@Redmattgame You know, now that I think of it, I somewhat agree with you.
If you can live with Fortnite's, big eyed, cartoon look with clowns, banana people, and supposedly serious soldiers (and Batman, and stormtroopers, etc.), and that sort of inconsistency, then I would say they are both better at their cheap 'green' skins and that they don't push loot box nonsense.
Apex basic art to me is much better in that it is more serious, each character is far more detailed, but the base chaff is awful. Cheap 'gray' skins were clearly meant for you to invest time, and are dead loot box drops to encourage more money spending. It's just that their top tier, gold skins, and their skins from FOMO special events tend to be better imo.
I've always thought you should just allow people to buy the skin they want, but when you are looking to milk people for money, you tap into their lack of gambling resistance, animal brain part and do loot boxes.
- dSKyNafinchin4 years agoHero (Retired)@Redmattgame I could be mistaken, but that might have something to do with heirloom probability? I remember reading something about heirloom chances. It said something along the lines of: If you want to increase your chances of getting a legend's heirloom, unlock ALL skins/banner/frames etc, and it somehow effected your chances of pulling an heirloom, due to everything else for that legend already being unlocked. I could very well be mistaken, or that could have changed after the shard rework, but I do remember seeing something to that effect, a long time ago.

@Redmattgamerecycle the skin? so you have chance to get it in the next pack you open?
- 4 years ago@damsonwhufndthis Or better still just stick with the status quo & so we are forced to keep all the unwanted skins that we will never use anyway.At least with Fifa in Ultimate Team they have always offered the chance to cash in unwanted players (rather the auction them) to help fund players you want same principle could apply to Apex.
