Hey Ubi,
I was trying to be patient enough for players to fill a lobby in the new lobby system when a thought occurred to me. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a lobby type that rotated the host and allowed everyone involved a chance to get others to play on their own maps? Or possibly a lobby where all five map slots are chosen by players? I think this would open up a lot of potential for map creators to get more plays on their maps and make testing much easier. Anyways, there you go. Do with that what you will (and hopefully what you will is implement these systems)
Yes much agreed someway to tweek the lobbies to be able to do the following. This would really improve arcade.
Give map pick to everyone for user made maps only!
Give map pick to winner!! Or loser
Make playlist of maps to play on.
Add journey and assault coop modes this seems to be a must to make the best lobbies because then people that have no friends can just create a lobby and when one person enters they can quickly play. Because most lobbies are so small adding coop to lobbies would go along way.
Also would make alot of sense to add more info before joining the lobby see what map people are playing on similar to battliefield lobby would show name and pic of map and length of play.
Server browser was delivered to late. Most of the community is gone now. Also they still got suggest a map and arcade heroes. Small community segregated into three categories is pending doom from the start. Also you guys saying voting and picking maps is more less what we had from the beginning with the lame random pick 3. Most times I had to stay in one lobby for 3 hours before I got a vote.
Also the random pick three was broken and reason why the little community is left keeps picking the same old maps like nuketown or toyroom or pirateship map. No wonder good chunk of the community flocked away. To many good maps buried cause the author gave up cause he couldn't get his map voted for or didn't bother joining and playing three hours to get their maps off the ground. So the few maps were played like the millionith nuketown versions kept getting bumped up cause the little kids eat that stuff up.
I knew first week the random pick 3 wouldn't be good for mappers. I was saying it before the game was released. Also when they said DM and TDM was the only two game modes for the game on youtube video. I knew it get stale fast. Then we all knew about 6v6 last year already which I hated the back peddling of lessor players. Besides no respawning vehicles. Instant nail in the coffin.
Only fix is domination game mode and respawning vehicles and remove suggest a map. Replace suggest a map with quick match which dumps ya in the most emptied hosted lobby. Then final suggestion drop the game price to $15 already. No one else is gullible to pay full price now. Word of mouth reach around the world lobbies almost dead. Well server browser is dead. Suggest a match only active spot left. But sick of the maps picked there.
Agreed with you mostly vehicle respawning is a must.
Up the player count to at least 12 vs 12
Add coop to lobby browser
I think they can keep suggested maps but a weekly rotation never the same maps a week. For instance nuketown and 40 other maps then next week no nuketown and a new set of maps. But your idea of filtering people into other lobbies would work to. Because there needs to be someone going into those empty lobbies.
There has to be done with feature maps they make it so exclusive when there are so many awesome maps to say this map is great is not what a game with infinite maps should be about.
Promote the crap out of all map builders not one who made one good map. Promote hundreds constantly. There needs to be someone at ubisoft to play a map or just look at pic and put the map in amateur box. Anything that says easy xp or is very basic. Star system does not work.
Any game modes domination or race would fun or a new original mode
I say they have already made all there money and then some make arcade and editor free to play they already try to sell silverbars.
Free to play will get millions to dab around in far cry. But still sell the full game dont release the story just arcade.
Arcade could be legendary if it was ubisoft only focus!!!!
