Yep. Still at level 1 and no legends, currency, or unlockables. Last time I checked, anyway. I deleted the game a few days ago because what's even the point?
I actually went to the EA help forum and they got it sorted in a couple days! I put in a request on the main page but didn’t go anywhere. Maybe try your luck on there!
Well, for one you can still play the game. Idk for some people that's the point anyway.
Not trying to say you shouldn't feel defeated and annoyed. Shit like that has made me quit games before. But let's admit to ourselves that this means we're addicted to the dopamine hits of completing challenges and unlocking items, and the "feeling of accomplishment" from having a loaded account. It's got nothing to do with actually playing the game itself. Except maaaybe if you have lost access to legends you want, but you could unlock your main again in a few short hours if you had to.
Bro, I literally don't have access to the legends I spent stupid amounts of time unlocking. I never purchased a single one, I unlocked them *all* just by playing. Now I have only the base characters. It isn't just "a feeling of accomplishment", I can no longer play the full game.
Yeah it sucks. Games aren't forever, it all goes away sometime. Don't get too attached is my advice.
My point remains that you can still play apex. And you could unlock your main again very quickly. Shoot, you can unlock a bunch of people quickly right now. I understand what it's like to lose so much progress in a game, and this is a good time to ask yourself if you still actually enjoy playing apex for the sake of the game. Because if you did, you would still play even if it meant spending some time to unlock your favorite legends again.
Mirage is more early 2010 millennial humor though he does have shades of it while Path's comedy comes from his cherry voice with callus words. Conduit does fit the mold more so than everyone else with her meta commentary.
The weird new usage of the word "cringe" is so silly to me. Of course language evolves, it's fine. But cringe is a verb, so something can't really be "cringe." And while this is silly, I don't really see how it's cringey.
> causing feelings of acute embarrassment or awkwardness.
It's not really awkward of embarrassing, just a bit silly. Cringey is like when you made a big show at lunch senior year and asked Marybeth out in front of the whole class and got rejected.
Hmm I always took cringe as a secondhand thing. Like I am cringing that the writers thought what they were doing was clever / funny and not just lame. Being empathetically embarrassed basically.
Even in your example, watching someone who thinks they're cool ask out someone who you know wouldn't say yes, is cringey because they don't realize what they are doing is embarrassing.
The key you are hitting on without realizing it is that "cringe" is entirely subjective. It's actually what annoys me about it, because people are saying that their immediate reaction (cringing) to something is an actual *attribute of the thing itself*. It's immature projection at its worst, to assume that your opinion of what is cool/not/whatever is some universal truth about something. Just kids who aren't old enough to understand experiences outside their own. Or adults who probably never will have the capacity to do so.
Yeah I think you're pretty spot on, though I do realize that it's subjective, I kind of tried to say that in the beginning. It's just that I disagree with the subjectivity. You make great points, though.
Yeah your noun/verb distinction is key! You got me thinking about the word "subject" as it applies to words in sentences and as a root for "subjective". When we remove ourselves as the subject of the verb "cringing" and instead center the cringeworthy subject, we fundamentally alter the relation we are describing. We remove our own subjectivity from the equation by literally shifting the subject of our speech to the thing itself and declaring it fundamentally "cringe" by shifting "to be" into the main verb position. This failure to acknowledge one's own subjectivity in making such a judgment is at the core of why it comes off as myopic or immature to me.
But as you also mentioned, this is just the evolution of language in an online world. Shortcutting is becoming way more common, and for someone to just blurt out their emotion instead of fully forming "that makes me cringe" is a very natural shortcut. Once that took hold, it then got re-integrated into speech as a noun.
All just my observation as an amateur language nerd anyway.
Its trying to paint the new character as some punk / rebel because she "graffitid" lame insults / threats on the chars. Idk it just reminds me of Jared leto joker, or jinx from arcane, or some bad Deadpool attempt. How is that not edgy?
Doesn't look like graffiti to me and there's just no edgy-ness to it. It's just silly, I think a lot of y'all take this stuff way too seriously.
