I'm completely serious – please limit this mode to at least level 50 or 100.
The number of low-level players, 5, 10, or 20, where they're clearly cheating, is unimaginably high (EU server).
You can't play this mode during off-peak hours. In the morning or at night, you're constantly playing with these people or a 3-stack of Preds.
It's insane that I see at least 5 such low-level cheaters every hour.
Will you do something about this?
Or just ban cheaters, then legitimate new players can still play the most casual of game modes. As they should be able to.
Can you believe it? Have you seen the videos of what's happening on consoles now that haven't happened before? I think it's all out of control. The state of the game right now is very sad. :(
Honestly, I go back and forth. The "fair play" kid in me is horrified by all of this, but I can feel that kid slipping farther away every day. Having pounded my head against the multiplayer fps wall now for 25 years... I'm starting to have a very hard time getting judgmental when people want to stop being fed to better players, want to stop having a badly designed game make them feel incompetent despite years of "paying their dues," want to stop being absolutely certain that the people beating them are cheating. I just don't know. If there's such a thing as a tipping point then I would say this is it. I can't decide if this is a "can't beat 'em, time to join 'em" situation. Or if it's time to just quit gaming completely. I only know that the current situation is bad and continuing on as if it isn't happening... is really not a sustainable attitude. Maybe this is just the new normal, the new price of entry, the true leveling of the playing field. I hate thinking about it like this, but the cheating is real and the developers and publishers can't do anything to stop it - at least not from what I'm seeing in-game or on YouTube.
On the other hand, just because you're the very last guy on the planet to start using cheats... doesn't really let you off the hook for being a cheater. I don't want to be a cheater. I really don't. And the real kicker is that none of these cheats were built by Respawn or sold by Respawn... but deep in my black little heart I still blame them (and pretty much all fps devs) for building their games with such high skill ceilings that it makes people feel like they need to do whatever it takes to be competitive. Including, obviously, cheating. High skill ceilings and bad skill-based matchmaking. The true drivers of all cheating. And the lack of a moral compass. And the anonymity of the internet. But also the devs.
**bleep** it. Now I'm really pissed.
Today, in 10 games of Wildcard, I didn't have a single game without cheaters. Congratulations EA/Respawn.
You have completely lost control of your game. This bot was killing everyone because he had a wallhack and an aimbot.
In the end, he had such terrible movement (he's some kind of bronze cheater) that he lost the match, but the number of such cheaters is absurdly high... What is this even supposed to mean? Is your game really only playable between 5 and 10 p.m., when the crowds are highest and the chances of encountering a cheater are slightly lower? Do you really want legitimate players to completely abandon the game outside of these hours, because otherwise it defeats the purpose?
Please start responding and taking action because I feel like I'm talking to a wall on this forum.
Please expand this stupid matchmaking in this mode. I'm constantly playing against the same people in 3-stacks. It's pathetic.
The same people in the lobby day after day.
Solo Q is so unplayable in this mode (for wins) that it's a tragedy.
Every game feels like everyone's fighting for their lives. I feel like the pred lobby is less sweaty than this mode because the matchmaking is simply broken.
Show me one screenshot of evidence you are going up against 3 stack preds. I'll wait.
Play the game a bit and you won't need to make such comments. Unless you're playing in a low-skill lobby or in a region other than EU. I've posted enough screenshots on this forum showing the state of play. I won't keep a journal or a diary because YOU want me to. Just install "Apex Legends Tracker" and you'll see for yourself what it looks like.
You're still doing nothing. This mode is swarming with cheaters. This one used an aimbot and still managed to level up to 14, and your anti-cheat is nonexistent. Congratulations, EA/Respawn. He'll probably still have time to reach level 20 and get master, because you're not interested in that.
and next:
God, this game is cooked XDDDD
Go mess with the Legends balance again, because that's all you've been doing for the past few seasons. You're incapable of addressing the REAL problems of this game.
Wildcard is the future of this game. It's super fun and I don't even play the other modes anymore. IDK the cheating doesn't seem all that bad to me. It's not ranked though so I care very little
IDK if that proves someone is cheating just because they got badges on a low level account. Apex/Respawn are dumb in that they don't limit people to 1 account or at least have some guardrails in place to limit the number of accounts and associate them back to a single person or household. Badges are way easier to get now that you get them for Wildcard.
