As much as I want to try and help out here, it feels impossible to do so when a post is just a huge wall of text.
There's nothing wrong with a long, detailed post. But it takes way too much time to actually address any problems when I need to spend the majority of the time looking for the problems in the post.
I see so many posts here with 0 comments because of this reason.

I've recently learned a lot about dieting/"eating right," and it's got me really motivated to start going to the gym.
The only issue is that I just **hate** the social aspect of it. People trying to help me correct my form really bugs me. It's the main reason why I stopped before.
Dont get me wrong, I understand that form is important and all. Im just one of those people who like to be independent and learn on my own. I also just dont like being watched when I exercise.
I figured that I would try to do it at home, but there's only so much I can do with dumbells when I dont have a bench or the space to do it. It feels impossible to get an actual workout like I would in a gym.
I dont want to sound like im making excuses because I really do want to start. I just can't stand the social aspect of the gym.
Absolutely every game is full with scripters now.
Im not even just talking about light parrying. it's those players who always seem to throw the perfect attack at the perfect time so you cant do anything.
Its so fucking boring playing against someone who just throws perfect lights and HA heavies. I either stare and nothing happens or I try to open and get interrupted.
Then im meant to believe that these same people are so good that they can predict every single 50/50 i throw with the perfect counters?
I cant see the reason in playing this game when everyone just cheats or exploits to win. Like how the fuck is there "well known cheaters" in the only ranked mode in the game?
That's all the game is now. People use cheap and boring tactics to win rather than just playing normally.
Reaction players who only counterattack make the game boring. Light parrying doesnt take skill, it takes a 120 fps setup.
People who use externals in 1v1s are cheating. Offense that can't be countered + defense that cant be broken without feeding revenge **is cheating**. Im not sure why so many people act like this is a "tech", you are actively exploiting the game.
The OP heroes just make both issues significantly worse while actively ruining the game with bloated kits.
"I dont care about GTA 6"
"No disc? Im not buying it"
"$80 base edition? Content locked behind ultimate editon? If you pre-order, you're allowing them to get away with it!"
If you didnt care about GTA 6, you wouldnt be posting about it to tell everyone.
If you cared about physical discs, your game library wouldn't be 95% digital games.
Where was the complaining when RE9 was released at $70? Or when UFC 6 was released at $70? Or when Farcry 6 GOTY edition was $120!?
The number of people pretending like they have always cared about these things is hilarious. If you dont want it, dont buy it. It's that simple.
I can guarantee that most of the people crying about these things are going to buy the game when it releases anyway lol.
I've started seeing Seer absolutely everywhere, and now im learning that he currently has the highest pick rate in the game.
I know he got quite a few buffs this update, but none of them seemed all that significant apart from the buffs to his tactical.
Why is everyone playing seer now?
Removing his side enhanced lights did literally nothing to him. His dodge bash is basically an option select. He gets HA, insane UBs, and guaranteed chains for simply parrying. His parry zone is still one of the best anti-gank tools in the game. He gets a mid chain bash as if his dodge bash isnt OP enough.
Everything about this hero is still braindead even after the nerfs. Yet LB players will still spam emote like they're the best players in the world.
I've been trying to learn Berserker for a while, but he just feels like such a bad hero.
He essentially has no openers. He has no bash, no soft-feint and no UBs. The only thing he really has is his heavy -> light hard feint but thats it. Ive came across plenty of people who can block every attack from it easily.
He has bad mid-chain offense. The only thing he can really do after he lands an attack is top UB heavy. His HA is only really useful when someone tried to dodge attack. Yeah, he has dodge cancels, but theyre once again only useful against dodge attacks + deflecting with side dodges isnt easy.
He doesnt have any defense either. Since hes an assassin, he has low health. So you cant even trade with his HA. His defense only really exists during his offense with his dodge cancels because of his Deflect and UD dodge attack
Overall, he just feels awful. Its pretty easy to beat berserker when you can just block and parry heavies.
Any tips?
The devs have made it clear that they dont care about making this hero fair.
