Removal of/Improvement of the recall system.

I'm probably gonna be piked because of this, but in my honest opinion.
If you die, you should stay dead until someone revives you.
Or at the very least, if the entire squad dies before anyone can recall, that should be the end of the squad. PERIOD.
No recall after that.
The game is already casual enough as it is with it being 3rd person and with character abilities like Huxley, Kira, Camille, etc.

The recall mechanic is a redundant mechanic that's just annoying to deal with, with people constantly dropping back on top of you, especially when there's ZERO audio of them doing that in most moments due to audio glitches/bugs.
Either remove it or make some improvement like I stated above.
Or make the timer 5 minutes maximum instead of 10+ minutes.

I do agree with the reduction of time, making it 5 minutes instead of 15 is pretty fair imo, it gives players the protection of unlucky drop that resume in losing the race to get a weapon at the beginning. However keeping it longer than 5 minutes makes it that dying has no real impact.

This^
The timer for it is already close to half of a whole match too. lol

If the timer being 5 minutes or, if not that, then like i said before with the "If all my teammates die before i can be recalled, then we lose" would be better.
The timer being 15 minutes and the fact theres basically no real impact of dying at the start within those 15 minutes is much too lenient.

The only people disagreeing are the casuals 🤷

think the recall is great. It keeps fights alive in high contested zones. And if you got wiped out and dont want to revive back in the area you and your team can choose to leave the area to a place with 0 contest. I do agree it should be lowered to first 10mins instead of 15mins. It has led to a lot of big battles on first drops or first airdrop, which makes it more exciting since the map is so massive.

Which can also be solved by increasing the player count.

Lowering it to 5-10 minutes and increasing the amount of players sounds better than what it is right now.
I still think even with all of that, if the whole squad dies before anyone can respawn, then that should be the end of the squad for that match.

Makes it more challenging

@timber oriole Player count is hard to increase due to ping, servers, timezone, and so on... I think that it is better to let people respawn for the first 15 min, while the map is fully open, and when the zone closes enough, then the losers can stay dead... I value intense fights more than tactical gameplay, and if each respawn count as a kill, I'm more than fine with having more targets and more kills while spawn is active...

As a person who played fortnite competitively and been master in apex I think the recall is great, at least in the context of the current game state. Loot disparity based on drop is MASSIVE and the difference in utility and armor allows you to snowball hard by contesting supply drops.

Current recall system allows more contestation of the T1/2 drops and leads to far more interesting early game than almost any other BR at high levels. It doesn't lack strategic depth its just diff from what ppl r used to.

Great points @karmic mica !

[jolly finch]

they need to implement like SUPERVIVE GAME did it.

[timber oriole]

fair opinions all around
The amount time for it i believe is still too long
If the game were first person (which tbh, Id like more, im a first person lover) I wouldnt be as irked by it.
Just feels too easy to me.

[robust jacinth]

there are vehicles, the rat should have to go recall manually, never understood auto or self recall dropping in BRs, but maybe that’s just me.

[knotty chasm]

Its a cool concept and it works well I understand if people don't like it for competitive but to me its a different take on a system implemented in so many other brs and personally I don't think it takes away from any part of the game. Again tho everyone has their own opinions

[delicate wing]

The deal is, in my humble opinion, to keep people on matches for longer, increase the number of fights, and keep the action going while the map is wide open... Then, at half time, when you have less space and "the zone" damage is still low, players can retrieve the orbs and revive manually... And at endgame, it is the survival of the fittest 🙃...
