Re: Still not sure why there are no solo's (Hoping for a respawn/EA response)
You said
"As far as a solo mode, we do not have any info regarding plans for adding that at the moment."
How could you not have any info? It's one of the most complained about issues in this game (besides hackers on PC). The sad truth of this all is that Respawn created this problem, and now there is no info on dealing with it?
Let me expand a bit on that statement. I have come to realize that a huge part of this issue (lack of actual team play) is due to "stats". What's the most displayed stat? KILLS. Since Respawn put an emphases on this one stat, players now just want too hot drop, get 2 or 3 kills and move on to the next game. Because of this stat, players will quit out if they can't use their "Character", cause then they can't add to their KILL count.
want a very simple solution to hold the game over till Respawn gets around to giving us Solo's? Add 2 permanent stats to a players card, "Total Games Played" and "Total Wins".. When I say TOTAL, I mean a combined total using every character. This MIGHT change the mindset a bit. Players would now be a bit embarrassed for others to see "8,163,781,623" Kills, but yet only 4 wins.. That embarrassment MIGHT encourage them to play to win, instead of playing for kills. And by "playing to win" I mean actually using strategy, actually looking for places to land to best serve the goal of the game, actually playing as a TEAM.
Now do not get me wrong, this is no substitute for actual SOLO mode. This is just something to hold the community over till RESPAWN gets their priorities in order and gives us SOLO's. Personally I LOVE new weapons, new characters and I very much look forward to a new map, but I would be just as happy having all of that postponed for a month if I was able to play SOLO's.
So please, have a talk with someone higher up and really let them know our dissatisfaction with the current state of this game. I, like millions of others, do not want too see this game become another PUBG. A game that had a lot of promise, but the company didn't take the community concerns seriously. Which resulted in players leaving to go to BLACKOUT, FORTNITE and now APEX. At some point someone is going to come up with "The Next Big Thing", wouldn't it be better to keep us, the players, addicted to APEX, rather then seeing us leave?
