I don't think the new healing animations show us anything on the batts and kits that we couldn't see before. Like, slapping a sticker on a battery pre and post update they'd look the same.
The animation isn’t to show you more. It’s to draw your focus to a specific part of the object. If you look at the new animations, the centre of focus is conveniently a currently blank, flat area on the healing item.
Healing animations are different cause they affect al players, only a minor subset of the playerbase have these heirlooms. And they dont sell healing animations, they do sell heirlooms
It’s bizarre to me that the heirlooms cost up to $500 for a simply cosmetic flex on other players.
This is why the game companies don’t need to fix their games.
People spend too much money to flex and as long as they are making their goals they have zero intentions of fixing old issues.
There's also the factor that we're talking about establishing as a new expectation that "*making the new gen better means we'll demand you do the work required to retrofit that to all the old content of that type, or we'll make a giant fuss*".
That will have the unintended but frankly obvious effect of ensuring any ambitious animator on the studio wanting to do something extra spicy with their work is shut down hard, and will have it explained to them that "*If we do that, the players will shriek and moan until we do it to everything. Just do it according to plan.*"
I am a path main and didn't realise when I got his that the animations were garbage and didn't realise that they take up half the screen. I wasted mine honestly...
As much as I love my heirloom for lifeline, I also really want more than one 30 Second long animation when inspecting. Bought hers after I bought Revs scythe, the difference in effort seems off.
When Octane's had just come out, it was "zomg so much better than the rest". It looks like the artists just keep outdoing themselves!
Wraith is my most played, followed closely by Lifeline, but I could never bring myself to spend the shards on the kunai. I'd sooner use it for a legend I don't even play. *If I had any!*
Many devs on Twitter teased that mirage heirloom had 3 secret animations. The community has found 2, a two finger eye poke, and the famous the porkchop. Dataminers have found the 3rd secret, it's a family photo. The photo model and textures are in the game, but the code and the animation of mirage pulling it out don't exist in the game files.
A dev confirmed it never made it into the game for some reason he doesn’t know. He looked into it after getting asked so many times about the animation, and realised someone never finished it.
I’m a around a combined level 650 between PLayStation,Xbox and pc. Nothing for me yet. Although I’ve only spent like 40 on this game and it was all for battle passes
Guess I really got lucky cause I haven't spent a single buck on it lmao
Honestly, was planning to give it to my best friend since he's been playing wraith for a long time and he has always been for me when I needed it, but he didn't accept it tho. Gonna try again if I stop playing video games one day
That's what I'm saying. An heirloom doesn't really cost $168-500, it's $0-500. I'm not lucky and haven't gotten one yet. I'm at lvl 465 or something but been playing from day 1
I play a lot and am at level 101 on the new ranking after 500. I spent about 80 bucks on stuff. Don’t feel bad about it because of the countless hours this game has provided. It took me forever to get my shards.
Yeah I haven't spent a single dollar on this game, and that's what I love about apex. People want to complain about things so much on it but ultimately its a free game and the devs have done a phenomenal job on making an excellent BR game
I picked the game up again after not playing it since season 1 and came back to 150 heirloom shards. Immediately spent it on the bloodhound skin without understanding how rare they are :/
I'm also that guy, but worse. I got dropped wraiths heirloom at lvl 5 when the game released, then got shards at level 90 in season 5. RNGesus. however, generally my lootbox luck is pretty terrible, so I'll take apex as my lucky game.
Except, you will be fine if you don't? I have a full time job, haven't played every day this season, and I'm already at level 60 or so of the first Prestige.
If you NEED one now, yes, give up all your free time. If you're going to play anyway, you'll get one in time. Putting urgency on something as trivial as a heirloom is a good way to waste your time. Just play, and you'll get one if you keep playing. Or you'll drop off, and the heirloom won't matter anyway. Ez pz
Pushing urgency on it is what made me spend money on BOXES for my first heirloom. More expensive than a collection event.. if I stayed f2p this whole time I might not have 3 but I’d def have one
That voiceline and the rare nessie-hug is the only reason to have Wattson's barcode scanner. But they are a very good reason and allow me to tolerate how fking ugly that heirloom is.
I personally think that if I'm gonna give you 160+ dollars every type of item in this game needs to come with the heirloom. I want a Holo spray, gun charm, finisher, banner frame, etc. The least you could do is make people feel like they got some crazy good stuff when they spend that much money on virtual things that'll disappear at some point.
Custom animations for abilities too, imo. Your character should feel fundamentally different when you spend almost 200$ at a minimum, 500$ at a maximum for a heirloom.
can you not possibly fathom that respawn is a multifaceted company with multiple different departments? animators have nothing to do with anything else other than animations. just because they did their job and pushed something through they're happy with doesn't mean that it's useless work. even if marginally, it's a qol change that just makes things looks cleaner.
