It’s true... Some players have difficulty adapting to a game that requires a level of situational awareness that goes above just knowing where the closest enemy is.

Thanks Darth.  You might be happy avoiding gunfights and spending your time camping, but that's not what I came for and it seems like a large majority of the community agrees.  Ring damage is ruining gun battles in the game.  Combine that with the larger season 3 map and current emphasis on mid to long range weapons, and we have ourselves a camping fest.

    @Dalepeople Increasing ring damage is just another independent variable! 😃

    @DalepeopleIf the ring isn’t meant to be a legitimate threat, then it should just be removed altogether. Doesn’t matter, I’ll adapt to whatever the circumstances are. Like I said, some struggle with this sort of thing.

      I disagree - the point of the ring is to bring people closer together on the map as the # of people in the game diminishes.  Otherwise the game never ends.  So the ring has a purpose - but that purpose shouldn't be to eliminate teams.

      We won a game last night because the ring eliminated all the other teams.  No final gun fight, no action.  Nothing fun about winning like that.

      We also lost 2 games where we had a player down and tried to revive him, only to have the ring overtake us before we could get back into the final fight.  Out of the 5 games I played last night, 3 were decided by ring damage.  I'm not sure how anyone can defend that as being good game design.

        The ring is a constant threat you have to take into consideration constantly. Make a mistake with it and you are gone, its the same for everybody so its a level playing field.

        I got caught with a small ring being on 2 sides of a mountain, with 4 squads left and had to make a choice. I made the wrong choice, but got killed by the other squad who had also made the same wrong choice, they promptly passed away too. So be it!
