Gameplay
Elimination Prevention & V-Pad
Thank you all for the incredible amount of feedback on the Elimination Prevention system introduced with Season 7. As this is a significant change to gameplay, we’ve received a wide range of perspectives and suggestions from various play scenarios.
Some of the most common feedback includes increased congestion during Day 2 objective fights due to more teams getting involved, as well as reduced tension in early battles and a diminished sense of reward after winning battles. Many high-elo players have also shared that the Elimination Prevention duration feels excessively long.
On the other hand, engagement-related metrics have shown notably positive results compared to the previous preseason. While it's still early and the data set is limited, gameplay within the Light Zones has shown clear improvements.
We take concerns from our core players very seriously and do not take them lightly. That said, these results don't mean the current system is final but they rather show promise and validate continuing this experiment while making improvements. With both positive indicators and room for improvements, we believe it's worthwhile to maintain the system a bit longer as we test and evolve it further.
It’s also important to note that gameplay in preseason and ranked can differ greatly. For example, revival penalties in Ranked are likely to have a much stronger impact on how players approach each match, potentially leading to significant shifts in playstyles.
Starting with the launch of the Ranked season in update 1.43.1, we’ll be closely monitoring the Elimination Prevention system for one week. Based on the data collected, we plan to explore and consider a range of adjustment options in the upcoming 1.44 major update to enhance both the system’s stability and the overall game flow.
We’ve also received a lot of feedback about the Quickslot for calling Remote Drones being moved to the Crafting Menu (B). While our intent was to unify item and crafting functions into a single place, especially with the planned removal of other V-Pad information, this change caused unintended inconvenience for many of you.
Unlike other crafting elements, Quickslot is often used in urgent situations. Many of you expressed a strong preference that it remain accessible without obstructing the screen.
We’ve heard your feedback you and thus, we’re developing a popup especifically for the Quickslot, separate from the V-Pad. Our goal is to bring it to you in the 1.44 update next week, and we're working hard to deliver it as quickly as possible.
