How not to let the game die...
Dear Apex Legends Community,
In this post i will be addressing the player count falling and how I believe Apex Legends can make a change to bring it up to levels that were not
before seen. As a player who once loved the game but stopped playing because I just couldn't stand the updates they were bringing into the game as
well as them not fixing the issues that kept bothering me like ranked play. I will try to my best ability to point out what will make this game great for more
people to enjoy it.
More is more. I understand that creating more content may increase the price the studio has to pay to bring out more material at the start of the new
season but this is something the dev team has to factor in. Players don't want to keep playing the same redundant game over and over. I wouldn't be mad if apex for
some reason dropped 4-5 new legends at the start of the new season. So its imperative that over the long haul they create software tools that are a lot more cheaper
to be able to dish out a lot more content for players without having to increase the price or time the studio pays in making them. I will add, If apex legends releases
4-5 new maps at the start of the next season, I'm sure a lot of players who love playing the game wont be mad. There is no reason why a community of players
should continue to have to play the same map over and over again when aggregately the studio is bring in a surplus of revenue than it brought in last season, if the
player count is increasing. In other words, there making more money so them accounting for the fact that they need to keep a player base happy, they should be
prioritizing making sure they can keep up with the demand by creating tools in there game engine to be able to dish out as much quality content as cheaply as possible.
Players might not like every idea the company brings to table but sooner or later they will be satisfied with one or two of the ideas the company dishes out. As a player
who once played this game everyday my biggest frustration was in having to wait 6 months to a year for 1 new map and then not liking it but if they would have put out 4 or 5,
I'm sure there was going to be at least one that I would have loved. Which in turn would have kept me playing the game. The player base does not want to be waiting years for that one
update that they really want and should not have to. So creating cheaper software tools to be able to put more content out for the community in my opinion is the most important thing.
One dev stated that the reason why the studio was not releasing a lot more legends over time was because situations like League of Legends. Were the increase in legends
didn't have players playing them. They were still sticking with a the few that they loved from some of the early seasons in the game. So the Apex dev team was staying away from it.
Although I understand were he is coming from, I would say this. Apex legends is still an early game compared to League. Its still in a point in time were it can scale massively before
that begins to happen, as previous league player i would also add this. They scaled the legends section by adding a ton but kept the map the same which is why i got board. I believe that
apex is at point were more is more. Fortnite understands this and is doing really well because of it. They understand that there making a game not for themselves but for the fans and the fans are the ones that let them know what is that they want. They are delivering on the feedback there getting and keeping a good portion of there player base because of it.
To all those who read this
