Extreme Slow Taking Damage - 3rd Parties - Cheats - Controllers

Hello EA,

I hope you see this post. I've been playing since Season 1 with 2600 hours in the game, so I know it well.

I've never experienced till now an extreme amount of slowing down when taking damage from gun fire till Season 12.

I'm talking now, like I am at half speed when trying to run with a gun out strafing and moving around trying to shoot, it's nearly impossible, and many times the legend also comes to a stand still, like I'm trying to walk through water or mud.

I've always been aware that heavy weapon guns slow the legends down when taking hits, but not slowing them down to half speed. Something is seriously wrong here, I experience this in every game now since Season 12 has come out, and I have never experienced this extreme half speed slow down till now.

I also read through all the Season 12 patch update news, that Olympus was changed to improve 3rd parties, but I actually run into more 3rd party fights now on Olympus than before. I personally see the map is easier and quicker for players to move from one point to another, making 3rd parties easier to run into.

3rd parties is a big pain on all these maps, constantly running into, and not fun.

There is also a massive amount of cheaters on the NA servers. Cheaters have ruined online gaming, it's to the point, where playing the game is not worth it, when you are just wasting your time trying to beat them, with their unfair advantage.

Last, Network lag is really bad, pretty much every game I run into, I have players constantly lagging, skipping, squirting around all over the place in front of me, making it next to impossible to shoot.

I'll be honest, I'm not even sure why I continue to play this game, with all the issues it constantly has, that are never resolved, and then Season 12 rolls around with really odd extreme slow downs when taking damage, 3rd parties are as crazy as ever, and the network is just plain awful, let's not forget the cheats too.

There's also a very serious and real issue with controllers in this game, players pulling off impossible shots and movements. Aim Assist is a problem, strike packs, etc., it is like they have an advantage and it's not fair. Console Cross Play needs to be removed,and Controller support on the PC needs to be removed, it is seriously no longer fun to have Controller Players playing...

KEEP THE CONSOLE PLAYERS AND CONTROLLERS ON THE CONSOLES PLEASE EA!

P.S. There is nothing wrong with my hardware, I wonder how many others are experiencing extreme slowing down taking damage from guns too? Please look into this EA...

  • Well I guess just a lot of misinformation going around in the past.

    Because if the game was based on more realism, then a Spitfire would slow you down more than a P2020.

    Well, there's still some really odd slow downs going on now in Season 12...

  • Naw, you're right dawg. Something is going on this season. I can't 1 v 1 anybody and I feel like I'm stuck in Mud. There is definitely something going on.

  • @xpl0itsYeah the servers are definitely chugging recently on my end. Experiencing micro stutters from time to time even on Control mode and sometimes even rubberbanding. Now that I’ve finished the event and I’m busy at work, will have an apex break for a week or two. Lol.

    And my friends who I play with constantly are also on an apex break since they’re on base PS4 and they said that they can’t play with the framerate issues.

    I'm just playing Duos for now, maybe some of this also has to do with the network/servers lagging, regardless, there's something wrong here...

    @Cheese9Man Great info about the timing of it! I didn't know how long it lasted. I wasn't doubting that all bullets slow you down equally. It just gets confusing for me sometimes, when I am getting shot (by any gun) and am slowed down for what seems like way more than .25s every 3s, but when I am shooting people (with any gun), they don't seem to suffer from the slowdown, at least not visually. I'm guessing it's just a mixture of all the other variables though, like my own travel speed & direction, compared to the person I'm shooting and whatnot. Thanks again for the info!

    Unless there is something in the latest Season 12 Patch Notes/Update, then something has seriously changed, effecting this problem.

    I'm not talking about anything that we have all typically experienced in the past.

    Nothing has ever happened like this until Season 12; EXTREME SLOWING DOWN!

    @xpl0its Just experienced this last game. Came to a complete standstill while getting shot in the back. Like couldn't move at all, locked in place.

    There's a lot more to game than just the built in mechanics people aren't considering. It could be something do with the servers, hit reg, an exploit, straight up cheat, or some sort of network thing. I'm getting stuck on weird geometry, and I'm getting that slow slide a lot more than ever before.

    I experienced something strange this season, seems like the 3sec cooldown on slow is no longer globals so if more then 1 is shooting at you you get perma slowed. Might be a bug in the game or something, well worth checking out at any rate, but its supposed to be globale 3 sec cooldown on the slow so you still have a chance to comeback.

  • Glad to see I'm not the only one, I wasn't dreaming! LOL

    I've seen this happen in many different ways too, not just always the same way, with the same legends and weapons shooting, or talents/ults 

    Just happens many different ways.

    I've especially seen this many times, when I am inside a small building shooting at someone next to me, slowing down a lot.

    I can deal with this...

    BUT, I want EA to remove Controller Support from the PC and Cross Play from the PC, as PC players we don't need it, sorry if you have a console buddy that want's to play with you on PC. There are just to many modded controllers strike pack hacking going on, it's really bad!

    75% of all games I play is cheating, whether it's the typical Aimbot PSIlent, Wallhacks on PC, then it's now the Controller cheating crowd!
