Have 5 people picking maps rather than 2. There are 5 slots. So have 5 people randomly selected to pick maps. Its that simple
The lobby browser is nice and all, but 95% of the lobbies (that arent private) are just people hosting maps that are already featured..... Its absolutely pointless to do that! The alternative is waiting around for a half hour for people to join your own public lobby. It just takes too long sometimes.
No need to have as many featured map slots as there are because the majority of people would be selecting featured maps anyways.
So to recap.......5 slots + 5 map pickers = more chances to get your maps played in the suggested maps lobby = win.
5 map pickers? If your playing solo. Then you got worse odds to win if others rolling in a party which would be the majority for picking. Heck playing 3 hours which was the average before I won a pick 3. Most people keep picking the same old toy room or nuke town or pirate ship map. Map picking is what chased the majority away from this game first couple months in. 21 days we will be at 5 months from March 27. Most server browser barely shows 4 full rooms most of the time. Get out of the lame suggest a map and host a map you want. Problem solved. Best to have a bunch of friends though cause it takes a while to get a room going.
Unless your trying to get your map into the suggested maps playlist.......which Ubisoft doesnt make it clear on how to do that. It matters to some people.
That being said, having your map played alot doesn't necessarily mean it will get featured.........ive seen maps get featured the same week they were published. It was almost like Ubisoft knew they going to feature someones map ahead of time, no matter what the map actually was, they didnt even have to see the map, and they were just waiting until the map was finished so they can feature it.
People aren't just selecting featured maps, they're also selecting maps using the filters "newest', "most played", "top rated", etc.
The Arcade Hero feature already exists which allows people to try out maps with low play count created by other users and give ratings on them. There is ample opportunity in this way for your map to be played and appreciated accordingly.
So thats my idea for getting your maps played more. 5 selected map pickers. Its a win for everyone. Even people that dont make maps. I dont see anything wrong with having more people being able to pick maps. Some people just want to be chosen for the sake of it. So having more chances is better for everyone. Dont want to pick? Fine then sit there and it will automatically pick one for you
Yngwie the map pickers should be picked based on if they have published maps and if they do then they should pick published maps only to many people have the option to vote and there vote is meaningless because they pick the first thing they see.
Far cry 5 is about new experiences not about crappie feature maps which clearly ubisoft is not fairly picking maps.
Feature map should come and go like the wind every good map maker should have a feature. Shame on ubisoft for using so many good map makers and not caring about the time they spent.
Not saying my maps are the best ive seen comparatively different maps but i should have at least one feature map i have a dozen very fun maps but they will stay 3-4 star due to ubisoft not having proper programming in the game to be fair to real map makers no instead lets make it fair for someone who is tweeting to Ubisoft.
