Apex Legends Season 24 early patch notes: All weapons buffed, massive armor changes, more - Dexerto Really less armor and more damage? As if people didn't die quick enough. Bizarre choices for improvements.

Wow, I am truly convinced these devs have no clue. Just to say - "Then, the balancing team at Respawn has gone all out this season, buffing every weapon in the game with more damage, which is sure to make fights faster." - supports my comment. Do the these new devs even know what a battle royal is? Why would these devs think that we want the fights to be faster? If I wanted to play that type of game I would play COD or many other titles with insta ttk. Battle Royal is supposed to be the opposite of that. This is ridiculous! And of course more wall hacking meta. You guys have no business working on this game anymore. Still don't understand fully the mythic helmet. But from what I read... sounds like only a couple ppl will be able to have it, and aquire red evo as a result? How balanced does that sound. I just can't believe I'm reading this - seriously, they want to make fights faster. Its why after 5 years I barely play the game anymore. Apex as it stands, you get melted in miliseconds now compared to the early days when Apex was great. But heh, lets make ppl die even faster in a battle royal where you get one life. This garbage decision making, would make sense for a team death match, but not battle royal. I am beside myself with the decisions this paticular dev team creates, and implements. Truly convince none of them, none of them... play this game.

Amped up guns, easier targets. It looks a lot like CoD ttks, which is something this game doesn't need. Just makes for more aimbot instakills. Or, if you're a mnk player, more aa instakills. I can hear all the griping now. And I'm sure a lot of it will be from meAs per usual lately, it's way too much drastic change all at once in a desperate attempt to make people feel like it's a new game. But the only thing the game needs to feel new is real anti-cheat and a zero-tolerance policy on secondaries. I admit that one of those things is difficult and expensive, but the other is easy and free. Oh, and separate lobbies based on input would be a huge improvement as well. And easy. And free.

None of this crap matters until they fix the game. The actual changes will just drive people away faster because they are all geared towards getting melted by cheaters and 3 stacks faster than ever! Less shields and buffed weapons that are easier to find? SMHFix this stuff...Matchmaking, cheaters, smurfs, servers, audio.Fix your **bleep** game!!!

HappyHourSumwurYes, same...moved on over from MOHAA into BF 1942 with the Desert Combat mod in a huge tourney called 21CW (21st century warfare) Absolutely the most fun, intense hard core stuff I was involved in for over a decade. When BF2 came out, changed everything with the commander mode and the ability to spawn out guys on your SL hidden away. IMO, it took the necessity of planning routes and having supporting cast IE: Air and Armor support, out of the game. Now you could halo a spec ops squad in, hide and spawn in guys which is completely dumbing down the game.Which brings me to why I disagree with everyone in Apex being able to craft banners, and bring players back in. There is no thought process in actually surviving. Your squad makeup has a huge element that is no longer of any concern. To me, that is simply dumbing the game down. Just look at the shear amount of all SUPPORT class squads we see now. Anyone who has played since season 1 can tell you that. It never used to happen., or at best was a rarity. That is purely a result of changes the devs made, which IMO...has dumbed the game down.I think games are best when they are in their rawest form. Trying to do too much is what usually wrecks a game. BF 3, 4 etc etc...cant stand it now. Way too much eye candy and not enough focus on game mechanics. Used to take skill to fly an F-16 with an X52 pro Joystick and throttle in say...Falcon 4, now everything is catered to the controller bots and arcade style mechanics.I guess those who have not seen the gaming progression over the past 30 years, just wont get how bad dumbing the games down has become.

I agree with all 3 of you. I think what this is is a knee-**bleep** reaction to the complaints about no hit reg and cheaters instakilling everyone with rapid fire that empties a whole mag in 1 shot. So, since fixing hit reg that only registers 1/3 of your shots and fixing the cheater infestation will take lots of time and money, they have decided to simply buff all the guns and make fights end faster.I for one would much rather see the game get fixed to what it was prior to season 20 when all of these issues started. When I played back then my favorite thing about apex was each gunfight was like a chess match to me. It was like a battle of wits and not just reflexes, trying to outsmart the opponent while you both shoot at each other. This is why even losing a gun fight back then was fun because the fights were such a thrill. Now, the strategy is gone, it's just down to whoever shoots first.Will this give legit players an advantage where there is less of a power gap between them and the cheaters? I hope so, but I also hope this is just a temporary bandaid fix, and that they still have plans to get rid of the cheaters and fix the hit reg problems, which are the two main issues making people quit the game. The other issues like matchmaking would fix themselves if these issues could just be fixed.
