fan are not happy , to say the least .
EA recently harbinger the Battle Pass inspection and repair in Apex Legends , which has turned out to be one of the most controversial changes in the account of the first - person shooter . While they say this will improve the value and cut the grind to unlock rewards , the community believes the remodeling is outright greedy and unnecessary .
The minute Apex Legends share theblogabout the Battle Pass update which is to get with the Season 22 update , societal media platform were flooded with critique from fans and community of interests figure alike . When give his take , democratic subject matter creatorNokodidn’t contain back , say , " This some of the most EA s * * * I ’ve ever seen " , which is hard to disagree with .
Until now , each seasonal update in Apex Legends came with a refreshed Battle Pass with 110 point of cosmetic reward unlockable by playing the game . From Season 22 Shockwave onwards , the game will boast two Battle Passes for each season ( i.e. one for each snag ) . Each Battle Pass will now have 60 stage instead of 110 and an improved set of rewards as you may see in the range above .
Previously , the Battle Pass could be purchased by expend Apex Coins which you had collected over time ( 950 coins for Premium and 2800 coin for Premium+ Pass ) . With the new update , you will only be able to buy a Battle Pass by spending money ( $ 10 for Premium and $ 20 for Premium+ Pass ) . This is one of the main reasons behind the united outcry by the instrumentalist base .
Furthermore , return the two Battle Passes each season , if you want to roll up all the cosmetic rewards you ’ll have to expend $ 20 in amount for the Premium and $ 40 for the Premium+ Battle Pass . Based on all the reddit and Twitter discussions about this matter , it ’s unclouded many are reluctant to pass money double every seasonal update .
More pressing matters
Apex Legends is a one - of - a - kind game that has been amongst the most played first person triggerman for the past few year . However , this Battle Pass change add up to a pile of other issues that could contribute to its downfall .
The game has for a foresighted time been in an unpleasant country thanks to theserver connectivity issues , bugs , and rearing deceiver problem as mention by Reddit user tobifrass . This update was announce when everyone was expect Respawn to speak about what changes they ’ve planned to fix the major problems that have been persisting in Apex Legends . Instead , they give thespian a Battle Pass overhaul they did n’t really want .
While saying this update was " the final nail in the coffin " , drug user randomredditing also added that Respawn has n’t yet addressed the Cronus problem , which some controller actor apply to cheat by toning down weapon backlash and boost intent assist .
What overhear my care the most was a simple doubtfulness by Spitfirekeen who ask how pay $ 20 for a game with no server in his entire continent is justifiable . Yes , indeed , Africa does n’t have any servers for Apex Legends . It can be aver that the community is n’t massive in that realm , but if someone from South Africa is to play the game , the least ping they can anticipate is 180 ms , which is atrocious for a multiplayer first person shooter .
Battle Pass boycott incoming
Several players have expressed they ’ve uninstalled Apex Legends and are n’t going to play the plot until the problems are resolved , while others are direct a full - on protest .
To summarize , the proposed strategy involves deflect playing or funding the plot in any means or engaging with the community in any mode apart from furthering the boycott .
comment in response to the call for action are positivist , echo the persuasion players should stop fund the game to make their voice heard . " Do n’t devote . That ’s the way , " writes Appropriate - Pride608 ( a protest slogan if I ever heard one ) , while joeyb908 chime in , " Do n’t pay , do n’t play . " Elsewhere , Narukami_7 intimate a reboot of a previous protest ( " No Apex August " ) , which would give fans plenty of time to organize , while give birth a catchy name to rush .
With any luck , Electronic Arts will take heed and answer with at least a more reasonable Battle Pass ( it would n’t be the first clip we ’ve seen such a thing from a publishing company ) , though a full - on retroversion may be best .
