Players are leaving Apex. So I went to find them.

►Apex has players come and go, but recently in the past few months it feels like the player population has trended downward. Where did those players go? I'm here to find out.

Hearing an Apex Legends player say The Finals TTK is long is wild to me. It's also so upsetting The Finals hasn't taken off player base wise

[@nishantghorpade4820]

imo finals ttk is similar to apex, gunplay felt decent but that game was way too unbalanced, some really annoying abilities and movement was a little janky

[@jezoboii]

@@nishantghorpade4820 it's definitely pretty balanced these days. You can do well with every class. As for the movement I don't know. It was janky when it was first released but that has since been fixed. I guess you just need to get familiar with it

[@JKennyPro]

If the finals kept the alpha/beta movement, it would've held players better due to hard-core and memers wanting to do crazy movement. The movement isn't as smooth as apex but in the alpha and beta the movement was absurd to arcade levels and if it leaned into the arcade shooter more I think it would've done better. I personally played a crapload in the first season but the game lost me when the movement felt like there was no skill-gap and expression to an extent, that tied with the rewasd problem most of that season, heavy nukes not being adjusted for the entire time made me give up

[@lilbeartv9039]

I think he is kinda just referring to when you have a straight line of sight which I wouldn’t entirely disagree with. With Apex it sometimes is understandable because the opponent has red shield and you have a white extended mag. Whereas with the finals it always feels like you are using the whole clip if you are perfect aim which just feels off.

[@dizzymcdizz]

My biggest quandary/issues with Apex. Is cheaters and that the game has started to feel more and more like a giant cash grab. As a day 1 player of Apex it just feels like EA cares less about the players themselves and more about the players wallets and how much they can squeeze out of us. Which is horrible considering the state of the economy and how bad most people are struggling nowadays financially. Its pretty scummy IMHO.

[@thelonelywolff]

especially when we had collection events, they used to be very special and cool but now it feels like a cash grab like you said, even more so when there's a collection event almost every other time you log on the game.

Went back to playing TitanFall 2. Respawn should go back to its roots. Storyline, gameplay, etc was better.

[@DWMaje]

You know what game would destroy Apex? Titanfall 3.....the game that died for Apex's sins. Titanfall 2 had the movement everyone wanted, modes outside of BR, and most importantly servers. TF2 servers were 60 tick. Apex being on 20 tick is inexcusable. Fortnite and PUBG's success made Respawn/EA want to get in on it.....but instead of making TF 3 and adding a BR mode they doubled down. As an ex player and day 1 player I don't miss Apex and pissed that TF2 is still a better game. TF 3 could have been what FPS needed.

I was genuinely and quite literally, physically and mentally tired of this game. So I switched to more casual games and it literally felt a weight pressing down on my brain was being lifted. The first of the games that caught my attention was Warframe. It provided and actually rewarded me for my efforts and I didn't need to play for my life each round.

My answer to your community post, and maybe a suggestion for the second channel, is Rocket League! It really scratches the competitive itch for me, the skill ceiling is INSANELY high, but you can also just hop on and goof around in a few matches.

Sea of Thieves is the one, the problem is you don't truly unlock what SOT is all about until quote a whole into the game. On it's surface it's getting sunk and following maps to dig up treasure.

My friends and I have pulled over other ships as the Sea Police only to be paid off with a couple chests to let them go. Hid on people's ships to draw weiners on their map. Filled our galleon with eight pirates just to absolutely scare the crap out of a sloop my all boarding them at once. Then making them play shanties with us.

I missed the poll, but I've started playing Cold War. It has a lot more freedom when it comes to moving (not per say movement) in contrast to Apex. In addition my sprinting in the game works fine whilst in Apex my sprinting just doesn't function correctly. I also found that having no damage numbers and seeing the health bar is much easier to fight with than just guessing roughly how much health the opponents have left. There is also the fact the servers and engine run much smoother than the one on Apex (the servers are still shit when joining friends, but not nearly as bad as Apex servers). Cold War is more enjoyable casually than Apex so I'm not bumming Apex, I'll most likely come back when they fix a major part of their game like they should've done ages ago.

