First circle is way to small

Sometimes, when you land on the edge of the map in an area like Lava Fissure, Overlook and so on. The first Ring comes in and it so far and when you are at the "larger side" of the ring and get in so...

Thanks for the feedback. Would you prefer a similar game length overall or for it to be longer?

Enlarging/delaying ring 1 would necessitate increasing the speed of (the much more dangerous) subsequent ring collapses or lower later round times, which of these would you prefer?

Please, keep it coming.

@EA_David Perhaps just adding 60 seconds to the first ring countdown is a solution. That should only increase match length by about one minute on average. This would help in the situations that @DarthValtrex describes. Situations that I find myself in fairly regularly.

@DarthVaapar I like that idea. Perhaps even a bit of refinement on the warnings the legends give about ring closure. Add a bit of language to each legend, "If we want to stay ahead of the storm we need to leave now" and have that based on the players distance from the ring. They would need to play with it a bit, but the if they are on the far side of the map and will need let's say a minute head start to stay out of the ring, then at a minute the legend speak up and say hey we need to leave now..

Toss in a few well placed jump towers and/or zip lines and I think that would be a good start. You'll still have players who push looting to the limit and complain about it. You'll still have players who get into gun fights and get stuck in the storm anyway. But it happens, you can't edit some of that out of the game.. It's just sort of part of it. I also feel like knowing you don't have time to finish a gun fight is part of game play.

  @DarthValtrex It’s absolutely part of the gameplay, and one that I really appreciate. Your position, relative to the ring, is more important in WE than it ever was in KC. To me that’s a definite improvement.
