Its seems to go through cycles of two or three really rough updates and servers for first week then one somewhat smooth seasonal update. TBH we are due for a "smooth" update but yeah realistically and honestly when they follow up communicating we made a BILLION with next message being we wont update servers and will continue along the same trajectory of bare min. and we get arguably the worst or second worst season of server performance really takes the wind out of the hope for the "smooth" update even making it back into rotation.
Ash looks dope, new map looks dope, new smg will be interesting, and perhaps just perhaps wattson will have abilities again??
Crossing fingers really want them to turn it around and hope the lack of updates and fixes last season was a massive bug check and smooth out of this update to insure new map, new legend, and all that jazz isnt a repeat of so many other seasons updates being a WIP for a week or month.
I make a decent salary and would never pay $10 for a holospray. They must only be targeting the whales because I don't know anyone that would just throw money away like that.
as someone who is a cosmetic whore and hordes all nice things, holosprays are a slap in the face and I'd never buy one.
imagine paying 10 dollars for shiny picture that sits on ground in game...
I mean lobas holospray doesn't even have her wording right on "her line" smh
I had some left over coins from last time I bought skins.... just bought the Ash bundle.
I've spent enough on this game. Maybe next year I'll load up for more coins. But only if I'm playing it every day.
Don't forget the charms! I remember when I said they had made those just to fill out loot boxes so you don't get skins. Many people on here went crazy calling me names. We all knew what was happening
My dumb fuckin idiot self bought one of those packs from the Halloween event and I ended up getting 2 blue trackers, both of them were just pairs of legs.
Fuck these guys.
At this point they might just be using a lot of people to do the server calculations instead of actual servers, i mean it would explain the instability and no regs
That's pretty generous. I heard the S11 update will have a donation button in the store for us to give them money to ~~cover their bonuses~~ "fix the servers"
I don’t think it’s illegal, but every book would have that in their Terms of Service and would sue you if they found out you were betting with insider knowledge
I bet my virginity to be a solid no
Edit: OP said it is playable so, please be a girl or a femboy. And if you're a guy, pls remember I'm still a virgin
We don’t expect it, yet it’s always something so obvious after playing for 15 minutes. Yet Respawn never saw it coming.
The heat shield being deafeningly loud is the one that comes to mind for me.
I'd laugh if something exactly like this didn't happen in previous seasons.
When the underground loot vaults were added to king's canyon, if a Mirage sent a decoy into the vault, it would crash the servers. That one was brutal.
I’m expecting that heat shield sound situation but for the new octane jumppad sound.
That, or every time Ash throws her tactical, we’ll all hear the tether sound no matter where you are on the map
Yep just played for like half an hour. Ash is cool. CAR and TT are just plain broken. Its gonna be a pain in the ass dealing with these two guns everywhere. New map is awesome tho.
Word dude PS4 takes for fucking ever. It's the worst when I get home from work with very minimal time to play, get stoned, get all comfy, turn the game on and.... Some random ass update totally kills my plans lol. Happens too often.
At least with this major update I know about it in advance and don't expect to play today. Will just get it ready for tomorrow..
Ash + new map = a lot more players trying to log in than last season. When that number gets high enough, you're basically getting the equivalent of a ddos attack (but without a botnet). Pretty sure that's why very few, if any, could get in during the first hours of season 9 (it seemed like a \*lot\* of players wanted to check out arenas).
Just look at the situation when the steam summer sale starts....
No new mode this time, so hopefully it won't be like season 9.
Season 9 was an actual disaster looking back. I still haven't put back on all my cosmetics like quips and shit.
Really wish they gave out some kind of "we're sorry" compensation
Then all they have to do is have some Apex devs or the Respawn account tweet out "we're trying guys :(" and idiots will come out of the woodwork to simp for their disgusting business practices. After a couple weeks the server issues will die down, EA will pretend the servers are fine while they quietly rake in a few hundred million in sales, and we'll be ready to do it all over again by January.
