Ranked Crystalline Conflict Active When?

When are people Plat and above actually playing Ranked? After finally crawling out of Gold being paired with mostly bronzes and no ranks, I looked forward to better matches. however, I find that I cannot get a match after I get home from work in the late afternoon. It's 5:20pm EST and I have been in queue for over 70 min, which means the battlefield will rotate soon and get kicked out of queue completely. At what godawful hour is this busy so I can actually play?

Rank mode is pretty much dead. During reward just different number frame for portraits. Which is a shame since 6.0pvp was quite fun with mostly issued was netcode and balance with crown control. At the moment you best bet is right now is play casual mode to hone you skill and pray dev team do better job with next tiers reward or 7.0.

I already have Frames through Diamond, I mostly just want to be able to play with and against folks who aren't eating paste. if my options are "stop until next season" or "play with the braindead", I'll just stop.

There's no rank decay so people just make their way back to crystal in a new season and stop queuing after that.

there would still need to be the Platinum, Diamond, and even Golds that would still be playing. it just seems like it's completely dead until at least 8pm EST.

Rank mode died when they introduce rank decay. Most predict after platinum you pretty much hitting the wall. Ended up becoming niche overtime. Haven’t touched the content since then so idk if there’s any improvement encouraging ppl to come back with the new map.

Update: can confirm lower and upper diamond/crystal is pretty active with some plat, was at D5 after a month break now back to D2

It probably vary depending on other DC, but here on Primal the queue for Crystal ranked usually start at around 10-11PM EST to 5-6AM.

They introduced de-ranking, which is fine. Rank decay is where if you don't play your rank will "decay" and lower. Games that have it usually have the decay set to once a week. It keeps people from just reaching the rating they want and just sitting on it by not playing anymore.

People mostly play during the very early and very late season. Outside of that it's very quiet and if you somehow manage to get a game, be prepared to see the same 9-12 people for the next hour or two.
