Bigger Lobby, or Full Lobby blah blah blah

[languid thorn]

This is the only thing that makes sense

[midnight lichen]

This would give the comp scene more options for game setup too

[restive tundra]

When they tried to introduce 24 player (8 team) lobbies in the 1st year (2021) during the beta test it was not a good idea as metro was not out yet (so map was smaller) and the player base was very low still.
I think it’s a good time to review that possibility of more players/teams per lobby, now that’s it’s 3 years later..

[crisp wyvern]

That was the most fun I’ve ever had playing Pop! Miss those 24 player lobbies 😭🫶🏼

[stoic tulip]

AWESOME IDEA I WONDER IF WE WILL GET IT👀

[lament inlet]

damn more players would be nice. idk about that many players but more players per match would be amazing!!

[shut valley]

Omg yes 15 players on classics and 30 on evolving that sounds awesome

[shut valley]

Hey enaaz been a while

[stoic tulip]

yea it has been

[tepid jacinth]

But heres the thing @crisp wyvern It depends on if you can get many lobbys to get a full lobby like that

[crisp wyvern]

Ez

[shut valley]

It honestly depends on the time there's days where I can get into lobbys super fast and then there's days where it takes forever

[tepid jacinth]

true

[onyx frost]

They had 24, person lobby post beta too. It was great

[lime scaffold]

I recall they had a 12 vs 12 war mode at one point.

[woven ginkgo]

Why would you reduce the number of players on classic?

[shut valley]

Too much open space

[woven ginkgo]

Wouldn't reducing the number of players make for more open space?

[shut valley]

Evolving a bigger map classics a more small map

[woven ginkgo]

And?

Classic currently has 18 players, how would reducing that to 15 deal with "Too much open space"

[crisp wyvern]

🍌

[manic basalt]

18 players? Feels like I don't get more than 13 in my lobbies lately.

I'm happy with 18, due to pod drop locations, but do feel custom lobbies should allow for more. Another idea is 6 squads of 4 where all 4 can squad together.

[crisp wyvern]

In my opinion there should be a minimum of 24 players/8 squads per match. Making each team have to fight at least one other team in their drop-area/corner of the map (2 teams every 1/4 of the map)wouldn’t be asking too much since the map is huge. Adding a 3rd or 4th platform in the opposing corners would be easy if all pods ended at Tower, forcing teams to engage in their own 1/4 of the map before moving on to third-party.

[crisp wyvern]

How many bananas 🍌 does it take for one of these feedback suggestions to be considered? 😮‍💨🤔🤞🏼

[covert stirrup]

24 players were the best lobbies ive ever had

[crisp wyvern]

Same 💯

[crisp wyvern]

More players plz 😭🙏

[viscid fjord]

It was the biggest part of S2, comp lobbies were full, but outside of the hours of comp players playing outside of scrims it took forever to load in at first after the first couple weeks. Loved the number though, so chaotic but fun.

Also, long time no see Tee!

[crisp wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-snorlax-snore-yawn-sleeping-gif-4029995

Wouldn’t it be cool to have bigger lobbies? 😭

[green gull]

What about an endurance mode? New teams keep getting spawns into the map? Like a Royal Rumble. Would need to figure out how Zone plays with that maybe a larger moving zone at times. Like Shrinks then resets to big and when it does loot resets? Rinse and repeat?

[crisp wyvern]

Making the zone have a player count variable would seem to be a fix-all here..
ex.
9 player lobby—> zone change faster & larger area eliminated/outside of zone.
30 player lobby—> zone moves slower & change encompass a smaller area.

I still stand on 50+ player lobbies on the MASSIVE Evolving map tho. Rotating new squads into a live match seems cool, but complicated for my tiny brain.

[green gull]

In theory adding more teams over and over like a queue, but I could see some issues with that too.

[crisp wyvern]

I keep landing on bigger lobbies. Had so much fun when the map was full. 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe one day. 🙏🤞🏼

[green gull]

I like the idea to keep adding teams but those stats couldn’t count as everyone wouldn’t have the same opportunity to when the game started. But imagine this:

Full lobby starts, zone continues to shrink 3x. At that point the zone will zoom all the way back out and new players get added and new loot will be respawned if it had been taken before and then rinse and repeat. Run those for an hour. Imagine surviving a game for an hour.

[crisp wyvern]

Survival mode with player boosts 🔥 sounds like a ton of fun. Constant action!

[turbid tinsel]

"Royal Rumble" style so to speak
Edit: you already called it that lol MB

[sudden canopy]

i disagree. its not too big for 18 players. its too big for 12 or less. which happens because calssic squads exists. splitting squads lobbies needs to stop. i doubt bb cares nor will listen

[crisp wyvern]

To care or not to care?

Pop has enough players to do this I get full lobby’s all day at midnight when I play classic just remove classic and get rid of shadows because the shadows are very hard on the game and that’s why rocks don’t render in

Why'd you ping spike?

