Title: Apex Legends: F2P three-person-team Battle Royale from Respawn
Post by: benjipwns on February 02, 2019, 04:17:22 PM
NO TITANS

Confirmed by Schreier:
Quote from: https://kotaku.com/a-free-to-play-titanfall-battle-royale-game-will-be-out-1832291956
The game isn’t officially announced just yet, but word leaked out this morning thanks to esports journalist Rod Breslau. As Breslau reported today, it’s called Apex Legends and will be out on Monday for PC, Xbox, and PS4. It’s a free-to-play battle royale that, interestingly, won’t let you use the Titan mech suits that make Titanfall so iconic. You’ll have supernatural MOBA-like hero abilities and play either solo or in a team of three as you battle other players for delicious chicken dinners.

We’ve heard all of those same details. A tipster sent me some info about Apex Legends early last month—“It plays like Titanfall mixed with Overwatch and Blackout from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4,” they told me at the time—and from what we’ve heard, publisher EA held an event for streamers and YouTubers this week to show off the game, which is likely how the news leaked.

Here’s another interesting tidbit: As I was reporting on EA’s purchase of Titanfall developer Respawn in the fall of 2017—a move that was forced by a Nexon bid for the studio and may have been directly connected to the closure of Visceral—I heard from a Respawn source that Titanfall 3 was well into development and that the studio had been looking to release it by the end of 2018. The rationale, that source said, was that the game’s underlying technology was starting to feel dated and that Titanfall 3 might not feel or look as good if it came out too much later. (Like the previous two Titanfall games, Titanfall 3 used a modified version of Valve’s Source engine.)

Perhaps the studio decided to switch engines for Titanfall 3, releasing Apex Legends (which is also reportedly on Source) as a stopgap as it pushed back the release of a proper third Titanfall game. Or perhaps the work Respawn had done for Titanfall 3 wound up evolving into this spinoff game. No matter what, the third Titanfall appears to be way down the road.

Expect Apex Legends to be announced very soon, perhaps tomorrow at the Super Bowl or on Monday as a not-so-much-of-a-surprise reveal. This will be the first of two games Respawn has planned for this year, in addition to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, which is slated to come out in the fall.

Quote from: ZhugeEX
I think it's worth waiting to see the game in action first.
Yes there are no Titans and things like wall riding are not in the current iteration of the game. But a lot of the features and core feel of Titanfall 2 is still there. There is elements of parkour in the game. I think the Edge editor is wrong to say there is 'no parkour'.
Game will be 60fps on consoles too.
The nod to R6S is primarily because of how the game has in depth characters that you can customise.
Also the game will have a tutorial mode to ease people in.
this deal keeps getting worse all the time if "wall riding" means "wall running"

Don't worry, WASD and the jump button work. The parkour you love is still there.

Crouching might be added later.

Sign up to EA access and be sure to get the grenade expansion when it launches March 2019.

Titanfall battle royale with no Titans, stealth released before BFV Battle Royale is out right before Anthem hits.

I want to have whatever EA's software planners are having.

Dated tech is the least of the series problems. If they're dropping Source (for Frostbite, naturally) that'd be hilarious since 1-2 were the most optimized EA games in a long while.

Probably will suck for Respawn having to figure out Titanfall's bunny hop/fast strafe movement all over again on Frosbite. Can't say the likes of Dice even have that engine in order.

I'll be happy if I can finally drag my friends away from the remarkably shitty PUBG. I don't really get the draw of BR, but Respawn has made the two best shooters I've played so maybe this will be good.

According to the design director, a single-digit handfull of the developers from the Titanfall team went over to work on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but it’s essentially an all-new team making that game. The core Titanfall team is working on Apex Legends and there are currently no other projects in development.
No Titanfall 3 bois  :fbm

Zampella & friends:

- Fucking tired of being exploited by Activision. LET'S BAIL.

- FUCK YES. Let's start a new studio and do whatever we want.

- Guys, actually, we're going with EA. Surely this will go better.

- OK SOUNDS GOOD BAWSS

- Look at dem Titans falling in our CoD spinoff.

- OK it tanked, but maybe we shouldn't have gone for Xbone exclusivity?

- TITANZ FALLING 2 BITCHES. ON ALL PLATFORMS THIS TIME.

- Tanked again? Fuck.

- What do now?

