Not feeling the update at all so far
The TTK is definitely too fast in my opinion. With how the game promotes movement abilities, and 20 tick servers, it's just not enough time to react or to engage in interesting duels. I thought I was...

I agree with the Time To Kill. Too fast now. Combined with a slow server tick rate, never a good idea. After one BR round last night i switched to Mixtape, and it was just too fast. Apex is not COD or a fast arena shooter. Weapon balance and time to kill was just fine. Getting tired too of the constant meta changes without real new stuff or some exciting events. Faster TTK caters faster matchmaking and queing, With different MM and lower player counts, longer quing was an issue in S23 (mostly late hours) to me in central Europe with many servers around. But that fast TTK is just no fun. Getting shot in the back by campers or luckers who happen to come from anywhere. And hearing them coming properly ... haha good luck **. There's hardly time to react or take cover unless you react lightning fast. And then there's the bloody slow server tickrate, and the usual lags... Not a good match.
The UI went from decent to cluttered, i garee too.
Its gonna be a year (and a half)? of doing things better or apex 2.0 won't be even a big thing anymore. Or it will be short lived if 2.0 only means "new ideas to monitize apex better" and just shuffle some maps, legends and meta around
Sure they can add new stuff, more things from titanfall. We'll see. But audio updates (** positional sound is a disaster in this game), some networking updates or let's say 30 or 40hz(wishfull thinking here) tickrate? Thats gonna take real big effort , time and money ... Changing tickrate from 30 to 45hz and more fine tuned networking helped BF al lot 1 year after the crappy BF4 launch for ex. Due a community testing environmet program. But again, time and money ...
I get it, EA wasn't happy with the revenue in 2024. But one new map can only bring a lil more intrest for a bunch of weeks. You cant recoler every skin 3 times , create inspireless events that evolve around the store mostly, while youre base game is getting stale and people are bored out, and hope to get big revenue.
There's so many things they could do to add actual content that wouldn't be that hard to do.
Like they could make more sights. Maybe we could make our own? Something persistent through matches? How we have skins, we could customize the zoom, the shape of the optic, the housing, and etc.
Either they're working on something big in the background, fingers crossed, or they're creatively bankrupt. Which I doubt is the case, because the game has a lot of great, interesting ideas.
