Game not fit for purpose
Finally remembered why not to come back to this. Getting gunned down immediately whilst enemies absorb 5 full magazines. Getting erased immediately from sniper range by non recoil ARs. I even kille...

UNPLAYABLE GAME
I would like to know why ea have chosen to do this. Completely unacceptable
@1ronKeys My bullets are literally going through opponents. Through them
No damage.
Or emptying full magazines twice into opponents still standing.
Downed in one or two hits constantly.
Tumbleweed Arts remain silent.

they no longer care long as players buy the * reskins back to overwatch for me, least bliz know how to make a game work
- @Wid0w_kiss Same just deleted it.
Not had a single game last more than 2 minutes.
Empty 2 whole magazines into enemy doesn't down them.
Bullets going thru players.
Get downed in 2 bullets from ANY weapon.
EA just taking the p*** at this point - @1ronKeys I mean what you see and what your opponent sees is significantly different. Could be an issue on your end, theirs or the server itself. You can do a few things to ensure it isn't you. Resetting your router/modem. When going into the game, pick a different server. Sometimes even higher ping might play better for you.
i highly doubt its sync issues on my end, they would show in other games too and also with the ingame network icons and networks stats (no sync icon showing, no loss nor choke).
My suspicion is a high rate of "out of region players" that shift the delag delta in their favor.
The more high ping players on a server antilag has to work "overtime" and most antilag routines are made in favor of the high ping player, otherwise they would miss the point.
That paired with overbooked servers (you can tell by the magically declining ping when a huge chunk of teams died).
So server might drop packets/ dont process them if its under heavy load, most likely from lowping players bcs they update faster ... but with Apex having that "20 tick multiple shots in one packet" netcode ... might be likely a reason.
Als if my connection would loose packets, there would be the infamous rubberbanding, bcs the server would try to set me back to the last known position.- @1ronKeys You obviously have an aiming problem where you seem to think that aiming on target then shooting is enough to hit them. Nope the enemy is a moving target the time it takes for your trigger and bullet to travel is enough to miss a moving target.
Go in the firing range and set the dolls as moving you will need that training.
Look at pros... when there is a distance between them and the enemy they shoot a little in front of him so that his movement and bullet travel time can result in a hit. Pros are live right now in ALGS.
We need to see the videos of you not downing opponent with 3 mags we could then easily point to your problems. If you don't down them with 1 mag it means you miss a lot of shots!! If the problem was the game then pros would miss too. The problem is obviously you who miscalculate how to hit a moving target. - @Palette24carats No, I do not have this issue; as expressed. Usually I have been wiping and slapping enemies.
And similarly, as others have experienced, there have been times when enemies are being downed almost immediately half a mag of an smg or weaker when full shields.
This has nothing to do with aim (or very very little) as I'm quite aware when I'm shooting poorly - in those cases I get annoyed, but at myself.
In times when I'm point blank drilling a whole magazine into a stationary opponent then continue to riddle them with another mag or two before getting downed after two hits - with this happening I know something is amiss (and it's not my shots) - as expressed I experienced this before in Battlefront (another EA title unsurprisingly) where I drilled a whole assault rifle magazine into the back of an enemies head - their health went down half way. Then completely stopped going down; yep hits and hit animations but their health bar did not reduce. And they then turned around and downed me in two shots.
Something entirely suspicious is going on there, whatever it is. Whether it's the game... eas servers... or whatever else. That behaviour is what I'm experiencing now.
I usually getting 3 - 6 kills a game pretty frequently. For the past week I've been getting 5 kills every 20 games.
White shield enemies aren't even getting downed with 3 rattlings of an r99 from close range.
I would love for it to be an issue with my aim; as it means there's something I can do about it. However. Its not. I'm hitting the shots. A new one as well now...
My player stops being able to run and only moves at walking speed fot 2 seconds then I get downed in 2 shots.
Don't try blaming my Internet my connection is fine. Everything in the world works...
Except...
Oh of course... EA Apex.
Same same nonsense with fifa. Same Same nonsense with Battlefront.
My Internet is fine. Maybe I don't spend enough money on the game have to buy more skins this ea encouragement.
Why am I getting downed BEFORE I've been shot.
Scam game. Absolute scam.
I assure you the problem is on your side as we dont have that problem but just a tiny minority of players.
Can I watch you play? Ill take a look at your twitch.
- @1ronKeys Its just you... every game means the issue is on your side.
- @Palette24carats I don't have twitch
- @1ronKeys it takes a minute to get an account you should do it. I created a twitch account for that single reason to be able to rewatch my plays to learn how I could improve and have a different views on the plays and think about what was best for me to do in those situations where it didnt go well. That is also a moment where I noticed I really needed to train my aim as I was missing way too many shots.
One of the most useful tool to improve is cast yourself on twitch. Also it is motivating to have a few wins saved to rewatch. - @Palette24carats Well my PlayStation failed to capture my win last night... my team members quit along the way and I held tight when down to 4 squads and pounced on the final team... one was downed, the other looting I downed with G7 and had to bridge the gap to a bocek wielding oppo Ash (I Ash too) and won with some clever manoeuvring and re45 work.
So does twitch just record your game? Concerned how it may impact performance re internet and console having to do extra work. - @Palette24carats Agree with the twitch idea. PS makes it really easy to save an hours worth of game play too.
- @1ronKeys Yes everything you send as live on twitch is recorded for up to 3 weeks I believe if you are not affiliate. Then you have the option to publish those live or not.
With those live recorded you can create highlight moments by croping video parts in Studio and then those will be recorded like forever on your twitch channel.
For performance it depends if you are ps4 or ps5. On ps4 you might lose like 5 fps and increase ping a tiny bit but it is playable the difference is not game changing I believe.
On ps5 you wont even see or feel a difference as we are still with the old gen version stuck at 60 fps. When at 120 hz tuesday we might lose a few fps but wont feel it at all as we will be way higher in fps . - @Palette24carats Thanks for the insight! I might consider that then - as that would provide a much better alternative than stuffing my ps drive full of clips and having the hassle of uploading.
As for the issues I'm having with the game, introducing any further ping does make me wary! - @1ronKeys Yeah but dont worry about it you can broadcast as little as you want lets say you broadcast for 1 hour and feel like you are having lag or bad games go back to no twitch anytime .
@Palette24caratsthen explain to me how i get mowed down by a not moving target me shooting first all on point and my opponent manages to one clip me before my mag is even half empty with literally the same weapon ?
This is clearly some stuff happening on the server netcode, i wont say its on intention, since i cant prove it.
But clearly some bug that penalizes players in favor of others, bcs my connection is fine.
Pingplotter tests tell me my connection to the gameserver is fine (6to50ms max depending where i get send to), no loss, no late packets no huge jitter (around 4ms mostly) , performance display ingame also tells no weird stuff happening. This leaves only one conclusion , the gameserver doing some wild magic ... but devs will brush it off as a clients internet problem ... bcs their code is "unfailable" nor has it some nefarious lines included.- @r1ggedgame Nope, headshots. Its all in the kill feed and it also depends on the gun's firerate. An re45 will beat a rampage by speed but a rampage can beat an re45 with headshots
