@VivaLaDoctor One thing I like about ranked is that at least there is no free kits running around. Esp if the ante gets higher as you go up. Meaning killing others will be very lucrative. Vs regular maps that ppl just freekit & do contracts
@Ziegler_Dev We are with you 100% of the way! ππ» just wanted to relay the feedback that once again the huge solo community of the game would at least like solo queue for ranked mode so we have at least one game activity open to us in the game, hope to see it soon βΊοΈ
@Ziegler_Dev Hopefully we also get solo queue for ranked as well as Cryo in the future as well. Please donβt forget the huge solo community that love and support the game!
Weβve heard your feedback that having Ranked and Cryo Archive overlap can make it difficult to decide where to spend your time and hard-earned loot. Based on that, weβre updating their schedules so each has a clear, focused window.
We're going to open Cryo Archive this week on Thursday, March 26 at 10AM PT and close it on Sunday, March 29 at 10AM PT. The next window for Ranked will start on Sunday, March 29th at 10AM PT and will run for four days - until Thursday, April 2nd at 10AM PT.
Here's a quick look at the weekly schedule going forward, so you can mark your calendars:
π Ranked: Sunday 10 AM PT β‘οΈ Thursday 10 AM PT
π Cryo Archive: Thursday 10 AM PT β‘οΈ Sunday 10 AM PT
We know that no schedule is perfect, but we're here to listen and learn! As we see how this lands, we'll continue to keep your feedback in mind as we make any future adjustments.
@asalisbury Thank you Andy we love the change! Also Andy Ziegler said they are looking into solo for cryo, has their been any discussions in the team about opening solo queue for ranked as well? If not please advocate for us, thank you!
@MarathonDevTeam@Geezaws2 Please also look into adding solo queue to ranked mode! There is a huge solo community in the game and we would love to at least be able to do ranked mode endgame activity. Thank you.
@VivaLaDoctor The 1 downside is yes it will split queue, but thatβs a small price to pay to get as many players into the game. There is a huge solo & even duo community get them all in. The other option is just keep it as squads cause of fear of queue time but we see it does noting for the #s
@VivaLaDoctor Iβm on the mindset that look they canβt just make new content out of thin air to get more players into the game, so whatβs the next best thing? Have different options for different communities, so solo & duo queue for all modes ranked & Cryo. This way diff ppl will buy the game.
@MarathonDevTeam@VivaLaDoctor Speaking of matchmaking, please add solo queue to ranked mode! You have a huge solo community & at least with solo ranked we will get one endgame activity to do. ATM we have no endgame activity for the solo community.
@PaulTassi Paul we need u, can you write an article on why solo queue needs to be in ranked mode as well for the overall health of the game & bring in fresh blood as the solo crowd is big in the extraction genre. Ur articles are always divisive so Iβm sure more eyes will be on the matterπ€
@DestinLegarie While I love it 1 of the biggest shock is that now I realize there is absolutely NO endgame content for solo players at all. At first it was just cryo & their reasoning was the puzzle was meant for trios so fine, but now Iβm shocked not even ranked has solo which is bewildering.
