@Koochi-Q At least we know that they're trying to do something, we'll see if the outcome is good  . But don't lose hope, we just have to wait another year and a half to see them acknowledging the connection issues xD.

The new map is HUGE, that's why they introduce "Trident" where you can SIT inside !

"lush city in the clouds" - I hope it will be more urban environment and less open field spaces!

Nov 4th. Gives me bit of time to play before Cyberpunk 2077 on 19th.

We'll see what the map is like when it gets released.

But it's important, I believe, for Apex to regularly add maps because of the way they designed their game.  Fortnite got something correct from a gameplay standpoint, which is to smear their map with loot, including you might find it lying in the middle of a field.  It's not so immersive, but it means you can play Fortnite maps for longer without having problems with loot.

On the other hand, Apex, which is more immersive, tends to locate its loot in containers, and places 'that make sense'.  And I happen to like that better.  Okay, not everything makes sense but the map looks better.  And, of course, Apex is the game of 'stacking' equipment, like adding barrels, stocks, sights, etc. to your weapons.  That means the loot you find is more susceptible to RNG, like when you find 3 stupid white backpacks or knockdown shields in a bin with none weapons.

So, it means, your maps matter more, and the design matters more.  And after the maps are played for a while, they just become more susceptible to familiar and repeat pathing from players.  Nobody drops on the Dome much, for example, even though it's a fine place to gather loot.  

Apex isn't going to change it's core and that's fine.  But it does mean they need more work on their maps.

@KelRiever My dream come true would be when Lifeline is finally able to wipe a lobby all on her own without needing to be carried. Maybe instead of a care package she should get a nuke...

[rockyboy1998]

@Cracjaw450 Lifeline with the COD MW2 25 Kill Streak LOOOL imagine...

I think this thread is far too obsessed with the word 'DREAM'. I might have to get a restraining order.
