The times listed are either during work hours. or in the middle of sleep hours. What do I do?

I suggest making the windows broader.

This was always a problem in the OG with an Arena fight mode, in the end it died a death because very few used it, I hope the same doesn’t happen with Magichess, because I am quite a fan of it, it’s just this ridiculous time gate that might turn people away from this nice piece of new content

I would say ideally 6 time slots (per 4 hours) per day would be great, but I think 4 times slots (per 6 hours) might work too, if they want to keep this system.

But it seems to me that either they don’t have good matchmaking system, or they are worried that it would be difficult to find opponents in higher ranks if they allow it through all day.

And honestly they should increase rank from when this happens too. 1000 points seems too low.

I would suggest bots to fill in if participation is an issue. If things don't change, I won't be using this content long since the times are also bad for me.

I agree, need to add more time slots. I can't play this mode because, no way I wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning 😭

Just take away live pvp for the standard mode and have ai play defense mode like the merge tower defence games.

Create a live pvp tournament that has the limited time matchmaking for the pvp.

Adjust ranking requirements and rewards accordingly. I just want to play the game mode and try different team comps without getting rekt by the tactical adventure balance.

(Could turn off legacy coffer/core for live pvp tournaments too. Or just make it full max for balance.)

The numbers are just random blurb. Change it to make it fair according to wtvwr statistics devs have

Or even bring in a sandbox or infinite mode. Let the bots have unlimited unit cap or multiple boss/elite mobs. I just want to play and progress and experiment

ya this for sure needs to change or the mode will die. by making the time slots limited i guess they are trying to condense all the people down so Q times are short... this has never worked in the past. it actually has the opposite effect, as soon as players have friction they just go do something else and avoid the hassle.

it would be better to keep it open all day and have slightly longer Q times. at least then people would play it. as it stands right now it will only get played for event completion, other then that it will go the same way that live arena did back in the day.

Or maybe open it for week end only. I dont Knowl seem there is not many solution.

Not a fan of a couple of days a week idea, but definitely would like more timeslots. Or wider ones, although I think more hour slots evenly distributed would accomodate more people.

Because we are all in different parts of the world, the way to solve this is to add more time slots.
