Blue stair RNG

[Doyle216]

So safe to say it's entirely possible to get screwed over by no available extract RNG if you spawn into a lobby late? Or at the very least you now have to start searching for a viable extract as soon as you spawn in, then start looting and killing. This is such a bad change I don't even know what to do.

Seems that way... you have less time to do anything, less containers/mobs available, far too many players, fewer escapes, RNG map generation for quest locations, and now less rewards. Seems like they're just trying to make the game as tedious and annoying as possible with all the changes this season. Maybe they will add some DLC that gives you better drop rates or access to exclusive escape stairs lol. Can always uninstall for a while and come back later.

fortunately all the first level areas have guaranteed static escapes:

North and south bridge > Ruins (Stays open till the end of the match)
Lift > Goblin Caves (Last lift leaves at 1:30 left on the escape timer)
West and East Raft > Ice caves (has a ship icon on the map, think the last ship leaves at 3 minutes left)
Course you can also always go down to give yourself extra time since escapes open early.. can't say the same for goblin caves though.

they aren't always viable to use, that's the issue we come too. The most practical is ice caves everything else takes too long, a better idea if to have the blue stairs open back up after 3-4 minutes

Another suggested there be a lever that takes 10 or so sec to open the extract and then it stays open for like 30 or 60 seconds, then closes. I think it's the best suggestion I've seen so far. How do we get the devs to see something like this?
