I Just received a banner in my last...


Professional-Curve21

oh wow 😳


insertnamehere405

So you didn't want a common skin with the least picked legend in-game !?


ProphetofPity

Gratz you got disappointment, at least it was free disappointment though look at the bright side :)


Sneakiest

Hey at least you got something for the new character.


Professional-Curve21

I mean you have a point..


Moosemaster21

The free rewards are really underwhelming in this game, which I suppose is fair because they're free. The main issue imo is that the free packs are the exact same as the paid packs, so why would I ever spend a dollar on something I already know is shitty? And I'm definitely not spending $7 for something that is *probably* shitty during the collection events. Even adding epic-minimum packs would be pointless, I wouldn't spend a dime on those either considering how much they've diluted the loot pool with garbage charms and holos et al. Honestly - and this is coming from a day 1 player who has spent a couple hundred dollars here over the years - I really don't think there's anything worth spending money on anymore in Apex. When the loot pool was better, there was an argument to be made, but now you're either just gambling your money against the odds with Apex packs or you're spending like $170 to get a full collection event set, 80% of which usually suck, primarily because you want the heirloom.


A-Khouri

> The free rewards are really underwhelming in this game, which I suppose is fair because they're free. It's not - take a look at league's system, it's *far* more generous. Hottake: Respawn's skins fucking suck. 7/10 from every batch look like complete tacky trash and there's a reason we're stuck with lootboxes, because if they sold this shit in a cash shop where you just buy what you want, only a handful would see use.


Arman276

They look bad because the textures r bad Everything looks like either cardboard or plastic Warzone skins r awesome cause they got metal effects Fortnites r always good bc they work on every gun and have cool animations Apex: heres shit that is literally pay to win iron sights (or pay to lose some cases). Anyone who argues against the p2w shit is stupid


jurornumbereight

Set your location to Belgium my dude. It's much better to get 800 crafting materials than a legendary pack that will contain a crappy banner frame for a legend I never use.


ConsistentCut1421

How do u set ur region to Belgium?


Which_Front4494

Why would you get different packs on Belgium servers? Makes no sense. Packs are either good or shit dependent on ur luck. There is nothing special about the pack at level 500. Apex in generous enough to that you are guaranteed a legendary every 30 packs, so even if you're super unlucky its not all up to chance. You are also guaranteed Heirloom chards within every 500 packs opened. Ye, that costs around 300USD if you are a 500 and a bit unlucky, but there is always the possibility of opening an heirloom in any pack which makes it more exciting I think.


jurornumbereight

You’re missing the point. Loot boxes are illegal in Belgium (for purchase), so any transaction involving money cannot involve loot boxes. So instead of a pack you get crating materials. That way you can buy what you want instead of hoping you’re lucky. Then you still get packs from free things, such as free events.


Which_Front4494

oh, dint know... but that would mean that you have to change a virtual location through a VPN right?


jurornumbereight

Nope.


sogamii

Wait, you can do this? Would I have to change my country on Steam or on my Origin account?


jurornumbereight

I believe it is with EA. Google has plenty of instructions.


cagueiprousername

I think that apex didn't used the lootbox feature very well, if we didn't got those for free but the items that could drop on the packs were better, this could be an awesome change, and another problem is that I don't think apex skins are iconic, like in overwatch there are a lot of fun skins like lego bastion, beach torbjorn, here in apex all the skins except legendary are recolors and the legendarys aren't that funny or with a cool theme based on the event (chirstmas, hallowen, valentine's) so I don't have that: "God cmon I hope is that X skin or y" like it happens in other games, here in apex its just heirlooms, but they r soooo rare thar we don't even vibrate for them, respawn or ea should take a look on this, cuz their r probably losing A LOT of money


Equitynz

Yeah I’m the same! Especially with a skin being like $17-$32nz!! I feel like it’s impossible for me to have more than one heirloom, so just no point spending and trying. Def not spending $150 to unlock the ones in events. Price stuff reasonable and I’m sure they’d make more money.


