I know you won’t comment on specifics, but there are a lot of great QOL ideas as well as needed bug fixes here that we hope you are aware of 👍🏻

Oh yeah, I love that post. Awesome to see you folks put clean lists like this together and use upvoting that helps us understand what priorities are from players POV. Team is well aware of this. Thanks to everyone for putting it together and sharing.

Any plans for another bonus XP event or challenges before Season 2?

Challenges no. Another bonus XP event is definitely possible.

Are you planning on making any changes to the existing colorblind modes, both in terms of the existing colors, and how they apply to in-game elements?

What specifically would you like to see for changes?

Hey all, Drew and I will be sticking around for next hour or so to answer questions that we can [as of posting this at 10:35am PDT today]

To say that the launch of Apex Legends exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. 50 million players the first month (and growing) is staggering for any studio, let alone a new IP from a relatively small team who, for many, were taking their first swing at a free-to-play game.

Rapid growth is a wonderful thing to achieve, and we’re thrilled with the response we’ve received since launch. However, that growth comes with some clear challenges, and we’ve hit a few bumps along the way, including missteps with our updates, not giving players enough visibility into future content, and properly setting expectations on how we plan to support Apex Legends.

We are 100% committed to the long-term growth of Apex Legends, and supporting the millions playing every day. So today we want to reset our commitment to you and give you some insight into w...

Hey folks, I don't have ETA but we're aware and working on a fix internally that we're testing.

Thanks guys. Noted and looking into it.

Sorry for the issue, guys. We've flagged this for QA to take a look at. Any folks seeing this on Xbox and PC as well?

Before we get to the notes, we know there are some ongoing issues that have been frustrating you folks that didn’t make it into this patch. We are actively working on many improvements and we’re aware of the reports around audio issues, slow mo servers, hit registration, and more. I’ll provide more info when I can but know that we hear you folks and working hard to address this stuff. For 1.1.1 we’re introducing some balance adjustments for Legends and weapons, check out designer notes and info below:

Hey All,

Leeeeeee-RSPN here with RespawnSean, Jayfresh_Respawn & Scriptacus to give a quick update on live balance for Legends and weapons.

LEGEND BALANCING

https://i.redd.it/ywyv0v46cns21.png

At the start of Season 1, we previously talked about how our beloved Thicc Bois (Pathfinder, Gibraltar and Caustic) were getting crushed due to their hitbox size compared to other Legends. We first wanted to try adjusting hitboxes to better fit the model. For Pathfinder, this change wo...

Behold, our latest innovation in live service balancing buffs for Gibraltar and Caustic! Seriously though, it's pretty incredible the stuff you folks come up with. This is hilarious and very creative!

So good! How tall is it and how long did it take you? And I want one.

I think a lot of the uproar around the BP XP bug was due to an underlying concern about disconnects. Players should be given more incentives to stay in the game while they can be revived/respawned, not less.

I understand this was a bug, but is the Dev team working on anything to address the abandoning games issue elsewhere?

That's a different thing than the % display being wrong. We're aware of the feedback around the players not getting survival XP when going down early. That's not the intended design and we'll address and give more info when I have more details. We're on it.

That is so rad. Great work!

Hey everyone, quick update today on a couple things that I can speak to:

REPORTING ON PS4

We are temporarily turning off player reporting on PS4. We need to do some dev work on it to comply better with how this information is provided to Sony and we’re working with them on the improvements. This is an important feature that we want to bring back and will turn it back on once we’ve done the necessary work.

BATTLE PASS XP BOOST FOR LEVEL 12 BADGE SHOWING WRONG %

After some investigating from our awesome QA folks, we were able to confirm that this a bug with the UI and even though you may see the percentage change, you are still getting the 2.5% XP boost. We’ll fix the UI in a future update but you can rest assured that you are getting the XP.

We're on it.

Bugged! Thanks for capturing the video to show it.

So internally, we have been working on and testing this feature but it wasn't our intention or plan to have it go live with the update that went out today. There was a piece of script that was missing and caused the leaving match early penalty to be turned on when it shouldn't be. That's why it wasn't in the patch notes.

We updated the script, tested with QA and it's now disabled for all platforms. We don't have an ETA for if or when this would come out for real. Apologies for the confusion.

When we can expect some changes?

Yep. Patch notes are here: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/b90snf/11_patch_notes/

Do we need to download anything again or can we just start playing?

Thanks for the fix! Mistakes happen, we still cool my guys.

If you haven't downloaded the new patch that went live today you'll need to update. Thanks!

WHAT HAPPENED?

When the 1.1 update went live, players were unintentionally moved to the wrong servers that didn't have their persistence and this caused players accounts to appear reset with all progression lost.

WHAT DID WE DO TO FIX IT?

Fortunately, your progress up until the update was still safe and sound. We shut down all live servers so we could remove players from the wrong place and roll up the correct servers with your progress. Once we confirmed internally that we had fixed the issue we started rolling out the right servers starting with Xbox and staggered the updates to PS4 and PC.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR PROGRESS?

Everything you've accomplished and bought in Apex up until the 1.1 Patch that went live at 10:00 PST today should be restored.

• Any in-game purchases and progress acquired during the time between 1.1 going live and the fix will be reverted - levels earned, items unlocked, packs opened, and spent currency. If you continued to play and didn't patch then thi...