- Dunno.

- Me neither.

- Hey guys, the higher ups at EA are telling us that BR games are the shit right now. Totally not a crowded market already.

- Guys, we should totes release our own BR game. And make it F2P. And release it the day we announce it.

- THIS IS GENIUS.

Tanked again, because EA thought it was a good time to release it around 2 of the biggest FPS of that year.

It's a good series, but it's never going to be a CoD level game. It's too "weird". It's a Prog Rock album to CoD's pop album.

Don't know how this Apex thing will do though.

But holy fuck it's so goddamn awesome, so much better than pubg or realm royale or fortnite or all these other crap BR's

This is a well thought out product actually.

- Singeplayer campaigns won't be interesting until you can wow people with graphics so next gen
- You have all these assets ready to flip
- Overwatch and Fortnite are hot so why not combine the two
- Vince and Respawn know how to make games, like one of the few studios at EA still good at making games
- It is a nice way to push Origin and all the EA memberships and get some good PR for once


I just don't understand why didn't delay Anthem until May or something.  :doge

Me being all bitter about Titanfall aside, br games just fucking suck at core level. I'm sure it's a masterpiece of the genre, but what a fucking genre it is.  First match we drop in fucking nowhere and get shot by a camped up sniper. Next game, there is plenty of loot but just a bunch of secondary shit. My teammate manages to locate some rifle, I find a pistol. Sneak up on a guy and unload, but of course that's not enough. Then I get killed.

Seriously, this is like every game flaw wrapped up in a new and hot genre.

You can break that by left control (whatever on consoles lol). You can even solo jump. But the "ping" system basically WANTS you to play as a team. So... kinda hard pass for me.

Here are my unadulterated thoughts:

Loved Titanfall 1 mobility, abilities, maps, and Titan combat. Great multiplayer shooter, 9/10.

Loved Titanfall 2 single player, the co-op pve mode, hated almost everything about the multiplayer. Hated the maps and Titan combat especially. Huge steps back, reminded me of the jump from MW1 to MW2. 9/10 single player, 4/10 for multiplayer.

Apex Legends feels really fucking good to play, the map is designed incredibly well, great sound design plus great map design makes most of my deaths not feel cheap. Hero selection matters, as you get two abilities on a cooldown. One of those is a CoD styled score streak. Girbralter is a fucking beast. Bubble shoeld ability, with an airstrike as his special ability.

Apex Legends was released perfectly. For the amount of content available, free to play is the fair and right price. When it comes to polish and really solid, really fun design decisions, this shit is really, really good. 9/10 for enjoyment, and I wanna keep playing. I've played every big BR game, this is my favorite easily thus far.

I've only played one round, but so far I'm very impressed with it. I haven't played PUBG or Blackout before so I'm assuming this is taking some cues from those games. The gunplay feels very tight and I managed to get 8 kills and pull out the win in my first game, which was nice. I mainly play Fortnite and I noticed that the average skill level of players in Apex is way lower. This may have something to do with the building meta that Fortnite relies on, I kept trying to build a wall when I got shot at haha.

I'm definitely going to try and get some of my friends to give this a shot, so hopefully the player-base doesn't dwindle too quick.
Title: Re: Apex Legends: F2P three-team Battle Royale from Respawn
Post by: Stoney Mason on February 05, 2019, 01:48:16 AM
Yeah its solid. Whether it takes off is anyone's guess but I much prefer it over blackout. It feels like a more evolved version of one of these things. It has a lot of small but smart game design ideas that make it feel less cumbersome than these games generally feel.

I wish it still had the wall running stuff speed stuff of Titanfall but I'm fine with this as an alternative.

I’m definitely going to check it out when I have the time, it just seems like weird choices for a Titanfall spin-off.

Having dabbled with Source map making, and looking at even Valve's official maps in games like Team Fortress 2, I often marveled at Titanfall/Titanfall 2 maps, but this continues where I can't believe it's Source, I hope they sent their tools to Valve because holy shit.

The game isn’t officially announced just yet, but word leaked out this morning thanks to esports journalist Rod Breslau. As Breslau reported today, it’s called Apex Legends and will be out on Monday for PC, Xbox, and PS4. It’s a free-to-play battle royale that, interestingly, won’t let you use the Titan mech suits that make Titanfall so iconic. You’ll have supernatural MOBA-like hero abilities and play either solo or in a team of three as you battle other players for delicious chicken dinners.

