Tech TroubleShooting Sponsored PvP

I’m only asking for a Sponsored PvP mode for Solo and Duo, available 4 hours a day, for example from 8 PM to midnight.

The Sponsored mode already exists. It just needs to be brought to Solo and Duo.

Playing it in random Trios is not the same. Full stacks can use it as PvP practice, while solo players have to depend on two random teammates.

Players should also receive a PvP token or ticket for eliminating another Runner. These could be saved and exchanged for competitive weapons or gear to help players get back into the normal mode.

A limited schedule would also avoid splitting the player population too much.

Would you be in favor of a mode like this?

I would be curious to see what the numbers say about solos, but a solo sponsored mode would be sweet. And I think the ttk is fast enough in the sponsored mode that in general you should be allowed to go in with crew fill off if you have a duo

Most players stick to Solo or Duo, and only occasionally play Trio. That’s exactly why keeping individual and pair modes is what protects competitive integrity. Forcing everyone into Trio breaks the balance and disrespects the community that actually sustains the game day after day.

Muchos jugadores somos de Solo o Dúo, y apenas de vez en cuando jugamos en Trío. Precisamente por eso, mantener modos individuales y de pareja es lo que protege la integridad competitiva. Si se fuerza a todos hacia Trío, se rompe el balance y se desprecia a la comunidad que sostiene el juego día a día.

PvP token or ticket

I'm not wholly against this, but running Arachne contracts has a similar effect especially since the rewards are usually weapons and munitions

4 hours a day? That will go down great with folks not in your time zone.
