Games really don't fill easily anymore in general unless it's like 12-4 PM EST, and then it still takes like 20 minutes.

I think a natural step for RoR players is to make lots of MD tournaments, or for RoR players to band together somehow for RT games.

Your solution is to get your boot rate down. Most players in the community avoid those with extremely high boot rates, so you'll likely see a dramatic improvement if you get it below 10%.

Which brings the point again to the Paradox; you need to play games to lower your bootrate, but you need to lower your bootrate to play games. A problem still unresolved, if even acknowledged to begin with.

You need to lower your bootrate to play quality games with people who avoid booters. There's always auto games, quickmatch games, ladder games, and dozens of open games that will accept people with any boot rate. And you can make your own games. It's only a problem if none of those things existed.

Bring back WGL!

"Lack of moderation of the community"


Maybe more actions from moderators would make the game more enjoyable...


This is an example of how toxic this community can be:

Really fizzer? I made generic diplos in rt in the summer of 2017 and it filled it pretty quickly. It's not a summer thing, it's the decline of creativity and usage.

A genuine question in good faith here: does WarZone advertise? If so where?

It's not a summer problem , cus a lot of the other games are fine in summer ,
the problem is "wazone" is not "warlight" , the game was better in 2012 ,
RIP "warlight" ,

Note : down voting my post doesn't make it wrong , but only prove how childish the one who down voted it .

kek

"Lack of moderation", folks.

Give me a break lol

Misaka=Great Cobra, so I don't think boot rate is always a reason for open games being slow to fill.

Agreed @Wulfhere

Since boot rate has come up, I really think it needs to be reformed. Back in 2012 (when I first joined), I didn't realise boot rate was monitored, so I opted to be booted rather than surrender.

I know it sounds stupid now, but the point is that this has permanently tarnished by boot rate to the point that it's never going to drop below 10%, so I can't join a lot of games.

Wouldn't it make more sense to only count the last, say, 250 games when calculating boot rate? It doesn't seem logical to include stats from years ago that aren't representative anymore.

lol just make an alt

Great question Bane, I've been playing regularly again the past couple months after taking a year off and I have noticed a dramatic decline in games filling. My real times take longer to fill, my multi days take longer, and my tournaments take a long time too. I used to be able to fill a 60 person tournament in 3 hours, now I'm going on over a day and still need 15 people.

424 is easy to overcome imo. But I seem to play a lot more 1v1s than you.

Sometimes my games still fill fast but it's extremely situational (For example, if I am lucky and create a game at a time where many decent players are browsing the multi-player tab, and two of them join my game. At this point filling the game is more likely to finish filling soon), but there is definitely a very noticeable decline if you compare now to a couple of years ago.

I rarely play RT at all. If I have 30+ minutes to play a game of 'something', I choose to play Heroes of the Storm. I only use Warzone as my multiday filler (I have 5-10 minutes to check games, think about moves, etc), but not enough time to sit down for 30+ minutes and play something.

I used to do the RT 3v3 EU's that would pop up from time to time, and I like the RT concept (it is the most pure form), but I just don't have time in my life for that very often. Not to mention my clan mates are all over the world, so it would be hard to arrange those little skirmishes.

I played one QM, and it was a lotto pick small earth. Yuck. I have been told it gets better as you unlock stuff, but how long will that take?

Just play a bunch of RT games on small earth at the same time; when you haven't unlocked the better stuff, your rating is probably low, so there's no worrying about losing rating. Doesn't take too long to get to the better stuff that way. QM gets you fast matchups on RT on decent templates once you've gone through the SE phase
