to read them both. Links at the bottom if you want to read all of it.Not in any particular order:Volt placed in the carepackage. Damage increased from 15 to 17 and mag size increased to 28.Alternator out of the CPFlatline and Longbow will be exclusive in the replicator (that replicator thread jinxed it). Probably the biggest disappointment so far. Kinetic Feeder (Kinetic Loader) Hop-up: Coming for Peacekeeper and Triple Take "This hop-up will slowly reload the magazine while you slide. While its effect is active, it will also vastly increase the choke time on these weapons"Hammerpoint rounds are back AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE RE-45. Okay this is insane!Shattercap rounds: These also receive power, and automatically switch between rifle and long range modes depending on what you’re shooting at. The way I understood this one is that the shattercap hop-up will gett the TT and PK precision choke treatment. If you ADS, it's a single bullet, then if you hipfire the 30-30 it will be on shotgun mode.Caustic getting new nerf, "Gas traps will now continue to be destructible even once they’ve been triggered, allowing players to remove their impact prematurely with a well-placed shot." They hate gas daddy so much! Triple take damage nerf from 23 to 21 per bullet (goodbye 69 damage).MAP ROTATION: KC, Olympus and SP.

I don’t even play Caustic and I don’t think he’s deserving of a nerf. Makes no sense. Also new hop up seems almost as situational as QuickDraw. I don’t see myself really using it at all. Volt in the package also not what I expected…I think map changes are good and Control was needed but weapon meta will be interesting to say the least. Especially with hammer point 45 which I have to admit I’m excited to try lol

Early S12 Patch Notes

Hey everyone, it's ya boi, Cheeseman. Here is a glimpse of the patch notes given to the press. This is not the complete patch notes and the info on the map update is on EA_David's thread. The full official patch notes will be posted on this forum (probably by a community manager).

This is a breakdown of 2 articles released to the media/press so you wouldn't have to read them both. Links at the bottom if you want to read all of it.

Not in any particular order:

Volt placed in the carepackage. Damage increased from 15 to 17 and mag size increased to 28.
Alternator out of the CP
Flatline and Longbow will be exclusive in the replicator (that replicator thread jinxed it). Probably the biggest disappointment so far.
Kinetic Feeder (Kinetic Loader) Hop-up: Coming for Peacekeeper and Triple Take "This hop-up will slowly reload the magazine while you slide. While its effect is active, it will also vastly increase the choke time on these weapons"
Hammerpoint rounds are back AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE RE-45. Okay this is insane!
Shattercap rounds: These also receive power, and automatically switch between rifle and long range modes depending on what you’re shooting at. The way I understood this one is that the shattercap hop-up will gett the TT and PK precision choke treatment. If you ADS, it's a single bullet, then if you hipfire the 30-30 it will be on shotgun mode.

Triple take damage nerf from 23 to 21 per bullet (goodbye 69 damage).
MAP ROTATION: KC, Olympus and SP. WE vaulted.

CRYPTO REWORK/BUFF

By holding tactical, Crypto can now toss his drone out to gain info without settling down. If he decides to fly his drone direct, the UI will now give him more data on his own health, team and game status, ensuring you're not sacrificing information while scouting.

1 hour before hell breaks loose. Will definitely be juicy. Respawn also uploaded a video. Will most likely be the battlepass trailer since Maggie was featured in the gameplay trailer already.
Okay my bad. LMAO. It will be up on 10am PT/6pm GMT/3am JST

@hayhor Oh, no, my friend. I'm sorry. Full rant mode on.
I think things have been so dissatisfying for me for this game for so long, I've fermented some marathon, long duration level spite. 🙂

@KelRiever I've been in your spot with games. Best thing to do is a clean break. It isn't worth the misery.

@hayhor Nah, I know when it's over. I mean, I've quit games before. I, and I don't recommend this but, can enjoy myself if I have my avenues of revenge. It's built in and I'm quite happy that way.
Apex is not great, but it benefits from a pile of garbage surrounding it. It's like the least stinky of it's kind, like the least smelly dog that won't come out of the rain.
Respawn is bad at what they do, to be clear. But I've learned, cause I'm old, to wring the spine out of a game if I'm playing it. The issue is other people might not like what I do, but frankly, that's really not my problem. When the game gets better, if it gets better, I'll play better. But I'll leave when my own little revenge plots (which actually, and sadly, make the game better for me and my team mates, despite themselves), don't entertain me anymore.
What I DO recommend for everyone is remember that it's Apex's job to entertain us, not the other way around. I owe them nothing, and no one does here either. So, I can tell you, here's how my games go:

1. Rarely, there is a great game. That is because of the gambling punching pigeon design of Battle Royale freemium buy steff games.
2. Sometimes, games are just not entertaining, and that's because this game isn't great, and the opportunities aren't there to entertain regardless.
3. Most times, the game gets boring IF you don't make fun inside of it. And that's when you have to play the game that was designed, not the way the game would like you to think it plays.
And I've explained that a lot. You have to be a Machiavellian, selfish (somewhat), realist and in that regard, Respawn just really has no idea what they've made as a game. It's okay, I'm having fun.
That's all I'll say about it on this thread. But remember, this is not a moral lesson. This is a game. You don't question the ethics of your nerf football, and you shouldn't make Apex Legends any higher as a standard.
Wring its spine, if it makes you feel good. It's a video game 🙂

Patch notes are here. Not sure if a community manager will make a thread though.
