Apex Legends devs respond to backlash from pros over state of ranked Respawn EntertainmentA number of Apex Legends developers have taken to Twitter to respond to complaints from the community and pros over the poor state of ranked play. There\u2019s no denying that every single online FPS title in the genre suffers from cheaters and DDoSers. However, it\u2019s only when these hackers begin to make an appearance in the majority of games that a community begins to raise its voice. Well, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happened in Apex Legends, with pros and casuals alike complaining about the abundance of players using third-party software in their games. Whether it\u2019s DDoS attacks that crash the matches or infinite laser beams that lock onto players from across the map, they\u2019re all incredibly frustrating for players to experience. Now, after various pros have openly complained and #SaveApexRanked has been created on Twitter, a set of devs have responded to the community\u2019s criticism and addressed the state of ranked. Apex Legends devs respond to backlash over state of ranked Apex Legends pro player NRG sweet began the Twitter discussion over the state of ranked on June 28 with a Twitlonger and the use of #SaveApexRanked. In his tweet, sweet details his frustration with ranked play and the abundance of cheaters that make it almost impossible to win a game at certain times of the day. On top of this, he voices that the community will no longer be satisfied with promises from Respawn and encourages them to speak with their actions. As expected, it didn\u2019t take Apex\u2019s director of communication, Ryan R. Rigney, long to respond. The Respawn employee acknowledged that sweet had raised a lot of valid complaints, but did argue that making out that the devs were attempting to trick the player base was unproductive. \u201cThere are very valid complaints in here, we\u2019ve gotta crack down on cheating and make real progress\u2026 Idk why you\u2019d reframe an effort to communicate as an attempt to fool players. Unproductive\u201d. https:\/\/twitter.com\/RKRigney\/status\/1409608753012301831 Apex Legends game designer, Brian Vidoc, also responded to the hashtag on Twitter, praising the community for their passion over the issues facing ranked. However, the employee emphasized how difficult the cheating problem is to resolve and asked the player base to be patient with the devs. \u201cThis #SaveApexRanked discourse really tells me one thing, people care so much about Apex\u2026 I get the frustration BUT game development is insanely difficult, it is nonsense any games ever get finished, but I get it, please be patient, we\u2019ll fix it, we always do.\u201d This #SaveApexRanked discourse really tells me one thing: People care so, so much about Apex. You could quit, but no: folks organized to make sure they are heard. They rally. The game has been such a huge part of all of our lives. I really do get it. Such passion! 1\/3 \u2014 Brian Vidovic (@BrianOnTheRocks) June 29, 2021 Again, I get the frustration. BUT! Game development is insanely difficult. It is nonsense any games ever get finished TBH. But I get it. Please be patient. We’ll fix it. We always do. \u2014 Brian Vidovic (@BrianOnTheRocks) June 29, 2021 Although none of the devs revealed any more information about the actions being taken towards fixing Apex ranked, it\u2019s obvious they\u2019re doing everything they can to resolve the issue. The community\u2019s decision to rally behind #SaveApexRanked has only emphasized how important the game is to a lot of players, and the devs can clearly see that. Let\u2019s hope over the coming months, Respawn can make some serious progress and crackdown on players using third-party software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
