Re: Solos and Duos are needed

And by the way, what's next!? You want a solo and a duo queue? There are many people out there (believe or not) who have more than 2 friends and don't want to split in separate groups. Why not a 5-man queue? In the end we'd have 4 queues, right? But wait. How about a ranked mode in Titanfall (although competitive play is hard in battle royale in this game it might work due to squads and revive/respawn mechancs)? But ranked for which queue (solo, duo, 3-man, 5-man) or for every queue? Fortnite for example supports different game modes and maybe this game will have an alternative game mode as well in the future.

So in the end you will end up with maybe 10 different queues. This leads to long queue times (even when the concurrent player count is as high as it is now) and poor matchmaking.

Let's look what we could do if we stick to 3-man-squad. One queue for casual, one queue for ranked play and maybe one for an alternative mode. Three queues would make it possible to have a good skill based matchmaking in a battle royal (in Fortnite and PUBG there are many people who never have won a single match), with good pings for everybody and short queue times.

But instead you want to rip the heart and sould out of this (awesome) game because... you don't want to play and speak with other people.

    I see so many silly comments. Starting from the fact that "your problems, since you have no friends," and "look at the Rainbow Six, etc." Rainbow Six, Overwatch, LOL etc - They are not games in this genre. Stop giving them an example.
    Enough to write such nonsense.
    The player must have a choice whether he wants to play alone or not. You say that then someone should I go to another game? Can you suggest a good alternative? With good optimization, with good network code. With pleasant shooting, character movement, etc.? Oh yes. This game should be free. For that matter. Can you show any of this in other games?
    PUBG - has a lot of problems. Less responsive management, poor optimization, p2p game etc.
    Fortnite ... Damn, I want to play shooter, not minecraft. I want to win at the expense of my shooter skill, and not at the expense of the ability to build towers. Besides, there is no first-person view.

    You say "Solo will kill this game"? What the hell are you saying? How should Solo mode ruin your teamplay experience? From the fact that a person can enter the game and practice his own skill - the game will not become less original. Besides. Why can not you understand that the introduction of SOLO mode will make this game more popular?

    >"Why can not you understand that the introduction of SOLO mode will make this game more popular?"

    That's actually a concern. If so many people are interested in solo-only, maybe they should avoid introducing it so that their squad queue times don't skyrocket.

    There is no reason a game such as this cannot be teamplay-only. You don't see a Battlefield game introducing solo-queue, why? Because it's a team game. The same might be true here, and it's entirely up to the devs.

    Personally, I think they have put a lot of effort into the teamplay and I'd like to see them focus on that.

    omg
    How long do I need to repeat that this game is irrelevant to compare with projects that are NOT BattleRoyale? It does not matter what is in other "tactical" games.
    It is important that there are other BR projects, and what is missing from this.

    So wait.. you want an optimized game, great net-code, fun characters, great gunplay, no building, first-person mode, AND it HAS to be free? My question is.. why are you so entitled to such a thing if you aren't willing to pay for it? These people are letting you play their game for free.. you can either play what they made or pay for an alternative. Beggars can't be choosers man.

    Just because a game is f2p it doesn't mean that it can't improve and appeal to more people. We aren't beggars we are gamers and want the best for the game and for us.
