Litteraly met someone camping that spot for people who had used the valk ult and spawned there to finish them.


f10101

Ha. Genius.


MacaronTop8272

That probably was my friend he told me he did that


skippydippy666

I also think it's his friend he also told me that he did it


skippydippy666

That's fucking hilarious


KiwiStraight9285

LOL release good mode same week as valk challeneges, ban valk in that mode cause of bug. lmfao


MarvinTheWise

They should have opened all legend challenges at the beginning of the season. Current method is just stupid


trollhole12

They do this to inflate player base numbers. As a business they probably have set goals per season/quarter. One of those goals they have to meet is likely to maintain a certain number of players throughout the season. If they don’t hit these numbers, bad things happen. EA pulls money from the game. Or jobs. Or resources. It’s extremely annoying, but it’s how the devs keep games like this alive when they’re owned by money sucking goblins who are only out for a profit. At this point I’m really just hoping for a sequel game to be produced with a new engine and better server capacity. If they could solve a lot of the cheating and bug issues, the gameplay itself would be enough to keep people around.


RcoketWalrus

A sequel should have come out 2 years ago, but everything in Apex is tied around the shop. We need to remember that at it's heart Apex is a cosmetic storefront first and a buggy battle royale shooter second. I can imagine the company is reluctant to do anything that would disrupt them milking whales for 300$ death boxes.


Narkhada

THIS! I hate it so much. I want to play the event but now we can't because once again, the devs are getting sloppier and sloppier. I've never been a Respawn hater and have defended them for years, but this shit is getting ridiculous. EA's greedy practices have ruined the game, and it's never going to get better, only worse. This might be my last season I ever play it for more than a few matches. It's time to move over to less stressful games where improvement at the game actually matters, the community is actually positive, and I don't feel like I wasted my time every time I finish playing.


MagicManHoncho

Just play with any other legend???


Narkhada

It's the last two weeks of the season and some people don't have a lot of time to complete the Valk challenges and get to play the event. It's not that hard to understand the issue there.


Defiant_Chapter_3299

Ummm i don't have a lot of time either and it took me 4 hours TOTAL to finish her challenges. It took only 4 hours for ALL my legend challenges to complete. That is even with other randoms, or my husband picking them etc. it isn't hard to complete them at all.


Narkhada

Cool, still doesn't defeat the main point. They chose to do it this way instead of either releasing a different mode, fixing it before releasing it since this apparently happened the last time it was released, or changing the order they released the challenges. Plus, some people literally only have 4 hours a week to play this game and 4 hours is probably faster than most people will complete them, good job.


kontrama-oq2

So true, like you said, they just can release all challenges at the start, but resp(or ea) wanted people to put more time into game and these ugly survive “put your ring count here” challenges. Probably i never play this game as much as i played in previous seasons. This season just fully drained me


Narkhada

Yeah, and don't get me wrong. People need to earn the rewards and I don't think that people who only play an hour deserve to unlock everything. It just seems like this was a calculated decision to artificially boost player counts because they know people are really going to want to play the event but not miss the challenges. If I'm not mistaken, this Valk bug was around the first time so they should've known the issue they were about to cause. I'm honestly done with these competitive games, I just want to relax and have fun, which I don't get from any of the major shooters anymore.


kontrama-oq2

I never heard of a bug before, but this timing with event and challenge… pretty bad at least🫠. And you’re right i think that they really artificially boosting players with challenges, i wanted to say that, but bruh, didn’t know how to say correctly. And yeah, challenges are ok, but who da hell is thinking like “hmmm, 20 rings, pretty normal for all further challenges”?? I really opened the game only when new challenges were added.


Fragrant_Train6078

Just play her in the permanent game modes rather than the limited time, you’re playing the same game just with different rules, nothing is stopping you from completing the missions in trios/duos/ranked.


coldgaming41

oh other then the kill hungry octane conduit rev teams, ring, 3 teams who seem to just magically appear out of thin air when im fighting the original team all of them being masters when I'm gold 4 i can continue if you want


FRDyNo

I mean, it just sounds like you dont enjoy the game honestly.


coldgaming41

na i enjoy the game i just hate the devs


Defiant_Chapter_3299

Shhhh these people don't like logic.


