Timeout when in circle is VERY DUMB
I got caught in probably the furthest circle I've encountered since I started playing this game. Why is there a timeout for being out of zone? Seriously, the dumbest mechanic, and redundant for no re...

@RaginSam I went back and looked. You have to be in ring 4.5 minutes for the 1 minute timer to start towards your death. That's a lot of time to spend in the ring.

When can you even be in a ring for that long?! They close faster than that. You keep approaching the forums like the game runs flawlessly and has no bugs.
I got out of the first circle, crafted a banner, got caught in the second circle while grabbing meds off of a couple death boxes, then the timer started almost immediately.
You’re missing the point, the game was designed to have no benefit staying in the circle. There should be NO timeout mechanic! Simple as that. It’s a lazy fix. There is zero reason for it being in the game.
@RaginSamI don't act like this game doesn't have bugs. It could very well be that your timer got messed up and there's a bug. Only you would know that though and if it happened report it. You mention being in the ring multiple times. I do not believe the timer resets. It cumulative like the OOB timer.
As for whether it's in the game, I personally do not care. It has no affect on my gameplay.I recently had a game where this became an issue for me. Idk if I can leave a link but I'll try. At about the 18 minute mark is when it happens. My team and I take a fight at the edge of ring, I get downed & my teammates do nothing to help me and then they decide to run back even further into the ring instead of going to a replicator inside the next ring. I then advised them not to respawn me back there cause it's so far for us to travel. They inevitably go down after going the wrong direction & as soon as I make it out of the ring & avoid the secondary timer, I go back in so I can craft & I immediately die. That's the only complaint I have about this system & why I was looking up a post like this because why do I die if I got out in time? The timer should have reset or something as soon as I got out. I really hope that someone at Respawn sees this and looks into it.
Backup if the link above doesn't work.
