Apex Legends : Quality of Life Improvement Requests
Apex Legends : Quality of Life Improvement Requests Welcome to the Apex Legends quality of life thread, collating all the various little mini improvements people would like to see into one giant thread that I will update semi regularly with additions from different people. These are little things that would make the gameplay feel more seamless and give people more control over their experience. The thread is a mixture of improvements that I've thought about and other suggested by other members. I've struck through suggestions that have been addressed, or are no longer relevant. WEAPONS Weapon settings Add a weapon settings tab while browsing weapon skins, this would include: Default fire mode Specific weapon sensitivity tweaks Favourite sight for weapon - When pinging I need a sight in the menu UI you will call out for your favourite sight.

Must be lvl 100 to unlock assist mode. This is allow experienced players to play with new players without bringing them into lobbies that they are not ready for, hopefully the restrictions are enough to stop these players from reaping too many kills in early lobbies. More restrictions could be added to further reduce their combat effectiveness. LTM's New LTM's every 2 weeks. More simple concepts like: Mozambique only Armed and Dangerous - Shotguns & Snipers Pathfinder-Only solo's mode Instant ring death mode Fully Kitted drops mode Arcade mode - Where shields recharge automatically 30 v 30 mode These are just a few ideas to get the ball rolling, please submit your own and I will add to this list. I will tag people that forwarded the idea, but I may occasionally edit the suggestion to be more concise or more inline with something Respawn can actually do. Get suggesting!
Need Indian / Middle East Servers
Hello Respawn / EA! WE LOVE THIS GAME! But boy oh boy do we need servers in India or Middle East. It's a well known fact that ping is a huge issue when it comes to FPS games and for players sitting in India / Middle East, the best option is either Singapore or EU where we get 100ms+ and 150ms+ pings respectively. How does this effect game-play? Interactions are delayed - Picking up items, weapons, shields Delay in doors opening / closing Delay in opening supply bins Bullet registry delayed Delay in using hero skills Delay in switching weapons and the list goes on..... The bottom line is that having a ping disadvantage is undeniably a huge drawback which is why we need servers in our region. We have both AWS as well as Google cloud (both utilized by Multiplay) which makes setting up the servers feasible in our region. We have 14000+ signatures (and comments) on a petition requesting servers in our region. So what are we waiting for? Let's make this happen for all the players and fans in our region! Sincerely, A Dedicated Apex Player P.S.

Limit on free Apex Packs (forced to pay for loot boxes)
I'm making this post because I don't see anyone else talking about it. If you're like me, you may have noticed a reduction in the Apex Packs you receive after level 20. This confused me at first, and I decided to look more into it. So, it turns out that the level cap in Apex Legends is at 100. And, between levels 1-100, a player will only receive 45 Apex Packs for free. That's all you'll get. Yeah, they do have an over-leveling system, but you only get Legend Tokens from it. And, outside of unlocking characters, Tokens are useless. You can't buy Packs with them, and the skins in the store require you to first obtain the legendary variants of them. These legendary skins you can buy with real money (about $20 a piece). Otherwise, you have to be lucky enough to obtain through Packs. Or, get enough crafting materials to unlock them yourself, which are also randomly obtained only through Packs. Honestly, I had been absolutely loving this game up until now. But, finding out that leveling will only reward me so much makes me think, "What's the point?" And, I feel any game (F2P or not) shouldn't strong-arm it's players to spend more money. Especially when you're not guaranteed to get what you want out of the purchase...

No, all weapons in Apex Legends use projectile-based mechanics with bullet travel time, except the Charge Rifle, which is hitscan. Is there bullet drop in Apex? Yes, all projectile-based weapons have bullet drop, requiring aim adjustment at long range. The Charge Rifle (hitscan) has no bullet drop. Is there a damage drop-off? Yes, most weapons have damage falloff at extreme ranges, reducing body/head/leg damage. Does each gun have a predictable spray pattern? Yes, weapons have fixed recoil patterns that can be learned for better control. Is there aim drift? No, Apex Legends does not have aim drift; aim is consistent unless affected by recoil or movement. Do different guns affect movement speed? Yes, heavier weapons (e.g., LMGs, snipers) slightly reduce movement speed when held compared to lighter weapons (e.g., SMGs, pistols). Does taking damage slow you down? Yes, taking damage causes a brief slowdown, except for Fortified Legends (Gibraltar, Caustic, Newcastle), who are immune. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apex Legends Champions and Abilities: There are classes of legends to define what they can offer inside the game.