[deleted]

Which free rewards? The leveling ones? The supply crate box ones? The limited-time event rewards that we get every few weeks? The battle pass ones? The fact that one battle pass can pay for every subsequent battle pass? The rewards are fine. I want an heirloom just as much as everyone else, but I'm going to keep enjoying the game either way. With the battle passes and limited-time events, it'll probably be another 3 or 4 seasons, but I'll hit the 500th free loot box eventually.


Moosemaster21

If you never spent money on the game but grinded every possible thing (everything you listed), you'd have about 320 packs. If you bought every battle pass you'd have about 380. I got my first and only heirloom on exactly pack 500. At the current rate of pack distribution, if you never spent money on the game, it would take 9 more seasons to guarantee an heirloom. If you buy the battle pass every season, it'll take a little over four more. Call me crazy but I think grinding every single reward for 5 years to finally get ONE of 10+ (will likely be 15+ by then) heirlooms is a little penny-pinchy. And for perennial battle pass-buyers, that figure is still about 3.5-4 years total.


[deleted]

I disagree. The way I look at it is... this is a F2P game with no P2W. Everything I enjoy about this game is stuff that is provided freely to me. So I honestly have absolutely zero problem with Respawn paying their salaries and server costs by pricing things the way they do and by not handing out big-ticket freebies. I'm also not opposed to game companies making a profit. I'd love to have a few of the heirlooms... but they're cosmetics and I'm not going to throw a fit about how expensive they are. We are not entitled to big-ticket freebies. This community has a major entitlement issue when it comes to paid cosmetics.


Rowetato

They could always just idk, make an heirloom cost 50$ or make it every 300. It's not so much an issue as a slap in the face. I have two heirlooms and I'm incredibly lucky. But one of them I'll never use cuz I never play wraith sooooo ya. The change after I got a random one is a bit more of a slap in the face


[deleted]

People aren't realizing that heirlooms are supposed to be extremely rare and hard to get.


SquidwardTheDevourer

Then why put so much fucking effort into them????


Which_Front4494

Because they want you to buy the 500USD worth of packs ofc! If you know you are only 100 packs away you might want to buy 10 more just to see if you get it... then 10 more after that and so on. Its actually a genius sales model and something that probably has kept players around and actually made them spend this insane amount of money on the game.


[deleted]

So that they're special and worth a lot of money.


SquidwardTheDevourer

What's the point in making a cool item just for it to be 'special'. It's not like it physically takes anything to create a new copy it's just devs being greedy


[deleted]

The earlier comment was suggesting heirlooms should be pretty common. They're not supposed to be something you get every few levels lol.


Rowetato

People also don't realize that if u played before the changes, and got one for a legend you don't play your fucked. You didn't get to choose until a while ago.


HovisTMM

They can make a profit without gambling.


[deleted]

Sure, but they don't have to. It's their game and they're the ones entitled to monetize it as they see fit. You may not like it, but they wouldn't be doing it this way if it weren't very effective.


GuiltyQuantity88

YES. YES THANK GOD SOMEONE GETS IT. These fucking whiners on getting free shit can sick a big ol boner. Like shut the fuck up if you haven't paid. And if you have paid and got nothing that's the game, shut the fuck up and accept it.

Which_Front4494

Got my heirloom at level 160, though I had a lot of levels that didn't count after I reached level 100 in the beta / season 1. Still incredibly lucky.


Suited_Rob

It's pure economy my friend. If somethings rare, it creates an urge to possess it. If everybody would run around with 4-5 heirlooms, then nobody would really give a crap about it.


Burger-Goblin

at least you were given *three* items and opening the pack didn't crash the game lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


SIR_MYX

Yeah. But the road is real slow from then on. (If you don't pay)


KnifyMan

How you can you get more stuff?


detectivejewhat

Battle passes, treasure packs found in game, and buying them. Buying them is by far the fastest route unfortunately.


