Jakenbake slams EA over \u201cunplayable\u201d Apex Legends servers Jakenbake TwitchTwitch streamer \u2018JakenbakeLIVE\u2019 was bewildered at the state of Apex Legends\u2019s servers before calling out EA and Respawn Entertainment to fix the burgeoning problem. The Apex Legends community has been vocal about issues regarding numerous bugs and microtransactions since the launch of the game \u2013 but a prominent recurring dilemma among players has been the faulty servers hindering gameplay across regions. Analysis and breakdowns of the game\u2019s netcode in the past revealed how lackluster the backend for Apex Legends can be, something Jakenbake experienced firsthand during his stream. The Diamond 4 ranked player has seen a ton of action in the four months he\u2019s been playing Apex, but a series of unfortunate connection issues prompted him to pop off on the publisher and developers of the popular BR. \u201cThis is single-handedly the worst lag I\u2019ve ever experienced, and this isn\u2019t lag on my end,\u201d he claimed. \u201cThis is server bulls**t packet loss. EA, Respawn, get your s**t together. You literally have a community of people that play this game. Streamers and content creators that carry the s**t out of your player base.\u201d After looking to change his server from the available list in his nearby regions, the streamer didn\u2019t see many options with better conditions. He went on to give a passionate tirade on the \u201csimple things\u201d that pros and community members have been asking from the devs, which haven\u2019t yet come to pass. \u201cFor how long have [Respawn and EA] listened to the pros and content creators complain about the simple things that need to be fixed?\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd how long have they been ignored?\u201d He called on the professional teams and players attending the $500,000 Apex Legends Global Series Major in Arlington, Texas on March 13 to show up without mouse and keyboards, and refuse to enter the Esports Stadium until Respawn fixes their game. While there might have been a comedic element to his speech, it comes from an honest place: In his time getting to know pro players and seeing the complaints of the community, Jake thinks EA and Respawn should \u201cfix [Apex Legends\u2019s problems] before hosting a tournament\u201d for it. Prior to addressing the Apex community, Jake got into a match riddled with questionable packet loss, players popping in and out of frames, and bizarre animations with his weapons. The game with his friends before that was unceremoniously ended by a second group of hackers he had come across that night. Jakenbake briefly became the megaphone for the Apex Legends community, aiming his discontent with the state of the game toward the developers in hopes that major fixes come sooner than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
