Not much player base? 1 European server.

Not much player base? 1 European server which is always full as reserved spaces being used. I bought the game and cant even get in a server. Much less players then HLL.

It depends on the time of the day and the day of the week. Right now, there's like half a dozen full servers.

The biggest problem with this game seems to be mostly the players. People only seem to play on a very few servers. You will always see a select 3 or 5 servers full, but people prefer to wait on a queue rather than just join a different server and wait a little for more players to gather.

Half a dozen full servers, only 1 in europe so good ping for me, and its full passed reserve slot so if your not in a clan your not joining... useless. No form of seeding or half full server.

Yes this is a huge problem when I just want to play and have other games with 50 servers full, plus 10 partial full, so good chance of one being in my region. Whether its HLL, Squad or Holdfast etc. the player base is real.

Not to be a prick, but when you buy a game, do some research, check out the player numbers. This game has been on the decline for a while, it might have a chance to be back to at launch numbers, its not squad, but under the same management. Having 4-5 servers full is a good day, usually 2-3 will be full or almost. Its entirely your fault for coming in with expectations without actually researching the game to temper your expectations. We are glad to have you but temper your expectations man.

Who does research before buying a game, player base etc. you just look, see its a good game, expect it to have a player base if so many people are still talking about it. ;)

it would also help if they fixed the server browser - it rarely shows the servers accurately, having to refresh it multiple times doesn't really help anyone

I read this online and had to come to steam to comment, this is the biggest load of wank I've ever heard. Not only are you like 'ooo research the optimum server times nerd' you then finish with a 'temper your expectations' .... ♥♥♥♥ me, what a welcome to the community.

I thought this is common practice. I always use steamdb before I buy a multiplayer game to see the player charts/numbers. Multiplayer games are simply usually all about having fellow players who play the game, if they are missing its not worth to buy it. For me thats when a game has less than 2k consistent people playing a day.

When a game has less than 700 players a day on steam db its just smart to research if those few play in times were you are online...
If you decide to buy it in the first place with such numbers.
