Temporary changes to the PvP missions format on PC
Hello, survivors!
Sometimes you can face a number of issues during battles in the Wasteland. We’re not even talking about the skills or superior firepower of opponents, after all, you can overcome these challenges by progressing in the game. Rather, we mean more nuanced problems that we would like to help solve, including:
- The feeling of insufficient personal contribution to each battle (unless, of course, you’re the one player who single-handedly defeated the whole enemy team). Some players might feel that they could be a more effective and valuable participant of a battle and have their actions bear more significant results;
- Poor teamwork in standard battles, lack of coordination, teammates driving away alone or in pairs in different directions;
- the feeling of chaos: players dogpiling each other, receiving random damage only because of accidentally driving into the center of the action, and not because of someone was actually targeting you;
- Bumping into each other in smaller locations and narrow paths, having difficulty navigating the points of interest because of bumping into others;
- And finally, you must admit to the wish to sometimes kick the AI players off the team, since it’s impossible to communicate with them even if you try.
Taking all of the above into account, we have an important announcement for the PC players: today, on February 2, at about 08:00 GMT, we will make some experimental changes to the format of mission battles (in standard PvP and “Patrol”) from “8x8” to “6x6”. The new format of the battles will be active until February 9.
We hope that the change will help reduce the issues we mentioned and place more importance on each player in a battle.
It’s very important to note that the change in format does not affect the minimum required number of players in a team. As before, each team will have at least 4 players, while the maximum possible number of AI players will be reduced from 4 to 2.
During the week, as well as right after the experimental change ends, we will be waiting for your feedback in this special thread. We would like to ask you to only use this thread for giving your constructive feedback or suggestions so that we can get all of your messages without missing anything.
Thank you all in advance for participating, and see you in battles!
