The return to apex

I've taken a Fairley sizable break from apex, like from week two or three of the season, and I've finally returned. Been playing destiny along with apex till I just started playing the destiny season of the splicer. (Got to help those little eliksni babies.) And I had a lot of fun. Fun game play, good writing. 

However I found myself drawn back to this particular game once again. And what so I come back to? Laggy servers, toxic leaving teammates, and unbearable sweats of course! Buy taking that break has made playing apex quite fun again. I feel detoxified from what was making it all not fun. 

I still feel like apex needs something. Something different, something changed or added. But till then I'm having tons of fun again. (Probably cause I'm scratching that masochistic itch that I haven't for a few weeks, in playing for hours just to get a win that I'm not even alive for.)

I've got lots of ideas for my apex season concepts as well and I can't wait to start on part four of "D.K.'s legends."

I've noticed on here a lot of people are having frustrating problems and issues so try what I did, take a break and when you come back you may find yourself as that smile new legend that first logged in and jump off the drop ship into kings canyon. Full of hope, full of courage, before all that was utterly and decisively crushed by instantly getting thrown back to the lobby. 

Here's sending good vibes to all you legends old and new!

  • @DK9027 Same here. Once I finish the battlepass and complete the event tracker for each event, I take a break from the game since I'm also level 500 and there's nothing more to grind for. Even if i return for a few hours, I would play casually, aggressive and hot drop just to shoot people.

    My real life apex friends and I are playing Paladins on PS4/5 during our apex breaks and I'm currently enjoying a lot of Monster Hunter Rise on Switch which I bring at work.

    @Cheese9Man You going to play MH Stories? I’m eyeballing it. After I finished the main story of Rise I didn’t want to play the ‘hub side’ like my buddies did even tho the story kinda progresses there.

    But I’m in the same boat. I was going for bp 100 in apex and do the event if I see fun stuff and then take my leave before new season (or the ‘event’ before every new season where you have to do random stuff to get a glimpse of next season). But I had fun with @MandatoryIDtag, @MrCarri-X, @maximas1986, @GH0STEDbyME and @fallenH3ll this weekend so I’m now 106...
  • @DK9027 Firstly, a break from Apex is always a positive thing. I do similar to you, I complete the battle pass and make diamond, then I will only play when my friends want me to and I just fool around with other legends and stuff.

    I don't really think this game needs much more to be honest, what it needs is some serious work on the backend rather than the front. I think a lot of people would be much happier if they decided not to bring new content out for a season and focused all of their time on fixing the in game issues such as the audio, matchmaking and other bugs that pop up.

    The game is great, it's fun, its different, it just needs some serious work and it will continue to get more and more popular!
  • @Koochi-Q Ah, I see...

    Having fun without me? No invites?

    Why can't you have fun with Rockyboy huh?

    Is it because I'm so insanely good at the game that you have absolutely ZERO chance of killing anyone because I kill them first? Is it because my movement is so good that I NEVER get shot and dodge every single bullet?

    Or is it just because I haven't been online when you've been online?
  • @DK9027  It's definitely a good thing to take a break, I'm playing more often than I did although I've limited myself to just playing weekends now. For me personally i just found I was too tired to really play apex after work and it was just amplifying the things that aggravate me on this game lol.

    Just started outriders yesterday and damn that game is fun. 😛

  • @Koochi-Q I have the first MH stories downloaded in my phone but I haven't touched it yet. Just started Rise and so far I like my doggo. xD

    @rockyboy1998Of course! No invites because you’re out of my league! While I’m in a league you’re in something else so shrouded in mystery that I don’t even know the name of what commoners should use to address the thing you’re in!

    That + I don’t have you in my friend list. Also because I used last weekend as my departure until S10. Might play some matches here and there but mostly be absent, unless I like the cosmetics of the upcoming event.

    @MandatoryIDtag outriders is smexy but watch out. I played it since day 1/2, as you might recall I was waiting for it since the announcement trailer last year, and the game was/is buggy. It got so bad that most ppl left cause there was a literal gamebreaking bug that removed your acc or deleted your progress. Also a ton of other bugs. It’s better now since last week and articles are praising it again so community is going up again (which should happen cause the game is fun) but still be mindful. 

    @Cheese9Man lolz on your phone?! Why not on switch ☹️ I’ve yet to play the first stories but this stories got my attention and thats why I wanna play it... but with all the games I want to play on switch it’ll get too much love while my xbox sits pining for me... xD

  • @DK9027 I used to play Destiny quite a lot but dropped off it when all of my friends stopped playing. I think that's pretty fun to play and it's one of those when you get bored you can just switch modes. What class(/es) do you play as? I was the same when I came back to Apex. Phased it out a little and was enjoying other stuff when I wasn't raging at Apex xD Battlefront 2 and GTA were a welcome change of pace.

    @rockyboy1998 "Having fun without me? No invites? Why can't you have fun with Rockyboy huh?"

    No comment ¬_¬

    @MandatoryIDtag I played the beta and launch so basically only when it hyped xD Was fun to play when you could actually get into the game and bugs weren't game breaking. What classes did you play as?

    @Koochi-Q Buggy as hell. I'm one of those players that rage uninstalled xD

    @GH0STEDbyME I'm a warlock main. I love swords so dawn blade fits well, and it's super fun to be emperor Palpatine with storm caller.
