All of these skins should be $10, literally all of them. They would also sell 100x more...like the exotic shot and $40 for the reactive recolors is slightly overpriced $25 would be more adequate.
$40 bucks for a weapon skin is insane. At least improve the quality of the game and fix major issues like servers and matchmaking before you start expecting people to spend 40 bucks on a pixel.
If they made them less grindy, cause when people are grindy for specific stuff it makes you a horrible player to play with. But if they did something where people could choose to grind for them or pay for them I think that would be much better.
@@EndlessAbyss-x If they took a page out of Helldivers book, this would be one of the biggest games in the world. Everything is unlocksble by the player, you do not have to spend a time on that game outside of original purchase. Yes some items come and go and become rarities but 90% of the items you can unlock by playing, collecting super coins, completing missions and finding samples.
As a person who has been gaming for 30 years, this legitimately hurts my soul to see. It is insane to see how games and companies used to be and how they are now. It used to be about just pushing the limits and making a great game. Now it's "how much money can we gouge the player base out of?" I'd say vote with your wallet but that doesnt seem to be working because there is so many people falling for this kind of stuff and supporting it.
Idk. It's a free game. They make maps and content and have employees. They need to make money from the players to keep the game going. Since none of us bought the game, they have to sell items on the store. They're super over priced, so I won't buy them. But if other people want to, why would that ruin my gaming experience ?
@@jordanalexander1592 there is no reason to charge $50 for a recolor of skin people got for $10 originally. There's no sensible reason to charge $200+ on A COSMESTIC ITEM in a game or to charge those same people $160+ AGAIN if they want a recolor of that item There is absolutely no sane reason that it costs more than a PS5 ($700) to unlock all the attachments on a cosmetic item. It is bullshit and wrong. I get Respawn have to make money and Yada Yada but they hardly put the money back into the game. When the priority of making money comes before making sure Hackers, Cheaters, security breaches, broken updates and non working features are fixed, that's where I have a major issue. How do they expect us to keep paying for these skins when all this nonsense is going on? It's one thing to make money to keep a steady stream of revenue, it's another when they blatantly rip off their player base.
Umm it was in season 7 but isn’t anyone else annoyed that we got another reactive r99 last season ? It could have been the alternator or something we don’t have why did they repeat a weapon and give us a re color the next season ? I think they should have done what Overwatch did and don’t give a reactive skin instead give us 50 exotic coins at the end of the season pass and with that we can buy the current new reactive weapon (30-30) or spend it on a previous reactive weapon.
Me personally, although i like legend exclusive heirlooms more due to them feeling more special, i think universal heirlooms are just better over all, the fact that you can get a katar with just heirloom shards instead of paying like $400 on an event is super big because that means now you can get one for free and have an heirloom for every legend instad of one locked behind a legend.
They made a tiktok about Heirlooms in general and said that legend based heirlooms are not gone but their main focus rn is to quote "improve" the kobalt katar...This means we should see the legend based heirlooms comeback sometime in the near future
the katar is sick because you can pair them with any skin, especially considering I don't like my mains heirloom and you now have one for a character who doesn't even have one yet.
what you said at 3:15 is actually an amazing concept for EA. The f2p players are gonna abuse the feature to get coins and packs but this works for EA cause they werent gonna bring in money either way and for low spenders this will probably make the incentive to buy coins less appealing but its gonna make them feel more appreciated that there is a option where you maybe can get an extra 100 coins per week without spending and make them play for longer and therefor get more cash. For the big balling players that spend money on skins and collection events this will make them also feel appreciated and is gonna make them feel as tho the game is going in the right direction and therefor make their spendings more justifiable.
Is there any info about the people who couldn’t get the free reactive flatline skin bc I wasn’t able to get it, but I completed all the other challanges and I still haven’t gotten it
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the change to dailies where we are now forced to play 4 games with a legend you don't want to play. It has made my experience significantly worse as there's now no incentive to actually play a BR. It's just hot drop, die repeat 3 more times and turn off the game as my games sucked. I know I don't have to play those characters, but as a casual player, if I want to do the battle pass I need to try and do dailies.
@@phantasy4086 I've got 2 kids and play casually when I have time. I rarely play more than an hour. 4 games with a character I don't want to play is not fun. Especially since it now incentives me to die quickly to get through 4 games instead of trying to get to an end game.
The bp challenges are boring af, I even prefer grinding normal games. I wish the challenges were actual challenges and not 'get X kills with X legend/weapon'.
Ye it’s a shame bc back in the day when an event came out it was like, this is ur only opportunity to get these skins! Where as now it’s like, wait a couple weeks n u can get a better one like everyone else… idk miss those days of exclusivity
its actually just so mind blowing they keep bugs and exploits for entire seasons. but they always got some new bs for the kobalt kebab and some fruity bad skins. crazy the direction they took this.
i m still waiting for some news about the pathy prestige. they can make it out of potatoes and i ll still get it somehow. pathy main since s0 here 🙏 (i miss olympus already)
I think the only acceptable way to put ads in this game would be to put them on the banners and make them fit the map. That would make crypto an adblock tho
It makes sense why EA and Respawn are trying to profit off this game, it is their sole focus right now with it being one of their most popular games with the largest playbase across all platforms. Though i do agree the prices are ludicrous, this is the game we are gonna have to get used to...
I feel like 40 dollars for a reactive is completely reasonable, I mean regular legendary skins can run 20 dollars and prior to this the only way you could get a reactive skin is buying and grinding the battlepass. Also if the skins were only 10 bucks everyone would have them and they wouldn't be as cool.
Only reason i am good with the exotic shop, is that i didnt start apex til season 10,11 or idk. So all the cool reactives i missed out on coming back as recolors allows me to get that item. Prices are a bit much, but im ok with the shop idea. Just continue to keep the shop updated with new recolors to old reactives.
EA needs to stop hoarding exotic shards. If I buy 4 items from an event and have 4 shards I should be able to keep them. I generally get 1-3 skins/items and should have about 15-20 shards easily by now to choose an heirloom yet still have 0.
The fact I haven't gotten a second heirloom even after reaching level 1000 just goes to show its all about the money you spend. That first clip was suck a great example of this. But I feel like skins that cost $10 and a few hours of game time should not have a recolour that cost 4x as much. They could be done as a prestige thing. $10 for the skin and maybe deal 50,000 damage with that weapon to fully unlock it. Would've been a lot better experience in my opinion.
@@jordanalexander1592 With getting a pack every 10 levels, that still only 50 packs. But the 4 battle passes and rewards I've done sense then. Which is maybe 20 a season between both. That's barely 150 packs. 200 packs to be generous due to events. That's still about 300 packs away, which is another 3000 levels or $300
Hopefully i can end up getting some exotic shards, i wanted to buy the flatline skin but i ended up buying my mother a new tire on mothers day, a bit upsetting but she really needed it
I wish they would add skydive trails for the rest of the presige skins. I don't really care for the gun heirloom skins tho. Thank you for everything thordan.
I don’t these will be in the exotic shards. I think they should be reactive only in there like the reactive havoc. Also I love being able to buy reactive skins over challenges
Fr and they are hella overpriced like I’d love to get the reactive flatline skin but it’s honestly just way to costly I wasn’t able to get the quest one because of gifting problems
As crazy and kind of horrendous as a $40 weapon skin is, I've wanted the Revolutionary R-99 skin for so long and I know I can't get it so (Mystic Recoil?) is the next best thing and it looks amazing tbh
I do think that 40 is a bit overpriced, the same with most things. I honestly don't think 40 is that much of a stretch, as even though it's $10 for an entire battlepass, you have to play a while to unlock everything.

