>RECONNECT FEATURE?
>We’ve heard the suggestions from you folks asking for a reconnect to match feature. We are currently not pursuing this for a couple reasons:
>1.It opens a lot of risk for players to abuse it.
>2.We believe the resources needed to build, test, and release it are better spent focused on fixing stability issues so that the feature isn’t necessary.
Never dropped a game so fast
They're right though
I mean they're right, if they fix the servers from disconnecting people than there won't be a need for a reconnect feature that could potentially be abused
>Game that ends within 20 minutes don't have a reconnect feature
Boo hoo?
How to abuse?
they aren't wrong, get a stable connection or go back to working the fields
How does one abuse a reconnect feature?
Combat logging
Quitting a game when you're about to die and then reconnecting, things like that
PUBG has a reconnect feature and its never been abused. A game as prone to crashing and other problems as Apex Legends REQUIRES a reconnect feature. The fact that they're spending all this time figuring out loot box economy instead of fixing game breaking bugs is the reason why this game wont be relevant for much longer.
The server are actually fucked, nothing to do with a stable connexion. I do agree they should rather fix the servers then adding a reconnexion feature though.
>Lose connection
>Body just stays there instead of vanishing into the ether
wow that was hard
Okay but, major companies are copying the BR trend which is started with:
Arma BR : can reconnect, your character stays in game when you dc and can die
H1Z1: No reconnect feature, died
PUBG: now has a great reconnect feature same as arma BR
Fortnite: same
Bullshit argument. Your character doesn't have to disconnect from the game.
this, or they could literally just leave it the way it is now but with a reconnect. Where if you d/c you instantly turn into a box and die - reconnect can get revived but most times your squad will probably die
Mhmm yeah weak argument
I'm still trying to figure out what the devs meant when they said that it could be abused, if your character just stayed idle till you came back
>needing to reconnect
maybe you should work on getting better internet
The only times I've ever gotten DC'd was because APEX was a piece of shit
im saying its been done and you cant abuse it
source on these quotes?
dev update on reddit
two options
a) keep it as currently is, but ALWAYS give a beacon, even if the player dc'd, this allows teammates to still loot your body in case someone legitimately quits. When they reconnect you can res them, but not before
b) the character just stops moving and stands there until it dies or the player reconnects, this has the disadvantage of teammates not being to loot it (at least not instantly), but has the advantages of people reconnecting quickly to still have all their shit & not need to be revived
Nobody wanted you to become literally invincible until you reconnected, retard, that'd be fucking ridiculous
retard, it's not a MMO
I can't think of anything easier than implementing a reconnect feature that can't be abused. Are they lying or retarded?
