Area restriction time
For the last month area shrinking time was the one of the biggest problems for me in this map.

On the one hand I don't want to make people get bored of my scenario. When I played this map for 30+ min it was really boring.
On the other hand I wanted to give you some time to loot and to kill AI without worrying about area restriction too much.

So I tested it. After a week of testing I think that found a happy medium. Area sizes and time that you have now.

Some of you mentioned that it's shrinking really fast.

I want to know is it really shrinking too fast ? What do you think about it ?

PS. It's actually really important. I don't want to break experience for other players. So I won't fix current area shrinking time until I get at least 20 comments from different people.

UPDATE:

+ Added "Extended time" mode (as an option in configurator) - increases time between area shrinkage .

Yes, an option to choose how fast the play area shrinks would be great. I just tried your scenario and the area shrinking was pretty rough, but the rest of it was fine.

The first circle is okay but all of the circles after that close far too fast. I spent the entire game running. The circle is supposed to bring players together so they can fight, it's not supposed to force players to run all game.

Agreed with the above: the ideal would be to give options for how fast the area shrinks, or if that's not feasible, make it shrink a bit slower.

I think players should be able to choose how fast the locations shrink. That way there's no conflict between people over how long or short the time length is.

The zone damage is FAR too unforgiving

I don't think that you need to make the zone shrink any slower as the time seems fair, but the amount of damage you take when outside of the zone is extreme in my opinion. I think 10% every 10ish seconds is more fair than how it is currently.

I think the current shrink rate is too fast for people on foot, but i think a possible remedy for it would be both adding an option to slow it down dramatically for people who land in the countryside, and letting us edit the spawn rates of vehicles so there could be fewer people on foot.

I think same - "map for 30+ min it was really boring." but for new player its too fast! AI skill is not a problem - i think problem is Area restriction time - Meybe in menu (weather, player, skill) add option -less 30 min- and -30+ min- or make antother scenario with mooore Area restriction time? /sorry for bad english/

I agree with what others have said, the shrink time is too fast. I had to disable fatigue as I was running so much. I've only played about 6 games but each time I only kill one person, maybe two, as all I am doing is running to the next area. I've won the game by default at least twice as I was the only one who made it into the blue area and no-one else did. I'd suggest making it configurable if possible.

i have never managed to get to the area in that time and constantly dieing of exhaustion is getting a bit boring.

I think the extended time is fair. Good senario.

I would like to see the option to choose how quickly the circle will shrink (2 mins, 5 mins, etc) & would also like the damage from being outside the circle less intense or give an option to raise or lower it. I personally do not mind long games, but occasionally i like short ones. If I could only choose one or the other I'd choose longer

having played more of it, I can say that even with the extended time, it still shrinks too fast for me to "hoof" it into the next circle. I would prefer more time or definately more (imtermediate?) circles than what we have now. Yet this is one of my favorite scenarios so far. Could you port it to altis?
