Re: anyone else actually enjoying the game?

thank you for all the replies its honestly interesting to hear i only have 3 issues with the game(to expand on my first post)

1 the servers are still dodgy, but not always sometimes they are great its just not very consistent

2 lack of progress, since i am a level 500 character apex packs are rare unless i want to buy them, would have preferred something like overwatch where you buy the game and get lootboxes/apex packs every level, even every 5 level's gave me something to look forward to and gave me something to earn now i dont have that, still obviously play and love the game but it feels better to get stuff while playing

3 my heirloom, got a bloodhound heirloom before heirloom shards were a thing, i really love the look of rampart's heirloom and really want fuse's heirloom when it comes out, i cant get either because i already got an heirloom and i had zero choice and its for a character i do not play, i mean yes i could spend money to get heirlooms but its a lot of money for an heirloom

my issues with the game are things that could be fixed, i am still hoping they give every account 1 free(even if it was $20 to be able to get heirloom shards in replacement for actually being able to choose my heirloom is a deal i would take)

still having fun but that unwanted heirloom is still sitting there mocking me :P would feel much better to have an heirloom i actually want

here's hoping i can get a fuse get's a replica of his golden grenade and i can actually have it instead of that bloodhound heirloom i dont want

    Agree with a lot of things here. Can't relate with the heirloom thing though since I still don't have one after 2 years. LOL! As for the Overwatch comparison, I still think they should move to the Free to Play format and you can definitely see the lack of players recently having 15+mins queue times. Honestly, I don't think that OW2 will make a significant impact. 

    If they fix these minor problems that are lingering throughout multiple seasons and have stable servers, Apex will be the biggest and definitely the best BR in the long run. For now, they really need to work on that. As I've said before, at its core apex is still a great game but dear god please fix these small issues in the game. It took them weeks to fix for a single animated banner pose to somehow disconnect people and even some people still experience this.

    @Cheese9Mani love the idea of heirlooms they are unique and interesting and i get why they are so sought after i just wish i was allowed to choose mine because how rare they are i just feel duped that i didnt get a choice which honestly makes me less interested in spending money because i feel duped, i do think the issues overwatch is going through doesnt have to do with it being a game you need to buy it has a lot of other issues but you could be right no one wants to wait 15 minutes for a match i just wish it was an option to pay for the game and get apex packs every level

    just something feels so good about opening them.......until you get a bunch of whites and blues 😛 but i do miss the excitement of opening them.

    i do think apex is the best BR already even with the servers, but i just imagine how much better it would be with stable servers, it could be bigger than pretty much anything else

    sure i am salty about the heirloom..........but i want my heirloom :P at least i didnt get wraith's since i never use her, at least i occasionally use bloodhound

    hopefully you get an heirloom of your choice soon, gibby's heirloom(i assume you main gibby) looks so good, best heirloom in the game imo

  • @Swarth2300 I’ve been enjoying the game since launch, it’s had it’s ups and downs over the past 10 seasons, but overall I think the game has continued to improve.

    I’ve been playing RESPAWN’s games since CoD Modern Warfare, & have stuck with them as a studio, purely based on the CORE Mechanics of their FPS games.

    I still think, to this day, that there is no better FPS out there, that has the smoothness & quality gunplay as ANY of RESPAWN’s games.

    The only thing, in my opinion that was missing from their games was Character/Personality, as im not a huge fan of Military Games in general.

    APEX Legends solved that issue for me, which is why I love the game so much.

    Having a competitive FPS with Character, Personality, & Story/Lore makes FPS games much more appealing to someone like me, who typically plays RPGs, & Racing games.

    So YES I AM enjoying the game, I always do. The only problem I have with APEX, is the Hackers/Cheaters that continue to plaque our lobbies.

    Even in Public matches. Like I’ve always said, “these *clowns* need to be, rounded up and thrown, into a VOLCANO🌋

    @Swarth2300you complain about the server in 1 sentence and then dedicate 10+ to talk about heirlooms... sure that is your viewpoint and it has a place to be.

    At the same time this indicates "the market trend" and (unfortunately) I see this way too often in this game - people are focused so much on heirlooms, badges, and visuals than the game itself.

    That begs a question - given "limited resources" why on earth should Respawn do something different than they are now = focusing all the attention to micro-transactions, game visuals?! Why fix servers if people will still complain about lost badges, missing heirlooms, not being able to get dive-trails, etc...

