Not sure what the matchmaking tests Jon mentioned in discord were, but at one point it took me just under 90 mins to find a game. Around 60 people online and watched a streamer pop 3 times before my duo and I got in.
Thanks for letting us know u/shadybabynight. Are you located in North America? It may have had something to do with matchmaking regions.
I think the changes for heart of the hives are a step in the right direction. The fights feel a lot more scrappy and have more impact towards the flow of the game since the only way to heal now are the medpacks. I think what is still holding this mode back is that the map is still far too big and makes the pacing of the game slower. For a game that is a moba/hero shooter hybrid, I believe it's important to make the pacing of the game faster.
To fix this map issue, I think it could be solved by cutting the map down by 25%. This allows team to cycle around the map quickly and punishes players who stray too far from their team and teaches that staying with the team equates to a win. The pace of team fights will be faster and more constant, the effect of a faster pace also means shorter games 5 - 10 minute games and faster matchmaking.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion u/Crow290! Glad to hear you're liking the changes as well.
Hey everyone,
Welcome to this week's feedback thread! The Crucible team would love to hear your thoughts on all things Crucible - and there's a lot of new things we'd like to hear your thoughts on from last week's update!
How do you like the new Heart of the Hives experience?
How do you feel about the current state of character balance?
Here's some guidelines for giving great feedback:
Read moreOverall I think the patch is a step in the right direction. The two main criticism I have are the performance issues, which is to be expected with the new graphics, and the spawn system.
I’ve been noticing slightly lower overall frame rate (maybe damage numbers?) but certain characters have pretty poor performance. This is expected though and I am sure will get improved quickly
The spawn system is the main issue I have with this patch. While I like the fewer spawns and that each team has their own spawns I do feel like it needs some serious changes. Currently there is one set of spawns that is extremely favored. They have easier patching of farm, closer spawns, and better sight lines, to harvesters, and more favorable spawns for some of the hives. The bubbles also pose a big problem. I think I understand what you were going for with something similar to the “fountain” in MOBAs but I don’t think that works to well in this game. Health pylons were fine and didn’t ne...
Thanks for your thoughts u/GoldenMoose162! Performance is an on-going battle, and something we'll always work on improving.
We're also excited to keep working on the spawn system to make it the best fit for Heart of Hives - and will definitely keep listening to feedback on the system.
I actualy think the new update was something Crucible desperately needed!
I can't wait to see where it goes next
Thank you :)
Thanks for the report, we'll look into it!

u/daedalus311 While we're in Closed Beta and focusing on improving core parts of Crucible, there's a weekly playtest on Friday, where players can log-in and play. While the game isn't accessible without a key, queues may be spotty outside of the weekly Friday playtest.
The best patch yet, hands down. Lots of great stuff in this one. Excited to keep trying it out more!
Thanks u/Aero_TTV :)
Wow that seems like a really neat update, it's been so long since i played the game, might come back this friday!
Looking forward to seeing you in-game!