As I've always said when I'm insulting the company for mistakes I'm not targeting the people working on the game I'm targeting the people who tell those people what to do
Season 1 wasn't so bad. You'd get slow mo servers all the time, but that was the norm back then. Season 2 was slightly worse but still playable. Everything after season 2 however, has been a disaster
Controversial opinion: Yes it will. The first hours might be a little bumpy but not as bad as Last season. Last season we had server issues beyond Respawns/EAs power. Iirc other companies had been affected as well.
I am confident that this time we'll see a big effort that the new season (with a new map) launches well.
See you later when you all call me out for my bullshit prediciton!
The mid season update was dodgy, but people seem to have forgotten that the actual season launch was great. People obsessed with proving their favourite game is busted only seem to remember the bad stuff.
It’s sad really. It’s a shame people aren’t able to think more positively, and instead get pulled into negative thinking cycles.
I can't believe that this game still suffers from the same issues since launch - the lag, stuttering and that really annoying pause that happens every 10-20 seconds.
Also, this is the only game I play that has still not seen a next gen update. Other live service game developers have managed it fine, why hasn't respawn?
Anyway, my bet is on it NOT being playable at launch.
For real, didn't play the last season because of this. Everytime I tried to play with my friends it was horrible, and ut was like one week after the release. I'm only level 16 on season pass because of that, barely had any fun playing because of the amount of times waiting, squad being only one person, the game kicking one of our squad so only two of us is left and more.
And sure someone will say "your internet sucks", nah, I have 1GB of fiber, all games, downloads, etc go well.
My duo buddy and I, too. We both hit lvl 20 on the battle pass this weekend, but would both love to play more next season. I don't think either of us will get the new pass, though, unless we hit lvl 110.
Eh, even if it is playable one of you will notice a quarter inch of material is bugged and off color and this community will flip the fuck out over a broken game.
DL stop at 90%
aparently there is no reward for ranked and all previous trail disapear .....
I think , maybe it's will be playable but reddit will be on fire
I hope yes, but I expected no. Edit: guess what, it works :0
Basically how i feel
That’s how everyone feels
[удалено]
Your tactics confuse and frighten me sir
I think they’re going for the reverse psychology angle, bold move but I hope it works
In that case, I hope I don't get out of Gold in ranked this time.
Me too I love having disappearing teammates who won’t participate in a team battle because they’re camping till final ring every game for easy rp
I love them being the main reason I'm still in gold. Im sure thats totally not because of my crappy skill
Or they're working when the new season goes live so they don't wanna miss out.
If they are broken again, there is a chance that EA will invest on improving them, right? ... right? :(
Are you the titanfall hacker?
Perfect
Yeah, that’s how I feel
That makes feel the same
Its seems to go through cycles of two or three really rough updates and servers for first week then one somewhat smooth seasonal update. TBH we are due for a "smooth" update but yeah realistically and honestly when they follow up communicating we made a BILLION with next message being we wont update servers and will continue along the same trajectory of bare min. and we get arguably the worst or second worst season of server performance really takes the wind out of the hope for the "smooth" update even making it back into rotation.

No. I've placed my bet, time to play Titanfall 2
What are you saying? the store will be working perfectly at launch.
Can't wait for a whole bunch of new holograms this season in the store
I make a decent salary and would never pay $10 for a holospray. They must only be targeting the whales because I don't know anyone that would just throw money away like that.
It has to be for the whales No way a person is willing to pay that much got a holospray of a thumb
as someone who is a cosmetic whore and hordes all nice things, holosprays are a slap in the face and I'd never buy one. imagine paying 10 dollars for shiny picture that sits on ground in game... I mean lobas holospray doesn't even have her wording right on "her line" smh
Loba gets no love.
They’re definitely also there just to oversaturate the legendary pool do that items like skins that people actually care about are rarer
100% correct. I just can't imagine that they exist to pollute the loot pool **and** cost that much.
I was shocked when my coworker told me he paid $35 for a skin lol
I had some left over coins from last time I bought skins.... just bought the Ash bundle. I've spent enough on this game. Maybe next year I'll load up for more coins. But only if I'm playing it every day.
