    Suggestions for World Dance Floor

    Hello Ubisoft,

    Big thanks for JD 2021(this is our second year of JD). Love the song selection and graphics on the vids are getting better and better! I wanted to give a couple of suggestions for WDF that would hopefully make it more fun. As of right now our family is started to prefer 2020 version.

    - We are not fans of the room idea, One of the coolest things to see when play JD is the large number of people dancing. It's like a whole world event. Especially during happy hour. To see all the countries really brings global community. To only see like 25 to 35 people on make it less exciting. I know its supposed to bring out competitiveness but I would do that in other ways, like showing target people you are trying to beat(4 similar skilled folks). You can show that on the right side of the screen.

    - Please bring seasons back, its something to look forward too, a good way to keep hype up and keep playing. We thought 2021 would start a new season

    - I am not sure if it suppose to be like this but please bring back old features, like team battle, boss battles, voting, weekly tournaments, and more frequent happy hour(couple times day) . One thing our family loves to see when in 2020, you start with 200+ people playing then happy hour kicks in and you are in an arena of 600+ people. It hypes us up and we are ready to do our best.

    - Also when you are having happy hour, please let it last at least full hour. In 2020 its almost like it lasts 30 to 40 mins.

    Thanks for hearing me out. Like I said before we are new fans and started with 2020 but our family loves it and we play at least 4 days a week.

    Hi Ubi,

    I completly agree with NightbirdRSV.
    I am really sad that the WDF had so much downgrade.

    For the idea of rooms, why not. I loved the feeling of playing with 100 to 1000+ peoples but maybe a lot of players feeled "bad" if they was bottom ranked and now they feel better.

    But for the others mode, I really don't understand :
    - No more global ranking
    - No more choose between two songs
    - No more bossfight
    - No more Battle between two teams

    I loved the JD 2020 WDF and could spend hours on it.
    Now, with the JD 2021 WDF I am borred after 30-45 minutes and go back playing alone.

    I still hope an update is coming to make JD WDF great again.

    Please community manager, could you please bring us an answer ? Should we have hope ? Or should we bury the JD 2021 WDF in tears and sorrow.

    Sincerely yours,
    A player who really enjoy the JD games

    Some parts I can agree with for the points presented here. I can fully agree that the World Dance Floor for this year needs more oomph than just 3 song tourneys.

    I don't know how the rooms work exactly yet, but it gives me the impression it may also behave like different servers or shards of a server too. Whether it increases stability in connections to prevent those tourney DCs or not . . . We may have to chime in if the DCs ever happened and how often. Didn't happen to me yet, but I only tried it once recently.

    Global Rankings I feel neutral about too. It felt like it more described who was dancing the most on the dance floor. I was also one of the people who would take a break playing other games, so the rank wouldn't keep for me anyways. If it averaged the scores the players got over the 40 ish songs every month, maybe it might mean more to me.

    It was unfortunate that the standard 2 song vote got removed, but I can imagine one reason. In 2018, Rockabye was one of the songs almost guaranteed to be voted in. Some other songs may not see the light of day because of this. If the chosen song was to be put on a 3 - 6 hour cooldown when it is selected, maybe it might ease this down.

    The boss battle . . . you got me there. Please bring that back. It gives people a reason to try it out for new avatars. Maybe bring back some of the old bosses too so ones from previous years can still be received.

    The battle between 2 teams didn't always get the matchmaking right for the skills of the players. Sometimes one side was off by 20 stars. I don't think anyone DCed for those moments either. The Global Ranking would need to be improved for sure to help this feature out.

    More Unlimited Happy Hours I can get behind completely. I think it needs more days and a second time (as others mention) for it to happen since not everyone can make it for just one day.

    I have also seen points from players disappointed they can't dance with friends due to the skill level rooms. For that part, I am thinking a feature to create a room (peer to peer most likely) for the friends to enter might be the best idea I got for the moment.
