The state of closed beta is ugly. We're dipping lower and lower. We still haven't stopped bleeding playres. Yesterday we bled 20 and now down to 50 24hour peak. Can the dev team actually try their hardest for one release, try to fix as many issues as possible. Do a big balance shakeup so things don't feel as stale as release. Then open the beta. I don't see amazon giving this game a chance for much longer until we do some kind of push now. I don't think anyone expected that closed beta would be this bad and make so many more players leave so quickly. Another thing is to stop hosting tournaments, these are clearly a joke and theres a clear trend of dislike going in the community towards the tournaments now. It's the most we get from the devs, and we should be getting different stuff. Still not much communication about the recent playtest either. I urge you if you don't want Amazon to pull the plug open the beta as fast as possible. All the signs you're giving players so far are that the game won't exist much longer. All those tournaments with the weird incentive that feel dishonest aka scaling prizepool thing is just you being dreamy about esports in your game could be if it was good. Give us substance. Now. You don't see any positivity here anymore. The community needs it.

For the beta, we completely hear your concern and understand the player counts dropping until we add more people in. We'll be sending new keys out in the future, and in the meantime will be setting up some tools in our public Discord for players to find additional players in addition to the weekly Thursday playtests where our team will be hopping on and playing with everyone - a weekly dedicated time for everyone to be able to find matches.

Those playtests take place from 11am - 2pm & 6pm - 9pm Pacific every Thursday.
