Apex Legends pro ImperialHal calls on devs to fix \u201cbig problem\u201d with DDoS attacks Respawn Entertainment\/Twitter: ImperialHalAfter being forced to leave multiple matches, Apex Legends pro Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has called on Respawn to prevent DDoS attacks at high ranks. Like many competitive FPS titles, Respawn is constantly attempting to combat cheaters who are using third-party software to gain an advantage over other players. While Apex doesn\u2019t suffer from as many hackers as Warzone, it\u2019s DDoSers at high ranks that are causing significant issues for the devs. Despite threatening legal action and promising to clamp down on those disturbing the game\u2019s servers, the problem persists. It\u2019s got to the point where pros are calling ranked unplayable at certain times of the day, as shown by Apex pro ImperialHal, who was DDoSed seven matches in a row. ImperialHal is getting DDoSed nonstop in Apex Ranked Taking to Twitter on October 5, Hal showcased how a DDoS attack effectively ends the match and forces him to leave. This not only means he receives a penalty, but he also loses the maximum amount of RP. As highlighted in the video, the servers become so slow that they don\u2019t register movement and freeze the victim in one spot. Describing the DDoSing issue in ranked as a \u201cbig problem\u201d, Hal directly tagged the Apex Twitter account to show how bad the situation is getting. Getting ddosed so hard to the point where i cant even throw nades to leave the game or move. Practically forcing me to take a penalty plus -120. This is a BIG problem @PlayApex pic.twitter.com\/FfCR3xGU68 \u2014 ImperialHal (@ImperialHal) October 5, 2021 If this occurred in a single match, it\u2019d be inconvenient but it certainly wouldn\u2019t be the end of the world. However, according to Hal, these attacks have been happening nonstop on October 5, making it impossible to play the game. turns out im getting stream snipe ddosed almost every game by a single individual \ud83d\ude42 very fun \u2014 TSMFTX ImperialHal (@ImperialHal) October 5, 2021 Hal wasn\u2019t the only pro to comment on the issue, with Tanner \u2018Rogue\u2019 Trebb tweeting \u201c#SaveApexRanked\u201d and asking Hal how bad his situation was. In response, Hal revealed that he\u2019d been DDoSed seven games in a row, suggesting that he\u2019s being directly targeted by the attacker. At high ranks, if you\u2019re competing for the tops spots, every match matters, so it\u2019s pointless queueing up just to automatically lose RP. While there\u2019s no simple solution for the DDoSing problem in Apex Legends, it\u2019s obvious the community and pros alike are beginning to lose patience with the issue. Although Respawn has promised to do more, it\u2019s hard to know when they\u2019ll ever have a grasp on the cheaters ruining ranked play. For now, it\u2019s just a waiting game, but with pros unable to queue for ranked, it\u2019s a problem that has to be addressed in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