Do y'all not realize he's the community manager

He don't dictate the game I don't think

Yeah

Unless I'm mistaken, but he's the community manager

So he don't actually work on the game

hi

[crisp wyvern]

Hello 👋🏼 😊

[elder parrot]

Oh boy, massive essay inbound

[dense horizon]

i would not over ping they hate that i think 🤔 they are watching don't think they don't.. its rather easy. its hard work made and keeping in mind for progress but not corrupting the Data is next level I'm sure they would love just appreciation from the joy already made love ideas from members, play on.. you may have your day, learn grow inspire others to do the same. I'm hopefully seeing a trend. kids cat

[crisp wyvern]

This is for them to see. I hope they are watching. If it’s “rather easy” they should take 3 seconds and type “we can’t” or “we don’t care”. I, if anyone, have given more than enough public appreciation to them. Thanks for your input. I’ll play more when it’s fun again. I hope I inspire them to listen to the community or engage with them more directly.

[dense horizon]

they listen they watch more than we realize and if not seen they will its not like people with money and fam that made this would not have several several teams think pipelines!

issues take precedents 1st

typically in problem solving i think what about you i love conversation about this

[crisp wyvern]

To some of us, this is a big issue & should take precedence. A lot of us have gone to other games, or quit entirely already because of this exact reason. I consider the extra pings to be helping them retain player base, so that they can keep feeding their families. Everyone has their own perspective though.
Do you want lobbies with more players in them?

[dense horizon]

i do

shrink automate to change more world to world give less ? redistributed? give more? different but keep to much everyone separates makes less connection make better with more hands bring there friends there friends friends and make connections better.

maybe a teleporter gun

i really dont knw just thinking

[crisp wyvern]

I bet a teleport gun would be awesome. I’d push for that hard too. Seems pretty simple to make the pod routes different & add more players like we want tho. I was thinking baby steps, but here we are making another different game mode, again.

[dense horizon]

• i can ask a friend what it thinks

[crisp wyvern]

We should make a teleport gun thread too.

So it can also be ignored for months 😭😭😭

going back in time is what 18 person lobbies feels like so its fitting too lol

Well phoenix royale is comin out so ur problem is gonna be fixed

[elder parrot]

They haven't confirmed 24 person lobbies yet, so don't get your hopes up

[onyx frost]

Um no not fixed. Need 24 person lobbies on evolving

[shell folio]

They specifically said bigger map which is most definitely a bigger lobby

[shell folio]

^^

[onyx frost]

nope it doesnt. itll be 18 players unfortunately

[crisp wyvern]

[crisp wyvern]

Would it be easier to make the map smaller, or add a few extra teams to the big map? OR.. delay the que until a lobby is full?
Seems like adding a new mode will only make it harder to find a full lobby from my pov.

50 😒😂

[onyx frost]

and a bigger map lol.... ill take the W with 24 on the current evolving map as a decent win right now

then add in one of those towers in the distance join evolving to it and enlarge the map a ton and increase lobby size later 🙂

[worldly quarry]

24 on Evolving, 30 on Phoenix. Let us eat!

[onyx frost]

This post now has more banana's than the AWP change one.... the AWP revert happened almost instantly. what more do we need to do here to get 24 person Evolving?!

[worldly quarry]

Great question. If only we could get a dev to acknowledge it. A simple statement would be appreciated.

[crisp wyvern]

Today is a great day to remember that all we wanted was full lobbies & more people to shoot at. ❤️

[pale comet]

This absolutely needs to be done!!!

[zenith flint]

I been trying to communicate to the devs that less is more. Simple is always better for the long term. Just listen to the big request of audience. I think we been asking for more people & new map for a long time. All these new features are cool and all, but how about implementing what the community has been begging for first? Idk.

[manic basalt]

Make it so that a lobby wont start until it gets a minimum of 4 teams.

[crisp wyvern]

Great idea. Should be a minimum of this.

[crisp wyvern]

🍌

Increase team/player numbers in lobbys to 10 teams/30 players or FULL lobbies only.

[onyx frost]

baby steps... lets get to 24 and what its built for first. then move to bigger map and more players 🙂

[crisp wyvern]

For cereal tho, I’d settle on just having full lobbies at this point. It’s been getting bad bad man.. I actually tried Contractors Showdown. Feel like I cheated on bae 😭😂

[onyx frost]

shoot me that UID ill add ya. Showdown is a nice side peace lol

[worn parcel]

can we get 30 player lobbies ??

[crisp wyvern]

That would be so much fun.

Especially on Phoenix map or evolving.

[bold sparrow]

24 is maybe better? 30 is a lot i think 👀

[bold sparrow]

Yes maybe 24 and see for biggest map before more

But before they need to fix bug for pcvr 🙏

[crisp wyvern]

I just have high hopes. Lol massive map could use more carnage imo tho.

[covert stirrup]

IMO, phoenix does not need more players. redeploy is plenty. evolving and classics do though

[austere charm]

They should remove classic

[elder parrot]

I think this forum has the most amount of banana votes

[zenith flint]

I agree. Between playing last yesterday & today, 30 would be overwhelming. I'm already getting 3rd partied from other side of map, but 15 is a little too low. 24 would be perfect to me!

[onyx frost]

It does....

[viscid fjord]

Almost enough for 4 lobbies!

[shell sinew]

this is great till 20 kids are in the lobby lol

[crisp wyvern]

🍌 team chat only 🍌

[bold sparrow]

If they remove classic, they need to resolve bug before

[native kayak]

I really don't understand why this is a constant discussion and nobody from BB is actually picking this up and act on it.. I mean they should have the numbers? so far they don't think it is an issue? they even amplify the issue by introducing more maps and modes... Classic is unplayable.. empty lobby nonstop.. evolved.. was already unplayable weeks earlier.