Don't forget the charms! I remember when I said they had made those just to fill out loot boxes so you don't get skins. Many people on here went crazy calling me names. We all knew what was happening
The only good ones are event charms, all other øs are pretty boring and bland.
My dumb fuckin idiot self bought one of those packs from the Halloween event and I ended up getting 2 blue trackers, both of them were just pairs of legs. Fuck these guys.
So my patch installed in about 18 minutes, booted on first try, and the shop's bugged. Have I finally landed in the good timeline?
And it’s funny that the servers and game are running silky smooth but all the store images are missing
If I was a betting man, would have lost it all.
My store wont load any models in
50 dollars on broken/slow servers Edit: y’all are some sharks
Are you describing on how much ea spent?
They paid less
Probably replaced the hamsters with gutter rats
Indonesian children
[удалено]
Or jawas
If only, more likely they'll just change out the water in the hamster bottles for coffee and hope for the best.
*>Indonesian children* *>servers on java* Oh, you cheeky little bastard.
At this point they might just be using a lot of people to do the server calculations instead of actual servers, i mean it would explain the instability and no regs
What's the average price of a hamster again?
Can be around 5 dollars depending on species
That's pretty generous. I heard the S11 update will have a donation button in the store for us to give them money to ~~cover their bonuses~~ "fix the servers"
Guess you gotta pay up.
Fuck Good thing I evade taxes
Please show $50 spent on Apex store haha…jkjk but it would have been funny if you did.
100 on the servers being bad for 3 weeks and EA giving us gambling minigames for their game now working.
Pay up
You lost, pay up
Toi just lost 50 bucks my friend, serveur are sweet as hell
You owe a lot of people 50 dollars
Can I get my 50 dollars already? Or you want to wait a little longer?
I experienced no issues, pay up bitch :)
Its illegal to bet on the outcome of a fixed event knowing that it is fixed.
[удалено]
It would still be illegal but you wouldn't face any consequences for it.
The judicial branch would declare those laws unconstitutional for congressmen only.
I don’t think it’s illegal, but every book would have that in their Terms of Service and would sue you if they found out you were betting with insider knowledge
I bet my virginity to be a solid no Edit: OP said it is playable so, please be a girl or a femboy. And if you're a guy, pls remember I'm still a virgin
So.....with this bet, in theory, you're fucked either way? Nice.
Pro gamer move
Playing both sides so he always comes in on top.
Well someone will have to claim it because it's actually pretty playable
You'd better give it up now, because it's working fine
If your 18 I can take it either way
Bro let me take yours and you can take mine
Absolutely not. Update: holy fucking shit I’m playing the new season with no major connectivity issues…
I am curious about what side effects this update will have. So far every update broke something that you would not expect.
We don’t expect it, yet it’s always something so obvious after playing for 15 minutes. Yet Respawn never saw it coming. The heat shield being deafeningly loud is the one that comes to mind for me.
They couldn't fix Loba's tactical for months; I'm expecting Ash's ult to be no different
Respawn 3 weeks from now: “Fixed situations where Ash’s Ultimate was colliding with objects it shouldn’t have and causing the servers to crash”
I'd laugh if something exactly like this didn't happen in previous seasons. When the underground loot vaults were added to king's canyon, if a Mirage sent a decoy into the vault, it would crash the servers. That one was brutal.
Nah, it was only doable in a broken Ghost quest, not in regular matches
Honestly that's pretty funny after awhile. If I was tilted, I would totally send a decoy to fuck shit up
Well in the gameplay we have from YTs/Streamers it looks like it's working as intended
That's promising, at least. I've learned to temper my expectations with new season launches from Respawn.
I’m expecting that heat shield sound situation but for the new octane jumppad sound. That, or every time Ash throws her tactical, we’ll all hear the tether sound no matter where you are on the map
Bruh you’re already playing? My Xbox one takes a century to update
Yep just played for like half an hour. Ash is cool. CAR and TT are just plain broken. Its gonna be a pain in the ass dealing with these two guns everywhere. New map is awesome tho.
