This is my first ever post on your Forum, but I am a huge fan of the series since Far Cy 2. I'm also the owner of a French magazine, and I've enjoyed every Far Cry of the series since the beginning. My crew and I are playing on maps I created for over a decade. So of course, when we first saw how INSANE was the new map editor in Far Cry Arcade, we were like... born again. I've spent 100 hours (and a lot of sleepless nights) creating a massive sniper map (Alpine Rift on PS4) that I couldn't publish for over a month, due to the infamous Redhorn error. At the time, I was visiting your Forum every day, thinking it would be fixed very soon. I trusted you, and I was right.



Since the Title Update 5, we've had the pleasure with my crew of playing in our own maps against other players. Each time we would submit one of our maps, every one in the public lobby would massively vote to discover our maps, and it was a blast. We've had epic games against unknown players in my maps, Until Patch Note 6.



That brings me to that question that pushed me out of my silence : why would you keep people from voting their own maps into a public lobby ? Seriously, this has been a massive disappointment for my crew. We're seven players, enjoying the game almost every day, and since that update no one is interested in going back to Far Cry 5. Because we just love playing on our maps against strangers, and now we can't.



We saw the massive improvement on the private lobby, but I'm afraid that's not enough. Even if we get all seven members of our crew in a lobby, that's only gonna be 3 vs 4. So that's clearly not as fun as a full team of 6 friends against 6 strangers in a public match.



I see what you are trying to accomplish. The news system in public lobby is almost perfect. I love the fact that it's not just the « Featured maps » that appears in the suggestion, but you really have to let people vote to choose the map they want to play, directly from the huge data base. If you don't want featured maps to be over-played, you just need to create a « suggestion » menu that appears in default when people are choosing a map in a public lobby. On the 15 maps that appears on the grid, just include 5 featured maps, 5 to rated maps, and maps created by players in the lobby ! I don't know. Something like that. We love playing on a map against the creator of that map. And that would be a great way to enjoy various maps, and not just Toys Room and Small Soldiers in an infinite loop.



The next DLC is coming June 5, and we sincerely hope this update will come with a patch, bringing back the picking option in a public lobby. I think by now it is obvious that your dedicated community isn't pleased with this feature, A community who loves your game so much, they actually bother to come and write feedback on your forum. Almost everyone here is disappointed. So please, do something. You've created something insane and unique with Far Cry Arcade, and you are lucky enough to have a community that believes in the game, and puts out AMAZING maps every day. I mean, some of the guys commenting on this very thread spent almost 20 DAYS in the editor, creating masterpieces that are way better than any maps we've played in a long time, on any games.



We deeply want to stay on this games for the years to come, but if it remains that way, I know for a fact that a lot a people are just gonna move on. We are counting on you !

Cheers !
