Downhill

At this point who are you developers trying to appease I have played apex from drop love the game I have been nonstop playing it as of until a few seasons ago it was such a good but I can't even be on it for more than a couple matches anymore without walking away it's so stale and what are the devs doing you guys have had to of made so much money off of us with your ridiculously priced cosmetics why do we barely ever see any change the ranked mode which used to be my favorite is absolute garbage now its camper heaven and third party heaven.you create crappy new game modes but there is no character progression when you kill people and you guys take the best things out I want a solo ranked mode cuz the teammates I normally get in ranked suck but that will never happen each season is a draining 3 months long and the new season looks horrible no new legend no map changes at the seam I just don't get it yes I know it's free to play but by now it's a multi million dollar game put some effort into it where is cross progression we would like a solo mode or a 4 man squad mode or something new team deathmatch isn't fixing what looks to be a very bland 3 month season but unfortunately you guys probably won't even look at this I went from playing almost 2k games a season to now maybe 200 and there are alot of people like that eventually it will just be a dead game I used to wake up early when a new season dropped and it felt like Christmas now I'm just shocked at the lack of content please do better from someone who used to no life your game

    First: sentences.

    Second: I understand why people are frustrated with the rank changes that came along is s13, but I still have to say that they make perfect sense if you can accept that the point of the game is not to farm kills, not to farm xp, not to do whatever random thing it is that people do... but TO WIN. The current rank system tries to encourage people to play the objective. If that doesn't mesh with someone's personal playstyle then that's more on the player than the dev. Yes? No?

    Third: I too would like to see a solos playlist, though I don't necessarily see any benefit to having it be ranked. But I can tell why they'll never do it: for every player they have now coming to these forums (or reddit or twitter or their own livestream) and complaining about their horrendously bad random-match squadmates, they would have that number of players times 1000 complaining about all the "cheating" in a solo playlist.

    "New season looks horrible...." I guess it's an "eye of the beholder" thing. I'm pretty excited about the changes to the firing range. We just got a new map last season, so a new one now seems a little fanciful. I don't care if there's ever another new legend. We already have too many. Ditto new guns, although there will be one. A permanent ltm playlist seems like a big win to me, especially for people such as yourself who seem to crave variety. Yes? No? And I know why I think TDM is a complete waste of time, but I'd be curious to know what you think is so wrong with it - or are you saying it's good but just not enough?

    They dont even have west coast servers in ranked matches above platinum. Literally 1 minute queues even though the match quality is complete *. People that play at high levels are willing to wait for real matches. I would drop this game in a heart beat if i could find another competitive game thats active and uses a controller. CoD doesnt count.

  • Can someone please recommend some good games to play instead. This game is * miserable solo.  

  • It's 2023 vocabulary is overrated and I don't mind the idea of tdm I just don't like them taking arenas away for it one less comp game mode I'm more talking about the ltm they keep releasing like the valentines duo mode there is no stat tracking so its kind of a waste of time and I understand why they don't want solos but at the same time the matchmaking is so crap lol its needed and the ranked system is better for survival but it also leads to camping which leads to the thing apex has been failing to fix since day one which is the amount of third partying that happens in the game

    No stat tracking = waste of time? And here I always thought gameplay was its own reward....

    I agree we need solos. I agree matchmaking is crap. I'm not at all convinced that the former is a solution for the latter. Pretty sure you can have crap matchmaking in a solos gametype. Pretty sure you WILL have crap matchmaking in a solos gametype, if one ever comes along.

    Lastly: third partying is not a problem that needs fixing. It is a legitimate strategy and a design feature of all multi-team games. If third partying is a deal-breaker for you then there's a serious possibility that you invested in the wrong game.

    @reconzero Matchmaking is the single biggest issue with this game for casual and 'average' players. Nothing else matters all that much to me as a solo queue player with a KDR around 1.0. I didn't play hardcore and I won't play a solo mode because I am just not good enough to win 1v1s with any consistency or carry a squad.
