Ring Death Timer

So can we just address that this is actually such a bad thing. Got caught in a ring fight round 1, got looted as fast as possible and sent in our dead friend. With about 10 seconds left another squad comes in from ring 1 just before 2 begins closing -- and we get in a small fight , we wipe them fast, and we are very far (it's the furthest from the ring possible fml). And as we start getting in recover mode... we set an evac and then I begin getting a timer !!!! wtf!? so I end up dying in a ticking ring 2 with enough meds to get to next ring , but because this time just instantly began ticking, I died.

What is the point of a ring closing when you just start a death timer as we get hit with the ring tick after having to struggle our way through the first couple fights in the game? If you want to do that just put the ring pressure as a ring 4 death ticks when 2 is closing. It's a stupid thing to do. If you can't figure a way to deal with the rats in the ring popping med kit after med kit I think you need some new ideas . Because i'm sorry to say, but that is such a poor design. We have a pressure of a ring ticking but that's not enough just send an insta death timer on top of it x_x.

  • It’s fascinating that people ask this question.

    the perspective is wrong.

    the question becomes irrelevant.

    the question is why did you allow yourself in that position to begin with?

    Seconded. The ring is a given. The timer is a known variable. Take it into account or get killed by it. It really is that simple. Otherwise what's really being said is, as always, "I hate battle royale and wish Respawn would get rid of the ring and the looting." @DashCamDaddy: It's called Team Deathmatch.
  • @DashCamDaddy I get it! I would have to agree. I've been playing since Season 0 & had just about every scenario Apex has to offer. There are situations I will have to guide my Random teammates that are being gruesomely attacked by the storm, they fall maybe twice & I have the knowledge to know they won't make it or know to have enough heals, I like to be hero ;-)

    How about RANK ONLY TIMERS because the player base in pubs don't have the skill to nor is it necessary the more, I think on it.

    "How about RANK ONLY TIMERS because the player base in pubs don't have the skill to nor is it necessary the more, I think on it."

    Just WHAT? The player base in pubs don't have the skill????? You've just hurt the feelings of this 30k match week one player who thinks rank grinds are for children and teenagers who doubt their other endowments. 😉

    @MrGreenWithAGun This is what I feel is right. We've all been there in a horrible spot compared to where the ring goes. If you drop edge and fight, you have to know you might get bad ring rng.

    @reconzero lol, I'm sorry but they have enough freebies: Control consoles, Replicators, a map SCANNER to identify enemies' location! Heck! I was here when someone landed next to me, there was no indication of ANY! lol I understand both parties, it's just a tough subject