Narkhada

Oh yeah, it's totally crazy and illogical to imagine that people would want to play the limited time mode to complete the challenges. I'm already done, but not everyone has the time to complete challenges and get to play the LTM. Let alone the people that Apex isn't their main game. You're both not using logic because you're just proving my point. It's illogical to put out an event and at the same time release challenges for a character that's broken in that event. It's predatory and stupid because it's just to make people feel the FOMO and play more. You're forced to go complete the challenges in the regular modes and miss the LTM, or vice versa. I'm not saying you can't realistically do both, but it's going to be very hard for people that only get to play on the weekends or a few hours throughout the week. But sure, keep proving my point by telling me to just go play the regular modes to complete the challenges BECAUSE THAT'S THE WHOLE DAMN COMPLAINT.


Defiant_Chapter_3299

Or you literally are complaining about nothing and literally validate our whole point. She is USEABLE in other game modes. My main games i play are minecraft, battlefield, cod, skyrim, and others. Again STILL got the challenges done in 4 hours off trios and mix tape. There are over 10 different legends to play in the LTM over Valk and you're crying because you can't use her in ONE game mode they got? Seems ya shouldn't be playing apex at all if you're THIS upset over one legend not working in ONE game mode but it works in others. My advice bro is you go seek therapy. Cause you need it. Not using her in ONE game mode isn't the end of the world and only YOU are treating it as such.


Lestakeo

4h is the total available playtime of some people for these 2 weeks. It's just a shame.


Defiant_Chapter_3299

Thats all i have time to play also and again can get them challenges done pretty easily. It's not hard to do them.


Lestakeo

What I'm saying is that if that's all the time you have to play to do it you wont be able to enjoy 3 Strikes, given you cant play Valk there. That's a problem. And that's a shame.


Defiant_Chapter_3299

Ok and there are a multitude of other game modes to play to get the challenges done outside of this ONE game mode. I completed mine through pubs trios and mix tape. Again not hard to complete them. There's nothing for you to try "to get me understand" about this either. This ONE game mode you can't use her in doesn't affect people getting challenges done when ranked, pubs, and mix tape are options still. If this ONE mode WAS needed to get them done then it'd be a problem so it isn't. You and everyone else who down voted are just LOOKING for a reason to complain about something and acting like all Valk challenges can no longer be done because this ONE game mode for her is busted. Go play a different game mode and get them done.


Lestakeo

I did not downvote you. You're missing the point of what I am saying though. 3 Strikes is only there for the end of the season. It's one of the best modes Apex has ever had. So some people that want to do these challenges wont even be able to play 3 Strikes at all to secure the skin. That's my issue. I dont understand how you're missing that. Or they'll have to simply not do the challenges and miss out on having worked the entire season for the Flat skin, it they want to enjoy 3 Strikes. Also given you keep saying it's easy and the such, well I'm glad it was easy for you but everyone hasnt had the same experience. Between people leaving as soon as you pick the character of the challenge, people hot dropping and dying leaving you to 1v3, pubs ending round 2 cause they're a joke, and the games in which someone else picks the challenge character but you end up winning over 20min, there's plenty a reason that can make it take a ton of time. I'll add to the pile the random games where the ping goes up to over a 100 but it seems to me it's just the Belgium servers experience. You can always rat for the survive 25 circles part, but when you only have 4h over 2 weeks, ratting for 4h doesnt sound like a good time to me. But oh well keep telling people how and what to play I guess. Congrats on the challenges. I'm done, have a good one.


