Thoughts on improving Apex Legends Without changing its core identity.

Well thought out. I agree with most of it.

A solo mode could be a huge boon to the game. But not the one we got at the beginning, and also not the one we got a few seasons ago. I'm not sure exactly what is the formula for a "good" solo mode, but I haven't seen it yet. And I'd like to. For all the reasons you mentioned.

I'm not sure what to say about aim assist at this point. Except what I always say, which is NO MORE CROSSPLAY. A lot of people don't see a connection between the two, but the way I see it they can't ever solve the PC controller vs. PC kbm problem until they've removed console controller from the equation. There are a million other compelling reasons to separate the lobbies, but this one is at the top of the list. Then they can tinker with aa all they want, on any platform including mine. Just don't tinker with it while I still have to face off against PC players, no matter which input they use.

Medium-sized maps terrify me. PUBG went down this road just before I left. It wasn't why I left, but it sure didn't make me want to stay either. No matter. If there are people who want it and it doesn't replace pubs then sure, let's give it a go. Although I have to say for the record: it's another step in the de-battle-royale-ification of this game and another step toward turning it into just another arena shooter. Imo. After all, deathmatch maps are pretty small. And so are Wildcard maps if you take into account the huge amount of added mobility options they have.

More modes is what this game has needed since forever. I hoped Wildcard would be the right idea, or at least change itself up enough from time to time to be fun AND replayable. But it's turned into nothing more than motion-based insanity. Which is great if you can afford to snort a few lines before every match, but it's definitely not for me anymore. Keep your speed boost, your wall running, your hoverboards or whatever the hell those were. Not fun. Imo.

No opinion on the store whatsoever so I'll leave this judgment to people who use it. Although It's worth saying that the reasons I have for not using it have nothing to do with presentation.

The audio problem is much talked about and I feel bad for anyone who has experienced these issues, but I have to unsympathetically report that I've never had any audio problems, footsteps or otherwise, that I can recall.

Overall: Good feedback. My personal hot button issues revolve around matchmaking quality, smurfing, and cheating, but I'm honestly so sick of thinking about them and talking about them and feeling like nothing ever changes (even though it actually does change, often for the better) that I'm glad to see someone else focus on some other issues. All of which are worthy of serious attention on the part of the dev. Kudos.

I think you are right on many points, just like a lot of other players. In my opinion, the best approach would be to take into account feedback from different people and identify the ideas that come up the most. This would allow the game to improve significantly. Apex Legends already has a very strong foundation; it only needs a few issues to be addressed and some fresh content added, without changing the core gameplay.

Thank you for your feedback.
