My take on fast royale

I am appreciative that updates are happening and things are changing on this website. Royale was one of those games that I kinda feel like was purely social/strategic and there wasn't much else too it. Sure, comps are in the game but it was a very minor part of the game. Royale is def my favorite game and I like that you meet so many different people in it. I see people saying that the other version was a lot worse because of how much time you had to invest, but I kinda liked the aspect that it was high reward for the effort put in. Also, it was all definitely a personal choice because I was getting my full 8 hours of sleep so if you chose to stay up all night the first night that was on you. Personally, I don't think much changed in terms of how much people are going to put in. I think the only time you can't really look away is the end game and I don't think much has changed there. Now, I feel like if I join I'm like volunteering myself to stare at my computer for 15 hours. However, I feel like with it being more fast paced now it kinda ruined the whole social/strategy part of it. The fact that one person can solo kill someone like 2 hours into the game is a little insane to me and with the health packs spawning a lot less there's nothing you can really do about getting killed. When it was a long term game you could kind of assess who was collecting stuff, who was gonna be allied with who, and who was going to be your threat long term based on activity levels. The biggest thing is if you don't eat a single food in the game you'll still make it to the end purely because it just ends a lot faster now. On the same note, danger zones & map shrinkage need to happen a lot quicker if each game is gonna take around 15 hours. I'm sure Sin is already working on these things so I'm beating a dead horse with this, but yes these are obv the biggest aspects. Lastly, I do feel like with the payout changes I am quite literally never going to get my hands dirty. I would rather risk being screwed over and just play again than screw someone over that will likely be in the game with me again in the near future. I do think this game is hella strategic/social and time based and the fact that I can go win a race and get the same points for getting 8th in a game that you probably spent 5x the amount of time on, idk. The payout part of the game is a question mark to me because I don't really know the solution to it. My personal take is that the old way it was run was fine but just needed minor updates. I feel like keeping it the way it was before but danger zones change every 4 hours instead of just adding the first one at 16 hours would make a big difference. Maybe changing the spawn rate to like 1.5x more than it was before would also speed up the game a little bit but not too much, but also keep the social part of the game. Also, just shrinking the map a lot quicker would force people to be in squares with others and not just be able to sit by themselves in a square. With it lasting a day I do feel like the rush of getting in royale and playing will fade away very quick because they fill once/twice a day. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Hugs you so tight Sin
