The 13th season of “Apex Legends” “Salvation Heroes” kicked off on May 11, but it is clear that the new point game rules impact all players, which in turn caused controversy in Taiwan or overseas communities, while Newcastle in the game The debut also brought a lot of joyful new things.
The new scoring rules have changed the scoring environment
Needless to say, the Respawn team has drastically revised the rules of the points competition, the most influential of which is that the RP entry fee is required from the bronze medal rank, and the class difference, assists and tails of killing RP have changed, but more importantly The only thing is that the threshold of RP rank has also been raised (the length of each rank is increased by 200RP).
Therefore, compared with the previous RP required to climb points, you need to play 800 RP more if you want to upgrade from a certain card position to a higher card position. Under the various changes, the time required for the upgrade in the S13 season has been greatly lengthened, not to mention if Underperforming conditions are likely to result in downgrades.
Timmy (iiTzTimmy), a well-known “Apex Heroes” player, went from bronze to master with 33 hours of durability in the S9 “Eternal Legend” version, and even rushed to the top in the S10 “Feather Rebirth” season with 54 hours. One day, although he successfully rushed to the platinum, it also happened that he was downgraded and returned to the gold medal.
According to the observation of overseas players, only on the first day of the season, TSM team VERHULST and Reps have both marked the platinum medal and are ready to hit the diamond, and HAL has come to the diamond today.
Considering that it takes 15,000 RP to be promoted to the master this season, it may take a few days for the masters, but compared with the situation in the past few seasons, the overall score climbing speed has indeed slowed down due to the impact of the new competition system.
The above situation is aimed at the top players with excellent technology, and the players who account for the vast majority of the game’s bronze, silver, and gold medals are complaining regarding the point environment of the new season on major SNS, because of the relationship between the entrance fee, plus Teammates are uneven or unwilling to cooperate, which makes it difficult for most players to climb points in a low-level environment.
In response to this situation, players at home and abroad have complained that the current point environment is not friendly. Players who think that the competition system has problems reflect that the current point design is easy to lose points and lose the motivation and confidence to climb points.
However, there are also many players who support Respawn’s change. The main argument is that the new rules are designed to reward players who are willing to work as a team and play their skills, rather than speculative players who used to rely on turtle points to pick up tail knives or assists to earn RP points. .
Up to now, the voices of players are still in the debate of two poles. However, because the “Heroes of Salvation” has just begun, it remains to be observed whether this wave of changes will have a positive or negative impact on the overall Rank environment.
Newcastle a little joy
Yes, the new legendary hero “Newcastle” became quite popular as soon as it debuted. He has become the current choice to replace Gibraltar, and it seems that he has the opportunity to change the Meta of past bubble battles.
At present, the focus of many players is on Newcastle’s unique trick “fortress wall”, which allows Newcastle to rush to a designated area and jump to cast the wall, just because the designated area seems to be out of Some bug application methods have been introduced, resulting in Newcastle flying over a distance of more than 70 meters, and can even be used as a means of high-altitude jumping.
Of course, everything has just started the season, so even if there is any problem with Newcastle, I believe it will be corrected in subsequent updates. What attracted the attention of many players was that when Newcastle was in the casting hall, Bonga would accidentally appear in an interesting way to interact with him.
This kind of design is the first time for “Apex Heroes”. Although it has nothing to do with the game battle environment, I personally like this kind of easter egg very much.
Solo approach without RP compensation issue
In addition, overseas players have reported that when Solo entered the game alone, they did not receive RP compensation following the settlement of the game. The Respawn team responded that it may be a bug, so if this problem occurs, it may wait for further announcements or updates.
Apex Legends Season 13, Heroes of the Salvation, launched May 11 on all platforms, with a redesigned Storm Point map, a new Legendary Newcastle and the Battle Pass.