    You get what you ask for 🙂

  • I would LIKE to enjoy the game but everytime I get teammates 90% of the cases they do nothing or yell at u bc they can't play and rush to get downed. I mean how can a gamer be so dumb like that? The last time I downed 2 of 3 solo (bc both were down) but the worst part ist that one of my mates was so far away where the enemy loba could use her finisher so she had her shields back up and me? I had only 3% life left no shields or whatever  bc I had to get two of his mates (and to add: I am a gold player so I can't carry people even if I wanted to).

    It's so frustating because most of the gamer don't know the word "TEAMWORK" ffs. It's really hard to enjoy the game if you have almost everyday those player who wants to be a crackhead but in the end they are at fault bc the whole team is killed, just because of their stupid ego.

  • @Eshshshss fair enough but i have not really had too many issues with the servers but i feel screwed over by the heirloom i got forced to get, that said i did cope with cyberpunk on day 1 on a ps4 so maybe i am just used to games breaking.

    its also hard to tell for me if the servers being laggy is an issue with my internet or if its just the servers because my internet just like the servers is inconsistent so its hard to tell why the game is being laggy at any time for me.

    i guess the servers are more an inconvenience for me(but now i have started playing ranked maybe i will be more critical of the servers since up until yesterday i pretty much only played pubs, also i dont get what i ask for i still have not gotten the option to choose my heirloom

    @Swarth2300just few minutes ago I finished in silver ranked as champions playing solo, but the question is if I won because I was good, or if it was because I played Wraith, or if it was because one of my squad members had 7 kills and the other 7 asists, or is it because I overclocked my gpu slightly more and played on 1080p instead of 900p, or is it because I drank an energy drink (which I drink once every month or so).

    Perhaps they all played part, perhaps the enemies were weaker this game.

    It was quite fun honestly, apart from top 5 to 4 where I got sniped by a sniper squad, but luckily to my calculations they got doomed because another squad attacked them.

    I wish all of you same luck and decent squadmates just as I had this game. And no lags. 🙂

    @damsonwhufndthis The game is so much more fun when teammates do stuff, help out and such. Nothing triggers me more than teammates without a shoot button in a FPS, especially while you're fighting and they allow a Wattson to literally flank your cover, through the open(!!), and letting her down you without shooting one single bullet at her, despite them being behind me and must've seen her unless they play a FOV on 3.
    I usually find that one teammate who does +700-800 dmg is enough for a good shot at winning and having a fun game, despite how little the 3rd one does. Like this game:

    @CCbathwaterdon't worry, I also meet players who play like they unbound their leftclick in settings or unplugged their mouse

    but this thread is about enjoying the game, and frankly I'm having quite the blast despite getting some bad teammates well, it is what it is, I at congratulate myself for downing a guy before dying, because that basicaly should be already enough job done

    I find Arenas in perticular to be more fun than BR, firstly because of how fast the game ends you still get pretty good amount of EXP (I care about that), and it eleminates the RNG from ground loot so you can either get a random weapon or be a sweaty tryhard and pick one of your best guns and totally demolish the enemy team

    I for example tend to run RE45 first round, than whatever I feel fancy, if the enemy is tryharding with good guns and starts winning,  I simply do the same and outmatch them most of the time, if we win, I grab a weapon that I wanna try, and it's a great oppertunity to get the hang of guns you don't usually use when you're winning and the enemy is bad

    and lastly since arenas don't take long time, you won't find yourself playing for long with bad teammates even if they are stalling

    good luck, and good day

    @MadameRose66 welcome to the real world :D agree and only thing remaining for us here to do is to pray that this tendency applies only to Apex gameplay not everyday life as otherwise all those movies about brainless zombies soon will become our reality :D

    @Swarth2300 if you are not sure about network connection just download any freeware for the purpose you can easily find in google 🙂 problem solved.

    If the issue is server you usually are either "rubber banding" = time to time you and/or enemies teleport, game speed slows or increases, not to mention higher than usual ping or packet loses that are indicated in the advanced monitor you can easily enable in-game itself.

    Plus you can always ask your teammates how they feel about the game connection at a time, unless they will be far away from your location there are chances that you should experience similar/same quality of gaming.

    The rest is probably you, your hardware and mental struggles over heirloom :D :D :D

    @damsonwhufndthis impossible given 2 days ago a friendly player who might have been called Good vibes just trashed me (in a more polite way than some others but still) and said he will not play with me :P

    @damsonwhufndthis that is something i love about apex, you can be on the edge of being eliminated and then all of a sudden the enemy attacking you is attacked and you are able to clutch out a few rezes, or clutch a respawn and then come back