We’ve heard all of those same details. A tipster sent me some info about Apex Legends early last month—“It plays like Titanfall mixed with Overwatch and Blackout from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4,” they told me at the time—and from what we’ve heard, publisher EA held an event for streamers and YouTubers this week to show off the game, which is likely how the news leaked.

Here’s another interesting tidbit: As I was reporting on EA’s purchase of Titanfall developer Respawn in the fall of 2017—a move that was forced by a Nexon bid for the studio and may have been directly connected to the closure of Visceral—I heard from a Respawn source that Titanfall 3 was well into development and that the studio had been looking to release it by the end of 2018. The rationale, that source said, was that the game’s underlying technology was starting to feel dated and that Titanfall 3 might not feel or look as good if it came out too much later. (Like the previous two Titanfall games, Titanfall 3 used a modified version of Valve’s Source engine.)

Perhaps the studio decided to switch engines for Titanfall 3, releasing Apex Legends (which is also reportedly on Source) as a stopgap as it pushed back the release of a proper third Titanfall game. Or perhaps the work Respawn had done for Titanfall 3 wound up evolving into this spinoff game. No matter what, the third Titanfall appears to be way down the road.

Expect Apex Legends to be announced very soon, perhaps tomorrow at the Super Bowl or on Monday as a not-so-much-of-a-surprise reveal. This will be the first of two games Respawn has planned for this year, in addition to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, which is slated to come out in the fall.

brad from gb had a funny story about that on the bombcast. saying that he went to LA and saw apex on tues/weds and that the respawn guys said youtube/twitch influencers would be seeing it the next day. so as soon as brad got back to GB he insisted they get the video for it made and uploaded/ready to publish because it was a sure thing one of the influencers would blab to someone. :lol

Played my first game the other night. As it's loading, I get a party invite from a dude on my friends list who I haven't talked to in 3-4 years. Not since legacy Rust. Ignored it and let the accept/decline timer run out, clicked start a match and it instantly pairs me with him anyway. Whole match I'm trying to learn the controls and mechanics, no mic, while my two teammates are dominating rackin up 10+ kills each making call outs going ham on their mics. I die in the last few minutes with 2 other teams left, then a teammate gets downed but Rust dude fucking clinches it and we win my first game. Signed into Origin the next day to see that he unfriended me, yet also (mistakenly?) sent a friend request that didn't seem to work when I accepted it :thinking

Game seems dope though. Left a better impression than Blackout, though it's not as heart attack inducing as PUBG. That's both good and bad.

Apex makes Blackout completely irrelevant.

If you're really a big cod fan I'm sure blackout still has appeal to you, but as someone who isn't into COD like I once was then yeah, I agree with you. I doubt I'll play much blackout in the future with this game around.

I like it, it's fun enough. The high TTK will make ganking squads coming out of combat the absolute norm though since a battle damaged squad won't have a chance to outshoot a fully tooled up one and it's fairly hard to do anything particularly crazy with your mechanics to compensate.

I liked PUBG for the Arma bent and what a deliberate, methodical process each engagement was. This is much more of an action game, but still pretty limiting in your mobility or ability to outplay your enemy. If they're going this way i'd rather have the full mobility of an arena shooter with something closer to the Quake 3 weapon set.

Removing wall running was an absolute crime.

the struggle to continue maining pathfinder after playing away and realising that if you don't have a hit box like a giant lego man you can actually last more than two seconds in close combat is real.

probably he most mental decision in this game was giving every character identical health and speed, but massively different size/shaped hitboxes. dodging wingman shots with wraith is an absolute piece of piss compared with PF/gib/caustic and it's not like their kits are so overpowered they compensate for being a total bullet magnet.

Yeah been playing gib for my latest win and so many engagements end with me thinking it'd be different if I was anyone else. A shame because his ult is great but the hitbox, along with the delay on the gun shield and the overall feel of being slower (even though he isn't) makes me not want to use him ever again.

my best skill (outside of health management/medic work/flanking/etc.) seems to be being able to identify the weapons from Titanfall 2 that are near identical and thus being able to use them at like three times the range of anyone else

my teammates engaged this other team and i could have never really have ran to catch up in time but i still basically downed the whole team according to the post-game damage stats because i could burst fire the alternator reasonably accurately from like a football field and a half away :lol

reminder that these characters all use the same weapons and have the same health pool/run speed. the smaller ones actually have better abilities and faster animations.

the biggest is 2.4x the size of the smallest. absolute top tier game design.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Hey everyone!



