Why does nobody play the battle royale mode?

[Wildly Mild]

It's literally just as well made as the default game, and by that i mean it's a buggy mess, but it took me an hour and a half to find a match, which only consists of around a dozen people. Seriously?

[Rose]

It's kinda a cool idea with the infected but way too buggy

[Wildly Mild]

Well people play dayz, why not the battle royale

[Enforcer]

They don't play BR because they can't be a duck and backstab a friendly player. They all KoS there and they hate to be on the receiving end.

[Ylion]

because br is targeted at a completely different audience than a zombie survival.
it´s litterally a different playerbase.
just like nobody plays the ark br.
they are not for the core audience, they are there to boost sales.
but the people that could be interested rather play real, dedicated br games

Lack of interest?

[SmashT]

Looks like the project has been killed now anyway.

The Open Alpha of Survivor GameZ has ended, thank you so much for jumping in. We have collected a lot of useful data, and we are incredibly grateful for your help.

Right now, we don’t plan to turn Survivor GameZ into a standalone game or DLC for DayZ, but we plan to use the data from the Open Alpha for our future projects.

Later today (18:00 CET), the game mode will become unavailable, and the servers turned off. While it won’t be possible to play the mode, you might still see it in your Steam library.

See you in Chernarus.

Miss this as an event tho, was fun to watch the last one. Hope it becomes some sort of mod, we were going to try a few rounds untill we saw it was only the teams server that had it. Wishing them well on other projects.

Lack of trust was probably the biggest hurdle to overcome.
Ease of use was probably the second.

After the DayZ fiasco, BI will have to release games under a sister company or something. No one in main stream gaming will ever take them seriously again.

BIS was never a mainstream company to begin with. I wish they would have stayed in their niche. They have enough contracts, making a game with their engine is more or less a side job.
I am still surprised companies like EA are still around after all the crap they feed their playerbase.....it seems latter will buy any game from them no matter what.

WtF how do you fail at this? It's BR how do you fail with professional programmers what's been done for years in basically the same engine? Constant disappointments with BI now the one thing I thought might keep me interested in DayZ

Personally, I'm not very interested at the moment, I enjoy dayz and that's what I want to play, when I have time. Though there's some incredibly annoying glitches, especially with base building and cars.
I'm not against it, I just have very little interest. There's other games with.
BR done better and I'd play those over this version were I looking for a BR experience

He is a community moderator. He has the powah.

@BRmode: Kinda sad that it was stomped. I didn't play it but mainly because of the alpha state and i'm not willing to stand the bugs.

[Derleth]

I felt zero hype for SG and did not try the alpha as much as once, and now that it is gone I don't regret it. Battle Royale may have spawned from BI games but the genre has moved on and is kinda stale and uninteresting anyway.

Of course it would have been good for BI if Survivor Games took off, but if they were really interested in that they should have waited a while longer - until Enfusion is more developed. It would need more variety of maps in different terrains, and seeing as they already have Vigor on Xbox it feels more likely they'd simply port that to PS4 and PC before giving Survivor Games another go. Either that or hold off until Arma 4 is a thing.

The only other game that does BR better was Arma 3 and DayZ with BR was suppossed to be that but better, everything else is crap and fake and boring and uninteresting. I try some DayZ each patch and it's either same easy pointless gameplay or the server crashes within 20 minutes. With BR at least there's an objective, although the way the alpha was was kind of crummy should be over a wider area, random locations. But what are these people doing at this company are the getting out of the game making business or what sure seems that way...