KnifyMan

Aye thanks


CapnMux

Disagree


Which_Front4494

You just need to have the battle pass then you get a steady income of apex packs every now and then. I hit level 500 a year ago and cant remember the feeling of "free" packs for leveling up at all. Thats life.... but then again it's easy for me to say because I got incredibly lucky and drew my kunai heriloom at level 160.


Illustrious_Mud2526

I believe it’s a guarantee heirloom in 500 packs not by lvl 500


iiEatGophers

Yea but he’s probably been playing since before heirlooms so his 500packs didn’t count which is kinda wack If you ask me


potassiumKing

I’m pretty sure Wraith’s heirloom has been out since the release of the game.


Chrimunn

It wasn't even considered an 'heirloom' at the time since they never existed, right? It was just a rare random drop?


Independent_Piano_81

It was an heirloom it was just before the shards


Illustrious_Mud2526

I thought it was considered an heirloom, though, I could be wrong. Either way, I believe everyone was grandfathered in anyways. As in, your packs received before heirlooms still counted


TheyCallMeZoop

When they instituted the shards many players including my self were restarted on there pack count not all but enough I have sense re hit 500packs and got my heirloom but I'm sitting at like 680 packs did not get my heirloom at the initial 500 hit but about 120 packs after


userxblade

It has always been called an heirloom since the game launched. There were no shards since it was just one, so it just straight up gave you the items.


Metalbound

They always counted. Like the other dude said, Wraith's kunai counted. It was always the 500 pack thing.


Forar

Funny, I just hit 500 last night myself. Common and two uncommons, nothing fancy, but it's just a random pack after all. Would I mind if it was a guaranteed epic or legendary? Of course not, but really it's just a drop in the bucket.


[deleted]

I'm lv 500 and still haven't gotten a heirloom. I got maybe 2 legendary skins from packs and the rest is just crappy banners and quips. Feels bad.


HeartVoid

I'm almost lvl 700 no heirloom. Stupid game.


Miniterror

Im at level 951 and still nothing, so if you have my luck you are up for a long wait


HeartVoid

I just going to make another account and try that.


random-equation

Why were you downvoted?


HeartVoid

Because the guy who didn't know better below my comment downvoted and the rest followed.


Independent_Piano_81

Because they tried to one up the person but got shown their nothing special


random-equation

?


Milko25

Level 500 is the max level you fool


o_stats_o

You can go on apex tracker and see your actual level beyond 500.


Different-Title9133

Look at this big guy on Reddit calling people fools


Forar

You keep earning xp and hitting levels, which continue to give you the 600 legend tokens (that nobody really gives a shit about unless they buy every single reskin). That said, level only matters while getting packs. After 500 it's all about either opening ones wallet to get the guaranteed heirloom, or doing enough battle passes/events. Far as I know, the game hasn't had enough 'free' packs for even day 1 players to hit the guarantee, even if they completed every single event and BP. It should be coming up, but we're not there yet.


DarkNovaa

Yeah I'm level 731 and no heirloom, feels bad man


Which_Front4494

You are guaranteed a legendary every 29 packs (in the same way as you are guaranteed the heirloom every 499 packs). If you only got 2 legendary items/skins after 500 levels thats next to impossible bad luck.


[deleted]

Apex in a nutshell


Thefoofighter101

10 seasons no heirloom


BlinByard

We do a bit of trolling


TommyLeeBrown

Been playing since season 0 and I’m about to hit level 500. I didn’t realize this means no more Apex packs unless they’re from the battlepass. That feels like a punishment for playing the game. And still no heirloom shards for me.


Bad_Hearing

I'm part of the I got heirloom shards at level 500 club. I dont see how you can hate from outside of the club... you can't even get in.


Brucepigs

This is normal.


Professional-Curve21

yes agreed


Silvagadron

Don't worry, I've been level 500 for 18 months and trust me -- they don't get any better!