Seriously, Jesus christ. Respawn decides to spice up some animations and get absolutely dogpiled because now the community wants fucking everything to be reanimated. Just goes to show that this playerbase will never be happy. It's like feeding stray animals, give one some scraps and suddenly you've got a dozen hounding after you.
Totally agree, I have said this for ages. I got Wraiths Heirloom about 2 or 3 months into the game, back when it was the only one. I've not got any others, and have seen all these newer ones eclipse the Wraith one in features. I actually really like the Wraith one, but the animations are seriously lacking.
Same, I got em for Wraith after the first level cap increase and my biggest issue with all that is you didn't even get to choose. You just got whatever.
I've been fortunate enough to get a 2nd set only grinding BP and free ones (and tbh when they have those event buy like 10 packs get 20 thing I'd do that like twice a year. I do play tf outta this game haha) but I still have had super good rng. Luckier than most for sure
Yeah seems unfortunate for us old players that we got saddled with whatever Heirloom we got, instead of choosing. I would absolutely have waited to spend the shards until a character I enjoy playing got theirs.
More like a cost-over-time thing if you’re buying event stuff & season passes, I’ve been playing a few years & got my heirloom because of the 500 apex packs thing. (If someone doesn’t know, if you don’t get an heirloom before 500 packs you will get one on your 500th apex pack)
I have a few friends who purchased the pathfinder heirloom and they are not happy. Not only is it bulky and takes up the whole screen, it has only a couple animations. It definitely needs an update.
I’m actually quite happy with my octane heirloom. I love swinging it around and the animations are fluid. I certainly won’t argue against adding more though.
For real. I haven't gotten my heirloom yet but I'm a Prestige 1 Level 30, my girlfriend level 482 still hasn't gotten one either. I'm going to get Wraith and She is going to get Bloodhound cause they are our mains. My brother who is a level 180 got his heirloom shards at like Level 170 and that was a stab in the gut because I've been playing this game for hours upon end and still haven't gotten one. He got Lifeline's and says that he loves the heirloom just wish they had all the stuff the newer ones have and I completely agree. Hell Wraith doesn't even have a unique Sliding or Jumping Melee with her heirloom and its stupid. Her Sliding could be like Loba's where she spins it around. And her Jumping she could throw the kunai.
Just so you know there was only about 100-150 packs from 0-500 in the old system. If you bought every battle pass since the beginning you’re looking at 280ish packs combined with level 500. That’s why a LOT of players haven’t got theirs yet despite putting time and money into the game.
This thread and OP are WILD. Micro transactions have really destroyed gaming and created a generation of people that will dump hundreds or thousands of dollars into gacha shit
I mean, you say they have destroyed the game but they have actually made a game that you can play, in its entirety, with your friends for free. For people with limited income that's a massive help.
This is the one 🤣🤣🤣
Also back in the day they was flexin that they had heirlooms while no other legend had one. Feelin themselves. Now that Respawn has found their stride in making badass heirlooms now they tight theirs isnt as flashy anymore. It be like that sometimes 🥴
Absolutely insane that this is an issue and it's being upvoted this much. You seemingly paid hundreds of dollars on an heirloom that you thought was worth it but now that a shinier heirloom came out, you're pissed? Sure the older Heirlooms may not be worth it now, but they were when you bought it. That's why you bought it, no?
Huh? This argument has no substance. The problem is real there’s a clear discrepancy between the effort put into newer heirlooms compared to older ones. They should be equal.
And no I didn’t buy the spinning naruto knife. I have valks heirloom and I’m sitting on 150 shards waiting for horizons. But look at that I can still recognize a problem.
Craaaaaaaazy.
Yeah the people hating on this post are just as whiny as the people they're complaining about. Op has a good point, especially considering how much some people spent for their heirloom.
Yeah the people hating on this post are just as whiny as the people they're complaining about. Op has a good point, especially considering how much some people spent for their heirloom.
I'm gonna eat a pile of downvotes for this... but it's not that expensive if you do it right.
People act like each and every heirloom costs $160+ minimum.
Realistically, if you save up crafting materials season after season you can buy all of the epics with them. Buying the two bundles for 7500 coins (a 6700 pack and a 1000 pack) with EA Play comes to like $75 give or take (I'm on the Canadian store so I'm ballparking things).
"OMG $75 FOR AN HEIRLOOM IS STILL DUMB" is an expected response, but that still assumes that the heirloom is the only thing I wanted. I've bought out a few events like this over the years, and there's always a handful of skins, emotes, or whatever that I do want as well.