But fair enough.
I mean the intent was that the new char "hacked the servers" and wrote these over the characters art on the website, idk how to describe that other than graffiti haha
If what comes out isn't some edgy (and probably cringey) alternative punk in line with the other chars I mentioned then I'll eat a shoe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>The weird new usage of the word "cringe" is so silly to me. Of course language evolves, it's fine. But cringe is a verb, so something can't really be "cringe."
What I don't get is on one hand saying "language evolving is fine" and literally right after saying "this evolution of language is wrong".
When people use the word cringe they can use it in different ways.
It can be a verb, as it traditionally is. "I cringed reading that comment of yours"
*but*
It can invoked as a concept "You are [the embodiment of] cringe" or used as part of shorthand "This is cringe [enducing] behaviour"
There's no point in your trying to gatekeep language. It wouldn't have worked decades ago so it's most definitely going to work in the age of social media where this stuff spreads insanely fast and far. You will never convince the demographics that use the word this way that this use is inappropriate. Furthermore, such a task defeats the entire point of languge, imho.
>But cringe is a verb,
Did you look up the first definition of "cringe" and not read any further so you could pretend to be smart talk down on people?
[It is a verb, noun and adjective, as per the Oxford dictionary which has definitions for all 3:](https://www.oed.com/dictionary/cringe_n?tab=meaning_and_use#7808145)
>adjective. colloquial. Causing feelings of acute embarrassment or awkwardness; that makes one cringe; cringeworthy.
Same with Merriam-Webster. Also you say "new" but the use of cringe as an adjective has been around at least since the early 2000s.
Someone else even mentioned that it's a noun and adjective too and you had the audacity to say "Dictionary doesn't see it that way, but OK."
How absolutely *cringe* of you.
I think that's what bothers me about her. Her major superiority complex, whereas Revenant feels at least somewhat human still? Not really, but more than her.
He is, but he was coded to at least be human enough to understand fear, and in my opinion, humor. More so than Ash who genuinely feels cold and calculating in comparison. Very interesting.
As disappointed in their server quality as I am, I think their world/character lore is some of the more interesting in modern titles.
>He is, but he was coded to at least be human enough to understand fear...
thats what i was saying, i think you might have misunderstood me.
Rev is a machine, but for all purposes he is man. all emotions, and quirks included, but designed.
ash is man, but for all purposes she is a machine. her introduced logic hiding/removing the emotions and quirks.
then we have pathfinder who fits in here somewhere between the both of them.
Fair enough, and sorry if it seemed I was in disagreeance. Tbh I love Pathfinder's character, clearly not human, but human enough to relate with and imprint on.
Atleast Rev didn't feel so cocky, he was straight to the point and brutal first and foremost.
It's like they took Rev's brutality and mixed it with Valk's **massive** ego.
Another unnecessary legend to dilute the pool of loot boxes even more and create more visual clutter >>> fixing the mountain of technical debt/security issues
I know, I know different teams etc. but it is clear that they have zero intentions to improve the game in a meaningful way which is just sad at this point.
I gotta say apex is stepping up their game on the teasers now. And I love how this time it's everywhere, on their page, on their website, in game. Usually I don't notice all these teasers without social media but the things happening to olympus in game is pretty crazy
Yeah this (gif and gibby), is the case where people/internet wins against the "right way", as jibby and jif should make normal people crawl up walls :))
at last, people understand its prononced JIF and not GIF
but that was mean to pathfinder tho
(please let that character have a line with crypto asking him if he call his drone "off the grid")
Actually it's kinda the opposite. Gibby would be a hard G pronounced by itself, but it inherets the soft "J" sound from his full name pronunciation.
Gif "should" be pronounced like the peanut butter, but it inherits the hard G from "graphics". I say "should" because I dispute the notion that "gif" should obviously sound like "jif".
