Hi legends,
This new QoL thread is inspired by @Cabowse's thread here. This is a place to get your own request on the list, or to link a good idea you found somewhere else! The ideas from the linked thread are placed here as well, included many Reddit posts and/or Twitter ideas.
Do you have a Quality of Life request?
One rule: I will only put QoL changes in the list, not requests for buffs/nerf or other game parts. There is however no real definition of what a QoL change is, but we'll try to follow how Respawn categorizes the patch notes. Like so:
Quality of Life |
Not Quality of Life |
Damage counter |
Sheila angle increase from 120° to 180° |
Pinging Ammo |
Mirage decoys create footstep sounds. |
A new VO line when using a Phoenix Kit |
A request to turn down SBMM or add Solo mode |
Hard to define QoL requests will be put in the list just to be sure.

Two things
1) Accounts should be accessible cross platform since the game is cross platform. I began Apex on Playstation, and I want to play on PC, but I can't link my account and carry over any of my progress or unlocks. Fortnite and CoD Coldwar can do it, I think it's too good of a measure to not implement.
2) In-game team voice chat should have a volume slider. Even with the rest of my audio settings turned down to 30% or lower, I still find it hard to hear what my team is saying.
May 2021
If Cross Platfrorm account usage is undoable, Keyboard and Mouse support should be available on Console

Amazing! Ground braking new idea! Listening to what players want in a forum called FEEDBACK... I'm flattered... After 2 years... Dude you should really get another job at EA public relations...
Anyway Will there be some discussion about game balance questions, which EA staff really read? Because right now these forums are for us, pawns argue about the so many imbalance issues, and devs do nerf/boost based on what the statistics say without even starting the game. At least this is what we, players experience, that devs never listen to players....

What I would like to see is a toggle Walk/Run key binding or Hold/Tap to Walk when autorun is enabled, if crouch can be toggleable I see no reason why walking/running cant be too. This would be a very welcoming quality of life edition.

Also have your Tactical ability be available as soon as you respawn
