Game sucks with no alert happening

[Bob]

Came back to the game a couple weeks ago. I play on connery, so maybe it is just that server having population issues, but during the week there are only alerts closer to, during, and slightly after prime time it seems.

You can go 3+ hours waiting for enough players for an alert, and the game just feels like crap when it is so linear and with so few people.

If the game can only be acceptable during the most peak of hours, there is a serious problem; at least on the connery server.

as far as I know you can technically force an alert without much population (you just capture enough territory for your faction), current population has no impact on whether alert starts or not, only on the state of the map (unstable warpgates-the state in between-normal map)

It is bad, but to be fair... an alert with too few players would still not be good (though I'd argue still better).

Somehow they need an update like the bastion one from last year that will grav a few thousand extra, concurrent players for a while. It is just going downhill at this point.

Though I still feel the main problem has been how slow it is to unlock a lot of things, even as a subbed member.

I feel like they would really need to improve the experience new players have because otherwise a new wave wont do much, then again this was said milion times at this point..

That is why I feel the core problem is how long it takes to unlock things. The worse you are, the harder it is to get certs. Even good players have to dedicate a rather massive amount of time to have a varied amount of options unlocked.

And then many new players will sub for a month, only to find out you only get 50% more certs lol.... what a joke.

So many of my friends that have tried this game just wont stick because they spend 1-3 weeks playing the game and see not only how much of an uphill battle it is against vets of the game, but also lacking the same options most of those vets have does make a huge difference.
