What's up with grace period?

Surely it's only temporary? Right? Right?

The bloodbath is hands down the most important part of the games, it's where all the tributes compete for valuable items and what risk is there if you're protected by some unrealistic godmode? Is it just for the beta to give people a chance to see the arena? What's it for? It's not staying, RIGHT?!

Rage much o.o
I'm assuming it's staying if it passed the Beta Test.

To answer your question, the whole point of Quarter Quell is the basis of: the players is the least of your worries, now you have to face the environment. Once stuck in a segment it can be extremely hard to stay alive depending on the disaster. People join the quarter quell to check out this amazing gametype in which Forairan spent months on making. Having the grace period allows players to prepare themselves for what they have to face in the wilderness.

I think it should be a bit shorter. It's frustrating to have to wait for someone to find a weapon in chest and then fight them rather than being able to go and kill them when you see them. I think 30 seconds is plenty.

Or how about no grace period at all?

I'd like punching people off the island spokes just to get the advantage, and have mini duels in the water.

I'd be fine with that TBH, but I'm not sure they'll go that far. I'd rather take a compromise than nothing.