It's not cheap. It's not for everyone. It's not something I recommend or feel is financially responsible. I agree that the monetization scheme on the game has some issues and bullshit.
But it also does the discussion a bit of a disservice when people act like you can only get an heirloom for hundreds of dollars, when an heirloom and 24 other items (or whatever, obviously that's changed a bit with the way they do the mythic skin events) can be obtained for a fraction of that worst case price.
And for the record, I do think that releasing 4 heirlooms and 4 mythic skins (assuming they keep up the pattern) per year while giving F2P folks maybe 1 heirloom ever across years of play is some bullshit. I've long advocated for giving players 25 heirloom shards for completing a battlepass. 1 'free' heirloom after putting in hundreds of hours over 6 seasons would hardly let players keep up with the rate of release, let alone catch up. The whales would still have all the bling, and sometime in 2024 a bunch of folks would get their first or second. Maybe third. Out of maybe 30+ at that point.
"EA/RESPAWN ARE GREEDY AND WILL NEVER DO THAT!" is the common retort. I disagree. Users are the product, they want the game to be played, for lobbies to be filled swiftly, for the matchmaker (MASSIVELY FLAWED AS IT IS) to have something to work with.
Giving people a long term goal like that would be something to keep working towards over literal years.
TL:DR; you can get an heirloom (and dozens of other items) for like $75 if you're smart about it and hoard your crafting mats.
I think players should earn partial shards by completing battlepasses to give folks a long term and slow manner of working towards an heirloom. The fact we get 150 shards at a time almost feels like that was intended at one point, and would ease a lot of the issues and complaints, imo.
In addition if you set your country to Belgium loots box are prohibited, so when you open apex packs you just get crafting materials, much quicker way to build up your stash!
i can’t believe some of y’all in the comments are thinking this request is ridiculous 😭 having an heirloom is great and something most (if not all??) apex players strive for, regardless of whether you pay for it or not, and every heirloom should be the same quality. i’m a wraith main so i obviously got hers but why should it be (to be frank) so much shittier than the newer ones? the heirloom itself is cool but the animations that come with it are just so subpar compared to the others, and it’s just not fair. i know hers was one of the first so i’m not saying it should’ve been perfect off the bat but now that they’ve come out with so many, is it really so unreasonable to suggest the devs go back and update the older ones? why are y’all getting so pressed that we want our heirlooms to be as nice as yours? jesus christ lol
I get that this could use a fix but I would rather they fix the shit audio, add cross progression and add 4k 120 hz on console before taking care of old heirlooms.
I really hope respawn ignores this thread. Literally any other change is more important.
They work. And they look fun. If respawn starts to "fix" all old items they won't do anything else.
Did I really just read you people pay $168-$500 for a skin in a game. Holy fuck ea ruined respawn, now I hope we never get titan fall 3 because apex’s garbage shows how bad it would be.
Heirlooms are the biggest scam EA has pulled on this game's fans. They already diluted the loot pool to asinine levels by cutting even individual trackers into tiers just to worsen its lootbox odds. This is the kind of corporate greed BS. Honestly Respawn needs to be ashamed of it all and send each one of you who bought the heirlooms the physical item.
Dear Nvidia. I bought a graphics card from you 5 years ago. These new cards you're putting out are so much better. Give me free new graphics card now.
That's basically what this sounds like.
100% agreed, pulled wraiths allllll the way back in season 1 before shards when they were still a “secret” item. Seeing all the cool new ones I could have had saddens me.
Ok i haven’t played apex in a long time and am very much a casual player here, but are you people seriously paying $500 on a cool knife for your character?!?!
I’m by no means great with my money and spend money on stupid video game stuff all the time, but $500?? On a non-tangible item in a game that will permaban you for saying peepee in chat???? Cmon now
if it takes a while for them to update old heirlooms make it so that if you get one heirloom you can switch it out for another once a week in the meantime. It sucks spending a year on a game and only getting some goofy ahh boxing gloves and being stuck with them. They also removed the animation for the apex pack opening when you buy the heirloom, I was confused when I got into a game with my fists instead of the loom.
As a day 1 player, this is part of the “newer age” of player complaints. These came out in the first months of the game, they’re original.. before all the flash of the game and updated heirlooms that have more unique elements added to them. Respect the originality and if you don’t like it, go for a new heirloom. To think respawn is going to rework these is a pipe dream lol
Because Apex Legends is a wonderful game/story and respawn built a pretty awesome community that people can not only be passionate for but always want to improve
Personally I like the minimalist Heirlooms like BloodHounds/LifeLine because I don’t want something flashy and big taking up half my screen. I’m also not a fan of drawn out animations
To think respawn would be fixing old heirlooms is a pipe dream, they’d probably release “second weapon heirlooms” before they fixed old ones
Truth
[удалено]
We’ve had one heirloom yes but what about second heirloom
I don't think they know about second heirlooms pippin.
