Horrible game for newbies

Just started playing today, and I'm probably not going to be playing again. First off, I don't know shiz about the legends or the maps, so I'm trying to learn as I go. But secondly, there seems to ...

    No one seems to be addressing my main concern though.  My biggest complaint isn't about the  mechanics or anything.  I need to get better at finding the guns and ammo, sure, but the problem is the long wait time inbetween if you die too early.

    Moreso than not getting the practice in, it's really boring haha.

    If you guys die early, do you leave and join new games, or just stay and watch?

    Wait till your respawn timer runs out and leave or if you see your team is not intrested in respawning you just leave. Start new game. Simple! Dunno why you wait 10 minutes or longer..

    ^ Bingo

    Your teammates have a limited amount of time to go grab the banner from your loot box. If they fail to get it within that time-frame, by all means you are welcome to leave the game if you don't want to spectate them. 

    If you're concerned about dying early in the game and waiting X amount of minutes for your teammates to revive/respawn you, there's a couple things that could be happening here. 

    1. You might not be dropping and/or staying close enough to your teammates. This is a team-based game and 3v1 or 2v1 is always better than 1v1 or 1v2 or 1v3. GREAT teams will have squadmates that stay close together. 3 players focus firing on 1 player is devastating. 
    2. You're dropping into heavily populated areas often. We all drop into hot zones as it's part of the game. Some areas will give you better loot, but by doing that there comes a huge risk: more players fighting for it. If you're new to the game I personally recommend dropping later than others into areas where you don't see enemies heading towards. This way you have more time to get used to the map, weapons, and game mechanics.

    There is no leave penalty in the game so you can leave when you want to without any consequences, but it's HIGHLY encouraged to wait until your whole squad is wiped out until you exit the game (unless your respawn ability timed out). If someone in your squad is still alive, you haven't lost yet.

@OwhyeeOutlawlol you still missed the point of the post.  I didn't complain about the mechanics at all.  The only thing I said I needed to learn was the Legends and the maps, and the bulk of the post was about the time spent after dying.

@datal0g@Fury_of_Duck thanks for the input.  I was only waiting 10+ minutes because I wasn't sure what was going to happen in the game since it's not covered in the mandatory tutorial.  I saw a round timer on the left, so tried to wait for that to go down to 0, thinking it might restart the game again, but it just went to round 2 or whatever.

Then I thought maybe I have to wait for everyone to die but that was taking too long, so I guess I will have to keep joining new games once I die. I do always wait for the respawn timer to hit 0 as well.  Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong (like press Enter to respawn or some shiz like that).

I shouldn't have titled the post what I did.  Causing a lot of misunderstandings.  I have zero problem with the mechanics, it's a basic run and gun game. 

The title was just part of my frustration and kneejerk reaction of not being able to play as much as I wanted I guess!

Tkim228, i get what your saying, and I'll say it again the game is SIMPLE to learn. I'm not sure I'm really buying into anything for saying at this point.... you have played 5 to 6 games and then you searched out the internet to find this forum, spent time creating a account to post then continue to post when your not comprehending what advice your being given. Either your trolling the forum or there's a good chance you just need to stop trying to play the game...
