Re: Worlds Edge needs to change!

@Marge010 It was the right thing to do to remove Refinery and Train Yard. They had trash loot and most of the times you had nothing in your inventory. They replaced Refinery with Climatizer which is a far better POI, but they did not improve Train Yard which is a shame. As of sorting factory, you can like it or not but Lava Syphon is a POI just as good as it was before, even with better loot, and i've seen tons of teams drop there. WE is the best map, but ever since people saw Aceu doing his stuff everybody wanted to do the same, so can't really do anything about people not that intelligent lol.

@Cro_Pittt I never see anyone go to climatizer anymore. When refinery was there I regularly saw squads drop there. Yes there's more loot now but the layout feels awkward and less fun to me. Whenever I drop there (which is rare because my teammates usually drop solo at fragment) there's never any other squads nearby so we loot and then there's only 4 squads left by the time we're ready to fight.

Everyone has different opinions on the maps and for me worlds edge is nowhere near as fun as it used to be which is a real shame. I just miss the old maps

@Marge010 I think you answered yourself. "my teammates drop solo at fragment". Do you seriously believe people would actually stop doing that if refinery was still there? No because 80% of players watch some Aceu's videos and they think they can do the same thing. It will never change, and even if they remove fragment, then probably everyone will drop on Lava Syphon or something else.

If we remove fragment everyone will just switch to Lava Siphon. Wanting the old WE is worse since it was Capitol. Same goes with with SP pubs. People will drop to the nearest big POI that is either cascade falls, or even storm catcher. This problem can also be seen in Olympus where people will drop at power grid, fight night, or docks, the nearest POIs to the repeating drop ship.
I don’t see any solutions to this. We might be looking at the wrong root cause of the hotdropping problem. If I were Respawn, the problem might not be the map but we might need to change how we drop. I still suggest having 2 or 3 different drop ships to really spread the people across the map.

Without these drop ship changes, this will forever be the culture of pubs. Just glad that we have rank where people really spread a lot in WE. This is a culture/mindset problem not a map problem.

@Cheese9Man I've always wanted multiple drop ships. Don't know why it isn't a thing already.

@Cro_Pittt I disagree on the sorting factory having poor loot. I enjoyed that POI a lot more than the new one. The full removal without replacement at trainyard is a move that in unexplainable. Trainyard was a lot of fun.
