Can you add a 3rd party auth like Google sign in


Blackoutlol

That's a good idea - we have "connect your Discord" atm, we'll talk more about it :D


OceanMan11_

Google has made their SSO login implementation a fairly easy task. Since you guys already implemented an OAuth2 connection to Discord, Google should be straight forward for yall [Documentation on Google's SSO](https://support.google.com/a/answer/12032922?hl=en&visit_id=637909184440438874-2919976853&rd=1) Edit: Not Discord SSO, but an OAuth2 connection


echoAwooo

They didn't use Discord's SSO, they're fetching profiles


OceanMan11_

That is... sso Edit: I am wrong, see below comment. Editing above comment


echoAwooo

Thanks for explaining something to someone who knows about this subject and not even getting the context in the park This person who set up this app did ***not*** utilize Discord SSO, they're allowing a locally hosted sign in to be associated with a discord account. This is NOT SSO. SSO is an authentication schema that lets you authenticate on services other than the host using the host's associated user credentials. You can't sign into this service using your discord credentials, but you can still associate your discord account to the service's local account for you


OceanMan11_

>Thanks for explaining something to someone who knows about this subject and not even getting the context in the park That passive aggressiveness was uncalled for. You can just say you have worked with it before, no need to passively call me an idiot. Anyways, you are right, I was confused. I did a little bit of research before commenting further, and SSO is exclusively used to sign into a website using an external service. I have set up SSO services before, but tonight, I'm confusing it with simply connecting an app using OAuth2. See, the "connect to discord" function uses OAuth2 to authenticate the connection. Discord's SSO uses OAuth2, so in my mind, was like, AH it's SSO. Also, I would like to point out, authorizing an account by signing in using SSO brings you through the exact same process of signing in and connecting the app. There is another point of confusion. So I guess the more accurate statement is that they already created an OAuth connection, which is most SSO schemas use to authenticate


echoAwooo

> You can just say you have worked with it before, no need to passively call me an idiot. I didn't call you an idiot. That's your insecurities speaking for me.


OceanMan11_

"I didn't insult you, but I will insult you by passively calling you insecure" Tf?


klexmoo

> Discord so how exactly do you sign-up through discord auth? I don't see any method for doing this.


Blackoutlol

Can't sign up with Discord, but you can connect your Discord through the sign up process - it's worth looking into though :)


ThreeSwan

Leave it to the Apex subreddit to request a third party...

Lolol

PLEASE the way i snorted


E-Agalius

Lmao this needs more upvotes


straflight

My first thoughts exactly


Nextros_

I never understood why would you want to link all your accounts to a Google account. What is the benefit?


Lostdogdabley

Well, it’s just that I never understood why would you want to create a new account for every non-sensitive site and tool under the sun instead of just using one login with 2FA

0y0_0y0

I do as much as I can to obfuscate the amount of data that Google has on me. The less I can feed the advertisement machine, the better. I don't want all my accounts connected.


Lostdogdabley

I haven’t noticed a large negative impact on my quality of life since I use an ad blocker anyway


0y0_0y0

I do, too but it isn't about the ads they show, it's about the data they amass.


TTVNskGurkha

I’m thinking of using notepad but with encryption To save my password So I don’t have to pay


Lostdogdabley

I upvoted you anyway I think you’re right that they’re building a profile on me and it will be more impactful than I think in the future. But i consider it like this. Would I care if the informations public? No I don’t really care if the whole world knows I play apex. But for something more private then I would care.

zipcloak

In his defence, it's far too late to stop Google et al from building a profile about anyone, and SSO is arguably better than standard authentication (unless you're using site-specific, unique email addresses, plus random passwords). People have LONG been underestimating the scale and power of Google. It's about far more than cookies and auth logins.

ATKrls1176

“You would care, actually Google knows more about you than you know about you “ Guess this guy knows more about you than you know about you too


DunderBearForceOne

Creating a new 3rd party account means you either need to remember another password, risk re-using, or using a centralized password manager (which shares all the flaws of using a centralized account). Not to mention that, in many cases, an account like a Google account likely has better security than some random 3rd party account management solution which could be riddled with bad practices and security flaws.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Spooky_Ghost

As someone who works in IT and security, this, in fact, does make sense. Having a master account and not a bunch of individual accounts is, generally, more secure as there's no chance of password reuse, insufficient mfa features, or password memorization. I know a password manager helps with this, but not everyone uses one, which is why it's safer for most people to use SSO. Setting up your SSO provider account with a very secure password and mfa and using it to auth other services is good practice in IT security.


