If you got to Top 5 then that means you earn 4 points. Assuming you are Gold or Silver, then the game deducts 1 or 2 points which still puts you in positive territory, therefore the forgiveness doesn't kick in. Forgiveness only prevents you from going negative.
End of season reward
ooohhh good to know, hrmmm but now you made me wonder if your name shows up here
Hm, don't think so. There was an email where they asked for gamertags and I don't remember replying to it
Not just devs but their friends, it was nice find out all the names though haha
I think CrazyRatLady might be my favourite
CrazyRatLady is a dev on the VR project :)
Thank you for the heads up!
No prob. Congrats on the badge!
Should be fixed in S2
Each time you go down, the timer gets shorter
Had a question about the Streak myself:
Will the badge show your streak permanently after the event?
If yes: Will it show your all-time high streak, or will it show however high it was when the event ends?
Yes, all time high
What about when one teammate leaves before jump/launch?
Happened to me twice already and I had to play another normal round to get back into Elite queue, but then it happened again.
Teammate abandons should also trigger loss forgiveness but I believe that it's bugged at the moment. I already have it fixed locally so it should go out with the next server patch, hopefully
Explain what happenes when you finish top 5 in elite, then want to play non elite game. I just did that, placed 15th and got the "you're forgiven and back in queue" message. But I wasnt playing elite! basically do i have to keep playing elite if im placing top 5 in them and cant play casual right now?
Sounds like a bug. Any sort of forgiveness should only be related to playing Elite
but our streak was still reset kinda ):
would be on 4 now D:
Sounds like you got streak forgiveness
There is loss forgiveness and streak forgiveness. They are slightly different.
Loss forgiveness is basically, "something bad happened, and it's not your fault" (e.g. didn't load in a full team) so we won't count this loss
Streak forgiveness lets you keep playing Elite if you were on a streak (Top 5 twice or more in the Elite Queue), but it will reset your streak
This means that you didn't load in with a full squad in Elite - so you don't get Top 5 there, we don't reset your streak because that would be unfair and the fact that you didn't get a full squad is out of your control.
This should be something that only triggers in the Elite Queue.
Probably has to do with elite queue. It doesn't count as a non-top five finish?
This guy knows what's up
Would earning a top 5 in elite queue let you re queue for the mode? or would you need to go back to regular queue?
If you Top 5 in Elite, you can keep playing Elite. Otherwise you have to go back to regular
Is there a reward for using the Elite Queue? Seems to be nothing more than a self imposed method of decreasing your odds of success.
It wasn't mentioned in the post but there is a badge that tracks your best "Elite Streak" which is the number of Elite Top 5s in a row.
● Apex Elite Queue
Is this opt-in or automatic?
Opt in, separate playlist
Thanks for the quick response and correction. Any timelines on the fix for this issue, the hit reg issue, or the slow motion server issue?
I can say that all these issues are being worked on but I don't know the timelines for when the fixes go out
This is actually false. What is happening is that when the damage reduction happens, it is possible for some to bleed through the shield. When I say some, I am talking less than 1.
The problem is that the client inspects the damage and sees that it did any damage to health at all so it thinks the entire 25dmg or whatever was applied to the health so it decides to not display any of the shield effects.
Again, in reality, most if the damage went to the shield with only fractions of a health point deducted from health.
Still a bad bug since it confuses people but it's not really as bad as this post makes it out to be
Of course I did the dumb internet thing where I didn't watch the video and made a comment. Ok now that I've watched the video 😥
It does look like the bleed through can instantly kill you. I've seen this bug before in testing and we've fixed it but it looks like the fractional bleed through is triggering it again.
This is worse than I originally described it for sure so I apologise about that. Either way, we should definitely fix it soon
Yes, the patch that was meant to reduce dmg by 10% for them didn't work at all, you instead now take that 10% directly from your health instead, meaning you don't actually have any dmg reduction at all and now you risk dying even when having shields.
And don't even get me started on the other bugs this introduced, sometimes you can't even see them wear armor, or the colors will be wrong, fx showing gray armor when they actually have purple