First off, we know you folks are fired up for info on Season 1 and Battle Pass. We still have work to do to get everything ready for prime time and won’t be talking about it yet. There are a lot of moving parts and coordination that go into big announcements and launches like this so please be patient. I know the wait sucks but it’s coming and ask that you all please be patient with us.

Over the course of this week we’ll be talking about a few hot topics and we’re kicking things off today with a patch that is live on all platforms with some fixes, our first tweaks to the meta, and we'll give a preview of how we’ll be addressing Legend balance and hitboxes for Season 1. To talk about how we’re thinking about game balance and some changes we’ve made, I’d like introduce designers, Lee, Sean, and Brent who will give their POV and we’ll all stick around for a bit to answer questions.

I want to set the expectation that there will be lots of things we can’t talk about yet. We won’t be confirming or revealing any future content or features in the questions.



I’ll let the guys take it from here:



Leeeeeee-RSPN here with RespawnSean, Jayfresh_Respawn & Scriptacus to give a quick update on how we think about live balance at Respawn and the current state of live balance for Apex.



HOW WE THINK ABOUT LIVE BALANCE AT RESPAWN

https://i.redd.it/i3dk528qzkk21.jpg

TL;DR - We make less frequent, better tested, higher impact balance changes in order to minimize the impacts on your time spent mastering the game.



A core philosophy of our development process for Apex Legends is to listen to player feedback, parse through all the data we get from the game, try things, and then playtest them a ton to get them just right. And… repeat. The goal is to ship polished, closer to the mark updates than if we got things out rapidly and iterated in the live environment. We know y'all are putting a ton of time into the game and mastering every nuance (like Wraith portalling people off cliffs for the final kill lolz). Our goal is to make less frequent, better tested, higher impact changes, so it minimizes the effects on your time spent mastering a particular mechanic, weapon, character, etc. You shouldn't have to read our patch notes every few days just to keep up with how characters and weapons now work.

The exception here is that we will be very quick to adjust things that are way out of balance (for example, if we released a new character that completely dominates the meta from Day 1, we'd address it ASAP).

We didn’t want to make any hasty changes around launch, because we know a ton of players are still learning the game with lots of new Legends dropping in everyday. The week one meta vs. the week two / three meta was meaningfully different from what we've seen, so want to make it sure it settles a bit before we act. For example, Mirage’s power level has dropped a bit as players have adapted to getting Bamboozled. :) We want to let you know we're constantly reviewing the state of the game and considering and testing a variety of changes.



With the above philosophy in mind, I wanted to give a quick update on where we stand with the current state of character and weapon balance and provide an early preview of the things we’re planning to do for Season 1.



WEAPON BALANCE

https://i.redd.it/fj9qpgvrzkk21.jpg



Overall, we feel that the current weapons present solid options for a variety of gameplay styles. We've found that the Skullpiercer Wingman has been on the stronger end, but it’s designed to be a weapon with a higher skill ceiling. Our adjustments are attempting to move it more into the hand cannon space and away from full auto Deagle. We’ve also adjusted the rate of fire of the Peacekeeper with Shotgun Bolt attachment, so players will have a larger window of vulnerability if they miss their shot. Additionally, the scarcity of energy ammo and lower number of energy weapons overall has made those weapons difficult to main, so we’ve increased energy weapon and ammo availability.



WEAPON ADJUSTMENTS LIVE ON ALL PLATFORMS

Wingman
Rate of fire reduced from 3.1 -> 2.6 shots per second.
Skullpiercer Headshot damage multiplier reduced from 2.5 -> 2.25
Increased base hip fire spread and decreased the rate at which hip fire spread decays (shrinks back down).
Peacekeeper
Shotgun Bolt rechamber rate has been reduced for the Peacekeeper only.
Level 1 mitigation 10% -> 7.5%
Level 2 mitigation 20% -> 13%
Level 3 mitigation 25% -> 16%
Wingman and Peacekeeper availability has been reduced in all zone tiers.
Increased availability of energy weapons & ammo in all zone tiers.


