This Is Why AAA Devs Ignore Your Feedback
Video from Garbaj here. Quote of importance: "If all you do is complain about a problem and then log in to play the game regardless, you're signaling to the devs that it's not actually that big a d...

@NullEffective9For those that feel that the state of legends in apex is fine, or mostly fine, but the bugs are out of control, you can participate in no apex August. This is not about not playing, it is about not spending any more money in apex for the month of August. This does not include crafting materials or legend tokens, only the purchase of apex coins.
I haven't played this game for 3 years and was excited when I started playing again almost 3 months ago but there's a lot of bugs and issues on this game. It's getting to a point where I'm frustrated more than half the time. I stopped spending on the game because I'm not sure if I want to invest anymore on it.
Well, that for SURE is a mistake.
I mean, on the surface, that makes sense. But that's like fail 101 in understanding people. People who complain and who log into a game are the ones who care about your game, but want to see changes. And when you ignore that, yeah, you know what? They eventually leave. And then, duh, some dev 'Wonder's why?'
It's not some big mystery. Those who don't care, really, about the game, ditch it immediately. Those who play and don't complain are the ones who are fine with the way things are. But if you care about expanding your own game, you should care an awful lot about what those who play, but complain, and who you might lose, are saying.
Garbaj needs a good knock in the head, but I doubt he has any real experience on what feedback is supposed to be used for. I mean, devs probably don't have that much either. It's pretty obvious that games that have lost popularity have had a lot of people complaining while they played, and then those people quit. See 'OVERWATCH' for a constant list of failure in this department :P. although it isn't the only one.
- @KelRiever On a related note, Overwatch is also a shining example of a problem that also plagues Apex, which is that balancing decisions have to be made with highly different segments of the player base in mind. A great example is the current concern over Valkyrie. What makes her a problem for the average player is not the same as what makes her a problem for competitive play. Overwatch definitely made a lot of decisions that were good for OWL play but bad for the average player base. I won't pretend to know what is the best approach to this problem, but I'm not sure the developers do either.
@KelRiever @pandareno1999 I hated almost every big change they did to overwatch but darn it they caught me and I’m hyped for OW2. I guess I’m just hungry for an arena hero shooter. So far they’re doing a pretty good job correcting their past mistakes by having better communication with the community with the recent AMA. We’ll see if the game holds up at launch.
On topic. I agree to both of you guys. It’s Respawn’s job to filter out the complaints and to discern which ones are valid.
Apex is a wonderful game and its core gameplay is amazing. It has these small bugs but add them all up it becomes this one big mess of a game. I have a lot of respect for the devs at Respawn and developing games is not easy but I would be lying if I didn’t say they’re slow in fixing these bugs.
- @Cheese9Man Number one should be better servers lol.
