Later on!

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 circumstance...

@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.

  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"

    @mastiffslinger Valid points indeed, i’m just saying both games share a similar parallel as to progression, one might have a bigger team then the other, one might be more productive, i don’t know honestly, but imo Apex is doing ok considering it’s been out for barely 11 months as a « beta ». I say beta, since games pushing out updates were never considered final versions to me personally, hence why i have a tendency to be a little more lenient when it comes to what we consider issues.
