How is there still no solo mode??

I really enjoyed Apex after its launch. It provided me with a nice relaxing alternative to the very sweaty rainbow6 ranked games. Howerver, because only a few from my crew actually played apex, I had to match with randoms a lot of times... I got so frustrated about them leaving or just being unable to hit a single shot. And as a solo player you can barely kill multiple sqads, cause these knockdown shields are so tough...

So I left Apex determened to return once solo queue was added. I alredy read articles about respawn adding solo mode, so I was quite hopeful. This Christmas I opened Apex again and couldn't bloody believe my eyes... HOW THE ... CAN YOU FAIL TO ADD A SOLO MODE AFTER HALF A YEAR OF DEVELOPMENT! THERE IS EVEN A NEW MAP AND A ... TRAIN THAT DRIVES THROUGH THE HOLE MAP, BUT NO SOLO MODE?

Does respawn really expect me to team up with a bunch of useless randoms that land at the edge of the map to loot for 10 min just to die in the first gunfight they have. And then leave shortly before I pick up their banner! 

And then I read that they indeed had a solo mode in late August?? WHY WOULD'T YOU JUST UNLOCK IT PERMANENTLY, YOU ALREADY CREATED IT??

Well guess I'll log of once again....

Is there a reason to log back on in half a year or will respawn never be able to create a solo mode?

    @StillSalty i feel the same, really need solo mode. and i cant understand how EA/respawn can be so stubborn to not implement it
  • @StillSalty1 year anniversary coming up soon, hopefully they will add a solo mode, atleast let us do kings canyon on solo mode if the new map isn’t fit for it

    personally I would have fun on solo mode with the new map, but i heard they may add map voting eventually and if they ever added that feature I would like to see original kings canyon with the bridges, kings canyon after the town take overs and was destroyed, and then the night mode version of kings canyon as map vote choices, for the current map as far as I know we have the original worlds edge, and the christmas version (same but decorated and the mirage town take over difference) so thats 3 kings canyon and 2 worlds edge options to vote on, if these map votes would atleast be available on solos/duos it would be entertaining, but the map would be voted on by the 60 people before the match started and the one with highest votes would be our map

    Imagine if Respawn let players play the way they want to. Solos, Duos, Trios... I’ve heard some people call for Quads which I think would be interesting.

    being able to play on Kings Canyon day and night as well as Worlds Edge...

    This game could be so much more. If they don’t do something big for season 4 I have no doubt that they’ll lose even more players.

    I used to play every day even if my friends weren’t on back when it released. I lost interest in season 1 as it was just the same thing over and over. Came back 3 weeks before season 2 ended and have played a lot since then.

    But my friends list of people playing has greatly diminished and the few of us that are still playing are threatening to leave soon. If they go then I’m done as well. SBMM matches me up with potatoes for team mates and I’m constantly up against players who are far better than myself.

    i would love to play solos when my friends aren’t on and they agree with me that we should have more modes.

    Respawn, let your players enjoy your game their way and more will come. Keep punishing good players with poor SBMM tactics, cheap ways to reach predator, and a lack of game modes and your game will fail.

    @BabbediboopiYou misunderstood what I meant, the queue stays the same but before the character selection screen everyone would vote on the map we played, then we would select characters and play the game

    i see your point though, adding solos/duos would split the queue but the matches havnt been starting with 60 players lately

    @Babbediboopi I rarely see people say they want all of those different modes and yes I can see how adding more modes would split up the community. But they’ve already done it in the past and it worked. The feedback I’ve seen has been almost entirely positive. If they make solos and duos permanent modes more people will play and therefore solve the queue issue.

    @GCC_Leo @FaIIenAngeI777 


    It was meant to be a joke how we never will be satisfied =)  If they add solo to please people without friends, then the people with one friend will start to demand duos.  And then the solos wanna have the possibility to play ranked and start to demand that. And then the duos want the same and the demands will keep coming forever.

    But on the topic of queue times; I think the SBMM will be a serious problem if they add several modes. Its easy to see that SBMM will significantly increase the number of queues every new mode they add. So I think that SBMM needs to be gone before we even think about adding solos and duos and same goes for ranked.

    So adding solo and duo casual mode without SBMM will only add two more queues in total which should be fine?  But adding solo and duos with SBMM in casual and also ranked mode for both will practically add like 100 more queues or something =)

    @Babbediboopi If they add new modes I agree SBMM has to disappear it will ruin everything tbh and make the times so much longer, I feel like more players would play if they added solos/duos to cover part of the queue time problem but not enough if SBMM i still a thing
