Re: Is Apex dying ? Why I hate Apex and what I loved about it.

First thing I would do if this was my game is get rid of these losers who keep defending a game that needs criticism for improvement.

2nd, I would remove evo shields, highest armor would be blue and nothing more for anyone, ever.

3rd, I'd lower recoil on weapons, or make it random. No reason to fight the stupid thing.

4th, I'd remove bullet drop.

5th, I'd remove slow down effect from being shot.

6th, I'd ban 3rd party hardware, and your ip would be banned permanently. If I had the power I would brick your console entirely.

7th, I'd split console and pc lobbies. Competitions can do whatever they see fit, don't care.

8th, I would create a team specializing in anti cheat big enough to actually deal with the volume. And when you are banned it's permanent via hardware. Also option for matches to be recorded from all perspectives, like Fortnite has.

9th, No smurf accounts AKA 1 account per ip.

10th, I would enhance colors and features of character models so they actually stand out more on all backgrounds.

11th, I would get rid of audio issues, even if it means firing the whole current team, after 4 years this current state isn't acceptable. You should hear footsteps and where they're coming from.

12th, Better / more servers in places that have none.

13th, Remove sbmm from pubs to make the casual mode truly casual and fair. Challenges are random and so are matches. This is not a competition, you are choosing to play random people in PUBS which basically makes it a FFA mode, so accept random outcomes vs skill.

One can dream, right? 🙂

I know this is all "pie in the sky" stuff, but this would be my solution to "save" Apex. But I don't think it's in trouble. There's simply no shortage of new players joining only to be disappointed later, like yourself 🙂

    You had me right up until #13! But seriously, for any two players to agree on 12 out of 13 anything, including the time of day, is pretty amazing. Well done.

    Respawn worked at increasing the TTK overall in this game the last bunch of seasons. However while playing the game, it feels anything like a high TTK. If anything IMO, it needs more TTK. Last couple of seasons most are being one clipped constantly from distance with subs. 

    The game will never be what it was. I feel bad for the Devs that created the game. I feel what the new Devs have done was not only a slap in the face to the originals but embarrassing as well. 

    One of the best games ever made, worst maintained game ever produced. 

    66 million players - yes I'll go out on a ledge and say 20 million of that at least are multiple accounts, alt or smurf accounts. Either way, large player base. Anywhere from 300,000 - 500,000 players at any given time.... and how many marcos sold again - anyone. 

    2.5 MILLION sold just through Covid alone. The companies selling these have been sold out for over a year and on back order. Again 2.5 million sold. You can take to the bank well over half the player base at any given time based on those numbers alone are using these to compete. Apex Legends in a nut shell. We all know that nobody plays just one game. Everyone I know and those 66 million players don't just play APex. They play Fortnite, COD, Valorant, Over watch. so yes, all multi-player games that are competitive are riddled with the same. 

    The difference is some other game companies are willing to try and combat the 2.5 million players using macros (much higher I'm sure now) as that number was almost 2 years ago.  

    However we can see factual information that EA does not. 

    Apex legends in a nut shell - EA doesn't want to spend money on better servers / EA doesn't want to spend money on better Anti-cheat like there competitors / EA doesn't care about your gaming experience / EA cares about money and profit. 

    So for all the ppl that * and complain about Apex and the cheaters and the servers and the reveal meta out of control et cetera - just keep spending money and buying their crap. Continue to contribute to the problem. The only real problem is ppl give them their money. Stop and either one of two things will happen - 1 Apex will die (might be the best thing) / 2 EA will finally dip into their Billions and resolve long standing issues. 

    Happy gaming.

    I can't but agree with you almost across the board. And yet, like the sucker I am, I read things like this...

    https://www.ggrecon.com/articles/ea-pledges-huge-investment-for-apex-legends-and-ea-sports-fc/

    ...and I think, "Hey, maybe this time they really mean it." I'm sure Andrew Wilson does mean that EA intends to "invest" in the game, but does that mean real anti-cheat or new sweat shops to crank out cosmetics to sell? And how does EA define "huge?" Does it mean tens of millions of dollars or a hundred thousand to re-hire two out of the multitude they've recently laid off? Only time will tell.

    Just my guess here Recon - I'll go with  - what they most likelly meant is, they will invest more on the production of skins, bundles, events etc... 

    I hope I am wrong, but we in life base our assumptions and opinions off of factual events and experiences we have seen, faced throughout our lives. 

  • @reconzero Bro, for real, it's all good, but when are you going to let go of this ancient disbelief in #13? Like we know it doesn't work, right? never has. So let's just go ahead and remove that last head from the proverbial Hydra then 🙂 I would, and you would thank me even though you don't know it yet lol 🙂 I would "wreck your game" in a good way.

    Do not be afraid, you would still do well I think, that's all that matters to anyone,  so you would have nothing to worry about : ) Trust guys, we don't need people telling us who to play, we just play and let things happen.

    @blackeyeriver all of what you said is exactly what I wish I could do as well. If i had billions I would buy these company out from EA just to make it a reality. And to add number 14, I would add back arena's and all the maps they stopped in th.e rotation. 15. Put revenants abilities back the way they were, 16. remove the rampage, remove that pulse laser rifle, and the mastiff is gone. 17. life needs a res limit, once per person, and no more infinite heals. 18, Grenades need to stack 19, need fall damage

    I agree, we don't need another COD.

    I know they once tried to increase the TTK, however, with the amount of cheat devices... it feels like the longer TTK is non-existent.
