Max. server capacity in future

[Roman 45]

What are the plans for future max. server capacity? Has anyone heard the devs plans?

As we know official now holds a max. of 100/110 players online. Unofficial 150-250, i think i also saw some chinese 300 servers.

Now besides the fact, that there are currently AI spawn problems on those 100+ servers (you have a very hard life solo, sometimes even within a pack), it is in my experience more fun to play on 150-200 ppl servers. Im not talking about much more, i would not like this game to become too arcade, but i think V3 can easily hold 200 players and still the environment feels real and not overcrowded, etc.

For thenyaw 80-100 players are optimal. For v3 even 150 is a bit few. It would be nice to have 300 people,but i think servers will dump.

i agree about Thenyaw, V3 200 feels good, 300, well, have my doubts but could also be ok. Especially when humans will come sooner or later i think the capacity must be increased (?)

Anyway, hope that someone heard any devs talking about that and what their plans are for the final state of the game.

Also, i wonder if the current limit of 100 players on official servers (v3) is due to game balance reasons, or simply becasuse they cant program AI spawns well enough...i have no idea about programming...

More players makes higher ping. A server with 50 players gets me 40 ping but when the other 150 people hop on to 200, I get 300-400 ping

Iirc the issue they have with increasing the player count is that it proportionally increases the amount of spawned ai. And since AI are treated like extra players it doubles the load the server has to hold.

Well if devs cannot increase server capacity then they need to redesign future islands to not be so big. V3 feels desolate even at 100

The pings shown on the servers are wrong, thats what some people wrote here on steam.

once the recode is done in 10 years itll probably increase because the optimization of the game will greatly increase

Considering EU 1 has garbage ping with 100 players they would probably need to change up their servers and optimize them

ig paradise have c 180+ people sometimes 195-200,and the connection is good.

[Roman 45]

yes, that is true, and i am suprised that the official servers still have max 110.

Servers with more then 100 PPL....Lagging ♥♥♥♥ from hell .

Server 100 Slot: 15 Ping ~
Server 200 Slot: 600++

So have fun , dying and u have no clue where u attack from ambush

You are aware that the pings shown on the player tab is not correct?
The ones in the group menu are more accurate

As I said before, unless server capacity can hold 200-300 players then the devs NEED to make maps smaller than V3

Dont feel much ping difference on official with 80 players, and on pangea with 150.
