Anyone Else Getting Ping Spikes?
Like the game will run fine but then ping runs up to the thousands & gets laggy for a bit?

Why do you always need to make it look so complex lolol.
The technicalities aren't of any interest to most playing Apex, what is infuriating is the lack of acknowledgement, one will provide obvious evidence, and you're made to look as if these issues are your problem to deal with.
The. servers. are. bad.
That being said, that's not up to the end user to try and troubleshoot like idiots. I've seen one post on reddit, where EA told the guy to change providers, you have got to be kidding me! - @Lord_Scorpion34 Here and there but it was not a huge issue over the weekend.
@DoYaSeeMeThey didn't have a problem openly discussing the golden goddess wraith skin for people to exploit amongst other things before a fix though. Even after the alt f4 exploit warning they announced publicly people carried on abusing it and were able to keep their badges in season 3..
Where does it say anything about them looking into it?All i see is they're investigating more slow mo server complaints which hardly addresses the main issues that people are going on about and something they've been looking at since S1 with the introduction of code:net/nut/wheel ect names so they can locate where the problem is..
Some of these aren't as bad as before for some users but still there occasionally and the game running at a slugs pace not being able to use abilities, pick up items or generally trash simulation of what the server acknowledges to what happens on your screen isn't on trello or anywhere else officially unless you can provide a link?- @Gabrielmojo26 Because it simply is complicated, I know this firsthand. Few care about technicalities, but these things shouldn't be disregarded. They can prevent you from overhyping and wasting money on false hope, lowering your expectations to realistic levels.
Being asked to try things on your side is not saying that the problem is on your end. These things are important to isolate the issue, by ruling out other potential causes. This does work sometimes, you can find cases in this forum where local changes like bios updates, driver changes, resetting connection, repairing game files actually fixed the issues.
Servers are bad, maybe. The issue with legends disappearing is almost certainly not a server one, you will probably still have it even if playing on LAN. But, it can theoretically be happening if those skins are in a place on the drive that has some hardware issues or is a bit too fragmented. A local repair may fix this or at least bring the hardware issue to your attention, if there is one. So why not try it? Takes minutes, if your connection is perfect.
That thing with changing providers can be legit. Each provider has deals, so they can use certain routes with priority or exclusively. This can force others to go through unreliable nodes. I've experienced and seen ISP shenanigans many times and the ultimate solution was to change. - @apostolateofDOOM so if they openly discussed about an issue, advertising an exploit, they should do the same with all other issues?
Investigating the slo-mo is important, that is actually server side. The cause of it can also be the culprit of many other bugs we see (no regs for shots and loot pickups, freezes, connection timeouts, stuttering, rubberbanding, etc.). I think they should add more detail to that trello card though, like "related bugs". - @Lord_Scorpion34 Im connected with cable with a decent internet and all of the sudden the game goes into slow motion and stays like it for sometimes up to 5 min. I have no idea what it is but my guess are some kind server issues since all of the players in my team comment on them
@DoYaSeeMeThey should name it ''performance issues'' as they're still currently separate problems until proven otherwise. Not all issues but the main ones that people have been complaining about since launch.. Probably.
This is why i expect disappointment in their next Q&A.
- @Lord_Scorpion34 Okay good to know I am not the only one
@DoYaSeeMeFrom an article on happy gamer.
''For a company the size of EA – and with Apex Legends as their flagship shooter – many in the community expect better server performance. Of course, EA’s servers aren’t brilliant for their entire fleet of games, including FIFA and Battlefront.
There has also been a long discussion about improving the tick rate of Apex servers, mostly in the competitive scene. Apex currently runs at 20hz, that’s significantly less than other popular multiplayer FPS titles.
Whether or not Respawn and EA are going to focus on server improvements is another matter entirely. The game is out on Nintendo Switch in March (and supposedly mobile later this year), so that’s probably where a lot of their efforts are going.''
Mobile? With their focus on that then i doubt we'll see improvements in the near future as an extra market is a higher priority than stable experience so it's not something they can't do it but they won't because they're focusing on something else. I might be late to this but Apex on mobile lol. RIP.- @DoYaSeeMe You're right. Spectrum isn't the best so it could be an issue with them. I want to switch to Google Fiber. But servers have been trash this season also.
