r/apexlegends

I can’t get on after playing a game of wildcard, anyone else having the same issue, I’m on Xbox series S in case it’s console only. Let me know, thank ya thank ya

The servers are cooked you can barely log in and matchmaking completely doesn't work and apex legends status website shows 1000+ number of issues so just great

Loaded in and been stuck on matchmaking for like the last 10 mins.. anybody else having this issue?

Edit: servers are back after like 40+ mins

Coming from long work day to play, just to find out servers are down, whats wrong with the servers every while?

I’m trying to play and matchmaking takes up to 20 minutes, I have good connection and all servers have ping, I relaunched a game at least 5 times. Am I the only one with this problem?

Something is going on AGAIN with the servers. I finally got into the lobby but been stuck in matchmaking for like 6 minutes. They haven’t updated their website or social media saying anything is wrong so servers must’ve just crashed a bit ago.

I swear solo queuing is actually so frustrating like I’m doing EVERYTHING I CAN to be a good teammate and people just leave fights they LEAD me into all the time. No pings NOTHING. I get Z E R O help in fights ZERO.

P.s pubs is like literally no fun so I play ranked

uhh yep apex server's r officially fried, been trying to log into the game for a good couple of minutes now n seems like there's no apex for tonight

As of 21/05 2026, 17:37 CET I've got an infinite match search on Apex, is that just me or everyone having this trouble now?

Im probably going to be downvoted to oblivion but Hear me out.

Before Wildcard, pubs were genuinely brutal.

Games barely made it past round 2, lobbies were down to 5 squads in the first few minutes, and finishing with 3 to 5 kills felt like a solid game. At least for me

Kill trackers meant something because earning them was genuinely hard.

Now with Wildcard, I am regularly walking away with 6 to 9 kills, 20 bombs every few days, and there are still squads alive afterward.

The mode is just fundamentally faster and more "kill rich."

It is not a skill thing. The format changed the math.

So here is my question:

If 50k kills on one legend used to be intimidating, and now anyone grinding Wildcard can inflate that number way faster, what is the tracker that actually carries weight now?

Wins still feel meaningful to me.

Finishers? Wins? What id it for you other than badges or kill trackers?

Also just noticed someone already has 10k kills on Axle with the legend barely being out. The kill economy is just different now.

What tracker do you actually respect?

I see that it ends in 4 days??? Are they really getting rid of that mode?

It’s the only mode I can have any fun in! I’m a high level cause I play a lot, but I’m not skilled at all lol. Have a horrible k/d. In regular trios I just get killed immediately.

Please keep this mode!!!

If I look at my personal experience, I've met a ton of people I exclusively play Apex with. None of them I know outside of the game. I only solo queue if there is no other player around to play with. What prevents people from sending friend requests to players they want to team up with in the future? Why is the network I enjoy playing competitively with being invalidated simply because others didn’t build it up over the last seven years?

The predator 3-stack argument is simply not strong enough for me. Those are at best 250 on 83.000 teams playing Apex in peak hours (over all modes). Besides that, I’m getting destroyed in Apex Diamond lobbies more often than not because of my own dumb mistakes. And lets be honest. I can't blame preds for utilizing on my mistakes.

Solo queueing on a 7 year old TEAM orientated shooter with a strong player base sounds as a choice to me.

📋TESTING:
From June 9th to June 23rd we will be conducting the following test in Ranked:

Ranked will be solo queue only for all players Diamond and above. If you are Diamond or higher, you will not be able to squad up as a premade in Ranked.

Our hypotheses are that this will create more evenly matched high-skill lobbies, reduce hard-carries into Diamond, Master and Predator and build trust in the overall fairness of these matches.

While this is a commonly requested feature by portions of our community, we will be closely monitoring community sentiment and match data.

Note: The in-game notification that some encountered yesterday (May 19th) was a visual error, and players are currently still able to squad up without restrictions.
