Slaughter... What do you think?

[DividedSky]

So what does everyone think? Slaughter has been out a while. I am personally not enjoying it as much as I was enjoying secure. It feels like it is a stupid f-ing zerg fest and there are too many noobs playing now because of roulett. On top of that there are also LONG ques. MUCH MUCH longer than it use to be with secure. Its not skillful... its a zerg... and half my FULL twin adders linkshell has completely stopped pvping because of it. They openly admit its because of slaughter. We were extremely active until slaughter came out. Is everyone else having the same experience with slaughter? Its a good idea but they need to remove the zerg aspect... I'm really not enjoying it the more and more i play it.

Oh and its all but killed secure matches. I try to que for secure only and its like 45mins+ if i'm solo... 20 mins with a full group b/c we get those lucky 8v8v8 matches. I think this could be solved with an open que system where we could see who is in que. There have been several posts about a new que system but SE hasn't really picked up on any of them yet. Ugh sorry i'm just mad right now... this is killing pvp... the same thing is happening now that happened to wolves den.

Maybe if they changes it to 8v8v8 or 48 man only in slaughter? remove the 72 man matches? That would be less zergy? I dunno something better change.. and FAST.

If slaughter made more use of the map, I'd like it more. Like have the extra adds spawn 3 times during the game instead of 1 time.

You've summed up my thoughts on it.

It's poop, tbh. 8v8v8 is much more fun than the 72-man counterpart but Slaughter in general puts too much emphasis on bringing all three teams together in one location. A, B, and C no longer really have a role or an important job to do.

Sure it's fun, but it has about as much depth as a puddle.

Secure was better.

Slaughter requires less strategy, less map space, less mechanics and its laggy. The most interesting thing to me is how many players can't follow simple strategy in slaughter mode. Its amazing and sad at the same time.

Also from the way things look, our next pvp game mode will be even less complex. I expect the next game mode to be a 72 man deathmatch that takes place in a small circle.

72-man Wolves' Den. AWWWYEAH

Give me my 48 and 72 man secure matches back. Slaughter is one giant hump fest I no longer want a part of. At least secure was strategic; this is just shit flinging until you ultimately have enough kills to spam cometeor.