They physically can't do anything about the servers until next year at the 6th anniversary

Nah. I’m not doing those grindy missions

It’s a recolor but I also agree but sadly ea is super money hungry
Completely agree
If EA put as much effort into fixing bugs as making skins there wouldnt be any left
The Katar idea is great but locking the purple one behind ALL of the others is a low blow
There is no way there going to be bringing adds to the game. 💀💀💀 EA has to be stopped
At this point im not even surprised if they remove the free section of the battle pass

The whole point of heirlooms is that they are personal. EA is just trying to milk apex for every last dime until it is dead.
Simple solution: just don't buy the katars
as expensive as they will be, im saving my money for the wraith, havoc and r301 skin. they all look sick
Who cares? I just played five games and got wrecked by level thirteens and fifteens who fucking cares.
Liked, commented and subscribed.
Yes, I need that.

i can hear thordan just fed up in the last few seconds of the clip and ye i feel the same too...

Hey Thordan quick question what’s your cats name?
Will the r99 and flatline reactive skin still be there?

Do u need the first Katar for the other ones or not?
Is there any info about the people who couldn’t get the free reactive flatline skin bc I wasn’t able to get it, but I completed all the other challanges and I still haven’t gotten it
Ivan ooze is such a throwback but this is crazy
Why did they stop doing the season challenges for the reactive skins? Do they not like player retention?
Yea the lack of a challenge to earn something this season just made me and my friends just take a break from Apex this Season.
Is the flatline and r99 skin going to stay in the exotic store?
EA is becoming greedier

I have hope that because all katar skins were already released at the start of this season, maybe just maybe we can actually have an hierloom.
Imagine if they made it possible to let us use legend tokens to buy recolored reactives or heirloom. Or even trade legend tokens for exotic shards
i like the idea of a universal heirloom i just wish it waz more fleshed out, lore wise, and got properly introduced into Apex
Here in Canada it’s almost 70$ for 50 exotic shards
EA: I like money
I feel like they should reduce the chance you get for heirloom shards in pack to 250 instead of 500,there is so many heirlooms at this point
Ye it’s a shame bc back in the day when an event came out it was like, this is ur only opportunity to get these skins! Where as now it’s like, wait a couple weeks n u can get a better one like everyone else… idk miss those days of exclusivity
I literally can't see the katar on apex, didn't even realise it was out 😂
how long is it gonna take?
40$ and the final reward is a death box is crazy
The kobalt katar is like 210 dollars for one variant. Sadly its so ugly
Its insane how they think these katars are going to do good down the road
HisWattson already has all 5 Katar variants, you can see them in game on his daily streams
Is so dumb that on top of having to buy the exotic shards, you are forced to buy the customizations in order and not the once you like only
