Feitz: “Event hot drops should be floating islands only 👏” – Do you agree with Feitz?

Unfortunately after the Mecha Fusion update, I must bring up this tweet from Feitz again – he is right. Skyhigh Spectacle was a huge success and Mecha Fusion has gone down like a lead balloon.

I’ll start this critique by saying it comes in good faith from someone who has played PUBG Mobile for over five years and wants to see the game thrive.

The Mecha Fusion event mode that came with update 3.2 is terrible.

The fact that it followed the superb Skyhigh Spectacle event mode in update 3.1 made it appear even worse.

I don’t need to go into the overpowered robot as there are plenty of posts about that issue.

A huge problem with Mecha Fusion and other previous events is the hot drops are on the main map. Players land there, get eliminated, land straight back at a hot drop, and get eliminated again. This results in around 30 players remaining before the first zone has even closed, many of which are bots.

This destroys the later stages of the match. Whichever team wins at each Steel Ark is left to spend the rest of the match running around in an overpowered vehicle, cleaning up whoever is left. Matches where I have had double-digit eliminations and won have been extremely boring.

Please stop putting hot drops on the main map. Event hot drops should always be on a floating island.

One of the excellent features of Skyhigh Spectacle was that when you leave or are eliminated from Nimbus Island, you are placed at a seemingly random part of the zone. As you cannot return to the floating islands, there are much more players remaining, fairly evenly spread throughout the zone. This results in plenty of unique battles to enjoy throughout the match.

Skyhigh Spectacle's hot drop was well designed. The island was walled off and there were limited places to camp, players had to fight. I’m not saying it was perfect, however, as I don’t think it should have been possible to teleport to the top of the ship’s mast to camp out players from above, and the extra recall you gain from the genie was unnecessary. On average, the strongest team wins, and they do not need an extra recall. The reward should always be top-tier loot, lots of it.

Key suggestions for future events:

Event hot drops should always be on a floating island with no ability to return.

Leaving or being eliminated from a floating island must place you at a random location in the zone.

Leaving or being eliminated from a floating island should leave you with one recall life available from a recall tower. The strongest team does not need an extra recall.

Please, no more overpowered vehicles like the Mecha or T-Rex.

Thank you for considering these suggestions. I would love to hear yours. Let’s work together to keep PUBG Mobile thriving.
