Re: World's edge makes me not want to play.

Yes. This. World's Edge has horrible spacing and loot elements. When it's on battle royale I stop playing or switch to arena.

The map feels huge but there are very few places where there is even enough loot to gear up a single squad. I have gone into a cluster of buildings and found nothing but ammo, attachments, or grenades way too many times. NOT ENOUGH WEAPONS FOR HOW BIG THIS MAP IS.

The conflict zones are abysmal. The broken buildings are 4/5 stories with partial ropes up, maybe stairs, but finding your mates in time to help or get help in a fight is just luck, often no luck. Hearing the footsteps and weapons fire all around you and not being able to discern a useful path up/down/away is too chaotic and confusing. Turning a corner and eating a mag happens all the time. But when you get space to operate/coordinate you're often nowhere near anyone and end up racing the circle (which puts you on your heels quickly here, it seems to close faster).

I do not like this map. It makes me not want to play as well.

    The loot is RNG, saying there is "not enough guns" doesn't make sense. 
    There absolutely is. 

    Sometimes you will get 6 guns in a single building on Capitol

    and sometimes you will get only 1 or 2. 

    Also Capitol is one of THE most fun places to play in the entire game out of all maps.
    Your guys critique is not even valid about positioning. 

    Position is part of the games tactics. 
    I casually walk across Worlds Edge without issue if you have any game sense and awareness of teams etc. 
    It's literally never a problem IF you know how and where to move to get through each area without issue. 

    And if you have problems then play Octane or Valk and you literally reposition instantly. 
    Like... the critique you guys have of this map is something you just use your brain to overcome EASILY 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

    It doesn't mean the map is bad, the map is great, it's your brains guys 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

    @Metr🤭dinLoot is garbage on all three maps. They need to implement some sort of range based rules for loot. "If no gun within x distance, this loot item becomes gun." "If x gun is within y distance, don't be x gun." Honestly it's not hard. I should never find 9 G7s in Lobbas restaurant. (Also found 7 Mozams before the buff.) Loot is what drives the game. Part of me thinks they have a system set up that spawns loot based on your previous performance in spots near you because you aren't allowed to have fun and need to be a sacrifice to make the lesser skilled players feel skilled.

    But he wasn't talking about what spawns so much as there not being enough spots for loot to spawn consistently.

    @Metr🤭din this map has gotten so worse since it's orgininal launch its unreal.
    Literally every single new POI has been completely trash and completely blocks the mapflow. I'm glad that reactor is gone soon. For one these locations look so out of place on the map and second they completely break/block certain areas where previously you wouldnt have had anything in your way.

    This being said. None of the current map are actually good in my oppinion. Every single one has certain problems that need to be fixed.

    Kings Canyon is to small and therefore has way too many third parties.
    Olympus is too open.
    Worlds Edge has too many POIs and buildings and not enough in other places and basically only 2 or 3 real POIs

    If I wanted to play TDM I would go play COD or if you want to stick to the apex universe than go play titanfall. Having one hotspot is a very poor design for a battle royale. The game becomes very stale and boring because you have to land in that one spot every single time you play on that map. If you don't land there then you will find nobody to fight and you are running around all game figuring out where the last team is in the 2nd ring. There are many games I have played on worlds edge where there is only 1 team left going into the 2nd ring, because they all die in fragment. Going onto your point of just use a specific character to reposition to find someone is not a good point. Variety makes a game fun and fragment sorry worlds edge doesn't have any variety.
