Why there are so few players?

[Gabriel]

I just think it might be a good game if server was atleast 50 60 players? and not 20?
why there are so few players? its been mounths that game released

Not many like a WW1 setting? Personally I like it. But also wish more were playing. Has potential to be an awesome game.

i mean with 50/60 players per sever would be fun? 30 vs 30? but before the only server avaible i could ve joined was 9 against 8. that's not fun for a game with such a large map. it's developed for atleast a 30 vs 30. and a 50 vs 50 would be even more realistic to me. Just maybe they should low down the price to a 19,99 ? 15?

I dont see price as an obstacle. I think not many players know much about WW!,and some other WW1 games may not have been well done. Just my thoughts. I think BTW is the best WW1 fps so far.

I mean why do you think? Verdun had low players too. It's the genre. People like modern war, that's the way it's always been. The second thing is that it's early access and doesn't have enough content yet. No tanks and lastly compared to Battlefield 1 it had a mixture of everything which made it fun, even though it's not historically accurate.

Yeah but how many of those players will actually stay? The goal is to get players to stay not get people to just play. People will probably see the servers and how little they are and just eventually stop playing like postscriptum.

I'll be playing this weekend to see if things changed a lot and if they added vehicles

Vehicles aren't going to magically appear this weekend ..... And post Scriptum always has multiple full servers ....

i know that's why im saying "IF", tanks would help. Post scriptum has like 7 servers last time I checked, thats nothing compared to squad's servers.... When i first got PS it had at least 20 servers, half of them were full 7 servers now and only 3 are full is a bad sign. Just look at the steam charts.

Poor marketing must also be a factor

I heard about this on the release (of early access) and not much since. A proper marketing campaign should continue at least half an year after release

World War One is pretty niche to begin with as is tactical realism shooters, games like verdun and tannenburg never exactly had massive amounts of people playing them either though more that BTW. Also on release the game was pretty expensive for a game that was very early access, lacked content and still had a lot of work left to be done. Several of my friends looked at it in that state and just flat out refused to buy it, i got it on sale myself.

Verdun barely had any players when it first came out. I would say even less than BTW

I'm not one to care about how many full servers there are. If there is always a couple of full servers to choose from when I want to play then that's fine with me. I don't need to see thousands of players online in order to feel satisfied

Yeah but that's just you. You don't see the problem, it shows the game is dying if there is few servers, even if they are full. People want to hop on to a game and not wait so long. Less servers=more wait time

sounds like BF1 might have been the only ww1 game you've played. go buy verdun, tannenberg, all these ww1 games will have low player counts.