I could never come back to Overwatch. Blizzard announced Overwatch2 with a big koop PvE mode. Then we waited multiple years for them to cancel it right before the release date. I don't mind there being only 1 tank now or new modes. The problem is with that update they changed their Game Strategy from "Developed for Players" to "Developed for Shareholders". They made every skin stupidly expensive when it was easy to obtain in Overwatch 1. They released a battlepass that I would rather call Scampass. In the first battlepass you could only get 1 skin when you bought the premium pass. Many of these changes have still not been reverted- so I'm not coming back.

[@scofrona]

My recent grind has been Valorant. Ranked system is WAY less RNG than a battle royale, skills building has a direct upward path, cheaters are more frequently addressed, and significantly more diverse community b/c of consistent moderation and marketing. The thing with Apex is I love it, but I can't squad up much anymore. Part of that is how my high account level (515 or so) forces friends who are new or aren't as good up against master/pred/smurf accounts. My friend who has played pro and grinds high ranks runs into the same cheaters regularly and you make non-zero videos about the cheater issue. It's hard to get friends into a game where half the lobby are people who play 5-8 hours every day who will kill you without you knowing how, and wait to be rezzed just to die again, only to be left with a screen that taunts with how little damage or experience they get with no clear progression system or goals (since cards are all cosmetic unlocks). The skins are limited by the rendering engine and art direction, plus way too expensive for someone who only plays casually. Playing solo is fun but at that point single player games also exist. To be clear I don't think people are leaving Apex because they don't like Apex. Every year there is more competition in the multiplayer space, there's a new flavor of the month game that their favorite creators are sponsored by or trying out for fun. I really want to try XDefiant but I also haven't convinced myself to download the ubisoft launcher yet. People also want to play games with their friends and it's easier to play a new game where everyone has the same knowledge level, instead of the one friend who is too good or the enemy teams who have 1500 hours already. I think if Apex wants to build player trust and interest again, they would need to make an "Apex Legends 2" level update. Recreate the experience on a more modern engine with improved base shaders. Source was great, but its age is showing. The high level of server vulnerabilities, pretty outdated audio system, and notoriously eating up processing power even at low settings. Most of the people who built the original back-end for Apex aren't even at Respawn anymore, which makes retroactive fixes a lot harder. Plus, EA needs to incentivize players with something other than $200 skins because the only people who have those are the sweats so it's not even fun to see them.

As a casual player, I've been playing No Man's Sky a lot. Still I've been playing Apex a lot still, i just love open world games. I am grinding in apex to be more competitive because I just want to get better at Apex. I hope Apex thrives because Apex is still fun.

[@iGnashtys]

This whole video was a clever way of saying yo I’m burnt out of apex and want to be a variety creator 😂nicely done best way I’ve seen someone introduce the second channel this video was like a sample of the second channel

[@fzz6716]

I've quit Apex for a while. Just had a small break and suddenly came back only to be shocked by the negative reviews. I started playing the finals which is less sweaty and fun.

[@Snorlaxking15]

I have a bonner

[@OdiOneKenobi]

The level qurve for average player became so high right now that it is actually fun for me to play because I'm that bad that its actually halarious to me to watch myself

Hi Kandryrew. I am a casual player for Apex. I played since day 1. I play Apex whenever I feel i wanted some battle royals experience. But whenever I played, the opponent seems to be strong and the FOMO of getting good items before last circle was very painful. One thing about Apex also it feels that the DEV are being greedy. As a skin collector ( also in other games ) I cannot enjoy their battlepass system. I cannot enjoy their event skins. Sometimes as and adult we dont have so much times to play. So whenever I jump into Apex. It will become looting simulator. Looting and die. I know its skill issues but can we casual player have some good moment? Just compare with the finals your teams can revive u instantly and the pace is very good but they lack in characters personalities. After I realized that i loot and die every f time. I quit and this game its not for me. But I had a great time.

