Gamma I Empty

Does nobody at Kabam find this even a little concerning? 11 days left and Gamma I is still empty, participation just keeps getting worse and worse.

Last time I reached GC two weeks before the season ended I got sent straight to Uru 2, now I'll go straight to Arcane 3? I mean I'm not complaining cause rewards are nice but it feels like the game mode is slowly starting to die

It'll be full by the time there are a few days left. Lots of people don't want to push GC and deal with the nodes there.

I'm struggling through trying to get there, but when you trade wins back and forth it's really hard to advance, I wish they would just get ride of losing medals on a lose so that everyone willing to put in the time would eventually get there, may be something they might consider in the future if participation continues to flag.

Make vibranium 3 wins. No need for an awful pain point when gc is this empty.

Was it like that last season? I didn't play last season so I'm not sure but I do remember multiple threads four or five days before it ended about Gamma still being empty.

Been like that the last several seasons (minus the boosted season). When I got to GC last season with 2 days left or so, I was in Uru 2. People do get there, they just take their sweet time.

I sure hope you're right then, I hadn't been grinding for a while until now so it just seemed odd to me. I don't recall GC being this empty back then but I hope you're right.

If you don't believe me, just check out all the "GC are empty" posts that came last season. Someone brings it up pretty much every single season of BGs.

Nodes in GC aren’t a problem.
I believe the problem is that many higher tier players aren’t in any rush to grind and waste additional time/resources in VT.
There’s no incentive to reach GC earlier, and many strong players are advancing there by playing only the daily objectives.
At least that’s what I’m doing, to get the maximum out of my time/resources investment.
Kabam should seriously consider solo/ally event points multipliers (higher the VT/GC rank, higher the multiplier) to incentivise players to advance earlier.
Next seasons that will have the solo and ally BGs events milestones update, it’s a great chance to implement a system like that and solve the VT “camping” phenomenon 🙂

I'll rephrase my post since I fell into the trap of speaking for others.

I don't want to deal with the nodes in GC, and that's a huge reason why I haven't pushed for it yet this season.

I haven't pushed yet because i forgot bgs existed. I'll be in there by the end of the season lol

Yeah but 5 seasons ago two weeks into the season there were thousands of people in Uru 3. Don't let the kabaam shills spin things. Participation is certainly declining and by a lot.

It's not all kabaams fault this is not entirely Kabams doing. There are some people who play this game as ultra competitive. There are a lot of people who are extremely casual and just like collecting and doing solo and easy stuff to get the best rewards. Bg in no way accommodates casual, less skilled, but mostly mid-skilled ftp who have always been able to still play masters war, you just quite frankly have to be the best of the best to finish in celestial as a ftp.

That's still a problem though. If the nodes are so bad nearly half of GC is still empty due to all those Valiant accounts farming in V3 until the last couple of days then Kabam needs to do something about unfun frustrating nodes to motivate those people to climb up.
Valiants are basically dragging every single account that isn't Valiant down with them til the last couple of days for absolutely no reason, that's not healthy for the game mode imo.

I agree, that's why I'm saying it's very odd seeing Gamma l this empty when we have less than two weeks to go already, it's never been like this as far as I can remember but the again I missed last season so I might be wrong, who knows.

It was like this last season. But it's a game mode on the decline for sure.
