    Why cannot people just play the * game as intended?

    Play squads with randoms, rarely does anybody want to stick together.

    Introduce solos and people squad up?!

    I'd troll the crap out of these players if possible Respawn. Marshmellow bullets? Don't let them pick up ammo? Something that hampers their game play considerably would be a great "fix" lol.

    people are teaming up in squad mode and people are also teaming in solo mode, do you not see the pattern? People want to team up, and the ultimate team up is what? CO-OP Mode!

    All 60 Apex players teaming up against monsters or (maybe 59 players vs 1 hacker, coz I hate hacker)

    @EA_Blueberry Second thoughts, don't discuss how to combat it. Just scrap it and blame the players. Other issues require the resources imo. Don't waste time on a mediocre game mode. Stick to your guns.

    Yes it's ok, but it's not ground breaking or anything special. Either leave it as is or just do away with it. Don't waste manpower on an after thought game mode.

  • please fix the solo mode, simply not allow players that played together before for to be matched in a solo game. problem solved

    Just set up standard 30 sec timer on everyone who queues up.... in this timeframe enough people already should have queued too so you can randomize hundreds of lobbies, which decreases the chance of teamers getting into the same lobby (especially if the matchmaking doesn´t let people into the same lobby who hit the start button within the same timeframe of ~3 sec).

    Make matchmaking search for players that are not on eachothers friendslist. If a player has many friends, queue them up with first in first out principle.

    This should greatly reduce the amount of douchebags.

    I literally just had this happen to me now on the X-box. This is not cool. If someone is on your friends list or played with you in past games it should not let you cue up with them in solo. As soon as my capture decides to upload and I have a chance to review the names I will be posting them for further scrutiny.

  • @ColdHours don't think that's fair at all. Guys that you often play with can provide for more interesting, balanced duels, because you know the opponent's weaknesses, strengths, weapon preferences, tactics. Besides, there's always a form of competition between friends, while team mode is much better for a premade squad. What you ask can increase queue waiting time and take some fun out of the game

    I'd like to actually have the opportunity to join a match with some friends to fight against. First one to die buys a round of drinks to the others next time we're afk.

    I had weird solo game last night, I play caustic, saw pathfinder in skull town, we both behind close door and we saw each other and he start made up-down gesture and we decide to ignore each other and go separate way (we didn't team up).  Then we keep meet each other in gun battle, and he mostly already kill it, I didn't participate then ignore each other again. 

    Everybody hiding in the building, Final ring, 7 players left, throw ultimate into small ring, put all 3 traps, battle start getting intense, then suddenly 2 player left and i see that pathfinder crawling in toxic and die because of it.

    I get mixed feeling about it....I didn't expect he stay alive to final 2 and we actually want to settle at the end, and let one of us die (naturally) because of the ring become the winner.

    So if you're the pathfinder and read this message, sorry for that.

    I thought there was already a thread on this. Any need for another? Or is yours more important?
