I get a lot of frequent drops to 27 but then sometimes I'll go as low as single digits. Sorry this is negative. I do appreciate everything you guys do.

I discussed this elsewhere in the thread, we are working on general perf improvements.

We tested with +25/elim, but ended up leaving it out since we are turning off SBMM, which in turn means less-skilled players will be matched with players much better than them and siphon is a feature that only benefits players who get elims.

You'd be surprised at how many players get 0-1 elims in a given TR match.

SBMM is active in Solo, Duo and Squad right?

Yup

YES YES and YES

Make ammo drop like in season 10, a lot of different ammo types from one ammo box

Ammo cans should already be dropping double ammo, are you seeing otherwise?

can you elaborate on how it doesn’t perform very well on the new island? just curious! :)

We need to do general chapter 2 performance improvements before 50s will run at a good framerate.

Oh man please this. I LOVED Air Royale!

Not any time soon, unfortunately. It doesn't run very well on the new island :(

He's discussed moving Food Fight Deep Fried to the new island which has the same lava mechanics so I imagine itll come out this season

Yeah, it still needs some work but is lower priority than some new stuff we're working on, so not sure how long before we will be able to release it.

I WISH I was exaggerating. It is literally a long wait and then half lobbies when I play Rumble. Today I had to just give up and play squads twice because of the wait times.

I'm level 451, I would really like to get to 500, but it's becoming impossible because of the constant sweat. It's zero fun.

It is not droprate what makes such challenges hard, it is completing the goal with it (damage or kills). You don't have as much attempts to do it in core mods as in TR in a single match.

We will keep an eye on it. If this ends up being a problem for a lot of players, we could bring back lower-rarity weapons but at a lower spawn %.

It just means that mode won't look at player skill level when matchmaking, so you will be against random opponents.

Great changes! But wait, sbmm was on in TR? How the hell did I wind up in so many crazy sweat build battle games lol

That means you are a good player being matched with other good players :)

Why remove bandages? Is it just to free up the loot pool a bit?

Yep, makes it more likely that more desirable consumables will appear.

Nice! But I don’t see more ammo in the crates which is a must have.

Actually ammo cans should already be dropping extra ammo in TR.

Goddamn those are some good changes! Personally excited for the glider change. It always annoyed me that it was changed to an inventory item.

Hopefully it applies to other large team modes, like 50v50, when they eventually rotate back around. (speaking of which, we haven't seen 50v50 in quite a while... kinda missing it.)

Yeah we want to run it again as well, but it doesn't perform very well on the new island. We need to do a bunch of optimizations in general, but 50s in particular needs performance improvements before we can run it again.

Can we do 150 score target too?

Ah that reminds me, we upped that to 125 - I'll update the post

  • All weapons blue or better
  • Bandages removed
  • Glider redeployment now a free ability (doesn't take a slot)
  • 150/150/150 mats granted at match start
  • Skill-based matchmaking turned off
  • Increased elim goal to 125

I feel like a short term solution to this problem could have/is to increase harvesting rates. That seems like it is a hotfix and would allow people to still farm at relatively the same rate. This would allow you to fix the bug, while working around it at the same time.

The problem there is hotfixes are not platform-specific so we would be elevating farming for all platforms. Don’t worry, this will be a distant memory soon :)
