Please fix "Kill boundaries" in battlegrounds (video)

The map boundaries that kill you via instant environmental damage equal to your health are too close to the playable areas on multiple BG maps, resulting in the player being able to literally jump up into instant-death via environmental damage. In addition to the two jumps you'll see in the attached clip, you also can be "Knocked up" into the kill boundary very easily by CC's like leap, meteor, volcanic rune, and mad tinkerer. Please move these boundaries further out, or remove them entirely in favor of the same boundaries utilized in cyrodil that simply prevent players from using gapclosers.

    That actually looks bugged or something for consoles...I've honestly never seen anyone die from environmental damage in either of the places shown in your video. Being knocked into the air would previously be an insta-death if you were really close to an enemy spawn point when you got hit, but that seems to be fixed (or at least improved) on PC. And I don't know that it was ever an issue if you simply jumped, and certainly not in the two exact locations where it got you.

    Yeah that's literally never happened to me and I'm up in those areas all the time. I don't know what you're doing. Can you replicate it?

    No, but YOU can try to replicate it. I've already provided two examples here, it should be very simple for the developers to fix this. No need for me to go repetitively die in bgs in an attempt to replicate this.

    This happens to me on Xbox, most of the time it is near a spawn area and I get hit with a meteor and as soon as the knock up activates, I instantly die due to about 27k environmental damage.

    This has happened to me on PC/NA 3 times in about a month. Although all 3 times I was in combat and had been hit with a knock back of sorts.

    The thing is for the dev to fix it they need to know how to replicate it as well. If you're unable to replicate it or won't share how to then it's going to be harder for a fix.

    Also if you haven't already submit an in game bug report or post this into the bug reports forums as those are the places they get picked up from.

    It's been reported in game, but this not technically a bug and therefore there is no need to replicate. The environment developers for battlegrounds simply need to move the boundaries further back, not correct some sort of bug. It is simply an oversight on their behalf.

    Fire rune in front of a spawn is a known exploit that causes the same effect

    I report all players who do it
