reconzero insightfull as ever. I wish I had your level of devotion.
It is now a semi Battle Royale. Once all live players clear the bots, you now have to deal with them. Basically, another cannon fodder mode. Some of my team mates had high rank badges and a sweaty kill count. It's not even clear to see who's player and who's bot.
If the motivation for these changes, as stated in the update notes, is to provide a mode for ranked players to relax after a grind, then why adding live players to the mode? And what about the players, who initially enjoyed the mode for what it was?
From my own point of view, Bot Royale was better off as before. I don't mind sacrificing account progression. Don't really play for that, just playing to have some fun. Unfortunately, Apex has failed to provide it to me this season. I haven't touched Apex since the first few games on the first day after the update. Couple of reasons:
- Yes, I prefer Bot Royale exclusively, i'm more of a single player, casual game type individual. The only PVE mode has become PVPVE now.
- Don't mind to spend on cosmetics to support the development, have spent plenty already. But do require motivation, which is currently absent.
- Fuse's new Ult... why?
- Having now more time for other things, found out that Seedance 2.0 is out. So that got me distracted.
I trully hope, Respawn has the willingness to kindly reconsider and revert the changes. Hopefully, still during this season, while my retention is still somewhat fresh.
