First of all I would like to say congratulations for giving the community and myself a very enjoyable experience for these past 2 seasons; it has been a lot of fun to play apex and wrack up kills/wins and some awesome clips for YouTube and the world to see.
Now let us get into the issues with apex for this post, first of all, PLEASE, for the love of god, TURN THE SOUND FX DOWN! Every time I play this game, something tends to make my ears ring after playing. Please reduce the following sound fx:
- crypto's drone
- the static sound when people start to drop from the drop ship
- sound fx in general needs to be lowered a lot more when it is in the game, i understand that the louder it is, the more emphasis it has, but if its soo loud that you brain starts to hurt, then this is most definitely a problem.
Here are a bunch of other issues wrong with the game from season 3 launch:
- The sun is too bright
- Some areas in the map are too vibrant, the colours start to hurt my eyes (not sure if it hurts other people's but it definitely does hurt mine)
- Every single gun has been changed so that long range battles are favoured more, but now the game just seems bland, fights just seem.. boring
- R301/FLATLINE/R99/ and the new energy gun are the best 4 guns to use, every other gun is mediocre when compared to them (energy weapons still work pretty well though!), the game doesnt feel like it has synergy anymore
- The map is too big, it completely destroys the need for team play when there is no cover, lack of loot, most of the map is empty, and the entire map practically looks the same (loot/house wise)
- Bloodhound feels useless to use now, wattson feels a little useless with crypto being op, crypto's drone does need to come out a little faster, the two second delay is a little annoying, plus we should be able to cancel it at anytime (This is what I think).
- This game feels more like a running simulator than what was offered in its current state, please do something about this.
- The alternator feels a little weak now
- The loot is very scarce and needs to be updated ASAP
- Adding a penalty for leaving the game early was a good idea, but my game still shockingly crashes around 2 hours after playing, so i have to restart the game manually to stop this, will i still be penalised?
I hoped for season 3 there would be some really thought about new content (great job on the season pass btw!) which would be meaningful, the new double tap hop up for the EVA feels a little weak, maybe its time the EVA got some love and a nice buff?
There are more issues that are wrong with the game, but I can't currently think of them.
Please give us a map which was similar to kings canyon, others may have hated the map, but I loved that map (and I'm sure many others did too, and still will after playing this new map). Also, I understand the need for changing the meta, But I personally felt that even though some guns were a little op, each gun prior to the changes, needed to be nerfed/buffed. I do not feel like the r301 needed the new hop up, since it was very overpowered in its current state, the disruptor rounds definitely needed to be removed, BUT, nerfing them would have also worked. I feel like some of the new areas need to be re-done, they look very similar compared to how kings canyon looked, and I hate to say it but, apart from some parts of the new map looking spectacular (like the new locked room which only crypto can open), I actually hate this current live version of the game and I am not enjoying it that much at all, I feel like the developers are catering to long range too much, maybe it was mostly because people complained about being third partied way too much, But I will say one thing, after getting third partied 5-7x in a row, and surviving the entire fight, it is very enjoyable and a good bonding experience.
I would also really prefer the rest of the apex community to comment on here and please tell me your thoughts on the current live version of this game.
Do you agree with my post? if yes/no, Why?
Are you enjoying it?
What do you think of the map?
What do you think of the meta?
Do you think we should have kings canyon back or be able to choose between both maps?
What do you think could be done to solve the issues with this live version of the game, if there are any?
Any other thoughts on your mind about this game?
UPDATE: I was okay with a leavers penalty, but now I am AGAINST IT 100%

I pushed 2 squads who were fighting only to get downed unluckily, one squad was wiped, the second was too far away to do any sort of pushing, the FIRST storm was incoming, and these "teammates" proceeded to refuse to revive me just so they could get my loot.
Edit 10/10/2019
So now we're getting kings canyon back, but only with solo mode.. lol what's wrong with this company >_<

I agree with a lot of what people have mentioned but at the same time, The map is fine. And there are jump towers everywhere. People just want to frag out all the time and not pay attention to the storm. Which is annoying. I get the whole running simulator, but I honestly enjoyed playing it today for 3-5 hrs. I never really felt in the 50 games I played that I was running to much. If anything I felt like I was tired of being matched with these psychopaths in gold that wanted to push every moving object.
The guns were just as unbalanced at the end of season 2 as they are the beginning of season 3. People that are really upset their favorite spot or gun or legend has been tweaked, nerfed, taken away: relax. Maybe you are just getting tired of EA in general, which is understandable. You sat there and hoped for the best for your personal needs and they just weren't met.
I personally have no issue with any gun. I don't pick up what I know I will be crap with after trying them all and that is less than half of the weapons. Only because im not good with them. Other than I have a nice balance of weapons that will get the job done. The r99 works like a charm for me, and I'm so satisfied with the peacekeeper and shotguns. Even if I am on the recieving end.
But there does need to be fixed bugs, audio, red coins, penalty charges and maybe some other stuff.
I had no connection issues, the colors of the map me and a bunch homies agreed were beautiful and in fact loved the attention to detail. Idk a lot of pros/* but nothing major.
We all knew EA wasn't going to do some SPECTACULAR.
We all know abut this is nice and can be worked with easy of the 124 days of season 3, which I think is a bit excessive but that's just me.

so respawn pushing the game to long range camping meta where every1 camp in a building with watson and cripto and have all information in the world and spam energy weapon without 0 drop to 1km long great job you made this game unfun to play

Adapt, people.
Adapt to the meta. Longer range does not mean you have to shoot from 500m away.
I'm so sick of R99-Peacekeeper combo meta in the past. This is a Welcome change.
Love it so far.

The main issues I'm hearing about are bugs that need to be fixed and some areas are lacking loot? Pretty annoying problems but nothing this game hasn't seen before. Beyond that are complaints about the change in play style which is... fair. I've never seen snipers as a threat so seems like it'll be interesting to try this new map out.
Changes to the weapons, Legends, and map might be too much for players to adapt to at first so that was a mistake. Still I can't wait to see what the actual issues are once things have settled down.
