How many players that are active actually?

I feel like I have been playing with bots that shoot wall, auto aim and predictable movement.

Nobody knows for sure. There is steam charts but that doesn't count standalone launcher players. T1-t4 have ai in mm though .

yea... the player count is near gone. as far as i can see. sometimes active chats. but in-game... i dont see many players. i dropped the game lately.... just not fun without durability playing a big role once again :(

I think the main problem that makes people perceive a much less player count at the moment... is the new tier system that the old players so desperately wanted back. Why is that? Because players are automatically and inherently segregated by design.

There are 5 tiers each with 5 different leagues, resulting in 25 segments total. The most active players are playing only in T-5 with either gold, diamond, or protonium rank, so if you're not in one of those segments, unfortunately there will be a severe lack of players.

No, there is 5 tiers, your league rank within is just for show. We are only being divided by 5 tiers, 2 modes per tier, custom & campaign.

Do they really match players of different ranks together? Oh jeez...

To be fair, if they split tiers into ranks q times would be insane.

Depends on tiers, it's obvious the most active players are at T5. The lower tiers are just for safe solo farming.

There is still a chance of getting AI in T5 so if you've joined an active clan invite them to avoid getting suicidal AI allies. That's pretty much all you can do to get active players to play with. There is always a way to enjoy the game even in dark times. So far T5 rail and loml have pretty good damage per energy.

T5 laser and plasma are also effective so you can expect a lot of annoying planes too because aeroflak is currently weak. Locking onto them while distracted and out in the open will do the job. T5 rail can do the job too but you must be able to deal with other rail users while avoiding suprise bombardments.

It's sad that the other weapons don't seem to fulfill their role in the meantime but all we can do is wait. I'm not having a bad time because I do tons of damage and rarely die in a match so the enjoyment of this game is in the hands of the player.

You can build.drive.fight but most importantly adapt to these updates to survive.
