(2019) Adjusting Circle Damage in Elite Queue - Going Live Around 4pm PST Today

This thread was added on June 13, 2019, with posts from Jayfresh_Respawn.

Original Post

Hey all,

This afternoon we'll be adjusting circle damage in Elite Queue. After letting the original change marinate for a couple days we agree with the feedback that the first circle damage is a bit too aggressive so we've made some adjustments. 

Around 4pm PST today, circle damage in Elite Queue will be the following:

  • First circle now does 7% damage per tick [previously this was 15%].
  • Second circle does 15% damage per tick
  • Third circle does 20% damage per tick
  • Remaining circles do 25% damage per tick.

Thanks for the feedback on this. Let us know how it feels

Yay!

I still think 7, 10, 15, 20 would be perfect.

7 gives you 15 seconds outside.

10 gives you 10.

15 gives you 7.

20 gives you 5.

15 seconds isn't long enough for a fight, but it's long enough to get a med or two off in case you get stuck outside of the circle.

Edit: Apparently, damage ticks are every 1.5 seconds, not every 1 second, so my numbers are a bit off.

Noted. Give it a shot today, see how it feels and let us know. We'll be watching for feedback and might tweak the values more if needed.

Hello. Is the server side patch still going live this week?

Already did! https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/bzf40a/patch_going_live_today_for_all_platforms/

/u/Jayfresh_Respawn I used to get 144-200 FPS, after the 1.2 patch I was getting 60-80 FPS. I’m now playing at 1600 x 900 resolution to get better frame rates.

With console commands I was able to make the game perform much better. Will Respawn be allowing console commands that make this possible in the future?

We did enable some in the last patch - https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/bzf40a/patch_going_live_today_for_all_platforms/