[harsh hound]

RP needs to get removed too so pointless waste of memory lol

[austere charm]

What bug

[elder parrot]

Too much to be. Lol

[crisp wyvern]

Minimum 18-24 players to start a match would shut us up for a little while probably. 🫣

[fading swift]

This didn't age well 😋

[elder parrot]

LMAO

[crisp wyvern]

More 🍌

[crisp wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/meghanmarkle-staypressed-gif-18870896

[boreal vigil]

I agree there should be more pruning like this. Lose XP and levels. Lose Classics. Make the Lobby Platform a place to easily sync up with friends first and foremost (Favorites?) and force people into Phoenix or Evolving. Social aspect is what gets people playing and filling lobbies.

[harsh hound]

I like the we need to prune up the game lol! My suggestion would be have:
-rotation on classic and tdm
-rotation on Phoenix, war and legions
-evolving set main game.
-remove RP

Or somewhat of the sort with no laggggg obvs 😂

[shell folio]

Fuckkkkkkk nooo tdm is already a thing with customs , rotation pheonix is a terrible idea keep it there, rotate classics and evolveing and make one solos mode. Pheonix needs to stay it just revived the game

[crisp wyvern]

Regardless of what they do, would be nice to have full lobbies of carnage instead of these tiny lobbies.

[crisp wyvern]

5 more 🍌

[harsh hound]

I said or somewhat.. lol not precisely that order but a constant rotation take away the irrelevant modes

[elder parrot]

Oh yeah, five more to 100!

#24in24

[shut valley]

Pov us 20 years from now thinking abt our fight for 24 lobbys

[feral rivet]

i dont think we need 24 player lobbys because on fenix im always fighting there is always another team right behind the one i killed

so there is pretty much always some action

but i still think 24 player lobbys WOULD BE AWESOME

and if there were 24 people in the lobbys i could brake my record i just made

wich is 23 kills over 4,000 damage

AND IF THERE WERE 24 PEOPLE I WOULD GET 48 KILLS MWA HA HA

[crisp wyvern]

I think that 24 player lobbies would make the first 10-15min of the match matter more, since there will be more of a chance of squad wipes. As of now, it feels like the only part of the royale that matters is after redeploy ends.
Definitely always a promoting more kills & carnage in a fps game tho. It only makes it better.

[torn charm]

yeah, in the last 30 games of phoenix i've played only 1 squad ever got wiped before the end of 5s redeploys, so you just mindless push everyone hoping for as much kills and damage with 0 consequences if you do anything stupid. skill does matter when you'll be back in the fight in 5s with full health and shield

[onyx frost]

we need 24 player lobbies in evolving. phoenix takes care of small lobbies with the redeploy but evolving need it. that should be the focus

[torn charm]

if they just get rid of hangout, the player count in each mode would triple

[crisp wyvern]

That would be cool.

[crisp wyvern]

I really think Phoenix would be a lot more fun with 24 too. Yeah, Ev map definitely has to have more tho. Way overdue.

[onyx frost]

yeah agree. i just wanna focus on 1. i played phoenix with 13ppl and action held up there... evolving/classic with sub 24 is just boring and way too slow.

[worldly quarry]

Evolving should be 24 standard and up to 30 in custom rooms for comp. People running those lobbies could use the extra spots.

[onyx frost]

imho they need to make the map bigger for 30

[manic basalt]

by the time I logged off last night, all the lobbies were 6-8 enemies... Come on, we need at least 9 enemies before the round starts.

[crisp wyvern]

At least 15. I’ve started leaving if there’s under 9 and just hopping off the game if it happens 2-3 times in a row.

[crisp wyvern]

It isn’t the bananas, @gaunt zodiac responds in other threads with less & @near osprey trolls other threads occasionally for fun... so What exactly do we need to do to get your team to even acknowledge this thread?

[crisp wyvern]

Word just move this big one up that long list of fixes I guess then. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[manic basalt]

It's the worst when we jump into a lobby, and there's 4 people and the match starts in 5 seconds.

Other odd thing that sometimes (more rare) happens is when there is like 7 people, and the timer goes from 30 to 5 seconds. But then jumps up to 30 seconds, and ticks down to 20 seconds and then jumps to 5 seconds and starts. What caused it to jump to 5 seconds? Lobby didn't just fill up. It's still 7 people.

[crisp wyvern]

This is the very 1st response in this thread by anyone from BigBox…. 😵‍💫 “numerous” out here trying to make me look foolish, not today brother we have receipts.

Only note I've seen was regarding Phoenix lobby size honestly. Seen bagel note 24 supported they just choose 18 but that was long time ago

[crisp wyvern]

Right. Disappointing

[harsh hound]

Think the game needs fixed before adding players that’ll defo be an overload to the system.

[elder parrot]

I kinda agree, with obviously Phoenix having some issues, and other things. But I personally think pop1 is ready for 24 player lobby

funny had full lobbies all last night here... legions filled with 24 all day long too...

