Thanks - This Isn't Fun

So first the event started off with being unable to connect.. okay great... this is typical each update. I didn't expect getting on right away either. Confirmed to be an issue with the game. Its also 100% NOT my Wi-Fi connection either. (So don't blame it, like you usually do, EA Support).

The servers finally let me on about 6 or so hours later. Yet the servers are VERY laggy, and most of the teams have two members. Several matches in a row, I don't load in. I just see the loading screen and then gets slapped with:

I clicked "Continue", and tried to relaunch, then this occured:

Was playing with two other people, and this also occured to one of them.

Your game is completely and utterly bugged as heck, and it seems like there's more priority put towards expensive skins that are mostly not appealing in the slightest, rather than bug fixing and stablizing the game. Like, the Devs patched the Wattson "Easter Egg" emote, where you could place the Nessie on your teammates, even though it DIDN'T break the game or cause issues, but of course, the big issues are swept under the rug.

Edited: Tried to start another match. hit with:

The only gamemode that "works", is Arenas. The playerbase been telling you guys that they don't want Arenas forced onto them, yet that's exactly what you go and do.

@Midnight9746 The fact that respawn have mentioned several times there's a problem on their end that's still unresolved shows the response we get of troubleshooting our connection from CMs there's an issue both with how CMs handle the complaints on the forum either due to complete denial or incompetence by pretending servers and their network is absolutely fine and must be a end user issue.

The even bigger issue though, is everyone will come back like they're in an abusive relationship and stick around handing over their money without walking away from being treated like that.

This could have been addressed a long time ago but there doesn't appear to be any community action which if happened now would likely put the game down with newer titles ready to roll out.

@CCbathwater oh darn you're right...

@Apyhs eh... shrug..

@Systemexe20 Its kinda frusterating pointing out how I don't think the issue is my end, and even state things I've tried and checked, and get told to check it again. It doesn't make sense that I could play other games with 60+ players per lobby/match and have no issue, then suddenly have issues with Apex. Like the ping to the data centers say one thing, and then the ping that shows if you enable the stat tracker thing in the settings, shows something else.

Spot on, it's a "gaming developer" issue. They take in billions and have no support infrastructure. Could not care. It's a "game" right, so it's not a "product" so therefore no support. (And pointing to all developers/game companies out there, all the same)
You buy these ridiculous prices skins, and there is no one to speak to, no number to call. It's just a thank you, Sir, you are now on your own.
Who do you think is funding this hobby of yours? The 5 year old gamer? The 10 year old? No my dude, it is us, the working class. We pay.
Imagine Apex shuts down all their servers after all the money everyone has spend? What stops them? They can turn it off and everyone gonna do what?
I can't wait for some gamer Lawyer to get pissed of one day and start filing a class-action lawsuit in the lines of consumer acts like:
Misconduct,
Equality in unfair Market price practices,
Rights to Fair Value, Good Quality
Right to Accountability from Suppliers
We at the point I think where new legislation should be put in place. This whole industry needs infrastructure and police. Developers do what they want, all the cheating/hacking going on (no one cares), servers attacked on a daily. etc. Its a sht show honestly.

Hey folks,

I'm going to lock this thread before it goes even further off the rails. We're still working on fixing the issues ASAP.
