#Swap the locations of the Royale button and Custom Game button on the UI

  1. Royale will probably be (and is) kinda dead since you have to go out of your way to find it, putting it in the main multiplayer menu will make it more likely for players to join, especially if the royale has a super lobby. At the moment a lot of people probably don't even know old qp is still playable, it being very "out of sight, out of mind".

  2. It makes more sense for the button to create custom rooms is with other custom lobbies. Also the custom game button should be renamed to "create room" or something like that, though that's not the main point of this post and I don't really care about the re-naming that much.

Reviving this one because there’s no reason why Royale should be in Room Listing

#

yeah there is, it's an objectively worse experience for new players lol

kind cedar
#

that doesnt necessarily mean it should be hidden like this

#

making the option more well known might be a good thing

#

qp2 is the more flashy and obvious one

#

but some new players might enjoy royale more

#

and reviving it a little would be nice

#

champion of the lobby currently is an annoying achievement because there isnt a consistent active lobby like old qp was

mental mountain
#

If new players feels frustrated with royale, just go to tl or zenith

#

There’s no reason to place it in room listing while the shinier qp exist

#

as a new player i wouldn't expect you to recognize the difference between "quick play" and "royale"

you'd probably see quick play and think "well i want to play with other people and i know what battle royale means"

kind cedar
#

i would

#

you see qp and go

#

“well i want to play quickly”

#

so

#

idk

#

we may describe it as a true hardcore experience, which isn't recommended for new players

#

like the Hypixel Pit

#

i know overwatch quick play is still multiplayer, but i still emphasise with the fact that https://tetralegends.app/ is the only other tetris quick play i know of lol

mental mountain
#

Have you guys considered changing modes flavor text, because i think adding “(not recommended for new players)” would make them move to qp or tl

#

I like both qp but i cant stand a “royale” lobby with just 3 players

stark pollen

#

and not this isn't recommended

#

Or just say what it is:
Quick Play 1.6 experience

mental mountain
#

Also put royale below tl and qp is already nuff to say that this is not recommended gamemode

stark pollen
#

below custom

#

lmao

#

I really feel like the room creation button belongs in the listing tab

#

since in multiplayer there are MODES

#

and in the room listing there are ROOMS, which you CAN CREATE THERE.

mental mountain
#

And then we have both qp and royale, they would think “if royale is a battle royale room, then what is quickplay is if it not battle royale”

#

And then we have players in room (the number on the right side of qp/ryl)

stark pollen
#

qplay ain't no battle royale

mental mountain
#

Would new players prefer playing in a less player room or more players

stark pollen
#

it's a completely unique gmode

stark pollen
#

and not die in first 10 seconds

Qplay is a competitive game mode while royale would be a bigass room for everyone to fight for first place

fallen skiff
#

Exactly

stark pollen
#

and it's a game MODE

#

MODES are listed in the MULTIPLAYER section

#

while ROOMS (configurable) are in the room listing

#

so swapping royale with custom would be a right choice

fallen skiff
#

I do think the feature request here has a point. And I would like to see it there too instead of custom games.

And maybe change the description of Room listings to: Join public games or create your own Maybe this could also result to rename Room Listing to Custom GameS

mental mountain
#

Its like
“Are you tired of quickplay, lets go royale”
“Is royale too hard, do some quickplay”

fallen skiff
#

Or just have all 5 of them anyways, there is plenty of space there anyways

stark pollen
#

but no symmetry 😦

#

so better swap

fallen skiff
#

Like on a normal 1920x1080 screen there is still enough space

#

Even the Mainmenu has 5 and even less space, because of banners etc.

because this is kinda where it should've belonged in the first place

fallen skiff
stark pollen
#

I mean it's an extra click but it is, again, not a mode

#

it's a room url bar

#

so it belongs where rooms are

yes for sure, but that is not so easy to do with just plain HTML Editing

#

I just wanted to give my point a basic visual reference

stark pollen
#

or you can put something like recommended for first playthrough for the description of the qp2

#

There are dozen of ideas and solutions that can achieve to show royale on the main multiplayer menu too

stark pollen
#

as otherwise it looks like an abandoned building that people visit to look at the ruins

#

and it almost always has no one in it

fallen skiff
#

I wouldn't be suprised if the old QP / Royale will be removed entirely

stark pollen
#

and I personally think royale shall have the old b2b system too

stark pollen
#

At first I thought it was gone

#

that's another thread so

#

anyone here?

mental mountain
#

Chat ded like Royale lol

stark pollen
#

This is the best reason to move it to multiplayer instead of room lst

mental mountain
#

A dead gamemode should be accessible, not being obscured

people who play a lot might forget this but there are in fact 2 layers of menu and not just one, most of the time experienced players just auto pilot click multiplayer but a new player will see the text "multiplayer" and "singleplayer" and process what it means before pressing

main summit
#

maybe add a level req like tl? I don't think that's the best idea but if you REALLY don't want new players to even think about playing royale then that would work

lavish wing
#

the pros would probably lynch us if anons could no longer access royale lol

I like the idea of having it under TL on the menu and also having a level requirement before accessing royale since players are definitely going to playing up against players higher than their rank. In fact you could make it so that the requirement is higher than TL which will kind of make sure that a. new players will already learn what the game is about and how to play it and b. they’ll have the incentive to continue grinding levels thus continue playing the game until they unlock royale.

As for pros wanting to play as anons, I don’t see that being an issue if you add achievements for royale.

Imo current royale died because it was hidden at a spot where most people want to play 1v1s in the first place. Even if people do want to play royale, they’ll look at the player numbers of 3 or 4 and just don’t bother playing in the end due to the low numbers, causing an endless cycle of not getting anyone to join.

what if I want to invite some random person into royale

#

now I wouldn't be able to

#

also royale is kinda old and outdated. A battle royale kinda works with Tetris 99 since there's multiple rooms going on at once

#

meanwhile royale (former quick play) is just one room. If someone dies early on, they had to wait for everyone else to lose so they could have a chance to try again and possibly lose immediately once more
