Why remove 6vs6 servers?


(doxjq) #21

Today is literally the first day I’ve mained Overwatch over Dirty Bomb. I don’t even like Overwatch. All morning I tried to get a 6v6 game of Dirty Bomb, but after 2 hours there was still only 7v7 and 8v8 servers running, so I gave up. Aus player base is just too small to pull this kinda crap.

I just dunno any more.

right with ya, not the biggest fan of Overwatch to many abilities that take aim and skill away as a factor. but with the new sniper coming out and the changes to limit one hero pick per team I might find myself leaving this game in the dust for overwatch.

I’m livid right now I’ve put too much time and money in this game for them to suddenly make all these stupid changes to the game.

Wasn’t something that anyone asked for either.

Reminds me of the Proxy buff and the removal of jump sniping haha. They’re making some really silly decisions lately. It’s so disheartening when the game is so great.

Min server = 6v6
Not min server = 7v7, 8,8

Okay, for those who are complaining about don’t have 6v6 and with 10+ level, I guess you are one of the reasons of why the balance is a very big concern here. Go to fking min server and stop crying about it ( stop crying about balance if you don’t even want to balance the game at first point, go to fking min server )

finally did it, after all these random patches, people turning invisible, not being able to plant objectives, shitty servers and a ton of other game breaking bugs http://i.imgur.com/EmpHV94.png

Wait what. Your wording confuses me. Are you saying those of us who complain about only being able to play 6v6 in min10 servers should just stop crying and play in a min10 server even though we don’t have any min10 6v6 servers active in our region? Tbh I’m not keen on waiting hours for a full game.

it’s ok @Dox he’s just uninformed and baiting an argument


(Szakalot) #29

im pretty sure what he meant : being above lvl 10 and going to stomp lvl 1-10 players is lame and makes games harder to balance ( cause one good player cna be worth 4 1-10lvl players)

Bye! You were never playing serious anyway! :trollface:

this might be an issue but that has more to do with no reliable match-making system.

this change is a double edge sword because the the 7v7 and 8v8 maps are not without their own faults. They are a fuster cluck and boils down to which team can spam the most splash damage and explosives, It’s like fishing with a hand grenade. It’s not focused and strategic and more than likely appeals to the easy gratification gamer who get a five kill streak with an air strike.

“skill is not present” in these team sizes and I personally don’t find them engaging or fun. If anyone enjoys these maps more power to ya but when matchmaking comes out they should be put in the server browser like the cancer they are. The new matchmaking should be 6v6 only as to not separate the player pool into different queues so matchmaking can be fast and easy.

I love not being able to play my preferred settings for 15 minutes at times because all the 6v6 servers are full. Really helps. Really. It’s just like trying to queue ranked at anything higher than silver.

Like can SD take a hint? Look at all the other games that are class/merc based. They all have a small amount of players on each team, most of the time 5.

Overwatch = 6 players per team
League of Legends = 5 players per team
Dota = 5 players per team
Battleborn = 5 players per team
TF 2 = 6 or 4 players per team (in competitive)

It’s even in games that don’t have class/merc based systems:

CS:GO = 5 players per team
COD Series = 6 and less players per team
Halo Series = 6 and less players per team.

Dirty bomb = 7 and 8 players per team. Wait…What the fuck?! What is this shit?!

Take a hint.


(nokiII) #34

Overwatch has 6 per team and DB has 5 in an competitive environment.

If you can make the excuse for tf2, you can make it for db aswell.


(LifeupOmega) #35

Well, 9v9 if we somehow count Highlander as competitive :wink:

But every pub is 12v12 min by standard.

Also, W:ET is 6v6 competitive iirc.


(Herr_Hanz) #36

and im just sitting here thinking of going to start maining 8v8’s because i love the amount of people i can kill. also because the mk46 actually works against scrubs. mostly its 4 level 10+ and 4 around level 7/8 per team, so its not that bad of a stomp. the teams though. they are so frustratingly stupid. its either go min 10/20 6v6 for good teammates, or go 8v8 and have fun and get kills and teammates that are stupid as foque.

i find it stupid that they moved min level 10/20 from 7v7 to 6v6.

also competitive CoD is 4v4, Squads in Battlefield are 4 people, and CoD has the ground war game mode that is 8v8.

CS:GO has 10v10 deathmatch and casual, 5v5 demolition and comp.

8 min10 servers for each mode in EU.
Either the servers are full all the time or not enough populated.
min20 servers still with ff off.
7vs7+ servers are bullcrap.

Thanks Splash Damage/Nexon.
I’m losing interest to play Dirty Bomb. Good Job.

It’s sad, but I’m starting to feel this way now as well. I literally developed cancer playing in 8v8 servers just now, because the 7v7 servers were full and well, there is no 6v6. For some reason the Australian player base has died down from like 25 servers to 5 odd during the day. The game for us is in the worst state its ever been in. 4 servers this afternoon. Starting a min10 6v6 server is not an option.
