So they're bringing back Skull Town as an Arena map.But they can only keep it during the event cause apparently "BR Arena maps actually load the full BR map "So...they can't be bothered to actually code it that it doesn't load the whole BR map or maybe make a map to honor their most iconic landing zone?I wasn't expecting anything and I'm still disappointed in them.edit:Some more reason why they can't keep Skull Town and/or OG KC1. "It's not canon." This kind of makes sense but at the same time it's so easy to work around it with the existence of Wraith.2. "Extra QA time each patch to check another map and make sure nothing breaks." So this is just plain old laziness then? or am I missing something?

@SheepsKing Load map and assets into 3dmax or whatever they use, in overview click n drag border over selected area, copy/paste then delete remaining. Import into source engine with some tweaks and Voilà.It'll obviously take a little more work than that but for someone who specialises in this working for a billion dollar profit game, there's no excuse.

@SheepsKing LOL.Thank you for commenting this "Just tell them what you want, and then wait for them to give it to you. And if you don't feel like doing that, then leave."It's clear now that you're one of those people that go "BUT IT'S FREE!! SO YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE THEM!!!REEEE!!"Regardless of the business model they chose they can and should be criticized that's one way for products to improve or atleast it's better than being a yes-man.

@MassiveVernon I’m with vernon on this xD. By this point I know they’re quite laissez vaire about Apex so I hardly care about anything they do if it looks like incompetence or laziness. That said, throw OG KC and I’m like those whales whom like every cosmetic and forgive everything with a new batch xD.That said, I don’t believe for a minute they can’t make the assets from existing maps separate into Arenas without loading the whole of those BR maps. So likely laziness.That said, where did you get this quote from. Even without knowing that tho it says something about the other arena maps... most likely they are also part of other BR maps! Especially if ppl get weird fps. That would explain why those 2 maps give/gave ppl trouble...

@SheepsKing"Do you really think that they currently just don't put in any effort?"Regarding this upcoming event? YesThere are ways to make it better and yet they just recycled old content just so they can release something"What right do you have to demand more?"I'm a customer. I have the rights to demand more when I think it's not to my standard."Also, don't put free in quotes like that. It literally is free, there's nothing making you spend money on the game. Literally everything that you like about the game is a gift, including Skulltown."They're not gifts. They are content they're releasing to keep this game from going stale and dying."And of course they're out to make a profit, so if what you're suggesting was profitable, they would do it."Ofcourse they don't think it's profitable. It's not a skin they're going to sell after all but if you put some thought into it what harm does it do that they try and release something people have been asking for?"In other words, they probably don't have the money or resources to do it. It's not about laziness or incompetence, and you honestly sound super entitled and rude."Yes they do have the money and resources to do it. They just don't want to use it. And honestly I don't care if you think I sound super entitled or rude. If they're going to half-* their contents they need to be called out for it."Do you know how much people get paid to work on this game? I don't either, but clearly they don't get paid enough to do what you want them to. I guess you have the right to complain about whatever you feel like, but if you want * done for you, then you should be ready to pay for it yourself."Except customers are already paying for it? Or are you saying we have to commission them like they're some kind of free lance artist(which they are not)?If they just said they wanted to keep the prestige of Old KC and Skulltown just so they don't keep it permanently. I'd honestly be fine with that but the excuses they gave are just screaming laziness and incompetence to me.

@Daze623 I mean we’re getting season 0 kings canyon and og worlds edge as an LTM so I’m happy

@SheepsKing That's the point you're making tho? The only argument you gave to me so far is that "it's a free game stop complaining" which isn't a good argument to begin with. I'm not asking them to cater to MY demand. I'm asking them to cater to the majority of players demands. When Arena mode was introduced majority of the playerbase(or atleast the vocal majority) were asking for skulltown arena map.

The problem isn't whether it'll be here forever or not. Like I said a while ago I'd be okay if they take it out of rotation to keep the "prestige" feeling of the map. The problem I have is the excuse they gave us. Their excuses would have been easily solved if they just made a special Arena map for skulltown which they didn't.

@Daze623 yeah I'm saying not to complain because complaining like this is negative, unhelpful, and mean. You can stop doing that at least right? Wanna talk about majority, look, if it was WORTH it, they would DO it. If you're fine with what they're doing, why does it matter what excuse they give? It just isn't worth doing what you're suggesting.

@SheepsKing It's a thing called professionalism. When the excuse you can give your customers is that you're too lazy to do something do you think they'll be happy? What else am I supposed to call them when that's literally the thing that they're showing?

@Daze623 they're showing that they have other priorities. It's not laziness, it's their job. Isn't a new map gonna be coming out next season? We're due for a new one right?

@SheepsKing If they use that as an excuse I would accept it but they never used that as an excuse.

@Daze623 yeah, I don't know what about that tweet screams laziness to you. I mean, I know you think you have a fix, but if there was a fix I think they would do it. They talked about how it was too much data to process, wouldn't having arenas be separate maps be even more data to process? I don't know, but I don't develope games.

@SheepsKing Their technical stuff stems on using too much large maps which can be easily fixed by actually making a specific skulltown arena maps which they didn't do. Arena's map are a lot smaller compared to a full on BR map so there's that. What really irks me though is the QA part cause it's literally them saying it adds more work to do and they don't want that.