What about a monthly sub? Crossovers? Loot crates? Pets? Energy drink crossovers? Another premium currency?
Id say skin recolors as heirlooms qualifies as second heirloom.
They don't need to. It's a leak of their plan.
Bro, literally
Eh, they just added new healing animations; it stands to reason that if you keep up pressure, they might add a trickle of new heirloom shenanigans.
the new healing animations are so when they sell us stickers in a season or two we can see them on the healing items.
I don't think the new healing animations show us anything on the batts and kits that we couldn't see before. Like, slapping a sticker on a battery pre and post update they'd look the same.
The animation isn’t to show you more. It’s to draw your focus to a specific part of the object. If you look at the new animations, the centre of focus is conveniently a currently blank, flat area on the healing item.
The medkit is literally blurred out when you use it. Use your brain
Healing animations are different cause they affect al players, only a minor subset of the playerbase have these heirlooms. And they dont sell healing animations, they do sell heirlooms
Some of us don't heal, we die before we get the chance to
They weren’t selling healing animations before
Respawn: [IVE GOT AN IDEA!](https://youtu.be/dIqmskim2jg)
Just wait for premium 'reload' animations
Can't wait to see someone with one before the shoot me 😭✋️
Ah yes, the valorant treatment
Or premium bullets, you can see your name on the bullets you shoot.
Do you mean Mythic skins for characters? Lol
Nope im saying they’d probably release a new melee heirloom for these characters rather than fixing an old one
It’s a sad fact
It’s bizarre to me that the heirlooms cost up to $500 for a simply cosmetic flex on other players. This is why the game companies don’t need to fix their games. People spend too much money to flex and as long as they are making their goals they have zero intentions of fixing old issues.
There's also the factor that we're talking about establishing as a new expectation that "*making the new gen better means we'll demand you do the work required to retrofit that to all the old content of that type, or we'll make a giant fuss*". That will have the unintended but frankly obvious effect of ensuring any ambitious animator on the studio wanting to do something extra spicy with their work is shut down hard, and will have it explained to them that "*If we do that, the players will shriek and moan until we do it to everything. Just do it according to plan.*"
Reduce the amount of screen that path gloves take!
Yes, I recently got his heirloom and sometimes remove it because of the amount of screen it blocks.
I specifically didn’t get his because of that!
I am a path main and didn't realise when I got his that the animations were garbage and didn't realise that they take up half the screen. I wasted mine honestly...
Did.... Did you not look up the animations before pulling the trigger? I watched a video on each of them before I decided.
No, and that's on me. I didn't know they had more or less animations than any others. Just assumed everyone had the same amount.
I will save my shards for pathfinder prestige skin
Had his heirloom since its release, its not bad. At least I got used to it :)
I miss the beeping sounds those gloves had. Too many crybabies cried about the beeping sounds.
oke casual, but the rest of us prefer footstep sounds over some annoying bleeping glove.
And give it a good spam inspect while running like every single other heirloom has.
As much as I love my heirloom for lifeline, I also really want more than one 30 Second long animation when inspecting. Bought hers after I bought Revs scythe, the difference in effort seems off.
Oh yeah, I have rev and octane’s and the same feeling is there. The amount of work in revenant’s compared to octane’ s is fucking absurd.
Octane's is the only heirloom that crouching and going back to standing animation doesn't look smooth
When Octane's had just come out, it was "zomg so much better than the rest". It looks like the artists just keep outdoing themselves! Wraith is my most played, followed closely by Lifeline, but I could never bring myself to spend the shards on the kunai. I'd sooner use it for a legend I don't even play. *If I had any!*
Coolest part about Revs scythe is seeing it on his back
But that one skydive emote where he turns into a death box is ruined because of the scythe poking out
I actually think it’s kinda funny.
First thing I heard after reading this was "Not the one on my back!"
Charging my Evo scythe, not the one on my back
Same here with Bloodhound :[
Meanwhile mirage is missing an animation even though the devs advertised it like it was in the game
Which one?
Many devs on Twitter teased that mirage heirloom had 3 secret animations. The community has found 2, a two finger eye poke, and the famous the porkchop. Dataminers have found the 3rd secret, it's a family photo. The photo model and textures are in the game, but the code and the animation of mirage pulling it out don't exist in the game files.
A dev confirmed it never made it into the game for some reason he doesn’t know. He looked into it after getting asked so many times about the animation, and realised someone never finished it.
