A Few Suggestions and Potential Fixes
LORE Please consider bringing back lore and interactive story elements. The game is seriously lacking in character stories/development as of late. I’m sure this is an intentional decision based on metrics surveys and player retention data as I have seen this topic skirted around by many devs in AMA’s and such. Even I reported in a survey that I do not care about in game lore, but after some time of a lot of nothing I I have come to change my opinion on the matter and now believe it’s an important component to the game. I would also like to include a personal anecdote from when the bloodhound lore mini game was added to World’s Edge. I remember running into solo bloodhounds who were just there to complete the quest having a good time agreeing not to shoot each other, having fun a way secondary to the games main objective. Options like this increase player agency in how they express themselves and have “fun” in the game. This seems like something that would attract newer players and get them invested in the game and the story. Anyways I think that Catalyst had a weak story, Alter lacks any story and Seer was the last really fleshed out story. Actually vantage had a pretty decent one but you guys should continue the lifeline octane, Maggie fuse, loba revenant, and bang Newcastle stories or come up with new ones. Also please stop with bloodhound romances no one wants that. DEATH SCREEN MENU Could you resimplify the death screen menu when spectating teammates or another team it used to be so easy now it’s really trash and confusing. I know I’m not providing explicit details on why but I don’t care too it’s honestly really boring it’s a menu. It’s ok on mouse and keyboard because you can just click submenus but on controller it’s actually a nightmare. PUNCHING Please take another look at punching I know it was broken a long time ago but it’s broken in its own weird way now. You HAVE to hit the lock-on on the initial punch otherwise you cannot rotate your camera towards the enemy to make the punch accurate at all. It works like this: you have to both be looking exactly at the enemy and be within melee range and it’s a guaranteed hit. If those two conditions are not met there is a 90% chance you will miss the punch. Please take notes from games like overwatch where punching is much easier to land consistently at close range and doesn’t even have a lock on mechanic. DIVE EMOTES Please add more dive emotes to the game. I promise people will pay good money for dive emotes. I personally have been playing the game consistently since season 9 and have ONE dive emote on my main pathfinder. That’s ridiculous and I would seriously pay money for fun dive emotes on characters I play. I see no reason why those can’t be in the store. I promise this will be a bigger hit than stickers and I think you could make previous dive trails that were battle pass exclusive now available in the shop like you do with old battlepass skin rotations. KNOCKDOWN SHIELD GLITCH I know for a fact you guys are aware of the knockdown shield glitch where the knocked players head pops out in front of the shield. This exclusively happens when a player is knocked and backing up into some type of wall or obstacle the game does something like move the knockdown shield backwards without moving the player backwards allowing enemies to effectively shoot someone through their knockdown shield while they have it up. I’m sure everyone has seen this happen if they’ve played the game long enough and I’m hoping you have the resources to fix it as it has been a glitch in the game for quite some time now. DEATHBOX GLITCH On the topic of glitches please fix deathboxes not showing the appropriate color corresponding with the loot tier until a player gets close enough/interacts with that death box. It’s frustrating and hopefully a simple fix. It’s obviously annoying because you use that information to know if 1) a deathbox has been looted already and 2) what order to loot deathboxes on a team wipe. Thank you for taking the time to read my post I hope some of these changes can be considered/implemented in the future. This is my favorite game and I want to see it thrive.Random Favorite Heirloom
I recently got my guaranteed 500 pack heirloom, and got a universal Melee option. A few packs later, completely randomly, I got the new Sky Piercer out of one of the first packs, and realized unlike weapons and skins, I can't do 'Random Favorite'. I really wanna use one or the other every match at random so I can look at them both, please let this be an option!Missing exotic shards
Hello I just purchased the milestone event. I believe there are 36 apex packs required to get the new heirloom. After spending all of my crafting metals and actually money I have 1 heirloom and 10 exotic shards to show for it. According to your event tracker there should have been 10 shards rewarded at 20 packs and another 10 shards at 36 packs. I should have a balance of 20 exotic shards, however I only have 10. EA you owe me 10 exotic shards per your event tracker. Please get these to me as soon as possible. Here are two photos for reference. (And no I have not purchased anything worth 10 exotic shards after completing the event)Can't ask or ping for weapons attachment or ammo
For the last couple of weeks when I am in game and I ping that I am looking for a stock or sight or a barrel stabilizer the game always pings a weapon station whether it is close or halfway across the map, so my teammates don't know what I'm looking for, this only started a couple of weeks ago for me and it happens every time,if I need a light mag and I ping it the game says light gun arsenal and pings it so all my teammates are hearing is light gun arsenal and not I'm looking for a light mag. Never been a problem until the last few weeks, any suggestions or ideasSuggestion to improve Apex Game completly
