So first the event started off with being unable to connect.. okay great... this is typical each update. I didn't expect getting on right away either. Confirmed to be an issue with the game. Its also 100% NOT my Wi-Fi connection either. (So don't blame it, like you usually do, EA Support).
The servers finally let me on about 6 or so hours later. Yet the servers are VERY laggy, and most of the teams have two members. Several matches in a row, I don't load in. I just see the loading screen and then gets slapped with:
I clicked "Continue", and tried to relaunch, then this occured:
Was playing with two other people, and this also occured to one of them.
Your game is completely and utterly bugged as heck, and it seems like there's more priority put towards expensive skins that are mostly not appealing in the slightest, rather than bug fixing and stablizing the game. Like, the Devs patched the Wattson "Easter Egg" emote, where you could place the Nessie on your teammates, even though it DIDN'T break the game or cause issues, but of course, the big issues are swept under the rug.
Edited: Tried to start another match. hit with:
The only gamemode that "works", is Arenas. The playerbase been telling you guys that they don't want Arenas forced onto them, yet that's exactly what you go and do.

Hey @Midnight9746 it sounds like you may be having issues with your connection. I would suggest taking a look at our Connection troubleshooting steps which you can find here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/

Why must EA always put it down to the players? Look at your forums it's full of complaints and issues, especially ranked arenas yet all these posts get ignored and nothing gets mentioned!

I would suggest sending this post in an email to the server guys
When every update patch breaks my game, and a complete uninstall and reinstall fixes it, it is not the players' computers or internet connection. There is something broken in the update process.

@EA_Darko Read the ping in the first picture, while connected to the Iowa server, I have a ping of 32-48ms with NO packet loss. Yet, connection issues. My ping is easily higher in other games, and those pings are sometimes around 50-60ms, if not higher. I don't even have a "connection" issue with those games either.
Like consider this, its from a Minecraft server I'm currently connected to:
89ms, I have zero lag, zero issues, and everything is running smoothly. Granted it doesn't have players bombarding the server trying to connect, but even on THOSE servers, still have zero issues. Its Apex, not me.
Not to mention:
Respawn THEMSELVES said it was an issue:

Is it still my internet connection now? Because seeing that copy and paste message does not spark joy. I know when its my connection, and I wouldn't complain about it, if it was my connection.

Hey @Midnight9746 those tweets you link above from the APEX team including the one where Respawn confirms it's working again were sent hours before your post.
If you are seeing issues connecting I'd recommend trying the steps shared above and to give it time and keep trying.
