Because, and hear me out, third partying is not a thing?
So, there are games without third partying and they are called things like Halo and have two side team games. Or Fortnite, when playing 2 side team mode.
Battle Royals, however, are made exactly for this. They are not hallways with people looking at each other from either side. They are not March Madness bracket games where you fight 1 team, then get a little rest, then fight another team. They are bug, stupid free for all’s. There is 3rd partying and 4th partying and 5th partying....maybe, 1 day in Kings Canyon or WE Fragment, everybody will drop on each other and there will finally be 20th partying.
Not to say you should like it but you’re going to have to look for a game with 2 sides. Otherwise, enjoy it like a bunch of the rest of us do. And when you hear the long range sound of pew pew guns firing, mount up and ride.

And on the dawn fragment will share the fate of skull town and piece will reign through out the land once again... until the disaster of third party valley on Olympus rears it ugly head

No one likes third partying. And some people try to do something about this issue that no one likes and...well others just sit here and take it.
I mean question for you: what exactly would be the problem for you with 3rd partying being reduced? The only reason why you're arguing against anti-3rd partying-measures so much is because 90% of your kills come from killing enemies that are 1HP. That's the only reason I can imagine. Otherwise there is literally nothing that speaks against it cause "dUdE iT's a bR tHAt'S hOW tHeY WoRK" ain't an argument.- 5 years ago
@Zero-Loot5 I'm just highly cynical about anti 3rd party protesters for one reason and one reason alone. I know for a fact they also do it.
As a s1 player, never once can I say I've seen a squad sit and wait for a fight to end, the surviving team to heal and then engage. Why? Because the point is to be the last team standing it would simply be bad strategy to do so.
I third party, and I get third partied, it's the natural cycle of thing. As others have pointed out if people want to fight squad vs squad arena is the perfect place for them.
As for "top streamers" complaining about third partying, it was they who promoted 3rd partying on a large scale, so to complain now is somewhat hypocritical lol.
That being said I'm all for quieter gunfire simply because the sheer amount of audio clutter on apex is next level.
- 5 years ago@MandatoryIDtag That is not, what @Bean2kay9 wants to address tho.
There are different types of third parties. There are people who actually just wait for fights to happen so that they can then third party cause that's the only way they can make some kills and there are coincidental 3rd parties that just happen when you rund around the map and hear gunshots.
Cause sure: This is a shooter. I want gunfights with enemies. So when me and my team run around the map in search for enemies and then we hear shot, sure then we say "Uhh they're fighting. Let's go there". Cause that's the point of the game. But that doesn't mean that we WANT to 3rd party. It's just that when we hear a fight we want to engage as well instead of just running around.
But that doesn't make these 3rd parties any less frustrating for the people on the receiving end. And what Bean criticizes is the fact that "coincidental third parties" as I am calling them happen so easily because - as he/she rightfully notices - you can hear gunshots across the whole map. They are bound to happen cause the point of a shooter is to shoot people and because gunshots are audible from miles away people get drawn to them from miles away when the "actual" fight is still going. Reducing the range for gunshots would help and here as well I don't think it would hurt anyone except for camping bots who can literally only make kills by 3rd partying.
And personally I also don't get much joy or feeling of accomplishment when I kill someone who has 30HP. Sure I have my kill so nice, statistical improvement. But I personally care more about the challenge of actually being good. I know, *some* people here have a different approach but personally that's how I feel. An "honorable" fight in which my team wins cause we are better is what is most rewarding and not some "Hehehe I'm camping here and hit you with one G7 shot from 200m and get the kill" kind of camping stuff.
Also also Arenas is not really an alternative cause right now the kills, wins and damage records you get there are absolutely worthless. BR kills, wins and damage records can be shown off with trackers. But no matter what you achieve in Arenas: it's completely worthless. No Badge. No tracker.