[obsidian briar]

Try before 3:00pm EST

[green gull]

Maybe with the US being the largest part of the playerbase its difficult to get lobbies because people have jobs/school?

bingo! and no reason to penalize/restrict the larger part of the playerbase to smaller lobbies as well

[worn parcel]

yes, fit more people in phoenix. the map is too large and it can get even larger.. a good 30 is good

[clever cloak]

If they make 24 players in a lobby, they should add more fuel in the pods imagine 12 players hot dropping in the same zone lmao

[covert stirrup]

that wont be happening with how far people redeploy

[crisp wyvern]

It’s a huge map, easy fix by just spreading out the pod platforms. would be chaos otherwise. I’m not opposed to it 😂

[crisp wyvern]

Good point. I wonder if a lower spawn point on redeploy could resolve that. Redeploying at half the height of the original redeploy.

[crisp wyvern]

Every comp I’ve seen casted on Phoenix or Evolving I’ve seen complaints of there not being enough actions the map being too big for such a small number of players left. It’s boring to watch.
Should I just start another feedback thread for server upgrades? 😭
Also… Would be AWESOME to know exactly what’s stopping the devs from making bigger lobbies. Maybe we could help?

[manic basalt]

I'm afraid larger lobbies would result with more people from outside their region and that further diarrhea shits the game up with their bullshit lag.

[onyx frost]

Na. Never see that in legions.

[manic basalt]

Yeah, but since Phoenix was added, I personally see about 30% more latency and server issues.

[onyx frost]

Separate item all together there.

[worldly quarry]

They are still smoothing out the Phoenix map, you can see all the floating assets and flicking around the map. We still haven't seen its final form yet. I think the July update will be smooth and clean.

112 🍌

[sudden canopy]

Games load in with 2 teams.... on what planet is increasing player count good?

Also at current count it's easy to get 15+ kills. Why increase size? It's pointless.

[lucid imp]

More action, more competitive games… I’m sick of camping out somewhere for 5 minutes at a time

[elder parrot]

I agree. Or searching for 5 minutes to look for a squad, only for them to get wiped

[onyx frost]

reduce number lobbies spawned. cant tell you number times ive dropped into a dead lobby only to requeue to full lobby. so yeah more teams can equate to more full lobbies as well.

esp once classic is nuked hopefully

[sudden canopy]

Still don't see the point. The last thing this game needs is more people sniping.

12 person lobby’s! 🎉

[sudden canopy]

@gaunt zodiac @near osprey can you do something about this doxxing of my name

pretty sure this earns a gameban for @austere charm

i have the screenshot as well

[torn charm]

Or even better hangout

but thats probably too much to hope for

[crisp wyvern]

Can’t wait for the day this is considered.

[lucid imp]

24 player lobbies today? 👀

[worldly quarry]

24 today??

[green gull]

24 tomorrow??

[harsh hound]

Legions this week?

[covert stirrup]

War > legions

[crisp wyvern]

24 player lobbies next week?

[lucid imp]

They both better than phoenix 🤷‍♂️

[covert stirrup]

nah

[lucid imp]

Phoenix is fun… but that’s all I’ve played for months

I would really appreciate a change

[harsh hound]

We need CHANGE ☝🏼

[lucid imp]

Yea

I’m already done with the balloon event lol

Probably most of the community is

Legions, etc.. would be really appreciated

[hybrid ember]

-Increase teams
-Remove classic
-Remove hangouts
-Make sense in TDM maps/playlists (with/without modifiers) and bring back classic TDM maps.
-Make Phoenix default mode
-Rotate 2nd mode between Evolving/Metro/Legions/War
-Bring back night mode

Make pop1 great again!

[green gull]

I’m ok with hangouts, let the squeakers have their place. Don’t hear nearly as many in lobby before game.

[lucid imp]

It does seem to me though, that bigbox focuses more on hangout that the actual battle royale itself

I see frequent changes to the maps on this mode, and nothing to the battle royale modes… why is this? It would be very easy to rotate in war, legions, etc.. as they have already been done before.

[green gull]

Right but thats done by players updating their own maps.

[lucid imp]

True

[torn charm]

Most recent update had 1 change

They do not care about the actual game

[hybrid ember]

lol, you and Wasted only know how to do one thing. And one thing only.
Shit on devs, in every possible chance you have.

You do realize this comment does nothing right?

Apart from you letting off some steam in a very childish way.
If you have no real input then just don’t.

[green gull]

They both do not understand that

[hybrid ember]

not only they do not understand that, their low effort, 0 value comments only make each thread here the same.
similar to how someone is using every chance to complain about the AWP.

big kudos to MODS here who still have patience to the same broken record. im really not surprised from devs not communicating much in these threads.

[green gull]

Exactly, there’s a mature way to convey bugs and changes you disagree with. It’s easier to complain and act like a child than it is be level headed.

[torn charm]

i pointed out that there was 1 change to the actual game in an entire update. That is a fact. A logical conclusion is that the more updated parts of the game are what the devs care about, being hangout and map maker

either way we need full lobbies of 24-30 people

[split night]

I agree you are a clown

[crisp wyvern]

Full lobbies 🙏
24 player lobbies 🍀
30+ player lobbies 🪄

most voted on item in history here! lets go 24 person lobbies already!

[sudden canopy]

you are high if you think the lagfest that is pop will get increased player size. they have got to solve all performance issues before even looking at this.

[onyx frost]

dont you have a thread to comment on AWP being OP somewhere? move along plz

[hybrid ember]

I really don’t understand how contractors can have 60 players, and pop1 still struggles with 18 people lobby.

BB, it’s late 2024, we are on Q3. Time to catch up with the current market.

