Increased Lobby Size

[Superant19]

I feel there needs to be an increase in lobby size to 20-24 players in a match. Would help the game out a lot. Could be a separate mode that way those that want to stick with 12 player lobbies can. I feel like 20-24 players in a lobby would help the player base grow and make the games more interactive and exciting. You would no longer have those matches of running around for 10-15mins without running into another team, Honestly feels terrible waiting for pvp combat for longer than 5 mins. What are your thoughts?

They're working the servers now, which will allow them to open up to more game modes with more players! It's a small team for a game that just keeps growing. Increased lobby size wasn't possible in the past due to lack of players. It's possible now! :) It's a small team, a team assembled for a game that was much smaller than what it is today, but it's a VERY good one, with numbers to prove it. Hopefully their team expands with the game and they can ramp up the content with it! Cheers to the future! See you in the Bayou!

good luck with believing that the game is just not made for more then a handful of teams roaming around 6 teams was the sweetspot they worked out at the beginning but the 3 man mechanic threw that under the bus and more 3 man teams is pretty stupid because the maps are not made for the increased player count if the crank it up to 18 or 21 people then you cant even move around the map anymore without tripping over people and running into traps or getting clapped by 2 teams at the same time out of different directions.

When have they said they're working on servers to increase lobby size?

They didn't specifically, as far as I know. They are working on servers, and they are working on more game modes. In terms of resources, adding more players is cheapest way to add more game modes/content, so it's reasonable to suspect that that's on the docket. Timelines are anyone's guess though. But servers are the bottleneck for increased player lobby, in addition to player numbers, and they said they are shifting resources to solve server problems, so it was a bit of a connect the dots and speculation there.

Perhaps the hopeful "it's on the way!" was confusing. Removed

ok, I thought maybe they legit mentioned it.

But yeah, I think squeezing in 1 more team would be good for the game. At least for trio servers.

They are NOT working on servers or adding more modes. Their plan for the future, the distant future is to upgrade the game engine. The current one can only handle 12 players in a match, so you will see no increase in that until the move everything over to the new engine.

They mentioned in the most recent developer update they are working on servers and other game modes

[Studens Ludens #GameStudies]

yeah make it a battle royale with 100 players!!

people really have no clue about game design. Hunt and its maps were made for 12 players. the 3 man teams where an afterthought, because some people kept demanding it. just like dual pistol RnG crap. some people scream so loud and sadly sometimes the devs give in and at stupid stuff to the game

They would need to make a new map that's twice the size or you will get 3rd, 4th and 5th partied all at once.

[geordiebroon58]

as much as having to run the Entire map without any thing happening kinda sucks and having more going on like gunfights would be nice

the way the game works having more players on one server would only make it more chaotic and imbalanced acheving almost nothing but more / earlier gun fights this doesn't really suit hunts gameplay style or design only making most current problems worse and creating new ones

hunt really doesnt benifit from more players breaking the main gameplay loop in the long run

It would be nice to have, at least as an option, but ping will rise, and hit-reg could get way worse easily.

F it, just make it horse racing game...
