    Wow, cant play survival due to not enough players... why?

    I tried to play survival for the last week on the ps4 and cant play because of a lack of players. Is there going to be a fix to this?

    Well I stopped playing it because it's not rewarding, you get more loot doing everything else than survival. There is no progression, no exclusive rewards no nothing. Exctract 6 survival caches and get nothing but **** every time.

    Yeah, I ran through a few times but tbh I'v gone back to running round the DZ. Ironic given all the arguments going on about how to fix the DZ and that's where I'm finding the games most fun. I enjoyed Survival but as a casual gamer committing 1-2 hours to play through survival just isn't worth the trade off for the lack of decent loot. And I still prefer the buzz of the DZ.

    I am partially surprised since the PS4 has still a large player base (you can find groups for Daily Missons or DZ almost instantly) and partially not surprised because to myself Survival has zero appeal as well. Its actually rather well made technically but to me the infection timer is just too annoying to bother with the mode in combination with the lack of meaningful rewards. Its just too much stress for a game and not nearly enough fun/rewarding. Overall its probably the most disappointing DLC/extension I encountered in any game and I really still enjoy Division as a whole. Just hoping that they will unlock some of the available zones beyond the walls at some point for the next DLC...

    Well, didnt play for some now, and as I will be getting back at it soon, I hope I can play some survival. But with all the people not liking it it would be pretty obvious that there might be queue problems. Wonder why the game is not just started after 15, no matter if there are 24 players wanting to play or not. It is content we payed for, now we cannot play it because other people dont like it? For me its still by far the best content added to this game in all the time.

    as expected

    a different mode

    • cut completely the resources looting and crafting
    • cut completely the disease and hunger/thirst but keep the time limit and cold
    • make it endgame (lv 34 enemies)
    • let us use our gear
    • call it Rescue and tell us to save someone kept prisoner by one faction
    • intel gathering to discover the position
    • other players looking like hunters even if they are doing what you are doing


    and boom

    Are you trying to match-make into a group? I find that this is where the long wait times are. Go in solo. I get into a game within 1-2 minutes when I play Survival solo.

    Which really tells us all we need to know about how many people are playing this game solo versus wanting to group up. Maybe Massive should take this into consideration and make sure to balance correctly for solo play in future content.

    Last night played with a group, got in instantly. Tried solo and it took several minutes. Usually prefer grouping up, but most people even in groups immediately run off and do their own thing.

    Were you doing PvE or PvP? I'll admit I've only played the PvE variant. Maybe groups are more popular on the PvP side, which would make sense. All grouping on the PvE side does is thin out how much materials are available to each person in the group.
