Would it be possible to increase the maximum number of players for a killer game above 10 (ideally to whatever you define or at least to 15)?

I'm only asking as we are trying to organise a killer league within our clan and we currently have 12 players, if all played, but will probably be increasing that to 14 over time.

Obviously the chances of all playing are normally slim and there is the work around to have two smaller games running simultaneously, with the winners going through to a final, but for building a better team spirit one single game would be better.

Even if this could only be done for Friendly games it would be fine as thats all we need.

Thanks

good idea but the games would become too long unless you play the 5 sec games - even then it can take a while i played a 5sec 10 man a while back - it went on for half hour just to lose points for second. IMO i dont see why it cant be introduced - but i wouldn't use it.

Benefitial to clans, but in a normal game, it's hard reaching 10 sometimes

Nothing wrong with this idea as everyone has right to their own opinion.

Main problems with this is that it is hard enough waiting for 9 more players for a 10 man game.

It would benefit clans for team chemistry reasons but what would be the chances of every player in one team to be online at the same time for this?

Absolutely - and thats why its not essential even if it is possible to do - but if it is possible (even if friendlies only) it would be a small improvement even if only for a few people.

Well we ended up with 10 out of 12 last night - and I had another player message me saying he was definitely going to be online but wasnt in the end. One 11 player game would be much more fun than a 6 and a 5 player game followed by a 'final'.

That is actually quite impressive , I had no doubt that this can be done but chances would just be slim.

I do agree that weather 'Friendly' or 'Ranked'...... A game of killer with 10-14 more people would be great fun and really enjoyable, but only if the game got started.

The difficult bit is setting the game up - set up for the number you think and not everyone accepts the invite - or set up the number then an additional player comes online to play - and you have to start it all over again - such a pain

We are currently playing games with more than 10 people so hard for our team, can we have this increased please. Even if for a short time. If people are worried about the numbers and losing points with the larger game then leave the 10 max for rank only and opening the amount in friendlys to a bigger number 15 etc,

excellent idea.

not essential, but, would option of starting a game of killer before selected number of people have joined.

as said above by joker can end up waiting a while.

if person who sets up the table has option to kick-start a game at say 8 players when waiting ages for 2 more instead of whole rigmorole of setting up again?

daft idea yay or nay????

freedom to choose is fair enough, but once you play a 15 man game and spend half hour staring at a wall you'll never do it again

Certainly not a daft idea at all if it could be done - or if in a private game where you send out a number of invites that expire because the players don't all accept them then the game start is forced for those that did accept rather than having to reset and start from scratch.

Yeh agreed it might not suit everyone and may only be popular with, and used by, a large group of friends and/or (as in our case) a clan for social games with chat rather than for general games with players you don't know. But then again, that's why I asked if it could be done.
