@Cheese9Man Pros are right about gold knockdowns, i also would like to see them removed in ranked. As for heat shields they're fine, i don't think they ruin the game to somebody else. Ranked changes, well, it took them like 8 seasons to increase the kill cap by just one, so we'll have to wait a lot to any other major improvement in the RP system. My dream is to have like a season 10.5 update instead of season 11, where we do not get any new major content but instead we get lots of bug fixes and server improvements. Buy you know, this is just a dream lol.
- 4 years ago@Cro_Pittt Same here. I can’t suggest a better RP system in ranked but there’s definitely something off about the current system on how we get RP.
- Gabrielmojo264 years agoSeasoned Ace@Cheese9Man Oh god, I shared that tweet from Hal on reddit about needing a change for rank, and the replies had me baffled.
Most of them were saying, that allowing demotion in ranks, would entice higher level players to intentionally lose RP and derank to go farm lower ranks.
I am one to praise demotion, P4 and D4 are notorious when it comes to time spent within those tiers, and for obvious reasons. If not demotion, then pls change the RP system, make it less rewarding so that Gold players can't make the jump to P4 so damn easily, same with Plat to D4.- hayhor4 years agoHero@Gabrielmojo26 The problem with demotion is it would allows the same thing that happens in fifa- people self relegating themselves. The reason it cannot happen in apex is the game is team based. A bunch of self relegators would ruin other people's games. And yes I know the ones hard stuck do that now but it would probably be even worse.
The issue I have with ranked is allowed smurfs to jump right into it. And if you dont play ranked you can fall all the way back. Smurfs and high levels dropping back ruin the new player lobbies. In season 9 I only played like 20 or so games of ranked in bronze and silver and 75% of my killers had pred/masters badges or 4k/20 bombs. I cannot imagine how that feels for a new player.
- 4 years ago@Cro_Pittt How are pros right about the gold knockdowns? The post isn't listed, and I actually searched for Hal's post and didn't find it.
I'm with @RockDokRock and @CCbathwater - they are so very rarely ever a factor I'm not seeing what the big deal is about. They're rare to start with, they take forever to pull off, and the moment you pop it to prevent from being thirsted it's over.- 4 years ago
I don't care a bit about what the ALGS says, I also don't care about the way Respawn makes these decisions because they're going to make the wrong ones based on what keeps the game good.
Gold Knockdown shields even being an issue is just tops dumb. They're not that good so beef about removing them shows just how deluded ALGS is from regular people who play. At least gold shields leads to a couple of fun moments but I can count on that meaning that they'll be removed because less fun and not good = best to not have fun either then.
Heat shields nearly the same, but I could care even less about it. This game didn't have them at one point, and their absence won't fundamentally make the game any better.
What this game focuses on for fixing is so off. And that while sometimes it's good to move in small degrees with fixes so you don't blow it, sometimes you make mistakes so obvious (Seer) that the game is ruined long before you fix it if you insist on only always making changes in small degrees.
Again, Apex rules because right now there isn't a better alternative...that I know of, for a sci fi shooter. But like all the games prior, and all the games coming, that's a fleeting thing for a company that focuses on the wrong thing. I'm not waiting around for a decision on gold shields and heat shields I can tell you that. I'm looking at other stuff because of the real problems with this game that have continued here for a while.
