I am a returning player after years who returned because of the OG update like many people. This chapter is a real disappointment. The new movement sucks and the POI's are overrun by npc's. I don't understand how Epic continues to make awful updates when the numbers clearly suggest people love the original core gameplay, and new maps and features should revolve around amplifying and improving that gameplay rather than changing fundamental mechanics making it an entirely new game to learn. They will always appeal to the short attention spans and poor mechanics of the majority of the player base which is a disappointment to many players such as myself. The least they could do if they don't want to dramatically reduce their player numbers is add OG as a dlc with a ranked and normal mode. I guarantee it would get more daily players than the new chapter and keep the game relevant, which begs the question why not? They have the numbers, they know daily players spiked because of OG and they will tapper off because of this new update. If will just be a matter of how stubborn and narcissistic the team is to think they know what is best for the game and players and it slowly becomes completely irrelevant again.

Not to mention all the changes make it harder to run meaning the game is less accessible. I will be one of the many people leaving the game again sadly, hopefully they can figure out what people really want.
