    Empty Servers (Not a dig at anyone)

    I have recently been playing with a few Asian chaps in the GZ 201+ at various times of day probably for around 15 hours or so in total.

    A bit weird cos I speak no Mandarin and they speak no English but aside from that we get on great guns!!

    The strange thing is that during these 15 hours, I have never once seen another player, an extraction triggered other than ours and every NPC fight area has always respawned.

    Whilst it is fantastic for farming NPC's and high end loot, I am just curious as to why this may be.

    Last night I matchmade on around 4 different server instances and all were full of rogues or teams running round in 12-16's which meant there was no loot to loot.

    Then I joined my Asian friends and again it was completely empty for the whole 2 or so hours that I was in there for, its bliss, just like having our very own PvE DZ.

    So what do we think guys + gals??

    Honestly, how hard would it be for Ubi to put up a list of agents in the DZ? Rockstar does it with GTA5. If they are scared to to list names, why not a simple player count?

    Sounds like heaven, enjoy and embrace it, would love it to be like that for me, micro stutter makes it unplayable for me and there is not even a fix for it now or even a mention for a fix in the near future

    A good idea but I can see it being exploited - "oh look - there's only 18 players in this instance - I can invite 6 of my friends without jumping to a new instance"

    Because that would show population trends and they don't like to publicly share that kind of information.

    How do I change servers to have less rogues just like you said here?
