Hello, I am a Korean user who loves Apex Legends. I posted it after translating it from Korean to English, so please understand if there are some awkward parts or typos in the grammar.Not long ago, I posted a message explaining a chronic problem on the Asian server and asking EA and Respawn to solve it, but it was deleted without a clear reason...It's so sad...I hope EA and Respawn's developers will focus on solving the problems of servers in many Asian countries... Users in Korea, Japan and other parts of Asia are suffering greatly from low-quality server and cheater problems....In particular, Korean users are virtually forced to play games on Tokyo servers after the closure of the Seoul server, but there are persistent packet loss and high ping problems on Tokyo servers, so Korean users who use Tokyo servers are facing a very uncomfortable situation. On top of that, the Tokyo server is now occupied by cheaters armed with various cheat programs, including converters, which is even more serious.But this problem is showing no signs of getting better, and pro gamers and users in Korea and Japan are getting too tired... As a result, the game's popularity in Korea and Japan continues to decline, but it's so sad that EA and Respawn don't seem to be aware of the seriousness of it...

Don't worry it's the same in EU , cheater fiesta & terrible servers.They only care about NA.

@WTF_Huitzo The same goes for EU servers....It's so sad....I hope EA and Respawn will always keep in mind that this game is released and serviced around the world, not just in North America....

There is a cheating industry in China. They are cheating and boosting accounts to sell them. Most of the time you encounter a cheater in any region the cheater is from China. Even cheaters are not playing on Asia servers because they don't want to play aganist cheaters. They also hacking accounts, cheat on them and attempt to sell them.At this point maybe battle pass must be forced after a certain rank so it will be less profitable to boost and sell account by cheats. Or maybe they should add a premium ladder that requires a sms verification, solo queue only and region locked.There is no way to prevent cheats in FPS games but they can reduce it.

@el7uarvszheo Personally, I think it is urgent to introduce SMS verification!!

@csj711 I live in NA, but I sometimes go to the Tokyo servers when the packet loss is low since it has more switch players, and I can confirm that this season has seen a lot more cheating than usual, especially in mixtape as I mentioned in another thread.In br pubs last night on the tokyo server, I was fighting a wraith outside the fight club building and she bounced off the building going as high as an octane pad and snapped onto me with a headshot using one of the pistol weapons in mid air, killing me instantly. Even if the gunshot was legit (which I'm certain it wasnt) the movement clearly violated the physics of the game and would not be possible even with gyro or mnk.I really hope this gets fixed soon, both for the people overseas and for people that enjoy those servers.

EA & Respawn...Please save the Asian server that is being destroyed.

@Asmodeus566 I posted something similar on this board a while ago, but it has been deleted and I have not been informed of the clear reason for this...And the problem with the Asian server I described is not a recent problem, but a chronic problem that has been going on for a long time. That's why so many Asian users, including myself, are angry about it, and so many Asian users have already quit this game and are playing Valorant or PUBG... And EA and Respawn don't seem to feel the seriousness of this, so I keep posting until they recognize it. I hope the game will be very popular in many Asian countries, including Korea and Japan.

And I would appreciate it if you could tell me the channel where EA and Respawn are streaming about Apex Legends.

I do not recall when and or where the livestream was, I think it was on Reddit, not sure, and I do not recall who mentioned it.

@Asmodeus566 I see...

Whenever I see many game companies in Korea actively communicate with users in various directions such as streaming conferences, fan festivals, and broadcasting promotion of famous streamers, I hope EA and Respawn communicate more actively with users like this....

To be honest, as EA and Respawn communicate with EA Korea, I would like them to promote and communicate more actively about Apex Legends in Korea...

Hello. I am a Korean user who loves Apex Legends.
Please understand if there are some awkward parts in grammar as it has been translated from Korean to English.
In today's special match between APAC North and APAC South teams, Korean team Ganbare Otousan took first place, and REALIZE took second place.

Many viewers in Japan praised and admired the Korean team's strength and various performances, and they are looking forward to the Korean team's future performance, but unfortunately, Apex Legends' popularity in Korea is cooling down. This is because Tokyo servers used in Korea have high ping and packet loss problems, and Tokyo servers are occupied by cheaters...I'm so sad about this situation...

There are several users in Korea who are talented in Apex Legends, but they are not getting much attention in Korea.

Even though GO is too good a team to be in Korea unfortunately, no club has been showing up yet to sponsor them in Korea, and the team members of REALIZE will end their contracts with the club at the end of December....I would be so sad if there is a situation where they cannot sign with the club for a long time....In order for Apex Legends to gain huge popularity in Korea, we need to promote more actively and improve the problems of the Tokyo server...

Hey @csj711,

I've merged your recent post to this thread as it's about the same topic.

There is no need for multiple threads on the same situation, please keep any additional posts on this subject in an existing thread such as this one. 🙂

We'll certainly pass along the feedback, but at this time do not have any additional updates. Thanks!

@EA_Mako Hello, I checked your comments.

As I explained in the article, despite the fact that Korea has many talents for the game, it is losing popularity not only in Korea but also in Japan due to a combination of problems such as cheater on the Tokyo server, low-quality server issues, and insufficient public relations issues. And this is a problem not only for Tokyo servers, but also for Asian servers.

As a result, many Asian users, including Korea and Japan, are turning their attention to other FPS games such as Valorant. I'm so sad about this situation, and I hope EA and Respawn are aware of the seriousness of it and actively solve the problem.

I hope that my articles will be properly and actively communicated to EA and Respawn.