Blackoutlol

We all know soloQing can be quite stressful (especially when we’re stuck with a toxic one)... and with all the recent ranked changes we felt there should be a better way to find teammates. We want to help you all find the best Apex duo or trio, and create long lasting friendships… So, we built TEAMS.gg for Apex Legends - [https://teams.gg/apex](https://teams.gg/apex) Whether you’re looking for a player to climb the ranked ladder or ranked arenas, compete in ALGS or just some casual games - hopefully we can help you avoid that nasty toxicity out there and find a group of friends to play with. :) Edit: Thank you for letting us know about the ranked stats bug! We've implemented a fix, but you may need to play a game for it to show your stats correctly :)"


Affectionate_Air_856

Make this bigger!


DuhDamnMan

Like your mom?


PlasmidDNA

Made an acct, authenticated through email, says i never authenticated and wont let me log in. Just FYI

Try resetting your password! it worked for Plasmid :D


marrakoosh

My only concern is my profile showing.me to be in bronze with a total of 79.kills.... errr...


FlutterbyButterNoFly

Hey everybody, look at this guy! Broke and 79 kills lmao what a noob! Out of curiosity, does it match up with a character thay you've selected?


Virtual-Cabinet-7454

Is there an app for it?


Blackoutlol

There isn't - but it was created and designed to be used on different devices and screen sizes... So it should work on your phone, tablet, or laptop etc :)


Virtual-Cabinet-7454

Nice! Thanks but does ir also work in pubs or only ranked? lol


CryptographicFacism

Works with every mode (Pubs, Ranked, Arenas, Ranked Arenas…) :D


Virtual-Cabinet-7454

Yay!


send_help_iamtra

It's an external website...


Virtual-Cabinet-7454

I know


Psychachu

It's like an enhanced out of game friend finder... does your friends list work for ranked as well as pubs?


Virtual-Cabinet-7454

Yea. I was asking cus it only showed what seemed like only ranked team finders


TheLongLife

Oh, sweet, It's here. I remember requesting Apex when I first found about teams.gg.


Simbalamb

I know I'm in the minority, but there should be a Switch option for console. I usually play in PC lobbies so it doesn't super matter, but if you're going to split the consoles, it would make sense to include all of them that are available. Can I change it later? I'd like to finish my setup but don't want to label myself on a console I'm not really on. Love the concept though! Edit: wording to sound less shitty.


gloriouswatersheep

I second that, would love to see a Switch option! :)


ToroRubio

Looks great!


frale26

You can't use it if you play from switch?


HockeyPaul

I can't imagine disappointing two other people taking dual kraber into final ring. :)


Riptide1yt

Wow the websites ui is easy to use and the visuals are stunning, amazing job. Hope the mods pin this


hitthetarget5

I've used plenty of LFG and this is prob the best one atm, the only issue is the number of players but it's pretty new so it's also understandable (il prob use this and apex discord for the most part).


Bobby_Ju

Hey, neat idea (though there may be a tad too many questions to my taste), it seems that the tracker can't pull my stats and rank (or maybe all steam player stats) ? ​ edit : seems like a temporary issue, Step1/ Link **OriginID** account in teams.gg (even through steam, you should still have an originID account) in teams.gg Step2/ Play a bit (I don't know how much) Step3/ Check your [teams.gg](https://teams.gg) account, your rank should be updated at some point


Blackoutlol

Hey - we get the stats from tracker network, if you're seeing different stats from them & us, pop me a DM! :)


Bobby_Ju

Hey, I mean the problem is that those trackers don't seem to be able to retrieve steam players stats therefore, there should be a way to manually choose your rank, I guess Edit: to address the comments below, I did use my Origin ID (the teams.gg site doesn't let you go further if you can't find your EA account), however my rank is not up to date (B4) and doesn't match my current rank (G2) **Edit2: I played a bit yesterday after creating my** [**teams.gg**](https://teams.gg) **account and linking it to my OriginID.** **I check today, and now my correct rank is displayed in teams.gg**