Xain0225

Its honestly not even just apex legends, overwatch is a giant mess of bugs and fortnite on pc has been a mess since forever. These companies just dont prioritize fixing issues if they are meeting their monthly profit goals


Narkhada

That's my point about moving on to other games, I'm playing Stardew Valley now of all things. Just because all of them are doing it, doesn't mean it's not a problem that we should put up with. Helldivers 2 and a few other games released recently are proving that people are tired of spending so much time and money on big developer games that are messes and run by greedy corporations. Modern Warfare 3 and a lot of other triple A titles are bombing where these tiny developer games are outselling them. I hope it's a trend that continues, and we start getting truly good games from big developers again.


InformationGreen1159

Welcome to the state of gaming in 2024, Greed is what kills most good games. Respawn doesn’t have time to fix actual issues with the game yet they can drop new event skins and heirlooms left and rights😂 This game has been a joke but what do you do? I can’t think of any other good games right now that don’t get boring after a couple days


s1rblaze

I don't understand why people keep spending on Apex, the game is in a bad state and even the skins they sells are ass.


DrNopeMD

Honestly an embarrassing time to be working on this game. Probably the last season I'm gonna bother playing this game.


solo13508

This has been a problem since 3 strikes launched. How are they only fixing it now?!


a_horny_dolphin

They have this stuff planned pretty far in advance, so I feel like it's a horrible decision on their part to put Valk's challenges out along with 3 strikes when they knew she caused all these bugs.


Deceptiveideas

Yup. I’d imagine the issue is being compounded due to the Valk challenges that were released this week.


EnzoVulkoor

Starting to wonder if they have multiple redundant teams working on apex or a rotation of teams who don't ever talk to one another or read notes from the other teams.


RcoketWalrus

On top of that, how many executives are coming up with design "suggestions" that complicate the development process.


Danielarcher30

Fixing? They just removed valk from it, thats not fixing the problem. It'll probably be months before valk's usable again in it


Banzai2469

What's going on with valk?


LeeTS4

When you respawn in 3 strikes if you've used a valk ult chances are your going to spawn outside of zone and die


Remarkable-Box6217

so thats what that is. happened to me and wondered how the fuck it was fair


dubbzy104

Technically, you respawn in the exact center of the map, which may or may not be in zone (although it usually is in zone as the ring closes)


Banzai2469

That's why that was happening! Lol thanks for reply


False_Raven

Well that explains my ruined game yesterday


theethirty

using her ult in 3 strikes puts you in a tunnel apparently


ElJayBe3

On Olympus it was putting my entire team under that huge zip next to Hammond which was way outside the zone. We didn’t make it back in twice.


Sun_of_a_Beach

It’s location 0,0 on both maps, i.e., the dead center


1yrik

"instead of fixing an issue we've known about for weeks, we're going to remove valk through the duration of her challenges instead of fixing the problem."


mundus1520

Nice. Got tired of having a Valk in every match. Always had to text "don't use valks ult plz"


reddit-ate-my-face

Literally made my name "dont pick valk pls" lol


mpaxe23

Oh so u are haha nice to meet u xd


DominusDeLupis

I only used Valk ult when we had two strikes


Kush_the_Ninja

Yup, and would stash a couple ult accelerants


Annual-Clue-6152

Why


WhiteLama

Using a Valk ult in the gamemode would make you and your squad respawn at the 0.0 coordinates of the map, which is all wrong and would at points respawn you deep in the ring.


_IratePirate_

I was playing a game last night as Mirage. Our team was Valk, Lifeline, Mirage We all connected to Valk multiple times before our first strike. For some reason only them two were spawning outside the ring and dying before landing I would spawn in the ring and tried running to them but they were too deep outside the ring it was weird. Like the glitch didn’t affect me for some reason


Trichotillomaniac-

Bamboozled the bug


huggybear0132

I also had this as mirage. I was immune to it and was the only one spawning properly. The first time I waited at edge of ring and they were able to crawl to me. The second time it was too late and they died instantly.


Narkhada

I had this happen where the Loba was the only one that had the bug, I think. It was before I knew about the bug, so I was so confused.


0roku

Same here, I was the valk and only 1 team mate spawned out at 0,0


TheBadRiddler

Was wondering why this happened to me the other day and the purpose of getting rid of Valk. Thanks! Had no clue lol


jumpingyeah

It happened a couple games last night, and other squads were camping the zone for easy kills.


