So few players now

[Devoured_Carcass]

I understand why the devs want to save marketing the game until it is out of EA, but there are so few players now. Most games there are 3 - 4 players maximum.

The bots are so eye-wateringly stupid and have zero object permanence. It is actually becoming mildly depressing and intensely frustrating to play.

It is all well and good holding out for your big marketing push, you only get one release, but if your game dies on its arse because it has been abandoned by its already small player base then it was not the right decision to make.

FYI I am playing in the EU region. I understand that people on Oceania servers struggle to find matches in this game (judging by other discussion threads), but it is not common for EU servers in most games to be low pop / deserted.

This game does so many things right, but letting people know it exists is not one of them.

Few players - I have a theory why. It's progress loss.

Several people stopped playing once they found out about challenges reset issue. That is a huge deal breaker for them. They probably warned their friends too, and so on. I myself lost my 40hrs worth progression and heard nothing about its recovery =/

Little content is not a problem, but inability to back up own saves is disturbing.
Why are they even located/secured (ha-ha-ha) on the servers' side anyway? It's not like completed x-wins, n-shots, y-travel add extra damage or speed increase, plain statistic.
