I'm certain the Vampire Survivors game mode is going to be related to Plunderstorm. Remove other players and replace the abilities with auto-cast abilities and you've got a bullet heaven. And I think it would be much more enjoyable than a battle royale.

A friend pointed out that they could probably also implement a MOBA using this new technology which I think would be very ironic. Hopefully we see more experimentation with game modes now that they've got the technology working well enough. Hopefully they also figure out matchmaking if it's going to be PvP so that I don't have to play with 200ms.

I think they are focused on multiplayer modes/games.

I wish it did not immediately go to spectate. It is a waste of time and an additional loading screen

[infinitemeridian]

Well I hope timerunning is interesting at least.

Lvl 5 Renown effectively gives you 75 Wyrm Crests. Which I guess is not bad for casual players

Are you basing that on something? We know for a fact that they've been working on a Vampire Survivors game mode so that's not really the part that's up for debate.

I think I saw someone today with the full plunderlord set, which would mean renown 38. I dont know if that's even possible but jesus. No wonder then Blizzard says 6 weeks is enough to farm everything, if players keep no-lifing the game.

[Throren]

currently the most effective way to farm the rep is drop in, do the captain's order for the 250 plunder, collect a couple piles of loot then let yourself die on purpose and re-queue

that way you're making 250-400 rep every 2-3 min instead of only 450-600 rep every 10-15 min

Which says a lot about the event that the most effective way to grind it is to actively not participate and let yourself die in the first 30 seconds or so

I enjoy the game and got to level 7 in a day so I don't find the need to just bore myself playing "optimally" for rep. If you don't like it and just want the rewards, then sure.

Blizz has buffed plunder from all sources, as expected I guess.

I just woke up but from what i read it's not really noticeable much when it comes to sticking to pve part of this.

It's something, but still too little because from what i gathered via forums feedback, you get like 9 - 15, was 6-10.

They need to either cut renown lvls eventually or add a lot more plunders for doing the quest, put the high number on it - people that want cosmetics quick do the quest then die, leaving mostly pvpers in the battlefield to have fun fighting each other.

Sorry but the game mode shouldnt promote degenerate behaviour like killing yourself on purpose.

You easily get like 1000-1500 per round now. You are pretty much guaranteed a full level from just the first game of the day.

False.

I just did my daily, made it to #13, killed a player here and there (maybe like 3 kills? 4?), did the bonus objective and ended up with around ~1500.

Still not enough. By far.

Dunno what you want me to tell you.

They created this "degenerate behaviour" because of how they designed the mode.

They tried to appeal to everyone with it and that what people do when they want to be done with this as quick as possible.

Give players the tools and they will go with it however they want if they don't like something, but i forgot, you're often the biggest blizz apologist that starts blaming community than creators themselves.

Yeah, and they should get away from "Farm Chests and kill yourself" and go more towards "You need to involve yourself in the BR Mode to get plunder by actively skirmishing".
You suggest the opposite.

I am fine with the daily, as a consolation prize, essentially, but it is inherently PVP. The bulk of it should come from PVP.

It is absolutely the communities fault for being obsessed with needing to have everything and needing to do everything when they don't. Just wait. The cosmetics will probably get added to the store or the trading post.

What a weird take. People shouldn't need to spend limited traders tender or real money for cosmetics from a free to play battlepass from the new fun game mode lol. Besides that, you don't really have to do the pvp part in order to easily reach 40 now that they buffed the plunder.

Again, your are literally telling people to not play the new game just because you don't like it that people dislike to play the pvp part? Who are you to tell people how to enjoy things lol.

It's pvevp BR mode, and you have 10-20 old longtime players that played only pve that go into that mode to unlock cosmetics because they like it or they're just collectors, so of course they will try to find a way to avoid pvp, im lvl rank 13 atm and killed bunch of people, but the actual battles that usually end up with fire swirling are the least fun part for me personally.

I have like 400h in SoT and its pvevp game, but people that dont like pve try to minimize the amount of pvp if any and go "degenerate mode"(just for the quote) when they just go around and do their pve content to unlock cosmetics and such.

If we talk involvement then i would suggest blizzard to add more quests per match for these kind of players, so they stay longer.