Why no P2020 or Mozambique buffs?

We love y’all’s ‘Bique memes, so we’re hesitant to lose that :P
In all seriousness, our goal is to have a power curve of weapons. "Power curve" just means that some weapons will be weaker and more common, while others will be stronger and rarer. Some weapons are intentionally less powerful until fully purp’d with hopups and attachments, while other weapons on the bottom of the power curve are your early game, better-than-melee, but-gotta-upgrade-out-of-ASAP weapons. We’ve seen some good feedback from players about how to make these pistols more exciting without losing out on the goal above that we’re listening to. We’ll be continuing to watch player data and feedback and trying things out internally but for now, they’ll remain the same.


ADDITIONAL PATCH NOTES

Fixed some script errors that we identified were occasionally causing disconnects during matches.
Caustic occasionally causing disconnects while throwing is Ultimate.
Pathfinder occasionally causing disconnects when activating a Survey Beacon.
Players occasionally causing disconnects when removing an attachment.
Gibraltar occasionally causing disconnects when pulling up his Gun Shield.
Players occasionally causing disconnects when entering Spectate Mode.


ADDRESSING LEGEND BALANCE AND HITBOX FEEDBACK

https://i.redd.it/taz9cycvzkk21.jpg

TL;DR Our goal is to be able to have characters with different rig sizes, hitboxes and ability kits, and still have each character be roughly equal in power level, win rate and viability of pick.



For character balance, we look at a combination of things: pick rate, win rate, and character v. character matchup win rate among other metrics, and, of course, player feedback. The results between the 5 small and medium rig characters have been positive - they are all in a safe band of relatively equal power. Our large rig characters, however, are underpowered and their natural size appears to be a large contributor. We’re planning on adjusting the size of the large character hitboxes to better fit the model. If these changes are insufficient to bring these characters in line, we’re also considering a range of other changes such as natural damage reduction as well as individual kit power tweaks. Because many of these changes are significant, we want to make sure they are heavily tested before they go live, in the event they are necessary. Below is a quick overview on the roadmap of how we’re thinking about bringing large characters back in line.

Overall, we want to try to increase the power level of the large rig characters, before we consider large nerfs to everyone else. While we’ve made small adjustments, we’re hopeful that increasing the power of large rigs is healthier than nerfing everyone else.



LEGEND ADJUSTMENTS WE'LL MAKE AT THE START OF SEASON 1

https://i.redd.it/1fp7x5pyzkk21.jpg

Major balance changes:

Hit box size reductions and optimizations for Caustic, Pathfinder and Gibraltar
We’re better sizing hitboxes to character gear & model
Since these adjustments have a MAJOR impact on the game, we want to make sure there aren't any major bugs, so we didn’t want to rush them out
If these adjustments prove to be insufficient, we’ll consider additional adjustments during Season 1


Minor balance changes:

Caustic
Traps - Reduced cooldown to 25 seconds from 30 seconds
Traps - Increased radius and proximity radius by about 10%
Traps - Removed a 1 second delay on the smoke dealing damage to players
Pathfinder
Insider Knowledge - Increased the number of beacons in the world to 12 from 10
Lifeline
Care Package - Removed slight chance that level 4 armor and helmets will drop
Wraith
Into The Void - Cooldown increased from 20 -> 25 seconds
Bangalore
Double Time - Reduced move speed bonus to 30% from 40%


We appreciate all the feedback and please keep it coming! As you are playing these changes let us know how they feel, we’ll be around for a while for questions :)

No Battle Pass today ;(

Quote
Hey Friends,

So between the datamining and the unintentional update about Season 1 on Origin today, there’s been a lot of speculation and confusion so we wanted to give some clarity:



We’ll be providing details on Season 1, Battle Pass, and the next Legend very soon. It’s not coming out today.

There’s lots of stuff that has been datamined from Apex since launch and is swirling around the Internet. We know this stuff is fun to dig up and speculate about, but you should not treat any of that info as a source of truth. There’s stuff in there that is very old, or things we’ve tried in the past and cut--remember our design process is to prototype and play lots of ideas--and some of it may be things we’re still building for Apex Legends. Finding this stuff by no means confirms that it’ll ever come out. At best you should treat any posts about this as a rumor and the real info will come from us when we’re ready to show off what’s coming next.