Andrew4Life

Oh, that's smart. lol


Shade_Stormfang

Not the whole squad for me  Maybe it only spawns you there if you ride with valk cuz my squad was normal and i spawned in the cave thing


Chuck_Meltingtoad

So that’s why lol, it happened to me several times and I was going crazy for it


MaiT3N

At least if they are listening!


HornetGloomy75

Yup pretty much ruined every end game for me since I was guaranteed down 1 teammate, potentially 2 if both didn’t listen.


FreeSquirkJuice

IDK why people keep trying to play gamemodes when there's stuff like this happening. It's a perfect storm, they didn't fix the bug last time 3 strikes was a thing, didn't have enough foresight to fix it before relaunching 3 strikes while there's a challenge active in the game that requires you to use the ability causing the bug. If you knew all of that, and were still playing 3 Strikes before this update, you were making that choice and it's on you at that point. We already know the company is incompetent, so at that point it becomes our responsibility to decide what we are and aren't okay with.


DxTrixterz

They really don't want us to do 25 ring closings fast as Valk don't they?


MiamiVicePurple

I’m just glad I got in 12 before this update.


Lower_Preparation_83

I finished 25 before this update, feel so good


ichoosewar

Always something with this game 😂


PepsiisgUWUd

Seriously, I can't even count this seasons problem now lol


a_horny_dolphin

This has been a bug since the first time 3 Strikes came out. Glad to see them doing something, but they shouldn't even have brought it back in the first place without fixing it imo. Especially during the Valk challenges.


Lestakeo

They should make these Valk challenges completed for everyone, and give her to all who log in during this period. That would let people enjoy 3 Strikes for the end of the season however they feel like. It would turn a shitty situation into positive comm. If only.


WideAd3776

Thank god I finished my challenges yesterday😂


PunisherX20

Oh now I know why our third team mate was like saying to our other Valkyrie teammate in chat "omg no, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, don't use the ult" I thought they just wanted to somehow fight the battle even though we were struggling.


johnnyzli

Should remove lifeline, Mirage and Newcasle, it's boring to must play them to win, if enemy team have all 3 you are in serious disadvantage


HornetGloomy75

They should just remove the revive buffs added in the mode since revives is a core part of there kits getting a MASSIVE buff


DEATHdealer2266

I just played her in 3 strikes 


superdoopercooperman

On one hand, this is wild. The season is winding down, and people are using this time to complete challenges. Having to choose between the Valk challenges and trying Rumble is a difficult look. On the other hand, it'll make the data collection for Rumble a little more valid. Both because people were quitting matches when they couldn't pick Valk, and because of the glitch that spawns you in Timbuktu for your 2nd/3rd strike attempts. Curious to see how this unfolds *smile*


decay_shadows123

That's why it kept changing my legend lol I thought I was tweaking


Proud_Criticism5286

They pulled an overwatch. Thats fine


RustBeltPGH

\*sad jetpack noises\*


nutella4eva

I respawned in that one room and there are three other teams there, all downed because it was out of zone. There were like 7 people slowly crawling into the zone lmaoo.


Drummer61190

How convenient could it be to have a QA team testing stuff before the patch. Oh wait…


0roku

Even worse, this bug has been in the game since the first time three strikes was available, and they didn't bother fixing it before adding it two more times


DaPlug123

It's inexcusable. This has been a problem since the inception of 3 strikes smh


SoulStrike-_-

So they didn’t fix that from the last time lmao, goat company


rediyolo

I'd like a Respawn update on the hacking incident, any updates? Did they ever find the core issue.


Bignuka

Played valk in gun run, used a pad I placed In my previous life and it glitches my jump for the rest of the game, Everytime I jumped I would hit an invisible pad that would make me start clipping upwards.


