Am a dad and a casual gamer , more specific an Apex legend casual player , its the only game i luv , and thats the game i wanna play after a long day at work , so i ask for is better servers and a better sbmm , other than that am playing til either i drop dead or apex drops dead
I'm a dad of 4 nearly 50yrs old my oldest is 19yrs old youngest nearly 2 and I absolutely love this game, believe this or not this is my first ever fps live game I've ever played but better servers and a better sbmm is defiantly needed but should have more things to grind for, cod has nailed this I've been playing BO6 since release and the amount of free things to grind for free is unreal if only EA could do this.
I admire your optimism Raynday but here's the thing, I've invested a fair amount of time in this game and as a mainly Solo player, it never was fair. It is a team-based game after all. Three-man stacks will dominate the leaderboards. However, if there isn't any incentive for us to keep playing the game, why should we keep playing? After all this time, plagued by cheats, pro players complaining that it isn't fair for them, what about the other side then? Casuals who just play the game for fun, being seal-clubbed by tryhards in a non-ranked match mind you. Yes, Apex is a competitive video-game then let those tryhards and pros play in a ranked ladder match. Every game in Apex feels like an ALGS qualifier match and it is hella draining. Not to mention, the game-state is not good either. And frankly even, the BR gameplay loop is getting old. If Apex wants to keep going, this is gonna take more than just a "a big systematic change".
Play everyday get in games in 15 seconds. I struggled against good players for a while. As you get better it puts you with better players on average. But once you keep practicing and start getting 5 and 7 kill games. In matches with players with 4k to 20k kills. Then you will have lots of fun 😊
Huh? Let’s be clear… EA & Respawn have ignored gamers on core issues for *TOO* long in two key issues… (1) addressing cheaters - now they are removing Linux and adding more anti cheat, why so long? (2) Skill Based Match Making - you lose new players when they get wrecked by Pred squads. At the same time, I can’t stand being constantly teamed with noobs in Pubs! I’ve been playing since launch and how has SBMM consistently gotten worse? How after one patch does my K/D go in the tank? Because the match making is pure buII$h!t… EA/Respawn has managed to pi$$ off everyone!
As much as I loved Apex Legends and spent a lot of time and money on the game. I have reached my limit and are no longer playing Apex and I have been playing since day one, season zero. I have not played Apex since the beginning of Season 22 and that was only one game; this is the first battle pass in 21 seasons I did not buy ( I did not buy the Season 1 pass). The game is no longer fun. For years I have been saying that there needs to be a different build for professional/ranked play separate from public matches or gentlemen agreements to not use things like in COD, so the things that make the game fun for casual players (90% of the player base) are not removed from the game. Apex is not fun anymore. Professional players do not seem to understand the we as casual players do not play the same game they do, so things like Wraith's void ability, Lifeline's DOC revive shield, or the Gold Self-Revive Shield do not effect casual matches the same way they effect professional ones. I am back to Call of Duty multiplayer (not that I ever left but I split my time between the two games because I loved them both) and I do not see myself coming back to Apex unless they make some major changes.
They've never been this quiet since the game launched. I feel this gives really high expectations that they've got something big, and if they don't, it might honestly be more disappointing for many. For some it may make them happier with what they get, but im expecting something big with this unusual launch.
I see people saying the voice actor strike is the reason behind the silence. Although that seems to be no more than speculation. If Respawn really has nothing up their sleeves then I guess it's GGs.
So you're saying, settle for less and we don't really know what's good for us. 😅 The numbers show that people are leaving. I still support few streamers and watch their content, but I stopped playing after they wanted more monetization of the battle pass. Being a day one player, this was a real turn off. It's time they update the game engine and refresh everything.
Frankly yes, players dont really know what's good for them. They put up a lot of opinions that are not really helpful for devs themselves. It's not just Apex, its just players in general. Not to mention, a good majority of players also don't do a good job of analyzing the game, what is wrong about it and just go about it from "FEELS". It is one way but its not the only way to judge what is and what they want for the game.
@@rinz5027 Agreed to a point. Though, not all players are 12 years old either. So I guess the devs get wide range of input, for their wide range of motives.
to be honest, this game its being so mentally draining, not even close to be fun as used to be. I dont play much as I used to , didnt played for a while now but i hope the new season to bring back the fun to the game.
Great video man. Like the different perspective and it has definitely given me a new way to see this game and other games and I thank you for that. One point I will add is that people like these type of positive videos, it shows we want this game to be viewed in a more positive light and as you said, it’s important we do our best to keep it like that and have more constructive conversations that yield more positive results rather then mindlessly hating the game.