Thank you to everyone for staying patient through this and hang tight. We’re excited to get Season 1 kicked off and having you grinding on that Battle Pass with a new Legend to master soon.

Battle Pass Season 1 Philosophy

TL;DR Season 1 is about keeping it focused and allowing players to earn a lot of rewards at a great value (you even get the cost of the base Battle Pass back if you reach level 97).  We’ll begin adding more and more innovations each season, as we evolve the Battle Pass.

Our first Battle Pass is all about letting you continue to learn and experiment with the core Apex Legends experience while earning awesome loot at the same time. You’ll notice the first version isn’t built around a complex quest system where you need to do a 720 backflip off of Watchtower Artemis and get two Wingman headshots before hitting the ground. While we think there’s really cool design space in quests and challenges for future Battle Passes, we wanted the initial version to allow our players to just play and learn the game.

All of the rewards in the Wild Frontier Battle Pass are exclusive to Season 1 and will never return to the game after the season ends (excluding Apex Packs and the content dropped in them).

Lastly, regarding other games in development at Respawn, it is important to understand that there are entirely separate development teams working on Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Additionally, in order to fully support Apex Legends, we are pushing out plans for future Titanfall games. No resources from the Apex Legends team are being shifted to other titles in development here at the studio, nor are we pulling resources from the team working on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Respawn do a good job on capturing and putting together these trailers. Many gameplay trailers I see for similar games end up looking a bit unpolished either from jerky flying freecam or frantic-looking character animations from third-person views but theirs are pretty solid on those fronts.

I also like the cute touch of Wattson's faux surprise expression for the shock effect.

New season good. Good game. Best match I've had in awhile and it was pubbies too:

VIDEO: Pubbies Lend Me Your Strength! (https://streamable.com/163yx)

Disruptor rounds were op for a couple days but they've been toned down already. Who woulda thunk being able to 2-4 shot shields would be too powerful. It was fun while it lasted though: https://streamable.com/hwsw4

:doge

Wattson is cool. Shield recharge near her ult is cool along with it destroying ordinance. People are kinda complaining that her fences are easy to destroy but I think it's fine. You're not really supposed to be fencing off wide open spaces? Like they're very clearly meant to used at defensible positions (places with corners & nooks) and slow down chasers. They're fine. Much like caustic's traps they're at least partly meant for information gathering (causing ppl to stop/hesitate or shoot...giving themselves away etc). Might still be early but I think they're fine.

Ranked is cool, it's pretty much a joke competition wise until you start playing dudes in gold/high silver. That's when everyone turns into a fucking aggressive accurate head peeking laser. Supposedly all the cheaters are in high gold/plat and all the super lord streamers are sharing a google doc with their names and tracking them. Not there myself (lol) I'm just hitting silver but my buddy is Gold 3 and when I play with him it's sweaty. Do like the chance of pace in ranked though. Silver and up it costs you 1RP which goes up with each tier to even play so to not fall you want to be getting at least a kill and hitting top 10 so everyone is more cautious.

uWu french weirdo waifu

So Ranked! Didn't put that much time in this week tbh but I'm in Silver II so you know progress. The Ranked meta has settled for the most part now and surprise! It's camping buildings with oppressive trap legends for those sweet sweet placement points. You basically play the opportunistic vulture early game, fighting only when you have to or it's guaranteed easy kill/ambush. Then it's hide hide hide and lay traps to cover your ass! Trap aspect aside this should be very familiar to PUBG players! A lot of nerve wracking "did they see us?" as you peak over, under and out things figuring the best route to the next circle. It's a nice change of pace like I said in my other post because unranked is still hyper aggression all the time kill kill pussycat kill free for all. Perhaps even moreso now since most of the sweaty tryhards are in ranked. Also the flatline is good now idk.

You Know What The Fuck It Is (Coming Live from Geo Synchronous Orbit v. 1.2):

Hit Gold but kinda languishing. The 2 cost isn't much but I can't field a decent team and pubbies are thirsty again so I'll get a kill or two and break even but just miss top 10. We'll see if next week is better, could just be my plateau oh well.

