Re: Please Save Mixed Mode!

This is happening on PS4 as well.  It’s a shame. Usually this is the game mode most vets play except for the die hard turf fans like myself.  Occasionally I will switch too mix mode for a while.  I’ve stopped trying at this point.  I can’t tell you the last time I’ve tried battle arena because of the same thing.  What a waste!  They’ve giving us everything we asked for in this game but the mechanics ruined a good start.  It’s a bummer for sure.

  • I must admit I barely touch mixed mode or battle arena. Not because I don't enjoy them but I've got good at TT and TV and stick to what I know. This is human nature.

    I kind of feel if I sunk time into other modes and got good I would get more fun from the game but lazy players like me need an incentive to change. And if you do try a new mode and can't find a full lobby, that just makes the problem even worse like a reinforced negative spiral.

    So... Solution would be to promote one of the less played modes as a weekend event. Give double XP or double coins or bulbs or exclusive cosmetic awards for playing the featured mode. Then once the weekend is over players who came for the goodies will be more used to the mode and inclined to play it more in future. Repeat this once per fortnight for different modes.

    Edit: ok I'll play some other modes in tonight's session 😀

    @34975634954957Yes, people generally stick with what they're used to / good at. Mixed Mode used to have a big crowd in its own right - a whole different set of players who preferred it. I think a lot of those who did like it have been put off by losing TT & TV and new players have no incentive to play it. It can be great fun if you have a good lobby & it's nice not to do the same thing on the same maps back to back - it just needs a few changes & promoting to get the lobbies back 😬

    I love Mixed Mode and detest TT...  I couldn’t have been happier to see Turf out of the rotation but am all but sure that’s not the reason for Mixed Mode being emptier than anticipated... ALL modes are suffering right now.  PvP is broken so bad that nobody can enjoy it.

    Not having mechanics ironed out = issues for BfN.

    Right now, there should be dozens of lobbies full in all modes. 😢

    I think it’s going to be bleak until things are fixed.

    And once they've fixed it all, I hope they actually promote their game! It seems to have fallen under most people's radar which is leading to low player bases. It's barely present on twitch. Even in its current state it deserves more players. It's better than COD and FIFA.

    Me and my friends playing only mixed mode. Its much better than Turf, we dont like big maps, hits from the unknown places, its boring. Mixed mode is best, its little strategic and not about the rushing and only shooting. In last days is really hard to find server for mixed mode.. i tried everything, changing the region, restarting xbox, restarting game, is this mode really unpopular or what? Change battle arena to the last position, nobody cares about it i think or give more weekly events for mixed mode, its the best mode or please make team vanquish mode with 100 kills, 50 is low, games are short, 100 sounds better.