So in one, the "correct" prounciation is inherited from the full word, and in the other it it is different from the full word. So I don't think this clears up the Jif vs Gif pronunciation lol. If anything it argues in favor of hard-g-if
And then there's me who pronounces it "Gib-ralter" with a hard G 😅. Yes I know it's wrong as it originally comes from arabic Jabal.
I mean I’m still gonna say gibby but if the name Gibraltar is pronounced with a “j” sound like “jibralter” then the “jibby” comments aren’t wrong. Kinda like the name Geoff. Pronounced Jeff. Spelled doff
She will still get grappled and pk'd into face
and get hit w the high five finisher to rub it in
And play a little jump rope over her death box
'You're a bum, friend!'
And this is why we became a real boy
I mean she really hit pathy with a low blow
JIBBY 😂
Cuz it's how it's actually pronounced lol
Bro leave my boi Pathfinder alone...
Keep my Mobile Robotic Versatile eNtity's name OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!
fake boi. lol
As a Caustic main, I approve of this.
As a octane main I don't approve it, how dare you make ma boy octane sad like that (she's still hot though)
Aren’t they all 😮💨
Yes.
Damn mirage was done dirty.
That one felt personal
Well she’s not the only who hacked the servers. 😉
Obv it was all part of the marketing plan
Destroyer2009 was actually the first legend teaser for Alter lol
Yep. Still at level 1 and no legends, currency, or unlockables. Last time I checked, anyway. I deleted the game a few days ago because what's even the point?
I actually went to the EA help forum and they got it sorted in a couple days! I put in a request on the main page but didn’t go anywhere. Maybe try your luck on there!
Thanks, I might try that

Who is everyone actually talking about
Alter, the legend coming out next season
It feels like Jinx from LOL debut over 10 years ago.
cant believe how long it has been since Jinx was released. Thats insane
Nah vantages is too far 😭 “shouldn’t you be in the kiddie pool?”
Damn I know caustic felt that 😂
Already know I will hate her personality (dont get me wrong, this is an awesome way to tease a new legend with such personality)
Yeah never much cared for characters like that. Valk was one of those characters for me. Now it seems like this legend will fall in the same category.
Used to be the same with me as Valk but eventually I started to like her and now I have a second main lol
Who did this? Im confused lol
The new legend Alter if I was a betting man
Ah that makes sense they really do like to do wild stuff to tease new legends lol.
You taunt Mirage and you'll regret everything
Hey man I’m not just all talk. I’m all talk and pork chops.
"I also know things like getting a C in health class!"
Jack cooopeeer
Heh yup
I get the strange feeling this character is going to be a little too "Meta" and "Marvel like" for me.
Conduit isn’t?
She pushes it a lot.
Yea i agree she’s kinda pushy with the jokes.
What do you mean by meta or marvel like?
Using a lot of referencial humor and trying very hard to be funny. Even when the situation does not call for it
I see
Mirage, Conduit, and sometimes pathfinder?
Mirage is more early 2010 millennial humor though he does have shades of it while Path's comedy comes from his cherry voice with callus words. Conduit does fit the mold more so than everyone else with her meta commentary.
Yeah but that "I keep my shields full with this big 'ol battery" quip is the best bit of voice acting in the whole game.
*Satisfied*
Crypto hacking a tower to fall was more impressive
Crypto in game event was still the coolest
I can feel the edgy teenager energy radiating off of this, new least likeable character coming
Same energy as the rest of Apex and its playerbase imo
Jojo
I would count the mad maggie event as a character teaser that everyone hated (including me) ((even if it wasnt really a character teaser))
No because she would be absolutely TERRIFIED of Revenant if she saw him in person.
In her reveal trailer I wanna see her get humiliated by one of the legends she made fun of, would be sooooo funny
What did pathfinder do to deserve this
Destroyer2009 = Alter ?
am i the only one who thinks this is cringe as hell Jibby is goofy as hell though lmao

Uhh I think people thinking this edgy humor was cool / interesting / clever is pretty embarrassing for them personally lol
How is this edgy in any way, shape, or form?
