Community AdminI actually wanted this mode to be good. But I can't really say I enjoyed it. At the very end it's pretty hectic and chaotic, and it's fun! Had a lot of that split second, high intensity, chaos fueled decision making that I really enjoyed during the pre-season of Apex Legends. But do you always make it to the end? No. Not really an event issue, rather just an issue with personal enjoyment so take that last comment with a grain of salt.
But the ring is so slow. 9 minutes to get to the center? Come on man, you might as well have called it, "Always be closing but you're in no real rush." Ring damage is a joke as well. Here I was thinking that even having a toe in the ring would be harshly penalized, but it's not. My last match I was staring at the same Wraith in the final ring for about 3 second after everyone was engulfed in it. No one's panicking to out-heal ring damage, everyone's just got their guns out shooting away like normal. Wraith had enough time to knock two opponents and kill my teammate who was self reviving all within 2 magazines of an R99.
I love it. Great mode and the ring speed was fine if a bit fast as it made me feel the pressure constantly, but I loved a long run and gather if we jumped some distance from the final ring. There was also more of a sense of freedom to drop a bit away from the squad if I wanted and catch up later on.
I got the feeling that squads were more spred out looking for loot for the finale. The funneling was fantastic and the insanest final ring played today had 9 squads in it, needless to say I was an observer at that point, but thanks in no small part to my taking one for the team.... We won😃 There is a very interesting winning tactic to be utilized in the final circle😉
The only issue was that if I dropped north of sky hook and the final circle was on the dome, as soon as the circle started decreasing, the edge of the circle immediately jumped to lava fissure and I got fried as the damage given was as if i had stayed where i was while the circle moved from sky hook to lava fissure. Needless to say I only got scorched in this way once, maby it was a deliberate part of the mode, you can creep but not that far lol.
