@MightyPaLs You are spot on.. Easy Anti Cheat is absolute garbage.
The cheater issue has NOT been as big as in previous seasons.. Its still there tho, and in hese lastg few days ive been encountering more and more (not that many, but more and more). This is usually how it is, a few days where you dont seem to play with any cheaters, or at least run into them. Then suddenly BOOM, from one day to another, the amount of ppl who is running, jumping while lasering people. I've inspected a guy who spawned items.. ( Yes, its true, only saw 1 doing this), Ive been shooting 2 full Flatline mags into a white armor (probably missed a shot or 3), the armor diddnt even break, ive been downed with full lvl 2 armor, helmet and full HP in 1 shot by the Volt.. Hell, just today I encountered a teleporting Octane. we were fighting last squad of 3, all being in front of us and below us, coming towards us with the ring behind them.. Suddenly their octane is shooting us from behind and we lost.. no jump towers, he was in front of us 2, 3 sec before.. clearly teleporting lol.
People can say what they want, I know what I saw. I know people who seen some of the same stuff. In online games (specially shooters) will be cheaters, and with EAC its more or less like leaving your home and leaving your front door open..
Then there is the obvious wallers.
Cheaters will never admit they cheat, and my guess is that 90-95% of the people who is replying bla bla git gud and "there is no cheaters" on post targeting cheating, is cheating themself..
The servers be trash servers (EA - no additional explanation required i guess haha). random crazy lag, disconnects, fail matchmaking like every 3rd match or so ( u play squad, u are either alone or have 1 teammate)
Im really enjoying this game when it works, sadly it does not work that often. It is AMAZING - if they would fix some of all this broken stuff.
My prediction is that this game will get wounded pretty bad at some point soon. It wont die, but will be badly wounded.
I saw a post somewhere in here, if its legit or not, im not sure, but a dev said that their goal was not to fix server problems and stuff like that. what they cared the most about is ingame stuff, so people can have fun or something like that.. how the F is people gonna have fun playing a broken and not cared for game..
Anyway, this reply became a bit longer than expected, so I will stop now.
Gonna go play The Cycle on Epic games (coming to steam soon =D )
Its Free, in BETA, season 3, awsome, solo, duo or squad, PvE & PvP mixed. much fun, much more will be released soon. try it out if you wanna play something other than Apex, that is not just a normal Battle Royale.
