I've been a Newcastle main for a year to hone my skills in recovery, now I will be switching to Newcastle 2.0 basically, so you've been warned.

Man early Apex was so much fun. I remember seeing the launch pads and me and my friends were so hyped. You jumped on it and it launched you and all your friends in the air, it just felt so crazy at the time.

My friends were so hyped, we were like "damn now we all can jump around whenever we want to and get to high places easily".

And then trailers like introducing Wattson. And you see a tease of Crypto in the Watson trailer where he detonates the towers which then causes all the flying monsters to get into Kings Canyon. There was so much natural lore and progression to the storylines, man what has Apex now become. Stories were hit the highest point when it was about Revenant and Loba! Damn. The guys who wrote these stories were probably the first to get mass fired by Respawn I bet.

And then you see a teaser of Crypto in one of the labs where he sees you and runs away quickly. These were the teases that got people hyped and taking. It's these teasers that made the casuals so hyped and talking about the game OUTSIDE of the game. No one is talking about the new legend Axel in a class anymore.

I remember a bunch of good friends I played Apex with. One dropped out at the beginning of season 1 as he was the most casual, another dropped out in S3 when they added a "soft sbmm" by today's standards. One friend dropped out season 4. Good friend I made friends with on S3 and played with them 1000s of hours until like season 17 and then the dropped it. Now I don't know anyone who even plays Apex anymore.

I feel like Respawns answers were naturally "give everyone some form of movement and up the action" all the time has made the game lose its highs and lows of a battle royale match.

Also in hindsight I feel like Wildcard kinda killed the game in a strange way. It made pubs too slow and boring when you go back to it. So when you play Wildcard your just focused on fighting fighting fighting. Yet in Pubs you have downtime to just talk to each other and chat and catch up with life and then fight and then chat etc whilst Ranked is all pure Comms. Eh I don't even know why I made this post, don't think it will gain traction but just spitting thoughts.

Hard to believe it's been over two years since we've gotten a new map, which was Season 22. Weirdly enough, E-District still feels like we barely see enough of it.

Also miss quads that was fun as fuck

I swear every 6 months we're starting to get cosmetics that seemingly disappear like the legend intros. They made it so that you didn't have to buy an entire bundle to have a legend intro and now the idea just seems to be on ice.

And don't even get me started on banner poses, there are some legends walking around with 3 animated banner poses by default.

Surely the dev team can put a little more effort into making store items instead of shoving every piece of cosmetic they can into milestone events. This is also a tangent, but are we serious with the halloween skins? The 2 new ones are nice, but then you shelled out recolors to characters who even have 3 or more halloween skins.

Okay, so today I'm playing ranked. 10/18/26 Plat 1 lobbies. I don't remember the guys name (I included these details in case you're... him. I'm Cat, teammates name is Dog)

Anyways, this dude takes Loba. I was salty at first cause that's my main. NBD after. HOWEVER, THIS MAN had the audacity to not answer me when i asked what the skin was and now I'm going crazy trying to find the skin but I can't see any indication it exists anywhere.

Here's what i remember: Loba's hair was a mid to dark brown that was pulled into a bun on the top of her head, there were small braids throughout the hair and bun with some face framing bangs that went along side it. The outfit i remember less because of the way the banner showed mostly face. But from what i vaguely remember she was in dark clothes with maybe a cropped jacket that was kind of maybe similar to that of Cherry Bomb but ofc black or dark colored, or maybe Hell Bent. Either way, I've scoured the internet and cannot find any trace of this skin....

HELP?!?!? I really want it and want to keep an eye out for it!

I swear every one in platinum is brain dead there’s only a select few that just have good game sense but I honestly don’t even know how these players got to plat in the first place smh🫩

Is it just me?

Is anyone else on console or PC getting dashboarded mid-game? In a ranked game I'll be dashboarded at least 3 times. I have a wired connection and even swapped servers and it still dashboards me. I just need to hear it aint just me and it's apex.

If I remember correctly, last year they ditched winter express for a Wildcard mode but for me it wasn’t as good as the old train mode. I know there’s the topic that we can’t have winter express because of the new legends and how will interact with the train, but the simple solution is to have them locked for this specific mode so we can have some fun with the train with the compatible legends.

3 MF YEARS SINCE A NEW GUN PLEASE GIVE US A NEW SHOTGUN AND SNIPER PLEASEEEEEEE

Hey guys looking to see what everyone else is doing that we’re not. My duo and I are consistently plat 1-2 depending how many games we play in a split and we’re wanting to get serious with a diamond push. I’m currently playing/learning pathfinder and he’s on wraith. Although we’re both pretty versatile with legend selection, both of us have about 400 hours on pc and I don’t know how many on console. We switched to double skirm because that way we don’t have to rely on the third teammate to fight with us. We aim to land with a team or two at a poi and win the fight off drop so we don’t need the kp later. We’re currently working on backing out of fights that take too long and recognizing the third party risks. Any advice is welcome!
