Product: Apex Legends
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Bundy_d-_-b
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. Don’t know they were randoms
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Pathfinder
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? mirage, Gibraltar
Where did the issue occur? Loading into the match from the lobby
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Squad profile
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Waiting for the drop ship to load
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 3
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 09.17.21; 16:45
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? On Ranked match if you abandon a match there is a severe penalty. I’m at Platinum 1 and with only 3 days left I cannot afford to lose any more points. I lost -72 pts even before the lobby loaded.
What should be happening instead? The drop ship should have loaded so I could jump to map.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure, there have server issues since the Rampart event.
Attached is error I reported to PSN.
But Respawn will extend ranked split by 1 week - isn't that a solution 
To be honest, at this point I am 100% sure that this game is saved only by the fact that there is no better alternative in the market...or at least I don't know any, please tip me if you do, I will uninstall Apex with pleasure at this point.
In my opinion since March 2021 I have not seen much "great" stuff here:
- Visuals - yes, this is my first BR game and I have not played FPS games online since way back when...this was a bit of a wow effect
- Variety of guns and legends - ok...good enough
- Ranked mode - nothing new
- Pubs / Arenas - usual stat-boosting mode for most where no one really gives a F about it - same as 20 years ago
- Imperfect matchmaking that frustrates people - still here and not changed, I still don't get why getting a set squad with randoms is so overrated and leads to much harder lobbies
- Hacking, smurfing, lack of action from Respawn - sub-par, killing this game slowly but surely
- Really constant bugs before, during and after patches - seems like a social experiment where Respawn is testing how much people will bear with issues before quitting
- Community that mostly consists of people who are following stats, visuals, addons rather than getting better or in many cases even trying to master game's basics - sub-par, killing this game for competitive players for sure
- Unclear and constant changes to the game, Respawn's politics, game customization options and most importantly constant changes of FPS in the game (first game when I have ~50% FPS drops depending on the situation in-game) - very frustrating and puzzling at the same time given back in the days games like Quake, Unreal, Half-life even damn Crysis either did run on your PC or it did not / was unplayable, this though is a constant mix of both somehow while Respawn being not at all small market player...
As much as I would like to emphasize more pros than * I just can't. It was fun to understand the game during my first season, it was fun to battle through the second one, but now in my third when I reached Diamond level and still see bugs and hacking on a constant basis, I am very sure that this will be my last season in the game - it is just pointless waste of time unless you become a streamer and help people to get ride of their money via streaming how good you are at game exploits...otherwise this just does not make sense to me, sorry.