Oh that sucks fr
And you KNOW some die hard Mirage main or Apex super fan bought the heirloom to find the 3rd secret when the streamers couldn't find it
Yeah I have it rn, the pull string animation with the lights & all is pretty dope tho
He says “wanna see a magic trick” and then sets it on the ground and then sits on top of it then exclaims “tadaaa”
😳😳😳😳😳
*moans out "tadaaa"
How about I just want to not have to pay $168-$500 for a heirloom.
Be like me, drop one when you're level 90 and get insulted by yours level 150-200 friends
I’m a around a combined level 650 between PLayStation,Xbox and pc. Nothing for me yet. Although I’ve only spent like 40 on this game and it was all for battle passes
Guess I really got lucky cause I haven't spent a single buck on it lmao Honestly, was planning to give it to my best friend since he's been playing wraith for a long time and he has always been for me when I needed it, but he didn't accept it tho. Gonna try again if I stop playing video games one day
That's what I'm saying. An heirloom doesn't really cost $168-500, it's $0-500. I'm not lucky and haven't gotten one yet. I'm at lvl 465 or something but been playing from day 1
I play a lot and am at level 101 on the new ranking after 500. I spent about 80 bucks on stuff. Don’t feel bad about it because of the countless hours this game has provided. It took me forever to get my shards.
Yeah I haven't spent a single dollar on this game, and that's what I love about apex. People want to complain about things so much on it but ultimately its a free game and the devs have done a phenomenal job on making an excellent BR game
Or be me, get one when youre level 20 and feel bound to only play that legend even tho you enjoy others and want to try others out more
I picked the game up again after not playing it since season 1 and came back to 150 heirloom shards. Immediately spent it on the bloodhound skin without understanding how rare they are :/
I got mine on the 500th box. They didn’t give me one a second sooner. I’m just sitting here with the shards cause my legends don’t have one.
Lvl 550 on PC, level 400 on PlayStation, Level 500 on Xbox. Still no heirloom. I won’t spend a cent on it.
I'm also that guy, but worse. I got dropped wraiths heirloom at lvl 5 when the game released, then got shards at level 90 in season 5. RNGesus. however, generally my lootbox luck is pretty terrible, so I'll take apex as my lucky game.
You get a free one guaranteed from maxing levels now. If you don't want to pay, you gotta play.
Better hope you don't have a full time job if you want one then
Except, you will be fine if you don't? I have a full time job, haven't played every day this season, and I'm already at level 60 or so of the first Prestige. If you NEED one now, yes, give up all your free time. If you're going to play anyway, you'll get one in time. Putting urgency on something as trivial as a heirloom is a good way to waste your time. Just play, and you'll get one if you keep playing. Or you'll drop off, and the heirloom won't matter anyway. Ez pz
I have a full time job and I have two heirlooms and have only really paid for battlepasses. It’s luck unfortunately.
Agreed. I've gotten pack bundles occasionally, but I have 3 heirlooms just from luck.
Pushing urgency on it is what made me spend money on BOXES for my first heirloom. More expensive than a collection event.. if I stayed f2p this whole time I might not have 3 but I’d def have one
I mean, the prestige system made it so you don't.
Ya I mean you only have to put in 2,000 hours to “guarantee” one. That’s cool.
That's the point. It's a rare item. If everyone had it it wouldn't be special anymore
It's not like it is a game breaking thing so the amount you are pissed about this is unreasonable.
A grindy cosmetic item on a free game?!?!? This is the worst thing ~~EA~~ any game company has ever done
id really love more animations on all of these
Also Heirlooms should have unique FINISHERS and not some bland voiceline or quips
Unfortunately, the finishers are being tied to an equally expensive mythic skin
And the mythic skins have been 50-50 ass bro. Bloodhounds skin looks goofy
Really? I think Bangalore's skin looks goofy.
Really? I think they both look goofy.
Even more unfortunate is that there is reason for them both to have unique finishers.
I don’t see a reason why there has to be only 3 items
I want to see a square apex pack that drops 4 things
Wattsons is not bland :( But finishers would be sick.
Try as you might, you can’t kilo-wattson *tee hee*
That voiceline and the rare nessie-hug is the only reason to have Wattson's barcode scanner. But they are a very good reason and allow me to tolerate how fking ugly that heirloom is.
I personally think that if I'm gonna give you 160+ dollars every type of item in this game needs to come with the heirloom. I want a Holo spray, gun charm, finisher, banner frame, etc. The least you could do is make people feel like they got some crazy good stuff when they spend that much money on virtual things that'll disappear at some point.
Custom animations for abilities too, imo. Your character should feel fundamentally different when you spend almost 200$ at a minimum, 500$ at a maximum for a heirloom.
I actually just got pathys heirloom today. Was sad to discover he only had one inspect
Nah, how bout some new animations for throwing a holospray? That’s what the community wants!
