    [FEEDBACK] Last Stand has been deserted since 1.7

    @Ubi, can I please suggest that game modes such as Last Stand and Skirmish are re-looked at in a way that it attracts its player base.

    Especially talking about Last Stand, it was seen as the major expansion brought along with 1.6 and that's why I purchased the DLC however a lot of players have noticed that this game mode has been deserted.

    I am mainly talking about the Pacific area, I remember back then with 1.6 at evening around 20:00 you could queue for a minute or 2 only but now it is pointless.

    When 1.7 dropped with the first classified, LS was not that played as before but now you can't even get a singly game as when you queue, you can at best see 1 or 2 other in your queue and then they will leave one by one.

    The same goes with Skirmish as well.

    I would suggest that maybe when our CM run the stats regarding LS and skirmish participation.

    It is not conceivable that the DZ is the only interaction way to have a PVP interaction.

    People are deserting those game modes because of the obvious high usage of cronus max users and all other reasons, for the sake of those players who bought the season pass, I am sure you can, in a next update, list it among your priority.

    I love this game alongside with other UBI title which I own (Ghost Recon and Rainbow 6) and for which, as a token to support those titles, I bought the season passes and year passes.

    Thanks for considering the above feedback.

    Only 4% of TD players have completed even a single round of LS, I don't know the stats for Skirmish but it's probably similar.

    In a different game these would probably be more popular, but most players bought TD for the solo and coop cover-shooter play. Plus, of course, the gearsets that players grinded for or stole are suddenly "normalised" in these two modes, which kinda defeats the grind. It's a tough balancing act for Massive to achieve which they don't seem to have managed yet.

    Let's face it, in TD the majority of what is called PvP is really just ganking, and I guess the gankers are scared of meeting real PvP'ers in LS and Survival,

    I wonder if they could do something similar to GEs.

    Sort of an event. Take one weekend per month when PvP is turned off in the DZ. During that weekend, rewards are increased in Skirmish and Last Stand. Maybe PvPers just need a push out of the DZ to play those game modes more. They could also do something with commendations / vanity rewards for people who participate.

    Fully agree with this idea. The DZ should not be the only place to have PVP activities. That's where I believe that there is a need for a focused PVE DZ to prevent any ganking.

    I really hope that TD2 will improve in some significant ways where TD1 has failed.

    Let's hope for the best

    If you really want to play, maybe you can use VPN to connect the EU server. I do not play LS for a while, but I play a lot Skirmish recently. The waiting time is not that long. Of course, if you do use VPN, you may be the reason that the game become lagging. But I think there are some good VPN service available.

    Weird, every time a GE rolls around and people show up on the leaderboards with impossible scores, the claim is that all you have to do is hoard Last Stand caches and then open them all up for GE credits at once. But if Last Stand is deserted and no one is playing it, where are people getting all those caches from?

    Survival? Survival is more deserted than LS, isn't it? Every time I lose patience while waiting.

    I guess it depends on platform. I've been in sessions with 20+ and session with 2 or 3 players
    You don't wait for a full session like PvP.

    Yesterday night 22:00 Fiji time, I literally felp asleep on the couch waiting for only 3 players to join the game, by the time I woke up, I was the only queuing and that's was about 30min later.
