Out of touch devs

Thanks for ruining worlds edge devs. 

Butchered frag for what? because all the unskilled players who dont know how to use the zip lines kept crying LOL

Another rant

WE already have bland maps like olympus/Stormpoint that bore me so much, i just log off the game each time they’re in rotation. Thanks for adding WE in that category

The loot even feels horrendous now all you find are bot weapons like LMGs or snipers everywhere

  • @boqywem6ei0a  The worlds edge changes are for the best, look how much space they added to the map!

    Before: 

    Just look at it currently, it’s so much bigger now!!

  • @boqywem6ei0a I agree with your title but not for the reason in your post.

    I really like the changes to WE. The old Fragment had mediocre loot and hot dropping there got really old several seasons ago.

    Now the changes to ranked are where the devs are completely out of touch. People want to win by getting kills, not by ratting it out. The point of the game is to fight to win, not just win.

    Yeah I'm in total agreement with you. Respawn is massively out of touch with its core audience in my opinion.

    ​If I recall there was a reddit post that depicted most of a server around Fragment which got upvoted. Someone created an article about it and the rest is history. The articles even quoted someone that Fragment needs to be changed (like their opinion was the entire community of Apex Legends), but that person doesn't even play that much Apex Legends.

    Respawn just needs a better feedback system.​ I do not consider this to be just a moment of chance when there was an article created in March 2023 about Fragment, then all of a sudden, it was changed. Respawn employees chat on reddit all the time, it's not that far fetched, I'm sure they saw it. If you want to find the article look for Apex Legends players call for Fragment changes on World's Edge.

    I've played the new layout and I'll just simply quit Apex Legends while that map is in rotation. I do not play ranked, nor do I like just looting for 15 mins to have my team do absolutely no damage. Honestly I don't understand why Respawn thinks taking the core enjoyment away will be a good thing. They did the same with Skull Town, but then removed it and now the map is straight up trash. Even tried that in the new rotation and can't stand it.

    Apex Legends is so bad now, it's outstanding how this happened. I want 2019 Apex Legends, before of all the bad ideas.

    I for one don't care for ranked mode, wish I could uninstall. I started playing Apex Legends because it was fun, I do not find these changes fun. Also, I'm not a fan of zipline fights, but if someone has the ability to do them, so be it.

    It seems all changes nowadays are strictly for articles on reddit and/ or streamers that are part of the EA game changer program. Like your opinion seems identical from that NRG member who healed while in the storm with zero damage to get to Predator.

    Also, in case people haven't noticed it, Battle Royale isn't about killing people, it is about waiting out the storm, so technically that's being competitive by not doing anything.

    I also think that video will have a different effect than what that NRG member intended too. I think Respawn will say, okay the storm doesn't do enough damage, when the intention was to say that people need more buy-in to get into the rooms. I'm calling it now, storm damage will be increased.

    One thing though is updates need to take into account that some people do not play ranked, so not everything needs to be made incount of it.

    @Popa2caps My opinion is the opposite of what sweetdreams did. He did it to make a point that ranked scoring g is broken.

    The community wants to get in fights, not hide from them. Ranked scoring should put more emphasis on winning fights and getting kills than it does now.

    The biggest disappointment on the supposably fundamental changes made to Fragment is the fact they left half the old Fragment still intact in the Train Station & the few surrounding buildings.The devs lied through their teeth when they claimed Fragment was going to be rebuilt from the ground up when half the old Fragment is still there intact. 

  • @boqywem6ei0a

    Part of me agrees with you that changes which cater to fools are probably changes for the worse, but Fragments, and by extention the entire map, were becoming a running joke. Something definitely needed to be done. The sad part is that they made a lot of cosmetic changes that had absolutely no effect whatsoever on the problem.

    @BigMacAttack8u

    You know I live for this stuff, right? It's dark, my house is quiet and everyone else is asleep, and I still laughed out loud!

    "The point of the game is to fight to win, not just win."

    You know I love and respect you and will support you even when you're wrong... except HERE, which crawled right under my skin and set me on fire because it is a defacto indictment of my entire modus operandi in this game!!! It's like saying, "I'm in LA and I need to get to NY but going to the airport and catching a direct flight is for housewives and little girls. Real men drive. In a clapped out '69 VW Beetle. Via Bolivia." Just NO, my friend. Work smarter, not harder!