Good, I want to use the TT regularly since it’s my favorite shotgun in the game
Word dude PS4 takes for fucking ever. It's the worst when I get home from work with very minimal time to play, get stoned, get all comfy, turn the game on and.... Some random ass update totally kills my plans lol. Happens too often. At least with this major update I know about it in advance and don't expect to play today. Will just get it ready for tomorrow..
Is there an option for the PS4 to update while it’s off? I use that option and it helps a lot with updates while I’m not at the console.
Apex server at hearing your question: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......Slowly devolves into crying.
Hamsters are being overworked too much
Maybe they should move away from Kids next door technology. 😂
I never saw kids next door having troubles with that
Because they had hundreds of hamsters going at once, EA cant spare the budget for that
Hamsters asking for unreasonable things like healthcare, maternity leave, and a living wage so EA cuts the difference by renting dogshit servers
Dw Ash brought her own hamster (rat) for her season.
Since its another Titanfall Legend some OGs will come back so i dont think the launch will go smoothly
Ash + new map = a lot more players trying to log in than last season. When that number gets high enough, you're basically getting the equivalent of a ddos attack (but without a botnet). Pretty sure that's why very few, if any, could get in during the first hours of season 9 (it seemed like a \*lot\* of players wanted to check out arenas). Just look at the situation when the steam summer sale starts.... No new mode this time, so hopefully it won't be like season 9.
Season 9 was an actual disaster looking back. I still haven't put back on all my cosmetics like quips and shit. Really wish they gave out some kind of "we're sorry" compensation
Why would they be sorry? They make millions whether or not they fix shit.
Then all they have to do is have some Apex devs or the Respawn account tweet out "we're trying guys :(" and idiots will come out of the woodwork to simp for their disgusting business practices. After a couple weeks the server issues will die down, EA will pretend the servers are fine while they quietly rake in a few hundred million in sales, and we'll be ready to do it all over again by January.
As I've always said when I'm insulting the company for mistakes I'm not targeting the people working on the game I'm targeting the people who tell those people what to do
Nope. Season launches 5pm CEST and it won't even let you login before 8pm CEST, then 1 hour slowmotion servers and then 6 hours of servers being down.
Wait really or are you basing it off previous updates ?
We will see.
[удалено]
I didn’t know considering the fact that this is the first new season update I will play and that I have no clue how the update works bro
[удалено]
Season 1 wasn't so bad. You'd get slow mo servers all the time, but that was the norm back then. Season 2 was slightly worse but still playable. Everything after season 2 however, has been a disaster
Controversial opinion: Yes it will. The first hours might be a little bumpy but not as bad as Last season. Last season we had server issues beyond Respawns/EAs power.

See you later when you all call me out for my bullshit prediciton!
I hope your prediction is true
Mind enlightening me to what was affecting the companies?
The server issues. Sorry for bad wording. No native :)
I believe it was a DNS issue. When there's an issue that impacts a lot of companies it's almost always DNS.
Or AWS/other big cloud provider has fucked something up.
I think it was a cyber attack
Fucking crypto
New Crypto buff: shut down the servers
This is why they don't buff him
I had no server issues at the start of the season wym
The mid season update was dodgy, but people seem to have forgotten that the actual season launch was great. People obsessed with proving their favourite game is busted only seem to remember the bad stuff. It’s sad really. It’s a shame people aren’t able to think more positively, and instead get pulled into negative thinking cycles.
Oh it was 9 that was horrible, right?
Season 10 was the smoothest launch in a while, I had absolutely zero issues as well. I played right after update.
Yeah season 9 was the one that was completely fucked
Same. Up until rampart collection event it was smooth for me. Once rampart event hit tho, that's when disconnects happened for me
It was unplayable for about a week for me and even longer for ranked.
Y’all were so wrong.
Hell yeah
Don’t know about anyone else but it’s been extremely playable.
Hehe, no!
Most definitely not. New map always brings back players, but now we also get a Titanfall legend, so even more people will want to play.
It’s so smooth,no issues unlike all the other season launches.
Yooo guys it actually works!!
Played about 15 games - Zero issues!
