Is it just me or is it nearly inpossible to get in an Xbox only lobby? If the player base is really that small, it would help to have more weekends of douple gold/rep. The advantage a decent pc player has over an xbox player is so frustrating. Pretty much the only time i was able to get in an xbox only lobby was during double arena rep.
Arena Xbox only lobbies
@hutch-nukem mate its almost impossible for me to get into a all players server. the game mode is dead, they really need to take one of them down so players can only play one mode. currently we got galleons and sloops, they need to make them transition either monthly or weekly or maybe even every second day
Maybe because PC arena wait times are out of this world, maybe you are being placed with us, because we are struggling so much to find members to even start a match. It is a soft option afterall.
I just stopped playing the mode all together. Having to wait 2x a match length to end up with half a crew or solo at the start... there is no way for me to enjoy this mode as it stands. I have even been AFK kicked from the lobby, because I just started watching YouTube videos while sitting in front of the main area to see people log in and out and didn't click back often enough to avoid the kick.
I am not sure if it is based on the matchmaking system or the opt out option or all those people I see entering the lobby and almost instantly leaving. Arena mode is extremely flawed at the moment and I cannot even judge the actual gameplay properly.
It is supposed to be for those that dont have tons of time, yet as it stands now I get more done in 1h in Adventure, since I don't even enter a match in Arena in that time.
@hutch-nukem
I mean, you asked for the opt out and you got it. This is one of the consequences. There are also other things causing long matchmaking, but opt out is most likely a factor.Xbox only galleon arena lobbies don't exist anymore. They're probably as rare as the ghost meg. Galleon Arena in general is pretty dead, although the new commendations are bringing some players back. Still long wait times though.
Sloop Arena on the other hand gets games starting pretty quickly, at least during peak hours. And you can sometimes find an Xbox only lobby.
Putting out Sloop and Galleon Arena at the same time was a horrible idea and that's was obvious to anyone who was playing Arena before Sloops were introduced. Let's take a dead mode with a small player base and split it between two modes, that'll fix it! They should alternate Sloop and Galleon Arena trading off every week. Battlefield V does this with less popular or special event game modes and it works very well.
