Status on Players-per-match?
I remember YEARS ago that the reason there was only 12 people per game was because of engine restrictions. Welp- assumedly that is no longer an issue, and I would LOVE to have more people per lobby, especially considering this game is all about the PVP and the looting/PvE aspect is nominal in comparison.

This update has made it even more desirable to increase player numbers with this release of the new miniboss. People are instantly KOing it and leaving immediately. That is less action per game. Sometimes players try to nab them, but even so thats still attention that that particular match WONT see at the primary objective.

My point is, this game could do with less down time and more interaction per lobby, especially considering how there is virtually no looting aspect here.

It's time. Increase the player counts. There will always be campers, there will always be kiddos that only run around third partying, it doesn't matter. I find myself bored 30-50% of the time due to only having 1 engage per game (if that) due to the relationship between the gameplay loop and the low player count maximum in each lobby.

Yea I wouldnt be against trios getting 1 more team but not duos. Duos is already so hectic with people all over the map

I wouldn't assume the 12 player restriction is no longer an issue.

Think it would mess with the flow of the game. Big map with few hunters, trap sounds and a bounty. If you raise player count, it just becomes a generic team deathmatch.

1 to 2 more teams in duo/trio would be fine on this map

And a third of them would be straight back to the lobby from a spawn fight.

I mean you could add one team to trios without much issue...adding a team to duos might make spawn fights way too often but would greatly prefer that to matches where you see no others players since they get one bounty and extract.

Thats exactly what it already it. This is a PvP focused game. There is no looting. There needs to be more people, so the map isnt dead 70% of the time, just an aimless walking simulator.