[onyx frost]

[hybrid ember]

Please try to avoid indulging him with further comments. All he does is troll.
This thread has nothing to do with lags/specs.

All we need to focus on is 24 player lobby.

Let’s stay on topic 🙂

[manic basalt]

24 in phoenix? You are lucky if you can get 9 enemies in phoenix at night.

[onyx frost]

Ran hours on end all nights minimum 12 in every lobby but most full...🤷‍♂️

[lucid imp]

As much as I would love to see 24 player lobbies, I really don't mind the 18 player ones. However, anything less than that isn't as much fun, and this happens frequently.

[manic basalt]

The end of the night had the following enemy counts: 7, 7, 6, 2,3,2, 3,6

And those ones that had 2 enemies went right in, they were on like 10 second timers. fucking bad code allowing that to happen. IMO the timer shouldn't even tick if there's less than 9 people in the lobby.

[onyx frost]

was through 1am EST and had no less than 12 any lobby. if it was 9 in there we requeued instantly to full lobby aka other was broken which happens

[manic basalt]

Ahh, this would have been 2am-3am est. Was midnight here on the west coast.

Probably right after you log off.
East coast has it nice in that aspect.

[crisp wyvern]

24 player min.

24 person lobbies this week?!?

[crisp wyvern]

This week might be a no-go. They busy creating invisible barriers under shipping containers they might have missed I think. 🤔 😂

[obtuse sparrow]

120 banana reactions to a post and they still not doing anything 😭

[covert stirrup]

because there are bigger issues

[crisp wyvern]

Seems like the 🍌’s are saying community thinks otherwise.

[hybrid ember]

What are the bigger issues?
Seems like the biggest issue is that the we ask for something pretty basic like 24 people lobby, when in showdown you have 60 already.

There is no excuse to not make it happen. Also it will probably make them deal with lag and optimization which was neglected for so long now

[green gull]

Feels like maybe they are working on backend stuff right now to perhaps support that in the future? or just imrpove the lag we are all experiencing. The non sexy part of optimizing code.

[hybrid ember]

Fingers crossed 🤞 for now I’m just on a break from the game 🙂 pretty much unplayable imo.

[crisp wyvern]

That would be NOICE! A few years late, but still noice.
Every time I get on now I spend a ton of time leaving empty lobbies tho.
From my pov it seems like they just keep stuffing a new game mode into Pop1 every 6 months or so and making the problems worse. I’m not a coding expert tho so my pov doesn’t really matter much there.

[green gull]

Lately in a 3 hour session I prolly have to leave lobbies 2-3x sometimes 2x in a row. But I’ll play if there is at least 10. Sometimes 9 if we all know each other those can be fun.

[crisp wyvern]

I’m having the same luck it seems. Lots of half-full lobbies & 3-4 leaves per session.
Tbh very grateful that Phoenix came along and saved us from 8-10 person evolving map matches. I was about to quit the game altogether from boredom before Phoenix dropped.

[onyx frost]

Feel there has always been an underlying issue with lobbies being started and "dead" eg. We should never be in lobby with 2ppl and be able to requeue to a lobby that has 10 that has players flowing into it... Whatever causes the lobby to be deemed dead I'd rather it just boot all players instantly when that happens so we are not guessing what will happen.

Same thing, there times you will sit with 4players in lobby and as soon as 1 leaves it opens the flood gates. As if 1 player essentially was blocking all new teams from coming in

[manic basalt]

Lobby start timer shouldn't even tick below 30 seconds if there isn't 12 people in the lobby. (That's just 9 enemies).

[crisp wyvern]

Legions mode on Phoenix would be neat while we wait.

[green gull]

Imagine 5 people redeploying from the sky on the same team

That one dude just holding on for dear life to run the clock out and mp9 raining down on you

[crisp wyvern]

Sounds chaotic & exhilarating. Would def need to alter a few settings to make it work tho. Redeploy half the height as normal would help.

[onyx frost]

na team pin drops coming at ya! i like it

[onyx frost]

new strat... collectively die on purpose for team pin drops in a diff area lol

[crisp wyvern]

Can’t say I don’t already do that 😂😭 when there are only 5-8 enemies left and the map is still huge I definitely frag myself so that I can fly closer to them.

[onyx frost]

118🔥

[crisp wyvern]

Another great day for huge lobbies.

Big respect for your persistence on the matter.

[green gull]

I got to see the Ultimate Warrior in person on Monday night Raw when I was a kid for my birthday a long time ago. He fought the undertaker and got put in a body bag and was carried out of the ring, i was devastated. Warrior is my guy. He rips out of the bag before getting all the way down the isle, they fight some more and warrior wins the match. INSANE clutch by the warrior! lol

[hybrid ember]

Amazing that you actually saw it live as a kid, this really takes me back 😂
I still remember the amount of hours I spent playing WWF wrestlmania as a kid.

But to not digress
24 people lobbies
Come on BB

Contractors have 60 and it’s a shittier game.
Is it a trick that only the cool kids in the Metaverse know about?

[crisp wyvern]

That part.. with every passing day players like myself are starting to prefer Contractors. Their Devs seem way more interested in doing what their community wants… & improving consistently. I’m sure we all want to see that here too.

[hybrid ember]

I have 2 major problems with contractors that made me pass on it:

1. Aim assist - as long as it’s in game I’m out.
2. Mechanics and controls - clunky and makes you spend too much time on looting, grabbing, attaching etc.

