1 player taking the stairs will make a lot of people quit

[Double N'wah]

Simple as. Big loot, full inventory, doing great. Get to the stairs already taken, no indication it was not a real exit. No other exists visible for 5 whole minutes running around with crap behind me trying to find an exit. Eventually pinned against a wall by a goblin archer and shot down while I tried to open a door. I might uninstall myself, exits need reworking.

totally agreed, but it's an extraction game so the hardcore theme also fits a bit.

You have ropes, you have elevator, you have portals escapes, really there is enough escapes for the entire lobby to escape 1 and a half time if not more depending on the map.

Theres no logical explanation why the stairs cant be taken by 2 people, a rope and portals yea but stairs dont just disappear.

The problem is youre assuming stairs are an exit, walk into them and nothing happens. Then you already had several dudes chasing you, so now youre just running through everything. I ran and ran, ended up at the lich boss underground or w.e, tried to find an exit and ran around his space collecting skeletons, went back the way I came (still no blue exits visible) and climbed up a thing, kept running went east instead of west since no exits on west at all, no blue exits visible on map still. Opening doors more dudes chasing me, trying to close the doors but you have to stand still for some reason to slam a door as you run by it. Still no exits visible. End up in some tight room, goblin archer natural blocks the door, tried jumping around him ended up pinned in the corner. Opening opening opening dead.

At no point were any exits visible that I was even running to, time would have ran out anyways. The stairs were *the only* exit. No rope no portals I never saw nothing but stairs.

TLDR I will never finish a full inventory again and will proceed to exit literally the second they open, thats not desirable from a game dev standpoint.

learn the maps better, tons of ways to get out, rope and elevator, if you're playing with duo or trio clear extract areas before rather than later, portals also show up on the map (3 people can leave)

I have no friends I only play solo. I hear in duos people Q with randoms and then immediately TK them for their stuff.

My issue is I found an exit and it didnt work, and I had like 3 blue items its normally just green trash I cant even wear. So I did everything right, but the stairs wouldnt let me exit. Thats crushing.

Do note you can report that behavior in game and also give them a “strike” immediately through the karma tab on players.

if you're solo then getting out shouldn't be an issue, don't play with randoms join the official discord and find people that way, i hear teamkilling in the discord is not so common.
never take a juiced kit in with randoms that extraction games 101

Im going in with the starter kit and itd have been some of the first blue items I could extract with, killed the giant centipede and the goblin mage and a lot of stuff. I should have been exiting with lots of time to spare but an infinite resource like a stairwell that doesnt go away wouldnt let me up. It just didnt fade to black, the gate was open. I can see a rope or a raft or portals being finite but the stairs should be the one that you can rely on. Either its icon should disappear on the map after being used, or others should be more obvious because I didnt even SEE another exit on the map running around for several whole minutes just opening doors.

technically tho i dont think they animated all the stairs. its suppose to be after one person leaves the roof is suppose to collaps on them. tho admittedly i wish there was a 1 second delay to allow multiples on the stairs before collaps.

Tons of exits on every map is a problem somehow? Multi-person stair exits would make pvp almost non existent. lol

[Uzmari]

before this patch getting out was significantly harder we had no map icons, just hang in there and you will know all the extraction points, it gets better when you put more time into the game, this is normal for new players

If the stairs showed as already taken on the map I wouldnt have gone west to find no exits to go east and still find no exits. Would have gone east at 4 minutes left and probably found an exit, and wouldnt have been running with trash behind me for an exit that didnt even exist (stairs)

Really they oughta be in high traffic areas.
Pose more of a risk to players who want to get out and force them to possibly engage with eachother as its in a more centralized part of the map.

Have the other escapes sure but have those be limited instead. Easy to group extract but if someone catches you now it’s a battle since your out in the open.

Because seriously who has the time to be lifting 5 different adventures out of a hole let alone we have an infinitely spawning boat.

I've been running solo with base gear (nothing to cry about if I die) and just working toward an exit grabbing what I can along the way. So far so good, 100% exit, and never have ran across another player (if you noticed, must others die in the opening minutes, so the only ones left are a few experienced folks looting chests to the last minute), so solo maps on normal end up very sparsely populated.

(This even included starting once in a barricaded small (like barely wide for just me) room with a chest, than happened to be a mimic! Managed to bust the barricade down with near-zero hp, run into 2 goblins, hopped and dodged around while firing arrows, killed them with that same mimic chasing me, kill that... then the very next chest opened in this same connecting room was another mimic! Killed that, then 3 more mummy things from underwater... quite an advertous start, but managed to get to stairs and live to tell the tale!)
