Apex Legends Dev Tracker

Part of the problem is that you set your initial price point so high that even your discounted prices are still too steep for most people.

For perspective, in another popular online game, Elder Scrolls Online, you can typically pick up new outfits for between $5-10, with only the super fancy ones matching the default Apex pricing by clocking in at around $18-$20. In both cases, those outfits are much more prominent and visible at all times than they are in a game like Apex; ESO is a social-heavy MMORPG, where you and others around you will spend a lot of time looking at your appearance, as opposed to only seeing it in a character select screen and very briefly during combat itself. So, to recap, they're A.) usually cheaper than your offerings and B.) offer more value to boot, even when priced similarly.

To look at a different, more PvP-centric game, you can take a look at World of Warships. While World of Warships has some comically expensive items for sale, fo...

No wonder you guys can't afford real servers and feel the need to price gouge a game aimed at children and young adults.

You know we would spend more money if the skins were cheaper.. like for example, weeks and weeks go by with me looking at $18 skins and having no interest to drop that kind of money on a cosmetic, however if they were half that price, I’d probably buy something out of every week.

A positive note for sure, but you will get no praise from me for fixing your mistakes. Lets just hope we can truly learn from them.

So if you want everything, would it be cheaper to get the loot boxes?

HI since you are here and replying to posts can you please give us an update on any improvements happening to the servers please ?

While temper tantrums are bad, I remember a time when developers didn't fill their game to the brim with micro transactions and monetization tactics. They cared about the games, not only the money. This is free to play, so micro transactions (cosmetic only, as they are in Apex) are acceptable. But I don't like when developers default to "ass-hat gamers". There needs to be blame on both sides, not just gamers and not just developers. People are understandably upset when developers are trying their best to squeeze money out of their players.

Anyways, I do appreciate the update and transparency, I do not appreciate shifting the blame back to "ass-hat gamers".

I know. It honestly sucks that people hate you guys. You are amazing, you are clear, you are some badass game devs. But there will always be toxicity. Its unavoidable nowadays. You dont get the praise you deserve for making an incredible game, you instead get complaints about said games flaws, in a truly horrible fashion. Im genuinely sorry for you guys. Just keep up the good work even if you have to trudge through 100 toxic people. 100 caustic gas traps. 100 wattson fences. Know that there will always be people looking to pick up your banner if you fall. Good luck with the future of Apex Legends. I look forward to what is next.

was a decision made to get $$$ , not to fix the broken promise.

If your goal was to provide choice on how players can get items, you would have done something other than "well people can buy 1 pack for $7 or 10 packs for $70 good choice"

This was a decision made because the whales are done spending money and packs aren't moving how you expected now.

Do you think $18 is a fair price for a Legendary skin?

Originally posted by lappdogg

Have you discussed lowering the shop prices? It seems drastically higher than any other F2P game or ones that sell cosmetics. I know for a fact I would buy skins at lower prices ($5-10 depending), but $18 for a character skin that I don't even see seems a bit much. Buying 4 skins would be more than paying a full MSRP ($60) for a game.

we just need to make enough money to keep the game going and make more stuff for everyone.

Don't bullshit us

They didn't respond quickly because people were blowing $200 to get the skins they want and heirloom. Once they saw a drop in the amount of people buying they made the announcement.

But the complaints and such were a factor, right?

...thanks?

I mean I was able to understand it. It's just that part of your "messaging" issue is you're talking to us about a video game like this is a Human Resources Convention.

Why don’t you say what will happen ‘before’ the event starts? Rather than say nothing until the day it drops, that would probably solve that issue and save you guys a lot of embarrassment
