Battle Royale & Teammate Medal

[jmj19]

The Team Medals is great, and I like the Battle Royal game. If I may make a suggestion, once a player is eliminated from a BR game, s/he should be allowed to enter a new one immediately (I have to wait 10 days to play another after I was killed).
And different maps.
Other than that, great stuff.

We will continue to evaluate how often Battle Royales can be played, this is sort of our first test! In regards to different maps, the Carographer Team will soon be working on some Foundry information for mapmakers that want to take on creating a Battle Royale map, so hopefully we'll eventually get some map flavor added!

My BR suggestions list:
Play for a BR medal not points
Show the next upcoming BR settings
Allow sign up after elimination

Sounds good to me. Thanks.

Points won is capped at 100 per losing player. 52 players. So in a standard game, the theoretical max win is 5100 points, is this correct? I mean, someone right at the lower end of the scoreboard could jump to Conqueror with one win. That'd be pretty funny

What should any medal look like?

any chance you make some of the battle royal with rank limit?
playing such big game with cooks makes it random...

[docchaos]

could you do the same thing with game finder as you did with join a game.

Apparently this hasn't even been comented on so far. I'd pretty much like that too, since I always use the game finder to join games.

And while we're talking about the game finder: Could you please add the Colosseum map to the game finder? Or is there any other way to find BR games and I'm just too stupid to see it?

Colosseum is indeed an option in the game finder map picklist, towards the bottom. It is a 'Closed' map (since it isn't open to publicly created games).

You can also search for Battle Royale games using the Game Finder's 'tournament' finder, by say searching for 'lackattack' as an organizer, or 'Battle Royale' as the name of the tournament.

But simply clicking on the Battle Royale link is the easiest if you are looking to join a game!

That really won't get you all the BR games. Just the BR games since the update. Past BR games need to be found too!!

His question seemed to be only about the new BRS, not old!

Seems like every time I've checked lately, the games have been Terminator. Is that just how it's randomly turned out or is there some kind of problem that's causing terminator games to be produced at a higher rate?

Edit: Now that I think about it, I don't think that I've ever seen assassin. Aren't all the settings in play and it's just randomly chosen which ones get picked?

Edit2: Of course, maybe the games have been slow to fill and I've been seeing the same ones every time I check in.

I think lack set it such that there's one Terminator and one Standard. Assassin would be too broken.

I'm pretty sure this is correct. I believe there is one of each. I may be wrong about that.

Assassin would be bad on a game like this though.

When I looked, it was 2 Terminator. Perhaps they are set to alternate. Maybe I was looking at the same games for a while and it just so happened that both ones were up as Term. I see that right now there is 1 Std and 1 Terminator

Upon further thought, that's probably what it is. If it was ALWAYS 1 Term and 1 Std, then unless both games filled at the exact same time, either the FS or Seq game would ALWAYS be Term or ALWAYS be Std and the other one would be the opposite.

Yes, that's it.

You don't need one.

You can join one Battle Royale every 30 days. No password needed. Just click in the Area where it says Battle Royale on the left side-menu.

Unless the standard spots are going like hot cakes, I don't think that the BRs are alternating anymore. I looked last night and there were a couple Terminator games with only a few spots left. I looked this evening and it looks like one of the terminator games was replaced with another terminator game.

If it is the case that the standard ones are going that fast, then maybe standard should be offered more often. If it's just that it's stuck on terminator that needs to be fixed.

I looked at the most recent terminator games and 9 out of 12 have been terminator. Something is broken if this is supposed to be alternating.

Out of all the games 73 have been Terminator and only 19 have been standard. Even if the system was just choosing between the two randomly, that makes no sense.

[greenoaks]

i think the idea of mostly Terminator is so the winner of a BR isn't catapulted into Conquerer by winning it

[agentcom]

We were told they would alternate. I've been waiting forever to get into a game.

They alternate, just not on a 50/50 basis, I guess! I know that there are supposed to be more Terminator games for the reason that greenoaks has stated above.

I find playing the Terminator games very frustrating when combined with the 30 day waiting period. It's not much fun waiting for a month to join a game that you are eliminated from before you even get to play a turn. The Standard games don't encourage players to go for kills on the first few rounds.

Quite true. You am always try terminator freestyle...
