OLED burn in/image retention due to HUD. Busy HUD
Hello, Those of us with OLEDs displays and playing this game a lot are starting to get burn-in, or more appropriately named, image retention. It is specifically the squads remaining HUD element on the top right. It is pure white and black (pixels fully white/bright and pixels black/off) and is very similar through out the match. I have heard Plasma displays also having the issue. I actually don't want to play as much simply because of the image retention. It is lasting now even days after my last binge of playing Apex. Can there be more HUD options for opacity to certain elements? I came up with the following after trying to think on this for a while, both for burn in, as well has HUD clutter/focus: HUD - You have 2 main opacity sliders, one for "active" elements, say 90-100% default, and one for "inactive" elements, say 50% or 75% default. If an element, say your health or squads left counter, has not changed in the last 5 seconds, it will dim to the value you set for "inactive" elements. AR - I would also like to suggest second set of opacity sliders for AR elements (pings, waypoint pings, revive/recover, etc), specifically, that are near your crosshair. You would have the option of how wide the radius around your crosshair is which acts as the threshold for when AR/elements dim. And like the HUD, there are two opacity sliders. In this case, one opacity slider for AR elements outside this radius, another slider for AR elements inside the crosshair radius. Primarily, this gives the player the freedom to style how they want information presented and balance it against their ability to see the actual world/enemies/etc. Also, people like me who have displays that can suffer from image retention can help prevent any image retention. Thanks!
This game is awful
I’ve played this game for a long time and it just keeps getting worse!! Everything is terrible, the audio is still complete **bleep** garbage, ping rate is so god **bleep** bad I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been shot and killed well behind cover or literally watched a sniper round go through an opponent and do absolutely nothing because we’re playing two different games at two different times and apparently I don’t have good enough internet to play in the **bleep** future like everyone else. FIX THIS **bleep** GAME!!
QOL Improvements
- Ping volume slider in Audio Settings. - Ability to mute character voice lines w/o muting your own in Audio Settings. Note: I think, by default, the ping system is great. The character voice lines are great. Although, some players might enjoy having control over "unnecessary audio". Personally, I have really sensitive ears and I have to mute pings most games. I can't take it. I'm serious, that ping sound is horrific when spammed. Then add the voice lines on top of that and try to listen for enemy audio cues at the same time, which is tough. - Remove Ranked splits - Better Ranked rewards. - Apex Legends Predator Tournament Invitational (Online) Note: More details can be found in my previous posts. Nobody is watching streamers play Ranked anymore, as before. If EA/Respawn don't throw the top performers a big juicy T-Bone Steak to fight over nobody will ever watch streamers play Ranked, as before. The only thing I can think of is what's on the screen, a gun (that has a predator themed skin). The #1 Apex Predator deserves the equivalent of an exotic/mythic one-of-kind skin. That's the only thing that will immediately catch those players' attention. From there the Top 10 a legendary skin, Top 100 an epic skin, Top 750 a rare skin. Spectators want to see more tournaments and Ranked is in a perfect position to support end of season tourneys. Call of Duty used to have WSOW (World Series of Warzone) lobbies where players would qualify for competitive tournaments. It's possible. Arenas 2.0 - In-game Scoreboard (Apex is the only BR and shooter w/o an in-game scoreboard) - Lore/storytelling, better marketing/trailers, and hype for the game overall.Wall running/solo royal
What will make apex legends better? Wall running and solo ranked. we as the apex community will love wall running, everyone loves wall running, for some reason when you add wall running everyone eyes get locked in on the game plus gameplay runs better. I can say I played apex since season 2, put your egos aside and add wall running or at least add it as game mode but DO NOT MAKE A LEGEND WITH THAT ABILITY, that will take the purpose out of it. I guaranteed you guys will bring more of the apex community back, besides Black ops 7 is coming out soon with battle royal, theres a chance you can benefit from that. You guys have a chance to add some key favorites thats gonna get apex back on top of the gaming community. You know everyone wants Titain fall 3, yall just gonna add wall running and boom you got the gaming community on lock. Then Solo royal is self explanatory. There’s way more benefits if you add that, [edit: email address removed]Apex on Switch 2....
...is great!!! I bought my 16 yr old stepdaughter the Switch 2 and my 9 yr old daughter the Nex Playground console for Christmas. We love games in my household. Apex on Switch 2 has a massive upgrade graphically. I was able to make Diamond rank on the Switch years ago. After I max the battlepass out on my PS5 I'm going to play on the Switch 2 for awhile. I should be able to make Platinum rank this time since Ranked is harder. Playing on the Switch 2 is still tough, but playing mobile is so much fun. Great job.Ping Spam/Abuse
Hello, I've made several posts about this issue for years. Here I go again, for the last time. The ping system is great, but most players don't use the ping wheel to communicate correctly. Additionally, ping spamming contributes to audio clutter. For example, my teammate gets knocked and spams ping making it harder to hear enemies because of the ping sound and character voice lines. Most games I mute pings which prevents being able to see the "visual pings". I play Crypto sometimes and I used to have a hard time finding my teammates banner because their deathbox wasn't visible when muting pings. I was so glad when the devs fixed this issue. Now if I mute pings I can find my teammates banner easily without disrupting my gameplay. More changes are still needed to promote a "relaxed" gaming experience. Also, when I mute pings sometimes I'll pick up an item not realizing my teammate called dibs. This results in my teammates hitting and shooting at me until I drop the specified item. Muting pings is an option in the game, so I use it. Although, muting the ping sound shouldn't disable the entire ping system. I should still be able to see the "visual ping". Years ago, players in the community decided that the best solution is to add a "Ping Volume Slider" to have more control over the sound. Personally, I don't want to hear the ping sound and the accompanying character voice line. It contributes to unnecessary audio clutter and frantic gameplay. FYI - Sometimes I mute everything: music, pings, character voice lines. When muting character voice lines, it prevents being able to hear your own character. Just add a volume slider for pings and give players an option to mute other players character voice lines without muting their own. Simple QOL stuff.