Hello Apex fellows, I am a veteran since season 1 and I want to address some changes that can make the game 100% better. I won't write paragraphs so here is everything that will make the game more fun. 1. Quality of life improvements; ( Refers to how the game feels to experience and these things ruin it ) 1.1 Legends displaying the heirloom at all times. Examples: Pathfinder gloves during hook, Wraith ability to throw Kunai and recover it like Bocek arrows and so many more. Nothing too crazy, but a lot of players really waited for those a lot of time. 1.2 In arena charging your Bocek, Rampage, and the gates open, automatically closes your charge window. Making those more suitable should improve quality of life a lot. 1.3 Remove screen view blocking hud notification from players knocked, items in the way of your aim, mirage bambozzels and so many more hud things that obfuscate your viewing of the enemy at narrow points where many pop ups appear. The compact setting is just not enough. 1.4 Alternative health bar display in your hud. Instead of having it in the far left, you would see more your health while in combat if it's right bellow center of your aim, thus helping you see how much damage you've taken a lot easier. 2. Ranked skill expression; Ranked is completely out of touch with how good you are at the game in the current 3v3. Making Solo ranked could completely make up for that, improve the player experience though some legends won't see play, that won't it not considerable. Arena Ranked can also drastically improve this aspect and should be essential since it's a far superior competitive mode than Battle Royale which is mostly fun and should be kept that way not allowing others action to affect your ranking alone. Skill expression is very crucial to competitive games and BR just isn't fit in current 3v3. Also adding Ranked Arenas could make up for the fact that winning feels like nothing achieved. Ranked should be a complex system between all of them not separated. 3. Legends meta I can assure you that everyone who loves apex knows that characters abilities should not be op. I'm talking solely about the tactical and ultimate. Apex is a movement + aim game, nothing else. Pushing this agenda where abilities completely take over situations should not be a thing. It's so frustrating the get Fuse ult, Valkyrie Rocket, Sparrow Ult and Ash bind that those things should just be reworked. As for the new class changes they are really good and should define what the limits to a legends should be like. Not gonna talk how some legends are completly outclass by others. Legends I personally like and feel like they are very well done are. Wraith, Pathfinder, Octane, Wattson, Catalyst, Lifeline, Mirage, Newcastle, Bloodhound, Bengalore and Caustic because he is balanced even tho' toxic. The rest either have 1 thing that makes them either too ineffective by 1 ability or too much by other. The idea is the game should not be decided by the abilities but only help with certain playstyle. Fixing some abilities is crucial here.
Apex packs calculation
My account is 1200 hours played (steam include) Completed many events to get packs I forgot how many event I did, i played the game since season 2 Bought and finish some battlepasses Bought 100packs more or less Level 600+ Still haven't got any heirloom Can the devs check my account total packs?The full Dull aspect of apex
Well most of us probably have many opinions of apex in negative ways but let’s talk about how in general everything has been done lazy, and there are multiple ways for me to explain it , but one in particular is the game modes , boy there ain’t allot to talk about here because it’s full, of the same stuff same genre and or style of gameplay but just typically changing the goal nothing else, and to the banning system, so for this you shouldn’t get banned for leaving a limited time mode, and if you are then just ban that mode from being played on for a certain amount of time for the specific individual, yall devs are hard focused on what right now I can’t tell because most people will say it’s the characters who or the nerfs and that’s not, no I think it has to do with an opinionated bias that I’m sure is probably happening at there studios, what I mean is conflict, just wondering what are yall doing like actually , that will forsure bring yall more consistent players and maybe even a bigger social media ,Solo Q
EA must improve solo Q experience, it reached a point where the game is pointless, I get consistently insulted at, as soon as I don’t do as they tell me to, despite being the sole guy alive and that actually is doing something, plus on top of that the matchmaking is just stupid, how is it fair to you for me to fight with lvl 80 or people who can’t hit a 3k damage badge against masters, apex predators, full squads or tryharders ? I am consistently alone against every single guy in the lobby, and that’s just makes it impossible to play, not to mention that the meta is so insane ShivFPS himself doesn’t play Bangalore, and controller legends are so weak mid and endgame if the rotation is anything in the open which happens A LOT in the current maps rotation, plus to further explain the meta it makes most class and legends useless as ballistic has a free 15dmg with aimbot plus 15 if you shoot… you get punished for shooting… ash free 20dmg plus blocks you in place and has 2 jets under her to make her impossible to shoot at in close range situations, then alter basically makes the whole team disappear as soon as they need to heal or res, not to mention her ability makes any of the controller abilities useless, since she can literally bypass a building avoiding fences put to wall as well, traps or rampart walls… also loot, it feels like the game purposely decides who’ll win, as I literally can’t find my favourite gun, or combo, which is a r99 + Spitfire, G7, R301, Flatline, I only finds snipers, p2020, r45 and shotguns…
