How high does her passive go when you double jump, is it the same hieght as horizons tactical or is it a little higher than a regular jump
You can fly straight up for 8s if you want. That'll get you quite a lot higher than Horizon Q. Not sure why you'd spend that time tho.
Amazing! Will it be back in rotation for Pubs as well?
I don't work on map rotation, but as far as I remember it's Olympus/WE in pub rotation, with I think the usual Olympus only time for when a map receives changes (whenever we do a map update, we make that map exclusive in pub rotation for a week or so)
When does patch notes usually release?
Usually the day before the patch goes live or so.
I tend to avoid leaks in general because I dislike learning about stuff outside of official information, but during the hype of an upcoming season there is a lot of information that comes out at once. It's hard to discern what is true from what is not.
We (mod team) are pretty strict on allowing spoilers to respect the wishes of both the community that doesn't want to see them, and the team at Respawn. Apart from the stuff here, we aren't exactly sure what is allowed to be said and what was leaked under NDA (e.g., the incident with a streamer this week, which you undoubtedly know about).
This Bangalore rumor came from Twitter, and I was quite confused at to the motivation behind that - but I'm glad it's false.
Yeah unless it comes from a reputable news source or directly from one of us, I'd assume it's sus.
still getting picked in the ALGS.
But what has happened to his stats in pubs/ranked? I feel that should be the standard for how a character is tweaked
He is still absolutely one of the strongest characters in low level pubs. The less people know how to play around the gas, the stronger he is. At the highest level we have good data for last I checked he dropped from literally third place to.. 6th? 7th? Something like that. Still above average. He's fine.
It’s gonna be a rough ride for us Crypto mains
Everyone gets passive and at least 1 use of their tactical to start with. For Crypto, 1 tactical charge = 1 Hack life. You can deploy/recall your drone as much as you want but if it get's destroyed, you'll need a second charge to deploy again.
passive should be free imo
Passives are all free. We did playtest a version where some Legends had to buy their passive but ultimately went with everyone gets it for free. Also, everyone starts with at least 1 use of their tactical
So there’s still gonna be hit enemies with Bangalore smoke challenges?
Nothing is changing at all about Bangalore.
Never believe a word Titanfallblog says. (Except about Loba's bracelet. That we are trying to fix.)

But here's the thing: it turns out the Caustic nerf was fine. He's still performing solidly, still getting picked in the ALGS. It knocked a frustrating, overperforming character down to a healthy level where he's still usable and powerful in the right circumstances. We would not have gotten there had we taken small steps and found 2 or 3 times that we didn't nerf him enough. It's always best in game design to take big swings and adjust back down.
Daniel,
I really appreciate your engagement and I love what you guys do. Your comments below are my frustrations with Horizon at the moment:
“...she cannot just negate the cover you're behind by shooting at you from the air. That would break a lot of what makes Apex combat good.”
Personally I think removing strafe in the gravity lift, increasing the volume slightly, and maybe even going as far as removing the ability to heal while using the lift is in order. Maybe a phased approach would be best in that oder to monitor impact of each change to see if the next is necessary.
Thanks again and keep it up!
Yup, that's getting fixed.
Wait so what's the point of the jetpack then? If it's too slow to manouvre to avoid enemy fire, and you can't accurately fight even while it's disengaged, the only use is for repositioning while not in combat? But since the br maps are so horizontal with very little vertically in most places, and it doesn't give you much horizontal movement inline most other movement abilities, it's just to enter a few buildings and get over a few ledges? So basically like the revenant passive? I'm not saying that's bad, it would probably be too overpowered otherwise, and it seems like this is a very well balanced legend from what I've heard so far, I'm just making sure I understand it right.
Play her on May 4th and let me know ;)
Great to know, one news site is spreading fake news
Never believe anything Titanfallblog says.
Oh man, this is exactly what I was hoping for, she's got a lot of space for skill expression it sounds like. Not just lateral but vertical strafing, with the option to cut going up at any time. There's a ton of space for mix ups there as well as taking crazy flanking routes. Out if curiosity do we know what the volume of her engines is like?
LOUD
I know this is about the damage with ensuing rockets, but will that arcstar-like stun effect increase in duration with multiple rockets that hit?
Nope; it'll just be refreshed, so it'll count from the LAST rocket impact.
new screensaver. Thank you.
This is just sad
That's not what our data and our own playing on live support. I'd also point you to SooXFar's videos on Youtube where he shows off how incredibly powerful Mirage can be in the right hands. Here's a good video example: https://youtu.be/n6eVD4-gMJM
Appreciate the detail! If you don’t mind sharing, about how long is the cooldown after she fully depletes her fuel?
I don't know that I ever mathed that out. For design like this, precise numbers are less important than playtest to playtest feedback. It sure feels like it takes a good long while, but of course you can start flying again before your fuel is completely full.
So it’s like just max 25ish damage? Or 25 for every rocket?
25 for the first rocket, 3 for every additional rocket (or 2 if you're Fortified). Don't quote me on exact numbers, but the TLDR is it doesn't really matter if you hit them with one rocket or four, you'll roughly do the same damage.
We've seen a couple developers confirm a ranked mode for Arenas will come in the future, maybe Season 10.
Can we expect to be able to play against our friends as well in the near future? Kinda like a custom lobby for Arenas. I feel like this would be huge!
Not at launch, but it's something we want just as much! Can't say anything more than that.
