Battle royale

[xTOXICTROOPERx]

I’m playing the windows store version of the game, click battle royale, play. Been in queue 10-15 mins now nothing.

Is the game mode dead? Is nobody playing just checking see if it’s just me or this game mode

I tried it a couple of days ago and yes, 6 min queue. I left the queue. End of story. I think is very dead…

battle what? a game mode?

I’m not playing it myself, but they should make a ranked mode for it. Fairer matchmaking would probably help quite a bit.
For the rating system they could do it like autochess-games. I only played TFT, but I liked their system. Places 1-4 get points (place 1 the most obviously) and places 5-8 lose points. That way you’re also not forced to always play for the win, but can aim for place 3-4 if your civ isn’t good or your start was bad.

Tbh they should just get rid of Quickplay completely^^

Yes the mode is quite dead if the devs don’t do anything to improve it. It’s one of the most fun alternate game modes I’ve played with in a RTS besides the co-op mode in SC2. I’ve even made a thread about it;

Battle Royale mode needs lag fixes and updates?

Yes I love this game mode and it has come to a considerable waiting time nowadays. Quick play matching queue should not last for more than 5 minutes at the most (i’ve waited for 6 minutes still searching). Please don’t be an abandon game mode just for the hype. Utmost priority for Battle Royale is to give this game mode better optimization. I once asked Viper in twitch about his opinion on the game mode. He said he love the game mode but would not prefer to play it due to lag. Some suggestions…

Quick play in general is dead. Yesterday i saw the same kind of thread from someone about Quick play in general. This was my response (it also fits here):

@WoodsierCorn696

Quick play is the worst feature the devs added. It just dont work. There are lots of things wrong. As result almost no one player Quick play, so waiting times increase. And as result of the increased waiting times, even more people quit playing Quick play. I already expected this when they announce the feature.

When the features was released, i already made a thread about this issue:
How to make Quick Play useful?

I would advice you to join the ranked queue. After some placer matcher, you will most likely face only about equally opponents.

There are some easy fixes to make the game modes in Quick play more popular:

Just delete Quick play as feature of the game and adds EW and BR to the ranked queue. This means you will be playing against about equally skilled players instead of random players. At least this will work for EW. I am pretty sure about this. BR seems to be more like a drinking game with friends. Not sure if such kind of game mode will succeed on ranked.

I like battle royal mode, i play this mode nearly every day, i play maybe 1 or 2 games, and yes it takes long time to queue more than 10 or 15 mins, it seems there is no many players queue for the mode so it will take longer time to find a game