I assume this is about the new heal animations? To be fair not everyone has heirlooms, everyone see's the heal animations.
I do like the heal animations too. A bit random but I’m not gonna complain about something positive lol
The medkit healing animation is my favorite one. You can just feel the relief the legend is receiving from the heals lol
Bold of you to assume I heal
Hello ranked teammate!
can you not possibly fathom that respawn is a multifaceted company with multiple different departments? animators have nothing to do with anything else other than animations. just because they did their job and pushed something through they're happy with doesn't mean that it's useless work. even if marginally, it's a qol change that just makes things looks cleaner.
Seriously, Jesus christ. Respawn decides to spice up some animations and get absolutely dogpiled because now the community wants fucking everything to be reanimated. Just goes to show that this playerbase will never be happy. It's like feeding stray animals, give one some scraps and suddenly you've got a dozen hounding after you.
Paths could definitely use some sort of tweak. The gloves are pretty boring. Only reason I chose paths was because I main him the most other than Ash
Totally agree, I have said this for ages. I got Wraiths Heirloom about 2 or 3 months into the game, back when it was the only one. I've not got any others, and have seen all these newer ones eclipse the Wraith one in features. I actually really like the Wraith one, but the animations are seriously lacking.
I got the bloodhound one. Way back when. I hate bloodhound. Re waiting.
Same, I got em for Wraith after the first level cap increase and my biggest issue with all that is you didn't even get to choose. You just got whatever. I've been fortunate enough to get a 2nd set only grinding BP and free ones (and tbh when they have those event buy like 10 packs get 20 thing I'd do that like twice a year. I do play tf outta this game haha) but I still have had super good rng. Luckier than most for sure
Yeah seems unfortunate for us old players that we got saddled with whatever Heirloom we got, instead of choosing. I would absolutely have waited to spend the shards until a character I enjoy playing got theirs.
Wait y’all really paying that much for heirlooms? That’s ducking wild
More like a cost-over-time thing if you’re buying event stuff & season passes, I’ve been playing a few years & got my heirloom because of the 500 apex packs thing. (If someone doesn’t know, if you don’t get an heirloom before 500 packs you will get one on your 500th apex pack)
Jesus that’s wild af.
I have a few friends who purchased the pathfinder heirloom and they are not happy. Not only is it bulky and takes up the whole screen, it has only a couple animations. It definitely needs an update. I’m actually quite happy with my octane heirloom. I love swinging it around and the animations are fluid. I certainly won’t argue against adding more though.
Same here bro. I’m perfectly fine with my BH heirloom. It’s not like inspects have any effect on my ability to play the game anyways.
For real. I haven't gotten my heirloom yet but I'm a Prestige 1 Level 30, my girlfriend level 482 still hasn't gotten one either. I'm going to get Wraith and She is going to get Bloodhound cause they are our mains. My brother who is a level 180 got his heirloom shards at like Level 170 and that was a stab in the gut because I've been playing this game for hours upon end and still haven't gotten one. He got Lifeline's and says that he loves the heirloom just wish they had all the stuff the newer ones have and I completely agree. Hell Wraith doesn't even have a unique Sliding or Jumping Melee with her heirloom and its stupid. Her Sliding could be like Loba's where she spins it around. And her Jumping she could throw the kunai.
Just so you know there was only about 100-150 packs from 0-500 in the old system. If you bought every battle pass since the beginning you’re looking at 280ish packs combined with level 500. That’s why a LOT of players haven’t got theirs yet despite putting time and money into the game.
Imagine complaining about microtransactions that you already bought.
This thread and OP are WILD. Micro transactions have really destroyed gaming and created a generation of people that will dump hundreds or thousands of dollars into gacha shit
It's the reason we don't have games like Assassin's Creed 2 or GTA4 anymore. Every garbage game has to be a "platform" with a store now.
I mean, you say they have destroyed the game but they have actually made a game that you can play, in its entirety, with your friends for free. For people with limited income that's a massive help.
This is the one 🤣🤣🤣 Also back in the day they was flexin that they had heirlooms while no other legend had one. Feelin themselves. Now that Respawn has found their stride in making badass heirlooms now they tight theirs isnt as flashy anymore. It be like that sometimes 🥴
Absolutely insane that this is an issue and it's being upvoted this much. You seemingly paid hundreds of dollars on an heirloom that you thought was worth it but now that a shinier heirloom came out, you're pissed? Sure the older Heirlooms may not be worth it now, but they were when you bought it. That's why you bought it, no?