Peace breaker is bullshit. HA light from neutral is bullshit. All of his dodges are bullshit. Heavy pin from neutral is bullshit. UDs, UBs, bashes, pins and HA all available after 1 attack is bullshit. Infinite stamina + health because of GB hold is bullshit. FB cancels and recoveries is bullshit. 18 damage forward dodge bash is bullshit. His Zone hold is bullshit. His running, UB heavy is bullshit.
Everything about this hero is OP meta slop bullshit. He quite literally has EVERYTHING is his kit all available from neutral, or 1 button press.
Every patch that Juren isn't nerfed, I see him played more which makes me want to play less.
I just refuse to fight this hero any longer. A minor nerf to his T2 does absolutely nothing. Especially since everyone is using thrilling comeback anyway.
Juren is genuinely ruining the game.
I've recently begun to learn Godot, and im really struggling to understand how to use code in my games.
I've watched a tutorial on the basics like sets, gets, constants, ifs, elifs, whiles, exports, etc etc. But im confused about how to use them in a game along with nodes.
For example, I watched a video on how to put them together, but im still really confused about how different scenes, scripts, sprites, child nodes, nodes and files all interact while being separate, if that makes sense?
Also, how would I organize everything when my project starts to get bigger? Having all these scenes, nodes, sprites, etc. It sounds so confusing to keep track of. For example, storing all my sprites in 1 asset folder will definitely be a pain in the long run.
It also sounds really bad for optimization to have, say, multiple coins, all with the same scene for every single one. (if that makes sense?).
Im honestly just looking for any tips to help me understand how programming works and the workflow for making systems/my game elements interact with the player and vice versa.
It's worth mentioning that im brand new to game development (and coding in general). Im currently 3 days into learning.
I honestly think that this is the worst map pool I've ever experienced while playing Apex. I completely understand that maps are subjective, but I genuinely can't enjoy Ranked with the current map pool.
Broken Moon is awful, Storm Point is sort of bearable, and Olympus is okay at best. All of these maps are so open with hardly any cover.
The fact that they removed Kings Canyon for Storm Point was such a frustrating change.
Literally throw in either E-Distict, Worlds Edge, or King Canyon (again) to replace Broken Moon, and Apex might be enjoyable.
Theres no maps that I can wait for in the rotation now. Every time I try to play, I just look at the Ranked rotation and go off.
I'm Plat 2 on console for context.
Whenever im in a fight, I am aiming and shooting. I dont understand how stopping shooting and performing a tech is meant to help me win. Every time I try to use movement to win a gunfights, I end up getting all my health erased regardless of if I pull off the tech or not.
Yet I see people online who are able to stop shooting, immediately gain max speed and momentum, and never get hit. Regardless of if they're fighting in huge open areas or a tiny container.
I feel like im either facing scripting cheaters or the people online are cheating themselves (smurfing for easy lobbies).
I've been really enjoying anti-ganking recently, but I want to change up who im playing. So far, I've had a lot of fun anti-ganking with Shaman, Warden, and Shoalin.
Im mainly looking for a hero with tools like Deflects, Superior Dodges, or CCs.
I've already played heroes like VG and Afeera a bunch and have a few reps with them. I'm mainly looking for a hero who's hard to master.
Pretty much everything about juren is broken and bullshit, but Peace Breaker is a genuinely unfair move.
It feels quicker than every unreactable bash in the game, pins you for a ridiculous amount of time and it does 14 dmg. Even when I predict this move, I still get caught when I try to dodge
Seriously fuck this hero. I dont even fight Jurens anymore. I run away, and if they catch me, I just AFK until I can respawn.
I know she's a pretty good character, but im honestly just confused about what you're supposed to do with her besides just button mash.
Im mainly struggling to understand what attacks im throwing out and how to get to them from my current posture. It says in her moveset that you can "bypass entering a posture by chaining attacks" yet im entering a different posture every time I chain attacks?
Can someone help me understand Virt?
Movement, cheating, and awful teammates Have all made apex feel absolutely unenjoyable to me.
