The disappearance of Split 1 means I'm not buying seasons ever again.

First time posting here, because man, am I livid.

I've been playing Apex Legends since season zero, and have hit level 110 on every season... until now.

I play other games besides Apex, and for the past few weeks I've turned my attention away from it - with the intent to return and earn the reactive P2020 skins once I had the time.

(I earned everything in Split 1 except for those P2020 skins.)

So imagine my disappointment when logging in today and realizing that Split 1 is completely gone; completely replaced by Split 2 and an entirely different rewards track.

I seriously thought that Split 2 was going to add levels and rewards on top of Split 1. I thought I would be able to reach level 60 in Split 1 this week, and then continue on with Split 2 as if this was all one normal-length season.

In other words, I thought Split 1 was Battle Pass levels 1-60, and that Split 2 was levels 61-110.

I was even prepared to purchase Split 2 under that assumption.

Repeating for effect.

I was prepared to purchase Split 2 under that assumption.

But if this is how Apex/Respawn is going to handle Battle Passes and reward tracks moving forward - with two half-seasons that cannot overlap or combine reward tracks...

I'm done. You've lost me as a paying player.

I simply do not have the personal time or drive to dedicate purely to Apex in order to unlock everything in the Battle Passes under this new formula.

I'll consider putting money into the game again if things change in the future - either by returning to the old way of ranking up Battle Passes, or if how I thought it would go becomes the norm.

    Hey @MadPanzerguy,

    With the changes to the Battle Pass, these are indeed two completely separate Battle Passes as you've found. Similar to two separate seasons in the past there would be no crossover, sorry this wasn't clearer for you beforehand.

    You're definitely not alone there and as with any newly changed feature we're certainly keeping an eye out to see how people feel about the update. Thanks for the feedback, we'll pass that along.

  • @MadPanzerguy The thing is, both splits has 100 levels. Its doable to finish 60 levels, and a slight grind to do 10 more levels for a split. But, to finish the remaining 30 levels, you'd have to grind the game 24/7.

    This isn't fun for anyone, and this is something I've gone over in another thread as well. I'm also someone who has more time on their hands, and even I didn't finish split 1's pass. I hit the level 70 mark and gave up as there was 3 days left of the split. I don't know a single person who went up 30 levels in Apex without spending money.

    Going into split 1, a lot of people assumed it was going to be 60 levels + 10 bonus levels. This would of meant that for one season, it would of been 120 levels + 20 bonus levels, (being 140 total levels).

    This was not the case. There's a total of 200 levels, (40 of which is to level up split 1's badge, while the other 40 is to level up split 2's badge).

    In my opinion, for anyone who hits level 60, you've "finished" the pass and if you hit level 70, you've "completed" the pass.

    If they're going to make us grind 100 levels per split, while giving us little time and not enough challenges to complete the split, they should do what Halo did and make the passes permanent to complete at any time.

    Another thing as well, is that when split 2 dropped, all the weekly challenges from split 1 disappeared. It would make sense if we were going into a new season, but we're not. We're on part 2 of S22.

    @SceptileSquad_YT When did you buy the battle pass? Because you might of bought split 1's battle pass on the very last day, (which would expire and switch to a new pass the next day).
