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 some point. (If I read it right, there will already be a Halloween event on King'S Canyon)

Why can you not just try enjoy the new map and start to explore all the new things? I am sure, you will find some great spots to fight on.

At least wait some more days with your criticism. It takes time to get used to something new.

And yes, it was dev's intention to make to new map more open in order bring more distance into the fights.If you like it or not, it's meta now. Get used to it or play smething else.

Personally I had a blast on trainyard, jumping with the Charge Rifle from building to buidling on high ground was so much fun and brought us the first Win.

Also had some good fights in rafinery and sorting factory. But still, so much more to explore. Can't wait to go back.

    @Fr3dY2 I tend to agree. I could see the argument that the new gun needs a nerf on one hand. But on the other hand, that gun gives your exact location away and you have to stay exposed for a bit more time then say with a triple take or longbow. Longbow you can line up the shot take 2 shots and be behind cover fairly quick.

    the new gun you have to line up the shot and charge the shot it's finally taken.. Then take another shot. So there are some weak points to it. Whether those weak points will be enough to give other guns such as the G7 and Longbow a fair chance against it in a gun fight who knows?
  • It’s really a simple request to add a new map without removing the old one. I mean it’s already made, just let us play both. 

  • @Silz616 It's not entitlement, the ''I want brigade'' as you call it who are asking for more content when playing the same map for well over 6 months are getting bored. I think is fair to ask for more maps/modes when yes KC had small changes but in essence it's the same.

    Lots obviously don't like the new content as it moves away from the style of fast paced shooter we originally started playing and was advertised.

    We had Elite and people spoke out against camping but they put it into ranked (to get rid of hot drops and fits into the ''comp scene'' I understand this but makes it boring af to play and watch).

    Anything used often that people enjoy gets floored to expand the use of other items or legends but have they changed the longbow? Hell no, that fits into the camping meta they are promoting when almost everyone I have spoken to prefer the high intensity short/mid range fights.

    Loot one area in the new map and it can take quite awhile to get elsewhere and if you don't have a weapon or armour you will get caught with your pants down, you call that fun?

    I personally preferred the military style/sci fi fast paced shooter compared to this lava demon, ice golem, fortnite feeling, camping meta that S3 brought. It feels cheap and tacky but not all is doom and gloom..

    I love having a new area to explore, high rise buildings and train are a great addition and the lava effects look cool but the game is moving away from its potential in my eyes and I have gone from playing loads to couple hrs here and there with the hope but not expectation they will pull it back.

    So when players have already given the feedback but they release what they don't want/enjoy, I fully understand when they complain.

    I’m late to the party so lemme say, Happy Birthday All! New map, new sets of crybabies coming out with the waterworks, still can’t believe they’re a year older and start crying and pouting! Hurray!

    Lemme tell you a true story. I once got held up in a cage for so long that I’d grown to like it. Didn’t see sunlight for days until I did and I didn’t like it, while at first I really liked sun. That cave was my room, and the sun was... well the actual sun.

    It seems like that’s happzening now. People complaining about no new map, need for a new map or drastic improvement for King’s Canyon. It has changed and people were like ‘YESS FINALLY!’ played it for 1 hour it seems and were like ‘SNIPERS! SNIPERS! GD SNIPERS!!!’

    Well I’m here to tell you all, yes it’s definitely more open landscaped. Abundantly more sniper battles per match it seems BUT if you can’t use your wit to adapt (that word has been uttered alot lately) if you can’t snipe or don’t have a sniper, you should
    A. focus on improving your skills/abilities
    B. stop playing this game or BR in general
    C. continue to waste your time and energy crying to a bunch of internet persona’s that don’t care about you or your post most likely.

    I hadn’t played apex for 2 weeks, played wednesday, tired from working but wanted to see how the new map is, especially after all the posts/threads I’d seen. First match: horrid for my doing, second match, relatively fine, third match, was back to my old self. In all those matches I saw sniper fire and was attacked by it, but without knowing the lay of the land, I outmanoeuvred and outplayed my enemies till I got that win. If you’re wondering; 8 kills and just shy over 1.4K dmg. My teammates? You mean those drag-me-downs? 56:0 and 160:1 dmg/kill. And this continued.

    I don’t like change. I was perfectly content with King’s Canyon, but hey, you gotta learn to go with the flow... if it’s forced or educated going along that is. Cause I’ve seen so many speak of ‘bring king canyon back/why won’t it ever return/why no circulation of the 2 maps’ when the patch note clearly state that they took out King’s Canyon out of circulation to test some things and that they will look on how to put it back. Yet some or most of you likely heard 1 thing from 1 person. Took it as fact and spread misguided intel which other TLDR no-brainers saw and continued to spread.

    A good lesson for you people is life. See what happends when life doesn’t give you healthy lemons but rotten ones. Are you gonna cry about it, look at them or form a plan and make a new batch!

    @apostolateofDOOMYou're crazy if you think that S3 has more camping than S2. S2 wattson meta was by far the pinnacle of camping in this game (take a house and do nothing - optimal play 95% of the time). S3 feels MUCH more dynamic (well it will probably settle down to something slower, but as slow as S2? - I don't see it ever happening).
    If you can't deal with snipers - that's strictly your l2p problem.

    Charged rifle does a bit too much damage, but not on a problematic level. It just pushes other snipers out a bit. And it's definitely still not a viable weapon in CQC.

    Double CQC loadouts are definitely viable, as long as you DON'T IGNORE the existence of snipers. If you try to get close to them through an open area while they're shooting you - well I dunno what to tell you, don't do that?

  • @Biochemikas I don't have a problem with snipers, either using or against and I still haven't played enough of the new map to really say much on it.
    I meant on the evolution of the game since launch and the opinion/complaints towards the fun factor.

    The only issue I have is the cartoon style creeping through that is starting to look like fortnite and is really putting me off the game.

    I can agree on the color scheme of the new map. It's atrocious (especially the bright yellows). But so far I've seen only praise for it, so I'll stay as the silent minority.

    P.S. I'm probably going to make separate color profile on my monitor just for this map of apex with heavily reduced saturation and maybe even contrast. I don't know how much I'll be able to take this oversaturated landscape playing with normal monitor settings.
