Make it make sense

So new Apex...

Evo: open a loot bin,  grab an evo cache, open a drop = full purple shields. open a drop, open loot bin, grab cache = blue shields????? Same things, different order, less shields? WHAT?

Matchmaking: My KDR is the lowest it's ever been, because every **bleep** match, there's 5-10 preds/masters dropping, and I'm a casual who has time to play maybe 4-5 hours a WEEK.

Cheaters: Getting shot through walls, and around corners every 2nd bloody match at this point - weren't they meant to be sorting cheaters?

Audio: trying to hear where enemies are, but all you get is incessant background noise, that makes it bloody impossible. Your own footsteps sound like enemies; yet I have enemies jump on top of me with ZERO footstep sounds???

It really seems at this point, that they want to kill Apex. Looking through the forum, it's mostly complaints - but no one listens, unless you're an esports player, who wants to win with less work - then boom, it gets done.

  • This is the state of Apex. EA does nothing to fix it. 

    I am fairly new, and I already face 3 stack masters/ preds, and my HIGHEST DMG done ever is like 1.6k and the highest kills I've ever gotten is 5. 

    Just because I can somewhat laser an enemy who's crouching behind the cover (completely unaware I'm behind him) means that next game, I am ready to face sweats and tryhards just because I managed to knock someone down under a second. It is complete BS.

  • Oh don't even get me started on that - I managed to sneak behind a team engaged in a fight yesterday (Duos, me playing no fill) and down them (with Rampart's Ult); every match after that, absolutely lasered by the first person to spot me. This morning has been as bad.

    EVO Caches have rarity levels, and here's how they work:

    • Blue / Purple EVO Caches - The player who picks this up will gain a bit of EVO XP, (which more EVO XP is granted with the Purple EVO Cache)
    • Golden EVO Cache - The player who picks this up will have their EVO armor upgraded to the next level, (unless maxed out), in which case they won't be able to pick it up, (so I highly recommend that players with Blue EVO armor picks this one up, rather than players with white EVO armor, as it will upgrade them to Blue EVO armor)
    • EVO Harvesters - This will grant the whole team the same EVO XP

    I wish the matchmaking was better and that there was a better anti-cheat as well.

    The game is running on a very old modified source engine, (which would mean that the sound engine isn't properly equipped to handle the sounds within Apex). So honestly, the game would need to be written on a newer game engine, (but that would be a huge project for Respawn to undertake).

    Maybe we'll get a better game engine when "Apex 2.0" rolls out, (but who knows).

    Really good reply man - that explains the evo thing - I couldn't figure out why the hell that was happening!

    On the rest, yea, sadly I don't think we'll ever see resolution - we can only hope for Apex 2.0 to be better.
