12 More weeks of Fragment drops …. Why?

“Hey want to play apex?” “Sure, what map is it on though?” “Worlds Edge” “oh nah never mind I’m not dropping fragment for two hours.” 

Why would you choose the map with the most static try hard drop spot to go with this new map. Please nuke this whole town off that map. After wiping out two of the best alternative drops on this map (sorting factory, train yard) here we are again with this garbage. It’s getting old.

  • At this point where we have four maps already available we should get ability to choose on which map we can play (at least in public matches).

  • @Elleauxelle I was disappointed as well. So sick of landing there. They could have kept Olympus in the rotation rather.

    You know what I miss? The original World's Edge before it got destroyed, that was a great map to play.
  • @PsyhiX69 i would personally like this so i dont have to play storm point but that would thin out the playerbase too much, people would still just go to worlds edge to hot drop
  • I do not do well hot dropping so I get annoyed at the repeated hot drops into Fragment.  I know why they do it, but I end up knocked or dead 9 times out of 10.  Just not fun for me.

  • @Elleauxelle Pfffft, fragment drops are relaxing trips compared to 4 squad drops in areas where isnt enough loot even for one squad on new map
  • KC - Crash site / Capacitor

    Olympus - Oasis / Fight ring

    WE - Fragment east / Skyhook

    Strom - Mill / Barometer / Checkpoint

    It is not the map issue given people will drop mainly influenced by the facts:

    1. where is the best loot
    2. where streamers drop to get the highest possible KP (most of the regular folks will fail to replicate that but still will try)
    3. no matter the place, if most teams e.g. 5+ go to one place there will be 5 more seeing that as a potential for easy early KP and will drop with them, it can be even in the middle of nowhere, just need to have the first 3-4 triggering teams
    4. KP is a higher priority for most here vs placement

    What can be done by Respawn - more even loot distribution, and that's pretty much it.

    Rest is up to us = the community to figure out. As long as we will worship streamers who in turn will drop in the busiest places to actually farm kills given how big is the skill gap between them and a regular public player POI like Fragment will be there and will reappear as soon as streamers come up with the next Fragment. That's the trend that I see here.
