As Season 18 of Apex Legends approaches, players are eagerly anticipating the upcoming changes and additions to the popular battle royale game. One particular change that has caught the attention of the community is the removal of Dive Trails in Ranked matches, which will be replaced with Banner Frames as season-end rewards.
However, the Apex Legends fan base has expressed its desire for an alternative solution rather than the complete removal of Dive Trails in Season 18. A post on the Apex Legends subreddit proposed a simple yet effective idea: to introduce visibility options for Dive Trails. Instead of entirely discarding these beloved features, players could have the option to choose who can see their Dive Trails, with choices such as 'just me,' 'just me and my team,' or 'everyone.'
This proposal gained significant support in the comments section, with players expressing their belief that Respawn Entertainment should have pursued this approach from the start. Many fans have a genuine attachment to Dive Trails and would be disheartened to witness their disappearance from the game. They are hoping that Respawn will consider their feedback and listen to the majority of the community that is against the removal.
Some players speculate that the decision to remove Dive Trails may be linked to the dissatisfaction surrounding Season 17's Ranked season. During that season, the point system made it easier for more players to earn Dive Trails, and it's possible that this led to an unintended imbalance. However, players feel that outright removal is not the right solution to address any issues that might have arisen.
Moreover, some are voicing concerns that the removal of Dive Trails could be a strategic move to encourage players to purchase them in the in-game store instead. This fear has added to the overall apprehension about the upcoming changes.
As of now, the exact plans for handling the removal of Dive Trails in Season 18 remain unknown. Nonetheless, the community's reaction indicates that there is a strong desire for Respawn to reconsider this decision and explore more player-friendly alternatives. The developers have the opportunity to address the fans' concerns and ensure that Season 18 is met with excitement and approval from the Apex Legends community.
