Player requirements updates for Classic Solos

[buoyant mountain]

Mediatonic has set for a long time special player requirements and round restrictions for Classic Solos, Some of them are correct and makes sense for the round and the show, some don't. And since Mediatonic disabled the SBMM for all non-ranked shows. I think it's a good time to update the player requirements and round restrictions for non-ranked shows. Here's what i think should be updated in Classic Solos roundpool for the non final rounds as a reply to this post :

What i think should be updated in Solos roundpool for the non final rounds player requirements and round restrictions :

Bubble trouble : 11-24 -> 11-32 players
Button Bashers : 8-16 -> 8-30 players
Frantic Factory : 11-24 -> 11-30 players
Fruit Chute : 11-30 -> 11-32 players
Hoverboard Heroes : playable round one
Hyperdrive Heroes : 11-24 -> 11-30 players + Playable round 1
Perfect match : 11-24 -> 20-32 players
Ski Fall : 11-24 -> 20-32 players
Sum Fruit : Playable round 1
Stompin'Ground : 9-40 -> 20-40 + Playable round 1
The Slimescraper : 2-40 -> 20-40 players + Playable round 1
Slime Climb : 9-40 -> 20-40 players + Playable round 1

if you guys have any suggestions of player requirements or round restrictions for Classic Solos, let me know in the comments of this post so Mediatonic could take a look at it and make actions is this could be necessary. Feedback is very important and valuable (not saying this because my feedback of using Hex-a-terrestrial as the fallback round for classic shows has been implemented to the game )

Honestly mediatonic first should fix Duos and ESPECIALY Squads player counts
it much worse there

[unreal sonnet]

Speed Circuit: 11-32
Short Circuit: 11-32
These rounds are so rare to get otherwise with so many rounds possible as Round 1, plus both still arent in Duos and Squads (even tho it easy to add it by removing lap system)

[buoyant mountain]

i think both should be 20-32 because they will be less enjoyable if there's less than 20 players at least, these rounds aren't supposed to be semi-finals imo

ans since their current minimum player are set to 25 players you can currently only play it as round one

these rounds are quite long to complete for semi-finals since you have to race 2 laps, i think these rounds should be playable in round 1 and 2

[unreal sonnet]

fair take

[buoyant mountain]

i will make separated feedbacks for it (if no ones makes them before me )

[unreal sonnet]

oh boi, cant wait

[golden trench]

I dont think they can increase the amount of players for hyperdrive, button bashers and ski fall because there is not enough places to get divorced at these levels.
(But I ain't intirely sure)

[buoyant mountain]

Ski Fall has 50 active spawn points
Hyperdrive Heroes has 30 active spawn points
Same for Button Bashers

increasing the maximum players for these rounds in Solos wont create player overlap issues

[golden trench]

Oh, I didn't know that, interesting.

[buoyant mountain]

when 60p lobbies were still a thing, here were the player requirements for these rounds :

Ski Fall : 30-50 players
Hyperdrive Heroes : 10-30 players
Button Bashers : 12-30 players

[naive sentinel]

Actually, buttons bashers has a player count of 8-16 in solos. It’s 11-24 in knockout.

[buoyant mountain]

huh yes, that's what i wrote

if think you've confused it with Frantic Factory which is just below

[naive sentinel]

I saw that you edited it.

[buoyant mountain]

it wasn't for this btw, and it was way before you noticed it

[naive sentinel]

Oh, I see

[naive sentinel]

Here’s another one that could be changed.
Freezy peak 25-32 > 20-32 (it’s like that in squads and duos)

[unreal sonnet]

Dud, that how it should be, its wrong in duos and squads.

[naive sentinel]

Well, back when 60 player lobbies were a thing, it had a player count of 20-40

[unreal sonnet]

mhm, but those were 60s days... times have change and this became starter since 40s

but wouldnt mind if it was 20-32 in solos aswell, since i like it, but what should change is qualify percent in Duos and Squads, way too brutal for start

[naive sentinel]

Yeah

As long as they vault Hoopsie Legends I'm happy.

[naive sentinel]

Vault hoopsie legends from what?

[hasty linden]

Everything

[naive sentinel]

NO! That would be a terrible idea

[hasty linden]

Nope, would be a great idea. Can I tempt you with Hoop Chute added instead? Or basically any creative level?

[naive sentinel]

No. It’s always a bad idea to remove Unity maps unless they are broken

[hasty linden]

This game isn't MKT tho.

[naive sentinel]

Smh it isn’t. But it’s still a bad idea to remove maps for no reason because it’s basically vaulting (and no one likes vaulting)

[hasty linden]

I think we've grown used to vaulting and that most wouldn't mind if outdated boring RNG maps are vaulted.

[naive sentinel]

No. Then it would remove variety

[hasty linden]

That's the thing. I almost always get Hoopsie Legends when playing any of the solo shows. So for me it literally ruins the variety + is the most boring map in the game

[naive sentinel]

Still, it’s just a bad idea to remove any map because it might be someone’s favourite map

[unreal sonnet]

Vaulting is for broken rounds, not hated rounds, then not single round would be ingame

[buoyant mountain]

Hi Bastet 👀

[cerulean seal]

[buoyant mountain]

For Knockout maybe, but for the classic shows where it's all about classic rounds (which Hoopsie Legends is one of them) sounds counter-intuitive

[cerulean seal]

this will make less sense as time goes on

[buoyant mountain]

The goal of classic shows is to allow the players to play all rounds Mediatonic made from S1 to SS3 in a single roundpool, and not rotating them

[cerulean seal]

and duos is awesome with it

[hasty linden]

@naive sentinel @unreal sonnet Isn't it obvious my first message was kinda a joke tho? I really dislike that boring map that's been stalking me for years, but I'm also not trying to start a movement to get it removed and I know my opinion like that isn't relevant and that it's not even worth for us discussing 🙂

[buoyant mountain]

Oh ok it was sarcasm then

My bad

I was trying to catch up with the convo

[hasty linden]

No worries, was a lame comment from me to begin with 😅 And not sth I was trying to start a discussion about

[unreal sonnet]

Hmm couldnt really tell
but i always say/meantion that when someone says "i hate this round, i hope they vault it" unless it very obvious sarcasm

[naive sentinel]

Errr, no?

@buoyant mountain Sorry to ping you but I think you should make a post about player requirements in squads and duos.

[unreal sonnet]

I made one, check it out

[naive sentinel]

Peak!

Here’s two player count changes to explore classic.
Why does hoopsie legends and bounce party have a player count of 8-12 when everything else has one of 2-12.

[dusky sparrow]

I 2nd that bump

[buoyant mountain]

bump

[buoyant mountain]

also, since you guys disabled SBMM for all core shows, i think you guys should allow the rounds which have the restriction of not be selected round 1 be playable again round 1 (not only in Solos but for Duos and Squads as well)

[dusky sparrow]

agreed

[buoyant mountain]
