PTB Killer Queues

This is thte second ptb i have not gotten to try the killer because the queues literally take hours to get a match.


Theres gotta be something that can be done to ensure quick killer queues. Maybe open the ptb to all platforms. if you unlocked crossplay you should be able to put the ptb out on all plats right?


just a suggestion maybe it is possible but this is so silly im stuck playing survivor and i want to try the killer out.

    Even Blizzard, a much larger financial company, stated they won't ever add consoles to PTB. The main reasons stated are that each PTB patch would still have to go through the Microsoft and Sony approval process, that means even patches that tweaked what is already on the PTB. And then there is a charge from Microsoft and Sony for each patch. So, putting consoles on the PTB just becomes too much backend hassle.

    Now, Blizzard doesn't do Crossplay, but Hi-Rez does for Paladins and Realm Royale, and they stated the same reasons.

  • Adding more people wanting to try out the new killer wouldn't solve the issue. If you want to play killer on the PTB, I recommend getting a group of people and using KYF.

  • There's not really anything we can do to make the killer queues shorter on the PTB, it's out of our hands. The reason why the queues are long is because there are far more people trying to play the new killer than survivors. If there's not enough survivors to fill all the lobbies, you end up having to wait until you're next in line.

    As far as opening it up to all platforms goes, beyond not being technically possible, I'm not sure that would fix it. I have to imagine that people on consoles would lean towards playing the new killer as well, so you'll still have an imbalance between the two roles. It's not the number of people playing that's the issue, it's the ratio.

    makess sense.. just very frustrating. i wanted to try the new killer perks on diff killers but when getting one game takes up most of the session its near impossible. but then again kyf is a good idea
