why 2-players at arena?

Post by galileijjun »

TFM is fun when played with three or four people… isn’t it?

There's a good number of people who enjoy 2P TfM here and it seems fine to have some variety in arena rules to cater to different player bases.

Yeah TFM is fun at 3/4/5p, but the gurus voted for change so change is what we get! We've had three seasons of 3p, it'll be nice to have something new for this season.

As long as it doesn't stay like this forever (which it probably will).

Maybe because most of the players with high elo prefer 2p games

Competitive format of this game (and almost every other) is 2p. 5p is unplayable, I cant understand anyone who plays with those settings. Only with big map is playable but still not good.

It was close between repeat of this season and 2p format. I think it was a difference of 2 votes. I've never played 2p, but am happy for the new format this season. Also, I think playing 2p will make me a better player. I think I'll still prefer 3p, but 2p seems to be the competitive format.

Honestly that's pretty horrible, there must be some trolls in the guru pools if they think repeat 3p arena on Tharsis again is a good idea. They can't even compete 3p themselves why troll the rest of the community? The guru system needs to be fixed, and it will.

Ill probably stick to 3P / 4p and try some of the newer maps casually. Hopefully they update with expansions eventually.

2p arena on one map is just too little to keep track of and not complex enough. Think i did 4-5 games didnt find it fun.

Used to come home to play nightly. Haven't played in days.