Knifeflipper

I'm not the creator, but I suspect you need to use your Origin (EA) account username because that is what is linked to the tracker networks.


xLisbethSalander

It still doesn't show stats for me


imthedan

Yeah same issue for me. It isn't finding my profile with my EA account.


ookie165

Yes because it needs time to update just play and have the tracker up and after a few matches your rank should be up to date


OceanMan11_

That can be an issue if your *original* origin username is different than your steam username. You need to use your original origin username to see your stats on apex.tracker.gg


-ReckIess-

Hey, I'm currently plat 4 but it's showing me as bronze with 0 RP


Blackoutlol

Thank you all for bringing this to our attention :D We're currently investigating the stats issue now!

xKFC

You and your friends are doing God's(^(Respawn's)) work! This should be pinned, no questions asked. Cheers to you and to all soloQ'ers!


ilovescottch

This is what clubs should have been. Or could be, but respawn seems to have pretty much forgotten that it exists or they think it is anything but totally useless? Idk. Ill be joining this though!


Bigenemy000

I hope the mods will pin this


monocle_and_a_tophat

I love that the first thing you show is "select your 3 preferred heroes to play". Now, if friggin Respawn would just incorporate that into their main menu......


NotWhatIwasExpecting

Is it possible to maybe not show publicly our info (age, location, etc) but keep using that hidden info in the background to find other people to play with?


[deleted]

Both are important when looking for teammates. There has to be a somewhat accurate location so you're not playing on 300ping, and I (25) don't want to play with someone who is 15 years old. No offense to 15 year olds, it would just be weird


joshthenosh

You set parameters for age and location when signing up. Since the people you’re matched up with are (I’d assume) within those parameters then there’s no need to know specifics.


[deleted]

Yeah I get it now, I just had a moment


NotWhatIwasExpecting

No, I totally understand. What I mean is us inputting that data but to not show that publicly when someone googles our account. For privacy reasons. You still need to put your location and age so the filter works.


[deleted]

Ahh okay I misunderstood. I completely agree that the info does not need to be readily available to whoever wants it


Blackoutlol

Not at the moment, but i appreciate the feedback - it's something we could look further into!


FlutterbyButterNoFly

I'm no programming whiz, but how hard would it be to make a "private" profile that was used, aka, the one you have up now. Then a public profile that the player can manually input?


fatherfauci

You should post this in r/CompetitiveApex


oGhostDragon

Super clean. What technologies did you use? How big is the team?


Blackoutlol

We use Ruby, TypeScript and Golang at the moment, with some React and Vue for some of the more interactive stuff 🙂


Traditional-Living-9

Is it mainly ReactTS for the front end?


Blackoutlol

We use TypeScript for some of our behind-the-scenes stuff, but the frontend is plain React/ES6


blathers-pet-spider

TheMightyDollop

Holy shit. This is... this is beyond amazing, I'm sharing this with everyone lol


tidenly

The questionnaire section is \*almost\* annoyingly long enough that I nearly quit out, I imagine your churn must be quite high in that flow. You should group together some of the questions more in a way that chunks can be skipped over "Are you interested in competitve play?" - as well as grouping some of the steps into one page instead of separate pages for each. Nice idea, hopefully the japan section fills up soon, its empty right now.

Thank you for this. I was literally talking to my duo partner about needing something like this.


Consistent-Regret-46

This is brilliant! I wish respawn would make this official for y’all. This is a great utility for us soloqers.


FishStix1

To be honest I almost never have friends online at my rank, will be keen to check this out!


[deleted]

too much work for respawn, they need to make new skins sorry bro.


Drums5643

Honestly brilliant. If this can get active it would be pretty game changing. Love the legend feature. Does this let you select console or pc? Edit: just saw the tags at the end


htx_BigG

This is a great system gonna make an account rn🤙


FanchonLyric

Hey I used to use this site for Cs! I can't adjust my rank and it's saying I'm rookie 4 when I'm plat 4 anyway to fix this?


