Apex Team ignores keyboard and mouse input on consoles?
I've installed and uninstalled the game several times, and it's always for the same reason: there comes a point where keyboard and mouse players are overwhelmingly superior, and it's incredibly frustrating not being able to match their skill level no matter how many hours I practice. And despite all the time and complaints, the Apex team hasn't implemented a keyboard and mouse option on consoles. Beruthien, could you respond?Regarding the Drop System
I recently saw the survey via the in-game QR code. However, I must express a profound sense of crisis regarding the current focus of the development team. In a PvP game, the "roots" consist of the following three pillars: Fair Matchmaking (Addressing the mixing of Squads/Duos/Solos and rank gaps) Security (Elimination of smurfing and cheating) Healthy and Stable Balancing (Characters and weapons) The POI system was originally intended to complement these core pillars. Making superficial changes to the drop system while ignoring these fundamental issues will never resolve the long-standing problems of this game. Why did you switch to the POI ? Did you achieve its objective? Why did you revert from POI back to Jump? If you are looking for hints to solve your problems, do not ask the users; ask the people you work with. Pose these same questions to your subordinates and colleagues. Customers will not provide sympathetic survey responses to comfort you. They view you as professional electronic artists. Ask yourself and your teammates before asking me.This was my first and last post.
I think it was late spring 2019. My daughter said she wanted a PS4. She said there were used ones for cheap on Yahoo! Auctions. I bought a PS4 in response to my daughter's request, even though she doesn't usually ask for much. I gave it a try myself. Apex Legends was available for free. I tried it. I was excited. The COVID-19 stay-at-home order was issued. I was hooked. After that, I played it whenever I was at home. There were various changes in specifications and configuration with each season. I didn't particularly mind. For some reason, this and that caused the number of players to decrease. I didn't particularly mind. Last night, I cooked dinner, ate it, washed the dishes, and then played. I was still as timid as ever. It was annoying. But it was fun. Dear EA developers You guys are true legends. Thank you for making such a fun game. Respect. One last thing Season 1 Dinosaur Skull Badge Could you give it to me... I promise I'll keep it a secret.THE RANKED ARE SO BAD
Honestly I would like to tell you, the ranked dropzones seemed interesting, but honestly it turned out to be completely different in my opinion, I'm a master for a few times and now I'm seriously stuck in diamond because every time I fight with someone another team comes to me in less than 1 minute, you can't do anything in peace and it sucks, put it back as beforeLegend class idea outline for MUCH later (Feb. 2026 update)
As Apex legends brings in more legends, the Recon roster will grow. Instead of having it grow to like 15 legends. I think it would be better if they eventually bring in a Hunter legend class. If it existed right now, Seer, Sparrow and Crypto would be the only 3 Recon legends, which wouldn't really make sense to me. I think some legends would fit more under Hunter, but they should stay as 1 class for now. I personally think Seer now belongs under Controller due to his unmatched crowd control. If a Hunter class existed right now. It would consist of Ash, Bloodhound, Vantage. and Valkyrie, What I wanna know is, what would Hunter perks be? Here are some ideas Stack Arc stars in 2 Scan enemies around your squad on melee (This might actually encourage players to put themselves in bad situations) You have a dedicated optic slot in Wildcard. I came up with that as a Recon perk long before Wildcard existed. I think it would fit more for the Hunters.What is necessary to improve the pick rate of Controller-class legends
My proposal will drastically increase the pick rates of Controller-class legends and bring true diversity to Apex Games. I love Controller-class legends, but to be blunt, they are currently a "bleak, bottom-tier, and miserable choice" in Solo Queue Ranked. Almost nobody uses them, and their current state is tragic. Additionally, this proposal will significantly reduce disagreements within a squad, providing a clear benefit to all players. What is necessary to improve the pick rate of Controller-class legends is not to strengthen "Invasive Actions" by Controller-class legends. It is to enhance "Defensive Actions" by Controller-class legends and rework the matchmaking system itself. Additionally, if random POI drops were to be reinstated across all ranks, every single drop location on the map should have a "Ring Console" added to it. Otherwise, a massive disparity will occur. As for the current dropship-style deployments, I believe it would be beneficial to slightly increase the number of "Ring Consoles".Buff mirage??
