Cross progression...biggest QoL integration possible. Every year we get the same "update" on the "progress" being made in the works to implement it with no actual results. Just blind baited hope into keeping console players to buy content. But with the game being near unplayable on current-gen consoles, a lot of players are looking into moving to PC instead of buying next-gen consoles. The day one's (like myself) plus anyone else that loves this game and wants to continue to support it, all we're asking is to be shown the simple courtesy of being able to access the content we've worked and paid for. It's the same game, regardless of what they're playing on, just let people have the stuff they paid for whether it be in time or actual money. If you want to advertise TRUE cross play, cross progression should be included as a standard feature along with it.

I would like to see a reduction or removal of the bright particle effects that occur when shooting through Rampart's Amped cover. The bright particle effects makes it too difficult to see the target you are shooting at with Sheila, and I have actually found more success with Sheila sometimes when not using any amped cover. I believe Rampart would become a lot more viable with this quality of life change and we would not even have to change anything else of of her stats. For balance though, I would only remove/reduce the particle effect for the user or team shooting through amped cover, because it is important that other teams can see the particle effects and identify amped cover shots.

Make Fuse have a "normal throw" and a "power throw" just to make frag grenade tosses more consistent.

Ping System and Arenas
Ping System Options:
The option to mute pings, but still be able to see the visual ping, pinged items, downed player revive information, and death boxes. The current mute option is actually a "disable option". Please give players the ability to simply "mute pings" while keeping the visual pings in place and add the current option to "disable pings" to the settings menu. Furthermore, it would be nice if players could choose which pings they would like to see (e.g. enemy pings, map pings, loot pings, etc.). I think these changes would be much better than disabling the ping system altogether.
As it stands, when utilizing the current mute option players cannot see the visual ping, pinged items, downed player revive information, and death boxes. IMO, the current mute option is overreaching and should not effect the visual aspect of the game. This issue effects Crypto the most because when using the current mute option it is extremely difficult to retrieve respawn banners when the death boxes are not visible. Players should still be able to use the current disable option if they so desire. I think the ping system is great, but I prefer to use it (in it's current state) when I'm playing with a premade team. I solo queue a lot without a mic and my randoms ping excessively throughout the match. The ping sound (when used excessively or spammed) ruins the gaming experience for me. I have very sensitive hearing. I perform better when I can focus and make the best gameplay decision without teammate interference. It's the sound that bothers me the most, not the visual pings. Furthermore, most times my teammates are "panic pinging", and I perform best in this game when I'm relaxed. The most irritating ping spams is when my teammates are knocked and it prevents me from hearing the enemies audio cues (e.g. footsteps, sliding, healing, etc.).
Arena Banner Stats:
IMO, Arena and BR Banner Stats should display according to the game mode the player is currently playing, (e.g., “Arena Kills” and “BR Kills” banner trackers).
As it stands, BR banner stats are displayed during the Arena team introduction screens. This makes Arenas feel secondary to BR. Arena players deserve to have their Legend Arena stats displayed instead. Also, players will have insight into how well their teammates have been doing in Arenas. In addition, it would be nice to have a Champion Squad displayed for Arenas. If both teams won their last match, then the Champion Squad should be chosen based on who had the best stats, similar to BR.
Thanks for your time! Please excuse any typos. I’ve been playing Apex since Day 1 and it’s been great to see this game evolve. I’ve played a lot of multiplayer shooter games in my gaming past and Apex is by far the best multiplayer shooter I’ve played in this genre (with TF2 being my second favorite). Keep up the great work!!!
FYI – IMO, Arenas is the future of Apex esports. This mode is extremely fun to play and watch. Considering the number of leavers, having more players per team and default rounds would not be good for this mode. Players will appreciate how well developed this mode is as it evolves. Ranked Arenas and Arena LTMs will be a highlight for this game.

If you want quality of life improvements, you can start by these 3, simple but quite effective:
1. Take away EVO shields and put the level 4 shield (red) as a rare/unique drop.
2. Remove the stupid, ridiculous teleport aim-lock punches.
3. Remove shield swap from loot boxes. (person got downed so the shield is destroyed. The idea that the shield is automatically full because it's a new character is ridiculous.)
This give players more RNG, if your luck is bad you will have a low level shield but highly unlikely near end-game due to Lifeline's increased care package, overal care packages throughout the game, the synthesizer and so forth.
This also gives an overal increased TTK across the board and increases difficulty.

Hi! I've been playing since original launch also and patiently wait for the typing chat to be redesigned. I guess for some
programming reason each screen has it's own chat sandbox and it would be sooo refreshing to have it unified and overlaying
ANY screen we happen to be on. It's maddening when you're down and trying to type assistance to teammates and the chat
window closes because your legend was finished. If it just closed that would be annoying but it closes and uses a different chat
window from your death screen so you have to start your sentence from scratch. Then if you're ever back on the "down" screen
you end up seeing your old partial sentence still sitting there. Please fix, it's a daily struggle!

Not sure how common this issue it, but it would be nice to have a second confirmation screen for leaving arenas. I'm used to leaving br matches upon loss, but that muscle memory hurts in arena where I can't join back in once I've left accidentally. I'm always in premades so I can apologize, but it sure would be nice if there was a menu similar to the BR revival option popup.

1) Change character skin on character select screen. i.e. match a team mate, forget to switch to your favorite, ect.

2) Check Mark Toggle Button in 'CHALLENGES' tab to "SHOW COMPLETED CHALLENGES" it would be much cleaner and easier to look at if it didn't show my completed challenges.