There is a fine line between realistic and arcade mechanics all while focusing on the “fun” element, and that’s unfortunately completely missed.

Regarding the responsiveness of devs. Definitely 💯
They are quick to reply and implement all the good things they can take from pop1 (for example redeploys)

But! Remember that BB were exactly like that in the first year of pop1. Then they were bought out by Meta and most communication and high pace development stopped.

It’s hard to trust the “new girl” in town after being burnt by BB.

Ie, why even bother and invest time to “git gud” if I don’t even believe in the future of the game.
I definitely want and prefer better experience, but I want a pop1 better experience.

So plz plz plz BB, give us 24 players.
It’s already in game
It works
All you need is to click a button for it to be default in public lobbies.

[crisp wyvern]

Took the words right out of my brains 💯💯💯

[covert stirrup]

showdown dont have aim assist lol

[hybrid ember]

Moot point, I’m stating facts. Feel free to check out YT videos.

BB 24 ppl lobby please 🙏
Whats the worst that can happen? We will have the same 9 people lobby we have today?

[covert stirrup]

Don't need to check out videos I've been there since the first alpha

[hybrid ember]

BB, 24 ppl lobby?

[manic basalt]

ARe they calling "virtual stock" or whatever "aim assist"?

[crisp wyvern]

Idk but I’m jealous of the huge ass lobbys either way.

[manic basalt]

Population One is battle royale on crack. It's going to be the most addictive of the BR games unless something even more fast paced comes out. They figured out how to release the serotonin. But yeah, I'm diving into other games now and getting bored of Pop One due to all the frustrations.

[elder parrot]

I agree. I've been playing a shit ton of VAIL & Breachers lately

[lucid imp]

Contractors Showdown is awesome rn too

[crisp wyvern]

All facts.

[hybrid ember]

I recommend taking some time off and playing other games.
Did that just recently and it was nice to play some quality games I have missed out on in recent years (played through “Observer” on switch, my mind was blown)

After two weeks or so the itch to pop1 comes back and you are returning as a much better player than what you were before.

BB, 24 players please? 🙏

[manic basalt]

Phoenix has up to 18 humans and 12 bots. I think they count that as up to 30 players. But often you get 9 players and and 12 bots these days.

Most importantly we need full lobbies. People here are loud about increasing the player count, but that should spotlight more that having half empty lobbies is very bad.

[compact sigil]

I had bots for a bit but now I have none. Only 2 games in this morning both 1 against 1 full squad. No bots.

[manic basalt]

(Every phoenix map has 12 bots. 2 centers guarded by 6 bots.)

[compact sigil]

Ah, I meant the ones that jump from the.platform at the start of the game.

[crisp wyvern]

Lobbies always so empty. 😭 all 57 different game modes.

[manic basalt]

I just tried to play on Phoenix. There was 5 people in the lobby 5! and the timer dropped from about 20 seconds to 5 seconds. This should not ever happen. Ever. Fix the lobby timer, so at least it doesn't skip down to 5 seconds when the lobby is empty.

I quit and logged off after that.

[clever cloak]

Timer work fine, but in phoenix they should add an option to have the kill feed

[manic basalt]

A timer going from 25 seconds to 5 seconds when there's only 7 people in the lobby is not "working fine". In no way is that "working fine". Just stop.

[clever cloak]

You just don't understand what these 30 seconds are for... there is a lot of things that don't work in this game, but the timer is not one of these

[manic basalt]

No, now you are being dishonest, I acknowledged what the 30 seconds were for in the other conversation with you. So stop with the dishonesty there.

And what you don't understand is people's perceptions, expectations and frustrations and what goes through people's heads. And you clearly have zero empathy based on all the back and forth so far. So give it up.

Nobody, in this thread especially, wants to see the 30 second timer skip to 5 seconds when there's just 6 people in the lobby.

[clever cloak]

Of course everybody is fine with it. It's useless to wait 30 seconds because nobody will come... Nobody want to wait 30sec more for nothing bro 😂

Also, I understand expectations and frustrations of the Community, no worrie. Here is the proof if you want 😉
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeKVQnr8/

[onyx frost]

False. Showdown has a timer over a minute. People wait. And a number of times I have waited +30sec in a lobby and soon as 1 player leaves it magically starts a flood of new squads in the lobby and fills.

[clever cloak]

There is no good answer. I mean, some are ok with the fact that the timer go to 5sec because we don't loose useless time for waiting nobody,
Some others wantto wait these 30 seconds to see if they'll leave the lobby or stay

In all cases, the timer is not laggy or something else like he said, it's just the way it work and for me it's fine. like, there is a lot of other thing to change than the timer, for example, the map, where a lot of things are litterally flying etc...

[clever cloak]

and people stay because there is something to do during this waiting time... In pop1 we just wait...

This is a real topic, why don't make the waiting lobby in a deathmatch mode ? And with more waiting time, this way player don't fell boring and wait more long time in a lobby

[onyx frost]

yeah i think the issue more so in pop is that we all have been in 'dead lobby' where its 4ppl and it never finds other players to add in and it just sits there for eternity, BUT when you re-queue you magically get a near full lobby instantly... sometimes its as if 1 player is a bad apple and blocking all other players from coming in, and sometimes its as if the lobby is in another universe cut off from the entire playerbase except the 4ppl in there. If they can fix that and get people assurances that waiting yields more players then over time ppl will wait

[onyx frost]

agree. adding guns was great step but playing TDM while the lobby queues has always been a great idea to me

[green gull]

I dont think there are alot of people on at that time of day tho?

