Multiplayer is dead?

[23]

This game is by far the best ARPG when it comes to combat. It just completely blows away Diablo, Grim Dawn, POE, Last Epoch bla bla you name it. Yet the game is completely dead, this game has the most satisfying combat yet, but the players are only 800 online or 900 at most its just sad why the hell is nobody playing this? I really want to buy it but i am mostly interested in the multiplayer part and random matchmaking with strangers to do missions, so the question really is how active the multiplayer is or how good is it? Is it random matchmaking nice and easy to play with people or what?

You don't have the game and you alrady praise it for being great? Bruh, you are the reason why gaming development is what it is.
Servers are pure crap, optimization was destroyed with one of their updates and the game has a number of technical issues. That's why the game has a very small player count.

I have obviously played the game before and i loved it, what i am really interested in is online play though. Yes the game is great, it has in my opinion the best combat, i mentioned combat not everything else but i loved how it feels. So playing this game online is something that interests me but based on what you said about the servers i have my answer.

I infer that you tried a pirate version. Then yes, the combat in offline mode feels very decent, however, the online mode has unbearable delay even with 40 ping (it feels like 150 ms at least).

Because everything about this game (except the story, because I just couldn't stomach playing this mess yet, ever since they butchered the game, so I can't comment on how good it is, so it might be this game's only redeeming factor) sucks and you're one of the very few people that somehow enjoy this turd?

There is the answer you're looking for.

Yes, you have to be able to play through the game on your own without anyone pulling you through in multiplayer xD

This is the reason I don't play. I don't mind buggy games. But co-op is a huge selling point for me

Game is a good single player ARPG through the storyline (except the very end feels rushed and haphazard compared to the earlier parts of the game). I enjoyed it on day 1, played OFFLINE because the servers were never online for a week or more. There is no point in playing this game online or past the end of the story, it sucks and that is the only way to put it. Gear progression is bad, there is no reason to be stronger, there is nothing to gain or see. Its is a good story based game, play it because of that then uninstall and move on.

I have only played Wolcen online, not a single minute spent offline.
The servers have always been up for me.

The game however crashes from time to time. It's annoying in expeditions. Not a huge deal as it happens maybe once in 10h, but it's still annoying.
The zones and monsters get boring fast and the items lack coolness. But the latest patch added some new monsters and zones (and maybe some items).
The combat is way above every other ARPG atm and the visuals are simply outstanding.

It's worth the money.

[it is like; whatever]

oh look here comes the, 'game is great and never bugg for me' shills. i guess 'great' is a subjective term. 800 playerbase could be considered great by some standards

Multiplayer is not dead. It just doesn't work, it wasn't alive in the first place.

The active players tells the truth

What are you talking about, I wasn't shilling the game, complete opposite, I pointed out quite a few negatives.
The game never disconnected me. Only occasional crashes.

Bunch of plebs coming from ARPG's of yesteryear, complaining of performance issues because they're trying to play a modern ARPG on a laptop that runs POE or the butt-ugly Grim Dawn at 30fps.

That was the problem with Wolcen. A few typical launch-day shenanigans, coupled with a bunch of 30 and 40 year olds still playing Diablo, was the death-knell of Wolcen, and they just couldn't recover. Gamers just aren't ready for a modern ARPG yet.

It's 3rd of April, not 1st, so the time for this kind of posts is gone, and i doubt this will pass as a standard not-april-fools-joke trolling/bait.
