It certainly feels like you’re tryna squeeze every last dime out of us...
We'll leave that to other games that do things like provide methods to pay for power. We are not a hugely monetizing game - we just need to make enough money to keep the game going and make more stuff for everyone. When we decided to make Apex Legends a free-to-play game it was imperative that free-only players still can get access to all gameplay while also having the chance at earning the coolest looking cosmetics.
why didnt you do this right from the start like with the beast from the hunt event? you could prevent so much backlash 🤷♂️
There's a whole host of decisions that get made for any event - and this event was designed differently. We screwed up by not providing agency to you guys in how you obtain cool stuff. We didn't uphold our end of the deal that we set out with at launch, so changes are coming.
Remember to not start sucking their dicks, they probably planned this.
Edit: what happened to all those posts talking about exactly this?
Hell no. We're humans, you know, and we will make mistakes.
Hey everyone,
At launch we made a promise to players that we intend to do monetization in a way that felt fair and provided choice to players on how they spent their money and time. A core decision during development of Apex Legends was that we wanted to make a world class battle royale game - in quality, depth, progression, and important for today’s conversation - how we sell stuff. With the Iron Crown event we missed the mark when we broke our promise by making Apex Packs the only way to get what many consider to be the coolest skins we’ve released*.*
We’ve heard you and have spent a lot of time this week discussing the feedback and how we structure events in the future, as well as changes that we will make to Iron Crown. To get right into it, here are the changes we are making:
So Logan and Josh are marking there streak, are you team Logan or Josh?
Obviously Team Josh (right?)
You know what most of your player base wanted ..
For yall to fix the footstep audio.
Instead you gave us a death recap.
Booooooooooooooo
I get what you're saying, but those aren't mutually exclusive. The UX and Design people who built death recap took nothing away from anyone working on footstep audio issues.
If we weren't careful, features could steal (say) QA time that's needed elsewhere, but we're careful to not abuse resources like that. =)
so what does this coming in next patch means?

It says "Coming in future patch". Which is true! It doesn't say "next patch".
I'm honestly sorry that there was misunderstanding. Maybe we need something that more clearly says "on the way, but not the very next update". We definitely don't want to give the wrong impression.
There are definitely new features (death recap, solos mode, and more).
But re: auto-run: It was not “supposed to be in this patch”. It’s coming. Likely next patch, but we never promise until we 100% know for sure, because unexpected issues happen all the time. But yes. The internal work has been done, it wasn’t done in time for today’s update’s deadline, but fingers-crossed it’ll be baked into the next one.
From 10:00 a.m. PT on August 9 through 10:00 a.m. PT on August 12, players will earn double XP for Top 5 finishes and wins.
Hmmm...
Edit: The blog originally said the quoted. I'm sure that's why the post got deleted and fixed.
Correct dates are from 16-19 👍

Read morePrediction Error
Basically, the servers distribute information about all players and their actions to all connected players of a match. But it takes a while for the data to reach each player, so in the meantime, the client machines "predict" what each of those other players is going to do. if [enemy] is running in a straight line, it's very likely that they will keep running in a straight line, so your machine can animate [enemy] running even if it doesn't know where [enemy] is.
However, if the server has difficulty providing enough updates at high enough speed, your machine will be "starved" of information and realize it is very likely going to draw enemies in wrong positions. For instance, if the server cannot push packets every 50 ms for whatever reason, but only every 150 ms, that's a lot of time during which enemies are routinely going to change direction or do something unexpected. This makes it harder to hit enemies, because you are firing a...
You're not describing prediction. Apex predicts only your clients actions and nothing more. You are describing extrapolation.
You fire your gun. Your client predicts it can fire [you're not dead yet], the shot's trajectory [you weren't dead when firing, nor shot and had no flinch], and hits a target / sprays blood from flesh [you weren't dead, no flinch, and trajectory intersected target from last server-snapshot's interpolation]. All of these -- your client's actions -- are predicted.
Where can mispredictions occur in the above?
When you shoot, it follows its tr...

On 8/13 we'll be trying out a Solos Mode in Apex for a limited time. We'll talk more about Solos when it's live and you've had a chance to play it. For now we're going to put it out there and see what happens and what kind of feedback we get.
More to come on 8/13!

Gonna have to polish my grapple after watchin that one!
Absolutely incredible work 👏👏

Yes. We've pushed features/other networking fixes to focus on this. We have this as no. 1 priority. Every patch, both server and client, have had things int the background to help us figure this Sh*t out. This issue has been really frustrating for a lot of people here.
OK, you've won the subreddit. Best OC yet.
