How is Virt meant to be played?

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?

Apex feels unenjoyable right now.

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.

Xbox has lost all 4K support and is very low contrast [Solve guide]

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.

Why does it feel like everyone just does more damage than me?

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.

Xbox has lost all 4k support and is very low contrast.

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.

Is Newcastle worth learning for Ranked?

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.

So I've recently watched both Ones Who Live and Daryl Dixon and absolutely loved them.

However, im struggling to enjoy Dead City at all. Ive watched some of the last episode of season 1 (around 25 mins in), and I can't seem to enjoy it. Im just not interested in the plot or even the main characters.

Im not sure if it's just me, but I genuinely can not stand Hershel as a character. He's so annoying and ungrateful.

Im also tired of the dynamic between Maggie and Negan. It's still the same. "I hate you, but I need you" that it's been since Season 9 of The Walking Dead. Im honestly just bored of it at this point.

So I want to ask, Is Season 2 worth watching? Does the show get better?

Im so sick of facing players who just turtle. They will do absolutely nothing but wait for parries, and its by far the most boring playstyle in the game.

What's worse is how common it is now. Even content creators do it. I saw a big FH creator put up a nobu montage where they were fighting a WM. They waited for so long (for a parry) that they started spam emoting just to bait it. They wouldn't even use an attack to bait it because they just refused to attack at all. How is this supposed to be fun? How does anyone think this makes them skilled?

Before people say it, yes. I have tried to throw raw heavies, empty dodges, feint heavies to lights and zones, etc. But it does not work. These players just sit with their noses touching the screen at 500fps and perfectly react to everything.

Turtling is ruining the game, and it is a no-skill playstyle.
