Apex Packs

Apex packs are obviously a huge part in keeping players coming back for more of this game. Getting free loot just for playing is, and should be, one of the main drives to not only keep players, but bring more players in. This is where I've come to the sad realization that, as we level, we are only going to get 40 apex packs for playing the game. Once we hit max level, we can only get these items through purchases. 

Now don't get me wrong, I think loot boxes aren't all that bad as a purchase. However, part of the fun when it comes to a lot of games like this, is being able to get rewarded for playing on a constant basis. I know it's kind of like dangling cheese in front of the mouse to get him to run through the maze, but it works. To me it just feels wrong that we don't have the ability to keep earning more boxes for our time spent in the game.

My only real request on this, is to simply be able to constantly earn exp. even past max level. After we reach a certain amount of exp. we receive a pack. I'm probably alone in this, and I don't mind if people disagree with me, but I'm just trying to think about players that are like me. The ones that can't afford to buy packs at all, and that once they hit that maximum loot potential... where do we go from there? Sure the game is fun, but it be nice to actually have a chance to get that skin we really like, and be SOL if we didn't in those few we did get.

  • Let us buy apex packs with Legend Tokens? 16 to one is the rate of caustic and mirage (750 apex coins) = (12000 Legend Tokens) so for 100 Apex coins = 1600 Legend Tokens for an apex pack :D

  • the only issue there, is we face the same issue, I don't think we get any extra apex coins after we stop leveling. I could be wrong about that, but since you only get apex coins on level, I am not sure where we could keep getting them. Could do the thing I said and make it so every so much exp we get coins, which I'd be cool with honestly.
  • see I was unaware of that, so yes it works out rather well then.

    I'd be 100% down for this. At the moment I'm sitting on 42k legend tokens with nothing to spend them on.

  • Yeah they sure have to add some kind of progression system to get skins. Maybe even let us get crafting crystals by playing so we can work on the skin we desire without having to buy 1k packs to get it. People who like to buy packs will buy them anyway and people wo won´t buy packs won´t buy them anyway.

    I personally bought 20 packs already just to support the devs. and I guess the season pass will cost something, too. But that´s it, I am not one of these persons who would spend 500$ on a video game just to get the super wraith skin. So to be clear: I am done with buying packs, the rest will be season pass. And if the game lacks a progression system where I can work on the skins I desire by just playing the game, it will probably become boring and I will quit it sooner or later.

    Or you know for free game that offers thousands hours of gameplay and you are going to stop playing because you are not getting FREE cosmetics? I think problem is in you caring more about opening lootboxes rather than playing game