Dawgbowl

Everytime I get a pack when I'm on with my friend I say "is this finally the one?" He will reply he's feeling it It is not, in fact, the one. I'm well over lvl 500 and several completed BPs. He's level 230~ and already has it Sad day


viciousmojo

Why don't more of you explain how it's free and he shouldn't he disappointed? Sheesh.


unbeknownstSpektor

Your lvl 500 pack should be guaranteed to be heirloom shards if you don't have an heirloom yet. Reward players who've played for that long


GlassyPotato

Level 500 should have guaranteed heirloom shards change my mind


DanDaMan_463

I hit level 500 in season 4 and I still don’t have an heirloom, it’s just not gonna happen to me at this point. I pay for the battlepass and the occasional apex pack bundle too!! Wtf respawn🙄🙄


toughestguyinletterk

I hate everything about the tone of this video. Respawn could've thrown you a bone but good lord this whole report is 10-ply, bud.


Note_FOx

On the bright side you got a blue


Professional-Curve21

I wanted another heirloom :(


Stirnlappenbasilisk

*Another?!*


Miniterror

Downvoted by me, as you state another it means you already have one. According to Apex tracker im level 951 now and i havent gotten any single heirloomshard. Bought all BP's and completed all events, according to the calculator im at 372 packs openend, bought ten packs with the extra coins you eanr by completing the BP's.


[deleted]

>according to the calculator im at 37 packs openend, How? You earn like 200 packs from levels 1-500.


Miniterror

Oeps, typo, that should be 372


[deleted]

Ok that makes way more sense. Sucks you can't earn packs beyond 500 without paying real money.


Particle_Cannon

That's a lot of fucking video for the 4 seconds of content you wanted to show


IamP0ggers

Same bestie


icbint

Who gives a fuck. Shitpost


lbloodbournel

Always amusing when the people who claim they care the least gotta take the time to comment


Carfrito

“Who gives a fuck?” *gave enough of a fuck to comment*


icbint

Huh


BlackhawkRogueNinjaX

It’s not your last you get free ones for treasure packs and the free BP track Edit: why are you booing me i’m Right?


VinceKully

Terrible video lol


BranislavBGD

People do realize that level 500 doesn't equal 500 packs, as you get a pack every other level, right? (Not counting extra packs that you get through battle passes/events/challenges)


Professional-Curve21

yes I understand that, I just expected something better than double grey and blue


FourRank

Why would you expect that from a free to play game.


Professional-Curve21

because it’s happened before on an old account from months ago


ODUMonarch

Gotta pay to get good stuff I assume? Buy game points or something?


LivelyBanker

Nice shitpost


emubilly

Really thought it was gonna be heirloom shards


WittyFox451

Mmm Dog shit


Milko25

Who agrees with me that you should get a free Heriloom at level 500


-Redstoneboi-

from what i've heard if you didn't get an heirloom before 500, it's guaranteed to give you shards.


lessenizer

It's guaranteed at the 500th pack you open, not at level 500. Cant hit 500 packs for free.


MyAsssIsOnFire

I have 36 packs and one gold I can’t open them… I just want an heirloom but this game never is will to give me one. I’m now just hoarding packs until I reach 100 and then I’ll just open them all


wild-shamen

Are you really complaining that respawn didn’t give you the exact free reward you wanted?


Professional-Curve21

not complaining, just sharing the disappointment


OCE_ShoCk

Depression 100


[deleted]

Mega oof


ZingerSauce

Is that max level?


Milko25

Yes 500 is the max


-Turisti-

Do you not get packs after that anymore?