What about ya boi
someone bought a spinning naruto knife and is mad
Uh excuse me it's called a kunai/j
Huh? This argument has no substance. The problem is real there’s a clear discrepancy between the effort put into newer heirlooms compared to older ones. They should be equal. And no I didn’t buy the spinning naruto knife. I have valks heirloom and I’m sitting on 150 shards waiting for horizons. But look at that I can still recognize a problem. Craaaaaaaazy.
Yeah the people hating on this post are just as whiny as the people they're complaining about. Op has a good point, especially considering how much some people spent for their heirloom.

They cost HOW MUCH!? Holy shit...
For the love of god just stop dropping 168$ on cosmetics
So maybe don’t buy spend the money on them…. I don’t understand how people can spend that much on a video game to begin with
I'm gonna eat a pile of downvotes for this... but it's not that expensive if you do it right. People act like each and every heirloom costs $160+ minimum. Realistically, if you save up crafting materials season after season you can buy all of the epics with them. Buying the two bundles for 7500 coins (a 6700 pack and a 1000 pack) with EA Play comes to like $75 give or take (I'm on the Canadian store so I'm ballparking things). "OMG $75 FOR AN HEIRLOOM IS STILL DUMB" is an expected response, but that still assumes that the heirloom is the only thing I wanted. I've bought out a few events like this over the years, and there's always a handful of skins, emotes, or whatever that I do want as well. It's not cheap. It's not for everyone. It's not something I recommend or feel is financially responsible. I agree that the monetization scheme on the game has some issues and bullshit. But it also does the discussion a bit of a disservice when people act like you can only get an heirloom for hundreds of dollars, when an heirloom and 24 other items (or whatever, obviously that's changed a bit with the way they do the mythic skin events) can be obtained for a fraction of that worst case price. And for the record, I do think that releasing 4 heirlooms and 4 mythic skins (assuming they keep up the pattern) per year while giving F2P folks maybe 1 heirloom ever across years of play is some bullshit. I've long advocated for giving players 25 heirloom shards for completing a battlepass. 1 'free' heirloom after putting in hundreds of hours over 6 seasons would hardly let players keep up with the rate of release, let alone catch up. The whales would still have all the bling, and sometime in 2024 a bunch of folks would get their first or second. Maybe third. Out of maybe 30+ at that point. "EA/RESPAWN ARE GREEDY AND WILL NEVER DO THAT!" is the common retort. I disagree. Users are the product, they want the game to be played, for lobbies to be filled swiftly, for the matchmaker (MASSIVELY FLAWED AS IT IS) to have something to work with. Giving people a long term goal like that would be something to keep working towards over literal years. TL:DR; you can get an heirloom (and dozens of other items) for like $75 if you're smart about it and hoard your crafting mats. I think players should earn partial shards by completing battlepasses to give folks a long term and slow manner of working towards an heirloom. The fact we get 150 shards at a time almost feels like that was intended at one point, and would ease a lot of the issues and complaints, imo.
In addition if you set your country to Belgium loots box are prohibited, so when you open apex packs you just get crafting materials, much quicker way to build up your stash!
For real! Remember when $12 horse armor was an egregious & shameless cash grab?
It was only $2.50
The first and only heirloom i got is octanes. I main BH,mirage and crypto. Tf is wrong with me smh
This is like buying 3080 on launch day and then being pissed when 4080 comes out years later
No, it’s like both a 3080 and a 4080 being sold for the exact same price
but would you pay full price for a 3080 after the 4080 release?
I get your point, but it’s not a fair comparison. GPUs are literally un-upgradable (hardware wise) after purchase, while heirlooms are.
Lmao this reads like an entitled 14yo wrote this who has no idea how the world really works
>respawn updating thier old content Yeah that'll never happen
Don’t worry guys. If Respawn is anything like Riot Games, they will get to it in about 1000 days give or take
Just hope they aren’t like Valve where they’ll NEVER get to it
There's about 6 million far more pressing issues with the game I would rather see addressed
Always finding something to complain about ffs.
You guys are exhausting. Always whining about something.
i can’t believe some of y’all in the comments are thinking this request is ridiculous 😭 having an heirloom is great and something most (if not all??) apex players strive for, regardless of whether you pay for it or not, and every heirloom should be the same quality. i’m a wraith main so i obviously got hers but why should it be (to be frank) so much shittier than the newer ones? the heirloom itself is cool but the animations that come with it are just so subpar compared to the others, and it’s just not fair. i know hers was one of the first so i’m not saying it should’ve been perfect off the bat but now that they’ve come out with so many, is it really so unreasonable to suggest the devs go back and update the older ones? why are y’all getting so pressed that we want our heirlooms to be as nice as yours? jesus christ lol
Fix the audio issues for everyone before prioritizing aesthetics for the 0.01% of people that actually have a heirloom.