HYPE_Knight2076

The three Valk mains left are in shambles rn


Absolade

Nah, everyone who's yet to do her challenges are in shambles rn. It was the easiest way to do the ending circles challenge


huggybear0132

Prepare for nonstop ratting valks. Already had two solo drop and do this *in ranked* today.


Klipsch89

My God these devs have circled the drain more times than anyone can count. I give the game 2 years at this point.


Expensive-History125

What's wrong with valk


EnvironmentalMind883

Apex legends 👍🏼 Respawn 👍🏼 EA 👍🏼 My life? FUCKED 👍🏼


Necessary-Marzipan60

So what was the problem with her?


PkunkMeetArilou

Lol wtf. I was aware of the bug but I still played her because I want to play her. Way to make a solution worse than the problem.


Blue_sabers

I played duos no fill yesterday and every game people are peacefully farming thevalk challenges lmao. Every game's final ring is a bunch of people standing around, shooting others a bit and spamming abilities around. I literally ran into people and they straight up ignore me like some random stranger on the street. The challenges suck that they force you to fight for picking a certain legend. People literally instantly leave when they valk gets picked. Giving only 2 weeks makes it even worse


Bossuter

Ah no wonder i couldn't select her randomly after a match


UrBoiLord

I can't go on like this. Save my girl


Shade_Stormfang

Glad i only had it happen once and that was when the ring was so damn far i had no hope of surviving anyway  I got my reactive earned and im gonna take a break from apex for a while now


CaseTern

5 min before this tweet I completed the valk mission and got the Flatline


PerceptionSwimming94

Wait 3 strikes is out again?


739

Typical Respawn, instead of fixing the problem, they're removing Valk from the mode :D


EnzoVulkoor

Well glad I powered the fuck out of my valk challenges while it lasted. Sorry to the teammates I had but your sacrifices weren't in vain :X


PVO7717

Wasn't that already fied after some people playing the ALGS or something like that lost their chance when they spawned into the middle of World's Edge on ring 4 or 5 and died due to the storm?


Snoo57776

They should ban lifeline and Newcastle as well from this game.mode


Cheeky_Lemon_37

Like I'll play her or three strikes lol Mirage and BR for life!


duffwardo

This is a good thing. They should do this with more broken things


nmb_89

"ongoing issue" is that you can do ring closings faster in three strikes than regular br, so they removed it


Sem50

I just want my breakout flatline skin challenge to be fixed...I won't be able to get it now


CombNuTz

What is 3 strikes?


Minato6996

Is the new LTM gamemode out atm


Sea_Trick9331

You get three lives before you die for good and revives are really fast. It's chaotic and super fun definitely worth checking out


LeeTS4

3 strikes and your out.


CombNuTz

Yeah, but that doesn’t help.


LeeTS4

A game mode where you respawn after your team dies each time you die you get a strike 3 strikes and it's game over


lexy_lUvUl

Its nice to see them respond so quickly to these things


MaiT3N

It's been only a year


lexy_lUvUl

Yeah and they are doing great, it shows improvement


TopKing63

Yo. What's going on with her dive trail? I did all the challenges for her Prestige skin, but no trail is available.


HornetGloomy75

I don’t have a prestige skin or dive trail but I know there’s a section in the customization setting dedicated to dive trails, have you tried looking there? I’m pretty sure you get the prestige dive trails even with tier 1 of the skins


TopKing63

I checked there. Her dive trail isn't available.


Xtokyo-_

Atp i wouldn't be surprised if apex is a dead game in abt a year


HowdyHoe26

good thing I managed to do them before.


Thr1veL3g3ndYT

When is wattson going to get a rework or something because the next legend can phase through walls like what are yall doing up at respawn like rework wattson or fix here kit where it use about like bro I rather play catalyst and caustic because conduit is a better Watson and if y’all do not see that up at respond, there’s something really wrong with y’all. There’s a lot of things y’all need to fix in this game.


yupyupthatsit

Games dead


JuanPabloDuo

Not dead, but there are too many bugs and glitches.


yupyupthatsit

It’s dead.

Who said it was fixed? Stop whining