Used to play a LOT especially during the pandemic but playtime drastically decreased when I got back to work. I still play sometimes but its so hard to keep up with active players lol . The time I have to play is not enough to even warm-up my mid aim TTuTT I've been chilling on Minecraft tho

[@aen2767]

I wanted to play apex so bad but the problem is that I live in a third world country, meaning I have to join servers that are outside of my usual region, for example the game puts me in Singapore as its the closest asian server to me and then I wait 45-55 mins to start a match only to get rekt and repeat the process. Ik i can change servers but then Id have bad ping. This happens a lot in titanfall 2 as well as Apex

[@doo2498]

I may take some big breaks but i always come crawling back to overwatch

[@Someperson-h8d]

I’m sure if they gave an event that actually gave you a chance at free heirloom but with difficult challenges that not everyone can do player count would skyrocket like a challenge like -get 100 kills(2wk event hard for some) Get 25 finshers Do 50k damage

[@Someperson-h8d]

Idk something like that

[@phant0mdummy]

I uninstalled. The "we are listening" is the most irritating thing. It just means "We knew you would revolt, and we planned around it and we are taking the W we were after". Clearly they wanted to initiate a season split, so they added in something we would obviously chase down. A red herring. (not allowing recycling coins.) Now we think we 'won', but they got the season split - stay tuned for what further nefarious plans they have. (likely just monetization, and the ability to shoehorn more and more skin events into the game.)

[@toxit4428]

i be real the reason i quite apex for is, i came back from holidays, after like a month of break (i was peak dia before) me and my friends were matchmaked against a 3stack of preds with 20k plus kills... those lobbies are unbearable

[@edwardchester1]

Fortnite no build is what you want. Been a revelation playing that game, though admitedly the key thing for me is the solo queue experience. For one, it has solos! But also the solos queue is such chill/fun vibes with matchmaking that feels much more sensible than Apex. The lower TTK means controller AA isn't so dominant too.

[@JocolitoPlays]

If people are quitting Apex because it is too sweaty and very hard to solo queue, don't even think to start playing Sea of Thieves. Believe me, that game is probably more sweaty and actually harder to solo queue... At least it was in its prime days.

[@Cabowse]

My group stopped playing Apex a while back, tried a few things like Hunt showdown and Overwatch. I'm really optimistic about the new Bungie game Marathon, the extraction shooters are a lot of fun and offer something a bit more rewarding than the Battle Royale. I loved my time playing Apex overall but it was a slog towards the end, and once friends stop playing it's hard to go back to playing solo.

[@DaeDaeOTF]

Apex needs to make it like valorant where if you don’t have a full team you can’t ready up or start a match. Because the amount of games of me being alone or with 1 teammate versus a 3 v 2 or 3 v 1 is insane and impossible nowadays 🤦

[@SylarPC]

I'm surprised PUBG wasn't mentioned. PUBG has doubled its playercount during that time apex has halved its players count.

[@HoraryCosine]

idk one of the reasons for me was the fact i was fighting former or current pred/masters in pubs/mix tape (ive only ever got to silver) and my kd has stayed around 0.95 so its just feels like im being punished for every time i play.

[@onemanjam519]

I was always way more into plat fighters (melee specifically) apex was super fun but i felt a general shift in terms of sweatyness which isn't a bad thing but it just got boring to be a bad player. I ended up going back to melee where being a bad player doesn't feel too bad and i can see improvement rather than thinking i'm getting better only to die on drop

[@Taterisstig]

I love apex and will regularly try to play the game but the reason why I started to play less is simply the server connection I recently bought a house, got my internet set up and the main server I played on I went from 30-40ms ping to 60-100ms ping. I have tried everything to try and fix it, and then I played valorant and noticed my ping was 35ms. I then went to test every other game I normally play, it was no problem but apex I have horrible stuttering, lag, ect. It sucks because the game just feels bad and when its only Apex, its clearly something wrong with the game Apex is still a love of mine, but I just dont want to spend the little precious time I have to game trying to be IT Network Admin

[@jkymky]

Before the start of the year I played every single season except from season 1 and 2 (played preseason tho) and got more than 2k hours at this point. This year is different tho, as i simply havent played the last 3 seasons. EA is imo only looking for money, trough introducing another ingame currency etc. and doesnt care about really providing a good game with a proper ranked mode etc. EA has to change immensely id say to get apex back to it beeing as hyped and good as it once was...

[@thermalrain_yt9725]

The players voting in your polls are hardcore apex players. Most of us quit a long time ago. Last time i played a whole season was season 6

[@grannyswatchingu7060]

I don't know who your playing with, could I get his channel so I can see his channel. I really enjoyed your view of other games. I think you feel safe in Apex as you know it so well. And watching you guys play Minecraft was hilarious, my take, I think you make any game interesting and fun.
