You cant do some solo runs that you done before this is another annoying thing
Become a mixologist and cost is super low
Server merges wont fix the problem.
The same reasons that cause the population decline will happen again after a server merge.
Then reset the hwm for everyone and make them grind it again with these changes, see how many people you have left.
Shut up with your elitist attitutude… ‘needed to be even harder’, no it most certainly did not.
This isn’t a job and you need to get your head out of your ass and realise that you’re going to be left with exactly those 20 30 people peaks if this thought process keeps going on.
I am going to point out, it’s the week before Thanksgiving and many college/university/school students have final tests, before their finals coming up. Not saying servers are not declining but saying a lot of students aren’t able to play like they used to because of last minute cramming to pass classes. Parents also have not seen students who went home for break and may be “forcing” them to spend time with family that’s in town instead of gaming. Ill build a judgement for the game once this semester is over.
Again, not disagreeing but thinking it MAY just be a slump.
Opinion as a university student who stopped playing as much for that reason, and Forza 5.

Thats maybe the case for US Servers - these problem is also holding on on EU Servers where there is no thanksgiving or other related irl stuff which would help to argument about it. Even worse, we have some countrys with a lockdown, distance learning etc. so the active players should be raising instead of dropping.

True, but I can only speak for the part I’m in. EU could have different circumstances that are lowering the servers in this dip than America. America’s issues are only a slim possibility, but it does line up. I’m only being slightly optimistic as if I wanted to play I definitely have the time.
I am transfer 2 days ago, only one change - easy to play Outpost Rush. All others - the same. Problem not in the population, problem in game … no intresting content after 60s, just farming gear score and no other way to play. Of farm gold and buy items from the high GS players, who have all that gear just from the regular mobs for easy …
No balance, a lot of bugs and no chance to solve them in the near future …

So true! Putting fires out!!!
What most people fail to realize is that MOST people who play this game don’t read patch notes, they don’t read the forum, they don’t care about what you people are complaining about.
They just login and play the game.
If they aren’t enjoying themselves, they don’t make a huge post about why they’re leaving, they just leave.
I’d suggest if you enjoy the game, play it. Things will get fixed.
If you’re not enjoying it, then I’d ask why you’re even still here?
Real simple.
It is not that simple. This is not chess or Mario.
This is an MMO, people are naturally way more interested in the complexity of the game, in the data behind the scenes, in frequent updates, new content and bugfixes. And the MMO playerbase is different from the FPS or MOBA playerbase. Way different. This is why forums thrive for such communities while with shooters etc. they do not - the crowd just prefers different formats, they rather go on Twitter and click on a link to read the patchnotes or devblogs.
Most players i know do care about what is happening with the game and the servers.
Most people stick around to raise a fuss because, much like with real life, if you don’t complain loudly, and often, changes aren’t going to get made. Think of it like protesting online!
However, at this point, I wager AGS doesn’t really care all that much about the state of the game. Their continued lack of action is evidence enough that this game is in dire straits.
Could be a valid point although the graphs suggest otherwise.
We will see. Lets just hope the player base settles.
Amazing unintended consequence. Merge them all now
Where were you guys during the ptr? You could have given feedback then.
I do however disagree with what you are saying here though.
Finally, you can gather endlessly and not care anymore that someone picks the hemp before you… if there would not be that unlucky storage thingie.

This game is broken, dead, at least my zone SA East.
I wish I could have my money back.
It doesn’t matter what they change anymore, will be always bad for certain groups of people, it’s unrepairable.
I think the worst is why I stopped, because I don’t trust in the economy anymore.
Lots of reasons this patch could be how it is.
Could be it was unintentional and leadership is pushing the dev team too hard, that 1.1 was built around the wrong branch of the game and so a lot of things are very different from what we saw in the last patch - with issues not seen since the beta suddenly re-appearing.
Could be that leadership has realized Lumberyard is not a sustainable engine, and are going to torpedo the game to re-release it on UE down the line.
Could be that they really just have no idea what they’re doing and all of this is accidental with no leadership to guide them properly.
Could be that they just want to condense the playerbase down as small as possible to save money on the game and have that playerbase beta test them into a sustainable model later on.
Who knows, fun to think about, they’ll never tell us what’s really going on. What matters is it’s so bad that people are wondering what the hell is going on at that studio.
I think the main push for me is they just buff the elites. Making it damn difficult to kill in small groups as forming groups is difficult especially when I am in a low pop server.
Secondly of coz it’s the bugs. Which they fail to fix and now affecting some quests. Eg. Dyrad wolves, loot boxes not able to loot.
Third, the fraction super imbalance. 10v1 or even 20v1 on not so popular fraction. Shouldn’t it be like unable to join the fraction once the imbalance of the other 2 fractions? While the players are forced to join other fractions. Until it hit a certain limit then the populated fraction will reopen again…u can do it to there server but don’t know how to implement in on fraction for balancing… weird…
This needs more likes xD
It’s just like those older games just stay there as cashgrabs over decades. Noone cares yet some diehards will stay, pay and play over centuries
Prob 2k on steam, prob 20k active total, prob 200k+ eur per month while simultaneously nothing needs to get done xD
It’s a winwin