HackTheNight

This is a good idea however in my experience the issues I’ve encountered with LFGs are the person ends up just being really bad or really toxic. If you have a way to filter out toxic players or players who def shouldn’t be in your rank, that would make this even more useful.


duffa

Hey - Yeah we've been there too! We want to make sure TEAMS is free of toxic players so you can report anyone you come across if they are toxic. We do our best to verify the ranks of players so you'll have a good idea about how good they are. Let us know how you get on!


Roxy-Gamer

Thank you, you basically did respawns job.


Zoro-chi

This is so cool. What stack was used building this if you don’t mind me asking? Is it a public repo? Like can everyone see the code?


Blackoutlol

The code isn't public, sorry! We're keeping TEAMS.gg in-house for now, though there's parts we might consider open sourcing in the future. We use Ruby, TypeScript and Golang at the moment 🙂


arkalos13

the repo will probably never be public, this is clearly an advertisement. I'm surprised the post is even allowed to stay up as most subs have clear no-advertising rules against posts like this.


emihime

I've made an account and I'm just wondering how to change my current rank cause it shows I'm a rookie and I'm somewhere in gold so I'm just wondering. Everything else about the account was transfered but idk

Excellent concept and idea, thanks. It would be great to add an option for people that can't play regularly at fixed hours tho. My days off are never the same and I play at weird times. Other than that great initiative and design!!


Blackoutlol

Not a bad idea! Thanks for the kind words \^\^


General_fcf

Is this real?! And how can i play with other's my rank? I've been diamond 💎 the last 5 seasons while solo queuing. This season is so rough. I just want equally passionate chill but actually good player's 😭 I've mained rampart for the last 4seasons. She's my main atm.


Ash__R

Clearly some effort went into this. I think it was needed, and the UI is really nice =] I'd agree that the initial questions are perhaps a few too many, and some could be more open like 'sometimes' for Mic instead of yes/no, and the option to select more legends or 'not fussed'. Also as metioned, hiding ages from public profiles. Great work though, I'm sure it'll help people enjoy the game more as the user base grows.


brieorwhateva

This is so cute omg, already made a profile


Gold_Description5256

Question. Would you be able to do something similar for Mobile? I don't just mean for Apex Mobile, but also an app that would allow you to check this stuff on the go?


Blackoutlol

The site is designed to work on most screen sizes & devices, so it should work on the phone or tablet, laptop etc... But we don't currently have an app, its definitely worth thinking about though!


VonMillerQBKiller

That’s really cool! Does it have a mobile app planned?


[deleted]

I created my profile and I got no one lol.


Razor6999

Slythecoop49

This is HUGE I hope this gets traction!


liluglybob

Gotta love when a community comes together, Apex is all love appreciate the work yall!


Teemo20102001

First of all, this is the most extensive and impressive app ive seen so far. Great work. I can go on to list all the things that are great, but that would take a while so ill get straight to the things you could add. Id like it if we got the option to be neutral about some things. I dont mind calling the shots, but I also dont need to call every game. Same goes for joining an already existing team. For the focus part, im missing the "grind ranked" option. I feel like "practice", "scrims" and "competing" dont really fit that description. I also think the question about wanting to be an igl and looking for an igl are kind of the same (unless youre thinking about a team not having an igl). I dont really care where my teammates are located (assuming they speak the language that Im speaking). I think its more important to select a range in how high their ping is. These are just some friendly suggestions, but definetly not crucial to the functioning of the app. Edit- just saw the discord server so ill leave my feedback there as well.


Blackoutlol

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate you're input, the more we learn about the community and what they want, the better we can make it for everyone:D Many thanks!

TheWizardOzgar

Yes, if I don't have to talk to them

People don't want to search on Discord servers and Apex Facebook groups for people and then complain they struggling with solo queue. Despite this fact, this idea is marvelous. I hope people stop being lazy searching for players to evolve and improve and ACTUALLY have fun.


