And why is ring 1 closing so fast all of a sudden? This don't sit well when Respawn wants me to traverse about a POI collecting materials so I can craft a 2x, and suddenly I am engulfed in ring 1, having to stroll across half the map to get out of it. And I take more damage from it? Come on now, Respawn.
@CCbathwater I have yet to play but I think the ring closing faster is to promote faster rotations. Maybe even promote less hot dropping as you'll be dead to ring by the time you kill the 8 teams you landed with.
- @hayhor But... how? As landing edge POI's doesn't give you time to do much before you have to run, if you're unlucky with next zone, that is. I almost feel forced, as Lifeline, to land centre map now. Not Bunker though, will never land there.
I doubt hot-droppers will care. They'll just leave and queue up again.- @CCbathwater Do you mean how as in the hotdropping? As I said, you will be punished for it because you won't even be done fighting before the ring starts to close. So you people should land in less contested areas, loot fast and then move. The issue is as you mention, edge droppers also need to move faster.
This change is probably great for stormpoint but KC it's likely brutal due to the small map.Where are most of the Hot drop locations, oh yeah pretty central so the ring does not change that and well the hot droppers will change to a more central local otherwise.
Edge dropping was and is great for actually avoiding the congested hot dropping areas and encouraged tactical play, now the new ring mechanic is removing the edge drop and forcing more central and congested/contested drops.
