Hello @BinGeHD a fellow Chinese player as me,
I do appreciate your serious writing on this matter.
As the 1st replier, I am gonna say,
The problem with is this game is simply too WILD. Zero effort to register. Free download. Then Rock & Roll, Here you go, do whatever you want, sir !
I play Overwatch on Blizzard & Netease's China server. The title used to sell at $39.99, then when I bought it, the price is $29.99, then it became $14.99, and then became even more cheap.
To be able to play Overwatch on China server you'll need a Blizzard's Battle Net Pass, which requires your Chinese ID, your Chinese phone number, your email, and your Alipay account number.
You see you need all 4 items just to play Overwatch.
In fact, I first start to play on Netease's Battlenet for Hearthstone, it is a free game, but you still need all 4 items to register to play.
It is quite rigid, a good system, decent one, with quality feel, not some wild game on Origin that any scum can play.
This Apex is just too wild.
Could anyone tell me what is Respawn and EA thinking ? What do they know and don't know. They know everything right. Maybe they don't know how to make a decent gaming environment.
I'll tell you what they were thinking bro. "This game won't be that popular." Their reasoning for thinking that makes sense because they didn't do a big sales pitch like EA does for other games, maybe EA will start to realize their sales pitch is not what gets gamers into games, if a game looks good enough to try on twitch we will go try it, I came from Overwatch because I wanted a shooter that wasnt revolving around 600 hp monkeys and characters like brig in the game. Apex has a great design its just a flaw in servers, and the way they are updating things. The hackers came due to popularity, a lot of them are hackers trying to make money off selling accounts or people who suck at games and are desperate to look good or ruin your game.
Yup @dontgrillmeTTV that's another point.
This is a very nicely designed game without much advertisement and old ways of propaganda. I just heard it from a friend who plays Hearthstone and Overwatch with me. Then I tried it and really loved it then I met some hackers, then more and more of them.
I agree with you. Looking back some time later definitely it is more and more plausible that Devs were surprised by the success of the game. Other AAA games that included BR mode did not have such success and quickly saw player pool reduce. Looking at what is going on now, it seems, as i believe you implied, that more efforts are put into the game. It just takes time.
As far as cheating goes, it is not only related to people trying to make money off selling accounts, or to look good, it is also related to keeping stream viewers engaged because of the "crazy" on spot aim that kid has matching so close an aimbot, and the outstanding game sense that kid has which is so close to what an ESP can offer. There are good players, but when in a game there are so many outstanding players something does not add up --IMO, I think it is a statistical fact.
Eventually, a mistake is made and then we read and watch videos on Reddit about that "poor soul" who got caught red-handed cheating on Apex while streaming. LOL
Easyest way is to give Battlepass owners their own cue. Than give Players below Level 50 their own servers. If you do that you will get rid of 80% cheaters in your own games gg