Had a sick ranked game early in the week tho:

Edited Transcript of EA earnings conference call or presentation 30-Jul-19 9:00pm GMT (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/edited-transcript-ea-earnings-conference-070804072.html)
Quote
Question: Can I visit just a little bit at Respawn, just the resource question? It's something we get from investors a fair amount. And so obviously that studio is being taxed with some really important stuff. So I guess would love to hear your thoughts on how resourced the Apex Legends effort is, either in terms of bodies or dollars or whatever you can say? And where did that come from? And did any of that get pulled from the Star Wars effort? And just to reassure us that you've got enough on all of that. And why don't I leave at that? It's a pretty broad question.

Andrew Wilson: Okay. Good question. I would offer a few pieces of feedback that I think will make you feel better about life. The first is that there are multiple teams at Respawn, very different teams as well. Again, Apex Legends is a fast-paced multiplayer first-person shooter and has a bespoke team specific to that type of game. This is the team that had worked on Call of Duty many years ago, had launched Titanfall, and now Apex Legends. So this is very much their particular skill set. The Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order team is a completely different type of team led by Stig, who had been a game director on God of War, and it's all about the single player journey fantasy of being a Jedi. And so they have 2 discrete teams. And there's actually a third team at Respawn as well working on some new things.

In addition to that, this is where scale matters in this industry. In Electronic Arts, we have a very large central group that can provide art, engineering and design help if needed across the company, and we have a number of live services teams also across the company that are well-suited for the creation of new content. And so the combination of individual teams inside Respawn that are individually staffed with their specific games in mind and the global scale of EA and the central resources that we have to help across art and engineering, we feel very, very good about our ability to sustain the needs of our global player base.

Blake J. Jorgensen: We've also pulled teams from outside of Respawn to provide them resources on development if they wish to do so -- as Respawn wishes to do so. We have a large DICE team in LA, for example. We have a large live services team in Vancouver. And what we've tried to do is perfect our organization to be able to work long distance as well as in the middle of a studio. And so we've given them the opportunity to pull on any resources they want. And they're very, very conscious about how to make sure they've built the best game and they use the resources very effectively to do that, but they -- there's no shortage of resources relative to what they need.

LOOT BOX CONTROVERSY!
https://gfycat.com/obedientnextbronco

Made it to platinum in ranked and while I'll keep chugging while caring less about placement this might be my plateau. Once you hit ranked everyone becomes super accurate and the whole process becomes way more grindy. -3 entrance fee means you gotta be placing top 5 consistently to really be making any meaningful headway points wise. That's okay, I just don't plan on playing that much lol. Lifeline skin is still sick and I hope I get it from the free box because I don't buy skins but if not oh well.

You can spend US$7 at McDonald's, or a sandwich and coffee at Starbucks. You can buy 1/3 of a grass-fed steak at Whole Foods' butcher.

Or you can buy a lootbox and complain about it to your two-dozen YouTube followers for 15 minutes.

So, yeah. Buy it or don't. Love it or don't. But devs and publishers don't owe consumers an apologetic handjob for misjudging this generation's arbitrary value placed on horse armor.

Nah, you're totally right. I love never unlocking a character in a Tekken game anymore. Just buy those DLC characters if you want any extra's chump!

Fuck off with this apologetic bullshit. Microtransactions, loot boxes have actively made games worse.

It disgusts me to see people defend this kind of ridiculous antics.

Pretty sure it's no surprise all of their skins are mostly garbage, but these ones, nahh these are premium so PAY UP CHUMPS if u wanna look cool

I'm not buying it, so what is your beef? That people aren't happy with it? If McDonalds starts putting 4/5 extra dollars per burger, I bet you see people complaining too.

It's a live-service F2P game. Shit works really well, no sense getting angry about it. :doge

Have a look at Path of Exile's store for the fair, but fuck-expensive approach (10 points = 1$):
https://www.pathofexile.com/shop/category/armour-effects

Most of their money comes from supporter packs, I believe, there's a new one every season (3-month intervals):

Why is it so expensive? Because it's optional.

Who's apologizing? Not me, you entitled, off-topic, diarrhetic windbag. You're talking about Tekken and other retail games adding additional content for pay, in a thread about a game that is 100% free-to-play. How should the team get paid? Who's writing the APEX team's checks? NOT YOU, and yet you're free to play with everyone anyway… and you're complaining about it.

It's not pay-to-win, and it's not pay-to-play, it's not subscription based-- so they're charging for things which alter appearance.

Grow up.