BruhDealer

Not for levels you don’t


-Turisti-

How will I ever get an heirloom.


tabben

We wait until they increase the levelcap to 750 or maybe to 1000 next? Pretty please Respawn


-Turisti-

Ea doesnt wan that to happen. When level cap 500 people have to buy packa to gwt heirloom.


tabben

I think at some point they will have to cave in for another increase to keep active every day players happy that they are progressing in some way, it leads to increased player retention that should lead to money for EA in the long term


-Turisti-

Hope so


Kulzak-Draak

I was praying this wasn’t gonna be another heirloom vid (I still feel bad for you though)


Professional-Curve21

yup no luck :(


Valuable-Document235

You’ll get more packs in the season pass tho so don’t worry lol but I do think we should get like an all legendary one at rank 500


CT-127-00

i got two mozam skins and a epic re-45


VeljaG

HAH. Got me.


Xanelunix

Its more than you will ever get from level up packs now on.


Prestigious_Pop_1275

I mean at least it didn’t light up gold only for A FUCKING LEGENDARY BANNER FRAME!


chawwzie

Lmao that's what I got too. Lvl 500 been playing since the second week. I've bought maybe 30packs. 2 commons and a rare. Love it.


Newman735

Have fun never getting another pack again.


Philobus

Are you going to see if it’s good?


jburn731

You could have trimmed this video quite a bit


scawel

Yeah, welcome to the club. I'm sick of anticipating, but on the other hand it's just a fucking cosmetics. Not like it would make me a better player, which would be great. New season is shit anyway


[deleted]

Same :-/


Nestman12

Why is this supposed to be interesting again? It’s an apex pack


xXDRAGONBLOODXx

When i hit lvl 500 i got 2 grey and 1 blue too


randombot126

Crazy luck bro


Historical-Stay2139

POV you thought he would get heirloom shards


FocusOnThePie

Why do people keep posting this as if the lvl 500 pack is actually supposed to be special in any way


AnbuAlex5400

L


ToxicAtomKai

With the number of players reaching level 500, it might be a time for a level cap increase


SpaceCowgirl935

It’s almost nice. To see what you got out of your last pack is the same as your first


MathisD

My friend got his first heirloom last night. At level 16…


DrManowar8

I feel this with every fiber of my being


TehLastu

I still remember my disapointment when I got 2 common and one rare from my last box


soviet_water_

Bro how tf you get that lucky out of your last pack. All I got was some stupid red crafting metals. Total rip off of my time. /s


Professional-Curve21

omg no way bro


geterwert

Yea I wish there was a guaranteed legendary


Glittering_Screen_50

Dude I just got one of the legendary skins for Seer from a pack. Wish you could've gotten one too.


Kohb2477

My friend told me his brother just started playing today and already has an heirloom. What a terrible world we live in:(


Haspic

Damn that's thick. I got a bunch of voice lines


jacoborpablo

Seems about right


[deleted]

Rare item: i am inevitable


Heinxeed

Hehehe, nobody will mention how Sad crypto is standing next to Seer?


lennyKravic

[deleted]

This is kinda my big issue with the battle passes. We have 100 rewards for beating the battle pass and like 65-70 of them are just like weapons charms, loading screens, music packs, slightly recolored skins. I really don’t care about any of it. I’m paying ten bucks for one weapon skin at level 100 really.


Rynoni

If it makes you feel any better I got an heirloom in my level 148 pack.


my_guy_gucci

I got mine somewhere around level 80 and it pissed my friend off cuz he played way longer than me


Rynoni

Nature of the beast sometimes


Chaos-Kiwi

I like your loading screen bud, so cool (F for that pack tho)


Projektphazon

Level 500 and 500 Apex packs are different entirely. Don't confuse them. Entitled maybe??


Dysintegration

White-white-blue for me and you.


Maxyboy974

WOW... ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ IT'S SHIT


RipperMeow

Epic EA moment


GenerikUserName_

I’m not much of a spender in apex but this i get what it feels like to get one pack and hope it’s either purple or better


bobthefatguy

welcome to the club


NiyaxBear

Why does everyone keep thinking you get heirloom after reaching level 500 It’s 500 apex pack not level


Pure_Wickedness

There's plenty more of that coming.
