New patch
Ok well am done, you seriously happy with handing off napkins to the casual players because wingman too OP, Bunnyhop too OP... while pathfinder is still broken and peacekeeper shreds armors regarding...
Do you know a game called Gunz? It was really bad until player discovered that the unintended mechanics of the game actually make the game better... or how about old Quake where players discovered bunnyhop is a thing and they have kept it... Bunnyhop in apex was unintended but fun, created a skillgap and it was also really easy to learn. reciting patch notes from devs that take away the fun from their game makes no point... but hey, classic wow comes out in August, that game that got so casualized it died and they are re-releasing again...hopefully that will happen with apex too
I invite everyone to do not reply to warslag please
I agree but then we might get banned from forums because it may hurt casuals... actually dont even care am done with Apex: Casuals... Quake my love here I come
Ok to be fair warslag, I know you try to cheer us up and help and I appreciate that, I dont want you to feel bad or argue with us but this is extremely frustrating. We care about the game as much as you about the community as much as you and I apologize to you for overreacting. But I can no longer support the game whatsoever and I just wanted my concern to be heard. I think the more the game will go this way, top players will quit it immediately as soon as something else comes out and the playerbase will fade away.
Well, to be fair to Respawn - they didn't ban anyone for using the exploit, as far as I know. Plus, those players who did consider it an exploit, and who were offended by its use, had to be pretty patient in waiting for it to be patched out. So that's the other side of the story.
Players used 'bunny hop' healing because it gave them an advantage. But, presumably because it was not an intended part of game play, it was therefore considered an 'unfair advantage'. If the whole player base had picked up on it and used it then perhaps it would have been different. But it looks like that was not the assessment that Respawn made, and they have deemed it an exploit because it was unintended game play, and so have patched it out of the game.
The only advantages players should have is in their ability to play - and not in their ability to exploit unintended game play to gain an unfair advantage.
But, sure I acknowledge that in some games unintended game play can be something that an entire player base may do. Perhaps because in the case of 'bunny hop' healing it wasn't widely used that that was why it was patched out.
