There are at least a handful of us playing it.

And it is comfortably my favourite of the Battle Royale games I've played and I'll be considering giving them some money for the Battle Pass when it comes out.

AND it has a little Third Hard action on the go. So, thoughts? Any favoured legends? Y'know, general chit-chat, that sort of thing.

I am probably best with Wraith purely because her tactical is a bit of an "oh shit" button. I'm not especially clever with her ultimate yet but the portals have been useful situationally.

I want to spend some more time with Pathfinder too and get better with his grapple just because it's fun. (Here's some Pathfinder going all Scorpion on a Lifeline. (https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/auo0fj/that_actually_looked_so_sick/))

I need to get in the habit of having OBS on to record any entertaining bits of my many fails or occasional competence.

Why bother trying to find a Mozambique when you already come equipped with fists, which are superior?

I've mainly stuck to playing either Bloodhound or Mirage (since I've unlocked him).

Bloodhound is the character I've had most success with - all 4 of my wins have come whilst I've used him. I enjoy using Mirage, but I don't feel like I get the best out of his kit at the moment.

While I do have my preferences, though, I still can't understand people who quit out because the character they want is gone. Idiots.

What do you get for the battle pass. Ive yet to play the game. I never played Fortnight or PUBG either and I just dont know why as I enjoy shooting games.

It'll just be more cosmetics and stuff. You don't (and can't) spend money to get better at the game.

But at this point I've already played many hours so I'm happy to chuck them a few quid.

Had a fairly good short session tonight, getting at least a kill in most games. Last one was the best, with a full squad wipe on the original drop, finishing on 4 kills and kill leader for the majority of the game.

I feel a lot better playing in a more aggressive manner - I think that has come simply through playing the game more and getting more confident with mobility and mechanics.

Guess it can't hurt to download for free. Shame the lag would be too shit to play with you fellers.

They're taking the Pathfinder skin away from anybody who doesn't actually have Twitch Prime and got it using the exploit.

Nope was definitely because of the skin.

Wait until you see the skin I've got on the peacekeeper :cool:

Is it the same gloriously garish one I have that you said "Whoever had this Peacekeeper before me has got an awful skin on it"?

New legend 'leaked.'

He sounds useful but not that exciting. Unless the jumpad is hilarious, in which case I will be 1000% in.

The speed thing sounds OP as fuck. I'd play him every time.

The extra speed sounds great, but I wonder what the cooldown is for that ability.

Ian
28-02-2019, 11:17 AM
Given how well they've managed to balance everything else I imagine it'll have a longer cooldown than Bangalore's passive.

In Titanfall 2, which the skill is basically a rip off of it's like a 12 second cool down.

Ian

I mean I suppose it's all well and good if somebody decides to spam it but a good player is still gonna hit you as soon as you stop and having had 18 seconds of speed won't count for much as soon as two bastards with Peacekeepers melt your purple armour.

Ian

Saw a video the other day of a guy Mirage-ing a holo into a building, chasing it in, shooting it because apparently he fooled himself and then got Peacekeeper'd.

I went Caustic rather than Mirage so I've not used him yet.

I was wrong, the Battle Pass won't include new legends, you'll still need to unlock them as you do now.

I nearly had a panic attack once, shooting the stupid "Decoy" of a team member.

He was legit boss at the game too, so was probably glad when he died and no longer had to group with me and Mike. :lol:

Trying to balance the bigger characters a bit too, which is good. All the changes in there seem quite sensible to me, nothing drastic.

Justice, I think I might be getting okay at this game.

Winning while dealing 0 damage is impressive, even I haven't managed that.

I mean as Lifeline that doesn't necessarily mean you're not contributing but still.

Yeah he was bad. I shot and killed someone, ran over to his box only to get immediately headshotted so backed up and the guy ran past me and started looting from the same box. He died.

Coming today.

Undecided if I want that new legend or not. The world and his fucking dog will be playing as him in the first few days anyway though so I'm gonna hold off for a little bit while I decide.

Samadini

I'm not going to bother with the battle pass. They actually deserve some of my money, as I've played quite a lot for free, but will wait and see how the next few battle passes look, as this one looks a waste of time.

I know you can buy this one and get the next one for free if you level up enough, but I've been playing loads and am only level 40 something, so don't fancy my chances of getting to 100 in time.

Ian
19-03-2019, 11:19 AM
The season pass level and battle pass level are different and I assume the season pass one has to tick over at a decent pace for it to be viable for people to get much.

I'll be getting it anyway so I can keep you posted on how quickly it goes up.

What is that, about a tenner? I might get it this weekend. It's been good to have a little break from Apex as I was feeling a bit burnt out last week.

Ian
19-03-2019, 11:53 AM
I think you have to buy 1000 of whatever the Apex currency is called for £9.99 and then you use 950 or something to get the pass.

Me and Sama won a game at the weekend where our teammate had 11 kills more than us combined.

....he had 11 kills.

I bought the new hero and he's my favourite. I've also won again and getting a solid 1-2 kills a game even when I finish low. I like that no matter what I have I should reasonably expect to be able to take-on the guy opposing me.