Tips, Tricks and cool stuff.
Hi, with a game so new, the community will be learning together to discover useful tips, tricks and cool things as we play. Please add anything to this thread that you would want a new player to know! 1. You can scramble up walls a surprising distance. If you jump at a wall and hold the jump button, your Legend will scramble up and mantle over the top. They can make it up quite a distance, the wall in the pic below can be easily scaled for example, as can many single-storey buildings I didn't catch this on my first few games, and I found it's great for repositioning, escapes, or for saving time on basic traversal. 2: The color of the damage text shows your opponent's armor. If you shoot someone wearing armor, you get a little icon to let you know that this will be a harder target, but did you know that the color will show what level armor they're wearing? Nail a headshot and the damage will show as yellow. No Armor: Red Level 1: White Level 2: Blue Level 3: Purple Unarmoured Level 2 Armor Also, bonus tip, when you loot armor from a vanquished foe, it'll be topped up! So if you took a beating to your Level 3 armor and you're out of batteries, you might consider trading down. 3: Use those Balloons See those big red balloons dotted around the place? You can zipline up them and glide where you want. This of course can be used to cross the map fast if the circle is closing in, but it can be used in combat and ambushes too. Boost up solo or as a team and drop above/behind the other squad to get the jump on them. You can use them to escape a bad situation too, but make sure you distract your hunters first, you'll be an easy target on the zipline. 4: Kick the door down. Many don't know that you can break the doors in this game. Either use grenades or employ your melee to smash the door out of your way and make an entrance! So, is there anything you wish you knew when you started, any wisdom you want to impart to future Legends? Tell us below!
adding recent/players on apex legends
Playing the pc version of APEX LEGENDS and I currently donthave friends to play with so when i get into a game and fancy playing another game with the previous teammates the UI/UX design doesnt incorporate recent players and just makes it hard to add people. Please include this into the UI/UX design asap as this is a game where you have to play with 3 people. cant really solo and its currently hard to add new players.Welcome to the Creator's Corner
Hey guys, we've seen lots of folks posting great videos, awesome art, and coming up with some fantastic Legend concepts. I just wanted to add a couple of things for folks to bear in mind. We have feedback boards for existing Legends and game mechanics, you can post your ideas about tweaks and changes there! If you're posting someone else's content, please credit them where possible. If your content contains profanity/swearing please tag that in your post. Thanks!
APEX private servers
APEX private servers I had a nice chat with one of the EA customer support people and I was told I should express my interest on the forums, as they could not give me any information at this time. So I would like to express my interest in being able to obtain private servers for APEX as the company I work for hosts tournaments for universities and there has been expressed interest by a large number of players, that they would like to play in an APEX tournament. Due to the large number of players and the premise that it is for universities using current methods of running an APEX tournament would make it lose a lot of it's integrity. Anyway thought I would express my interest on this subject, I hope there is a plan to release private servers or give other the ability to host it them selves in the future. Thanks.
Dive trails needs to be permanent, please!
Dive trails not permanent?? im actually just finding out about this and I’m pretty upset. There’s different styles so what’s the point on not being able to keep your HARD earned 0.2% community reward. I pushed so hard to masters this season and I absolutely will not be putting my friends and myself through that mental stress again all for somthing that NONE of us get to keep...I just don’t see the point. I should have just gotten to diamond back in season 2 and never touched ranked again I guess. Long nights wasted for a 90 day beam trail when others are grandfathered in for LIFE, which is cool they should get to keep what they worked for, so why can’t I? My salt is real with this one. It’s not like it even says in game it’s a temporary reward! It’s only stated in the devs season 3 rank reward patch notes\ breakdown. I pray this changes but knowing my luck it won’t
