[Question] Did this game die? | Forums

[Ghostkillz187]

I play on xbox 1 and I have never really had high wait times, I think once in the past. Last night my fiance and I jumped on and we waited 8 minutes to get into a game. Activity was low, this was about 6:00 pm PST in North america region.

Have people actually finally given up on this game?

Were you on quickplay or ranked? Because that wouldn't surprise me if you were playing ranked.

Now, if it's quickplay, then that is a really long time. I was also on Xbone during that time, and the waiting times weren't too bad at all, and we were in ranked, though i did DC twice during ranked play last night, but upon resetting my router, it was fine.

Is your NAT open?

I was super surprised too, it was quickplay, I have never had wait times like that before, I thought maybe it might have something to do with the fact that there was two of us looking for a lobby instead of four or 1, so it might have had a hard time finding a lobby for just two people. NAT was open, I have an amazing internet connection my ISP Actually has a specific network for gaming, and I run that network in my basement and have a completely different internet connection upstairs in my office for work.

My connection is definitely not the problem. I think it had something to do with being able to find a lobby with a spot for two people on the same team. Regardless, I have never ever waited that long before, the longest I waited before was 4 minutes.

1 time I did wait 11 minutes but that was inbetween rounds and it was back when if people left you would have to wait forever for people to join and then people would leave while waiting. But since they fixed that I have not had this problem until yesterday and it was different because we were at the start screen just sitting there waiting.

When we did finally get put into a match it was half over and I had a level 3 and a level 7 and my fiance and myself.. was not impressed.

Yeah the game is dying out, until the next GR title i've moved to Siege. I work nights. I used to just hop on, and get games from 12-5 am CST pretty reliably, now 3-4 am is the time when I cant even find a game

GW died for me long ago. ....and so has any hope of actually getting the additional hardcore elements they talked about including in Custom Match along with the searchable lobby.

Just waiting for Sandstorm now.

Gosh that game is going to be so good. I played Insurgency on the PC, and let me tell you folks, this game is going to be great.

What a bummer..... They just released (minutes ago) new details that the game will be released on PC in Sept this year but PS4 & XB1 will be pushed back until the first half of 2019. .....another year I guess.

Very disappointing news for console players.

EDIT: Here's a link J if you're interested. It shows some new screenshots and shares new details about the game.

In all honesty, the game is probably on its last leg. Not only is the player count down to probably its lowest levels (at least on PC NA region), but just about all of the remaining "major" Streamers are about to move on to other things. Now I know that most people dont care about what the Streamers are doing but realistically, they are the only ones still advertising the game. And when they leave, I can assure you, you will see the player base begin to dwindle even more.

You can probably point your finger to multiple reasons as to why GW is on its dying breath but personally I directly blame Ghost Wars downfall to one thing... the direct lack of communication from the Devs. Communication in the past was spotty at best and now that they moved the updates to quarterly, the lack of information / teasers / ANY INFO AT ALL has killed what should have been an outstanding title for Ubi.

You cant expect players to sit around in the dark with nothing more than "soon", "summer" and "we dont have any additional information" for 3 months and not get frustrated and or bored. Im afraid that even if this "summers" patch is AMAZING, the Player base has already moved on. Sure we may see an slight increase in Players after that patch as that always happen, but after 3 days, 4 days maybe a week, you will see the population dorp back to what it is now or lower as there are quite a few amazing games set to release in the next few months.

It's also they released the game without pvp .most people sold their games . As well pvp mode was not what many people expected or wanted . No weapon customization ,only 4v4 ,a suppression mechanic that blinds the f out of you ,Slow camera speed theres more but this game could have been alot better if they focused more on the pvp aspect .

I agree, the time it took for the release of PvP was the worst possible move they could have made, mix that with the terrible match making, the lack of customization, the over abundance of prestige points that you cant use, the bullet proof fences and leaves, the TTK, the fake a$$ gimmicky classes, the over usage of drones, the nerfs of viable classes. So many mistakes that Ubisoft made. The addition of "New content" that isnt new at all and is all the same as everything else.

Its a Shame Ubisoft. I waited 7 months not very patiently might I add for an incredible multi player experience. When the beta finally dropped, I thought this was it, limited drones, barely anyone using athletic sprinter, mines where needed and classes that made sense.

It is so unfortunate that Ubisoft literally did everything they could in their power to kill this game. My only question is why? Why would they waste money and manpower to ruin a game of this calliber?