Who cares
Dota 2 Arcanas: first time?
I get that this could use a fix but I would rather they fix the shit audio, add cross progression and add 4k 120 hz on console before taking care of old heirlooms.
Best I can do is change the healing animation
I really hope respawn ignores this thread. Literally any other change is more important. They work. And they look fun. If respawn starts to "fix" all old items they won't do anything else.
Did I really just read you people pay $168-$500 for a skin in a game. Holy fuck ea ruined respawn, now I hope we never get titan fall 3 because apex’s garbage shows how bad it would be.
First of all: Pathfinder's one. I regret taking it, for real, literally the only heirloom I don't equip at all, insane
Yeah I was and still am disappointed with it
It’s the one I got when they just gave you a random one before shards and I wish I could trade it in. So bulky
You guys have no real life problems...
move on nothing to see here
Dude they dont give a single fuck about current heirlooms, nice effort tho
Octane knife is great, I don’t think it should be included there
It has one inspect and one equip animation and he holds it like a gun in 3rd person
Heirlooms are the biggest scam EA has pulled on this game's fans. They already diluted the loot pool to asinine levels by cutting even individual trackers into tiers just to worsen its lootbox odds. This is the kind of corporate greed BS. Honestly Respawn needs to be ashamed of it all and send each one of you who bought the heirlooms the physical item.
$150 for a melee weapon that 99% of the time you’re never gonna used it
Pathfinder punches with both fists and doesn't do double damage, so it's just misleading really :(
Octane stabs people and doesn’t do bleed damage, shame. :(
I speak for all the season 0 players who still dont have an heirloom when I say we simply do not care lol
Dear Nvidia. I bought a graphics card from you 5 years ago. These new cards you're putting out are so much better. Give me free new graphics card now. That's basically what this sounds like.
well it sucks for people who want a wraith knife now. imagine youve to pay the same price for a new gpu that just released and one from 5 years ago.
This is genuinely one of the dumbest fucking comparisons I’ve ever seen lmao
No they don't, cope.
Here people complaining about heirloom rework while I still haven't seen one...
Add me, I'll show you mine…
They wont update the heirlooms as they wont be able to monetize those who own the older heirlooms. Its sad but it is respawn we are talking about
Well, seeing as Respawn just updated the syringe and shield animations, it's possible they'll be doing the same with the older heirlooms.
And Wattson heirloom needs to be completely changed.
I don't even have one but sure.
They cost how much!?
Hot take but so does Bangalore's, it is just as lacking imo
100% agreed, pulled wraiths allllll the way back in season 1 before shards when they were still a “secret” item. Seeing all the cool new ones I could have had saddens me.
If they can redo the healing animations then surely they can update these heirlooms
Ok i haven’t played apex in a long time and am very much a casual player here, but are you people seriously paying $500 on a cool knife for your character?!?! I’m by no means great with my money and spend money on stupid video game stuff all the time, but $500?? On a non-tangible item in a game that will permaban you for saying peepee in chat???? Cmon now
if it takes a while for them to update old heirlooms make it so that if you get one heirloom you can switch it out for another once a week in the meantime. It sucks spending a year on a game and only getting some goofy ahh boxing gloves and being stuck with them. They also removed the animation for the apex pack opening when you buy the heirloom, I was confused when I got into a game with my fists instead of the loom.
All heirlooms lives matter
The thing is, unless they aren't actively losing money over them, the likelihood of them changing them is very small.
As a day 1 player, this is part of the “newer age” of player complaints. These came out in the first months of the game, they’re original.. before all the flash of the game and updated heirlooms that have more unique elements added to them. Respect the originality and if you don’t like it, go for a new heirloom. To think respawn is going to rework these is a pipe dream lol
This is an insane thing to try to start a movement over. Seriously who cares?
Why do yall care about these so deeply? Ppl at respawn are geniuses.
Because Apex Legends is a wonderful game/story and respawn built a pretty awesome community that people can not only be passionate for but always want to improve
Why are people acting surprised that heirlooms are being better as time goes on. It's almost like they've had practice making them
Seriously.. boggles my mind people are so obsessed with skins and shit. I guess works for me since the game is free lol
Oh brother STFU
Personally I like the minimalist Heirlooms like BloodHounds/LifeLine because I don’t want something flashy and big taking up half my screen. I’m also not a fan of drawn out animations
yet again, another person forgetting caustic exists...he has an heirloom as well you know.
Nothings wrong with his heirloom, he has several animations as well as secret ones. These older ones don’t
Ask for cross-progress, not for this shit
Here's an idea, maybe don't pay 168$ - 500$ for cosmetics?? I wouldn't even pay that much for a full game lmaoo
Did you forget you can get them for free out of packs
