Hello Robocrafters!
Last week we ran a poll regarding reducing the max party size in response to players being concerned with 5 man teams being pitted against smaller team sizes. There were several plans we had in mind but ultimately we had an overwhelming feedback to keep max party size to 5.
However, something else came from this poll while reading comments...
So we’re going to run a short experiment Over the easter weekend between the 18th and 22nd of April. All game modes will have their team size increased from 5 to 8!
8 v 8!
Starting from the 18th of April, all game modes in Robocraft will be 8 v 8 until the 22nd of April.
It is important to note some of the cons of bigger team sizes; we believe it may lead to longer queue times, looser matchmaking and perhaps more AI in games. Of course, we’re going to be keeping a very close eye on feedback from players during this period and will decide whether or not we should make the increase to team size permanent.
We’ll be sharing some more exciting news very soon... Let us know what you think of this experiment and we'll see you on the battlefield on the 18th of April 2019!
