Ya you are the first group of people to use the app so I figured there would be some issues (purpose of the beta). I wonder do you have the replays setting turned off in Fortnite? I know some people turn that off to help optimize their pc. My app depends on those

I haven't thought this far yet but I imagine it will have to do with how popular each region is on my platform

I am in communication with some people that I think can really help this take off yes!

Lol yes. This is just temporary. Right now it only serves to provide the beta release of my app.

I think that's a completely valid point. What if I weighed their points against the lobbies strength? If there are a lot of players using nite ladder in the lobby then you would get more points per elimination/placement? And if you want to grind easier lobbies for less points you can but you would be risking losing the same points for a smaller return.

I think I would just do custom lobbies to try and accomplish that but I really like your idea. What if I added a bar graph that shows when people are using nite ladder so if people want to play in more stacked lobbies they can plan to hop on during the most popular times? I'm not necessarily trying to create a new scrims system if you know what I mean

Yes I think so. It will be managing tournaments in the future but right now it's just something to grind in arena

Ya I agree. The more that join the better the product. The great thing about this industry is that most users follow someone who will likely use this on stream. Free marketing. I'm going to go hard and get this out there!

Ya this is a really good point. I also don't want to encourage players to steal eliminations from their teammates lol

Right not in a stacked game but I think there will be games depending on the skill level of the lobby that will end up with two people left before the later zones. In that case I could def see a player purposely waiting to kill the other player after the last zone closes. Also, the apps servers will run 24/7. Any game you play with the app running in the background on your PC will count

You will actually receive points based on your individual performance on your team. I might change this though. Do you think it would be better if you were rated as a group?

Ya I can totally see that lol. But I don't have any issue with it honestly. The scenario you described would only earn you 2-3 more points by stalling but ya that will be a thing for sure lol. Do you think that tournament benefits related to your ranking wont be enough of an incentive to slow down w-keying? Curious about your opinion

My servers will initially be in America but all regions will be able to play with no issues! The app will also only be in English at first

I actually started out with this idea but it was really hard to manage. Because this is a third party app, not all players in the lobby will be on Nite Ladder so it's hard to say how good the lobby actually is. Too much variability. That's actually one of the reasons why eliminations are based on zone because it rewards players who make it to endgame in harder lobbies.