The whole movement and rushing meta makes every fight feel the same and way too sweaty. Once someone gets more than 50 damage on me, the whole team is flying in with speed gates, stims, jump pads, rev leaps, etc. I end up getting beamed by an R99 before I can even begin to start healing.
Cheating is absolutely rampant, and in every single game, yet nothing is being done about it. Xims, no-recoil controllers, smurfing, boosting, etc. It's honestly ridiculous at how bad cheating is at the moment. I could be in the open for 2 seconds max, and I get beamed by a no recoil full auto gun for nearly all my health by one of these cheaters.
I know awful teammates isnt really a dev issue, but they ruin the game a lot, so its worth mentioning.
I have never played a PvP game where bad teammates are so consistent. I can not comprehend what goes through these people's heads with the decisions they make. Running solo to try and 1v3, engaging in a fight just to completely ditch me and my other teammate with a movement ability, giving up the best circle positions just to thirst a kill, etc. It would be nice if something was added to encourage these people to just stay near their team.
I want to clarify that I still think Apex is a great game. it's just that there's so many things that make it feel awful right now. I simply can't enjoy it. it's just frustrating and boring.
Hi, so I had this issue for a while, but I have managed to fully fix it and figured i would share how since I haven't seen it anywhere else online.
So first things first - CHECK YOUR HDMI CABLE AND PORTS. This should be the first thing to rule out as there's no point in trying to fix something that can only be fixed by buying a new cable/console. Also, make sure your HDMI is plugged in properly and in the 4k HDMI port (my 4k port was HDMI 1)
Low Contrast:
Make sure your TV is updated. If it already is, then restart it.
Make sure your TV is on an Enhanced HDMI setting (this means HDMI 2.0 or 2.1). I found this in the advanced system settings.
Fixing 4K:
Now, while the low contrast will be fixed, you will realize that it still doesn't support 4k.
in order to fix this, simply go into: Settings > TV & Display options > Video fidelity and overscan. Swap you Overrides to HDMI (this will make it look blurry but keep it), then swap back to Auto-detect.
Then, enable HDR10 (even if you dont like it, just disable it on your TV settings). Then it should be fully fixed, and you will see green ticks across all the 4k options.
I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem that I did.
I've been trying to improve at gunfights, but Im at a point where I dont know what im doing wrong.
I seem to lose every time no matter what I do. I could land a full R99 mag on someone, and they'll still be alive and shooting while I need to reload.
I also get beamed no matter what I do. I could be sliding through an axel gate and double jump downhill, and I'll be beamed for all my health by a hemlock from 70m+ away. Yet when I try to shoot at range with an auto weapon, it's like all my bullets curve around the enemies.
Overall, im just lost with how to even win gunfights. It feels like everything is always working for my enemies but never working for me.
Any gunfight tips? Im plat 4 for context.
So this morning, I turned my xbox off and left for work. When I got back, my xbox was very low contrast and didn't support 4k at all.
I have hard restarted and unplugged both sides of the HDMI, but it is still having the same issue.
The only way I've been able to "fix" it has been by changing one of my TV display presets to "film". But i still dont have the 4k, and the preset looks awful. (I just want to clarify that I have tried adjusting other presets to, but it still doesnt work)
The whole reason I got the Series X was because I like 4k gaming (and movies), so this is a huge issue for me.
Any help is appreciated.
I've seen a lot of Newcastle clips recently, and he looks like an insanely good support to learn. I tried playing him recently, and I've been having quite a few issues:
I dont know when to use his Ult. It feels extremely situational, and I end up using it solely to get out of bad situations or just to set up when there's no cover around.
I struggle to use his tactical in fights. Most of the time, im only using it for rotating in the last/smaller circles.
I dont know when a good time to use revive is (if at all) in fights. I've seen a lot of clips of Newcastle players saving the game with mid-fight revives, but when i try, it feels like im throwing lol.
Even if they're not related to my issues, any tips are appericatied as I've only just started playing him.
