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...
@Gabrielmojo26Nahhh I don’t look at game of the year or any kind of awards as a measure of justification or evidence for a game’s well doing.
I’ve played games that won awards which I still not liked very much. Apex may win all the prizes in genres it sits in, that would still not make it any better a game, but that was not entirely your point.
If Respawn acted differently, this would be a great game. Hell most people who left the game still say the concept and mechanics are good, the mismanagement is what made them quit. Usually why people quit a game boils down to 3 reasons:
1) the game just isn’t for them (this is fairly early on OR if some new update messes the game up
2) mismanagement (can be anything from bad PR, no updates, not listening to playerbase etc)
3) grew tired of it (for any number of reasons not including the mentioned above one)
For this game I’ve categorized most players leaving as reason 2. They just didn’t want to play anymore even tho they really like(d) the game. 11 months was more than enough time to either fix lingering problems or at least acknowledge them to some degree.
Did they acknowledge the 20 tick rate servers getting an upgrade, no. Should they for a game that has bullets flying faster than the servers handle the logic, absolutely.
Other problems are also prevalent but this is the one nagging everybody in the back of their necks like a sweet temptress with a lovely perfume who bites you when you need that melodic voice singing in your ear.
My 2 cents that I’ve taken out of the slot machine cause I’m a greedy person XD
@Gabrielmojo26 Yep they probably do. Dedicated servers for the pc players in the tournament. Us lowly peasants shall suffer still.
If we weren’t passionate about the game we wouldn’t be here. But I am at my wits end after a couple of games tonight.
On a side note I see how people like sbmm now after reading other threads. Some people that have been very vocal talking about averaging 5+ kill games with mid teens in damage. Yeah my games used to be that way too. Now tonight in four games average damage was 1000 with an average of 1 kill per game. Seems off. Knocking a couple of people per game just trying to keep squads from eating my team alive is old and boring now. I think I am in the camp of others and I am moving on.
