EA and Respawn, this is a big reason people are angry

So Respawn or EA in the unlikely event that you read this I haven’t spent money on Apex in forever yet have continued to play it. Why? Well you never just sell skins by themselves anymore because you’re too greedy. I’m not going to buy an expensive bundle when all the stuff is filler junk and all I want is the skin. #2 I refuse to get anything from these slot machine events and actively don’t support them. If you want our money be fair about it and don’t leave what we purchase up to chance. Otherwise you’ll be getting $0 from me always. Your legendary skins already equate to an exorbitant $20 so why the extra greed? Your EA CEO made 25 million this last year😂 Oh…the amount of good things I could do to help the planet and people with that money. Too bad income inequality is so bad and a bunch of selfish people own most of the world’s wealth. Shame on you Respawn and EA 👎 Would you also mind fixing the 120fps mode on consoles? The game is a blurry, unplayable mess and the current generation consoles can support higher resolutions at 120fps not sub HD. People who have tracked the resolution have found it to be below 720p. You actively did something wrong and are too lazy and don’t care to fix it.

  • @reconzero It's more the fact that it seems like all they do is shovel out $$$ skins/cosmetics and don't do anything but swim in their Olympic sized pools full of the money they make from all the people who buy it... I've also vented about how they need to do more, especially when they clearly have the money to do something, but servers are still the worst in the universe, cheating/hacking is still rampant, game is still a mess thanks to poor matchmaking/bugs/glitches/other problems that have never been tackled... You get the idea...

    @Midnight9746Even before that. Before the new Evo system. Back when the gold armor was a thing. I much preferred gold armor over red btw.
    Back then, he was pretty useless.
    The only squad callout was by drone view marking a flag, which some places you can't see a flag.
    I like the new version, anytime you enter or send out the drone get the notifier, that is nice.
    But the main way I use him is banner recovery and instant use of respawn beacons, whereas everyone else is 5-8 seconds (ground-MRB)

    A few years ago, when they gave crypto and ash free during the anniversary event, I was able to revive my allied lifeline while using drone view. Drone got shot then lifeline left, but I was able to attempt it.
    A couple weeks later, the drone could no longer revive in drone view, and still can't.
    If only they'd add something like that back.


    Idea: Partnership Upgrades:
    Each Legend has upgrades they offer to their allies, tailored to each ally.
    Lifeline could get a revive shield perk from NewCastle.
    People could get invisible revive and respawn from Mirage.
    Crypto could get drone view revive from lifeline.
    Crypto could get attack drone from Ballistic, allowing him to slot a third weapon, an unmodded sidearm, to use on his drone, using ammo from his inventory. This would disable the primary click cast ult and instead fire attached gun, using the normal ult cast button(s) to cast ultimate. PC = Z. You can naturally do that but most people like clicking to cast ult.
    From Bloodhound crypto could get a perk to change drone view click from ult to a recon dart that scans in an area around it, or revealing a directly hit target for a few seconds. This dart would have its own cooldown.
    As such, some perks cannot be used with each other, because of conflicts like that.
    Octane could get boosted revive speed from Lifeline.
    Etc.
    Got any other theoreticals?

    That anniversary event was the one during Vantage's season, because that's when I started playing this game.

    @Zulkiers The problem with getting perks based off of the other legends, (like Crypto being able to use his drone to revive when Lifeline is in the squad), would be the balancing and how many legend combinations there would be.

    In other words, Respawn would have to add a perk for each legend combination and then balance those combinations to where they're not overpowered. This isn't something I see them doing as they're still having issues with keeping the current abilities balanced.

    Keep in mind that the playerbase keeps coming up with a new meta, and Respawn then has to balance things to keep the game fresh. With Bloodhound and Bangalore, they both got nerfed to where they're not as useful together anymore, and using Alter's portal to avoid a Crypto drone EMP is no longer possible as teams in the ALGs used this to quickly push players without being slowed by their Crypto's drone.

  • I think people are mad because . . . 

    1)  Matchmaking is broken and has been despite the blog post from almost 2 years ago and EA/Respawn are doing nothing about it

    2)  Cheating is out of control and EA/Respawn are doing nothing about it

    3)  Smurfing is easy and all better players/cheaters do it and EA/Respawn are doing nothing about it

    4)  Server performance is sketchy and EA/Respawn are doing nothing about it

    Seeing a trend?

    @Zulkiers I play as LL, and enjoy support the most. I'm not a killing machine but have found my place as a good support team member that can clutch from time to time.
    The guy that told you, you could have a 1000% more damage is probably the guy that would leave you behind for some extra damage stats. As well as someone that will bail on you the minute they realize their missing out on a little bit of damage. And as you stated... he did bail.
    Ego player.
    I have had the few matches playing with a good crypto player that knows how to use his kit and I tell you, makes a world of difference having one on the team, helping and looking out for their squad members.
    Kudos to you! : )

    It would use the same skill system as we currently have. Gain a level, choose a perk.
    You would get extra options by having others in your squad.

    @Zulkiers The issue would still be balacing and the amount of perks they would need to add based on the number of combinations.

    Let's say there's only 10 legends.

    That's 9 different possible perks a player could get, (since they can't get one from themselves).

    Then if they could get a perk from both teammates that's 18 different possible perks a player could get, which then means there's multiple different combinations depending on the teammates a player gets.

    See what I mean here? There would be too much to consider and to balance out.

    You have the current perk system.
    Add perks from teammates that you could choose.
    It's easy enough to balance just like the current system.
    I don't see the big issue.