Original sin. All this should be told to us by people from the Respown, developers. This is a part of communication that does not exist. Maybe then there would be more first dates. BTW great analysis👍
Sbmm needs fix and chanhed for fun. Not sweat sweat sweat. Make people wait in que. Also we need stat trackers for kills for MIXTAPE, just wanna kill grind but dont want to play lame BR its stale anymore
The fact is this, every season doesn't need to be a masterpiece. On the same note, if they want to continue collecting vast amounts of money from the players it all comes down to 3 big issues that need to be addressed, the ancient servers where 1/4 of your mag doesn't register, the brutal matchmaking which makes the game literally unbearable to play, and atleast showing SOME progress on the cheating situation. There's no if ands or buts about it, respawn will get zero sympathy and no player retention until these issues are taken care of and I believe that's beyond fair to ask
I don't care about a new map, a new weapon or a new legend. First and foremost they have to do better with the cheater epidemic (that includes perma banning every last macro octane. Marcos are cheating). Next they have to fix the audio. If the engine can't play every individual track because it can't handle it, then it needs to prioritize footsteps above all else. Also, the audio on horizons Q needs fixed. It's already one of, if not the best Q in the game and 90% of the time no one can hear it even if it's right beside them. Horizons footsteps also need to be brought in line with the rest of the cast. She currently steps about 1 step for every 2 steps of everyone else in the game. The audio on pathfinders grapple is also bugged too and half the time you can't even hear him flying at you at a hundred miles per hour. Like why can I hear rev, octane, and vantage flying at me, but I can't hear path or horizon at all? Rev climbing though is basically inaudible.Also, abilities are just overall too strong now and some characters are just not fun to play against. The worst offenders are abilities where if you get hit by them, it's literally a free kill for the other team with almost zero effort. Ash and Maggie with the double q needs to go away. Maggie ball is just stupid and the hitbox of it is significantly larger than the actual ball. If you get hit with a Maggie ball, you're just dead. Crypto going full invis is laughable. Enemy caustic gas needs to be a different color than friendly caustic gas. Conduit ult and catalyst q both have way too much hp. Why do I have to kill horizon twice to kill horizon once and why is she so skinny that she basically has a 2d hitbox? Basically, fix cheaters and audio. And abilities that get free kills with zero effort other than the player deciding they want the advantage are lame. I'd much rather have valk and pathfinder flying around or gibby throwing domes or Newcastle putting shields down than an ash getting hitting me with her 50m wide q or Maggie being able to kill me absolutely for free because I dodged her ball by a whole 10m but the game still says it hit me. Free kill abilities are dumb, lower the skill ceiling, and are bad for the game. Lastly, Olympus is just trash. It's so bad. It is unbearable. It needs to be like 20% bigger. I don't have a problem with any of the other maps. Olympus just sucks something awful. Please don't make me play it next season.
IMO, I feel that Apex Legends caters more to content creators and pros and no longer for the average player that works full time all week and might only have 2-4 hours a week to destress and play a game like Apex Legends. Instead, we might get placed in the same server as a “faide” or a Plat/Pred and just get completely sh** on. That’s no longer fun. And because of that, I just stopped playing completely. This used to be a very fun game a few years ago but to me, it’s lost that sense of amusement. But that’s just my opinion. EA can care less. It’s all about greed and their profits, I guess 🤷🏽♂️
I’ll play this game to the end but this makes the launch extremely underwhelming. The SFTO drew me to this game and the quality has dropped over the years. I can see this tactic hurting more than it helps.
There are only 2 options: 1- Apex go down real hard 2- Apex go up real hard Let's hope EA is cooking something decent this time XD cause last seasons were horrible fr
Talking to say nothing, the game is dead and there is no way to sugar coat it, the pro scene killed it with what they think its best for it while killing the fun for the casual player, oh remove bunny hop remove zipline hops remove tap strafe, why not remove cheaters and server lags and sound problems, when you only have deaf ears to listen to you there will always be one outcome, we are just waiting for the next game calling our names, many found what to replace apex with and the rest of us are still waiting and its just a matter of time before we all move forward and if we miss the game there will always be r5 😊
Games dead? Yet this guy, he’s here 2 hours after this video drops. Souf_ryu you must be lost buddy, probably in the void. The pro scene killed the game? Do other games even have a pro scene? Sounds dead. The casual player? Wtf does that even mean? Bums?
"Talking to say nothing", dude is making a living off of this. People complaining too irrationally are the ones saying nothing. Or rather DOING nothing, all the "dead game dead game" people are more annoying than effective. Quitting the game (actually quitting, not saying that you did, to seem cool) has an actual effect. Unconstructive criticism just gets the fan base ignored.
I play the game everyday never takes more then 15 seconds to find a match?? It's not dead maybe you moved on and don't think about it or RUclips doesn't cover it as much
Them playing favorites with the characters based on how much money the community spends on that ONE player was always set up for failure. I was a Mirage main and quit MANY seasons ago do them pretty much abandoning many aspects of the character. I’m not a crypto main but how do you put a character like this in the game and not bring him into the meta somehow. They lost so much of there casual players but simply giving Wraith 3x more attention which is why she has the most skins out of any character. They played favorites and ended up losing in the end.
Naa ...Bro stop doing fake promotion for a game which is taking in its last breath.... I can bet Apex will degrade even more... when the CEO of game doesnt even know whats wrong with the game....
I have played this game from day one, and no matter what happens, I will continue to play for years to come. Love this game, screw all the new content and attention-grabbing stuff. Real fans stick around.
I've played from release also and i've played every single season/done every event. I stay out of cosmetic drama since skins don't matter to me and they have no impact towards my game. I love apex and i will play until i can't no more:P
You cry about no trailer. Wow!!! Apex wants there money. Streamers aren't spending there donations like before. Games not dieing. Console has a solid million players. PC is trash cheaters anyway
I don't play as often as I used to, but I will continue to ride until the wheels fall off.
Trailer was a week late….
