Game population is nonexistant | Forums

[Varangian_Wolf]

I have a few friends who would play this game, if they felt like there was more to do than play dominion. You have NO population in game.
I posted on this about a month ago or more.

You need to redo your monetization policy and scheme to make it more player friendly, and you need to start HEAVILY recruiting new player base, using any means necessary or this game is going to die out.

You as devs have done decent work in trying to make this game more balanced, though you took a full 9 months to get it there. (And then broke it again with the Shaman).

However, what is the point of having all this new content an characters if all I ever get to do is play PVAI.
I had a 45 minute time on tribute last week, my elem matches average 25 to 30 minute waits.

I HAVE NEVER gotten into a tournament queue yet! NEVER! NOT ONCE!

You guys cant just throw new content at us and hope its good enough to attract attention, when YOU DONT HAVE PLAYERS TO THROW IT AT!

Get us some competition in here. Or this game will die by middle of next year. Ubi wont support this game past its original contract term if you cant prove you will maintain player base, and right now, its barely holding on. Anyone with half a mind can see that just by your game populations and matchmaking timers.

ALSO, GET SOME BOT DEFENSE!!!! BOTS ARE HORRIBLE! THEY ARE IN EVERY SINGLE GAME I PLAY LATELY!

Its not that no one plays... its that everyone plays Dominion and Tribute because they are the best game modes to most people.

Therefore, if you want to consistently play skirmish, it'll feel like no one is playing.

Most people will play Dominion and Tribute, the former because it yields the most XP and loot, and the latter because it's a new mode and because it's similar to Dominion as well.

Most newbies (after the free weekend and the 60% sale) are playing Dominion and Brawl. Skirmish and Elimination have the smallest playerbase. Duels are fine for now.

I'm on PS4, and this is what I've noticed.

PC, European Zone here. No problem on my end so far with the population. Playing Dominion, Tribute and Duels mostly.

Just because that mode is the one that gives more xp and loot does not make it the best way to level up and get money....Elimination is the best way to do that....with a good team you can do 2 or 3 matches of elimination instead of one single match in dominion....actually I believe that is one of the reasons of putting dominion with skirmish.....to avoid exploit of elimination.