I always loved mirage. A simple and fun legend! But I also gotta admit he has bad endgame potential. One of the things I always wondered was if you could maybe make fake revives or healing sounds? Maybe a bit to op but just something to think about. (Edit) just wanted to ask one more thing. I always wanted to have the firing range get a tiny rework. Nothing huge. Just a change to settings or maybe even a new section."Why I am demanding these improvements"
1.Those playing at the exact same time as me 2.And who are in the exact same rank as me 3.And who belong to the extreme minority of "base-defense" players Some claim that finding such players is incredibly easy, but I strongly disagree. To use a rough analogy: if there were an expanded matchmaking system like in Overwatch, every player—whether they are ultra-aggressive, strategic attackers, or base defenders—should theoretically be able to be placed in a squad with others who share their same tactical philosophy.What is the go??
Just finished a control match, was in the celebration screen and left then was given a 10 minute timeout?? And why is it that one game I hit every shot then the next I can't hit the side of a barn and it feels like somebody turned my aim assist off? and I'm dead before I even see the opponent on my screen? This game could have been top tier instead it's just unplayable through ridiculous choices and ridiculous rigging of it. Maybe some consistent gameplay would keep player count up? Maybe make your game good and people will play?? Maybe put some content out instead of 3 garbage $20 skins out and people will play.. last update was an absolute joke, honestly, it's insulting.. I'm over being manipulated, with your abhorrent manipulative mechanisms.. am I not supposed to notice one game I hit every shot then the next game my gun flicks up down every which way and I get fryed in 0.2 seconds?? Time to pick up another game, have fun hemorrhaging players and money from stupidly, good job
Apex legends New weapon ideas
I would like to see ideas you all have for new weapons, specifically ones that come with very unique playstye and don't side grade off some other weapon we have. To start this off I'm going to pitch my new weapon. Class Shotgun-marksman Playstyle High skill ultraclose range and mid-longrange(with skill) burst damage Name: Casket TB Features: the Casket TB is a double barreled shotgun that fires two rounds before reloading, boasting high damage at 125 with a very high hip fire spread requiring extremely close quarters to make this gun effective. However there is a twist! Aiming down sights converts shots into slug rounds with high velocity (about that of a sentinel) that deal high damage 81 body 50 limb and 130 headshot(You may wonder why the strange numbers but this allows two tap potential on all legends if you land a head and body shot) Hop up- Thermobaric Blast: hipfire shots become fiery explosion blasts that destroy doors, deployable objects, ignites close range enemies, and creates a pool of fire on impact with a floor. Thermobaric effect has a range of three meters Use case and play style: this gun is the ultimate close quarters weapon the high spread makes it extremely effective at very close quarters and at midrange with the ads slugs. However, due to its low ammo count and extremely high spread this gun is not one you want to be caught out of cover with. You must hit your shots or be overwhelmed which is where the Thermobaric Blast comes in, allowing you to ignite floors and control space around you as well as giving it breaching potential. This weapon also functions exceptionally as a psuedo marksman/sniper rifle requiring extreme skill as long as you can hits those shots with only up to a 2x sight. AIM FOR THE HEAD Please let me know your thoughts or weapon ideas 😃
Leave Ranked as is and give Us this...
Apex Legends is a wonderful game, with unmatched movement expression, addicting gunplay and a rich lore background set in the Titanfall universe. With all of the platitudes out of the way it's time to get down to the nitty gritty, RANKED! For many years Apex Legends had the best ranked system for Battle Royale games, and it wasn't close. Slowly over time the game began to show decline in player engagement, and this led to a shake up for the game and radical changes. Ranked was one of those changes, the Ranked system saw a shift in season 13 which was a step towards bringing ALGS style scoring to the masses. The change was received well with Pros and high-level players looking for a bit more competitive challenge aside from just a kill race style format. Apex later modified the system that season and continued to tweak Ranked here and there until another major shift in season 20 adding a rookie division and reshaping the point/matchmaking system. Later seasons also saw changes such as adjustments to KP and the most recent Dropship/POI system. All this to say that Ranked has been through many iterations over the years to no one's satisfaction. Some may think we need yet another system overhaul to ranked and that hopefully this change will be the one to bring Apex Ranked back to its former glory...I disagree. For the longest time I too believed that we needed to restructure Ranked to satisfy the competitive hole. No longer do I have those beliefs and have come to a conclusion. Apex should leave the Drop Ship and point system in Ranked as is but create a new mode a competitive/tournament mode. Introduction to ALGS or a "Tiny Tourney" set every weekend based off of a mix of MMR (not hidden) that can change based off gameplay in Ranked. Leaving the point system of Ranked the way it is and allowing players to play the way they want in Ranked but with a secondary motive of reaching