Where is everyone? No one seems to be online playing the game

[PhantomX]

I just got the game yesterday, and I have tried 20 times to play online and all 20 times I havent found one single other player playing the game. Did I make a mistake and everyone has quit playing this game?

And before anyone asks yes I have checked the firewall, all setup properly.

Just to be sure, you tried the server browser?

[Ennkej]

Use server browser, not the matchmaking. Problem solved!

[PhantomX]

didnt know there was one let me look

[PhantomX]

Ok just looked it just about as dry out there of players no wonder I cannot find anyone to play with

[BlackMilk]

Then you do have a problem, because I am seeing lots of people playing on plenty of servers.
Not sure what, sorry.

Maybe because its a massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ letdown? lol

You're not looking hard enough. Check the game population in the community hub :) it usually progresses as the day goes on.

I reccomend custom map servers I usually have luck finding a lobby with 4/6-5/6 players on it already. Don't use matchmaking because it sucks ass and doesn't work for crap lol

There's a thousand players, not all of them are single player I imagine. It may be that your filter is too sensitive and you need to expand it's search results.

It is also worth noting that several clans are boycotting the game now, and that the player base took a huge hit, nearly 2/3rds of the players stopped playing. I doubt that would lead to 'no one able to get 6 people together' in a game with at least 1k.

why is there a boycott going on for? And I'm just looking to kill stuff nothing more. but i do thank you for the quick reply I finally had at least a one good match. And yes I have learned that MM sucks badly they need to address that

The developers have made some decisions that a lot of people are upset about. Some directly related to gameplay, others to things like the cosmetic item system.

But TWI is constantly rebalancing the game, so it's entirely possible to enjoy KF2 regardless of what they do with optional content. Don't worry about it.

never do, though as long as it doesnt become pay2win I have no problem, I usully sell or give away crates. I think it's stupid to pay $2 to open a digital box. .50 maybe. But, hey just my opinion.

They added a lot of unwanted features to the game that didn't make KF1 great.

Long story short, they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and people have moved on, thankfully.

It won't be. Firstly, this is ofcourse a co-op game. The only people who would complain about not having the weapons other people have are the ones who care too much about getting the most kills or post-game awards, really.

More importantly, non-cosmetic stuff is (so far) automatically shared between all players when someone who owns it enters the server. I haven't played a lot of versus, but I guess it's the same there. And if I am not mistaken the only available weapon is the zweihander sword, which I think was nerfed somewhat. Even if some players in a server have weapons not available to others, it's not pay-to-win unless those weapons are better than anything you can get without paying real money.

This was different in the last game, DLC (there were three custom weapon packs) wasn't automatically shared, but the weapons weren't restricted in who could use them. As an owner of those packs, I could go to the in-game trader, buy any of them and just drop them for other players to use. Hardly an issue there. And there wasn't any versus mode so it not being shared automatically wasn't a problem either.

People have some valid complaints about the gameplay itself. Certain mechanics, the difficulty level, etcetera. But TWI is still working on that. Other things aren't about the game but just about PR, really. Many players have a negative attitude towards TWI because of the micro-transaction stuff happening. And the transactions (IMHO) aren't that micro.

This sounds like a bug to me. Unless its a regional thing.
