3.1 Patch notes discussion!

The leave penalty screens are still completely terrible.

There's seems to be a complete lack of empathy from Respawn toward players who are saying "I have been banned for leaving a match when I thought it was okay to do so".

Players who don't rage quit are saying that they are being banned for leaving matches unjustly and I think you should listen to them. You must deliver a solution that is infallible because it's your game design that is impacting the player and not the other way around.

When leaving a match, the burden of responsibility has to be shifted to the player. So that there is absolutely zero chance that anyone could accidentally leave a match without knowing, for absolute certain, that they will incur a penalty by doing so. Player must be in no doubt about this situation.

It is not something players can experiment or play around with, as doing so could mean being banned for a long time. There's no second chance.

When leaving will result in a penalty for a player the screens should go like this:

1. A screen with red text that simply states that the player will be penalised and for how long. A button with 'proceed to quit?' in red.
2. Another screen with 'are you sure?' and a reminder about the penalty. A button with 'still proceed to quit?' in red.
3. Then the quit button screen flashing and in red.

When it's safe to leave without penalty then just have a normal 'would you like to leave now?' screen.

Respawn/EA can you please bear in mind, that Apex has some seriously challenging issues for players on PC. I suspect much more so in Asia and Europe than in America. There is a colossal amount of cheating on PC and no international boundaries between servers at all. So banning players who are not rage quitting is just completely cruel in light of these other circumstances which are already testing players to the limit.

Many of us 'honest' PC players love the game and still play, in spite of a great deal of the challenges I've mentioned. We shouldn't be getting banned for nothing on top of all this.

ALSO. Has the system now reset? Some of us have already had massive bans.
