So one huge thing besides all of the buffs/nerfs, Evo shield, and backpack changes and muzzle flash changes that I never heard in the dev stream was footstep and sound audio is really messed up right now. Is any of that getting fixed as well?

Took them a long time, but it's a great decision.

I don't really carry grenades in my loadout any more in Apex, but I have great fun with them over at fortnite 😃

@iBlockHead it's absolutely not as easy as turning down muzzle flash brightness. I've taken a coding class, and it took me 4 50 minute sessions to fully debug a game a tic-tac-toe. There's no shame in releasing fixes players have been asking for slowly, nor am I trying to come off as some snob that's trying to bash the game for the sake of bashing the game. Take your time, release a quality product, that's my belief. TL:DR: Slowly releasing a quality product is good. Slowly releasing a product without telling anyone what's going on is bad. Imagine going into Subway but the store is pitch black, you order, they hand you a sandwich, and 25-75% of what you said wasn't addressed.There is shame however in not having transparency in what's going on in the behind the scenes. Shame in very blatantly releasing re-hashed content with spruced up skins and not mentioning anything at all about changes that are upcoming / people have been asking for. Shame in pushing collection events and advertising new changes to keep players playing, rather than making quality of life changes for crashes, slow servers, poor hit-registration, etc. etc. etc. Other games that I've played keep you in the loop, Warframe has a developer stream almost every Friday, Deep Rock Galactic notifies you on their Steam news page every single time ANYTHING at all is done to the game for both current and upcoming changes, heck even League of Legends with their terrible balance team even told you up front when, where, and why changes are happening on a weekly / monthly basis.And this is absolutely NOT to knock on their modeling and design department. The skins they pump out are PHENOMINAL. I do 3D modeling as a hobby, and designing, texturing, animating, etc. etc. is super difficult. But when you see how high end these skins are, knowing the time and effort they put into them, but then not having any mention of issues that have been a thing for seasons past, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth personally.

You think it's funny but on multiple occasions I've had someone melt me 2 ft around a corner and you can't hear him run up.. Me and my brother both concider this huge in our game play and we're both predators

@CASEYDlLLA than adjust and learn to look back every once in a while, I'm no pred and even I know to be aware of my surroundings at all times.

That being said, they said they made some adjustments to other issues in the Patch Notes so maybe one of those is to sound and all.

@CASEYDlLLA Evo is just for the event (Thank the lord) couldn’t imagine a gibby in ranked running around with one... The grenade nerf was unnecessary

If you've ever ran in pred lobbies you know there are split seconds of awareness on yours and their level.. If the game doesn't produce the sound it should and also did before season 4. I've played since release. It was never this bad.

@CASEYDlLLA Pred lobbies are filled with campers who 3rd party, you should know this by now

But again, wait until the patch drops tomorrow to be certain nothing was done about the audio

@CASEYDlLLA The sound hasn't been that great for couple seasons.

I agree that audio cues are important but being a predator or not makes little difference when everyone is suffering from the same issue.

@ColdHours Good pic. I was gonna do laugh text, but your message was much more appropriate.

@CASEYDlLLA If you’re really a predator and playing since the beginning you should know that they’re either gonna take their sweet time fixing it or never gonna fix it.

Glancing back, it’s much more prevalent to see that the focus lies more on skins & random game metas than mechanic fixes.

@Vladplaya What grenade nerf? I saw it is only 1 a slot but they are giving extra slots. Sure they are limiting ammo, meds and syringes more but I am pretty sure I can still carry the same number of grenades. I always carry too much ammo anyway.
