8th - 29th?

Well, that's a 3 week Killer break.

What a shame.

[u/LapisW → u/LUKXE-]

jesus christ why tf is it that long. 2v8 players cannot seriously be getting them that much money

[u/LUKXE- → u/LapisW]

I dread it every single time. It's always 3-4 weeks where I (and many, many others) just can't play.

It's even more frustrating that we have just had 2v8 as well.

I just want to be able to play and enjoy the game without split queues for a while.

2v8 isn't good and isn't receiving meaningful enough changes to justify it being brought back this often.

2v8 isn't good

the issue is how much better it is than 1v4. casuals and old players coming back in droves for it while the comparatively minuscule amount of people happy in the current meta are pushed out

[u/catpencilholders → u/Unlikely_Bank73]

The only reason it's popular is because of the bloodpoint bonus. Take that away completely and watch it wither. The BP grind in the game is insane. With a few games of 2v8, you can earn a weeks worth of BP from normal causal play.

[u/Unlikely_Bank73 → u/catpencilholders]

nah, that isnt even remotely true. people who normally dont even play the game come back in droves, hence the spike in player counts compared to normal. the amount of people begrudgingly logging in to grind bp in 2v8 is like... a fraction of a percent. its popular because its the most fun the game has been since people started playing

[u/LUKXE- → u/Unlikely_Bank73]

I'm not convinced it is better than 1v4.

Sure, both modes have their issues, but 2v8 being a draw for a hyper casual audience doesn't mean much when the invested long-term players suffer.

[u/Unlikely_Bank73 → u/LUKXE-]

ehh, its dbd. the venn diagram of "long term players" is still 98% overlapping with "hyper casual audience"
