Re: Legacy 1st Impressions

Well, I played a few games during the Season 0 LTM last night. Arenas - I don't think I'll be bothering as the maps are just too large. For me, an arena mode should be like TDM on Overwatch, for example. Maybe that what was they were thinking when trying out the 'respawn' mechanics in the War Games botch up. Arena modes should be like constant hot drops. The mode is basically just like any 3 v 3 battle on BR without third parties and is actually pretty boring.

Starting with a new load out each round is stupid beyond belief (even though you get more to spend). Again, arena modes should reward your successes. In Paladins you get credits on the fly which you can then spend in one of twelve ways in order to enhance your abilities. Of course, the better you do, the more credits you get. That rewards both aggressive and smart play.

I picked up a Bocek and fired an arrow at a stationery Pathy and it didn't do a thing even though my aim was spot on. I think there were major hit reg issues last night too with the server problems. In one game me and Bang (I was also Bang) got in a LMG fight inside an Olympus pod that took so long it was comical. We were both blasting away, but little damage was being created. I played one game this morning and that seemed no longer to be an issue.

I can see S9 being the season I play Apex the least.

    @EdwardDLuffy I actually had 0 hit reg issues with the bow in the 2 or 3 games I played with it. They haven't created a kill category for it yet either so like with Rampart & Sheila, I don't know how many kills I'll have with it as a whole.

    Arenas is going to take some tweaking to get it right which def depends on if they'll take player feedback. But I was right. If you play with friends, you can win matches. Played it with a couple friends in different sessions & we got the win basically everytime. Now if only randoms could play like they had some sense lol.

    I also don't really like that they're splitting kill stats for arenas. Like any kills you get in there don't go towards your overall kill count for that legend. Cuz I got at least 8 kills in arena with Valk but my kill count is at 5 or 6 with her right now on the tracker.

    @Lord_Scorpion34There are seperate trackers for arena and br. As it should be. I think there should also be a way to setup an arenas banner and a br banner.

    Also my fear of valk being boba fett is over. She flies so slow she is incredibly easy to shoot down.

    @hayhorYeah. As I mentioned Back could out fly her lol. I get they didn't want her to be OP but Horizon can shoot at the top of her lift. I don't see why Valk can't shoot while hovering at least.

    But there should be a combined kill tracker.

    @Lord_Scorpion34 Her kit is supposed to be for getting away or taking high ground. If she could shoot as she flies she would be ridiculous. She is pretty well balanced right now I think.

    @hayhor But Horizon also can get high ground (granted not as high as Valk) while shooting. I didn't say flying she has a hover mode so I think shooting in hover should at least be available. Or take away shooting while in gravity from Horizon.

    @Lord_Scorpion34Yes Horizon can shoot at the top of her tactical. This is why they nerfed her to limit the time at the top of it.

    And remember the hovering or flying thing with valk is a passive. It isnt even a tactical.

    @hayhor Right but that shouldn't matter lol. They could still make her be able to shoot in hover mode if they wanted to.

    @Lord_Scorpion34It is a passive. And she has 3 passives already. How much more do you want? I'd argue it's ridiculous she can also scan enemies and use beacons. Who else has more than one passive? Some characters like pathfinder and caustic dont even have one decent exclusive passive anymore.

    @hayhor The scan is only when she's dropping tho so it's only useful to know if squads are dropping with you or in the area you're redeploying too. And it's not like it lasts very long like BH scan or the scan from Crypto's map room.

    I think they had to make her flight the passive because there's no other way to fit it into her kit. Couldn't make it a tactical cuz then what would you do with Northstar? I mean if they made her an attack character they could take away the scan.

    But I do agree Path needs something else to help him stand out. What would other passive would you suggest for him?

    @Lord_Scorpion34 They could have made her tactical flying while attacking and not even included the missiles. Think about how much better she would be then.
