NEST online play - empty?

[SpiraTech]

Hi all, I've tried playing a few matches online but it cannot find any rooms, also I tried creating a room but nothing at all. I am Europe based.

Anyone else noticed this? I do not believe it to be a networking/firewall issue, I've no issue with any other game playing online, well ones that are active.

Try and change your matching settings in-game. Also, I'm sure everyone's busy playing the single player campaign right now.

have to get pass ch2 to do pvp most ppl cant get pass ch1 right now lol

Most people can't even get there. Most streamers played the game and already gave up because of the bosses.

If this continues as it is, this will be the most niche Armored Core ever, made for the hardcore godlike giga chads. And I thought the old ones were going to always be the obscure niche ones...

It's really not too bad, good fun for a change. This is coming from someone who has really slow reactions now due to age 😂.

Well a big factor is 75% of the people who bought the game wont even make it past Sea Spider to unlock NEST

And the remaining 25% will be gone in a month after beating the campaign.
Pvp fights are mostly just mechs running double songbirds and shotguns anyway.

No idea why they didnt add any co-op or flesh out the pvp modes a bit more its somewhat disapointing. Would have love multiplayer pve,

I beleive FROM devs were quoted saying they wanted to move away from multiplayer in their games because they didnt like the community behind it supposedly making the game less appealing to main stream audiences. which is disapointing as I was a big fan of DS3 multiplayer and even had some good times with Armored Core 5 even further back

well the nest groups are there now a days, not sure if I'm one of those niche ppls you guys were talking about, but i am getting my butt kicked, and it's hella fun! did have to get some help for certain levels (YouTube guides), coral bosses are savage w/o using op weapons. but that's what they're there for.

they are tinkering their builds for the 1000 dollars tournament happening in less than 12 hrs

Between full rooms not showing up on the lobby list, region selection, and lobby passwords, the NEST can look a lot emptier than it is.

Try looking in the Global region, or finding an AC6 discord server.
