Everyone QUIT?

legit never seen normal arena/LFG this dead even in like a mid expansion ultra dead season, cant even find anyone in LFG for games AS A HEALER? normally I have 20+ people to pick from now no one even signing up + when i look at LFG its 80% less groups than in a normal season + look at ladder inflation completetly dead compared to previous seasons, normally right now ppl in 2v2 frontpage would all be 2500+ but its 2.2k :smiley: ??

Is this because everyone QUIT normal arena for SOLO SUFFLE? or what ?? been like this all of dragonflight! how can everyone quit for suffle when u wait in Q 3-6 hours ??

It’s Christmas time, lots of people are traveling. Where I live we celebrate Christmas on the 24th, while places like the UK celebrates it on the 25th, and it’s typical for people to travel and meet their families during this time. And then New Year’s Eve will arrive soon enough.

Point is, not everyone plays the game during this time, even if they count themselves as active gamers.

I think everyone tried shuffle, queued for 40 minutes then got W keyed by morons and quit the whole game - it’s what I’m close to doing

Would be funny if there’s a hidden exclusion function when you report somebody so that you can’t enter the same arena as that person again.
Just speaking hypothetically ofc. (In other words, if they reported you so you couldn’t end up in their shuffles again. :laughing:)

W for Wictory

god damn i hate it when i prehot them and they stand behind pillar waiting it all to drop cos theyre noobs who wait for dampening to really sink in till they start engage something random

it make me feel like “captain america” from generation kill doing his rambo yelling “engage engage!!” and next day i get a blizzard warning of language behavior something pop up

5mins of standing behind pillar opposite sides to die in 5seconds without press single button when the fight begins

like why the pff u ppl do this its so annoying, ppl do it even versus team compositions for which it make no sense strat wise

Game has always been dead during this time of the year. But yeah , having DH’s and Assa rogue every game doesn’t help much either :stuck_out_tongue:

2 things here.

  • we are 2 days away from christmas, its mental to think most people will be online right now.
  • yes, automated queue systems have proven time and time again they will kill the lfg function.

1 day where I live. Just to be clear, I don’t mean just my house, I mean the country I live in. We celebrate Christmas on the 24th.

Someone I used to know from the UK told me that the difference between here where I live, and there, is that we celebrate the “coming of Christ” while they celebrate that “Christ has arrived” in the UK.
:laughing:

ah Yes i forget some countries do haha my Ex also celebrated 24th she was Polish haha.

As a healer main. Survived the whole SL extension can’t last more than one month in DF, already cancelled the sub and uninstalling asap when it ends. This is not a game anymore it has just become suffering to play it.

I think SoloQ promises killed the little flame I still had for this game.

Plus ofc it’s Christmas times best time to take time for things that matters the most.

GL HF to those who stay

It balances each other out

Some are travelling but others have holiday to play the game.
Most people I know spend their christmas eve with family and also first or second day but they always play during the day time and certainly playing on 23rd or 22nd of december.

So I really wouldn’t say it is all christmas.

e.g. I don’t even queue up for solo fiesta because I cba waiting 40mins for a pop to get smashed down by zugzug fury/dh/dk combos.
So there might definitely something that arena feels dead, because BGs have instant pop all day, so if nobody was playing because of christmas, BGs and dungeons would also be dead, no?

Same boat.
Survived shadowlands with some breaks, but just 1 month into DF and I’ve had enough
 I’ll most likely be back when I get bored but yeah

You’re thinking a bit too much in absolutes. Why should it affect everything equally? It’s just that this time of the year is typically less active amongst players, for these types of reasons. There’ll always be individuals who doesn’t, while others who does, but on a macro scale then this is what’s known as a “high-travel season” and it reaches its peak during Christmas.

it do feel like most heals are alrdy bummed from healing sl s3-4

and now when df is the same or worse and soloq being what it is people are bit unattracted by this i think :thinking:

i think it has been rough year and we dont need more dampen or ms effects or heal nerfs on patch notes

It feels worse than sl with the dampening changes ye


SoloQ is obviously just a no go as a healer even if one match capped the weekly conquest lol

i just treat it as a easy something to spam pvp wise :smiley: but its mostly just no use like this yea and will make u tilt really fast if try take it any serious or the mmr matchmakings

dragon burst heal could use tuneing but rest healers they need stop nerfing
