Hello gamers, just want to ask you if there is time that you can get a rbf game in EU server, or we are just in sad state that aos season just took all players into and there is noone left for rbf queue. I was trying to get it thursday after 10pm but didn't popped, I was cool maybe it was just late. But sadly after trying to get a game for one hour around 5pm at saturday just released there might be problem.

Guess there is no way to get your weekly rewards, we have to accept this sad state. At least before changes there was always like one game with less than 30 players that you could see in menu but we still performed at it and had fun. Now you just queue into deep nothing, knowing nothing and waiting for who know what when.

RBF is always dead unless there is event to give cron. And you need to finish the event quickly because ppl will stop doing it after they get reward. Why? well, because the balance is bad, the match it bad. 99% ppl just be the meat for top tier player to grind.

I guess you can write it 10 times more and there will be always reply that rbf is always dead. I will say it again, before changes you could see in rbf menu rooms and how many players are in rooms, also room started rbf even with less amount of players(around 24) so there was always small rbf going on even without event on in the evenings. I had option to join smaller rbf almost everyday and still get my rewards, even with 1 smaller room. I lost that option completly and my time isn't rescpected anymore if I join new queue since I don't know how much people are already looking for match with me nad how much are we missing, no information if some match is even going on to just wait for these player to finish and queue for new one, you are completly lost on whats going on with new rbf futures.

Rbf balance and mode overall is diffrent topic sadly.

I understand your point. I think they make this change because they just want to hide how bad the state is for RBF. If you watch those youtuber and streamer's videos they always turn on thr RBF window and show you there is either no room or only one small rbf room running and people laugh about it.

This is very not good for their reputation. That's the main reason for them to turn it off. So, they will never roll back the changes unless there is large popultion doing rbf consistanly which won't happen with the balance issue.

Making combat buffs run out in town would be a significant improvement to RBF accessibility, because it's a lot easier to check up in the background on whether your RBF match fires or not, than having to maintain buffs the whole time you wait.

Also, what's the weekly RBF quest apart from the event one for during events? Is this something EU has that NA doesn't or is this a personal activity rather than an in-game quest?

They need to fix the overly protected DP meta with players constantly sitting in SA. Anyone without endgame gear just becomes free meat. Guard gauge also needs a buff. Right now, players with lower DP can lose their entire guard gauge from a single skill.

In a nutshell, SA damage protection needs a nerf, while guard gauge needs a buff.

Also, Sorc needs some adjustments. It’s an extremely frustrating class for lower GS players to fight against. Sorcs can often get free hits after every teleport, which feels unfair when you’re undergeared. If the goal is to retain newer players, the class should be tweaked to be less oppressive against lower geared players.

I much preferred when you could start a match with as little as 2-3 players on each team. This was better than nothing.

Reaching the minimum requirement of 20 players happens once in a blue moon outside of RBF events, especially during AOS season.

Ever since the current season started, I've only been able to join RBF once, and that was this weekend when siege lasted less than 2 minutes and we had a surge of players thirsting for pvp.

Additionally, there is no indication of how many players are in queue, so you could well be the only one sitting there, for hours on a saturday afternoon, unknowingly waiting for something that'll never happen.

Time well spent, am i right?

Buuut, whatever we yap about doesn't really matter in the end.
It's all gonna fall on deaf ears, because as is becoming more and more common knowledge; Korea only listens to Korea, and PA absolutely HATES reverting past changes.

they managed to kill siege too on top of rbf. good job

Its litterally as simple as AoS is currently running and people prefere to play that as they can actually compete, simple reality is that RBF is only tolarable if you are in the top 1% or so of gear and only fun if you are basically hard-capped with trillions of silver to burn in buffs and is practically unplayable for everyone else, hence why no one does it.

yes i am also eu player and i was playing RBF before they changed it, usually after 9 pm there was small group of people playing RBF, it was enough to get reward, i died a lot but i did not care, i was getting reward regardless and that is what i wanted, but after the so called big change to make it better, they actually killed it, people are saying it is because of solare, i do not know man i will check RBF again after solare to see whether it got better or not but it is very sad that they killed RBF content even for that small number of players.
