Maybe have like a mercy rule so if a match is ending up too lopsided it starts a final countdown?
I think it's more likely that we will add join in progress to the mode to solve this problem. 150 would be a lot more feasible if the lobby remained full.
Cool! Thanks for responding (and to the other post....boy I'd love to see the stats!)
FYI circle had a very slight bias towards the middle, I pulled it out for 12.0
Dusty, Can you confirm that SBMM is in Rumble? I would just like to hear it officially. All my lobbies are 12 on 12 to start and my wait times are 2-4 minutes. It would just be nice to hear that it isn't a glitch with my account.
@charlie Can you let me know what region you are in and in fact exactly how long your wait times are (time it). One of our programmers would like to investigate, as MAX wait time should be 2 minutes. If you could send us logs, that would be ideal.
Being time based doesn't prevent that happening. Lots of sports are time based and still have those dramatic last second moments of drama.
The problem I have when I drop into team rumble is that the good games seem not to last long enough. I understand the issue with the higher kill count (especially on the old map where people could loot quicker and get to circle quicker) that some games would drag (especially the 200 kill games when half the lobby left!!). However the best games are the ones where a bit of individual rivalry builds and the speed that current TR feels as though it finishes in (accepting this is subjective), they rarely have chance to really become as enjoyable as they could.
It’s a fine line either way, but I’ll check the stats and make sure average match length isn’t too short.
Also unrelated to this comment (but I really appreciate you getting involved in the discussion on TR)...
Some of the best games I've had in TR (this season) are on the edges of the map where the terrain is more unusual. I really feel the nature of TR lends itself to these places far more than the BR modes. It's also a fun way to getting to play in areas of the map that are far less often visited but are really interesting in their design. Don't know how that gets incorporated into the current spawn mechanism but it's something I'd love to see given a bit of thought.
Thanks for the input, I’ll take a look at the circles tomorrow and make sure they’re not biasing towards the middle at all.
Since skill based matchmaking is in TR, have you considered adding Siphon back? Getting constantly shot in the back or as you land gets quite annoying and removes a lot of the fun from the mode.
(Making the SBMM a bit more loose in TR, would also be nice. Ever since it was added, TR has become a bit too passive IMO)
We are talking about doing 25 siphon to health only, to give you a little bump per elim. Not sure if it’ll ship yet or not.
MM is much looser than core modes, but I’ll take a look at it.
Would TR work better if the end was time based rather than elim based?
Preventing people from being able to continually join, do a challenge, quit and join another game for the weeklies would probably help too.
I think you would lose those cool moments where you got the last kill for the win, or it’s 99-99 and everyone is trying to get the last shot in.
Maybe remove gliders?
Maybe...
Hey devs
Can we have disco domination or food fight in this season??or any kind of large team mode ltm. We totally done playing rumble
Please let me know. Both mode deserve more love
We are working on bringing deep fried to the new map
Getting good guns is difficult. The care packages don’t have two legendary items like they used to. Maybe take out common rarity guns and beef up the supply drops like they were in days of yore and we won’t loot compulsively in early game?Just a thought😃
We are play testing blue and up right now
I agree with you but I'd rather have a long game happening a few times, than a quick game happening every time.
we saw that during the couple weeks we ran it at 150
Everyone loved the way it was during those weeks, a few people complained but it was in the end of season 9 when team rumble lobbies ended with sometimes 4 players per team, because people went crazy to get 100 fortbytes and the season challenges, people used to immediately leave the match after doing a couple fortbytes or other challenges, so please take this into consideration.
I’ll look into nudging it up a bit, no promises though 😀

It is
150/200 elims will increase the chances of the game becoming lopsided and stretching on too long - we saw that during the couple weeks we ran it at 150.
We are going to make a handful of updates to the mode in 12.0 though, I can see about giving everyone a few hundred mats @ match start so you can get into the action more quickly.
Hut watch
Nah this one will be much faster. Hut watch... let's just say the beginnings of that have been in progress for a few builds already, but nobody has picked up on it quite yet :)
I agree, it’s just so bland.
Give us a bit, we'll get it hotfixed on.
This has happened before with the hunting rifle in sniper shootout. They hotfixed them in the last time. Hopefully they will do the same.
Yeah, we are still clearing out some of the LTM cobwebs, hoping to get a hotfix out soon with more weapons. Hunting Rifle, Heavy, Suppressed and Semi will be added.
Thanks for the heads up, fixed in 11.30
Great minds think alike! The UI team has been hard at work improving the locker, I believe the search by season feature should work as of next week's update.
Great story. I've been playing with my son since October 2017 when we launched, and he's now a million miles better than me but we still have a great time hanging out on the island a few nights a week :)
I've worked on many games, most of them M rated, so it's great to be on a project that I can enjoy with my kids. Glad you players out there feel the same way!!
Oh weird, the material given is based off the texture and not the model?
The object has a default material, but the paint can override it.