I'm complaining about the 7$ lootbox like any other sane person would man. Stop being such a corporate shill

How should the team get paid? I dunno, maybe the billion dollar megacorp could pay them their normal wages somehow?

New map is good.
G7 with double tap is beautiful.
Crypto is alright. Solid support legend if you aren't a kill/dmg monster. I crafted camo skin for him. He looks cool.
Charge Rifle is really good. Dunno if it's OP or not because I definitely see some ppl avoiding it.

Charge rifle nerf! Still pretty good. World's Edge! Rough edges I thought were there are kinda gone. It's probably better than KC if I'm being real but I just have so many hours in KC that I don't want to call it call it yet. Crypto is cool but not intensely meta even in casual I feel like the don't see him a lot anymore. Shame, he's useful but I guess ppl will always gravitate more towards outright fraggers and comp meta approved legends.

Man I really love that xmas mode they have going.

I respected Apex Legends and love the design choices Respawn makes, but I'm honestly not really a fan of br games at all. I played Apex Legends because I liked everything about Respawn, despite it being a br game instead of because of it being a br game.

But that xmas mode is exactly what I wanted from them. Something with the same gunplay and mechanics, but without the chaotic mess of a br game. A more traditional shooter style game.

The bugs are running pretty wild with this game right now, I'm guessing it's because there's a big update brewing. Really hope for some major changes to the map when the new season drops, it's a lot easier to get wins with this map but I can't get past how sniper-friendly it is.

I played this randomly the other night after my Titanfall 2 time, and on the second drop I couldn't find anything in the building we landed near except ammo, all the sudden there's like dudes everywhere too. So I threw out the heal beacon thing and just tried to keep my teammates up and jump meleeing anyone who came near me. We all died but I got "MOST DAMAGE" in the trio somehow. :lol

The game is in a very good place rn! Some good changes! I'm mostly playing ranked because apex university dudes say if you're playing solo and want to get better theres no reason not to. I'll dump videos or one big road to gold video this weekend probably.

Pathfinder change isn't even too bad, it just means all the pro spider-men have to actually think before they enter combat. No more "free" escapes or super positioning mid fights. Loba working like I figured she would, a rising favorite for the solo tryhard selfish assholes but a good one can pull some clutch armor swap shit for the whole squad.

Post by: eleuin on May 16, 2020, 12:55:15 AM
Didn't miss matchmaking giving only 1 teammate in trios, or someone disconnecting when a respawn is still viable, or getting wiped as soon as you land, but that first solo squad wipe (almost) makes up for it

Good advice on ranked, had more success there (1 whole win) than normal, even in bronze IV which seems rife for smurfs, I did get carried hard though so jurys out on that

Only realized after reading around how gimped lifeline is now, with the gibby and mirage buffs they do her job better than her
Title: Re: Apex Legends: F2P three-person-team Battle Royale from Respawn
Post by: toku on May 16, 2020, 01:01:22 AM
Honestly like a lot of games it seems, ranked is never really scary and is usually the better experience. Especially if you enjoy playing even half seriously. Siege ranked can be stressfully but it's usually way less toxic than pubic matches etc. If you're gonna talk I find opening with a joke or being silly works best. After that ppl will just automatically defer to you for leadership. It's really weird but it works like 8/10 times.

Yeah I'm not to worried. She's not even really weak right now, she's just "sub-optimal" if you're tyring to min-max. Her rez shield is still great, still nice having a heal even if it's slow. Everyone right now is in okay to great place. This recent patch put Bloodhound around where they should have been from jump. Scan is now super useful, and you get it often enough that it's great, but not too often that it's oppressive to the enemy teams/squads. Mirage actually has utility now.

Crypto, Octane and Rev are probably in the worst spots rn. Crypto's kit isn't even that bad but he's not an easy to use legend and a bad player can hurt your team. Rev's passive is really fucking nice, but his ult sucks and while his tactical is nice I don't think its ever made a huge difference in fights or before fights. Octane has nothing that feels useful. I read somewhere that they should give him a double jump or allow him to jump father passive would be great and i kinda like the sound of that. Idk what you could do with him.

Recently gotten back into apex and man this game is so good. The combat is so fun and refreshing compared to warzone. I love that you can be aggressive instead of camping your nuts off 24/7 like in warzone.

And man I love duos. The combat is so much more controllable in that mode.
