Re: Pc players in console mixtape lobbies

@JackvonripperYou mean lobbies like this?

🤪🤪🤡 (I'm btw the Wraith)

Yeah, we know. It's just Respawn trying to kill off Apex.

  • it's not been that bad, I've had half PC and half Consoles. Man that sucks. the weird thing is it only happens in gun run. not control, not team deathmatch, just gun run is where I've seen this happening in a lot.

    I have had it it in control, where i had two pc players on my team who were grouped up, i was on PS4 and we just dominated while doing control, it's not bad if it's evenly split, but when it's one sided then i can see the issue, so maybe it just needs to be balanced somehow.

    Newest hack? Get killed by a PC and get stuck on infinite respawning screen for the rest of the game. 🤡 Remove leaver penalty!!!

    Probably a test to check the waters how much backlash there will be if consoleplayers can’t leave crossplay anymore 🙂 

    the peak playerbase on steam dropped by almost 250k compared to last month, the playerbase is dropping faster than ever before. Just prepare yourself boys welcome to crossplay 🙂

    @matzesingt Curious what data you are looking at? The charts I'm looking at look like normal drop relative to the time of year. Apex always peaks early in the year and drops throughout, but drops the most when the US and Europe hit summer seasons. I am curious to see if the drop is worse this year due to the ranked system change.
  • @hayhorI generally look at steamcharts.

    If I compare 2022 to 2023it looks like this:

    May 2022 peak 411k
    June 2022 peak 352k

    To

    May 2023 peak 584k
    Last 24h peak 369k

    I cannot check the exact number right now on my phone, for last weekend wich would be the fairest comparison I would say. But according to the graph it didn’t look much better on the weekend.

    And yea I think main reason for the massive dropoff is the ranked system. Literrly every single one of my friends stopped playing apex because of ranked

    @matzesingtOh, I am there right now. afc as my Xbox teammate's Xbox broke or whatever, and one team got a PC but the rest of us didn't get one. Otherwise, when I get the PC it's really fun as I get to rip on them all game long. Like yesterday when I had this loser playing Caustic in TDM, he had like 24 kills or whatever. I'd just jump around him and ping enemies all game, while ripping on him and about his cheats. Very funny.

  • @CCbathwater Next time this happens, press L2 and select your legend again. Not sure if this is a hack or bug, but selecting the legend fixed it for me. (Only to be spawned right in front of an enemy :D )

    You leave for two weeks. That should give them ample time to remove the PC people from the game, fix spawn failure, and remove health regen and put shield regen back in. Nope. Not even one of those three things have been fixed. 🤡

    Oh, and leaver penalty still there, even when you have PC people in your lobby. 🤡

    I think I had one of those account lvl'ing bots. A Maggie who would just stay still all game but turn 90-180 degrees every now and then for the entirety of the game. It's like they were having a meeting at Respawn: "How can we make console lobbies as awful as PC lobbies? I know!..."

    Bro! Which server is the magic one? I've tried every EU server now. I've only had one game where it wasn't riddled with PC kids! Don't even know why I'm still trying, it's a waste of time sitting afc for 11 games now. Guess I'll try Virginia, though it's early morning there, but had great luck with proper lobbies there yesterday.

    Oh, and remove leaver penalty!

    @matzesingt You are forgetting that apex population always drops like this at the launch of a new big-name game. Diablo 4 just launching is why you see those numbers differ so much. Same as any other big game that comes out and takes apex players who eventually return once bored with their new game.
  • I'm quite sure this is an official change rather than a bug. They have not provided any explanation for it, which is infuriating.

    SO AGAIN. Why did Respawn make this change secretly without informing us? If they don't make a statement about this, I will bump this thread daily on the forums.

    @M4ssacres Prolly the same reason they removed our way to opt out of cross-play. We was given no reason as to why it was removed. Instead we are forced to play against consoles every match. So for that reason i honestly dont feel bad about it. =P
  • @E9ine_AC I'm wondering if Battle Royale will have this terrible issue or if it's isolated to the Mixtape?

    Well, if crossplay is so good they should put them in BR too, especially in ranked. BR was already unplayable, so why destroy Mixtape, in more ways than just adding cheating PC kids btw, which was the only fun in this game? I have never seen a developer so giddy on killing their own game. They must get a golden handshake or something if they run it into the ground.
