Im so tired of posts about lag issue posts etc. - do you even know?

Do you even KNOW what respawn is up to? Did you THINK being a bit supportive to respawn entertainment instead of moan and * about lag issues, hacking, bullets thru stones and wall's etc? I mean sure... * its annoying... but come on girls and guys...This is a good game and you, me and everybody knows this, thats why we play it...look at the video, and be a bit more supportive to Respawn Entertainment - Fan bases can kill a game just so you know...

  • Nah im going to complain Till The bitter end. Im going to quit when i hit prestige 3 level 500. So its only 10levels away. So i dont see Even season 21 lol

  • I watched this entire video, I have no idea what you are trying to show using this video as an example. Other than one small part. However, more on the lack of transparency and communication on the part of the Dev team with the player base and showing that not enough is being done. 

    Nothing in this video speaks towards the absolute terrible 20 tic rate servers and all the negative crap that happens as a result of such out dated garbage servers like you mentioned ("about lag issues, hacking, bullets thru stones and wall's etc?") 

    In my opinion yes, a fan base can/could kill a game. But in most cases, the lack of transparency, comms, and unwillingness to invest into the fixing of long term problems the player base has been forced to put up with for years... and GREED, ends up killing games.

    I am 100% understanding you - thats not what im on about.

    I, in fact, do not care 🙂 Simple, if you unhappy with how things are done, walk away. If not try and change them, but dont * about it.
    In the end, their product, their rules - WE as PLAYERS can give an OPINION that is all... Just beacuse someone says i should eat a rock, i have my own mind telling me that would be stupid - Okay sorry for that analogy it was a poor one, but none the less it is what you got 🙂

    What im saying is, be constructive not negative - And i know it is frustrating not to be listen to - i get it. 
    in the end, its their choice - Not ours.

    they might have * servers tbh. i do not know, ive had some lag issues - Frustrating, yees - but im copeing. Upon greed: well * is a bit too pricey, i would give you that.

  • @Memento_Scientia I'll be supportive of Respawn when they start communicating with the community and not just having secret meetings with a few streamers and pros. They also need to deliver something that improves at least one of the core issues with this game (matchmaking, smurfs, cheaters, audio, netcode detection).

    At this point they need to earn my trust & goodwill back, TBH.

    @HappyHourSumwur You forget to say "honest" communication.
    "Play against similar skilled opponents" , a sentence they finally got rid off.
    Also the : "You will be matched +/- one rank level difference max", didnt age to well. And there are much more examples of phony statements that dont hold up in real life.
    I can tolerate a lot, but not being lied to.
    Honest statements is what i wish for, even if its a "We cannot go into details, bcs of a binding NDA"
    They could explain why some of us always get the bad teammates for 50 games in a row and why we shouldnt think its on purpose ... bcs it truly feels like its on purpose !
    They could explain why Performance Display doesnt show any net issues , but shots still dont register.
    Why the datacenter ping for europe datacenters all of a sudden shows values around 150ms and if you set it to USA it will drop to 30ms even if you sit in europe ... ?
    Why the ping suddenly increases after drop only to recover mid/endgame.
    I can answer those questions for myself if i use occams razor ...
    but it would be nice to hear an official statement, bcs those questions could shed a light on some issues the game faces.
  • It's devs not listening to it's player base (who have justified criticism) that kill games off in the end when players quite rightly move on to something else when issues are ignored.Ask a majority of Apex players what their top 3 issues with the game are mostly from the matchmaking (including teammates),cheaters & hackers,servers & performance issues (lag. audio,hit reg etc) & yet these issues have plagued the game since the early seasons & seasons (years) later nothing has changed.And when even when the most loyal of Apex fanboys/girls like several of them on youtube openly criticize the game for the same reasons then you know the game has serious issues.

    After a week off Apex I decided to play a few games of BR mode earlier today & in both matches the first thing that hit me upon landing both in hotspots in SP (random teammate choices not mine) was the terrible slow down & frame rate issues that dogged me throughout when there were several enemies in full view right in front of me scrambling for loot as well & even when exchanging gunfire with the enemies by battle was also with the crippling slow,choppy frame rate where the game felt as smooth as swimming in a pool full of quicksand.Suffice to say in both matches by hook or by crook though I got 2 kills in each match the slowdown angered me so much I've decided to give the game a miss until S21.As previous seasons have proved in the past when Apex is in the * end of any season (like we are in S20) issues with the game become more prominent than ever.

    @RedmattgameI want to remind everyone who thinks its a developers fault : Developers of AAA Titles dont really have a say in the direction a game will take. They dont make the business decisions. Im pretty sure developers at Respawn would be able to fix most of the pressing issues we players complain about , but thats not in the business interest. It would cost extra money without a proper "Return of Invenstment", so shareholders will likely deny such actions.
    It has a reason why so many Apex Devs jumped ship after the game took off, my bet is the game had to take a route they didnt envision for their "brainchild".
    I worked on games in the past and i know quite some people working in game development. As soon as they work for a mayor studio (either they sign directly or the indie studio they work for gets bought) they all tend to get frustrated at one point bcs of the lack of control they have over their work they should or should not do.

    a proper prejudice spares you from thinking for yourself !
