So, what happens when the vast majority stops playing?

On the fence about this game cause of the "10lvl higher player is on the same map and camping a spot with 10 times the weapon and all the ammo in the world aka tarkov". When they get bored and move on to other games - are we free to play a Pve-game, or are we stuck in loading till the end times?

You'll be stuck in the hallway waiting for the elevator to arrive, I'm guessing. From the game messages, matches only start when X number of other human players join.

You're both operating under the assumptions that this game will never maintain consistent player numbers (because it's not like new players will join to replace the people who get bored and leave, right?) and that the developers would do nothing to accomodate a drop in player count like reducing the number of required players to start a match.

Which is kind of ridiculous.

I'm also not sure where this plague of campers is. Despite how much crying there is on the forums I've played dozens of matches without running into any campers.

Seems like skill issue to me.

according to steamcharts now game has like 100-300 players online atm

if thats enough to maintain queues now then it should also be enough in the future right? (so lets assume more people will buy the game over the month,even if 70% of them will quit and game will have like 250 players online at any given time it should still be enough right?)

After a minute of no players it wouldn't hurt to just add BOTs so players have something to kill.

300 players on how many regions?

[p00se2]

playing 34 min ago : 181

24-hour peak : 337

all-time peak : 337


iv came across

zero sievert
darkwood
zelter
and now
hell is others
(all top down pew pew looter shooter survival extraction* games )

whatever forum you check - there is a post about players wanting pve and coop


the potential is massive if features get combined properly
but hope for that to happen is limited

Wow that's crazy, darkwood with multiplayer or coop would ruin it. One of the best horror games ever

I've encountered a pair of campers twice so far in the couple dozen or so runs I've done. Just gotta maintain situational awareness and know when to fight or flee.
