[2021] Apex Legends "Escape" Season 11 Update - Discussion & Support Megathread

Storm Point is really fun, there’s a lot of verticality which made for awesome plays

From my July 30th internal playtest notes:

Vertical movement.This map seems like the "tallest" of any map. Characters with a lot of vertical mobility - horizon, valk, revenant - all seem like they are super well suited to this map. I played Valk mostly, but also horizon one game, and appreciated the mobility even more than on other maps.

I love Ash, but as with Revenant, I am somewhat intimidated to play her. I am not very good so I always feel like I'm letting her down. Like, who is this pitiful human attempting to play as me... The anxiety is real.

Fixed.

Was a bug. Fixed.

when you give a mouse a kill leader

this is gold. take my nessie (snek) award in honor of this brilliance.

Should self-correct next time you hit the lobby. If your client is having connectivity issues with Marketplace, it may take a bit of time as it needs to connect to a separate service (unrelated to gameplay). But as soon as that happens, it should self correct. No one was getting rewards, and everyone I've spoken to since has gotten them (and the root cause was clear). Marketplace sees a big spike in traffic on patch days, which might be why it's delayed. Message me directly if it doesn't correct within the next day or so.

Not sure. Asking.

Sent to level team to ask.

Yup. It's a bug. They are looking into it. Thank you.

Arena predator badge SHOULD animate if you held rank both splits, same as BR.

Yeah, I remembered that as I wrote that. We're looking now to see if we set the badges up to be looking for a split which, as you rightly reminded me, doesn't exist.

Speaking entirely theoretically as I have no knowledge of non-official things like this, someone who was absolutely and definitely not me might have possibly addressed this issue. Not that I'd know because it definitely wasn't me who worked on fixing this very non-official non-feature.

Seriously, though, thanks. We turned this off because of the issues in 10.1 after we had to move to despawning players (because of other bugs) and forgot to turn it back on. We'll get it re-enabled. Hypothetically or something...

Yup. Confirmed that's the bug. It was looking for a split where none existed. We're fixing, but it will need to be a proper patch before we can fix it. Thanks for raising the issue. We'll get this sorted! u/luclky

Nothing I'm aware of, but I can field it with the gameplay team.

Yes. Bugged currently, which we realized thanks to another poster here. Broken currently because they are looking for a split, but S10 didn't have one. We'll get it fixed, but needs a full update so not for a bit. But we WILL fix.

Have raised the issue with people who can actually tell if anything has changed. Me, I'd be like, "well, I'm missing targets... but then again, I always miss targets..."

I just got my first kill this season with a peacekeeper and it somehow still counted as care package weapon kill. No other bugs to report, thank you and the team for this smooth season!

Will address with Weapons team. Thx.

So this is the "bug" we were trying to fix. They are meant to only be for one season. So to fix the bug of not getting grants - a more major bug - we turned them back on for previous seasons. But we will be disabling them in a future update as the patch notes stated. This is except for folks who have the grandfathered ones. The designer who handles ranked can chime in with more details. Let me ping him.

Yup. We already have this fixed locally. Will take some time to get it out though.

^ is correct

I will pass along both to the Legends team. I am impressed with the calculation of run speed units!

I know there have been questions about this. I think one thing that's a possible source of confusion is that you redeem the code on the monster site for different code that you then redeem in game. But I've seen a bunch of questions flying around on this (but couldn't get a clear sense if there's an actual issue here or just a misunderstanding about the two-step code code flow). If you're doing the double code flow (getting the code from monster and redeeming THAT in game) and still having issues, lemme know so I can follow up with the folks who work with the Monster team.

Scroll UP. the S10 charms are in the "wrong" spot. Above the others.

Bug. Already fixed internally.

Not at all. Though this made my day. I'm a technical designer who works mostly in non-gameplay systems design. Lots of UIUX and other meta-game systems (stats is my favorite area). I actually only came on because I fixed the ranked rewards bug and wanted to let people know. I'm a sporadic communicator, but yesterday's launch was smooth enough that I spent most of the day "celebrating" by answering questions here, which I very much enjoy when I have the chance. Ryan cannot be replaced, but we have an awesome comms team.

As a general rule, Reddit has always been super kind to me so I try to return the favor. Especially around launches when y'all often find bugs we missed. So it's the best time to get these things tracked. Always feels a bit like drinking from a firehose in here, so I apologize to the people I missed or the questions I could not answer.

1. Yes you can complain to me about UI. But I'd bet most of what you will say is probably on the list. UI reworks are huge projects, because you often can't do just part of it because the whole system has to fit together. But when we can, we are looking at small changes. The badge reorganization into categories was my first "big" shipped feature.
2. We don't track stats per map currently, so I couldn't tell you. That one is tough, because while I agree it might be cool, it can also be self-reinforcing, where you decide you don't like a certain map because you win less there so you play worse and win less. But overall, more "stuff" with stats is definitely on the list. Hopefully you've enjoyed some of the newer challenges the past few seasons (like # of ring closings survived or red weapon kills. Or the S11 daily weapon damage challenges being cross-mode); that's all powered by stats

You diamond?

Yeah... that video is wrong. The in game trail is correct.

The fix will apply to all levels.

1. Confirmed it was indeed an accidental change and that Console AA was updated to match PC AA. Many thanks to everyone on this sub who raised the flag here. We absolutely would not have caught this so quickly without your help.
2. IT IS ALSO NOW FIXED.

There's quite a few disparate threads on this, so we'd super appreciate help spreading the word that it's fixed. And thanks again for vocalizing this issue.

Thanks for collating those. We'll dig in here.

So read through the Monster FAQs:

Did you get NEW codes for S11? https://apexlegends.monsterenergy.com/en-us/faqs/

1. WHY ARE THE IN-GAME ITEMS AND BATTLE PASS LEVEL UPS SEPARATED IN MY MONSTER ENERGY ACCOUNT?

When you enter your in-game Battle Pass code to Apex Legends, your Battle Pass level up will be applied to your level progression in the current Apex legends season. However, you can choose not to enter those codes for the current season and carry them over to the next one. If that’s the case, when the new season starts, we’ll generate a new Battle Pass level up in-game code for you which you can track under “My Codes.” Remember you can use your Battle Pass code only for 1 season, so consider your Battle Pass level before entering your in-game code.

I read this and thought they regenerated the codes automatically, but when i asked, our partnerships team said they think you need to contact Monster to get new codes, because your saved codes are for S10. Unfortunately, "we" (meaning both EA and Respawn) can't do anything here. Definitely don't reinstall. But Monster should be able to give you new codes. Sorry I don't have a better answer but hopefully that helps at least a bit.

Yup. Found and fixed internally. Not sure when we will get this fix out but hopefully quite soon. But I can confirm is is only cosmetic and will correct. Your displayed BP is the correct one. And the badge will automatically update to match it.