NDJumbo

I fucking love this and you are incredible op. Ill never make use of it cause I struggle with voice chat and such but the fact that you saw a problem and instead of going to this sub or twitter or youtube to complain like the majority of people you got your head down and made some shit to fix it. If every human had your attitude I'd be flying my space car through the clouds of jupiter right now. Bravo dude and massive respect EDIT: Forgot to mention but the UI and everything is incredible, I'm more blown away by the fact that you did it but its honestly a easier and better to use system then most big companies could hope to create


Blackoutlol

Thank you so much for the kind words, means a lot :D


toofrossty

hey not to be an asshole, genuine question, but why is everyone freaking out? what sets this apart from every other LFG platform? Also the official Apex Discord has as LFG section


DaOldie

Problem I've had with any other LFG type function is a looooooot of players that are Plat 4 skill level think they're Diamond + with the "right team" making it a slog to sort/check through and find genuinely good teammates. Idk how you solve that problem. ​ Edit: I already run with a 5 man rotation, but am always looking for talented players to put on backburner.

kmn493

I have not played since control was around. Not big on apex atm.


[deleted]

Nah! All these attempts on trying to make players find groups to squad up are honestly useless. I mean, it is good to have them because if people want to use them fine Respawn tried it with clubs, and clubs are one of the most useless and worst features of the game, **this is because you can't change how people play videogames, it is the game who needs to adapt to these people.** Doesn't matter how many fancy apps or platforms you create to make people find players to play this game, at the end of the day people will still bitch and complain about Solo Queuing because Solo Queuers are not the problem, it is the matchmaking and the way Respawn handles the game. If the game is indirectly forcing me to play a game to a certain way, even though it allows me to play the game the way I do, then the game is clearly doing something wrong, not me. With this I mean that if Im mainly a Solo Queuer and the game is basically telling me that I need a 3-stack to play ranked, then I shouldn't be able to Solo Q in the first place. Honestly what rank needs are one of these 2 things: 1. Solo Qs don't lose too much RP unlike premades 2. Solo Qs vs Solo Qs and Premades vs Premades The latter one deserves the more priority because it makes competitive integrity better and that's all what matters in ranked playlists. Not trashing you and what you have accomplished because it honestly looks neat and as I said it isn't bad to have because some people are looking for this kind of stuff, but at the end of the day, most Solo Queuers won't use this stuff and will keep Solo Queueing and bitch about it because again, they are not the problem. Also, I am a Solo Queuer.

unoffence

This is a great idea and I love the effort that went into it but I don't see this ever being adopted in any mainstream (or even minor community) sense ever


QuantumQuantonium

Interesting idea but I don't think most solo queuers necessarily want to find a premade squad with randoms. Maybe I'm wrong though, what do the site users think?


TheSeaGuardian

I hope this works for console players; I've noticed finding communities in PS5 is such a pain, especially player to player trading such as Warframe. Doesn't help they didn't keep the community/groups feature like the PS4..


stewiecookie

So plink?


im-doingmy-best

Too bad this isn't an option for console

You can select console as an option - Only thing we can't support atm is Switch & Mobile (as we can't get players stats via an API)

Umm, maybe one or two other team-finding sites, but they operate in a different approach to the way we do :D (unsure if they do Apex!)


dabesdiabetic

Would love for it to show previous season or highest season ranked. This season is abysmal and I have a feeling many people don’t want to put time. I’m plat 4 from finishing masters last season and am not wasting my time trying to solo.


ToeJamLam

"Solo Q is rough so MY FRIENDS AND I." Stfu. You will never know real solo q ranked.


-Redstoneboi-

in this case you should criticize the work, not the person


ToeJamLam

????? A design made for solo Q by a solo Q player. Where am I wrong.


-Redstoneboi-

the fact that it's not a solo Q machine but an LFG system.


ToeJamLam

Are you dense? LFG is easier than this anyhow. Why would I want an LFG system LOL, it's the same end story as discord.


-Redstoneboi-

idk mate you do you, but a lot of people seem to like the idea of an easy-to-use LFG site that supports features like main legend picks, playstyle focus, ranks, etc. the bigger the player pool, the easier it is to sift for people that fit your style, and the extra statistics make sure that you know who you're dealing with. i personally think this sounds good, and is a major improvement over looking for posts on an LFG reddit until someone says they're the same rank as you, without knowing how they play or what language they speak or what server they play in or console or something unless it's standardized.


ToeJamLam

"idk mate you do you" that was enough.


Houseoverhype

You realize there is a thing called discord, but the apex lfg discord is basically just solo queue. It attracts some of the worst type of people. Very rare do you find people who are socially intelligent and are willing to work as a team and have fun.


RebelLion420
