So I’m sure a million people have already said this but Apex REALLY needs some private or public test servers to get better data on balance and game stability. Not only would a test server make the community super happy by finally opening a line of communication with Respawn and having some transparency with us, but it would be free bug testing for them and they could be more confident that the content they are putting out is balanced and approved by their player base.
I think something that could be cool would be having a private server that can only be accessed if you are Pred (this is coming from someone who hardly made it to diamond), so that the people who spend the most time and effort in the game get first dibs on suggesting fixes, then once they approve something move it to a public test server where it can be tested by a more casual player base for general balance. Just my opinion, and I don’t even know if Pred players would like that but I thought it would be another cool thing to incentivize grinding through ranked.