[green gull]

would be easy to have TDM near stadium as well

[hybrid ember]

24 players lobby?

[elder parrot]

Would be kinda useless right now since there aren't players to fill them

[crisp wyvern]

There are plenty of players….
just spread thin between Phoenix, Evolving, Classic, Custom rooms, TDM, CTF, Hangout, Builder, Training, and the ♾️ random map playlists & maps.

[hybrid ember]

Wasn’t there another post with 70k weekly players?
We just need less lobbies and more players per lobby.

So many times I hop between lobbies and there are multiple lobbies with 1 team just waiting

[crisp wyvern]

Full Lobby's blah blah blah

Full Lobby's blah blah blah more players.

Bigger Lobby, or Full Lobby blah blah blah

[hybrid ember]

@near osprey at the very least you could have increased number of players in each lobby :\ something we have all been begging for for god knows how long.
an ubisoft level slap in the face.

[worldly quarry]

At least try 24 personal lobbies again. They always ran smooth for me. Still do in custom rooms.

[covert stirrup]

well it finally happened

half a classics lobby was bots today

[green gull]

Lobby half full tho?

[rain vault]

Still 360 second wait time and half full lobbies on consolidated game modes? Oh brother.

[rain vault]

I couldnt support classic mode, so i didnt play

[crisp wyvern]

If they’re trying to get rid of the old player base, it’s working. I got off to.

[hybrid ember]

today games were mostly full, but i noticed that ALL games that didnt fill, filled with bots, i.e in lobby there were 12\13 game started with 15.
@near osprey please remove the bots from classic its ruining the whole game. or even better remove classic and bring back evolving\pheonix as default.

[onyx frost]

we literally just ran legions on evolving map without issue here.... again. 🙂

time to move the needle back to 24 player lobbies. the least that can be done while we have classic being forced on the community

[hybrid ember]

Exactly!! At least make classic 24 people

[worldly quarry]

Add 24 player lobbies to Classic and then start to “evolve” it by adding a new POI every month until it becomes Evolving.

[hybrid ember]

24 player lobby today?

[midnight lichen]

Yea this game is cooked. Hopefully there's some sort of restructuring going on at BB ahead of the xmas rush so we can get some competent decision making in place in time for one last push to keep the game alive but I suspect everyone at BB is just checked out

[crisp wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/pablo-escobar-pablo-stan-twt-standing-grandpa-gif-15901735077073339091

Pretty sure the solution to this one is going to be bots. 😒 really hope not tho that would suck.

[rain vault]

24 person lobbies?

[crisp wyvern]

12 person lobbies?

(Trying a dif approach)

[crisp wyvern]

….. 6 person lobbies?

[green gull]

Hear me out, 3 person lobbies, solo, 3 redeploys, prox chat

[crisp wyvern]

Population: ONE ✅

[crisp wyvern]

If we’re filling lobbies with Bots anyway, why not add more & have a bigger lobby?

[hybrid ember]

6 players lobbies tops for you.

At the current state of the game, it would have been better if they brought back Metro Royal. Smaller lobbies (9 enemies if I recall correctly) and much more fun and action.

Would have been much easier to fill up lobbies as well. But god forbid we will have fun in this game.

[crisp wyvern]

Yeah fr.

[green gull]

I’ve been hosting customs from anywhere from 4-7pm EST on Phoenix and they have been a ton of fun. I know that doesn’t solve pubs but I leave the room open to friends and both of you are weoe to join if you ever see me in a custom. Which is the only custom I would be in.

[spiral thunder]

They should do metro royale. Every game of war i played last week the teams just wanted to meet in metro.

[crisp wyvern]

Thanks! When I’m on I typically do the same, just a little later in the evening.

[chilly rover]

Do u do it every day?

[green gull]

The only days I don't do it is when their is a game mode worth playing.

Which Phoenix DUOs is fun but found myself doing the customs anyways.

It's great to see alot of regulars join has a good following.

[crisp wyvern]

Give us a custom room capable of hosting a lobby with 50-100 players plz.

[crisp wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/pablo-escobar-pablo-stan-twt-standing-grandpa-gif-15901735077073339091

[onyx frost]

you deleted your initial post up top so we lost all the bananas 😦

[covert stirrup]

im not the 100th anymore :(

[hybrid ember]

with 480 comments and counting i think the point is quite clear 😉

[green gull]

Only thing I’ll say is custom rooms seem to break when I run them with 24 people. And by break I mean like blue pjs or players are stuck in a fixed position not a t-pose usually flying horizontal. Dunno if that’s Phoenix map, or legions, war on that map or the amount of players in the map but it happens everytime. Eventually the list of players gets messed up as well. People will see it incorrectly but host will see it correct for the most part. Twice I’ve had people join the room who don’t show up in player list with the map. But under room settings they do appear on team z. When I go to move them to say A it already shows them on A so I move them to B then back to A and then they show up for me on map player list but others noted they showed as blank. Point is something going on with custom lobbies it shouldn’t break.

[split night]

All the customs were breaking yesterday while we try to play something rather than classic

[onyx frost]

only seeing it in phoenix map runs though right? evolving and sandbox with the number not mesing up?

