@hayhorInteresting. Personally, season 5 and season 6 I finished the battle pass with around a month to spare, But if I've done my math correctly, I'll only get this one done two weeks early. And I definitely feel like I've been putting more time in per day on average this season, because of it being so challenge heavy. I did a lot of challenges the last two seasons as well, but I was always more focused on just gaining XP and if I did challenges it was a nice addition to what I was doing, a nice add-on. This season, those challenges are your main way of earning levels and I'm just not all about that.
This change in system is probably one of the reasons why I don't really like this season. It just feels like more of a slog for me because of that. Then of course we add in things like The challenges being much grindier at the beginning of the season, the audio issues, the fact that I seem to be getting less full squads this season (The amount of times that I've cued for trios and ended up with only one teammate or by myself, has been unreal), Not having Kings canyon to play on and not really liking world's edge all that much and having some issues with Olympus, and all the other small stuff sprinkled in between, It's just felt like a really long and tiring season for me.
I honestly just kind of wanted to be over, to have a bit of a breather before season 8. And at that point, I can take all that as it comes. And, who knows, that season might be better because they might make some improvements in places I feel they need, or at the very least because I'm now more familiar with the system and with the new map and all that that I'll feel more comfortable in that season.
Honestly, one thing I can't fault season 7 for is lack of shakeup. It did really shake up the game. Between the new legend, the new map, the new battle pass system, all that stuff. I feel though how you view this season, probablyis based a lot on how receptive you were to these additions and changes. If you don't really like the new system for the battle pass, if you don't really like the new legend or the new map or what have you, you probably didn't really like the season. But if you were someone where those things jived with you, you probably think this is one of the best seasons apex has ever had.
Things like this, a lot of the time, can just boil down to personal tastes and play styles and all that. What might be horrible for me, could be great for someone else and so on. It's just a matter of can respawn/ea please enough people with whatever changes they make. And if enough people like them and are okay with them, it'll be fine. But if they aren't, things will need to change. It's really just a numbers game.
