We want to hear your feedback on the newest experimental mode, One Bank, running from November 9th to the 13th.

Not That Bad

#

No seriously I thought it be more garbage than it actually is

#

It’s not good but I can get some enjoyment out of this as a blocker Main

#

I’d say a 5/10

blazing bane
#

Not bad.

#

Not great either.

#

I mean we've had worse

#

It still sucks

#

It was ok, def depends on the map tho

#

Yea

#

This is funny tho cause I’m watching MFs fail to get on there

#

Meh, i really like this experimental mode

tidal yacht
#

Ight long post time

#

Well well well tfb. Back at it again with a mode that doesn't do a whole lot to change the game this time with cortex piano spam and coco walls talk about a nightmare to deal with, there's little point in realistically boosting and it at times is a struggle to get on a bank, you some how got the base mode and made it worse than what it already was from a gameplay point of view.

#

An awful mode imo 3/10... it's not as bad as mosts other lab modes but it lacks charm and effort

#

It’s meh for me. I wish the wumpa count was the regular 2000 at least. The double Dingo combo is easily the best combo in the mode rn. At least it’s better than the dreaded Wumpa Whale.

#

being better than wumpa whale isn't a high bar

#

you have to dig for an hour to find that bar

#

This mode is innoffensive to me, but doesn't do much to warrent it's existance either outside of team fight training

It's fun but it needs some minor character balancing just for this mode as well as the items.

#

yeah I'm not sure how I would rank this game mode to be honest

#

I guess imma write down some thoughts, what I think is good is:

  • lot of interaction with other players because there is only one bank, so you get to engage more
  • a large bank, giving more players more room to move around
  • increased relic cost for common relic stations

but these few upsides are weighted down by:

  • no epic relic stations, which takes away a lot of fun
  • a lack of support for many maps, there is no jazz junction, no waste deep, no summit etc., basically all the S tier maps don't support one bank
  • common relic stations are there some of them are useless ... why is force field available? activating it gives literally no benefit
  • one bank highlights a lot of issues with the unrestricted rules that rumble has, 2 or more of any character become extremely frustrating to deal with very quickly when there is only bank since you can't avoid them
  • the bank placement is awkward on some maps, in particular serenity gardens because the bank is for some weird reason high up in the air and can't be boarded as easily by every character
  • despite the bank being fairly large, 8 player interactions can become extremely chaotic and random, especially as teams become more coordinated and when latency increases
#

overall this is a mid mode for me, it's tolerable but it's not great

Great experimental game mode, like the Bank Swap.
They shouldn't have removed the Epic Relic Stations from the maps for this mode.

And, once again @elfin turret, you will not be receiving any feedback from me about this due to the complete lack of bug fixes we have received. Stop pushing out this content and get the bug fixes out to us. Over 2 months without bug fixes in a live service game is absolutely shameful

sterile bramble
#

I agree with the message tho

ivory ice
# sterile bramble Isn't this technically feedback 👀

No. It’s pointing out how poorly they’re treating the player base’s concerns about all of the bugs and glitches that make the game unplayable. Lobbies are becoming harder and harder to find, a clear sign that people are not willing to keep putting up with game breaking bugs that absolutely destroy the gaming experience

#

Everyone’s given their feedback on how bad the bugs are already several times. TFB need reminding of how much their ignorance and lack of communication is destroying player retention and that they’ll have no one to blame but themselves if the game does not live long enough to see all their ideas fulfilled

#

The mode is alright. I think it’d be more fun if epic relic stations were included. Some maps should also be disabled, particularly maps like Bogged Down where the two banks are normally close together already.

#

This is a fun one.
I love how we're basically just block-scoring throughout the match.
Espcially in Bogged Down where the relics are obsolete, it's just fun chaos.

#

I agree with Coolsy.

#

I haven't managed to get into a single game.

#

I think they should add bots into Labs, so that way theres more of a chance of a game to start.

#

*its also unfair to have your team rage quit mid match and it's a 4v2 or vise versa

#

This one shouldn’t be a permanent mode, but it can be a variation of Competitive mode which is okey.
But still we’re tired of having just a different variation of competitive mode.
We need a different mode with different goals like Capture the flag and N Traced!

It's alright from what I've played fun if your a blocker

That is my problem with these TFB Labs. They're definitely distractions from the bigger problem: The player base is slowly dying out. This wouldn't be an issue had the devs actually given the game the proper love and care it needs and issued out bug fixes on the regular. These TFB Labs are pure distractions, and they end up splitting the player base even more when it comes to matchmaking for Competitive or Party lobbies. Less and less people are found. Plus, having to require 8 people just to start the mode is another problem entirely. Bots not being allowed in these modes only drives more people away from Competitive and Party, and matches instantly become unfair the moment someone drops from the game

#

I can't give positive feedback when TFB are constantly throwing content into our faces and expect us to just accept the fact that we're not getting any bug fixes for an entire season, hoping that we forget that the game is a live service multiplayer game that requires constant monitoring and constant polish to prevent the game from completely dying out since this game is not designed for singleplayer

if I don't anticipate tfb labs I have nothing else to anticipate

Agreed. A lot of people are forgetting that:

  • N.Brio is still plagued by a horrible bug that makes playing him detrimental to your team
  • Tar Valley was completely removed because they don't want to fix the Slow Shrooms bug until Season 3
  • Bogged Down is bland as shit since they removed Bouncing Bubbles and refuse to fix it. The map is just "get Wumpa Bat, win"
  • The netcode is getting worse and worse, introducing even more bugs and glitches into more and more matches on the daily
  • The one of the most extreme bugs ever can end up switching the team scores, handing your opponent's a victory even though you were clearly in the lead and were about to win the match

And there's so many other bugs that I probably haven't mentioned, but still plague the game every day. The levels of unacceptable are too great

Chaotic on the bank itself, it's kind of crazy fun when it gets that way! It's easier for the blockers to score which is refreshing and getting Sneaky badges feels more plausible.

However some maps have an issue where whoever gets the relic stations first is guaranteed to win, such as with Akano. It was good that the costs went up, but they may need even more of an increase if they must stay.

Also Force Field may be a bit useless in canyon 😛

This mode would be amazing if stinkypete3471 was banned

A cheap imitation of Competitive Mod. Worse. There are no epic relic stations, the team playing with the buggy Brio can ruin your game, the lobby must be made up entirely of real players, and if someone gets dc, the game becomes incredibly unfair. It seems like it was never considered when designing the arena or the game. A hint: If there is a better version of the same game, the worse one is doomed to indifference and death. Therefore, One Bank is a stillborn mod while Competitive Mode exists. I waited in the lobby for 10 minutes to try it on the first day, and when I couldn't find anyone to play with, I switched to Competitive Mode. Seriously, who comes up with these ridiculous modes? TFB, don't give us mods, give us the new fucking arena and new characters. Fix bugs. We cannot play one arena only due to a bug, we do not want to play the other one, but we do not pass without playing it out of necessity. FIX THE BUGS AND BRING CONTENT TO THE GAME CONTENT. Hello!

I feel like this mode would be more interesting if some maps had different relic stations (Plasma Turrets in Bogged Down, Mask Stations in Calamity Canyon etc)

#

Bogged Down is easily the worst map in this mode because there is no relic stations at all.

What about making the game more polished and fast paced? Every character feel so heavy, it’s all so clunky and bugged, lag is insane, content is lacking and i’m starting to ask myself why i keep playing this game.

I legit get on this game once a week for less than an hour to try out new content

One Bank is more chaotic and fun!

The issue is for example the shield power up is in the wrong place
