It's a good thing that none of those event skins look appealing to me! And heirlooms are proving to be absolute garbo.I love love love the game but holy moly is the micro transaction approach here extremely gross in this event. A £135 / $170 fee for a cosmetic is up there with some of the worst mtx examples in some time.
I'll just grind out my two free boxes and hope that I get what I want. Here I was ready to drop actual cash on the Gibby skin and they go and fuck it up.
I just fundamentally don't understand the whale chasing business model. I assume someone's done the research at some point, but I just can't see how exclusively targeting people willing to drop hundreds is more profitable than having reasonable prices for which most of the players are potential customers.
They will likely find they overtuned it. Remains to be seen if any of this will eitherI just fundamentally don't understand the whale chasing business model.

Hittting max level a long time ago and totally drying the dripfeed of apex packs does not entice me to get packs, it makes me less likely to bother at all.
Especially when this just seems to irritate and cause backlash each time.
Like, they just dropped the big Solos update. And everywhere I look the discussion is solely on how grimy the monetization is instead. Solid work.
This is exactly how it went for me. The huge gap from my last pack of S1 to the freebies in S2 made me forget they were even a thing. And now I don't care about any cosmetics at all.
You just get 30 crowns total from the Event Challenges, lol. No way, dude.

Yeah I think Kings Canyon is just too cluttered for solos. In Blackout or PUBG you can sort of hold a perimeter even when on the move. Here there are so many nooks and crannies every 5 feet that you just have to hope no one's there far more than I'd like. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I still think solos are healthy for the game and duos are a must.As always it was never going to work. No idea why people asked so much. Arena death matches with maybe limited rotating legends sure that could work. All out br mode as solos in apex, no way. If anything they should put resources on a second map that allows quads and triples. A squad of four with a few more legends released will open up a lot of possibilities with legend combos.
Even in the other games you mentioned solos is the least played as well. Even in games when it works it's the least populated. I think it's a good option when it makes sense.

So like every event theyve done post launch?This event took quite the turn. Everyone was so hyped about the event until the moment it went live. Utterly gutted the momentum. Good job Respawn.
what a weird flex lolSome dude on my team just cycled through all the event skins at the legend select screen. People are really willing to pay out the ass for these cosmetics 😂

Actually this is a somewhat scummy thing they do. They show off the potential skins you're missing out on, even if the person selecting the character doesn't have them. It's been like this since the beginning. I only know this because I play with a very consistent group and always see their picks flash by with skins they definitely don't have.Some dude on my team just cycled through all the event skins at the legend select screen.

I thought the same thing lool
Ngl, he was actually a beast and we won the match
