Just finished off this seasons battle pass and as I said I am gone from this game. The netcode is unplayable. Server tick rate is abysmal. It was torture to play this game under these circumstances when your games performance is 10+ years behind current top games. There are plenty of reddit topics pointing out how bad it is and how unacceptable it is but not much is being done on Respawns side to alleviate or fix it. There have been plenty of videos spelling out the issue and showing the problems. I have wasted countless hours of my own time trying to troubleshoot it from my end to not find any issues. Nothing like what I experience playing Apex do I see in other games. Especially having 15 ping at worst to the closest servers. Yeah 15, but most the time reports 12 or under. I really wanted to support this game as my favorite Battle Royal but since I value gameplay and proper hitreg and not meaningless cosmetics I can't do so in the state this game has been in for going on a year. Fix your ish! Then I will come back and even support by opening my wallet.I will keep an eye on updates hoping you finally get your act together.Later on!Edit- I know me saying this won't matter but you got top players FINALLY saying something about it. Maybe something will get done eventually but till then I am out.https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/e5f8oa/nrg_aceu_apex_respawn_you_have_all_this_money_to/

Literally everyone i knew who was any good at Apex quit the game in S3, I moved on to Fortnite. They moved on to whatever.Most common reason is lack of solo's/frustration with braindead teammates. 2nd complaint is overpowered long range meta.

@Gabrielmojo26 To compare Fortnite Season 3 to Apex season 3 and the development of the game. Season 3 in Fortnite was earlier on in the development of the game it wasn't until season 7 that fortnite introduced longer battlepass sessions. With that being said the only connection issue in Fortnite at the end of season 3 was Tilted Towers. Man the servers would lag bad since about half the bus landed there every freaking game. I only bring this into the conversation because @GRiPSViGiL is stating connection as his main issue. Which I also have issues with. The best local server to me is one of the 4 Iowa servers and the best rate I can get is 45. My connection and setup are just fine this is a limitation on their(EA) servers and has been since launch of the game. Getting back to my original topic Fortnite had some 45 ping for me if I landed in generally hot spots right at the beginning of a match but it calmed down quickly within 10 seconds or so and the rest of the game it was not present. Whereas in Apex there are some hot fights, multiple squads and I will see enemies rubberbanding and jumping around in odd ways. I used to have a phrase when I first started playing multiplayer FPS online, "If I go through a doorway twice I am done playing it". Well i am not going through a doorway twice but it is apparent others are. In the end we play this game because we love/hate it and will continue to do so until we get where Grips is at and say enough is enough. I play at least one game a night, but unless some meaningful changes come before the end of season 3(Server, footstep audio, Matchmaking in Public lobbies etc) I will probably just stick to MW. I cannot go back to Fortnite, the building dynamic is ok, and I used to win alot of build battles. I just seriously have zero interest in resharpening those skills again. The one thing I do jump on with my kids once in awhile for a playground match or 50 v 50, which is fun for a bit. Just think if Apex cracked open a limited map with a 50 v 50 scenario. That would be a fun little game mode.Or for my east coast friends it would be "wicked good/awesome"

@GRiPSViGiL Cya! Good decision! Give me your money and like homer simpson I can be happy dude: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uGnZMLf5QOI :DWhat are you gonna play?

@Koochi-QPlaying BFV as the BF series is my main game.

I am looking at RIOTs Project A https://www.riotgames.com/en/project-a Not sure it will be the kind of game I like but it is on a lot of peoples radars.

RIOT knows how to nurture a successful competitive scene that is for sure. The art style is meh but if it plays good I can overlook that.

@CrazyPlays54I have watched streams and looked at it on steam but not sure I want to do a survival type game again. Played ARK and it was cool in a novelty kind of way. Still on my radar though.

@GRiPSViGiLThat game’s still too far away for me to be interested. It looks like a Paladin’s game but more focused on abilities and shooting as opposed to using your abilities to bolster your shooting.

No overwatch 2 for you?

@Koochi-Q I have looked at Overwatch and I play some Blizzard games. I may give it a go now.

In the grand scheme of things, we need to remember that the game has only been out for 11 months.
If you take that into account, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Fortnite also won Best Multiplayer only but a year after release.
That being said, i believe Apex is on the right track, it has a solid base, regardless of the ongoing issues, and I'm sure they'll be improving the game even more as we move forward.
