Stop whining, start exploring and adapting!
It's pathetic, how fast you guys start whining about the new map, instead of accepting the fact, that changes can be a good thing. The dev's already confirmed, to bring back King's Canyon back at so...

@JjumpingJjack Don't know if the loot is a problem, I felt like there's a lot of it all over and a lot of time to grab stuff. At some point, I was wondering why hasn't the enemy lazered my hoarding legend yet.
Probably you are right and it is not such an issue. We simply just do not know for now, where the open loot is located exactly because we do not have much experiece with the new landing zones. I am sure we will talk differently about it after 50 - 100 matches.
Well the loot feels quite scarce on the new map, as if it's the same amount of loot in all that bigger area. But the main problem is that we don't know the loot spots yet, so looting is excruciatingly slow and many lootpaths end in a dead end XD (exactly the same thing happened in february in King's canyon). First step - find the purple loot areas, second step - find the guaranteed purple spawn points. After figuring that out, the game will feel a lot faster and we'll probably have enough time to collect enough shield cells and meds (so far this seems to be the major issue in most of my games). Also, I wonder if there's a different way to get a vault key than just from the flying boxes... So far, I haven't gotten it even once (3 golden boxes destroyed) and I haven't even seen the vault opened at all.
- @Biochemikas Players are very confused. I reached the loot train in round 2 of the match and, to my surprise, found most of the crates untouched.
@DoYaSeeMe Well the 2 times I looted the train it had practically nothing, so landing on it is extremely risky - if you get competition, you're most likely screwed (unless you know where everyone landed and know where you can jump off).
So far I had best experience in the Dome. Almost never contested and has decent loot more often than not. And it's also quite easy to scout with crypto. It rarely has 3 good armors though.
I was of the whiners too 😞
Most probably it's just "resistance to change" but well, I didn't like it much. Having so many open, wide spaces didn't feel like "former" Apex Legends at all.
I know it's just a matter of learning the new map and adapting but ok, I'm just sharing my first impressions.
I'll keep trying for sure, and I hope I like it. Let's see!
PD: Do you like Crypto's drones around? 😃
@Fr3dY2Well we were playing gold games, filled with diamond players. I'd say that's quite a harsh way to start learning the map playing from a couch 😉
I played a lot of crypto after you left and I'd say he's fun. Watching everything unfold around you. The one problem I found is that some of the teammates just kept leaving me behind and I was always late for fights... Crypto really needs a team that can actually wait for him, or the wraith needs to get used to always initiate a portal near crypto when going into a fight.
In one game i was left last man standing with 6 teams left and I just hid in a corner flying around watching them fight, like a TV show XD. I ended up being focused by both remaining teams when the final circled closed on an open area (well I did show myself too early since I wanted to get revenge for shooting my drone XD). But camping is definitely much more entertaining playing crypto. Pulling off a successful ultimate seemed easy enough for me, but it rarely worked vs me, since I almost always shot the drone before it could finish the ult. I guess the enemies didn't precharge it while going in. On the other hand, crypto can every easily FIND such rats XD. Luckily there were no other crypto's in that game, so I could watch in peace.I think he's a great addition to the game. Would be interesting to see what he can do to a wattson, but so far I haven't seen a single wattson on ranked on the new map (I've seen walls, but somehow neither of those wattsons reached endgame). The drone does clear caustic traps in quite large radius, so should work well enough vs wattson too.
