Re: Were the servers attacked?

Let's admit a few facts

Respawn is extremely good at story telling, game design and game mechanics, they are able to create games what literally gets you hooked.

There is 2 major problems.

1 They have no clue how to maintain a game, all seen in TF1, TF2 and Apex, but I do give that I don't know how much control do they have over Apex because of EA

2. Is the security issue, with all respect and hats off towards Hideouts who dedicated a large amount of energy to ban cheaters, one man is not enough to stop everything, and again with all respect it is really funny that their only solution was to hire one man

Yes, I know that there is no easy way to stop hacker, but some type of basic fundamentals of an anti-cheat system or security plan should have been made to at least reduce the chances of the server hacks and take it more seriously towards fixing the issues

What happened now in my books is serious, and I lost that minimal trust what I had towards this company.

And for those who are praying to be fixed, okay, but what's next? Because if these hacker went this far, they will go further

I just really feel sorry for those people who invested money in this game, like seriously I do, because Respawn took the money, and we are not talking about small amounts, and in reward they cant even provide a balanced game with at least minimal security

    @Renegade_Prime86 In regards to Hideouts they do a great job to ban cheaters who are using aimbots and smaller hacks like that but when it comes to the people who hacked into the game yesterday they stand no chance.

    I remember years ago now when Sony had PSN Hacked, these are big fish and it is a serious issue if people are already getting into Apex.

    @Renegade_Prime86 But your facts and not facts. Respawn is not good at story telling, I'd say it's terrible. Getting worse and worse and current comic is the culmination of cringe and male cow excrement.

    Then why "hats off towards Hideouts" if anyone one, literally anyone, can create as many accounts as they wish? It's like trying to pour over water from one container to another using sieve. I am sure none of the cheaters could care less since they don't have any respect for the game, other players and themselves in the first place.

    Also you say they will go further. How can we know that some malicious software was not already installed across millions of machines already through hacked Apex app? Obviously Respawn will say it's all good and no worries, because what else can they say
