Not at all, I'm saying we have the right people working on the right Issues.

Please, allow me. I replicate this issue every day.

For hit reg, anything is potentially helpful. If you can remember any particular circumstances around when the issue happens... e.g. only with a certain gun, only in a certain area, whenever you're playing a particular legend, etc... Clips like the one in the thread are very helpful, because we hope that they can provide a some clue as to the trigger.

So what's the deal with the radio silence.

What's the hold up? Why is none of this stuff being addressed, or any info about it being made available?

Why is your community manager posting once a week? Why two weeks without a patch or any comments about when one will be, while all your players are wondering?

You guys made a great game. We want to play it. But it needs fixed.

There's no radio silence, it's just that nothing significant has changed. Afaik, we have tracked and resolved some audio issues, which should be fixed in the next patch. I can't give an ETA on that, nor can I say exactly which audio issues were resolved. It might be just one of them, or all of them, or something in between.

We are still actively investigating hit reg and server slow down, but unfortunately we are still unable to reproduce them in our dev environment. Because of this we are engineering new solutions that will help us pull more information from the retail servers when these issues happen. Progress is being made, but once again, no ETAs. I know that isn't really the answer you want, it's just a wordy way of saying what we've already said; "we're working on it".

Unfortunately, there are far more things for us to spend our development time on than there is time, so we have to prioritize.

Respawn's reply when people complained about their lack of updates (before the last patch)

so we have to prioritize

Hitreg, sound issues and laggy servers were noted in the patch notes as still being worked on.

But changes to legends and guns made it to the patch.

Their priority is not on fixing these bugs ATM.

It's not a priority thing at all. Our engineers don't balance the characters and weapons, and our designers don't write engine code.

Fair point. There are other threads pointing out the same issue that would have been better to respond on. My apologies.

Honestly, it’s probably a bug. There was no formal update saying it had been changed.

11 hours of private server goodness from twitch eu this weekend. It's pretty amazing seeing how the game plays when there's money on the line and no pub stomping.

Wow, I wish it was that easy

Known issue that's been fixed locally here. Basically, in some cases fractional (<0.5%) amounts of damage can be dealt to his health at the same time that you damage his shields. When it decides which damage number to show you, it's showing health, even though you also got shields.

You know you have to quarantine China but you won't. It won't fix all cheaters but it will fix a vast majority of them.

Afaik, it's not as simple as "quarantine China". The game is not released there, and I believe that means they're playing through VPN (or multiple VPN at once) or other means. It takes more than just flipping a switch or filtering some IP blocks.

Aim-bot and wall-hack are still there. Game hacking is a million dollar business in China, they have manpower, resource and sales channel that they can update hacking tools everyday. It is impossible solving this via anti-cheat software and weekly ban wave. That is the reason CS:GO has used prime queue and mobile phone register.

Very true, and fortunately we have more in the works. :) Some things take more time than others, but we're well aware that this will be a perpetual battle on multiple fronts for as long as Apex is played.

Just FYI, this footage is old (pre 1.1)

No, not at all. What we mean is a small bug that makes it so you cannot even see the armor before a couple of seconds while looting. So it basically isn't there untill a couple seconds have passed. The armor is placed well on the list

EDIT: Corrections

Ahh,. I see. I'll see if we can improve it. No promises on actual results or time frame, but I'll make sure it's on the list.

[Edited so you'll have to wonder what exactly this post said, and because it was a lil aggressive as it came after a bought of about 20 matches where I either started with 2 people, or had to fight 3 people at a time as my "teammates" immediately died or were in Timbuktu] 2nd edit: I guess he wanted you to see all the issues there are with the game and development team that's letting it stagnate (imo)... I mean I edited it originally to spare them that after such a well thought out response, but good to see he appreciates context.

Basically: you adding solos? If not let me know so I can stop practicing as none of my friends will play this game with me whenever I want, let alone play it at all, and I don't feel like trolling discords for friends that will also stop playing in a couple days. ;)

Edit: finding out Respawn is neglecting Apex to produce their new Star wars game is pretty f**king shitty, but explains why the game is dying.

Edit: Show original context for reply

And why exactly is there only one mode, yet you're adding 20$ P2020 skins to the store?

I mean I haven't bought a pack, and didn't buy the battle pass because of the severe lack of content, I don't think you realize how badly I WANTED to buy it and support the game...

Before realizing even it's own developers don't support it, and won't add a solo queue while maintaining the integrity of the original mode intact, hell, they won't even try adding solos, to keep people who don't play all day or who arent children occupied while their sweaty friends arent online....

Can't wait until Respawn realizes how fighting entire teams of 3 for an entire match, or just getting wrecked by the 1st squad you see, because you were paired with a 4 year old that shouldn't be playing the game, can be a little irritating while not being fun, like at all...

That's not even mentioning that 50% of the matches...

Can you also pass this one along

Sure. By "show up", I assume folks would like to see armor sort closer to the top of the list?

What if my respawn timer times out? Can I leave then without penalty? I don't want to sit in a game with a bunch of randoms that I can no longer play in.

Respawn timer never factored in either. If you're dead, you are free to leave.

Just FYI, the penalty was never applied if your team wasn't full.