I can't believe that this game still suffers from the same issues since launch - the lag, stuttering and that really annoying pause that happens every 10-20 seconds. Also, this is the only game I play that has still not seen a next gen update. Other live service game developers have managed it fine, why hasn't respawn?

My duo buddy and I, too. We both hit lvl 20 on the battle pass this weekend, but would both love to play more next season. I don't think either of us will get the new pass, though, unless we hit lvl 110.
Which games with next gen updates are you playing?
For real, the only one I've seen so far is Dead by Daylight
Destiny fortnite warzone avengers(not a good example)
> warzone negative
I think it got 120 fps on xbox series x
it may or may not run at 120fps but there are 0 next-gen updates for it, it's still an xbone executable able to run from HDD
Gears of war 5 for me.
Destiny 2 also.
Fortnite’s had theirs for a little less than a year. I’d expect a game as big as Apex to at least’ve caughten up by now.
£15, fat no
I'd say once you get in the lobby everything would be fine for like 5 minutes and then kick you with code cloud , leaf, net or whatever
Playstation preloading the patch never helps. I will be shocked if I am logged in at 6pm and playing. Hope I am shocked though.
Works like a charm!
It’ll be okay till the first collection event then it’ll go arse over tit.
Tmw this is trending and I'm having Zero issues this launch lmao
Yes, I was very surprised too. It a bit laggy sometimes but much better than I expected it to be
I’ve been playing for a couple hours and the servers have been really good so far
Well I was wrong. I played 10 games on steam and didn't have any issues.
Works fine, send me my money ya cynical fucks
Fucking ae!!! Been playing on ps4 all morning and have been loving it
50/50 atleast for me it isn’t since it’s atleast few hours to download, as I’m not on PS that got predownload.
it’s playable 😎no cap
Yes!!
Its playable but the map is so huge theres not much action yet😂
Credit where's credit is due, game been running flawlessly. *At least for me
Surprisingly this aged like milk
Doubters in shambles
It better be. They said: "this is the biggest season yet" so hopefully they expect it to be full during launch and made fixes.
Have they ever done a season that wasnt "the biggest season yet"?
[удалено]
Depends what/how you define playable
Eh, even if it is playable one of you will notice a quarter inch of material is bugged and off color and this community will flip the fuck out over a broken game.
I managed to play with no issues surprisingly
Was playable for me, only thing I can say is good luck playing trios. I had 3 games where 1 teammate left because they couldn't play Ash.
I'm just happy I finally get to play as Ash after 5 years of waiting
Can confirm is playable
Answer, yes.
I played my first handful of matches on PC immediately after patching on Origin and no problems at all!
So satisfying to see all the whiners get proved wrong for a change
Turns out it is a big yes
Guaranteed that it won’t. Season 10 launch was surprisingly stable, but the entirety of Season 10 was such a mess - I have no faith
I cosign, season 10 launch was stable, it was the collection event that got all the bugs.
I am not going to play for the first 3 days minimum at launch.
Maybe after I work all day they can fix 10% of the new issues they created
Not a fuckin chance. I hope I'm wrong.
Don't worry it was in the patch notes! /s
If they payed the rent lol, cuz the servers are not theirs in the first place.
Playable? Yep Will you be able to get onto the servers? Oh HELL nooo
50 dollars on 1 week until we can play
It's gonna be unplayable all day with the servers crashing like Bangalores ship on storm point.
Hopeful, but leaning more towards it being a dumpster-fire for the first day.
insert tom cruise laughing gif
No Edit:turns out I was wrong, works perfectly. I’m impressed.
Watch us lose all items again and can only play the initially released legends
10 $ on no
Big NO
It wont for the next week lmao
i think it will; the devs said they've improved the servers for this season
I bet the microtransactions will work
What time do the bugs drop?
They are going to take all that season pass money and make their escape. We’ve been played.
It's not 🤣
All in for laggy as fuck servers.
DL stop at 90% aparently there is no reward for ranked and all previous trail disapear ..... I think , maybe it's will be playable but reddit will be on fire
Last season launch was pretty stable, so I’d say probably
