I hate this new drop system. It makes it where you cannot figure out consistent loot patterns who how people rotate to your POI not to mention sometimes you don't even land at a POI. I would like to see it back to the way it was or a better pattern
Why is it hard to figure out a loot pattern? You literally are dropped on a POI that has loot. Loot and go to the next POI or scan for enemies near you. What you're saying doesn't make sense. Your rotation pattern rarely is about loot and typically is more about picking smart fights. How is the new POI system worse off in terms of picking smart fights? It seems way better to me.
When you play casual you can land in the same spot over and over and learn how you and your friends loot to loot quickly and rotate into a team. When you get placed at completely random POI’s with some of them on the outside of the map, we end up spending most of first circle looting because we have no clue the pattern of looting that POI. So then we are running from zone all game or getting rotated on before we can actually loot. Go back to being able to land anywhere or let us choose where we want to land at the beginning. I just want to see it be better. This one feels like the game controls so much more of the outcome (with zones and loot) instead of me as the player being able to be more consistent in my gameplay.
Drop and movement patterns are different than before, but I'm finding them to still be very predictable. The one big change for me is that if the game chooses a center-of-map drop for me then I don't even want to play the match. I had one the other day where I felt really sandwiched between three other squads, one of whom swerved on drop to land with us. So there's the hot drop fight this was all meant to stop. We won, but there was no time to get ready for the next inbound squad. It was a disaster, and the next time it happened I just landed, put the controller down, and walked away for ten minutes. Unintended consequences, Respawn. Look it up.
IDK, I know the maps well enough that I can loot quick at any POI. Also before you drop, you can see where all the adjacent enemies are and their POIs so you at least know where the teams to your right, left, etc. are. Just loot quick, pick a direction to rotate and go. That process is way better than a hot drop with 5+ teams in the same spot and a crapshoot at decent weapons and meds.
How is that any different than a hot drop? Land, loot, pick a direction to rotate and rotate into a team. Or scram in a direction to the edge of a map into another team to stay away from getting 3rd partied.
Hot off the presses
Thats what happens when most of the Playtesters are EA Creators ... you barely will get an unbiased opinion und likely end up with stuff like this, same old same old
It does seem like a very odd thing to introduce imo.
