So, some of you know me, some of you don't. As it turns out, I moderate the official warrobots site(no,not this one). Anyway, I am delighted to share some awesome news I got. So, the recent reactions about queues have set the ball rolling for more experiments to strike the fine balance between finding enough players to all the game modes being utilized and most important of all, give players the control back. So, for the first leg of it, there'll be some changes to queues. So, For this weekend (Friday+Saturday+Sunday) matchmaking queues will be reshuffled. BR will receive a separate queue while other modes will get piled into the second one. Thoughts? P.S.= Update 3.7 is out with the new bots (Pursuer, Hellburner, Mercury), New Weps (Ion, Thermite) and balance changes (Shocktrain, Scourge, Redeemer) and woohoo!! Battle Rewards! (FINALLY!) is out for Android NOW! P.P.S= If you got some problems like dissappered resources, exploded UI, leave your platform and ID below. Can ask the team to fix it for you.

Thank you for the post.
There was never an issue before with queues. So if the system can't handle the additional spearate queues, so pix needed to make 1 big one, why intro them to begin with?

That won't help much at all. This is PIX saying, lets force everyone to play KOH since no one likes it. Based on what I've seen in the forums, it's 50/50 that we like Dom or BR and while TDM gets some love, KOTH is loathed by most. Why not put TDM and KOTH in one queue and Dom and BR in another. Better yet, get rid if TDM and KOTH and have two queues, one for Dom and one for BR.

What if we had all four modes getting their seperate queues for 3 consecutive days each one after the other? If you like BR a lot, play during the 3 BR days, if you still want BR, you'll have to do the random till it comes again. Another way we could go about is increased rewards for playing certain modes on certain days/time slots. Thoughts?

Apart from messing on the TS I have never played KOTH, tried a few times but cancelled out of the wait around the 5 minute mark (iOS champs). So don’t know if I like it or not.
However I really don’t like TDM. It’s a forced tedious camper fest. I play it cause I have to, I don’t enjoy it, its just not for me. I think it’s also having a knock on effect brining excessive camperism to other modes as people are running stuff to use in TDM.
If the above happens I will just play whatever shuffling que games are needed to avoid TDM. It appears to me that the foray into differing game modes was a moderate success. BR is good. I like it, but some modes are not popular, I think they should just cut losses and stick with the popular modes and scrap the rest. By all means try new ones down the road, but if its clear that people don’t like them, just drop them. Forcing people to play modes that they don’t want is in my opinion one of the quickest ways to drive people from the game.

No one is going to play Random if BR is standalone. I don't like BR much, but it's better to play that than risk the incredibly high chance of getting TDM.

Doubtful, unless it's for a mode most don't like (TDM / KoTH).

If pix don’t want to mix tdm/koth as most of player base won’t play it then combine Br-koth & dom-tdm ? Just a idea & I know most of players might disagree but with all that hate for tdm it might be opposite. I thought it as mostly dom and tdm contains campers.

I'd try the timeshare approach but muscle memory hitting the same button for a few days in row will end up causing a bunch of aborted matched when players realize they've selected the wrong button after the rotation changes. I just see a lot of frustration here. As for the incentive, for me, it would have to be one heck of an incentive to entice me to play a mode I don't like. EDIT: I'll add that I played a lot of KOTH on the test server so it's not that I just don't understand how it works.

Make it that we pick those modes we don't like to play and all enter 1 main queue. When a game is made, it is automatically checked, if everyone likes it, and those who don't will automatically get matched again, till they get something they like. Not even a need for separate queues. It can be done so that it doesn't divide anything, and even waiting times will decrease for all modes, as some pilots waiting for KoTH mode might like to play other modes and vice versa.
War Robots (or Walking War Robots) felt like a very innovative game when I found it, yet now pix is struggling with understanding simple logic and programming concepts,that NEED to get applied to a game as it grows. That stupid excuse that Pix has for not letting me play the game I used to, that the playerbase gets divided, it shows just pure immaturity and laziness.
Muy thoughts of this idea, putting KoTH together with any other mode - not a smart decision. First, it feels like hiding from the work again, as it can be made another way, and second, KoTH is played too differently from other modes in my league and need a separate hangar. I'll choose whatever option that doesn't have KoTH, not because I don't like it, but because it's different. At least BR is the seperate line, not TDM, so thanks for that at least.

why? , if you are still listening. i'll be quick as to not waste your time.
TDM should be team death match, right!
In tdm there should be beacons so that you can spawn at your captured beacon just like beacon rush. But no 'beacon' bar, just 'Number of kill' bar like in TDM. Beacon can be used only to spawn at specific location (like enemy territory).
Right now, if you go brawling in tdm, it will be a complete suicide. that's why everyone starts to camp because no one can come to home spawn area.
OBJECTIVE of TDM - forget about the beacon, just kill as many as possible. so what's the harm if you let the beacon only for spawning purpose. please think about it.
