Players where are you?

[L33TCH]

Stemdb says 5,089 Players the last 24 hours, but I hardly see any players in the custom games and matchmaking hardly either.

What are you all doing? Just campaigning or skirmish?

GET IN THE MULTIPLAYER ! NOW

[lllaxmatist]

Nah, we need more QOL and Anti-micro features.
Sweat players can play with each-other.

trying to balance asymmetric factions for ranked pvp was never a good plan. not only unit composition is different, but also two completely different economies and methods of base-building. Starcraft is asymmetric but never that fundamentally.

so yes, campaign it is.

and I'll buy the game for sure

No thanks. I see no point in interacting with just about any multiplayer community.

I burned out on the campaign. My friends as well. Coming home from work and realizing that I have to really gather my self before sitting through a hectic and stressful mission where you often inherit a base that's under attack and you are continously attacked from all sides 24/7, you have 2 minutes to complete the main objective and finish 4 side-missions while micromanaging all on-use-abilities on different units in 4 different fights instead of enjoying and exploring a RTS game. This was far from the good old Red Alert-style game I was hoping for. Really not enjoying this at all tbh. Getting through the campaign was rough and neither pleasant nor fun.

A couple of examples from the campaign that I really disliked:

I clear an entire map of all enemies and capture the building for the main objective. All of a sudden the entire map is filled with Venti enemy armies and I have a few minutes to escort a
few tanks to the other side of the map. Instantly changing the entire map/enemies and giving me a new objective I had no army to handle it with since I cleared the map sneaky-mode.

Next mission, I proceed to capture a hospital (secondary objective) and advance from there. I see an enemy radarstation and I blow it up. Right as it explodes I recieve a new mission - capture the radarstation. Obviously the secondary mission failed before the text had even shown up. Things like this where you just throw stuff at us and give us 1 minute to handle it and just instantly flips the objectives and enemy forces upside down is such a poor design.

And so instead of playing this for hours on end like I used to with RTS-games I just found my self bracing for the one daily mission and after that I was completely finished and barely felt like doing another mission the next day.

Nope, Most of us do not actually want to play against others. It is not a good experience.

[Nihil]

Yeah OP you answered your own question.
Campaign and Skirmish. As those who are fans of these type of games always did 20 -25 years ago.

[C0nus]

This game is over. Boring and no play rank with friends.

I was playing through the campaign still when oblivion remastered dropped. Now I'm playing through that instead :p

[aeroth]

SP only!

[Glory]

We are a group of three. No use to continue playing this if one of us has do be left out.
So yeah ... no big maps and stupid pve balance changes keeping a lot of people away.

This. I've completed about 6 campgain missions but I don't the have the botheredness to boot up and play another, and it's just a total attack on the senses, and if you get one thing wrong, you have to reload.

The game is expecting players to play without enjoying playing.

It's fine if you don't complete a mission on your first try.

If all missions were faceroll auto-complete what would be the point of the game? Go through the motions?

honestly this is why I'm not in there lol. I don't have the brain capacity for the actions-per-minute required to compete. Literally skill issue.

People play RTS for campaign and skirmish? What a shocker!
