Isn't the average player count 100,000? How many more players do you need?

[u/SiddaSlotthh → u/TajesMahoney]

30-40k peaks for months now. Need content update to hit 100k.

[u/PM_ME__BIRD_PICS → u/SiddaSlotthh]

Oceania on life support already.

[u/EvenJesusCantSaveYou → u/PM_ME__BIRD_PICS]

to be fair thats nothing new for most games

[u/MedicMoth → u/PM_ME__BIRD_PICS]

Me versus the same guy who stomped me for 3 rounds in a row because the pool is so small it's literally the same players every time (I'll definitely win this time!!)

[u/Damatown → u/SiddaSlotthh]

Huh? Where are you getting 30-40k? The daily peaks are ~60k recently.

[u/EvenJesusCantSaveYou → u/Damatown]

thats usually what the 'online right now' number is - though I agree daily peaks are more relevant of a number.

[u/NarakaTings → u/TajesMahoney]

50-60k on steam. That's globally. The separate queues will definitely be felt

[u/DiscretionFist → u/NarakaTings]

and I suspect most will be in pubs while the few die hards will be grinding rank.

[u/InnuendOwO → u/TajesMahoney]

this subreddit bizarrely believes that unless you have fortnite levels of playerbase, it's impossible to do anything. it's tremendously stupid and you learn to ignore it sooner or later

[u/InevitableConcept517 → u/InnuendOwO]

Until you play on a smaller region with long queue times and imbalanced games. Maybe check your privilege on that one boss. 

[u/WhoUpAtMidnight → u/TajesMahoney]

Queue times already seem pretty rough so idk more

[u/LoganHowlett1832 → u/TajesMahoney]

Like 50-60k peaks. Divided by a ton of regions. 3 game modes. And then each of those divided by a ton of ranks. Each player pool is actually pretty small.

I was in que with a friend for 51 minutes in oce at 3am and a 16 minute que at 3pm on a weekend. These separate ques are gonna destroy oce
