Its really sad seeing this game die man.. I've played apex since s1 and its such an amazing game that fills a niche in terms of movement, abilities and gunplay I can't find anywhere else.. I just log in once per new season now to check it out and see if it changed at all but It hasnt for the past like 10 seasons, and your point on content drought really reflects that.. Great video though, got me hooked despite never playing apex in recent years !
I'll put it simply like this ppl that can manifest things with a thought all wanted this to happen and there's nothing anyone can do about it except watch the game slowly fade..
12000 to unlock 1 character which is 20 levels is really a lot I don’t have that problem anymore because I’ve been playing since day one but for new players that just seems like a lot of grinding
Relatively new player here (I have 68 hours in Apex) aside from characters I was able to unlock through challenges when I started playing I have only been able to unlock 2 with legend tokens, I honestly think they need to lower the amount of tokens required to unlock a legend or increase the amount you get from leveling up or not have the xp needed to level up get bigger every time and have it be the same all the time (5000 for example), any of these proposed ideas would help me unlock legends faster.
@blecis74 that would defeat a purpose of buying the battlepass. With the battlepass you get xp boosts, and with the ultimate pass you even get all legends unlocked for that period of time. At the end of the day they wanna make money and if you don't pay then you grind.
@blecis74 it'll fly by if you're enjoying the game. Also idk if you know this but all legends are playable in the firing range. You can test them all out and make an informed decision on who you want to unlock.
Apex in general is a tragic story of corporate america because of ea its litterally a perfect example of how a studio can be held back just by theyre investors
Played a ton since day 1 until the season that whatever the third map is came out. Haven’t touched the game in a year or two despite how much I used to love it and how often I used to play it. In my opinion the SBMM is horrific and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. The RNG is ridiculous and needs to be more balanced to either be more rewarding or more harsh. Several characters needed reworks at the time that I stepped away. And most of all (though this will never happen), EA needs to gtfo and just hand the game over to respawn completely. Apex isn’t dead but it is on a decline, and it sucks to see a game that emotionally carried me through covid to do that. At this point, EA should either leave and let respawn fix the game or respawn should begin work on titanfall 3 IMO.
Respawn can't unlock all the legends at once for free because they paywalled that in the new premium plus battlepass. They shot themselves in the food with that one, It would devalue the plus offering.
Matchmaking- please fix the sbbm/eomm system or just take it out of pubs all together. Everyone complains about bc it does not work and never does in any game it is implanted in. Cheaters- come on apex there are several other anti cheats that are more effective get one. Make a system that flags them better. ♥♥♥♥ it shadow banning is terrible but it's better then we have at thus point. Remove healthbars- they are giving to much information mechanical and visual. Giving people walls and causing more aggressive pushes messing with the balance and outcomes of fights. It can still exist but should shields then health but not both at the same time. Update tick rate on the server Add solos, duos, and trios Have solos and quads rotate every couple of hours Add more modes to mixtape like capture the flag, payload, 30 v 30 battlefield could even add titans. Add another mode slot for arena modes Regular arena 3v3. Would love to see them add a search and destroy 6v6 where you have to pick one legends of each class. No duplicate of controllers though... New ltm every season, not recycled or reworked. Then every other event bring back a old one like gold rush or third person. Bring back town takeovers every other season to add personality of the legends back into the game. Then have that ltm replace mixtape or one of modes for 2 weeks only bring back personality to the guns and characters instead streamlining them for balance. Balance and fun are not always equal. They should go back to dropping characters and guns in and out of the meta every season. Like they did s1 -10 That also means fix back the reticles for the lmgs they shouldn't be all the same if they aren't the same gun. The reticles gave the guns their own personality and feel why take them away instead of adding on top of them Add actual rewards to rank!!!! Please for the love of God. It doesn't even need to be rank specific if they don't want to isolate ppl. Make it participation based like in the weird trials rank they have going on. Make rank feel like something to do rather then playing for the same thing for 5 years. Bring back the lore properly. They pretty much stopped trying to tell a cohesive story at this point. Nothing is really connected anymore that has proper consequences except one or two. They have multiple characters that introduced with interesting stories then never address them again. Vantage, catalyst, seer, ballistic, and the list goes on. What happened to blisk? What happened to crypto hacking into the games. what going on with mirages mom and brothers? What happened to the comicbooks we got every season for awhile they were fun and interesting. Why do the games exist. Why do they let criminals in? Are they in a simulation etc... these were all questions posed at the beginning of the games life, but has been forgotten or left behind and for what Heirlooms need to go back to character specific and stop with the recoloring literally just make a prestige skin that is tied to the character or make a new on for the same character why cant they have more then one sacred item. Add more interesting characters we need at least 2 legends a year that are interesting. Id love to see a beast master character or a pilot something.... Lastly, the battle pass. They need to revert it back to how it use to work. Then add the value back with more of the skins so it's more sought after instead of trying to copy the black market scheme they do on call of duty. Not everyone can play consistently for 6 weeks and then pay again if they cant finish that is literally a month and half for a refresh of a battlepass it is bad design for the game. Instead of doing that they could have copied fortnites subscription for like 10 dollars for extra extra content so it's at least you get what you pay for and since it's not a BP it's just as effective. Win win That's my Ted talk
A lot of these suggestions are not sustainable, new items every season makes it so the loot pool becomes cluttered, and the game can’t remove any because they sell skins for them
Ehhhhh I wouldn’t say making every character free is a good idea. I would let new players unlock a new character every 5 levels, give the first 100 or so levels feel good for new characters. They get to try new characters and jsut before a couple hours they will have a new characters. This would like the what twenty new characters or smth, the problem for progression is more of a late game player…
Everyone says "Apex die."every season. Apex will not die. Not even close. Yes, the game is in bad shape right now, but that doesn't mean it's going to die.
I just got back to it and the game itself is very fun, i hate the fact that it uses engagement optimized matchmaking, which just dictates when you’ll win and when you lose

@ yeah I know, it was just wishful thinking. I just wish it wouldn’t take 20 levels to get 12000 tokens
@blecis74 it'll fly by if you're enjoying the game. Also idk if you know this but all legends are playable in the firing range. You can test them all out and make an informed decision on who you want to unlock.
@ I didn’t know that, thanks I’ll give them a try to see who I’ll unlock next

Having all legends unlocked at the beginning is not a good thing. It kills the excitement of progression. It's also simply overwhelming.
