SUGGESTIONS
Hello! I am writing to suggest possible changes to the cosmetics acquisition system. Considering that with the new update, there is the possibility of directly purchasing cosmetics from past events or battle passes, which I appreciate, I was wondering if it was possible to change some aspects such as: Price. relate it to the time passed since the release of the same and consequently lower the price. It makes no sense, in my opinion, to pay the same price for all cosmetics especially for some released recently at an increased price. Set a maximum, I assume a minimum of 1000 AC for a legendary up to a maximum of 1800 AC (and possibly modify it for the other rarity levels). Purchase currency. the ability to buy cosmetics with currencies like Crafting Metals or Legend Tokens (which currently don't have much use except for some recolors in the shop or unlocking new legends). For the points above, I think that Spotlight Passes would no longer make sense, which at the moment don't even include all the legends. Also for some, like Alter, the number of cosmetics like skins inside the locker are much less than the others: why not also add those released in past events? Another topic for which I had suggestions concerns Heirloom Shards. Taking inspiration from the considerations made before, I wondered if it was possible to improve and subsequently increase the possibility of acquiring them. Currently there is a large number of cosmetic items that can be purchased with HS, but at the same time the chances are almost zero. So below I list some points that could perhaps be improved: Increase the probability of obtaining them. climbing the account levels to possibly obtain them turns out to be too long as a period of time (even for those who play casually). According to rumors, you should obtain them thanks to one of the packs present in the 500 account levels. Purchase currency. the chance of purchasing cosmetics thanks to other currencies such as Crafting Metals or Legend Tokens. Connecting to this you could also evaluate purchasing the packs thanks to the aforementioned currencies. Limit item currency. this point could be contrasting with those above but could perhaps be another idea. Buy only Melee Weapons thanks to HS while Prestige Skins obtainable with another currency (CM or LT). Finally I would like to hypothesize improvements in the system of items obtainable through Apex Packs. Repeating a bit what I talked about above, there are a lot of objects in the game, so I was wondering if you would consider the idea of exponentially decreasing them or possibly eliminating them. I'm talking about objects like: Intro sentences or kill sentences. too many and I would dare to say useless. Stickers. too many and not very useful in customization, in addition to their possible application on weapons I would suggest applying them also on the legends' banners. Holosprays. I don't have much to say about these, for me they don't make any sense. The objects above are mainly those that saturate the process of obtaining the others. I fully understand the evaluations, even economic ones, made upstream using a system similar to that of scratch cards but I believe that with some changes, like those suggested to you, you could then increase the desire of players to buy more packs and I would also justify the continuous production of cosmetics, even the ones that are not very useful for me. Obviously mine are simple suggestions and take them as such but at the same time I ask you, kindly, to evaluate them seriously. Thank you and have a good day! :)I've already played over 2000 hours but I can't win at all.
I have been practicing for a few years now, looking up videos and practices, but my opponent is too strong and I can't win at all. The mouse is a normal mouse, but I went out of my way to buy a mechanical keyboard. I also prepared a monitor that can output 100hz , but my opponent is too strong and I can't win at all. Is this my fault? Are all beginners too kind in character and will they do thousands of hours even if they lose so much? This is beyond my understanding. Why do we have to endlessly face masters and seasoned diamonds? There is absolutely no way we can win! Let us play matches with Gold or Silver ranks, or at worst up to Platinum rank! I never want to play a match again with all these cheetah-like guys with little to no gun recoil. No matter how big you move your character or how much you move, those guys never miss the sights at all. It's not human skill. It's absurd that such an absurd match has to be abandoned and then penalized. How can you have fun being the target of an aimbot for dozens of minutes?
Please consider adding this mode
I really want a ball mode. it would be cool if the swords could be incorporated into it like the arenas mode?? maybe add owned heirlooms to be selectable aswell. I was thinking buster sword be the care pack one and U start with the newer one. maybe make the karambit duel wield/certain heirlooms dual wield? idk! Just would be cool if there was a melee only mode where you try to score a ball into one central point or 2 points on either side. could test adding the ash dash to every legend in this mode also. If this gets done though, PLEASE add punch boosting back. the guns feel better than ever so people are doing better. I think it can come back itd bring a lot of players to the game. just have to be transparent about it and maybe add it to the tutorial.
banned by mistake
I got banned by mistake last night . I already talked to TOS a few times,and created a few cases too. they checked my account and my Steam username,and they said there is no ban of my account, so they doesn't know why I can not login into my game. what should I do now. I never cheated or said anything bad in game text or voice chat, I don't have bad username either. I was just running toward enemies then I was kicked out of game. and now I can only login into game a few seconds then kick out again. TOS said I should contact Steam? btw , there’s no ban history on my account page, neither did I receive any email
Visual Alert for G-84 TGM, I’m Deaf
Hello EA and the Battlefield 2042 Development Team, I hope this message finds you well. I’d like to respectfully bring forward an accessibility concern related to Battlefield 2042. To provide some context, I’d like to briefly introduce myself. I’m completely deaf due to a condition called Genetic Progressive Sensorineural Hearing Loss, which led to total hearing loss when I was 12. I’m now 26 and live a full and active life. Being deaf doesn’t hold me back, but it does come with certain challenges, especially in communication, since most people don’t use sign language. Battlefield 2042 is my favorite game. I especially enjoy flying jets like the F-35 and piloting helicopters such as the Nightbird. However, there’s one specific gameplay mechanic that presents a serious issue for me as a deaf player. The Specialist Lis has a manually guided missile, the G-84 TGM, which can be fired repeatedly with a cooldown between shots. When I can see the missile coming, thanks to its glowing trail, I can often evade it. But when it’s outside my field of view, I get no warning at all. My hearing friends told me there’s a distinct sound cue that alerts players to an incoming TGM, but since I can’t hear it, I’m frequently taken out without any indication that I was being targeted. This is especially frustrating when the missile is coming from behind or when I’m focused on flying and engaging enemies. Unlike other threats, such as lock-on missiles like the Stinger, which trigger a visual warning on the HUD—the TGM doesn’t provide any visual alert. This means I have no opportunity to react, even though hearing players do. When multiple players use Lis to target me, I’m often left defenseless in the air. If I could hear, I’d at least have a fighting chance. As it stands, the TGM gives hearing players a significant advantage over deaf players, simply because of the lack of visual cues. So I kindly ask: would it be possible to add a visual HUD indicator when a G-84 TGM is approaching, or when it’s been fired in your direction? Even a small visual cue, similar to what’s already used for lock-on weapons—would make a huge difference. Alternatively, adjusting the damage to require two hits to down aircraft could be another option worth considering. I’m part of a small Discord group of deaf Battlefield players, and we’ve all faced this same issue. While we may be a minority, I believe many players with hearing loss would benefit from improvements like this—both in Battlefield 2042 and in future titles. To be clear, this isn’t a complaint. I love Battlefield and truly appreciate the incredible work your team puts into the game. I’m simply hoping it can become even more inclusive for all players. Thank you very much for your time and for considering this request,Apex Legends Community Concept – 11 Detailed Improvement Ideas (2025)