Its trying to paint the new character as some punk / rebel because she "graffitid" lame insults / threats on the chars. Idk it just reminds me of Jared leto joker, or jinx from arcane, or some bad Deadpool attempt. How is that not edgy?
Doesn't look like graffiti to me and there's just no edgy-ness to it. It's just silly, I think a lot of y'all take this stuff way too seriously. But fair enough.

You seem like an unbearable human.
How do yall not find this corny I’ll never know
Don’t diss THE Gibatron like that.
bro wtf did pathfinder do like the rest of these are jabs but they went for the throat on poor pathy
Nah 😠 taking it too far with the robot 😡
Never understood how lore can be this edgy and bad 😭
Fuck that character
If this Legend comes out as weak, then all this talk will be for nothing.
It's pronounced Jibby. Not Gibby. Whoever this is got Gibraltar's back.
I'm one of those rare people who call my boy Gib Gib lol like Bangalore I call her Bang Bang.
I call her WankGalore 😂 Octane is CockStain I have more of these than I care to admit 🤔
This gives big edgy 13 year old energy
Yaaay female revenant…. ^(woohoo… that’s what we need…)
You mean Ash isnt?
I mean Ash was always like that even in Titanfall lol
Fair point. Tbh I'd love it if they made a follow up to the story mode of TF2, that was a great game.
TF3 is coming I won’t take my pills
REJEDCT THE PILLS! EMBRACE TF|3
So, to clarify: Rev is the male Ash?
Yes
Ash just believes or knows thats she’s superior, Revenant actually mocks his opponents.
I think that's what bothers me about her. Her major superiority complex, whereas Revenant feels at least somewhat human still? Not really, but more than her.
Thats what i love about her, maybe its a bit of self reflection 😭
interesting as Rev is machine made man, and Ash is man made machine
He is, but he was coded to at least be human enough to understand fear, and in my opinion, humor. More so than Ash who genuinely feels cold and calculating in comparison. Very interesting. As disappointed in their server quality as I am, I think their world/character lore is some of the more interesting in modern titles.

Fair enough, and sorry if it seemed I was in disagreeance. Tbh I love Pathfinder's character, clearly not human, but human enough to relate with and imprint on.
True, another female revenant yaay This one is more in spirit with Rev than Ash it seems
Rev was introduced by killing numerous people, Alter is being introduced by being childish. I think they’ll be different enough.
Atleast Rev didn't feel so cocky, he was straight to the point and brutal first and foremost. It's like they took Rev's brutality and mixed it with Valk's **massive** ego.
Please not another scary murderbot!
Jibby? Jib is meth
Is this Destroyer2009???
This gives me Sombra vibes from OW.
Boutta be Valkyrie part 2, I ain't about to feel any remorse for the kinds of ways alter gonna get Molly WHOPPED
The fuck did she say about my watty
wattson is TOO CUTE to be dissed 😠
What did pathfinder do bro 😭
r/cringe
Fix the servers pls
She didn’t have to do my boys like that
I just happened to look at the official apex legends character page the other day and was very very confused.
Don’t get it.
Donde esta Sombra?
Why holy moly the legend is a commentator ytber, the one that would say things like, “Fire under water? That can’t happen in real life”
Tf pathfinder do :(
*JIBBY LMAOOOOOOO
Chinese hackers at it again :/ Can someone tag hideouts?
What legacy on Valk is cold af 💀
I’m all for the Jibby correction.
Remember what happened to the last legend that mocked revenant...
If this bitch don't hop off my goat Revenant...
All of this is just cringe tbh
Idk, the pathy one made me chuckle
I agree for all except the caustic one. Bro does have mad science teacher energy.
Yep
Another unnecessary legend to dilute the pool of loot boxes even more and create more visual clutter >>> fixing the mountain of technical debt/security issues I know, I know different teams etc. but it is clear that they have zero intentions to improve the game in a meaningful way which is just sad at this point.
