Through all the crap that's been going on, I'm happy to say that I'm actually really excited for this new season.
I just heard a lot of new nerfs/buffs, add-ons, take aways, and not to mention a new and slightly bigger map that looks great. Hats off from a $$$-hat great job EA. You will be earning my battle pass 🤝🏾
Ps- I really hope there is a solos- ranked coming and also you do something about using the red coins you give us. Maybe not forcing us to buy a skin just to use them. Other then that, looking forward to the release date🤙🏾
Solved! Go to Solution.

@DoYaSeeMe I understand some of the concern with split player base. I am just starting to play Apex again after a month off. The disconnects have certainly been controlled much better. In regards to solo splitting or not splitting the player base, TF2 still has an active lobby, I have been playing multi player and frontier defense along with re-playing the story mode over the last month. In any given game time the worst wait I saw was 1 minute. Not really sure when the wait time was longer than that tbh. Of course I took breaks from it for COD and Fortnite. On a side note I am neither in favor of nor against solo, Fortnite succeeded with those offerings because it had LTM's rolled out every week alongside the other modes.
Personally I would like to see the ability to play custom matches more than a solo mode but that is my feeling on it. Ltm's will bring new life to the game as witnessed recently with solo and the armed and dangerous event. I don't think solos would break or split Apex, but since I don't design games for a living it is just an opinion like everyone else's.

I'm desperately waiting for solos, as I'm on the verge of quitting this game, dealing with randoms makes me want to pull my hair out.

It is unlikely they will release solo as a core mode.
Solo and Duo will be used as a cash grab the same as before. They know the player base wants these modes and they know they can get the whales to spend for the limited time loot with these modes. This was proven during the solo event or the cash cow event ($160 minimum spend)
Its a shame but we can only hope that when the player base drops even lower that maybe respawn will understand greed is pointless when there is no players to buy there stuff

My friends list is around 700 players. At of this maybe 450 use to play apex with me.
Now 3 people play apex with me.
The issue is that no one I play with enjoys being placed with randoms. This causes an adverse affect where people dont bother to play. Solo and Duo would clearly see a rise in players and would also see many streamers coming back. It is something that has been said time and time again by big named players. However it seems that respawn is set on forcing us into 3 man groups.

Steps back from what?
Looking at this picture:
Doesn't say classic BR, also wants to step away from solos by bringing in more tactics.
Randoms are bad? Well, aren't you also a random when solo queuing? Ha...

@SilentChillBruhActually I thought at the time that bringing in a taste of solo mode is a bad idea, even if they did clearly state that it's a Limited Time Event. I was against it, but it didn't feel as unbalanced as I expected, so I wouldn't mind if they bring it back again as a limited time event. I don't want it permanent though, as it can affect the game on the longterm.
