Playing Apex after a week

I’ve been playing BO6 the past week and coming back to Apex made me realize how slow this game is. I, for one don't care for Apex as a Battle Royale, so this isn't about how slow battle royales are. The game in general is too slow for Mixtape, why is there a 5 second respawn wait time? Why is there a penalty for leaving a mixtape match? Menus change before I have a chance to change weapons optics and menu buttons are inconsistent. Why not retroactively change the ‘Change Legends’ and ‘ Change Loadout’ buttons in control to fit with how they sre in Team Death match and Gun Run? Why can’t I leave a Control match from the map overview. Why can’t I just make my own loadouts instead of using premade loadouts? Why are the only maps in rotation the same maps that’ve been in rotation since the release of Mixtape? Why aren’t you guys improving ALL of Apex rather than just focusing on BR? Not everyone is playing Apex for BR, and theres just so much potential in more Arena Shooter style gamemodes, and it just sucks that Apex, at the moment, is incapable of reaching that potential. 

I legitimately believe that mixtape needs more maps. We’re stuck in a loop of having the same 4-5 maps with one different map every once in a while. I also believe that weapon balancing needs to be different for Apex BR and Apex Mixtape. Mixtape NEEDS to feel faster than BR not just feel like a small BR. There are tons of things I’d like to see, like Encore or Drop Off coming into Mixtape rotation. I’d also like to see more challenges being Non Br related, again im not much of a BR enjoyer but seeing as theres a high chance that every week my Battlepass challenges will be 7/10 BR challenges it really makes me not want to grind the battlepass, in turn making me not play the game. I’d also like to see more guns have a spotlight. Every season it feels like theres always 1 or 2 guns that are must-haves, leading to the game feeling extremely repetitive. Most of all I’d like for Apex to be a game i want to play.

  • @Specifiic I believe BR is likely the popular focused mode but you are right, why not support all modes that people play more.

    More maps or map changes more frequency. Map voting. Getting to choose the mode instead of it being a rotation would be good too.
  • I've never put that much thought into this game but you make a very valid argument for additions and/or upgrades to the game. They really just update certain aspects of the game rather than the game over all with new seasons.

    As always, I say give the people whatever it is they want. But I'm always surprised to hear that people want to play Apex without playing battle royale. There are so many good arena shooters out there if that's your thing. Why come to a battle royale game if you don't like battle royale and the thing you really want is so readily available in other places?
