350k players right now, how many are from the west ?

[mgkilla]

The question is in the title, this game seems to just have more and more players and I don't see it anywhere, barely any activity on twitch, youtube, tik tok. Nobody is talking about it. Are most players from the east ? Or is it bot infested like Lost Ark ? Anyone ? :D

The game isn't popular that much in EU and America, but it's way enough to enjoy the gameplay. We can only guess but current 300K active players is likely 240K from Asia and the rest for EU/States. Please notice that Naraka is (still) in XBOX Pass, Epic Games and they also have their own launcher + you have cross-play with consoles.

There're no bots that are created by Players like in MMOs. You have AI Bots from developers builded-in and they usually appears in every mode (ranks, quicks) and their amount depends on players in lobby and mode. In Ranks you have the most playerbase (and less bots) because game is very hard and mechanical (something like Tekken, combos and iframing/dodging in perfect time) and even in EU/USA there're a lot of Asians who are playing this game but on our servers because they live there. Asians loves hard mechanical games and they're very rank-obsessed, so that mode has the lowest Qs times and of course is the hardest for newbies.

I suggest you to play (if you can) at the Evenings on your servers, starting around 4PM to 11PM servers have the most players to play with but it's not like you can't play at the morning. I tried today the new map at 11AM on EU, meanwhile everybody are in jobs/schools and my Qs were 3-4 minutes for QMs and Ranks.

Please notice also that Events are not that popular in this game (like this new Mecha Mode) or any, because as I said before - even on our servers there're a lot of Asians and still they thinking only about getting better and get a rank, not casual modes.

It is nice game, but they made many mistakes + balance is not existent here. So all my friends dropped it. PvE is more enjoyable. Like... i can carry my friend in Code Vein and now there is The First Descendant, copy of Warframe with Stellar Blade-like skins - nice timing since PC can't have it. Of course, 100$ skins are total madness, whole game is not worth it from what i saw so far. We will see.
Also don't forget about new stuff in Elden Ring - it has huge amount of ppl.

It is not enough at all. On low Silver rank I get numerous players who are among server top 50 for their played character in EVERY GAME. It simply isn't fun getting destroyed by chinese nicknames every single time.
This game needs region lock & proper matchmaking.

OK so the situation is the same as when I first played on my xbox lol Not installing on steam then, thankfully plenty of games out there.

If you are getting low wait times does it matter what the % is. The game is picking up steam again since the third anniversary.

Factually false. That's not how that works.

You realise if this game only had 20k eu players it would still be easily maintainable.. People have really inflated numbers. Used to play hardcore POE servers when the game was new and not very popular.. It had around 12k players total and trade was still just fine.
