TDM 24/7?

After I opened a topic about this yesterday and it got deleted without a word, I'll try again! (If there is anything wrong with what I say here, tell me at least instead of deleting it without a reason)

Why do you substitute modes/playlists instead of adding them?

I am not a big fan of TDM for example but I loved controll.. why didn't you just add the 24/7 TDM ADDITIONAL to the mixtape playlist like you did with the controll 24/7 for example?

Same with solos/duos.. why is there a need to substitute duos with solos instead of adding it additional?

Like.. I remember that this was an issue seasons back with event modes where people complained about not being abled to play trios and/or duos becuase it was a "takeover"?

Trios is not playable for me (as a solo) because the matchmaking throws me constantly in master/pred lobbies (and I am plat 4 peak).

Ranked is not playable at the moment because of the huge amount of cheaters.

Solos is too sweaty for me as a casual.

And now the only mode I like to play nowdays is gone too (for a week at least..)

Sorry, If this hits a nerve but the number of average players is the lowest since 2021 (from what I know) and things like this make even more players leaving the game.

I know this probably won't change anything in this week but PLEASE change that in the future. If you add LTM to the game, just make them ADDITIONAL. Please!

  • The fact that you even need to explain this to a group or video game developers is asinine to say the least. Everything you said is simply put - common sense! 

    It is saddening that these sort of things were not thought through period. This question pops up all the time for years now. Do these Devs ever or even play this game at all? The decision making doesn't even make sense, considering an increasing player base and revenue, is the main goal of studios and their stakeholders. 

  • I agree completely and it is why I am here. My other post months ago was about the spawn timers in control so its quite funny to me that its now unplayable and I am venting about it again. 

    I don't understand why mix tape is even a thing and we only get 15 mins of one mode; we end up with 8v9's all the time and no players to replace, the afk timer hasn't been touched and makes 7v9s common. We have players who like one game mode not contribute to the other modes points system because of it. 

    I am bored of the BR, I don't like gun game that much, I now hate TDM. I just played for 30 mins before this post and couldn't handle it anymore and came to see if its been mentioned. 

    The game is stale and restricted in so many ways. They should leave all the maps in as well and maybe randomise the maps, its so repeatative with little reward.

    They should have kept arenas, and made mix tape all seperate game modes and we would have a decent mix of game types.

  • @mypkonlyhitsfor9 Sometimes the forum glitches on long posts and they disappear. I doubt you said anything bad.

    As for the rest, I agree, more options are needed. If a mode isn't popular it will die naturally.
  • @mypkonlyhitsfor9i wish they would just listen to the community... they are doing so many stupid things, not making any effort in important and gamebreaking things that need attention asap and than removing gamemodes people like... i dont get it. everybody could have told them thats a bad idea but hey, if EA thinks it is a good idea... ;(

    why cant we just have multiple gamemodes so we are able to play what we like according to how many friends are online? why does ALWAYS someone has to suffer

    Yeah, glad I'm on a break as this is... to a Mixtape-only player what are you doing here, Respawn? I could accept the lack of Control and do some TDM, but I hear you've changed 50 kills win to 35? Why? What is it with these fundamental changes to the modes, that, on Mixtape, are all for the worse? The only Mixtape change that was for the better was the faster capture on Control. Everything else has made the modes worse. May I again point to the removal of auto shield-regen? From fast paced fun shooting unlimited to a running and healing simulator. Why?

  • I was extremely happy to see tdm be available 24/7. Its non-stop action-packed gameplay compared to most game modes with downtime. By downtime, I mean how long it takes to respawn how long it takes to pick weapons having to watch kill cams it to me forcefully is the only game mode with the least amount of downtime. Gun games is bleh to me as I wouldn't say I like how that system is set up for me if I play gun game I expect to rotate through every single gun the game has like other traditional games. Control is fun but also more of a tdm but the downtime on control is much greater than tdm. Now if it was gun game 24/7 id def be in your shoes and upset so I can agree with you to the point that some things should not be made perm that long maybe quicker rotations on that would be better. I don't mind a day or two of that game mode but the long period on a mode someone may not like is rough considering a lot do not have a lot of play time.

    @CCbathwater Yea, the changing to kills was a weird change for me. 50 kills is nothing with some folks out there farm 10-20 kills themselves. 35 makes the game to quick. By the kill amount I'm guessing the system might be trying to get someone in a match every 10-15 minutes for quick match making giving the illusion of more play time.
  • I'm assuming like all forums this is just a place for complaints that nobody cares about hence no apex legends feedback answer but on the 0% chance I'm wrong I agree with this guy
