Ring Damage Bonus or No ring damage inside Gibraltar dome shield

I had two games tonight where my squad was able to defeat another squad in a battle, but got caught by the ring while picking up our injured players and died. In the last game, I was able to take down one enemy, and both of my squad mates fell.  I took out both enemy players, but while reviving my teammates, we got caught in the ring.  Our heals didnt work fast enough to keep us alive, and we all died before we could progress to the next ring.  

Why not have a decreased ring damage bonus given to a squad that wins the battle, to at least allow the heals to work fast enough to keep the squad alive to play on.

Or, at least let Gibraltar's shield stop or reduce ring damage to allow the squad to get back on their feet.  I dont see the point in giving the win to a squad that runs away from a fight!

  • @Dalepeople Everyone chooses where to jump and how to play. In most cases people who jump as far as possible from the ring/zone are the people who are afraid to fight. As we remember from the beginning there were many people winning games while hiding outside the area with a large stock of Phoenix Kit, Medkits and Syringe & LIFELINE's drone 🙂
    Thats why they boosted zone damage and they made the lifeline's drone disappear in a few seconds in the ring.

    One free tip : Jump - take a gun, armor, helmet and go to the zone/fight area. If you're looting gnom and you want to take everything from everywhere then don't complain that the ring is killing you.
  • Being within Gibraltar's shield now accelerates heals, so it *does* help survive in the storm.

    Taking Gibraltar is still a daft pick though...

    Its not getting stuck looting - it's getting stuck in the ring while fighting.  There is nothing more frustrating than being in the ring, winning a tough 1v1 or 1v2 against other squads and then dying in the ring while trying to revive your team mates.  Why not have a reduced ring damage for 30 seconds after downing another squad to encourage players to engage in battles.  Last night the team that ran away from the fight won the game thanks to the ring!

    @TheJumpingJawa Even with his shield up, heals dont work fast enough to keep you alive past round 2. It means that teams have to disengage from a fight to seak shelter from the ring. pretty frustrating.
  • The idea of the ring is to shoo players into the next circle. Anything that might allow players to remain outside the ring could also be exploitable and would undermine the rings purpose.

    Nice suggestion, though. Any ideas and thoughts you have about improving Gibraltar are most welcome and appreciated. 🙂
