reduce wait time for joining BR's on colosseum

by **riskllama** on Sun Jun 13, 2021 2:51 pm

given the ever dwindling active player numbers around here, can someone maybe take a look at cutting the wait time from 28 days to say, 14? these games already take forever to fill...

totally agree...personally I am not a fan of freestyle, nukes, or zombie so at times find myself waiting for months to join one.

also, while you're at it...how about a different medal for winning on colosseum? seeing as how BR medals are now given out like candy on all those 20 man FS games that are offered during holidays & whatnot, as they completely devalue a victory on the map the medal was created for...

I think you're reversing the sequence. The FS BRs always existed. The map was created later.

Agreed. Everytime I can use my once a month entry, the type of game is absolute crap. I would like a chance to play the fun one's and am happy to play more crappy ones to get there.

Seems like every 10 or 15 days would make sense, though admittedly I'm not sure the reason for having a limit in the first place. Its already a premium feature so I'm not entirely sure. Might make sense to do the once a month for others, and allow us to enter as many as we want? Give more reason for premium signups?

So it's been 32 days since joining a BR and as previously stated not a fan of freestyle, however, that would be my only option as the standard (which I am in from 32 days ago) still has 26 spots to fill. I think that in itself SCREAMS we have a problem.

100% agree, plus a review of game settings

Yes, there is problem, how could you NOT want to play freestyle on a BR ?
I think you need to consult, immediately.

A BR non-freestyle, a game that you play once every 30 days and if it's escalating that becomes complete luck bs. If it's not escalating take months to finish.
Non Freestyle BR shouldn't exist.

your personal opinion to which you are fully and completely entitled to

yeah, i just had to join a stupid FS esc. trench BR if for no other reason, to minimize my retarded 30 day wait time if & when a better BR comes along...

. this is stupid, CC - pls. change it.

by **riskllama** on Mon Sep 27, 2021 2:13 pm

only TWO MORE DAYS until i can join another BR and then wait another two weeks or so until it actually fills!!!

WOW, EXCITING!!!... :roll:

What's the rush? You'll still have to wait another month for it to fill.

They would fill faster if we didn't have to choose to wait for one with decent settings, and or we could join multiple so they actually started.

If we could join as many as we want, and an escalating freestyle was always available, they'd screw up the scoreboard too much.

Just open up 5 various / common settings and keep them all open for rolling sign ups. That way the popular settings can be played a little more often / filled with players every 30 days vs an unpopular one or two dragging the sign ups forever waiting to be filled and hoping for a crap shoot on the settings.

by **riskllama** on Thu Jan 27, 2022 10:16 pm

mmm...how about this : just reduce the absurdly long 30 day wait time down to a more reasonable amount of time? i wonder how many key strokes it take to do that...f*ck sakes, CC.
