Really Devs? 3rd reset with no regular FFA yet mystery heroes and other modes stay as they were?
Instead we have Mirrored DM and Gauntlet where ppl are constantly leaving, match being cancelled and you get same heroes over and over.
Can we play what we want, please?
FFA’s the only reason I play this game anymore, and I haven’t been able to play the way I want for 2-going-on-3 weeks. I’m considering just not coming back next week.
Three weeks is a long time for all of us to go without the modes we like the best. The OW team’s decision to triple down on these modes baffles me.
Now imagine how people who play other games modes feel when they get to wait a full 2 weeks before their favorite mode even cycles through the daily rotation once. Then once in a blue moon you get a full week of it, only to then be cut short by an event and instantly replaced after one day.
Out of curiosity…do you really imagine yourself playing Total Mayhem and Low Gravity all day every day? That sounds like a torture to me lol.
I don’t mind total mayhem. Low gravity suuuuucks though.
Yep. I was just about to say the same thing
Mayhem, yes.
Low Gravity, no.
Clearly, we have different definitions of fun.
But right now, I’d accept Mayhem, No Limits, Team Deathmatch–any Arcade mode where I can at least decide which character I get to play.
This “event” doesn’t even grant us that much, most of the time.
There’s an anniversary event going on where they have to recycle the past gamemodes. If only we can keep said past gamemodes in custom games for workshop purposes.
I mean I’d be down to have a solo PvE mission using the enemies.
Why dont run Custom games?
Workshop Gauntlet and Mirrored DM have nothing to do with the event. They take up two Arcade slots for 3rd week in a row.
Both those modes have many leavers and match drags forever with 3-6 ppl or gets cancelled at the very end resulting in a massive waste of time.
Custom games don’t give lootboxes and rarely have the same satisfaction of real games for a lot of reasons. Most of them, you’re lucky if you get a full roster long enough to play a match. Plus, I like playing games that feel legitimized by the system.
They honestly should just make all arcade modes available at the same time
You would think, given the abundance of threads like these (for other arcade modes as well), that they would simply add more slots to the arcade…
because people make FFA with 5 heroes max
Jeff kaplan would like to know your location
Don’t your forget it.
I have made this remark on several related threads because I am naively optimistic that developers or someone, anyone, reads them and actually takes feedback. (Yes. I already know.)
The reason arcade has been so unbearable this Anniversary event is because they chose to take up two arcade slots with Hero Gauntlet and Mirrored Deathmatch. The two game modes can be fun for some, but honestly they are just about identical with only one real difference between the two.
These are the game modes they chose to showcase what you can do with Workshop. In my opinion, they shouldn’t have made these two game modes static throughout the entire freaking event. They should have alternated them for OTHER game modes that showcase the Workshop potential each week.
Also in my opinion: Just make FFA a static game mode, damn it!!!
FFA competitive when?
This is what makes me laugh, as I thought this type of thing was already a thing you could do via customs… but I guess you couldn’t, huh? These are ultra basic match modifier settings in a bunch of other games.
“Hey, we got this new custom thing you can use to make creative or quirky matches coming out at the same time as the event. We’ll present two modes made using this as a demonstration of what can be done!”
Presents two slightly different FFA modes that are basic and hardly demonstrative of anything special…
“See, it’s great, huh? And, they will be here not for a day or two, not even a week… but for the FULL duration of the event, so it ruins actual good modes having them slots!”
They could’ve put something goofy and/or something fun like a race mode or something… but they chose that garbage.