a certain level in order to compete in the Tiny Tourney weekend. Adding to the Ranked experience and at the same time providing the scratch to the itch of ALGS downtime and also acting as a steppingstone for players into competitive. A tab that updates every game giving players feedback about their game's success and failures. A fresh new number to strive to improve upon other than just your rank, which has lost its luster over the years. EA driven tournaments that incentivize players to still have fun in Ranked without sweating every single match due to the MMR not being hidden, the transparency will give players the feeling of improvement with no pitfalls of confusing matchmaking to get in the way. The tournaments will be held on Saturday and Sunday the two most common days for such events. I am no Dev and cannot give the logistics of how exactly it will work but a rough outline would be holding a sign-up phase at the beginning of the week and a cut off the day before with a set number of spots on first come first serve basis. The groups would be broken down into ratings brackets, since MMR isn't hidden players will see their ratings as well as others. Players would be grouped from a range for example someone with an MMR of 90 would not be matched with a player with a 40 MMR, though if they had 70 MMR that would be within the parameters. Filling a lobby with 20 teams and no more than a total of 30 difference in MMR to keep things fair and balanced. The prize pool for said tourney would not have to be some massive dollar amount, in fact simple Apex packs or skin cups that other game (who shall not be named) have done for years. This would allow players the freedom in Ranked to play their best when their best is required without changing the Ranked system so greatly that it is unrecognizable, while adding a fresh new aspect to the Apex Legends experience that is needed. In closing, this is a love letter to the once proud Apex Ranked system that I knew but understanding that with any love it was a moment in time and we can't ever go back to those times because it's impossible to recreate that lighting in bottle. Although just like a love grows over time and you constantly find new ways to fall in love. My enjoyment of the POI system in Ranked showed me that my favorite part of Apex is the fast-paced high octane (not the Legend) intense gameplay during end game. That is the closest I ever felt to what I watch on ALGS Sunday when my favorite team is fighting and clawing to win and prove themselves the Apex Champions! Please EA/Respawn allow me, no, to allow US this opportunity to experience that thrill and add a new layer to the game we loved and try desperately to still love. As stated earlier this is love and both parties must be willing to compromise and make it work while trying new things and being transparent. I wonder if I'm the only one who feels this way and if not, I hope it reaches all those who do and maybe bring about a new dawn of Apex for all to enjoy.Cronus and Titan Users
I have seen on a previous post that there was a large ban wave of Cronus and Titan users.. Truly I don't think that really means anything. Unless you are full Console/PC banning... Are we doing MAC and IP Banning? The reason I ask is, once you "ban" these people who are operating with these third party tools, wont they just create a new account and continue doing the same thing we as player base has complained about for years? Really it comes down to accountability, these people will continue to cheat and go against EA's Terms and conditions. "Banning" their accounts won't mean anything if they can just spoof another email and create a new free account. I believe I also read somewhere EA was taking action against these big companies in regards to the cheating problem, however due to loopholes they are still able to operate... Why not just change/update terms and conditions and its wording to include these tools? The sentiment is nice, and its not an easy game of cat and mouse finding and removing these exploits. However, there needs to be accountability, and unfortunately its at a point where it needs to be harsh. Everyone is at the point where we cannot tell a cheater from a good player, and that ruins the fun, and ruins the game. We need change, start fully removing these people and I'm almost sure people will return. Take care of your real player base, start giving real accountability.
Does Anyone Else Use Lighting Effects?
Just wondering if its an issue with my PC or if it is happening to other players as well, but my keyboard and mouse won't use the Apex lighting effects, (and when I restart the game, the setting would automatically turn itself off). I know my keyboard and mouse are compatible with the lighting effects as The Sims 4 and Fortnite will take control of my keyboard and mouse's lighting and I had the lighting effects working for Apex before in the past. For those who don't know, the lighting effects changes the color of the keyboard and mouse based off of the environment and other game events. For example: When selecting a legend, the lighting will match a color theme for that legend, (a purple color for Wraith, greenish-yellow for Octane, etc.) When healing, the lighting will go red and then light up green from left to right, taking over the red, (which it does this with reviving as well) When moving to a different part of the map, the lighting will change to match the area When getting knocked, the lighting would flash, go out, and then be red While not really important or needed to play the game, the lighting effect is just something I enjoy. Its also possible that its an issue with Razer Synapse, (although I've already tried repairing/reinstalling Razer Synapse).
