how do i get started with coven ranked?

[Juerg Pinki]

obviously i need to get through 10 practice games, but it takes ages to fill the lobby in coven ranked practice, so i basically just cant get through that barrier. so, is the mode basically locked for new players?

Ranked is even less populated than Ranked Practice.

All/Any and the rotating gamemodes are very populated. The more "standard" rolelists (Coven Classic, RP, Ranked, Mafia Returns) are not so popular.

Coven-All-Any is the only populated game mode for Coven. Pretty much, unless you desire to wait around for a really long time for the other coven games mode...not sure I never got the other game mode to populate for a game before giving up and moving on.

None of the rotating Modes take "A really long time". -_-

100%. If anything there faster then the "normal modes". VIP end if the VIP ends or the handful of cov, lovers is fast caz if you kill 1 lover the other dies

All any is...well, all any. Its games are random, lol

"Yes we know they are not popular and no we are not going to change them to make em popular" a dlc that splits the playerbase has game modes that split it even more lol

The normal tos splits the playerbase aswell tho....

Yeah well that is base game but you can less split with fewer gamemodes/rotating or just don't make a dlc that splits split the community or have a random gamemode button instead of waiting for that one gamemode like something else

The normal tos was earlier free so there was/is no problem with playercount with grandfatheraccounts to cause splitting for now at least

And there aren't like 50 gamemodes

[Juerg Pinki]

yea, i do think it was a mistake to bring coven as a dlc. i mean sure, it s short term money but splitting the playerbase can become quite a problem for a game that size

Even in the base game there were game modes that were not played often. This would include rapid mode, Rainbow mode, and even custom at certain times. We have debated removing some of the lesser played modes from the Coven DLC as we have with the base game, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Why not? Do it now rather than later. Whats stopping you from taking something out, seeing how many people want it back, put it back, then see the numbers and making the final decision? Or just add the one button that is just random gamemodes then everything would have players. Or change them either little by little or big changes you can always go back or somewhere different.

Caz if you take something from somone and they will complain, even of there not using it or will never use it. It's like a baby. Take a toy there not using and they will cry and want to play with it

Of course there will be people that are gonna be unhappy but that is with every game basically every update there is gonna be a change someone is not happy with but thats the minority. You gotta find that sweet spot that many people are gonna like and you can't have everything.

Seeing as there is now a dedicated Discord server for Coven RP/Ranked, and Mafia Returns still gets played on free weekends, I reckon it shouldn't even be necessary.
