    First of all, I'd just like to thank all the people at Brawl who brought Battle Royale together; the new server is a breath of fresh air and just so much fun. I just want to raise for discussion the compass. I think the compass is a vital tool for the server since maps for the safe zone aren't really feasible, however I don't think players should be able to use it to find each other. It just feels to WarZ to me. Also, in the games the server is based off of, no similar game mechanic exists. I feel like each game would play out more fun with more tension if we weren't just bee-lining to each other to end the match. That said, if you think it should stay, why?

    I think the compass should stay, since the map is quite large (Yes, it gets smaller by time), without the compass the games would last a lot longer, maybe too long.

    I agree with @Pyrotheum on this.
    Lets say it is a 1v1, you vs. a random player. The player could camp in a room close to mid, and sit there for many minutes, while you search for them. This really wouldn't be fun, as with the compass you could find the player faster. Without the compass, the game wouldn't be as suspenseful, and you wouldn't be on your heels the entire time.

    It'd take a while to find people. I'd rather spend more time fighting than looking for people to fight.

    In this game, there's not nearly as many people in each game, so with a somewhat large map, people need a way to find other players and fight. Also, removing compasses would make it a lot easier for people to benefit from x-ray, seeing as they would have even more of an advantage. It's true that neither PUBG nor H1 have compasses, but I think they're pretty necessary in this game.

    I believe h1z1 servers can hold a Max of 200 players thus making more fights without a compass. So if brawl is everything ever able to get 200 players or close to that number on a single battle royale server, then compasses should be removed.

    I feel like the compass is the only way to find someone to kill right now. To remove the trace feature the border would have to decrease in size much faster, which would force players together quickly without a compass but also make games shorter.

    But with the current center of the map there's a lot of places to hide so tracing would be the only way to find someone that's hiding. So then it would have to be a tracing feature that only works after the border is shrinked to minimum size.

    So i don't really know, this might change the gamemode a lot. I got another Idea in mind though, mixing what we have right now with this idea. What about having it so that while the border is shrinking the trace feature is disabled and while it stops, which it does quite often, the trace feature is turned on again. With this you get an idea where the nearest player is but he can also run away in a different direction while if someone is after you while not having any gear to fight back with.
