Player Count Already Low

[IFaceCamp]

Bit disappointed player count has already dropped so low after just three weeks. For some reason this game just cant grab a larger audience. Even streamers played for the first week after the update, went on and on about how fun it was, and then havent returned since.

new engine! but the gameplay is the same with same bugs, same incompetent devs, same mechanics, same [][][]

The gameplay is arguably worse and now we only have one map people are getting burnout extremely quickly. 10k players right now. That is sad.

I dont think thats the reason tho. Like new players dont even recognize the maps are different. Its like people just hop on and have fun, but then lose interest like goldfish and go back to apex or overwatch or whatever else

Took Crytek two weeks to fix a lockup that occurred for some users when opening the map during banishing, and rejoining still doesn't work most of the time. Not a great look for any newbies trying out the game.

Like others have pointed out, MMR is broken, so all the new players are gonna have a hard time. They should do some early level lock. Like anyone under 25 wont be in a server with prestige 100 sweats

At first, I thought that myself. I only have about 30 hours in the game, but have had some success in beating players who have prestige 8 level 100 using ambush tactics. But I lose to them if I straight up dual them lol

it'S 8 in the morning in Europe, where the game is popular enough. Wait 10 hours and the player count will go up again... I will check, though :)

I gave it another go but getting shot by 3 kdr people whilst Im at .5 is just a joke. Didnt want to continue playing with this big of a gap.

I literally can't play because of the [lobbyinvite appid="594650" lobbyid="109775242845344246"][/lobbyinvite] bug

[Washboard]

Cheaters and ping exploiters also are ruining the game for a lot of us…

broken mmr (matchmaking) since 6 years
hundrets off bugs since years
broken ui (menu) since 6 years
Badest server i ever seen in a multiplayer game, since 1.0 release 5 years ago.
and many more.
i love this game almost 5000 hrs playtime.
not fanboys like me quitt fast because this reasons, sadly.
artwork and animation team are great, The rest are completely incompetent or just greedy for money.

u r wrong. It's more bugs

I think it was a bit of a waste to drop the new update without upgrading the servers or taking cheaters seriously first.

For just about any game youll see drops like this 3 weeks after a major update. Look at Elden Rings player count right now, after 3 weeks it lost 75% of its player count. Not everyone wants to play nothing but the same game for more than a month.