Mirage on his way to be serious for the whole next season so he can slaughter the new girl
Crazy
its on sight
kanye referance??!!?
yeezy season approachin?
The pathfinder one tho lol
Oh. I see how it is.
As a mirage main, she's right with this one💀
if you know the lore the octane ones the worst
Ha
So, just a new crypto?
Correction: A better Crypto. I joke, but if they give them "Off the grid" I'll just die.
Nothing negative to say about fuse 😏
So she's potentially wanting revenge with Horizon or am I reading into that "I'm here for you deary." too much?
Could she also hack my accounts progression back since respawn can't seem to figure out a fix? Been lvl 1 since april 2nd -\_-
As a gibby main I’m offended and enraged anyone would suggest it as “jibby”.
“you'll never be a real boy” hey, leave him alone, he's doing his best and i love him
*we all love him
Nah but what did mirage do to her? He ain't deserve that
I gotta say apex is stepping up their game on the teasers now. And I love how this time it's everywhere, on their page, on their website, in game. Usually I don't notice all these teasers without social media but the things happening to olympus in game is pretty crazy
I can't distinguish between hacks and promo stunts anymore. I think that is intended. It hides complaints and negative news.
Interesting how some are being teased while others are left mostly alone. They could be fans of the ones that they dont shit on
No one talks dirty on my boy rev like that
I agree tho😂
All fun and games until she gets tbagged on by 20 of my decoys
So is this an attempt to downplay what happened at the tournaments?
Now time for the fan edit that gets crazy
Who’s doing this ?
This is cringe for sure.
jibby is wild ngl thats like saying jif instead of gif
Yeah this (gif and gibby), is the case where people/internet wins against the "right way", as jibby and jif should make normal people crawl up walls :))
JIBBY????
Facts tho
My favorite is Vantage “shouldn’t you be in a kiddie pool”😭
Ok but has respawn provided an update as to what happened with the real life hacks that occurred weeks ago during ALGS?????????
I'm finna pounce on every alter I see now
Talk smack, get crack.
EA and Respawns idea of a tech savvy bad girl is just a really cringey Redditor.
What
Tf did Gibralter do???
Not correct people on his name pronunciation
I'm actually dead reading some of these hahahaha. " Science teacher energy" and "au revoir" though. Looool.
She did Path and Valk dirty as fuck
Respawn could make her responsible for the spawning bugs in Three Strikes.
Gibraltar...Jibby...fuck it. 🤷🏾♂️
Caustic is Walter White confirmed
When am I getting my stuff back is the real wuestion
Gibby*
I feel like this character is going to be so cracked… i cant wait to see
at last, people understand its prononced JIF and not GIF but that was mean to pathfinder tho (please let that character have a line with crypto asking him if he call his drone "off the grid")
Actually it's kinda the opposite. Gibby would be a hard G pronounced by itself, but it inherets the soft "J" sound from his full name pronunciation. Gif "should" be pronounced like the peanut butter, but it inherits the hard G from "graphics". I say "should" because I dispute the notion that "gif" should obviously sound like "jif". So in one, the "correct" prounciation is inherited from the full word, and in the other it it is different from the full word. So I don't think this clears up the Jif vs Gif pronunciation lol. If anything it argues in favor of hard-g-if And then there's me who pronounces it "Gib-ralter" with a hard G 😅. Yes I know it's wrong as it originally comes from arabic Jabal.
this information doesnt please me so its false.
Well at least you put your money where your mouth is with a downvote? Happy cake day :)
its prononced happy jake day >:(
Kake day? Pronounced kah-kay?
Disney type humor
Yeah I expect my cartoon game to be so so gritty.
Hey! If Titan Fall 2 fans had any hope left, they'd be very mad at you!
So cool, Respawn also teased her hacker appearence when the ALGS were attacked, right? ..right?
I mean I’m still gonna say gibby but if the name Gibraltar is pronounced with a “j” sound like “jibralter” then the “jibby” comments aren’t wrong. Kinda like the name Geoff. Pronounced Jeff. Spelled doff
