The Literal Death of Apex

Not implementing a solo mode—I’m old enough now that my friends and my household has constant obligations that don’t allow me to “squad up” with friends very often or at regular times. I strongly dislike playing with random people as it is such a mixed bag. I am usually carrying my squad with 5-8 kills, while random team mates end or rage quit a game with 1 or 0 kills. Even if I do find some strong random people to play with, I have found the chances that we are ever online at the exact same time and looking to play a game of Apex again very rare.

I want to be on a level playing field with 60 other solo players and see who is best without getting triple teamed by 5 full squads of nine year-olds that all have mics and have been playing together all summer vacation. It truly frustrates me that a solo mode hasn’t been implemented yet, I see hundreds, if not thousands of posts asking for a solo mode.... All my friends have started to move on to other games for this very reason, and I can’t say I will be far behind them.

    @Dragan505 It cannot literally die cause it never literally lived ;0 semantics.

    But I understand what you mean. You share the same thoughts as many others, hope Respawn will adress it soon

    Hahaha! Just thought I would go with an eye-catching and ridiculous post title. I hear the word “literally” thrown around so much by the younger crowd that I thought it might resonate more...

    Hope we get solo and duo modes soon too. I would be interested in seeing if those become more popular than the trio.

    It’s a team game tho they can post all they want solo’s just don’t fit in this game I can see duo but solo’s? Nah but that’s just my opinion lastly since I started in season one I’ve made so many(over 30 so there’s always someone on) new friends in this game by queuing with randoms then adding some of them make a great team...just keep addin new people n You’ll always have people on to play with 

  • I havent played in weeks or looked at the forums in weeks, first thread I see catches me exact thoughts. Sure might get some nay sayers who don't like numbers, but this game is dead the devs simply don't listen no solo, no 4 play, no death match, no other mode thats fun, this game is exact same game as launch with a slight more amount of content most of which is skins. I'm done trying to make an argument im simply not gonna play.

    Always other games out there if you want something different than a team based battle royal after all this game isn't even a year old yet and to this day i still play counter strike 1.6 on the bank map which i have 10k++  hours on one map (( still have people on that server that play daily btw over 150 people and grows each day)) so people will always have different opinions on things but you don't have to have multiple game modes to make a game good i guess is what im trying to say and apex does a wonderful job of being a team based battle royal but i do think still a duo mode would be nice but if not im fine with a three man party BR game

    im not sure if we can call it dead at all actually doesn't matter if its peak or not always people on then again ive played games with a population of 300 and that game is still doing fine and i always find a match within 30 seconds on apex its under 10 seconds so there is a ton of people playing this game and for years to come i have a feeling

    The loot boxes and skins are nice in this game well done actually but i tend to spend money ((micro transactions on games i play))  but other people don't so i understand from my prospective its nice to have some will disagree tho

    A game with millions of players globally is dead.  What games are alive by those standards?

    @Shijai I hear ya, and I am a huge CSGO player on the side, but for a “team” game Apex certainly has a lot of work to do to prove its intentions. I think it is stupid that in ranked mode you only get RP for killing people and time survived, no RP for revives and respawns....
    At the end of the day I like the idea of a more level playing field so that true skill shines through. The idea that BR games are more team oriented is completely wrong in my mind, I think they are meant to be solo games. Games like CSGO are more of a team-based game than any BR title in my mind. I never have issues with my squad mates in ranked CSGO either... everyone plays seriously and everyone is at the same level of skill. Whatever is used to determine ranks and skill in CSGO is sorely needed in Apex Legends.

    Its def happening slowly. Hackers are killing this game and Respawn is going to learn the hard way.

    Usually in the gaming community I am in, squads would be packed right now on a Saturday Night...

    only 6 people are on playing. They refuse to do something about hackers and they all are just sitting in Ranked

    killing the experience. I myself have even started playing other games.
