Lobby Freeze issues

This game is super fun to play but ever since the game has updated there has been issues. While in the lobby talking to other players, or even doing emotes the game will freeze out of nowhere. Causing everything to freeze but you can still hear the other player or the player in the group character will disappear but you can still hear them as well. I’ve been playing this game for over 6-7 years & I’ve never had a problem till now. Also my volume says that it’s “Low” while in matches which I’m not understanding because before it never did that & my volume is up 100% but people still have a hard time hearing me. It’s so frustrating with the new update meanwhile I just want to play for fun! Garena PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS BUG! Also it also says “Network Error” Not sure why because I have a steady network & WiFi that works just fine so I’m not understanding that either, just so many bugs within this update that doesn’t make the game enjoyable as it once was before this update.

Hacker issues and developers don’t care

I’ve been playing this game for over three years and have advanced my character significantly but after three years I noticed the increase of hacking. Now when I play I notice when there are hackers in the game you have no chance to win or even survive. The only penalty these hackers face is a minimal negative mark on their reputation. It does nothing and shows how you don’t care about the people spending money. I know you can do more to stop this but you don’t. I’m sure the loss of people, like me, who spends real money will hurt this franchise so that is why I wrote this. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME. Also as the developers changed the seasons skins and clothing purchased is sometimes taken away, even if purchased with REAL money. So you’ve wasted my money too. I looked pass that in the past because I love the game but now it’s too much. YOU KNOW OF THE HACKERS BUT REFUSE TO HAVE ACTIVE MODERATORS TO KICK THEM OUT. Maybe you will take better care of your real clients (people who spend money) after some time with no income from this highly played game. Make a choice. The hackers or your clientele. The hackers don’t pay money. We do. Im sure you will not change since you haven’t after multiple complaints. I want all my money back and if you spent any money… you should ask for yours as well.

Fun But Unfair

The game is really fun to play with lots of different modes and gun skins. However, the game often pairs more experienced players with new players. This is fine in the low stakes matches but when in ranked mode this is simply unfair. In these ranked matches there will often be players without internet who are AFK or bots. Garena leaves these players in the match and forces the other team to go against a full team of four. If a player is afk for more than one round kick them out! Or end the match! My rank should not suffer for other people not having internet. In addition, as a player in the North America region, I see that my region does not have the same access to events and diamond opportunities as in other regions. In order to get literally anything players have to spend money in real life for diamonds. Lastly, many of the exclusive outfits are only for male characters. If I spend my diamonds on an exclusive skin I as a female player would like to play as a female character but then I can’t use my very expensive outfit because I’d have to play as a male character. It’s degrading and this is part of the reason why there isn’t a larger female player base. Make this game more equal!

Love the game, 2018 player.

I’ve been playing this game since 2018, I LOVE it. My complains about it, it’s the abilities, because it used to be competitive only because abilities weren’t so weird. The purpose of having a gloo wall goes to trash because of the ability that makes it so that you can kill people through it. Dimitri has me SICK along with Sonia, but the fact that you keep lowering Tatsuya’s ability for NO reason. What’s the purpose? now you can only use it once every 2 minutes, you can’t run away from the zone or enemies like you used to. The rank itself was fine but putting SO MANY? Too much, that makes it harder and tires me out. Veterans left because competition was gone after you started putting abilities, not rankings.

My review. A player that’s been around since the 3rd anniversary.

So when I first started playing I immediately fell in love with this game. It was fun, challenging, social and you had to get used to the system of the game to actually get good. Around the start of 2022 I started losing interest since they removed the world chat. I loved the world chat since I could talk to other people and team up. And I met some great people to. However you do have to pay money to get things such as cool emotes and cosmetics. Funny enough I spent around $150 USD. I left the game. Why? Toxic players, scammers, dull gameplay, boring game modes, and boring maps (excluding Bermuda. I loved that map with all my heart.) since then I came back to the game twice just to uninstall again. it hurts seeing my favorite mobile game destroy itself. Then again it’s hardly an uncommon fate. If someone is reading this and your thinking about downloading this game then I recommend you should, if you like a third person shooter and interesting system that takes time to get used to. Might get boring after a while though.

Language pack download failed error

After the update when I opened and subsequently, whenever I opened the app an error comes saying ” failed to access language pack download failed retry?” And When I tap on re-try it again come the same thing 5 times and and on the 6th try again says error It says continue in the original language English, then it opens and I didn’t select any language and don’t even know how to do so 😂 And I use it in the English language only Being Indian and an iOS user I use American App Store and play from there but I don’t think that’s the issue. Please fix it because it irritates and wastes time If it’s an issue with my I’d please let me know I will provide that also Thanks regards

Alpha cares!

As far as am concerned, the game seems extremely unparalleled! I don’t know what it seems to others playing it, however, that’s my own perspective of the game. I’m a newbie to the game and ever since I started playing it, was when I realised there’s still more mysterious to be unravel in the world of ours lol. Moreover, since I’ve started playing the game, I’ve forgotten about all others cos I’m getting all the satisfaction needed from the game. So, I don’t think I need any others. Plus, there was a particular gun I felt in love with therein the game, MP40(cobra). However, it’s so sadden the gun had been peeled off before i started playing. So, my question now was that, would the gun still come out ?

This game is REALLY good but REALLY bad

Garena should really fix their game. One, the hit boxes are dumb. People can shoot you after you hide behind a wall and somehow you still take damage or if it’s a one shot weapon you die. Two, if we have 200 health how come 2 bullets that do 150 damage not kill someone? Again, with other weapons the same thing the math doesn’t add up. It’s like they have more health. I know some characters offer extra health but no more than 50. So this is ridiculous ☠️three, pairing up. The pairing up in this game is unbelievable. You can get paired up with rookies even if you a veteran. It’s impossible to take on the opponent team when the rest of your team is useless. And the other team is filled with people your level. It’s just not fair. And four, the Diamond prices are ridiculous 😫 like on the item shop that’s ridiculous when in events you can gets them like 80% off y’all should rlly fix that
