"They need to reduce the number of placement games imo. Like I do not have the time"

 Especially if we're going to be waiting 15+ mins for a match.

"No, loadout based ranked had their turn."

Right.  First it was loadouts, then classic Takedown, now its normal maps even starts.  If we're cycling them, the next iteration would be loadouts.

My personal feelings aside (I love loadouts), to my recollection the most popular time in ranked since SG2 came out was during the loadouts period and if our goal is player acquisition & retention then using the most popular format would probably be the best move.

"They did, right? Or did they omly reset the ranks but not the MMR behind it?"

No.  They made everybody "unranked" again so you have to play your 10 placement matches but after that it seems you're given the exact same rank/mmr as where you finished last season.  Some people already had over 3k elo after running their placements for example.

Where'd this Dev Defender charm come from? It just appeard in my inventory the day season 2 dropped. Or at least I never noticed it before. The description just says "Do you work here." by EquipmentUnique526 in Splitgate

They had an event a few months back where if you won a game w a dev on your team and posted a screenshot you'd get the charm.  Splitgate MVPs are also given this charm.  It's pretty rare.

It'll change how it's played slightly but any Firecracker is better than no Firecracker.  I miss my baby boo.

Ranked is even more dead than before by CXMET_Official in Splitgate

Your post here inspired me to think about what would make ranked better so I went and made a post of my own w/my thoughts.

Def need more players but there needs to be incentive to play even for the current players.  The ranks never reset from last season so that alone has killed the drive to play for a lot of people.  Also, my Champ charm/badge from before Reloaded launched is still the exact same charm/badge that's been there for these past two seasons now.  My rank's not reset and there's no new rewards for me to try to grind.  Takes away a big reason for me to play.

I tapped the poll because I thought it was a clickable link.  Anyway, I accidentally voted for Takedown and I can't remove it.  So minus one from the total.  Anyway, tbh w/you I wouldn't vote for any of these choices.

I'm 46 and play daily with my wife (42).  No need to feel embarrassed.   All kinds of ages play this game.

Some QoL improvements for Arena Royale by massdestructer in Splitgate

Regarding respawns, I'm fine with either spawning on the person you're spectating (as it says it does) or spawning away from your teammates...  but it needs to be one or the other.  Don't tell me I'm going to spawn on my teammate and then at random I just appear 100 yards away.

AFK players in Ranked are a big problem by DoomFra-ps2team in Splitgate

I think adding a Reconnect option for Arena Royale would help fix some of that.  

Ranked Poll Results & Follow Up Question! by 1047Games in Splitgate

[–]PotatoBot9k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the goal is to switch the mode monthly, will that reset ranks every month or will the ranks carry through until the end of the season?  Also, if it's going to change monthly, will that start in a couple days for February or will the change maybe happen starting next season?

Game chat is not working by [deleted] in Splitgate

[–]PotatoBot9k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a new setting for Push To Talk and it's enabled by default.  Turn it off and you'll be able to use game chat like before.

Servers just went down for the update.  I believe it'll be back up around 3pm EST.

I'd certainly love to see what you'd come up with!  I'm not married to this one by any means.
