- Marge0104 years agoSeasoned Ace@Cheese9Man definitely need more than 2 maps in the rotation especially if we're keeping storm point. Hate that map
- @Marge010 take a big break from your pc and live outside in the real world. Return back when you feel rdy.
- @Marge010 It is on the road map for pubs and 2nd ranked split.
When it comes to new season/character trailers Apex knocks it out the park pretty much every time but as an Apex player from day 1 even my love for the game has been diminishing over time particularly over the past few seasons or so. I just don't get the same buzz like I used to at the start of every new season probably due to lower expectation levels fuelled by the disappointment of previous seasons & failure to genuinely fix long running game issues.And with that the only real highlights of the upcoming season 12 for me are;
*Next Gen Upgrade (better late than never)
*New character Maggie
*Shelving WE
*Spitfire back on the floor (apparently sometime during season 12)
But according to various reports there's no guarantee that the next gen upgrade will happen at the start of season 12 but to implement the next gen upgrade controller/console players will be hit by an aiming nerf (to AA mostly) regardless if your a last gen or next gen player.And will a 'next gen upgrade' mean a smoother running game with better colouring or better audio.The rumour mill suggest that Maggie might suffer the same fate as Seer thus being too OP at the start of the season & will inevitably be over-nerfed within days/weeks.Having considerably reduced my play time in season 11 by rotating the 2 worst maps in the game in WE & Stormpoint I'm just not overly impressed with the 'changes' to Olympus whilst no tweaks been made to Kings Canyon or Stormpoint (so it's same old same old) & so the hotspots will still be same.And whilst Olympus maybe a 'bigger' map' it'll be pointless without a better spread-out of loot/weapons etc.I have no interest in the new mode 'Control' as it's a mode I've played in other games like Splitgate,Overwatch,COD etc & just don't like & tend to avoid it (team Deathmatch would have been a better option instead).
I certainly won't be buying the season 12 pass at the start of the season this time & will wait about a month before making a decision as I don't want to get my fingers burnt again by trying to grind through a season I don't particularly like.
I predict that next gen update will not occur on Tuesday. Servers taking a crap is a regular feature of season launches. I don't think such a major change will be planned simultaneously with season launch.

lol every other heroes tactical can be broken why should caustic get a free pass when it clutters vision, stuns and damages

if you can only use 2 guns and an OP hero its not the game its you
- @Marge010 I have to admit, I'm having some mixed feelings as well.
I will say that control does look fun, but even if I really enjoy it, that's only the first 3 weeks of the season. Hard to know how I'll feel about the rest, especially because I'm not too keen on the "craft only" weapons idea (I didn't like it the first time we gave it a go either). Also, while I do look forward to new legends, I feel that Maggie's presence (and Caustic's nerf) may have too large of a negative effect on Defensive legends and the game as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I like to play a bit of everyone and I don't like anything being insanely OP, but the Devs do seem to be leaning into Mobility and Scans pretty heavily. Which leaves anyone without those things (or a way to counter them) out in the cold to rot. And I can't say i find that particular fair or fun.
As for everything else:
It's a shame there's no new gun. I like when there's new guns in the game. Now, I will say I understand the Volt going into the CP. As much as i like my Energy weapons, I get why things rotate in and out of the CP, it keeps things fresh, whch is good. I will say I'm bummed about WE though. Yes, it is my least favorite map, but i know what it feels like to not play on your favorite one (I didn't get to touch KC this entire season and it sucks), so therefore, I wouldn't want anyone to feel as i do. I wish we could have all maps for the whole season in Pubs. It's just nice having that (imo). Lastly, i will say i feel the BH skin is a bad idea. It's insanely expensive for what it is (a skin you won't even see most of the time) and it's ridiculous that not only do you pay a crazy price for it, you have to grind out 130K damage to get all the tiers (it's like a really bad and expensive BP).
So, yeah, i think that pretty much sums up my early/pre-release thoughts on S12. A bit of excitement, a bit of irritation, a bit of disgust, and a dash of dread. I can't wait... - YourNetcodeSucks4 years agoNew Veteran
@Marge010Agree except Olympus is the only good map, but let's just agree to disagree. The changes they made should make it even better.
- YourNetcodeSucks4 years agoNew Veteran@JonStriker126 Streamers add a lot of new players. Streamers like mobility and scans. It's never been about balancing for us peons. Only cater to streamers and make bank.