[split night]

They were messing up yesterday

[green gull]

haven't ran that in customs yet and would have to play nearly full for a few games to see it start to degrade.

[crisp wyvern]

[onyx frost]

Had 21 ENEMIES on evolving in pubs just now! Was beautiful

[harsh hound]

I agree 🔥

Yes I was very surprised. It was as awesome!

[worldly quarry]

Looks like 24 person lobbies might be here to stay! We did it everyone. 🫡 Now let's focus our efforts on getting the Classic map retired.

Agree but , respectfully, we shouldnt be the ones making an effort... Thats the suppliers job

You must be a BLAST at parties. 😆

24 X 2 on Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 next please.

Why would I? We've been asking for permanent 24 person lobbies for 2 years now. I know you are some weird kind of troll but you are less than helpful/productive with your approach to conversing with individuals around here.

[worn parcel]

bsfr…

[feral rivet]

wait the 23 player lobby's are already gone?

[split night]

Yeah

[hybrid ember]

Oh it was just a weekend mode?

So dumb….so not only we know it can work well on evolving with 24 players. We are still being punished with classic during the week 🤣

BB are just trolling at this point.

Fingers crossed that by the time I get back from vacation this game will not be limited to plat during weekends only.

[split night]

Yes , yes , yes , yes , it wont be fixed this is juat spike teolling

[feral rivet]

i bet a lot more players play on the weekends and that's why they have all the fun stuff then

if not i don't know what there doing🤷

[worldly quarry]

He’s not the one making those decisions.

[split night]

Yes he is

[covert stirrup]

proof please

[split night]

Who is the community growth manager?

[covert stirrup]

so community managers choose what happens with the game, not the actual developers of the game?

[split night]

He is not a community manager, he is the community growth manager. It was his decision to try to bring more people during the weekends and grow the community that way. He is trying a scheme of giving people what they want to keep them with interest, which is a sign of weakness and desperation, that strategy does not work on any business, cause as I said, people loose mor einterest instead of keeping them engaged, cause they show WEAKNESS

[covert stirrup]

so are you actually going to show proof he came up with those choices orrrrrrrr

[split night]

But you are too young to understand how business works, you are just in lobe with him , such as so many others who have spoke with him 2 times but he is a pretty cool and nice guy

[covert stirrup]

going to take that as a no

[split night]

Hahahahaha no proof needed

Bigbox has 2 employees

So yes , its him

[covert stirrup]

totally

[split night]

Imagine making this kind of decisions working home office lol

They dont even have askfor feedback tontheir community

People make the decisions of what they think its the best

Not what the people really want

This community is like Venezuela

[hybrid ember]

Maybe they try the same as other pancake games. If you take a look at Apex, Fortnite, Overwatch. They are all returning to “classic” modes.

Only problem is that pop1 is not any of the above, so going back to classic is pointless.

I’m still in the full belief that this is directed by Meta, pop1 has a very loyal playerbase, and if you won’t take this playerbase out of their comfort zone they will always be playing that 1 game instead of exploring other games in the platform and paying more money to Meta.

[onyx frost]

Nope it's not go troll somewhere else

[split night]

Yes it is

[crisp wyvern]

Big ole Juicy lobby.

[hybrid ember]

The best they can do is only on weekends, once a month 😉

[crisp wyvern]

*will -can

[hybrid ember]

Me small English. Understand you

“Will”
“Can”
Bottom line is they “won't”

[crisp wyvern]

Bring back Legions.

[onyx frost]

Have no fear we get war this weekend 😭

[split night]

War is terrible in pubs

Good mode, not in pubs

[onyx frost]

100% agree. Phoenix mode, Legions and squads not on classic map are the bread n butter

[crisp wyvern]

-Put 10 teams on Phoenix
-drop redeploy height by half

The special game modes with more players in the lobby are great! Can we keep that for the main modes? Whichever ones are the main modes 🤷‍♂️ love it.

Phoenix has been much more enjoyable with 24 person lobbies. Would love to see it with 4 pod platforms & 12 teams of 3 (36 person lobby).

Spent an hour trying to find a full lobby with all regions open.. waited and got 2 games played in that hour. Biggest lobby was 6v6 on Phoenix… not sure if this is a matchmaking issue, or a player-base issue, but it makes me not want to play this game.

Will gladly wait for a full lobby, however, we were waiting for incomplete/small lobbies. Not worth the time. Classics empty & same issue.

I had over 300 friends online during this time and watched other streamers play in full lobbies continuously.. I can’t think of anything else I could possibly change to be placed into a full lobby.

Are you US based?

[crisp wyvern]

I am. East coast.

[green gull]

Thats really odd as I am east coast as well

[crisp wyvern]

Are you having any trouble finding full lobbies in a reasonable time frame at all?

[green gull]

Not at all

[crisp wyvern]

Trade headsets..? 🙏

I didn’t have any issue finding full lobbies quickly today. 🫶

I gotta say I am not a fan!

[green gull]

Not a fan of evolving?

[chilly rover]

No. Not compared to phoenix for example. I don't think they should have evolving and classic on at the same time. They have the same type of game play.

[harsh hound]

Phoenix and evolving

[worldly quarry]

This is the move. 🛎️🛎️

[harsh hound]

I won’t come back till evolving is permanent 🤣
